Vol 3 Chapter 2 (1/2)
Chapter 2 - Mitsutomo Group
Anyhow, I need to understand the situation
I have to know the reason behind why this place is connected to Apocalypse Alice
”What on earth do you mean by?”
I start but do not get the time to finish
”Yaah yaah, yaah yaah”
I hear voices saying that I look in their direction Standing at the entrance that connects the corridor to this hall, is a rabbit
It's probably a rabbit conjured by my little sister Saki
A rabbit wearing a suit that has a heart mark finely woven into it
Why haven't I noticed that? Despite the fact that it veryin the illustrations of ”Alice in Wonderland” that Saki and I used to read
Despite the fact that Saki had appeared in my dream and talked to me
Even though it's unbelievable, this place is connected to my little sister's labyrinth
To the rank 666 labyrinth --- aka
Apocalypse Alice
The rabbit takes out a pocket watch with its left hand
It looks at the watch and says
”Yaah yaah, human”
I snap ers immediately Activate my 《Headphone Fuzz》
The sound from it shakes my brain
The song shakes my brain matter
The cursed song shakes my brain matter
【In an instant ♪In a flash ♪In the time of a flash ♪
The flash of time, the flash of an instant ♪In an instant ♪In a flash ———】
I look at the Gunjou beside me Gunjou too has activated her 《Headphone Fuzz》 But her movements are much slower than when she protected me from the rabbits earlier
I say
”Gunjou, you weren't like this when you had the labyrinth disease you know?”
”That's a given, right!”
”What a useless girl”
”You're the useless”
The rabbit attacks Gunjou
Gunjou yells
”daic won't make it in time”
”Acceleration switch!”
I activate ic A switch flips in my body
My whole body accelerates
In an instant, for just a second, my speed surpasses even that of God
I kick the head of the rabbit The rabbit doesn't even flinch, but stopsIts red eyes turn to me By then, my brain has already been filled with a different curse

”Demon Sword switch ---”
I take out a knife from my pocket From the center of the knife, a sith the color of darkness starts extending This ic to any object touched, and transform it into a demon sword
And right now, the demon sword special properties conferred onto this knife activate
The special properties conferred onto this knife number two
A long blade like that of a normal sword
And an assassination property that can find the place where a fatal blow can be dealt to the opponent with the strength of this sword
I search for the weakness of the rabbit
A red target point appears in eted at the pocket watch of the rabbit
”So that's the weak point duh!”
I swingthe pocket watch apart The rabbitthat, the rabbit disappears
Just like before, another rabbit was hiding behind;
”Sea Moon Wheel switch!”
Gunjou conjures ical wheels and attempts to slash its torso apart --- but, it doesn't have enough power
The rabbit's torso can't be cut
While she had the labyrinth disease, she could dispose of a rabbit with one blow, and right now, the power of her ic is clearly weaker when she employs it as a human
”Wha”
Gunjou looks surprised
But she immediately thrusts both her hands forward,
”Goooooooooooooooooooo!”
Five jellyfish wheels that appear strike the rabbit at the saot cut apart and it disappears
The fifth wheel slices the air
But with that, the rabbits have been dealt with
Haah haah, Gunjou pants, her shoulders heaving
I look down at her, h and say
”Weren't you better when you were in labyrinth diseased state?”
”Shut up!”
”By the way, the pocket watch is their weak point”
”Eh, is that so? But it's hard to aiic”
”As I thought, you're useless”
”I'll send you flying”
”Didn't you load a slot with direct point offense ic?”
Gunjou then looks up atloaded in her 《Headphone Fuzz》 She then says
”I have one loaded, but its perforood That's why I don't really want to get too close Besides, I can handle most enemies with Sea Moon Wheel”
But that's probably a lie
She's a daughter of one of the three biggest lomerates, Mitsutomo Group, at least on paper There's no way a half-ass hter of that kind of family
I thus say
”It must be because you didn't practice it much and suck at it”
”Uwu”
”Your weakness as a labyrinth-diseased girl is blood Could it be that you hate getting close because you are weak against blood?”
”Ah-uwuu”
Seems like it's a bullseye
Well of course, since ic is difficult to wield, it's hard to be proficient in all of the ic in the six different slots equally Besides, it's not really efficient to become equally proficient in all of them
Research has shown that one's perfor on the one thing that he's really good at
And for me, my forte is close combat
I' down enemies with both Acceleration switch and Demon Sword switch activated simultaneously
It's the opposite for Gunjou
Staying at a s protect her while she survey the enemy and probe for their weak points and slash at theood at, I suppose The fighting style of a richstyle of sos
But well, that doesn't matter for now What I want to ask about, is infor my little sister
I look around and say
”Can I ask you so?”
Gunjou replies before I even ask
”The rabbits come at intervals of 3 to 5 ”
”I see”
Then, does that mean that for the past one month while she was doith the labyrinth disease, she had been protecting , from those rabbits that spaithin a short interval of 3 to 5 minutes?
I consider that But I do not ask her any further, If I ask, and that's really the case, I feel like I' this debt
Gunjou continues
”So if ant to talk more, we have to move to another room”
”Well, this labyrinth was conjured by you, you should have the map”
She then nods
”The s is inside my head Once we exit the door behind us, and enter the hidden door down the corridor, the rabbits probably won't be able to find us”
I look at Gunjou and say
”Oh, for once, you're of use”
She then makes a proud face and says,
”Fuh, who do you think I am?”
”Minus voirl”
”It's always the sa is like that of an elementary school kid huh”
”That so? I'irl I like”
”Eh!?”
Gunjou's face turns slightly red, and she scowls at me
”Ah, I' so please don't make such a reaction, will you?”
”When did I!? I didn't react or anything!”
”Haah”
”What's that sigh for!”
While bantering, we exit the hall As Gunjou kicks a place on what appears to be a wall, the wall turns Beyond that, is a small room that's about 4 tatami mats in size
I look intently at the room and murmur
”If we get attacked by the rabbits in such a small room, we'll be at their mercy”
