Volume 5 Chapter 6 (1/2)

The date had changed

Their charge would be coed into their battlefield from a puddle at any time

”Maxwell, deactivate the alarm”

”Sure”

And I was headed to the aquariu area on my own It was of course closed by now, but that didn't matter I used Maxwell to knock out the sensors and ca went according to plan

”I know the security guards' patrol route, but I cannot predict the actions of the Remora infected Be careful”

”Right”

Thinking back, the Leviathan's interference had fully stopped Tanabe-san here Both hi from his eyes and nose

Minaki-san was right The Leviathan had a greater control over the Remoras And if she had had the Leviathan's support, my stepmom would not have been attacked by the infected while she searched that glowing ocean for hours They could have been stopped at any time

”…I'll turn that bastard into a fish du hotpot…”

”Are you irritated because you are hungry?” asked Maxwell

We released the electronic lock and I entered the building I walked between the dark, unlit tanks and uards a few times, but they were fortunately on their usual patrol route That didn't prove they weren't infected with Reh

I was blinded as soon as I opened the door The staff only area had its lights on

”…Curse this public facility They're wasting money and power”

The light could be seen as a positive or a negative, but I didn't actually knohat kind of eyesight the Reht the darkness was aiding me, but they could actually see in the dark like a cat I had to use this to e

”User”

”I know”

I had been fidgeting with so in my hands, but now I placed it over ht at a 24-hour discount shop A really cheap one

After stepping through another door, I found that giant tank

”Leviathan”

It was cal there Itus puny humans like that Probably felt superhuman

When it ca, that may have been true

But it failed miserably when it comes to human emotion There was none of the fah they were Archenemies as well

This shark only understood one part of huative emotion of envy

It must have tried to speak to me a few times because the Leviathan turned to face me

But it had to have noticed so

I couldn't hear any kind of voice

”You can no longer control me”

I tapped on the temple of the helmet

”You control the brain using a differentis cheap, but Isinker and covered the inside with a thin layer of lead I don't know if you use microwaves or X-rays, but they won't reach me”

And there was no need for conversation

I just had to get h Anyone could declare war

”…You knohy I'm here, don't you? You hurt my stepmom, used Minaki-san, stole control of the Rees It's time you paid for that”

The Leviathan lass But not because it was not willing to listen Was it going to build up speed to break the glass? Did it think a huainst its teeth?

”Didn't you hear what I said?”

But for a supposed scheht, Leviathan

I don't have to stick to a one-on-one battle

”You control the brain using a different method than the Siren!”

That uidance of her ultrasonic song, I could reach that battlefield

All I had to do was step in a puddle that was already there And my opponent was already in a tank of water

”Let's settle this on the other side, you piece of shi+t!!”

As soon as I plunged into the de current

And the Leviathan had already crashed its 30 it

At first glance, this seemed like suicide

In an all-out underwater battle, a huiant shark

…Or so you ht think

This was no accident I had intentionally challenged the Leviathan to a fight in this setup!

”Cough!!”

A salty flavor htly-closed lips andthem
