At around eleven o'clock in the evening, Katsu received a call from Yoshino.
Originally, it was agreed with Kotori that Ratatoskr had something to do and needed to summon the spirits, and Katsu and Shidou, who were closely related to the spirits, so everyone had to go back late at night, so Katsu stayed here for so long and didn't go back.
Now Yoshino calls, saying that she is scared at home alone and hopes to hear her brother's voice.
Katsu's heart suddenly ached; even if he knew that Yoshino was faking it, he still worried. His situation right now is not normal, but his love for every spirit didn't fade.
Maybe it even surges as he may do some extreme things if they are hurt.
He turned his head to look at Kurumi with a complicated expression.
So Kurumi smiled sympathetically and said, "It's okay, go back quickly."
"...Ah, thank you... Kurumi, by the way, the wedding..."
"Don't worry, we can wait until everything is settled."
"Well... Well, next time we meet, I'll give you the engagement ring."
"Then we'll just have to wait and see." Kurumi smiled lightly and kissed half of his lips, like the way she did in the past to restore their connection.
After that Katsu put on his clothes, take away a blood-stained white handkerchief, and jumped out of the window of the room, flying high into the sky.
As a result, while flying towards home, he suddenly frowned and looked in a certain direction. There, a beam of light like "Kamehame Wave" shot up into the sky---
Time goes back slightly to a few minutes ago.
In the swimming pool, when Shidou was on a date with Reine, the whole building suddenly shook violently.
Then, the ceiling moved, and several crooked human outlines could be vaguely seen outside.
So, amid the surprise and doubts of the Ratatoskrs and the spirits who were paying attention to the developments here.
Shidou suddenly chuckled as if possessed by a demon, and said loudly: "Hey, hey, you guys seem to be having a lot of fun destroying things. You were the first to start, so you must have been prepared, right?"
After saying this, Shidou stared at the countless humanoid dolls floating in the air.
Shidou spread his legs and stepped firmly on the ground, raised his hands and stretched them forward and put them together.
"Shidou... ? What are you doing?" After Reine asked with a puzzled look, Shidou glanced at Reine and snorted twice.
"Watch out." Then he gathered a beam of spiritual energy in his hand. Then he shouted. He shouted the name of the move.
"Secret! Instant. Flash. !!!"(Kamehameha)
With a sharp momentum like tearing silk, Shidou pushed both hands upward.
In an instant, an astonishing wave of spiritual power burst out from Shidou's palm.
Compared with Tohka's [Final Sword] and Origami's [Cannon Crown], the dense spiritual power torrent that was no less powerful completely penetrated the ceiling that was about to collapse, and in a moment, illuminated the night sky as bright as day. The dozens of humanoid dolls that seemed to be gathered above, Bandersnatch, had no time to escape due to the sudden attack and were scattered like fireworks.
… …
… …
"What..." Ellen stood on the high ground and looked around. She could see the mysterious facility located in the forest near Tengu City that detected the strange spiritual wave reaction. At this moment, she widened her eyes in astonishment.
However, that was only natural, because the twenty Bandersnatch advance units she sent to attack the facility were all destroyed by the mysterious rays released from the facility.
"─Destroy all of the Bandersnatch Team!"
"Wow... what an amazing spiritual power value!"
The operator's voice rang out over the IT communicator. Ellen frowned in indignation—but then changed her mind and snorted.
"...I see. It seems that this is not just a simple facility." She crossed her arms, and her armor made a clanging sound. Ellen was not wearing the coat she wore during the day, but the silver-white CR-Unit
Pendragon.
It was the strongest armor and sword made for the strongest wizard in the human race, Ellen. Wearing this battle robe, Ellen would be invincible, not to mention Shidou, who was not even a wizard.
She doesn't think he would be able to make her bow down to him without lifting a finger.
"..." As Ellen thought about this, she recalled her gaffe during the day. She tapped her elbow impatiently with her fingers and gave instructions to the humanoid dolls, Bandersnatch.
"Second team, get ready to go. I'll be on the field next. Pay attention to the anti-aircraft bombardment."
"Yes!" The operator's voice responded to what Ellen said. The humanoid dolls team standing behind Ellen raised their weapons and flew into the sky one by one.
However──at this moment...
"...!" A beam of light appeared in Ellen's vision, and then the heads of the three humanoid dolls, Bandersnatch, which had set off first, exploded and scattered in an instant.
"This is" Ellen murmured, and half-subconsciously reached for the hilt of the high-output lightsaber Sword on her back, then drew the sword, and while the magic power formed a light blade, she swung it down at the shadow that appeared in front of her. In an instant, a strong magic light emanated from the surroundings.
"Mana."
"As expected of Ellen, you won't be defeated by me so easily." After Ellen called out a certain name, the girl who appeared in front of her in an instant raised the corners of her mouth and jumped back.
It was a young girl with a ponytail. However, she was wearing a dark blue CR-U.
Mana Takamiya. Itsuka Shido's biological sister and the former second-ranked wizard in DEM. "I didn't expect you to show up."
"I heard that this is a serious matter concerning my brother, how can I just sit back and watch. Sorry, if I take action, I won't let you get what you want, Ellen." Mana said provocatively. So, Ellen frowned with displeasure.
"...You two siblings are really good at making me unhappy. At this point, saying this is useless. I should have killed you [back then]. I can't stand it. Ike's hobby is really annoying".
After Ellen finished speaking, Mana frowned in confusion.
"…At that time? What the hell are you talking about?"
"What do you think?"
"Hmph... Never mind. Anyway, I won't let you pass here." Mana said as she raised the sword in her right hand and pointed it at Ellen.
After a light snort, Ellen pointed the tip of her sword towards Mana in response.
