At the Ruined City

"It looks like a city at the end of the century right from the movie…"

"Yeah really I've seen this kind of scene at Bio -zard or sos while aze at the surrounding alertly, but bewilder on their face

"Wait, Ryutaro Stop that already What are you going to do if zombie really comes out here"

Shizuku replied with a repulsed face And then, with her expression looked si The scenery of a devastated city was spreading in the eyes of Shizuku and others

When they came out from the rich colored space, they arrived at a modern city that looked nearly sih-rise buildings crowding together However, just like what Suzu and Ryutaro said, it was as though several hundred, or maybe even several thousand years had passed, everywhere they looked there were only decaying ruins

There were buildings that looked like they could crus that were barely standing by leaning on the neighboring building All the spot that seehly, with the reh and hard round, but there were countless cracks and undulations and also caved-in spots

Fronboard scattered everywhere on the building wall or ground weren't earth letter, and how they couldn't find any traffic light at all on the street, further wasn't reinforced concrete, they could barely grasped that this wasn't a city of earth

"Perhaps, in the past this city was crushed and then it was brought here whole So athat shitty bastard would do There is also the trace of construction technique using ic that is completely impossible for the current earth applied here, it's like sohly built a co it"

"…There art a li a bad taste"

"This is the worst…"

Even on earth, there was a lot of romance stories about ancient cities that didn't rey even more advanced than the ht be a country that developed using ic in place of science until near the level of the modern earth

And then, as built up by those people was un The figure of Ehito Rujue laughing loudly floated in their h the city was devastated that it looked tragic just fro, the townscape that looked similar to the modern city of earth ic, they also felt that they were shoould happen if Ehito was let free in the earth, causing the, by the ti the co Ben entered their sight fros It appeared that clock toas the entrance to go to the next area

Haji the path that was heading toward the clock tower through a huge intersection

But, right after that, his eyes quietly narrowed and his foot that was about to step forward returned back Looking at his dangerous gaze, even the uessed that there was enemy and readied themselves Only Shia seemed to be the one who had deteraze fixed for ato another location continuously There seeaze

"Haji to do?"

Shia was tapping Vire Doryukken on her shoulder while asking

Toward that, Hajime's ansas…

"He, then pulverizing it all together with the cage is coht? Everyone, prepare to jump"

" " "Eh?" " "

In front of Shizuku, Suzu, and Ryutaro who raised befuddled voice froe type weapon froe cross shape, at one of its side there were three protruding objects that looked like a wing attached

――New Rocket & Missile LauncherAgni Orkan

There were two of the two three-s in both arh he was clad with a reinforced exoskeleton

"Now then First of all, it's troublesohly"

Hajini-Orkan at both his sides was showing a deers without hesitation The inside of the surrounding buildings became noisy, but it was already too late

pshuu pshuu pshuu With such sound the ss slide, inside it, there were countless pencil missiles loaded up, those missiles flew out all at once

Their number had already surpassed three hundred The sware fire line while slipping ss as though understanding that the enemies were there

Furthere missiles were scattered from the six muzzles at the tip of the cross to the center of the ruined city, all within a few seconds, they scattered to all directions in order to traruesome explosion sound and tremendous shockwave - flao Along with such roar, the group of ruined buildings ere only barely standing even in the best of tian to cru, is falling toward here!"

"That's why, I told you to jump"

"Don't say that so cal in the ruined buildings who barely survived the fierce attack of the pencil missiles tried to ju ruins even while they had lost some limbs Hajime who courteously sent theni-Orkan that was coot a tsukkomi from Shizuku while she invoked the 'Air Force' in her boots and leaped to the air

The frags rained down from above like a heavy rain, Suzu and Ryutaro also ju cras

And then, they sos and landed on the rooftop of a derelict building in slight distance away

"…You see, Suzu once saw the news on television It was the ie of an air raid in a conflict area Suzu wonder if that feel like this"

"Fighting is so up the whole city huh This is already unrelated with technique or experience huuh"

"Both of you, don't get far-away look like that…I understand your feelings too"

Dust rose up grandly Looking at the ruined city that was instantly turned into a scene like a conflict area made Suzu and Ryutaro have a far-away look Shizuku patted their shoulder while thinking inside her heart "Just what is strength?" It was at that tiacha such sound that was like the symbol of ominous itself resounded

Shizuku turned her face to that sound with creaking ure of Haji was…

" " "You are going to attack again!?" " "

"If you are going to do so then do it until not even a piece of ot placed on the Kojiki" (TN: Kojiki = Record of Ancient Matters (Japan's oldest historical record))

There is no such bloodthirsty culture! Suzu and others were going to ers were pulled faster than they could open their e and small missiles danced on the sky oncedown at the intersection where the wreckage of destroyed buildings was scattered

"There is nothing to do isn't it?"

"Goshujin-sama too, he looked calm but it looks like his frustration hath piled up considerably It can't be helped How about atch over him warmly until our turn comes up"

Amidst the flaaze at Hajiine the laugh of Laharl fro lethal wounds at possibly hundreds of ene at those two, Shizuku as plugging her ears with her fingers froh fro if she really had to reach the level of the two

"Why did I fall in love with this kind of person I wonder?" Just when she was thinking of soht, suddenly Hajini-Orkan's muzzles at his allies

And then, in front of the startled Shizuku and others, Hajiers with not even a speck of hesitation just as expected Looking at the missile swarm that immediately flew out, Suzu went "Hii!" with a pathetic shriek

But, naturally the ular trajectory while evading Suzu and others beautifully and flew behind them

And then, flame explosions were scattered one after another at abandoned building around five hundred meters away from them It was truly an air strike

Just what in the world is he attacking there? Suzu and others were thinking that while trickling with cold sweat froht after that, pure white light pierced the sky frouonna leave Kouki to us!"

Suzu and Ryutaro turned back at Haji to the sky was undoubtedly Kouki's ic power to defend against the sudden air strike Hajime supposedly promised to leave Kouki and Eri to Shizuku and others, so the two of them directed flustered look at Hajime

"That's why I attacked the to run away after all I made the explosion to surround them without any direct hit so it's fine In the end, it was just to hold them in place"

Haji at the scene of high-rise buildings collapsing like a joke at the surrounding He only looked like a guy screwing around saying "I hit the the sharp blade at the ene the sky fro at all, so certainly Hajime didn't hit them directly Even when they understood that, as expected the cra of Suzu and Ryutaro's expression didn't stop

"It appeared they were heading at that clock tower to escape As expected, we can go to another space from there I don't knohy they are in this kind of place but…well, you guys can talk with them to your heart's content"

"Ye, yep"

"Ou…"

Suzu and Ryutaro nodded, at the same time, Haji after he were Shia and others Their movement that applied 'Air Force' and 'Ground Shrinker' made the distance of five hundred meters into zero instantly

Kouki and Eri who had no place to escape surrounded by shockwave and fla frouessed they would be targeted with missile swarm once more if they tried to run

Hajiot discovered Even though we expressly hid in one of Ehito's space collection, why did you all cah this place is the farthest place from the Divine Gate spatiallyy"

"Eri Either way, I have to liberate everyone froumo If the other side coodsend instead, right?"

Kouki and Eri clung tightly to each other like a pair of lovers while exchanging a talk that strangely didn't mesh with each other

It appeared that froet involved with Haji that he had to rescue his comrades who he was convinced were brainwashed by Haji Eri anted to run away Kouki's eyes also looked cloudy, so they guessed that he had been brainwashed by 'Bind Soul' to the degree that he couldn't feel the contradiction as a contradiction

The gaze of Kouki who like alas equipped with a painfully bright holy sword and holy araze wasup

And then, there was Eri as rubbing her cheek on Kouki's shoulder while letting out a coaxing voice that sounded sticky sweet, it was unclear whether it was subconsciously or consciously, but her attitude looked exactly like how her mother once was Her outfit was clothes that had the chest and back part largely opened, the bottom also had deep slit inserted, the color of the clothes was pure white thatthat the one as Kouki's heroine was exactly her

"Naguinally you are someone that I have to save no matter what but…what you had done is too much You killed your classmate, and you even brainwashed them…I, even if I have to dirty this hand, I will defeat you And then, I swear I will save everyone from your filthy hand!"

"Yaaahnn Kouki-kun, you are so coool~"

Kouki sent a s to hi his holy sword

"…Hajiuys had becoripped her black katana so hard that it felt like creaking sound could be heard while she was urging Hajiic eye behind his eye patch while confir at Shizuku What he referred at wasn't about Kouki's behavior, he was pointing at the overflowing strength fro until now

"I know that But, it will be fine Your artifact is together with me Besides, you have the objective to rescue Yue correct? We are the one who should do souess"

Hajilance at Kouki as sending hi the way Shizuku called Hajime's name and their talk that was filled with trust And then Hajiaze

Kouki that guessed that Haji hi froic power also further roared and burst up

"You want to escape-! You coward-! As I thought, I will defeat the filthy yo――"

The moment when he lifted his holy sword to let fly a slash, Kouki was bloay by an i to him was also forcefully separated from Kouki by an explosion of a really small barrier that was deployed near her unnoticed

At the place where Kouki was standing before, there was the figure of Ryutaro with his fist outstretched unht, you too are brainwashed by Nagu to help you right now yeah? Doing souet turned into …"

"So you ain't getting it huh, the you right now You got reallyyou, this awesoonna beat you up black and blue until you wake UUUUP!"

Ryutaro howled Kouki's state that looked really tragic fanned up his rage That violent rage was directed at his best friend who didn't want to look at reality, and at his powerless self who couldn't do anything until his friend was turned into soe was poured into the fist that was tightly clenched like a rock, Ryutaro leaped toward Kouki

"Aaaann, geez- That's cruel to separatethat a be-st-fri-end would do? Hey, Suzuu?"

"…Because Suzu feels that Suzu is your best friend, that right now, Suzu is here Suzu won't let Nagumo-kun and others lay their hands on you, so it's fine to not be that scared you know, Eri?"

"…Hee, looks like you can talk big right now eeh"

Eri's expression quietly vanished due to Suzu's calirl and a docile ene, Eri could feel a larger presence fro her brain inside her heart due to the unexpected encounter with Hajih by Suzu

Suzu floated a se She understood that she had finally becoumo-kun Just as Shizushizu said, leave this place to Suzu and others, 'kay?"

Suzu said while drawing out the twin iron fans dangling on her waist and readied herself

"…Don't get half-assed After all, it will be troublesoets it Suzu will properly settle this, no ued, then he directed his gaze at Shizuku Shizuku too, she shtly and nodded

"See you later"

"Yeah Later"
