Chapter 3: Impure Demons

PART 1

“Right now, I’m inside the main school building. Close to the stairs on the east side. Those demons are really slow.”

“I understand! I’m coming to help you!”

Hearing her sister’s voice echoing through hair ornaments, Takeru felt relieved.

Mikoto had the potential to become a genius, but she also had intense emotional ups and downs, panicking over the smallest of things. However, the voice that she heard through Guiding Voice was still calm. For now it should be fine –– thinks Takeru, looking around to assess her situation.

Thick tentacles were tangles around her torso. Her arms twisted to the back, tied. In this position, her pair of beautiful breasts spilled out of the blazer, exposed to the air. And although she could move her legs freely, attacking them would be of no use, since demons were immune to normal physical attacks.

“Right now, I am piled up under demons tentacles. I can only count on you.”

“Roger! Just keep this channel open. I cannot sense demons at all, but somehow I can feel where you are!”

Because of the demonic barrier her vision was stained with dark red, but she could still see Mikoto’s white skirt coming from the other side of the corridor. Seeing her coming, the demons holding Takeru started to move, climbing the stairs. But still, they were too slow. Quick on her feet, Mikoto soon caught up with them.

(Now, the real problems start here……)

Carefully choosing her words as to not confuse her sister further and jump to conclusions, Takeru went straight to the point.

“Listen well, Mikoto. Using your [Raiko] here will do you no good.”

“Eh!? Why!?”

“Those demons represent the fire element. Your thunder attacks would not harm them at all.”

“No way…… It’s just like with that earth walls a while ago……”

“You are weak against Earth and Fire. Such knowledge really comes in handy when you are fighting against demons.”

Lightning is weak against Fire, Fire is weak against Earth. Earth beats Lightning, Fire beats Wind ¬¬–– just like our special attributes made a good combination, I think like that, shaking my head. We infiltrated this place as transfer students without giving away that information or that we both were Exorcists.

Beside, that demons they defeated earlier were using a variety of combined attributes. So it wasn’t all that improbable that they send weaker demons against them and find out their attributes through the process of trail and error.

“Let’s see, Earth is stronger than Lightning, Fire is stronger than Wind…… Wait, so it means that I can’t do anything against the Fire with my Lightning!”

Finally realizing that herself, Mikoto gives a shout very close to a scream. Although Takeru always paid close attention to such things, her sister seemed to give this very little thought. But you had to give her that, her obliviousness was so amazing that it was almost enviable.

“What do we do, Takeru?”

“Calm down, Mikoto. I have an idea.”

Climbing the zigzag of the stairs, demons go higher and higher. At this rate they will soon arrive to the roof.

(If that’s the case, we will do it!)

Quickly drawing the map of the campus inside her head, Takeru confirmed if her intuition was correct.

“Listen, Mikoto! Those demons are soon going to arrive at the roof, so don’t do anything until that time!”

“Eh? I, I don’t understand at all, but if you say so, Takeru……”

“You have those explosive charms with you, right!? If you get them to the roof…… Kuh!?”

Feeling that the back of her neck was licked, her words got disturbed. Warm and slimy tentacle pries open the collar of her shirt, wriggling around her back vigorously like an eel.

“Wh, what happened!? Are you alright, Takeru!?”

“Nh…… It’s, it’s alright. More importantly? After getting to the roof, I want you to hit those charms immediately.”
