Takahashi was slashed by an invisible enemy and collapsed, bleeding heavily.
“Inoue! Give Takahashi first aid and take him back! I’ll take care of this.”
“Yes-!”
Saito dragged Takahashi, who was covered in blood, and handed him over to Inoue. He then took out a survival knife from his bag and held it out, ready to protect the area around Inoue, who was carry Takahashi away on her back.
“Then, I’ll leave the rest to you.”
“Leave it to me! I want to do this as well.”
Inoue exited the sheet safely. Now, all that was left was to kill the DPRODUCT.
DPRODUCT, Saito never thought this guy would show up. PRODUCT meant the product, or multiplication of values. Just as DSUM added up all values that met the conditions, DPRODUCT multiplied all values that met the condition. There were very few situations where it was used in daily life or in a typical workplace. There were many functions with PRODUCT in them, but they were all used infrequently. However, there was one here now. Since they had met, it had to be dealt with.
Placing his back against the wall, Saito strained his eyes to spot the moment space distorted. No matter how well it could hide, it wasn’t perfect.
“There-!”
Noticing a slight disturbance in space moving from left to right, Saito threw a coloured ball at it. A dark blue colour stuck to the floor. There was no need for a direct hit, just a little bit was enough. Looking closely, a slight blue stain could be seen moving. It was a hit. Following the stain with his eyes, Saito closed the distance.
“Are you trying to hide?”
The DPRODUCT showed itself, as if realising the futility of trying to hide. It had a dull coloured mask and armour. It also had dreadlocks and long claws on its gauntlets. The DPRODUCT slowly approached Saito as if telling him to entertain it.
“I’ll entertain you.”
Saito slashed forward with his survival knife. The DPRODUCT caught it with its claws as it seemed to say ‘is that so?’. Saito dropped a grenade with the pin removed at its feet.
Hearing the thump, the DPRODUCT looked down, giving Saito the opportunity to kick it in the stomach. After doing that, Saito jumped backwards, just in time for the explosion.
“Did it…?”
The DPRODUCT emerged from the smoke, removing its burnt mask.
“It’s not that easy.”
The DPRODUCT clicked its four mandibles together as it lowered its back.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH—-”
The DPRODUCT spread its hands as it shouted.
Chudun-
Saito shot the DPRODUCT with the gun he had assembled during the explosion.
“Ugly motherfucker.”
Saito said that as he quietly approached the motionless DPRODUCT and put his hand over its ugly face to process it.
“Now then, shall we go back?”
With the DPRODUCT gone, Saito was taking a breather when a function with an elongated back and tail appeared.
“KISHAAAAAAAAAAAH-!”
Inside the function’s mouth was another small eyeless head.
“Really, what on earth is this user making?”
Saito held his gun listlessly.
