Chapter 19 (2/2)

”Why?”

”Huh? Well, because they're in our way?”

Tomochika didn't expect to be asked for the reason

”You knohen you put it like that it kind of sounds like you think killing people for walking slowly in front of you is fine as well”

”I mean, weren't we al that ca us It was just one attack, that could be called accidental shooting”

”What's with this newspaperlike optimism!?”

”I feel like if you don't draw a strict line then before you know it you'll be killing people just because they bothered you a little I'd rather avoid that”

”Ah, err, sorry then I guess that was pretty narrow-minded of ht, not trying to reproach you or anything”

Yogiri thought they wouldn't need to kill either of them if they just watched out for the stray bullets

Also, another reason for hissounded like a lot of effort to hi their attacks shouldn't be too difficult, so if we just proceed carefully――”

'――we'll be fine' Before he could finish, an explosive noise echoed through the whole area and together with a strong gust of wind a huge cloud of dust passed over them

At first they couldn't tell what happened, but due to how dark it suddenly got they quickly realized: the giant was blocking the sun

When the dust settled the giant was standing next to them, one of its feet on the train and several train cars destroyed because of that He was a couple dozen e to attack theiri and Tomochika had found the away, dae had also appeared next to the for hiiant before suddenlya ith his hand

”Dannoura-san, take a step back”

Yogiri took Tomochika's hand and walked back a little ―― the perfect spot to observe an ice pillar i And it didn't end at just one, right before their eyes hundreds of spears of ice, a radually formed a line of destruction that went on for as far as they could see

It was obvious that such an attack wouldn't even have an effect on the giant robot

However, for a hu hit by just one of the icicles would be fatal As a result, the area of grouped up people that hadn't been sure where to escape to had turned into a scene of atrocity

”How cruel why? There wasn't any reason to do that!”

To the floating boy's attention

”What the heck? Ihow neatly you lined up forthere?”

While keeping an eye on the giant the boy addressed the two travelers

Yogiri replied

”I should be the one asking that We're bystanders, why did you attack?”

The boy was in a fight with the giant, there shouldn't have been any reason for hi by in a train

”Did you just talk to me? Who even allowed you to raise your head? Get on your knees and rub your head against the ground when you see a sage! That's your duty, so learn your dairi was relieved

It was a simple case, there wasn't any need for debate

”You're the eyesore here”

And with those words Yogiri used his power

The boy fell to the ground with a dull thump and it looked like his neck broke when he landed, but by that time he was already dead

”Huh? You killed him?”

”Yeah Clear call for instant death if you askwith so they said

Now Yogiri looked up at the giant robot

With the sage dead they had no way of knowing how the robot would react, but right when Yogiri thought about taking the initiative the robot took action itself

”Ｗａｉｔ．Ｉ　ｈａｖｅ　ｎｏ　ｉｎｔｅｎｔｉｏｎ　ｔｏ　ｆｉｇｈｔ”

A synthetic voice spoke to them, and it seemed to be that of the robot
