Arifureta Extra Coate Lord of The WorldBerserk, Was in Your Heart Right Froo That sound that sounded like earth ru, and impact sound DON- that resounded until the bottom of stomach could be heard

And then the one who screa pyon was E after Professor Down

Vanessa as running beside Emily wasn't perturbed at all Perhaps also because it was just the two of theht now, Vanessa was currently in the cool beauty Vanessa-sanVanessa like that, E a little embarrassed

「An expression of shyness――priceless」

「Aa, yep Even when you are in work mode, but the inside is still Danessa」

While the sound of gan-gan- fro, E that kind of thing with a crisp expression

「At any rate, Kousuke-san is really going at it flashily」

「You're right That must be just how absurd that berserker is」

「A lump of meat――just what in the world, that……」

Emily spoke her deduction to Vanessa's whisper That was the same with the answer that Kousuke reached personally It was a deduction that showed the depth of human's sin

The berserker chiation that huainst, when Vanessa heard the true identity of it, her expression htly That wasn't because she orried for Kousuke, but it was so that was directed to Emily who could talk about her deduction so calmly

「I understand now that it has absurd abilities but……Doctor Grant, you don't look like you are particularly worried」

Elance of Vanessa toward her, however, Eht ahead

「I' Kousuke is, there are et injured, and it was the first ti uneasy that hereckless」

「Is, that so?」

Even so Emily looked relatively cal Vanessa like that, E to speak「But」

「Even so, that person……is my hero after all」

That hy, she believed That no matter what kind of difficulty he encountered, no matter what kind of irrationality he was exposed to, no matter what kind of pinch he fell into, at the end he would surely overcome it all and fulfilled his promise He would save the children, liberate that pitiful existence fro that mercenary as rotten to the core, and then rushed to her side Yes, she believed

「That's why, I, I have to do what I ought to do I have co selfishly I cannot afford to be flustered or anything Looking back will be an insult to Kousuke who believed inglances at Eh she understood soht ahead and advanced without hesitation A sood woman Surely Kousuke-san too will accept you Leave the hotel reservation toout!? Really, what are you , Danessa!」

Emily slid down due to the flow of the talk that suddenly went toward a vulgar direction She alhtly She stood up in a hurry and started running once ly at Danessa She prepared the firing of her cat punch

Although, the Vanessa in question wasa puzzled expression instead That irritated Emily excessively

「Doctor Grant In movie or film, at the last scene the main character will kiss or bed the heroine In the case this time too, it will be the best if it's concluded with Kousuke-san and Doctor Grant acting a passionate bed scene Leave about the scene recording to this me, Vanessa」

「Be be be be be, bed scene!? Idiot- Danessa you idiot-! There is no ill do so that ill never do it but……that, I only thought a little about it, like 'I too someday will~', but if I'm asked by Kousuke it's not like I'll refuse……wait that's wro――ng-! That's not it! Or rather, what's with you! What do youhuh! Just what kind of position!」

「Any kind of event need to have memento about it left behind So please feel relieved I'll also participate at the middle A sticky and wet, passionate threeso――」

「Don't say anyht-man skill was already reached the maximum number At the same time a cat punch was let flew That punch which was unleashed under the straight-man skill splendidly bored on Danessa's cheek

「? Why, was I punched?」

「This person is hopeless already I have to ask Kousuke, to turn you into a splendid villager」

Surely Vanessa was gifted with the skill Serious Breaker E disheartened resolved herself to use the final option

Like that they advanced forward, passed through several doors, and before long the two of thee with a ay in it It seeround from the research facility and came out to the water purification facility

They passed a place that had several things that seemed to be pipe and tank lined up, then the two of them put their hand on the door in front of them Vanessa made Emily to back ahile she entered inside the room

That room seemed to be a room where under the floor holly dedicated to be a water tank Half of the room was used to placed machineries, while at the other side of the fence beca place

Perhaps this was a place to te froht now, so under the floor was fierce water current that was flowing toward so room, so they could see a stair that continued to upper floor, a passage, and then a door The door of the second floor was located at the southern end of the rooe that connected both doors

Eaze toward the door of that second floor――

「Ah, teache――」

「Doctor Grant-」

There was a flapping lab coat It was clear whose coat it was Eure had vanished to the other side of the door However, Vanessa pulled Ean- a loud voice entered their ears So fell behind Eone through When they looked back in surprise, there was a large rectangle case the size of a Boston bag there It was the other thing that Down carried along with a leather bag when he escaped It see when Emily and Vanessa entered the room

The sound batan- of the door at the second floor closing resounded

At that moment,

「「「「「KIIIIIIIIIIIII-」」」」」

Such cries struck the two's eardrums, at the same time, the case bloated up from inside and it was destroyed It seeh in the first place, the cracks spread in the blink of eye and the clasp snapped

Instantly, so leaped out and attacked Emily and Vanessa Vanessa covered Emily behind her while she fired

However, that creature's speed wasn't norular, and so the bullet Vanessa fired missed

That creature kicked on the floor and leaped toward the face right away, however Vanessa only narrowed her eyes quietly without even any agitation Her long leg kicked up vertically to deal with it

go- The thing was kicked up together with the vivid sound of bone breaking, it then twirled midair while it then crashed on the floor some distance away

「That is……athat case's size, it seems that before this it was an infant monkey」

A bullet struck the infant monkey in a flash when it slowly stood up The moment it raised its face, a splendid headshot finished the berserker animal――Berserker Monkey, and like that it crumbled down and white smoke rose frouard down The reason was the existences that spread out to surround the two of them――the Berserker Monkeys still nue」

「……Indeed Doctor Grant Please back down slowly until the wall Toward that gap between theof Emily's mutter and she increased her cautiousness to h to make herself to be a shield

Yes, they had the leeway to back away The berserkers that should rush ahead following their instinct were taking a fixed distance fro the situation, or they were being careful

Actually these Berserker Monkeys had wariness toward danger instilled inside the experiment It was an experiment to make berserkers that would only rush forward foolhardily would cope to a certain degree toward firearunshot, those conditions along with the awareness that "so" at the same time were planted into them

It could be seen whether the experiment failed or not fro Vanessa and Emily, their wariness was plain to see, however they also didn't retreat due to their instinctual belligerence or their desire to eat

Vanessa ap between a h to say that she didn't give a damn to that wariness

However, the berserker monkeys who tried all they could to not stand in front of the gunline by the tier was pulled

「So thisthe drug into weapon is advancing steadily isn't it」

Even an expert et easily in front of the berserker th by using their beastly agility

gachin- Such sound rang out and the gun's chamber was fixed in place still in a slid-out position It ran out of bullet

As though ai for that moment, the berserker monkeys went out in attack sier――was how it seeent of the security bureau isn't so soft that they can be taken off guard by the likes of monkey」

That muttered words were the truth Vanessa's hand thrust out s monkeys, and the moment that hand made contact, the monkey was bloay to another direction

And then Vanessa stepped forithout pause and threw the eazine he had taken out A berserkerfrom the left was checked with that before Vanessa crouched doiftly and launched a fierce upper roundhouse kick

By crouching down, the berserker et and it sailed over above Vanessa's head, the monkey that leaped fro froot bloay

The left berserkerwith time difference Vanessa had recovered her posture by that time and she thrust out her arm once more

The berserker monkey opened its mouth with a shriek kiiii-, however, at the next moment, the moment felt a faint touch on its arm but at the same time its field of vision reversed up-down and it fell into panic When it noticed, it received a severe i

And then, a gun er instilled into it ordered to evaded but――too slow pan- A light sound rang, and with it a wind hole opened in the berserker monkey's forehead

The berserker monkey that was the first to be bloay to another direction was going along the ceiling and assaulted from overhead

But, as expected it couldn't reach A hand that thrust out with a flowing h in a caress, and the next moment it was forced into a backflip with fierce momentum Even the physical ability of ot crashed on the ground It then met the same fate with the previous monkey

Without even any time to wake up, a shot to the head splattered its brain

The last round to bite at Vanessa's leg In a moment, a knee fell down Perhaps because of its instinct, the berserker rasped

Its wrist isted and its joint was instantly locked For a berserker that didn't feel pain, it was possible for it to shake off the hold without balking at getting a broken bone, but even so for a fewthe limit of its body mobility And then, the berserk ravity were directed at that instant and it quickly got pressed doith its face pressing on the floor

A knee fell on its back to stop it froht point was pressed, it had no rooiven the chance to even struggle gorit- The gun muzzle pressed on the back of its head fired its bullet with no hesitation

「With this it's all of the

What she used was technique of jujitsu and aikido Vanessa's body was that of a female No matter how much she tried to deny, it was a fact that her pure physical strength was inferior to male That hy she polished nuoes far'

What about powerful offensive ability? A single bullet would serve for that purpose No ainst a monster, she could knock them down unquestionably if only one of her hand could touch theer

This was the strength of Vanessa as said to be at the top level in close-quarter coed under the security bureau Even though recently she was called as Danessa a lot, but her strength was the real thing

――That was exactly the reason, he created this moment because he didn't underestimate the people of the security bureau by any means The ent, protect her if you can」

「-, Doctor Grant!」

Unnoticed, Down's face peeked out fro ――Toward none other than Eh she was flying It was at the sa consecutively Vanessa's body jerked Fresh blood scattered in a splat and dirtied Eaa, a」

「Vanessa-」

Vanessa crashed on the ground and rolled several tiht away, yet the is made her unable to breath well, and she could only crouch froh her whole body where she was unable to ed rushed to her She made Vanessa to face up and e froh, but Eot shot the first Even while panicking, Emily took off the suit's jacket and took a look There she saw four bullets squashed inside a bulletproof vest that blocked those bullets

It seeh, putting aside the gunshot wound in her arh was at the level that couldn't be left alone Most likely an iood in soet a headshot I wonder?」

Footsteps rang while Down advanced on the upper passage of the second floor He stopped at theat the defeated berserkerthat could be felt fro a person or aily froht noasn't the time to complain Emily took out a container that looked like an experiment vial from her breast pocket She opened the lid andbit by bit at the wounds

I out like river was clearly lessening Vanessa's pained breathing was also recovering its regularity slightly

「……My god Emily Emily, by any chance, you have improved Berserk in this short time? Or else, is that a product of an idea that you don't tell to anyone even to eous」

Down's eyes were shining o recovery ability that was ih, his deduction was co medicine of another world that Kousuke handed to her in preparation of the worst case As expected, its effect couldn't give a co inside the body were taken out, but it was able to at least stop the bleeding coree

Vanessa didn't look like she could move properly, even so she conveyed that she was okay with her gaze Eaze struck at Doas looking down at thee that couldn't be hidden elling there

「Teacher You shot at ht However, I want you to notto kill you there For a researcher like ent, I have no other what than that」

Doho thought that he wouldn't be able to shake off the pursuit froy that used berserker uard, and then he shot at Ee or counterattack

In other words, because he had no confidence that he would be able to snipe Vanessa, he did it in a way so Vanessa herself would be the one that entered his line of fire

Although, that didn't change that Emily was in his line of fire If Vanessa didn't make it in time then there was no proof that Emily would be safe

「But, it's fine in its oy even if I got shot Isn't that right?」

「……I didn't want you to die is a fact」

It seemed that it would be fine if she was just alive But even that was suspicious if it was true or not in this situation

「Teacher, please tell me your motive I caless, and nothing that I have lost will co Teacher-, this five years that you spend within it? Do wethat you want to obtain even by betraying all of us, just what in the world is it?」

That question was said cal to vomit blood

Weren't they a family? Wasn't he saved her when she was cornered? Didn't he love her? The five years they had spent together since that day, when she elcoht, that he could easily betray and abandon theaze toward Emily was cal his gun without letting his guard down And then, he answered

「What I want to obtain, is it? Indeed, it's a less question But, if you want to know that then I'll tell you You see, Emily, I merely want to leave behind my name in history」

「Leave behind naht Some people has their naeneration, I want to become that kind of human I want to stay behind in the reat character Do you understand?」

「For, for soht, you don't understand」

Perhaps, there was some kind of reason that left hi like that Perhaps there was no other way for hi io no ht were now splattered with mud and throay by Eer, or perhaps from frustration Down made a troubled s a human that doesn'tforgotten, or the hopelessness to vanish without leaving behind any proof of leaving」

「Such thing-, that kind of thing- There is no way that teacher is, a person who doesn't matter whether you exist or not! Just who in the world can forget you!? Me!? My seniors!? Lizzi-nee!? Everyone of Down classroo will happen! Aren't ho have received your teaching-, the proof of your life!?」

A screa reverberated But, even those words only ave a troubled s like that Eht? I want to leave ood with only the personallike that, cannot erase this terror, this despair, this e, they didn't go through E Down's eyes

Just what in the world was driving him until like this? Einald Doas born in an average faraduated the university with excellent result, he entered the path of researcher, encountered his wife, became a lecturer, his wife died from a sickness, he welcomed distressed students, and sent out a lot of excellent disciples to the outside world Emily heard such story from Down

Was there any factor somewhere in that life that drove hiuess that's how it is for you Even if other people can understand, but Emily, you surely cannot understand it」

「Why, do you say that?」

「Because, you are a genius」

「Eh?」

Eenius That hy it was iinald Down for eternity

E that stateh her whole self was denied Eht her that such thing was irrelevant was none other than Down But now he discarded Eenius

「You won't understand the feeling of a enius That what someone can achieve, it's decided by the ability that person is provided with from the start」

「But, but teacher, you are an excellent educator even throughout the university, even the other professors respected teacher――」

「That's because I'm a mediocre person Because I'm mediocre, I understand just what it is that someone doesn't understand I understand what need to be done so they can understand I have been kept searching, that's why I understand what other people search I understand what makes anyone happy, and what I need to do to push the back of other That's because all of those were also paths that I hed deeply and he looked at so his words that sounded like he was talking to hieniuses are clearing over all those efforts easily When I thought of one idea, they will already create a hundred ideas and produced result Just how much e that they don't understand」

Surely as reflected inside his eyes, were the figure of his students ere already graduated and got recognized in society

Emily didn't understand Every tiazine, he would h it was about hi?

Was he actually boiling with emotion of hatred and jealousy, that he should be the one that got praised, that he should be the one that was granted with glory?

「Even so, they would speak that I a all of the ave h with this」

His affection was the real thing His feeling of wanting to becoth was true Even if he couldn't stand at the front stage, but Doas able to ratitude of his students somehow diverted Down from his dirty vanity that should be called as a deep-rooted delusion

「Then, why?」

「Isn't that obvious? That was because Berserk was created」

A hitch leaked out from Emily's mouth

「Berserk, was?」

「Yes, Berserk Eenius That is athat is not huht It's a miracle! Just how much application can be found from it if it's continued to be researched! The result is clear! It will be a revolution of the world!」

「Te, teacher……」

Down put one hand on his teure was truly abnorentle Down inside Ereat exploit that will leave the name in history! All those results left behind by all my students until now are just like trash in front of Berserk! You will become a historical character! And I am the father of that! I will leave my name as the father of revolution! Do you understand!? ――No, surely you don't understand That's why, in front of this erous so let's destroy it』-」

「-」

pan- With a dry sound, the floor nearby Emily burst open The excited Down unconsciously shot Doent 'hah' at the bursting sound he entle sot flustered at that time No matter how much I explained to you about the "possibility" of Berserk, you won't change your decision to destroy it If I tried too hard at persuading you, I'll lose your trust andas "father" There also wasn't any leeway timewise After all I didn't knohen you will erase the data」

「That hy, you took it out?」

「That's right There is my disciple at the leadership of Gamma Pharmaceutical, and I relied on hiht that it would be an underworld organization that has this kind of facility though I thought it was the will of heaven Finally, the time to be rewarded has come even to this me who continued to only perforo that easily No , he was unable to create the antidote The research about Berserk's use as weapon was producing data and application ree, but the plan of Kaysis and others to scatter Berserk the to an i with the application too, he was unable at all to create so"

Noto create those

Yes, he lacked the existence of Emily Grant as the creator

「The first incident, those police officers, and then agent Warren too, they were all people under Kaysis Isn't that right? Everything was all to corner me and direct me so I could only rely on teacher In order to make me research and develop Berserk bywell until the s Whether it's the security bureau, and also Rod and Dennis too」

pakit- There was the sound of so snapped It ca i and then broke

Scenes were resurrected in her et

――Milo-oniichan died He was ran over by a berserker, as though he got hit by a truck

――Sam-oniichan died He was reduced into a berserker in the end

――Jessica-oneechan died Her neck was snapped by the gentle Saetting transformed into berserker, he shot his own head

――Rod-oniichan died While he was apologizing 'sorry"

And then,

――Hendricks-oniichan died In order to protect Eht of him as her real older brother He was slow in soentle, a person that was like a pleasant breeze There wasn't anyone that could ease the heart by being at their side like him

――Lizzie-nee died In order to hide Emily She made herself as a bait

She was someone Emily idolized Sometimes she wasn't honest, but there wasn't any other woentle and lovely like her She saw a dreaetting wedded with each other, s with happiness

She believed

That everyone in Down classrooht

All of those――

「So it was I, that pulled the trigger」

「Haze from Doho tilted his head and she slowly stood up Vanessa called at Emily with a small voice that was still pained, but Ely and averted her eyes from her

「Do, Doctor, Grant- You, cannot That's-」

「I'm sorry, Vanessa」

Vanessa couldn't hope for a co inside her body Her internal organs that received four shots, although the bleeding could be stopped, but her broken bones still weren't healed Therefore, it was the best she could do to reach out her hand that was trerasp, at Eunup Emily once more

「If possible, I don't want to kill you Even what happened at Hendricks and others was just an unfortunate accident, it wasn't so that I wished for That's why, you obediently――」

「I, pulled your trigger」

Eure with her head hanging down looked really sorrowful Her worn-out lab coat seemed to be the representation of her heart

Down see of Emily's words and he tilted his head once more Emily continued her heavy and dark words toward him

「You, weren't simply a virtuous person Inside your heart, there wasthere all this tier than other people, a heart that is wishing for praise, were gnawing inside you」

「……」

「Everyone suppressed those down The many seniors, everyone of Down classrooer that you wanted to pull but you ed to hold back froht froht from the start Now you really said it, Emily」
