Start By Becoming A Mangaka
Chapter 727: The First Rule

Umiko had been waiting for him and his friend that he would be invited to the airsoft gun match. She was waiting for a while until she heard the sound of a horn and turned her head. She saw a big car that was moving toward them.

"Umiko," Yuuki said while letting it out of the window.

"Yuuki," Umiko nodded. She was wearing normal clothes while bringing a large bag to keep the equipment for the airsoft gun competition later.

"Come in," Yuuki said and opened the door to the middle seat of his car.

Umiko entered the car and saw a lot of people there, "Which one is Tsugumi?"

"I'm," Tsugumi said. She was sitting in the front seat with him right now.

Umiko nodded, "Nice to meet you, let's win the battle later." Her eyes became serious when she saw her.

"Yes," Tsugumi nodded. She could feel that the woman in front of her was very strong.

"Hello, my name is Kirisaki Chitoge," Chitoge said.

"I'm Paula," Paula was quite bored sitting in the car.

"Hello, my name is Ahagon Umiko," Umiko was a bit embarrassed introducing her name and said, "Just call me, Umiko."

"Ahagon?" As expected, her name attracted a lot of people's attention inside the car.

Paula wanted to say something rude but she was glanced at by him and made her shut her mouth.

"I'm from Okinawa," Umiko said while sitting down. She closed the door and looked at the three girls and wondered what their relationship was, but she didn't say anything.

"Is that bag full of weapons?" Chitoge asked. She had seen a lot of weapons but this was her first time seeing a replica.

"Yes, do you want to see it?" Umiko asked.

"Yeah," Chitoge nodded. She looked at both Tsugumi and Yuuki with sighs. She knew that it could become her chance to become closer to him.

Umiko is a military fanatic and she will become very excited when she starts to talk about the military.

Chitoge suddenly swallowed by the conversation and couldn't escape from Umiko, 'Ugh....'

Tsugumi realized her Ojou had been troubled by the conversation. She looked at him and asked him to help her.

Yuuki glanced at her and said, "Umiko, I'm not sure about the rule of this competition, can you tell us more?"

"Oh, I haven't talked to you yet?" Umiko asked.

"Yeah," Yuuki nodded and suddenly asked, "That's right, I have heard of people who work part-time to become debugger? Her name should be Nene, she is a friend of Aoba."

Umiko suddenly sighed when she heard that name, "That's right, that girl is very troublesome." She started to complain about that girl to them.

Yuuki chuckled, "You sure love that girl."

"No way, that girl is similar to a stray dog, she loved to make trouble," Umiko said with a sigh and looked at him, "That's right, let's talk about the rule of this competition."

"Oh," They nodded and started to listen to her.

"Alright, to join this competition, you need to create a team, the number of teams is three people," Umiko said.

"Three people?" Tsugumi asked since she didn't know the details from him.

Yuuki also didn't know the details of the competition and only invited her to come. He might be a very irresponsible guy in the world right now.

"Yes, three people and it might be nice to have a substitute," Umiko said while looking at Chitoge.

Chitoge was surprised, "I'm going to join too?"

"Yes, but as a substitute, you can reject it if you want," Umiko said and looked at Paula, "How about you little girl?"

"I'm not a little girl!" Paula complained.

"No, it is okay, I can join this competition," Chitoge nodded and felt pumped up since she wanted to join.

"Ojou, is that okay?" Tsugumi asked.

"Yes, don't worry, I have learned to use a gun from Claude before," Chitoge said.

"Oh, you have used a gun? Is your family police or an army?" Umiko asked curiously.

"No, they're mafia," Chitoge said with a smile.

"....." Umiko was stunned and looked at him.

"What are you surprised about? My family is also from Yakuza family," Yuuki said.

Umiko thought for a bit and suddenly remembered that was true. She looked at both Tsugumi and Paula, "Are both of you a hitman?"

"Yes," Tsugumi and Paula answered without hesitation.

"Is it okay to say your identity to other people?" Yuuki thought that a hitman should hide their identity.

"It's okay since she is your acquaintance," Tsugumi said.

'But still...' Yuuki knew that Umiko was a normal person and when she wasn't sure what kind of reaction that she would show after this.

"Good! This is very good! We can win this tournament then!" Umiko suddenly said and thought that her team would be invincible during the competition.

"....." Yuuki didn't expect such a reaction but he was glad that she didn't show fear or anything.

"You're not afraid of us?" Paula asked.

Umiko shook her head, "No, you're all his friends and I believe in him."

Yuuki felt a bit embarrassed by her words.

"Black Tiger, be careful, I smell that she might try to target him," Paula said.

"Paula...." Tsugumi was speechless.

"Cough! Cough!" Umiko blushed but her skin was dark and it was hard to see her blush. She looked at them and said, "Alright, let me continue."

They looked at her and nodded.

"Good, the first rule of the airsoft gun is...."

They gulped waiting for her answer.

"To not get shot by the enemy," Umiko said.

"..."

"Isn't that obvious?" Chitoge said.

"Yes, it is because it is obvious that we need to act that we're in the real battlefield, one shot from the enemy and we will die from the battlefield, remember my words, don't treat this as a game but as a real battle," Umiko said with serious expression and asked, "Do you understand?"

"Yes, mam!" They answered unconsciously to their first airsoft gun competition.
