78 74 Lets leave an impression and go home. (2/2)

I use the momentum-killing recoil to counter it with a thrust, but it's returned by the advancing leader's kick, sending my sword sideways as I crawl toward it.

You will be able to get the most out of the kick by putting pressure on your abdominal muscles as soon as possible, but the impact is only slightly lessened by the pressure on your internal organs.

Then I'll make you throw up.

”Physically?

Unfashionable and laughable.

It's a noisy environment.

Some of them try to approach Amelia, but when she makes a gesture to fire her magic gun, they leave.

The church wants to end this before disaster strikes, and I'm persisting in order to escape.

Hmph!

”Oops!

I glanced to the side to check the situation, and he takes advantage of my opportunity.

I deflect the attack with my mineral tree and cut back with it, but it ducks.

It's getting physically demanding, but my biological clock is telling me that it's time to move.

Bishop!　What a big creature from the sky!

”You're going to get away with that!　Fool, when you get low, you'll be dropped by the gunfire from the ramparts!

I decided by the sound of the bishops' voices that the timing was right.

So I'll leave you to it.

”Let me go!

”It's bad manners to keep a business from leaving, you know?

First tear off the second button of the suit to pull off the knight commander.

Then I remember to close my eyes.

The moment I close my eyes, I see through my eyelids that my suit's jacket emits a powerful flash.

What's the power of this blinding with your eyes closed, man?

The power of a special suit made by Giant was reaffirmed by the power that would make you go blind if you saw it in person, and that the special suit made by Giant is not a madman in the right direction.

The victim, the knight commander, looks like he has closed his eyes painfully, but he's catching a hint of movement or maybe he's not exposing his gap.

”Wait!

”I'm not stupid enough to wait for you to tell me to wait, Amelia!　Floating Student!

”Oh, OK!

There's no way I can afford to touch a wounded beast.

It's enough for us to stop moving.

I'll distance myself from the leader at once to make the best use of the little time I have.

You're going to have to be able to use your own personal computer to make your own decisions.

In addition, the flashes of light from earlier in the day have affected the soldiers around me, so there are almost no people left to move, allowing me to move freely.

Amelia, who's ahead of me, is also affected, but that's to be expected.

Mike tells me that my imaginary being can do it, and I confirm that the student is floating.

Let's jump!

”Fly!

”No, it's the jumping one!

The huge shadow from the sky was unable to fly low due to the attack magic from below, so it couldn't get close to this cathedral.

Then we'll have to get closer.

Heading for the heavens, far away from here, is not reckless, but it's fantasy that makes it possible.

Run up to Amelia and take her in a sideways hug with one hand and ask the students to endure her in the same hovering position.

Then you activate the hidden magic tool.

”It's a privilege, Amelia. Don't bite your tongue.

”Huh?

I feel a strong magical reaction in the soles of my activated magic tool, a leather shoe, like a precursor to a bomb going off.

And a magic circle unfolds at my feet.

Target set, bearing fixed, power critical!

Leaving a bewildered Amelia feeling dubious and confused, following the steps of the procedure manual, shouts a message sent by a familiar face, the owner of Giant's Arms Shop.

There's no seat belt!　Emergency escape device, activate!

It wasn't so much a jet blast as it was the exact moment a bomb exploded.

Below the magic circle, or more accurately, the sole of my shoe exploded like a ton of bricks, sending my body skyward.

The emergency escape device, the work of giants that got Mud's blood pumping when he saw a device to escape from a car in one of the many spy movies.

A piece of work that had almost no use, now saw the light of day.

This leap was only meant to go up one way.

A defective product that doesn't even take into account fall protection.

And since it was originally designed to get you out of the city with a whole class on top of the magic circle, it's much more powerful than the escape device in the movie.

What's going on?

”Hahahahahahahaha!　This is the work of giants!　Also they'll make something interesting!

It's not a problem when I'm jumping because the air resistance barrier is up.

The unseen Amelia and her sleeping students don't know what's happening, but the seen me and the perceiving Mike will know better.

We're flying up into the sky at breakneck speed.

That's too much, you idiot!

I can certainly say that this is a good way to get out, but what do you do beyond the bugs that rendezvous in the air!

I've overtaken the giant dragonfly-like monster in my momentum.

In a panic, the rider controls the reins to give chase.

All the while, magic flies in from below, but I'm jumping too fast to keep up with them.

”Yow brothers, there's a lot of fanfare in here!　Are you the guests your vampire sister told you to pick up?

Yes!　There's no way that many people would book you to come to this place!　Stop whining and get to work!

Okay, it's good to see that your brother is doing well. Can you jump over?

”If I could, I would have done it already!

”Then it gets a little rough. Let's go, buddy!

The rider caught up with us faster than we could fall.

With magic, he grasps the situation by expanding his voice, quickly moving the reins quickly.

The rider and the hexenbiest carefully move their huge bodies in concert with each other, then somersault into the air to follow our flight into the sky.

You're alive, brother!

I realize that a floor that doesn't fall off is great.

”I'm in pain.

”Hahaha, that's pretty powerful.

Caught in a cage mounted on the back of a dragonfly for a person to ride in, I am now feeling raw.

I dismiss the fact that it was stowed away a little clumsily as a matter of course.

Amelia may have bitten her tongue on the first impact, or she's holding her mouth.

The other students are safely contained.

I'm relieved to see that my body isn't creaking and I can ask the rider who holds the reins to smoke first.

Is this basket also a magic tool or do you feel neither cold nor wind?

That makes it easy to light a cigarette.

”Will you be able to escape?

”Who do you think you're asking?

Well, then stay on schedule.

I've heard that this country has air power, too.

I asked him if the smoke in his lungs would be safe for him to escape, and he said no.

Then we'll do the rest as planned.

We left our people behind.

”Hmm?

”Mr. Jirou, Mike, are you sure about this?

”I'd rather say this is the best possible outcome for the situation. If Amy had stayed where she was, you and the men here wouldn't be alive. That I was able to save them is an accomplishment. When you say everyone else, you mean everyone else, but I don't think he could have afforded to take any more of them out of there.

As I was thinking about my next appointment in my head, Amelia, freed from the pain, was getting serious.

She must be feeling guilty that she had escaped on her own.

Oh, I'm sorry.

”Oh, no, Chigayo!　It's not that I'm attacking Mr. Jiro.

No, I mean, sorry I didn't explain it better. Jockey, what color did you hear back from Memoria?

”It's green, brother!

Then it's worth the effort.

So that means it's going well over there. Amelia, I think you got your classmates out safely.

”Huh?

Sorry Amelia, I don't like the seriousness of the situation.
