Volume 6 Chapter 4 (2/2)
Bergryd was the one standing there The scissors of the Savage that was about to swing doard Kane, were repelled by the hurled axe of him
– What are you doing that it takes you too long, huh…?
Bergryd said in an a to pursuit as about to get up
– Uooooooooooooooooh!
The axe that ung down destroyed the defensive barrier and the core
– Good, this is the second one!
Latia, as knocking down the Savage, looks at Bergryd who thumbs up for Kane, and becaure of five years ago―
It seeure of the Slayer who helped their city
(Perhaps, Bergryd-san is the one of that time?)
Her hearts goes DOKI DOKI, beating fast
[Hey, what are you spacing out for!? We defeated three of the coht!]
The coains herself
That's true Let's think about it later The continuation of the story, he'll say it after the battle, right?
(Then, I'll iht to listen to the story!)
Latia looks with her eyes at the Savage of dreadnaught type That Savage, whose defense membrane was destroyed by Fritz and Michael's boe of the collision In a rigid state such as i, the pattern of the body is thin, but now it is regaining its original radiance, it's what she understands While one of thee opens its head with its body facing towards the space Station
– A bo!
Bergryd cried out loudly
To that Wendy answers
[There's no problem, I will stop the bombardment if it comes to the base That's because it is my specialty!]
– Oh! If I'm not mistaken, lady-chan's cane is capable of deploy a powerful E-barrier I' the E barrier to lady-chan to defend against the boap created after that
– Understood!
– Roger that!
The two answered in succession
Speaking of Savage's bohts that lasts for about five seconds, after finishi+ng shooting it, a gap can beat that moment But―
– What's that?
Suddenly the battery inside the an to transforan to be released intermittently
Looking at it, Michael speaks in astonishment
– Don't tell ed…
– That's not the only thing, look that way!
Fritz's line of sight was pointed at another Savage If you look closely at that Savage, the arms that were supposed to be bloith a bo to soy bullets are fired in an intermittent manner
– What's this! Such a Savage, it's my first time!
Latia shouts while avoiding the bullets
– But what about that? In this state, did she really replied that it changed? The Savage, to have that ence…
– Say, Fritz Does it ?
Fritz and Michael had conversations in the E barrier to block the bullets approaching the space facility
– I do hope for that to be a joke… What the hell is going on, exactly?
At the same time the bullets are paused, Fritz shoots a counterattack into the Savage where one arun There, a coryd arrived
– Change of plans! Everyone, aim for the destruction of the core! Bombardment unit, rely protection to Fritz!
As instructed by Bergryd, Latia and Kane head towards the Savage while dodging energy bullets fired like a un, and the shell that accompany thee, but, the attack stops and does nothing The Savage's barrier is robust, defending it from that beam
– damn, if so, I will do it!
Latia, while dodging the lights, rotates the arht fist, and launches her knuckle towards the Savage who continued to shoot shell intere's abdo body was knocked down
– Well done, Latia! I'll finish t!
Bergryd attacks in without a e that was in a forward-bent posture, its attack stopped With his axe The core is destroyed
– Well, let's defeat the rest of the Savage to resume our lunch
At the saht turn its eyes towards Bergryd
– Bergryd-san, run away!
Fritz shouted loudly He noticed that so from the distance
– Hm? What's the matter, Fritz?
That said, Bergryd looks back
At the sa dropped to his side, and exploded Not only once But two times, three times and sunshots They seeuns In the ryd are mixed in it, and Latia did not miss them
– Commander!?
Latia cries, and rushes into the whirling cloud of smoke
– Wh, what's happening now?
While confused, Fritz and Michael, s Then, fro near, they found that a missile was fired
– Over there!
Michael screa closely, to the shadows and dents of the gigantic rocks that are towering up in the wilderness, there are around ten people, wearing caure of hue turban Three of them carry a rocket launcher on their shoulders, and the rest hold a un
– What's going on, who are those people!
It's Wendy who screa with his own gun and answered while destroying it
– They are probably terrorists, because it see for the mass driver, and the equipment to launch rockets with their missiles
– Tch, Fritz clicked his tongue, and continued
– In other words, they are those guys who refuse the advance of huh the universe
– da for the chaos due to the appearance of the Savage!
A missile aimed at a terrorist who tried to fire from his rocket launcher However, he successfully hidden in the rocks and avoided it
– Michael-senpai! I'll shoot down the missiles that were shot, so senpai you keep the bombardment on them!
– Understood!
– Uhm, err, Fritz-san…
– What's the matter, Wendy?
– Over there…
– Eh?
Fritz points his line of sight to the place shoith treers The sand sone
– You're kidding, right…?
Fritz doubted his eyes In the center of the explosion, there was Latia and Bergryd that is held in her arms In addition to the uns Let alone that his armament has been cancelled, his Variable Suit is also tattered, and blood flows from here and there
– ……
Kane, standing by the side of Latia also stood out and looked at Latia and Bergryd with a stunning look
– Commander, please hold on! Do you hear me, commander!?
Latia calls out loud
After catching the voice, Bergryd opened his eyes, while groaning
– Latia… What happened just now?
– Terrorists The terrorists appeared, they started to attack us…!
– … I see, have they hurt any people…? Perhaps that third party are the reanization or so force to the space entry… I didn't expect thee, it was a failure inpeople…
– N, no, Co! What's bad is, that they are trying to do this…
Latia glared at the terrorists who are in a gunfight with Fritz
– damn, I, to them…
– …wait, Latia
Bergryd called out to Latia who tried to kick the ground to head for the terrorists
– Now, I'll continue the story
– Co…?
– Five years ago, I was the Slayer who saved your city Well, the child at that time has really become a Slayer, I'm happy…
– Why, now, such story… Such thing, it is for later…
– Listen, listen carefully It's an advice of your senpai Always, fight for what you keep in your heart with justice That way, no matter what happens, it will not break, and it will be not painful when you die
– Commander?
– …say, Latia What's your justice? What are you fighting for?
– I, like co, cool Slayer to save people… So, thus I became a Slayer…
– In other words, your justice is me? If that's the case, then leave uys― protect this base for the future of the Earth In order to create a world where our children's generation cannot be frightened by fear,
COUGH, blood spat out of the ryd
– Commander!
– …I'm ok More than that, answerwish come true Make me rest in peace
– Yes… I under, stand…
Squeezing her nose, Latia continued
– I will fight by taking over the dying wish of the coryd-san, rest for a moment
Latia gently stood laying down the coaze at the terrorists
– I will not forgive to anyone of you Neither the Savage
A large ay was released from the body of Latia who shouted
– No way, she…
It was that 'no way'
The whole body of Latia is enveloped by a shi+ning energy What appeared fros armor thickened―
– Full armament… is it?
Like seeing so incredible, Michael had his eyes wide open
– Haha, apparently it is so like that…
– Although the atmosphere was similar when Hayato and Claire were in full ar like this, really―
Fritz could not believe what happened in front of him The situation in the middle of that
– Hey, Latia A !
Kane is the one who shouted Naturally, the terrorists also noticed the change in the arer Rapidly, they shot sainst Latia However, Latia is not perturbed at all On the contrary, she pointed her body towards the missile, inhaled deeply, and pulled her arm And then―
– Haaa!
She pushed out her fist for the approaching missile The wind created by this causes the missile to scatter one hundred meters ahead, let alone the explosion, that bleay the bodies of the terrorists that were in that way, two hundred meters behind
– Hey hey, what's that?
Turning around in the direction of Fritz whoan event that was beyond coe, Latia said
– Fritz, I entrust the commander to you Michael-senpai and Kane-senpai will catch the terrorists I'll take the Savage by myself
– By yourself, are you sure… about that?
– Of course!
In response to Fritz's question, Latia, who kicked the ground with force, hit the Savage with a loud cry while shedding tears
About one hour and a half had passed, since the predicted Savage's invasion in the area of Sangria There are already a nuoon type Hundred on the deck of Little Garden and in the city of Sangria
This third range unit deployed to the outskirts of Sangria is one of them
Not only their own lives but also the battle that i nervous and setting up their preparations for the Savage's invasion
A them are second year students of Little Garden There was Liddy Steinberg, who's also one of the vice-presidents She is also the leader of this third range unit And only Liddy is specializing in melee attack in this unit― nonetheless, that doesn't e attacks Air Rides are prepared in one of the three tracks that fore camp Thrusters to fly in the sky and, two muzzles that shoot beams― there are ten missiles which are live ahtLiddy's et rid of the Savage
BEEP BEEP, the nal reverberated on the track The flashi+ng red light installed on the top also eht Subsequently, the sound that came to the base camp is the voice of Chris Steinbelt, Main analyst of Little Garden
[This is the Briefing Roo to all of the third range unit A group of Savage touched the outer ath thermosphere, round in tenpoints of the space Station of Liberia and <liza>> are both in the vicinity of Sangria and the nue of the operations of the third range unit is twoPlease prepare for interception iain―]
Along with those words, Liddy and the rest started to move immediately Each Slayer raises their voices with [HUNDRED ON] and deploys their Hundred, keeping up their placement
[There are only five e arrives!]
When that communication of Chris was heard from the speaker from the bottom of the neck, Liddy equipped the Air Ride on her back, and was looking at the sky above the hill with her Long Spear Hundred type, Midgard Schrange, on her hand She still cannot grasp the Savage with the naked eye Then three ain
[Everyone in the third range unit, please start to gather energy!]
– Infory!
Liddy exclai to that voice, each one fro they should do is to develop barriers to wrap around the giant falling Savage― it is to destroy the defensive membrane
[To all the archers that have the opportunity, please fire the arrows ai under your own judgment]
– Uh huh, of course that's the plan
[Then, please keep your eyes on the Savage while co your operations I will leave it under your care]
The trans at the sky cales are reflected in her eyes
– Objective confirmed, attaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!
Bearound
Liddy kicked the ground by confire's defensive membrane was destroyed by they from the thruster of the Air Ride She readied her <heavenly jet=”” black=”” spear=””>> Midgard Schrange, plunging forward aie
– Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Attacks with the spear in a for to the sky, and rotates it as Savage's big body revolves in the air Then, the pattern of the body shone violently
It is trying to recover the balance of its body using energy Liddy who felt that, shot beae body was sent flying further to the sky
– This is your end!
Liddy accelerated using the thruster while confirard Schrange like a powered drill, she assaulted aie Liddy not only destroyed the shelter at the head but also destroyed the core The pattern of the body of the Savage faded, and it shook off to the wilderness above ground
– The first one―
BOOM, the Savage's corpse falls on the grounda sound Immediately after that, a heavy iround
(It seems like they could defeat another one?)
Liddy looked at the place where a cloud of dust whirls
Coirl, the sub leader of this third sniping unit
[My apologies, Liddy-taichō We were able to tear the defensive membrane, but the bow troops could not destroy the defensive wall nor the core]
– Roger, I will handle it
Answers Liddy, looking once again towards the ground That facial expression, in an instant was tinged with impatience
– It is bad!
As inside the cloud of dust was beco its eted But the round
– …tsk!
Rather, if she was the one being targeted that would have been better Thinking that, Liddy clicked her tongue She can easily dodge it, or she can block it with the E barrier Of course, the members of the unit are Slayers E barrier can be deployed, but to begin with, there are too ht that soe that is in a bombardive any daerous in that situation
It would be better to not let it bombard if possible
(If so, with this!)
Liddy swung her arain, and throws Midgard Schrange in the head of the Savage, which started rotating
– Uooooooooooooooooooooo!
Because of the attacks froed So far fro the bombardment, it penetrated the defensive barrier and destroyed the core
– This is the second one
Liddy pulled out Midgard Schrange froround
– That was too quick, don't you think?
Mur Room
– Chris, I confires just now
[That's enough for today― although I would like to say that, but it is predicted that three Savages will fall in the vicinity of Little Garden Since there are no signs that Savage will fall within the range of the operations of the third range unit so far, would it be possible for Liddy-san to considerate to assist the guardian unit of Little Garden?]
– Naturally I' immediately
With that answer Liddy contacted the girl who's the sub leader in the third range unit
– By orders frouardian unit in Little Garden You will be waiting in this place for the next Savage's approach
– Understood
Liddy, who heard the reply, flew to the sky using the Air Ride's thruster and startedtowards Little Garden
Tree shi+p, it is surrounded by a transparent plastic y, except for the deck Therefore, if it disconnects the tree shi+p and get off the port, it looks like a safe shelter As a result, at the tie, the children in the city of Sangria also moved to Little Garden and, with their residents, were to evacuate to a huge underground shelter in the military district
– Everyone, this way! Little Garden is safe so, please move calmly!
It's Ryu Shuemei, a first year froaphone in her hands, and is infor to the residents of Little Garden and also to the children coria Also from the same first year Noah Sheldon and Alphonse Brewstadt were inforether with Shuemei
– Everyone, please move calm― kyaa!
Noah, who raised her voice following Shue impact noise sounded inside the shi+p and Little Garden shook violently
– What was that of now?
– A Savage!
It is Alphonse that answered Noah's doubt while looking up at the sky He was able to see the lass The shake of now is due to that impact However, what he can see is not the abdo an Air Ride
– It seee has not fallen directly onto Little Garden, right…?
The conjecture froht
Thespeed of the Savage, which defensive uardian unit Nonetheless, Liddy rushed to prevent the fall onto Little Garden, but she did not lass is not broken and no fissure are into it It goes without saying that this is also thanks to the functioning energy barrier of <liza>> But, that doesn't e has died
The Savage recovers its stance on the surface of the top glass and board Schrange by dodging it However, it did not lead to the destruction of the core The Savage, whose body was pushed by Liddy's attack, slips off to the deck, sliding down frolass Bounces once, and it sinks in the sea just like that Noah said, watching the situation
– Apparently, looks like it's already ok now
Alphonse breathed feeling relieved Little Garden doesn't seee probably understood that Noah and Shues, are also wrapped in relief
So Shue her arms
– Everyone, as you can see, Little Garden is sturdy, even if the Savage defeat the Slayers So please, take it easy, and advance slowly!
However now, another big explosion and tremor hit Little Garden
– What, now… That felt different from the previous tremor…
The facial expression of Noah instantly turned stern
– The previous one was vertical, but the one from now, felt like it was horizontal, isn't it?
Alphonse looked up to the top glass, but he could not see the Savage And there again, an explosion along with a tremor hit Little Garden
– Hii!
While screa his Hundred, a Ta, named Silver Blitz, which was at his feet
– Probably this, is an attack that coht?
– Huh?
When she heard the guess froo round
– Indeed, you could say that tremor felt that way
Noah said showing her agreement
Then there the sound of an explosion reverberated again However, until while ago, the distance was far, the tre, but consistent over time
– What's, that…?
Shuee waterspout that can be seen far away
It's that, the Savage that fell into the ocean…? In spite of that, the Savage can attack froo, is even able to act in the ocean!
– It is just as you said, Alphonse Brewstadt
– That voice…!
Alphonse raises only his face while hugging Silver Blitz and turned his eyes towards the owner of that voice
– Yo, guys!
It was Charlotte as riding aa candy in her mouth like usual as she said that to Alphonse Then, she stops herone foot on the ground
– As guessed by Alphonse, this is a Savage that can even do an attack fro into the sea and attacking Little Garden in total But don't worry, because our forces are beating them properly Nevertheless, just to be sure, when the evacuation guidance is over, even you guys should go to the shelter In case there's a moetting to the shi+p
– Oh, yes I understand!
Noah replied
– Well then, if you excuse e this situation quickly ill be wasting the power of Little Garden
Charlotte resuain her ure, the three of theuidance of the evacuation
– Kuh, no way, I couldn't give it a finishi+ng blow, and to thrust down that one into the sea…
In the sky above Little Garden, Liddy was distorting her expression with regret Even though she wasn't in tie that tried to fall on top of Little Garden, with the attack she co it into the sea
On the contrary, there are two other Savages which fell into the ocean Moreover, it see to attack Little Garden from underwater That's why it can be understandable that Little Garden is shaking, due to the barriers deployed on its exterior that are operating Liddy quickly decided to contact the Briefing Roo's wireless function It's because she can't fight in the water
– I' at the last h I think that I can also grasp that, any of those Savages or maybe all of them can possiblyan attack on Little Garden
[Of course, we already caught that too in here e in the sea]
It was not Chris, but the voice of Claire that came back The way to deal with it, Liddy immediately understood that
– Is the usual trio?
[That's right]
The usual trio is the three people h they have been treated by Charlotte, and that they can't lose control, their abilities have dropped considerably Still, as a result of training, their strength have already recovered to about a 90 Therefore, in this Third Attack, Liddy knew that the Savages that can move around in the sea will be dealt with those that were doing training under the direction of Charlotte
[Therefore Liddy, please return to your position]
– Got it
Those three will be fine, isn't it?
Liddy replied while thinking that
[And, two things before that There are good news and bad news for you]
– …Good news and bad news? What does that mean?
[The good news first The Savage also invaded the vicinity of Sunshi+ne State, your birthplace However, due to the success of Fritz and Latia the space Station and the town have not been daed Besides, there is a report that Latia was in full arood news]
– I see…
It can be done if both of theht She felt relieved to that extent
– Then, what are the bad news?
[In the ht the terrorists attacked a person, a Slayer from Warslan who died in action]
– … don't tell me that, it is Fritz Grantz?
Full armament may be caused by a peak in the e the victih her mind
[No, he wasn't]
– Then as―
[The victiryd Leonhardt]
– Is that so, he's…
As a Slayer of Warslan, he is a h contribution and a superior as a Slayer They have met many times over
[Actually he is the person who made Latia and Fritz aim to be Slayers That's why I am worried about theelse to report]
– I expressly sorry Thank you very much for the information
[I give you my very thanks for your continuous efforts Thanks to you, the daria is minimal at the moment]
– As you say, that's the most important
[Then, I'll leave it up to here]
The communication from Claire ends At the same time Liddy muttered
– A victiht…
She was happy that her hohted with the new family However, this is the place where Liddy have to take care about the mental aspect of the two people For the moment Liddy has never encountered the sacrifice of a coine the feelings of Fritz and Latia, she can't understand them
(I won't say to the a Slayer…)
She have heard many stories about those people whose teaes in front of theo out to the battlefield anymore It is said that it is actually a trauma where ti But, Liddy quickly shook off the anxiety from her head
(No, those two people I'et over it)
Only because she felt that their strength was there, she approved to put those two people as members of Selections Even the participation in this battle
(At any rate, for Latia to be in full armament…)
Even though it is due to a temporary rise in her emotions, she can't be too careless Because beyond Claire, there is also the possibility of being pulled down
(I need to be even way stronger…)
To protect this world To get closer to her admired Claire
– The preparations seem to be in place
Charlotte said as she reached the hangar, and descended from the electric ed their clothes to Variable Suit and were lining up Then she walked towards the locker at the back of the roo the password on the control she continued talking
– As reported earlier in the coe that are in the sea It's a crucial mission to protect Little Garden
– We know it, we've been receiving practice for this moment Quickly take out the <underwater armor=””>> Diver
That's what Krovahn said Then Nakri said
– The swaying froht? We have to hurry somehow!
– I know I know!
Charlotte who answered urged on by those two people, opened a locker and took out the <underwater armor=””>> Diver Unlike the Air Ride, only helas cylinder are equipped It is an iinally used for Slayers for training in the void of space
There is only one thing different froen in the cylinder is created by energy Unless the energy is cut off, the aen is inexhaustible
– I'll repeat the iy, or when the cylinder is destroyed, you ithdraw immediately… ok?
– Uh huh, understood
Answers Krovahn, receiving the Diver and began to equip it Nesat and Nakri also receive Diver and begin to equip them
– Sisters, could you equip it too?
– …yeah
Nesat nods Continuing, Nakri said
– Both Karen's elder brother and that daht now, right? If so, then we are the ones who have to get through this This is our repayment to you who helped us Don't you think so, Nesat?
– …yeah
Nesat nodded firmly and said
– Hayato and the others are not here, we have to do our best
– …
– What's the matter, Krovahn?
Nesat tilted her head, looking at the sullen look of Krovahn
– It, it's so?
– Perhaps Krovahn is unable to stomach that Karen's brother's name came out of the mouth of Nesat?
– Hey, don't say so so unnecessary!
– For what reason does Krovahn hate that the name of Hayato came out?
– I don't particularly hate it, got it!? Rather, I should say that this is not the place to be talking soree?
Saying that to deceive thear
– Let's go We will save this place of now― Little Garden, with our strength!
Nohat's going on outside?
The ones in the basement of Little Garden don't know Everyone in the shelter ith their face with uneasiness
– That's a real horizontal tre well…
Murlasses and a hat Her i Karen are on her side The friends of her, Aoi and Rebecca, were also there They roup
– At any rate Sakura-san, we are in Little Garden now
Aoi murmurs close to Karen's ears Subsequently, Rebecca also murmurs close to Karen's ears
– Karen knew about that thing?
– Yeah, I must admit…
The invasion of the
