Akasaka spoke again. "Honey, you're crushing me. Get off."
Mahiru got up and looked at her husband beneath her, muttering softly, "Are you saying I'm heavy?"
Akasaka said, "No, that's not what I meant. It's just that your legs are wrapped around my chest—I can barely breathe!"
"Oh, oh!" Mahiru immediately rose from where she had been sitting cross-legged on Akasaka's chest and held out a hand to pull her husband up.
Sakata Gintoki also arrived with the two female referees hanging off him like accessories, one slung over each shoulder like dead dogs.
The two female referees felt terribly uncomfortable hanging from Sakata Gintoki like that, as though they might throw up at any moment.
If they had known they would be rescued this way, they would rather have taken VSXANXUS's shot head-on. At least they would not have suffered like this.
VSXANXUS raised both his guns and aimed them at Akasaka, Sakata Gintoki, Mahiru, and the two female referees, intending to deal with them all at once.
"All of you, die together!"
VSXANXUS fired without hesitation. No one knew where he got the courage.
He had struggled enough just dealing with Akasaka, yet he actually wanted to take on five people alone...
The two Flame Pillar Gun blasts were about to hit.
Sakata Gintoki shielded the two female referees behind him and used his wooden sword to disperse one flaming pillar.
The other flaming pillar was aimed directly at Mahiru.

Tsunayoshi Sawada shouted, "Colonnello-sensei!"
"Got it!!!" Colonnello instantly loaded a Dying Will Bullet into his sniper rifle and fired it at Tsunayoshi Sawada's forehead.
After being hit, Tsunayoshi Sawada successfully entered Dying Will Mode. He stepped directly in front of Mahiru and flicked his hand casually, knocking the flaming pillar off course and sending it
