Translator: Reflet
A great many words in an instant.
A moment of eye meeting eye.
――Use me
――I decided I would protect you, with my power, to the end
――You’ve been protecting me, so now is perfect
――I want to continue protecting you forever from now on
――You’re not my father, Taiyou-kun, protecting and being overprotective are different
――Even so, once I’ve decided something
――But there’s something longer ago that you’ve decided
――Decided？
――Decided
――Decided……
That moment, certain words arose in the back of Taiyou’s mind.
Words that he had from time and time again discussed with anyone, the dignity that he had continued to insist on.
『Objective』、and『Method』.
He came into contact with the soul that had been hurt by the life-sucking magic sword, uncovered.
A mere moment.
Taiyou remembered that――was forced to remember.
Nails dug into his palm, he stiffly clenched his back teeth.
Hesitation was for a moment, and resolution was also for a moment.
He re-embraced Aoba from his left to his right.
「U……oooooooh！」
There was a roar in that instant.
She had let out a battle cry enough to shake the atmosphere.
Aoba had curled her body up despite not having any signal……and he threw her just like that！
Aiming for the girl sprinting forward.
Like a cannonball, the ponytail girl rushed away, slicing the air.
「Taiyou-chan！」
He disregarded the surprised Hera. At the same time, he sprinted without stopping.
Thrown at her, Aoba went ahead.
She flew ahead at a speed far superior to the sprinting girl, catching up in even less than a short pause.
「Uu？」
Her voice was like that of a beast.
At almost the same time that the girl turned around, Aoba had『impacted』her.
Being the proposer, she was not simply thrown. Right before crashing into her, she had suddenly opened her arms that she had kept balled up in order to reduce air resistance, covering the girl in the hospital gown up.
The girl’s right hand――her right arm that was being ruled over by the magic sword of blood and life.
Aoba clung to that right arm with all her might.
「Uu、uaaaaaah！」
「――ngh」
「Aaaga-a-aaaah！」
It was enough power to make one astonishedly wonder where that strength was coming from.
She had not only stopped a human flying at her and clinging to her faster than the speed of a car with hardly any stepping back, but was also swinging her around as she clung to her.
In order to shake her off, she swung her from left to right.
Aoba shut her eyes tightly, desperately clinging to her.
The girl who was shaking her off like she would a biting louse, and Aoba who showed her will to not let go even if it killed her.
In an instant.
She had of course saved not even an interval of time; a mere second.
But that was enough.
One mora later, Taiyou leaped in like an arrow.
Stomping on her like an arrow, Taiyou grabbed the struggling girl’s shoulders.
Stopping her movement, he gave her a blow to the vitals.
It was an impact enough to make the back of the girl’s feet rise up.
Her eyes opened wide in a flash, and immediately following, her consciousness sunk and her body crumbled down.
As if a string attached had been cut, she tumbled onto the ground.
Hera had at last managed to catch up, so he turned to her.
「Please survey the surroundings. Figure out what has become of Saegusa Tsukumo and his lot as well as Juunishima Anna and her lot, not to mention that Tsubaki woman」
「Rojuu」
She charmingly saluted, flying off along with a reply that he had grown all too familiar with.
After seeing her off, he now looked at the dagger rolled over on the ground.
The source. The magic sword that took life and soul, ruling over her.
Taiyou picked it up, breaking it like one would dispensable chopsticks.
Letting out a dry “pakin” sound, the hilt and blade split in two.
Once he did that, the dagger as well as the girl’s body gradually stopped emitting red light and throbbing.
Seeing that, Taiyou let out a sigh of relief.
But the job was still not finished.
Taiyou glared at the men around him.
They were men he had already defeated, and even now the majority of them were weak in the knees having lost the will to fight.
Even so, Taiyou moved toward them.
Emitting a villainous smile, he walked briskly toward them.
The objective he had come here for, and the method to achieve it.
In order to plant trama in his opponents, he once again insta-killed all of the men.
After bringing them all down, he once again surveyed his surroundings.
