Absolute Duo Vol 5 Chapter 2
Rito was swinging
The reason why
Sometimes they would search for a chance from the opponent; sometimes they would attack like a storm to prevent the opponent to counter attack--------even if both sides suffered minor injuries, the attack that would decide whether if the battle would tilt to right of left wasn’t getting settled, making it seem like this exchange would last forever.
However----that time came.
Suddenly, something unexpected happened.
Rito slipped through the countless approaching light bullets and swung her circlet blade.
However,
He then spun his body mid-air and the moment he was about to randomly shoot his gun held by both his hands------
That was just a slight instant.
However, this this battle where abilities collide, a slight mistake is a critical hit.
Rito did not miss that moment.
“Gotcha!!”
The moment she shouted and was about to use her
Rito was the one who stopped this time.
(Wha……….!? Why are you there!?)
That’s because she saw a person-Kibitsu at the edge of her view.
Kibitsu who was unlucky to encounter their fight right when she was returning to the dorm from the school, was running south while hiding in the building shadows-----but, the battle zone moved as if they were chasing after her.
Rito decided to make some distance from the dorm and the research facility in the school as much as possible but, that turned out to be an opposite effect before she noticed.
*Dooooon*!! A light bullet hit Rito’s shoulder and exploded.
“Guuu!!”
A mistake was made by a slight disturbance in her concentration.
However, it’s a critical mistake that should not be shown in the middle of a fight.
Light bullet’s. .h.i.t Rito’s limbs, body, and face when she was groaning from the damage she received.
Although she increased her guard to avoid a critical hit, her back was slammed towards the lawn.
The part which the light bullets burst were burned and made her distort her face in pain------and the view she saw after she stood up even after all that, was
“This is bad……..!!”
Even though she tried to dodge by jumping away, since she was. .h.i.t by several light bullets, Rito is unable to use her normal speed and-----
After an instant, she was unable to dodge one of the 2 red beams and her side was gouged out.
Immediately, an explosion occurred behind her causing Rito to get blasted away by the impact.
“Sensei! Usa-sensei! Wake up, Usa-sensei!!”
The first thing that was shown in Rito’s view when she regained consciousness was Kibitsu looking at her face while tears were falling off her face.
(d.a.m.n it……..i can’t move my body…….no, more importantly-----)
“Id-iot……..hurry………get away……….”
Even when she told her that with that soft voice, she found out that it was too late when she saw a shadow standing behind Kibitsu.
“How unlucky, Tsukimi Rito. If this woman wasn’t here then, the results might have been the opposite but------You should know that accidents tend to occur in a fight too”
“Y-yeah………….it’s my loss…….that’s why, I don’t care about me……..but……..please……..let this one……..go…………”
“Fufu, forget begging for your own life, you are one wonderful woman to beg for your student’s safety by sacrificing yourself”
Kibitsu was looking at
Her trembling wouldn’t stop for this is the first time in her life where she saw a fake smile like that.
When she saw his gaze, she predicted that she won’t be saved unconsciously.
“But----“
Without losing his smile,
“Your will to only protect your student makes me feel sick”
His target- Kokonoe Tooru’s face was floated in his mind.
“That’s why, I can’t listen to that request”
“”-----!!””
Rito and Kibitsu gasped at the same time because of the meaning those words point to.
“Fufu, what nice expressions……….but, I am not a demon. I will let you two go friendly together. I will then take your corpses to him------to Kokonoe Tooru!!”
That demonic smile that can be taken as joy was stuck to his face and
“St-op……….stop-----!!”
Even though she tried to stop him, forget trying to cover Kibitsu, Rito couldn’t even move one arm.
Rito wished.
For someone to help.
She has never prayed to G.o.d before so this was her first wish.
And that wish----reached.
The wind was sliced and a white blade was flying towards
The moment the red blade that was about to get swung down, got flicked away-----
“Ooooooooooooooohhhh!!”
A roar came above together with a fist.
He grasped the intruder’s appearance and his sharp eyes slightly opened wider.
“Fu…………fufu, hahahahaha!!”
Next,
“You’ve come----Kokonoe Tooru!! Hahahahaha!!”
Part 2
We made it at the nick of time.
If we were even a second late then, the results would probably different.
While feeling cautious at
“Are you okay, Tsukimi, Kibitsu!”
“Kokonoe-kun……sensei, sensei is……!”
“-----! Tsukimi, those wounds……!!”
“Yoo…………..here you are taking the nice part………”
Tsukimi opened her eyes weakly.
I did not notice because I was desperate to protect them when I was running over here but, now that I take a good look, Tsukimi has suffered grave injuries.
Her sides were especially serious because it was gauged out.
Luckily or unluckily, the part gouged out was burned so, the blood flowing out isn’t that serious.
Nonetheless, it’s no mistake that her survival would be determined by our urgent attention to the wound.
“Sorry huh……….i said leave it to me, but, I ended up like this……….”
“Is this even the time to say that! Stop talking, it’s bad for your wound!!”
“Kuhah………..i never would have thought that you would worry about me…………..now that’s a shocking story……..”
“Stop talking already. More importantly, we have to tend to your wounds………”
Those were words Tsukimi said maybe because she was aiming for our lives but, now I recognize her as a comrade that has been gone through days together.
“Kibitsu, can you stand?”
Kibitsu swung her head sideways at my question.
“So-sorry…………I can’t pour any strength into my knees………..”
If possible, I wanted her to bring Tsukimi to the medical building but, it can’t be helped since it was right after she tasted the fear of death.
Which means, I have to leave this to Julie or Tora------
“Fuun, I will take this woman. That’s why I’ll leave Tooru’s support to you, Julie”
“Ya----. I understand.
He probably read my thoughts.
Killing his own will to fight together with us, Tora prioritized my need to save Tsukimi.
“Tora………”
“This woman’s condition requires immediate action. That’s why, I picked the fastest route”
“Sorry, Tora”
“Fuun, I am used to it. I’ve been with you for a long time after all”
After saying that, Tora added a [It really is ironic that I will be saving this woman in the first place huh] before carrying Tsukimi and gave Kibitsu a piggy back.
“O-i…….don’t you dare die………
With a weak voice, Tsukimi opened her mouth.
“Yeah, I won’t die. So, don’t go dying on me”
“Ku-hah…………..ill weeds grow apace……….”
While distorting her face in pain, Tsukimi gave a thumbs up and lifted the side of her mouth.
Tora started running and left the place.
In exchange with the dispersing footsteps, a disgusting laugh echoed in the place.
“Kuku, kuku, hahahaha. Is it okay if we end the drama farce already?”
“You sure are carefree to wait without doing anything”
I did not lower my cautiousness since I was wondering when he would attack but, there were no signs of him doing so.
Of course, that might be some kind of plan------
“Fufu. I was just thinking that you reuniting with their cold corpse would be more impactful”
The color of truth could be seen in
Even though I don’t know what kind of reason he has, this man has a strong attachment of hatred towards me and is seeking a more tragic end.
“And Julie=Sigtuna. As the
“………………your wish will never be granted. That’s because, Tooru-----“
“Yeah, I will not die. That’s because I vowed to protect Julie, everyone and myself!!”
I followed after Julie’s words and shouted at
“Let’s end this,
“Fu,hahahahaha! Roar as much as you want, resist if you want!! Just wait till the moment I destroy your
What awaits; is the clash of our
“He’s coming, Julie! Be careful!!”
“Ja---!!”
Red light was emitted from the wing behind
Suddenly, he Burst Attackcharged at us with a speed far exceeding our reactions even though we were cautious.
“Guh!!”
*Kakiiiin*!! Even though I blocked it immediately with my
But,
Julie jumped aside and dodged with a paper thin difference-------was what I thought but, the red blade slightly caught her uniform.
“Julie……….!!”
“………..Nai, It’s just my clothes”
While keeping
The attack only grazed her clothes and not wound her.
It’s not even a wound that might affect the battle.
However, i------we felt shock at
“What speed………….!”
That charge which was so fast that even the
“Fufu, those are nice expressions you two are showing there”
“That was a wonderful acceleration right? This one of the abilities of the
“Is something from that
*Smile*
“That’s something I will do if you can last to the end while being burdened!!”
(-----!! s.h.i.t!!)
Because there’s a difference in
With the initial attack, he found out that there is a difference in reaction speed by seeing the Julie behind me fails to dodge his attack.
“Julie!!”
The moment I was about to warn her,
Julie used her 2 blades to defend against the attacking 2 blades. The attack released at the same time clashed at the same time,
However, she did not come out unharmed and it turned out like the first time-----no, it’s slightly deeper.
The tip of his blade slightly cut her skin this time and blood splashed out at the night sky.
“It’s just a scratch……..!”
Even though the silver girl frowned in pain, she stopped me from approaching her with her hand.
Once again,
“Kuh, how cowardly………!”
“In a battle, attacking the opponent’s weak point is a standard measure! You’re the fool for bringing someone weaker into the battle!!”
While making a scornful smile, it was clear what
He’s probably trying to limit my range of tactics by immobilizing Julie first.
(d.a.m.n……………..!!)
“Tooru!!”
Even though Julie told me to stop, I did not bother and moved to protect her.
But----it was a trap.
I was suddenly targeted and could not make it in time to guard the approaching red blade.
Even when I twisted my body, a straight side slash ran on my chest.
“-----Guh!!”
A scorching pain ran on the part of my sliced chest-------no, it was really scorched.
The glowing red blade holds burning properties and it can burn and slice the flesh at the same time.
However, I mustn’t worry about that.
I turned around to find
“Up, Tooru!!”
When I looked up after listening to the warning,
And back at the same direction, a strong attack was approaching me from behind because I turned away.
No matter how transcended I am from humans, I am still fundamentally humans-----that’s why i will be an instant late to handle impossible movements.
That instant might be fatal but, this is a battle between people who transcended humans.
(No good, I can’t dodge this………!!)
Dodging or blocking is normal here and, the timing for me to activate the
The moment I thought I was going to get killed-----
*Giiin* a silver light came between me and
She protected my back-----just like what she said, Julie deflected the red blade with her
“Hahahaha, I never would have thought that the burden will be the one blocking!!”
With his attack defended,
Looking at that, I understood that the
The girl glared at the winged man who was laughing loudly in the sky, and shouted
“You are free to call me a burden. But, I will still protect Tooru’s back!”
“Thanks for those strong words, Julie. But, I don’t think Julie as a burden at all. Rather, I think of you as my irreplaceable and trustworthy
“Ja---, thank you very much”
Without looking away from the enemy, I showed a small smile to the silver girl.
Yes, I am able to exist now thanks to her being here.
If not for my
However,
“Fufuu, what a wonderful bond………that’s why it’s worth breaking!!”
I blocked his blade and swung my fist upwards at the same time to cut through the sky.
Whenever
His strategy of hit and run is a really annoying move to us uses close-combat as our main style.
“Kuh……….it doesn’t feel like fighting a human….!!”
Gaining the weapon
Of course for the high speed flying charge; the sudden descend, sharp maneuvering, and the somersault which I was almost killed by, makes it feel like we are fighting a war machine with a human form.
“It’s true but------“
A high speed hit and run attack.
“Hahahaha, what’s wrong!? I had more of a hard time with Tsukimi Rito!”
Without losing his momentum,
“I am almost used to it”
The same time the red blade lightly sc.r.a.pes her shoulders, Julie performed a counter and the tip of her blade sc.r.a.ped the
“Nice moves for someone who has inferior physicality!”
With the tip of his shoulders touched,
“N-no, don’t mind it. More importantly, how is your wounds……….?”
“I am okay”
After saying that, Julie lightly moved her shoulders.
While looking at her, I recalled back the counter she performed just now.
(She’s amazing……….)
Conclusively, the attack ended in clear failure due to her unable to damage him and got lightly wounded.
However, I could only feel shock at Julie’s senses she displayed during the middle of the fight.
Seeing through the attacks trajectory by increasing her concentration and counter him------putting it into words is easy but, repeating the attack regularly does not work on
In that small amount of time, she responded to movements she has not confronted before and a countered an attack that has hidden distinction between left and right with feints mixed into it; that’s extremely hard even for me, who am higher in
Being able to do that means, she has polished her skill through overcoming this battle of death.
However, it was bad that she did not end it with that attack, it’s clear that
“Fufu, you really are wonderful to fill in the deference of physical ability with concentration. I take back calling you a burden-----but, because of that, I have to judge you as dangerous!”
The light blade disappeared from
“I’ll slow down your movements and slowly kill you!!”
“----!! Julie!!”
Feeling cautious at the same time, Julie and I separated to left and right------
The spot we were standing just now got blasted by several lights that could be described as light bullets.
“d.a.m.n it, it can turn to a gun too!!”
I predicted this to some point but, I still said it regardless.
It’s the prediction when I saw the 2 beams shooting down from the sky, when we were in front of the dorm.
But, judging by the huge explosion at that time, which was strong enough to form a crater, he might be saving at least one more of the < destructionwings of="" death="">>’s weapon at least; what’s more, it’s probably one that has tremendous power.
“Hahahaha, run around pathetically now!”
He was one-sidedly attacking from 10 meters above.
Unlike what happened until now, he would not come even for an instant close so we have no choice but to defend since we cannot counter him.
Our attacks might reach him if we jump but, as long as he is able to fly, he could easily dodge it and we might end up being targeted instead. There’s throwing our weapon at him but, we would probably lose a way to attack if we miss him.
Even though I was thinking that we have to do something about this, I have no choice but to direct my conscious to the unstopping attack and could not get any time to think.
“Not bad enduring but-----can you block this!?”
The 2 guns were shooting light bullets at us separately until now but------
He pointed those muzzles only at me.
“------! c.r.a.p…….!!”
I blocked countless light bullets with my
The light bullets exploded at my
Immediately after, countless more light bullets poured down since I was no longer allowed to move from the spot.
“
I judged that I could not block it and activated a barrier.
Countless explosions occurred when the barrier was touched------and after all of it were disposed,
“Fufu, it was really in my mind since the previous battle but, it really is quite the annoyance when you use it now that I see it again”
“
I erased the barrier and said it while thrusting my fist at
“You’re annoying as usual huh…………..by the way, I want to return back to the topic of your ability but, I found several interesting points”
“--------!?”
My heart jumped.
I was taken back with the thought “No way” because he saw through
“First off, you can’t use it immediately. You did not use it when I performed a Loop Attacksomersault attack and Julie Sigtuna had to come in between us; I can gain that possibility through seeing that”
“…………….”
He’s half correct. There’s a slight time lag when I activate the barrier with my mind.
Just like the battle before, I had to use it when I know bullet was being shot at me------basically, It’s the feeling of deploying it through prediction.
The other activation method is that I have to point my hand at the target even though the barrier can be created in an instant. That’s why; I can’t make it in time for sneak attacks like the one just now.
“For the final number 3------this is still a speculation so, I’ll leave that for later……..oops, being quiet is the same as admitting that I am correct, Kokonoe Tooru”
“Kuh…..!”
Regretfully, I can’t handle this kind of mental attack.
(Calm down. It’s not like the
Even though I was gritting my teeth in the surface, I was thinking of a plan to attack
(Our attacks can’t reach. Julie can throw her
It’s simple but, one plan came up.
Can that even be called a plan? It’s something so simple that even I don’t know.
“Julie!!”
I called out to the silver girl, and moved my sights to a certain object-----before running straight at it.
Julie understood my plan through my sights and ran too.
“Fumu, looks like you thought of something but----I won’t let you!!”
Towards our goal------the moment we reached a tree, Julie’s
A trunk was cut off from the tree.
I carried the tree-----
And, threw it at
“Wha…….!?”
The simplest of actions called throwing.
But, the power of the
I threw a tree which was at a size impossible for a normal person to carry right at
“What a stupid move!!”
Explosions occurred one after another when light bullets. .h.i.t the target, and
I looked at that while pulling out the root and threw it at him again.
“How annoying! Did you seriously think that such attack would hit!!”
“Nope, never thought of that. Even if it hits, you won’t receive any damage because of the
“A dead angle was formed due to the explosion of the tree……..!”
“-----!!”
His timing of noticing Julie was slightly slower for him to shoot her down.
He would make it in time to guard but, it’s okay.
Even if
……………..but,
“Sad for you. It’s the reversal of attack and defense with this”
“Okay then, I’ll have you keep quiet here”
Her body got blown away just like that; he then turned the < destructionwings of="" death="">> back to a gun and aimed at her.
In the sky without any foothold, there’s no way for her to dodge. Julie has knocked down several light bullets in this fight but, it’s only limited to the explosions from the recoil.
“Julie------!!”
The moment he pulled the trigger.
I ran towards Julie while activating the
But, she was still outside the barrier’s radius.
I formed the
Naturally, as long as this is my own ability, I have already considered that event-------instead of protecting Julie, I deployed the
The barrier that can sever any attacks also has the same effect inside.
Because of that, the countless light bullets
“……….looks like you mastered it quite a bit but-----I will now ask you regarding the 3rd interesting point”
Without showing any care that he was obstructed by the barrier,
“Can the so-called
(-------!! He thought of it as one possibility!!)
I can only deploy the
If I deploy the barrier to protect myself then, I will naturally end up forsaking Julie.
“Looks like you can’t”
While shooting light bullets towards Julie,
He fixed one of the guns at me.
“Kuh……!!”
I noticed something at that moment.
I saw light concentrating at the muzzle which was different from when he fires light bullet.
Immediately, what appeared in my mind, was scene of the explosion I saw far away from the dorm and the beam that was fired at that moment------
(c.r.a.p………!!)
The beam of red light was fired at the same time I immediately jumped away.
The beam drilled into the ground------and caused an explosion after a slight delay.
Luckily, I was safe from a direct hit thanks to my fast reaction.
Within the blast, I looked up to the sky after falling on the ground and ended up kneeling down------I saw the gun that was pointed at Julie just now, was now pointed at me.
“Sever the fang----
I can make a new barrier since the attack towards Julie stopped.
The 2nd red light beams. .h.i.t the barrier with full intentions to pierce through.
“Kuh………..what fire power………….!!”
*PIshiii* a high-pitch sound appeared and a crack was formed on the barrier.
Immediately after, the
With the barrier destroyed, I could not block all the energy and ended up getting blown away by the after-wave.
Even when I collapsed on the ground, I stood up immediately in alert for another attack and looked up at the sky but------
“Eh…………!?”
“Tooru, in front!!”
Julie’s warning came flying but, I turned unguarded when I lost sight of
The
“Toooooruuuuuuuuu!!”
My name echoed into the night sky with a painful shout.
“Ku-kuku, hahahaha. Finally, Kokonoe Tooru……..! With your death, I can make Julie Sigtuna witness the death of someone precious and carve a wound that will corrode her heart for eternity…….!!”
In front of his expression and his words, i------
“Ah……huh, ah……….”
My body trembled from the scorching pain.
With my trembling hands, and numbing fingers, I grabbed the arm
But my movements stopped because of the hot substance rising from the depth of my throat.
“Gah, kahah………….!”
I could not breath for a while, making me cough out red blood that tasted like iron rust.
*Splash*,
“Fu, fufu, hahahahahaha, Haa---hahahaha!!”
Even though he was doing it right in front of me-----his laugh felt somewhat distant.
My consciousness was cut off.
“-------Ru! Tooru! Tooru!!”
When I opened my eyes, Julie was spilling tears while calling my name.
“……..Ju-lie……….?”
Her Ruby eyesred eyes opened wide after calling my name like she was squeezing it out.
“Tooru!!”
(……………Why are you crying?)
My memories won’t stabilize.
Why-------
My question won’t get answered.
I was having hard time breathing, and my thoughts won’t get in order.
My view was blurry-----
And my consciousness was fading.
(No good……….i have to stay conscious……..or else………)
Julie will remain sad if I don’t open my eyes.
Although I know that------
My consciousness fell deeper into the darkness.
“Tooooooooooru!”
………..--------------------!!”
A sound echoed in the darkness.
That’s----a voice.
A laugh.
Someone was laughing.
When I realized that, I started waking up.
(Who……..?)
Even when I opened my eyes, my view was blurry like my thoughts and I could not find out who the voice belongs to.
At that moment, I saw something silver swaying right beside me, other than the laugh.
Silver BlondeSilver hair -----
It’s Julie, my
After my consciousness cleared up, the scene shown in my eyes turned clear too-------
I gasped.
Julie was consciously the same word over and over again.
“Tooru, Tooru, Tooru, Tooru, Tooru, Tooru, Tooru, Tooru, Tooru……………”
(What’s wrong Julie………..why are you making that face………..)
I could see nothing was shown in her wide opened Ruby eyesred eyes.
I then noticed something.
I noticed the existence of a man laughing loudly while looking down at Julie.
(-----
The
(Oh yeah…….I was…….!)
My memories came back when I saw
The memories of us fighting against
The memories of
I don’t know for how long but, it seems that I lost consciousness.
Julie probably received tremendous shock seeing me like that.
That’s because she mixed the scene with her father’s t death.
“………..Ju……….e…………….”
My voice won’t come out.
My body won’t move.
Julie was continuously calling my name not even 1 meter away-----
Suddenly, she stopped.
(Ju-lie…….?)
The silver girl slowly looked up at the empty sky-----and mumbled.
“Won’t……..forgive………never……………”
And from the silver girl-------
A sound started screeching.
*Ki………..iii……………iiiiiiiiii……………….iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii--------!!*
A high-pitch sound that would make anyone cover their ears, echoed.
(This sound…………it’s that times-------)
Yes, this is the sound I heard when we fought
“I will never………….I will never……….! I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU……..!!”
*Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii------------!!*
The shout of hatred mixed with the sound being produced from Julie’s body.
“Aa……………A-ah……….AaaaaaaaAAAaaaAAAAAaaaAAAA----------!!”
*Bikiiiiiiiiiiiin*!!
Together with the sound of chains torn into pieces, Julie shouted.
She did so like a wolf howling while looking up at the sky.
The sound then disappeared.
Forget the high-pitch sound, even
Julie slowly stood up in an unbalance manner.
“……..do you call this a battle for revenge? But, I am not interested in going through that though-----“
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA------------!!”
Julie howl interrupted
Next,

In replacement for the answer, Julie jumped at

However, he was unable to completely dodge it and ended up leaving a cut on his cheek. “Kuh, this is….!?”
Julie attacked
Even if
With a distance formed, the wind brushed Julie’s Silver BlondeSilver hair as she rushed towards
To me, it looked like a silver wolf hunting its prey.
“I don’t know what you are hiding but, I will have you stay quiet here!!”
The
He pulled the trigger at the silver wolf- Julie with its fangs out.
Countless light bullets attacked instead.
(She can’t dodge that…….!!)
It’s still okay if she focused on dodging by running around like just now; but as long as she’s charging right into the light bullets, she has no other options but to hit down all the bullets with her
Even with that move, it’s probably still impossible to block all of them------
But, Julie dodged it.
Without allowing even one bullet landing on her, she dodged through the meteor storm of light bullets, and reached the range for her
“I-impossible…….!?”
With all the light bullets dodged,
However, he still was able to block the storm of slashes by changing
1, 2, 3 attacks-----
But-----Julie, who currently was bringing forth a
“Guh, kuh…….no way, I am being pressured…….!!”
In front of that overwhelming strength, the teenager that was laughing loudly, distorted his face and looked anxious.
“AaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!”
Julie accelerated even more and swung her sword with the howl of a beast-----
His iron defense was getting destroyed.
He could not make it in time to defend; the blade of the
“Da-mn you!!”
It wasn’t a strategy, it just plainly because he was completely overpowered.
Red light was emitted out from the wing giving him the ability to make distance from Julie by flying to the sky.
By running to a position where her fangs won’t reach, the silver girl that resembles a silver wolf, glared at
“Fufuu, to think that you were hiding such a
He probably thinks I am dead.
My
After
“How regretful it is, Julie Sigtuna. Kokonoe Tooru wouldn’t be dead if you brought out that
“Uu………”
Julie groaned.
No, it’s different.
“UuuAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA------!!”
I knew she howled.
Words won’t reach Julie now.
The groan just now was not meant for his words but rather it was because she was p.i.s.sed that
That’s why Julie roared, because she chose to move instead.
Which means-----she’s jumping.
She bent her knees, lowered her body, *glared* at her target-----and kicked the ground.
“How foolish! Have you forgotten that the sky is my territory!!”
It’s just as he says. Unlike
He pulled the trigger and shot several light bullets.
Naturally, the number was lower compared to when he had two guns but, Julie cannot perform her G.o.d-like dodging skill like what she displayed just now because there’s no foothold for her in the sky.
She will get shot down.
After the instant I thought that----Julie kicked the air.
“Wha……..!?”
I, and
However, Julie unmistakably kicked the air and dodged the incoming light bullets before----
She kicked the air again.
“Impossible!? You----“
She changed the angle and approached
“What are you----Julie Sigtuna!!”
While shouting,
And-----
*Gikiiiinn*!! She slashed upwards diagonally and knocked his gun upwards-----
Next off, the left sword made the same path like the first attack and cut the
The silver girl danced in the moon light and splashed the sky in red.
I thought that scene looked magical even though we were in a fight.
But, it all happened in one instant.
The seriously injured
At that moment, Julie a.s.saulted him as if she beat the
Dodging that attack by jumping behind,
(Please dodge, Julie-----!!)
My voiceless wish reached her.
The red beam pierced through the air Julie stood but, she already disappeared from the place and----
Her white sword destroyed the gun which was a cl.u.s.ter of metal.
His only hand left is to find a chance to fly to the sky and pray that Julie won’t chase him.
However, Julie who’s howling in anger will not allow any retreat.
At that moment, Julie unleased an endless attack which could be described as a storm of silver flash by kicking both the air and ground.
She does not look like human and looked like a wolf with silver fur instead.
Yes, Julie currently looked like a beast which had its shackles of chains released.
Right after the end of her endless attack,
Even though he avoided a critical wound thanks to the dense part of his armor, the battle has already concluded judging by the cuts formed everywhere in the
The only thing remaining was to finish him with her fangs to end the fight.
But-----
“No………Ju-lie……..”
I said it in the agonizing pain.
Of course, it won’t reach Julie if it doesn’t sound like my voice.
Even so, I repeated “No” one more time.
It’s because Julie was about to kill
Just like how Miyabi was when she was controlled by
(Please stop it, Julie……..!)
I thought this while looking at Julie standing in front of
Julie was angry for me, and was about to
Even though I understand that, I strongly wished.
If she let him go, he would probably come back to spread death like what happened in the previous battle.
That’s why, I also tried to kill
But even so, right now, I wish from the bottom of my heart that Julie would stop swinging her sword and to kill.
No, it isn’t limited to now.
I don’t want her small hand to be covered in blood in the upcoming future.
Even if the blood comes from her father’s killer she’s chasing.
My wish was contradicting.
It’s a contradiction that I don’t want a fellow
(I know this my egoism………! But even so----)
I squeezed out my remaining strength to move my body.
If
That’s why I have to stop the silver girl.
I supported my body with my trembling arm and looked up while making a wish.
(But even so----I don’t want Julie to kill anyone!!)
“Uu-oo…..oooooOOOOOOHH!!”
I stood up while roaring---and ran.
While running, I brought forth the
(Julie, I want to protect you………..! I want to protect your heart………!!)
Images of the silver girl that I acquainted with and pa.s.sed these 4 months with as her
The girl with Silver BlondeSilver hair, Ruby eyesred eyes, and Snow whitewhite skinhad little words to say, is lonely, wants to be pampered, she might be a little blank but, she’s really honest and is a girl that I want to protect more than anyone else.
That happy smile she made when we drank apple tea together----
I felt I might lose that smile……….
That’s why I ran.
While looking at the
“Julie’s----“
I stood in front of the silver girl and changed my wish to
“Sever Julie’s fang----
The

*Bakiiiiiiii*!! Our
“Why would you protect me!? Kokonoe Tooru-----!!”
Almost at the same time
But, it’s not over yet.
“U-Aaa-aaAaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA----!!”
Julie howled again and swung her remaining fang at me.
“Julie, enough……! It’s enough!!”
I stepped forth while shouting and hugged the small body of the silver girl.
“I am not dead! I am alive so you have no reason to kill this guy!! So please-----come back. Come back to the Julie I know……”
“Too…….ru…….?”
Together with my name coming out from her mouth, the
“Yeah, it’s me”
I nodded and patted Julie’s head.
Gently, on her silky Silver BlondeSilver hair.
“Tooru…….Tooru……..!”
Julie buried her face into my chest.
But----
The battle wasn’t over.
“Fu, fufu, hahaha………what a farce to show. On top of that, I never would have imagine that I would receive the humiliation of getting saved by you, Kokonoe Tooru…….!!”
While placing his hands on a tree further away,
“……….i don’t remember saving you. I only moved to stop Julie”
I let go off Julie and looked at
“No matter what reason you have, it’s fact that I was saved by you in the end. This is exactly what puking means!! That’s why I won’t forgive you! Even if it took this long to get saved, it’s already too late!!”
“Late? I don’t know what you are talking about but, what are you planning to do from now on? You still want to fight? You have no more weapons, and that
With many spots cut, sparks would sometimes appear on the

Forget even fighting,
I judge that by seeing him standing up with a staggering body and, the

*Hyuuuuiiii*………..together with the sound of a motor, the amount of red light concentrated at the muzzle which was incomparable to before.
“Doubled huh……….I know it’s one heck of power just hearing it but----“
It has the power far exceeding the Ether cannon which I could not block even with the
“Do you think you can easily hit us?”
There’s no way we can’t dodge it if we focused on dodging.
And all we have to do is to destroy the
However,
“No, you two can’t dodge it. You should be able to understand if you think where my gun is directed. It’s because you think of your friends a lot, Kokonoe Tooru……..!”
“-----!”
After saying that, I knew what
The muzzle was definitely aimed towards us.
But, 100 meters behind us----there’s the dorm.
Basically,
Of course, even if we try to destroy the gun, he would probably be faster to pull the trigger.
“Okay then, let’s go with a straight-on simple compet.i.tion of the
He knows that we can’t dodge and block so he went and said straight-on compet.i.tion; what a hypocrite.
“…………Okay, I’ll accept it like what you wanted. Julie, get away”
Thinking of the worst outcome, i asked the silver girl to get away to avoid dragging the her into this in concern but-----
“Nai, I refuse”
Julie swung her head sideways.
“Julie………..”
“Those who have bonded, must use their utmost ability to stay together---whether it’s through happiness or sadness or being healthy; until the day death separates us……….!”
That’s one line regarding the
I thought that one line was over exaggerated when I first looked at it but, just now, Julie said that line with the determination to be together with me.
“I am your
“Yeah, you’re right. This isn’t the end. That’s why I will protect you and live through this battle!!”
“Ja--. Please---protect me, Tooru”
“I will!!”
Julie grabbed my right hand tightly with her small hands.
Our strongly connected hands are the proof of our
After we nodded, we looked at the man that is about to fire the fangs of evil------and I thrust the

“Ja---!!”
As the target of our sights,
“………..my idea was to allow Julie Sigtuna to live and live in pain though”
“I have no interest in letting you succeed in that”
“Yes, it seems that is the case. I never would have thought you two would promise to protect each other in front of an absolute

“Then I will deny the

“This is the end, Kokonoe Tooru!! Julie Sigtuna!!”
The evil and hostile fang concentrated on the 2 guns was turned into a giant red light before fired.

I unleased all my remaining

I focused on one pot and deployed it there;
“Wha!? The barriers----are layered!?”
A 3 layered barrier was created to protect our life from the red fangs that
