Chapter 3: Angel

Part 1

Turning back to 10 o

Inside the abandoned building, shi+dou was struggling desperately while stuck on the chair

“Kuh, Get off…!”

Even though he hit the chair with his arms, the metal handcuffs would not break because of that Similarly, the chair fix to the floor with a rivet, also did not move at all

“da this at a tiami!”

Even though he shouted, there was no one that would respond to his call He could only hear his voice bounce back hopelessly fro his face

He had no clue where this abandoned building was located but, there was no co he could hear was the creaking door moved by the wind and sometimes the sound of car horns from far away

Nonetheless, this was only so natural That’s because, this was the confineami picked It should be somewhere hard for anyone to find

But…………finding out what that ht forth despair for him

Having spent a long tihts There was no way she would pick a place like [A place where no one will ever pass-by] to confine shi+dou in

The reason was siami was the only one to know this place then; there exists no one to save shi+dou if anything happens to Origami by any chance

Of course, there was a possibility that a program was prepared to send a mail of shi+dou’s location to the police or school after soa by this area once every 2 or 3 days so that shi+dou won’t starve to death

Especially for this situation, Origaht with the Spirits There wasn't any problem for her if shi+dou was stuck here for the whole day

Then------there ht be a chance [someone] that passes by here once every 2 or 3 days would appear Placing his bet on that s

“Anyone! Is there anyone here!”

He can’t trust the current Origami He didn't care about his thirsty throat and continued shouting

However nohe could hear was his echoed back voice

“Guh………”

At least it would be nice if he could contact soami Kotori and the rest would probably look for shi+dou if they don’t knohere he was but, it will be too late

“damn, what should I……!”

It happened the h he kneas futile

“Eh……?”

shi+dou opened his eyes hen he heard another creak other than the chair

He stoppedand focused his ears When he did that, he found out there were soft footsteps echoing from the other side of the door in front of him

“……! I-is anyone there!?”

It was help fro this chance The footsteps slowly got closer as if the person noticed his voice and stopped right in front of the room door that shi+dou was trapped inside

But

After seeing the person opening the door while creaks could be heard froain controlled by nervousness again

“O-Origami…………!?”

Yes The person there was the culprit that confined shi+dou here It was Miss Tobi+chi Origami that left the area just now

“……………”

After Origami opened the door, she walked to shi+dou silently

shi+dou was surprised for an instant but, he iain his composure

“Origami----you came back?”

“…………”

Origah he asked her She walked to hiht in front of him

“Origami……?”

shi+dou frowned his eyebrows at the un-talkative Origami----

“Uh, you------“

He gasped at the sudden possibility that scratched his mind

At first, shi+dou thought Origahts half-way and decided to coht

But, thinking calmly, that was a very naïve hopeful view for him

Yes The girl-Tobi+chi Origaer detere her mind without any reason

Then why did she come back?

There were only 2 things he could think off

First, some kind of problem occurred and she had no choice but to come back to shi+dou

And another

---She has already finished her goal

“…………”

After shi+dou gulped, Origami opened her eyes

“Origami, why……are you back here?”

“……………”

Origami did not answer She remain silent and only stared at shi+dou

shi+dou’s breathing slowly turned hen he saw her unreadable robotic expression His heartbeat turned rough and his voice turned very dry

“N-no way, you…………”

When shi+dou said it with a terrified voice, Origami showed a reaction for the first time

However, it wasn’t consent nor was it denial She only raised the side of her lips silently and----nii she made a smile

“………Wha-----“

shi+dou felt that his heart was getting squeezed when he saw that face

But that was only natural That’s because the person in front of hies her expression and that graceful appearance was even enough to be compared with a doll There were times that she raised her eyebrows or relaxes her cheeks but, he has never seen her make a distinct [smile] like now

That ht be true This was the first tiami’s emotion from her expression

“W-why……are you sami……”

When shi+dou asked, Origa as if she could not handle it anymore

“Fu---------fufu, fufufu”

It then slowly got louder

“Fufuu, ahaha-haha…ahahahahahahahahahahaha!”

“O……ri, ga…mi?”

Origa shi+dou could only call her name blankly when he saw that weird scene

He had no idea what that laugh ami in front of hi like an alarm bell from that weird scene

---but, he noticed so weird

He felt that Origa too much

“Hii, hiii, hii! What is with that face, what is with that face! Ahahahaha! So weird! So weird! Ah it hurts!”

“………Origami?”

Sas flowing down shi+dou’s cheek while he closed half of his eyes…………Origa around Her panties could so that wildly It hite

When Origaairl entered the room

She was a s a casket with cute decorations, and a puppet in her left hand shi+dou raised his voice in reflex when he saw her

“Yoshi+no!?”

“Y-yes……are you okay, shi+dou-san”

Yoshi+nothat As if to match with that, her left hand [Yoshi+non] Clatterclatter opened her mouth

“Iyaah, this is one a kidnap and confinement Come on Yoshi+no, this is a chance you know? you can do anything to shi+dou now!”

“………!”

Yoshi+no’s face turned beet red and she suppressed [Yoshi+non]'s mouth

It’s not like he was not curious at [Yoshi+non]’s improper comment but, there was no time for that shi+dou shouted

“Yoshi+no, run! The current Origami is weird!”

He had no idea why Yoshi+no was here But, he could easily understand how dangerous it is to expose Yoshi+no to the eyes of Origa to kill the Spirits

However, Yoshi+no a

She then quietly opened herafraid

“Err……I think it’s enough………?”

“Fu-fufu……hi-hiii……hii………”

After Yoshi+no said that, Origa and raised her body from the spot She then flip up her messed up front hair andoff a pale glow

“Wha-----“

After shi+dou opened his eyes wide blankly and Origaradually turned sirl he was familiar with

“Natsumi!?”

Yes The person that appeared there was the Spirit Natsumi in her real appearance ----who caami just noas Natsu was off

For now, shi+dou ami just noas a fake and that both of the of the sigh in a wrong way and brought her eyebrows closer while looking at shi+dou’s direction

“………What, you got a problem? Unsatisfied because I came?”

“No, no way at all……More importantly, why are you two here?”

When shi+dou asked, Yoshi+no and Natsu their mouth

“Err………I was giving a tour of the city for Natsumi-san……”

“Right ere doing so,you walking with Origami for some reason So, Yoshi+no was curious about it and decided to follow you then-----“

“Na-natsumi-san………”

Yoshi+no pulled the sleeves of Natsurabbed Yoshi+no’s shi+rt sleeves too Both of the each other’s shi+rt……………it was a weird scene

“A-anyway, you guys are lifesavers! Please, could you take off this handcuffs and rope?”

After shi+dou said that, both of the and went behind shi+dou Both of the with the handcuffs and the knot of the rope to help hiet loose

“shi+-shi+dou-san………where is the keys for the handcuffs……?”

“Uwah, the hell is with this rope On top of being tied in such a complex manner, the knot is hardened with adhesives……”

It seeae the situation at all

However, Don Natsumi hit her chest that moment

“I have no choice Leave this to me”

“Eh? What are you going to do?”

“Wait a second”

After saying that, Natsumi closed her eyes and silently stood still for a while

And after a few seconds, her expression for soers as if she was scratching her throat and-------she suddenly opened her eyes wide

“-----Shut the hell up damn ittttttttt!”

Natsu unknown to hi shi+dou’s body gave a pale glow before turning into soft cottons

“Thi-this…!”

shi+dou brought both his ar his eyes in astonishment

“Natsuet back your Reiryoku”

When shi+dou asked, Natsumi whipped the sweat on her forehead as if she was tired and Fuuu exhaled

“Hnn…………Whenever I think of so in my mind, I noticed a little of s I can do with it though”

“Nasty feeling………?”

“………yeah Incidentally just now, i had a scene i my bento in the toilet cubicle because I had no friends, I then coirl in my class when the door opened”

“Uwah……that’s just e”

“…………And when I got back to class, I noticed everyone was laughing while looking at s like that really happen Ehh, isn’t that dirty?”

“STOP!”

shi+dou covered his ears and shouted in reflex at that sad scene

But i that He took off the cotton curled around his body and wrist before standing up fro because his body was stuck in the sa

Anyway, he has to head towards the girls now The worst case scenario, was that Origairls

At that moment, shi+dou [Ah] let out his voice

“Oh yeah……! Both of you, can I borrow your cellphone if you have it?”

“Eh? Ah, yes, here”

When shi+dou said that, Yoshi+no took her blue cellphone out from her pocket

After saying thank you and receiving it, he picked the name Itsuka house (2) from the address record and called

This Itsuka house (2) is actually a code for <fraxinus> This nuiven to the Spirits for theency

With this, he could contact <fraxinus> and use the teleporter to iirls Even in a worst case scenario, he's able to ask Kotori to support the girls

However, instead of the call voice or crew voice co from the receiver, he could only hear a robotic duu duu sound from it

“………What’s this?”

It’s still okay if it was Kotori answering her personal cellphone but, this was <fraxinus> exclusive line He re told to use this connectable special line even if the coht be blown off by the space quake

---Did so happen to <fraxinus> shi+dou’s face distorted his face in reflex when anxiety spread out in the reverse side of his chest

“Err, shi+dou-san………?”

Maybe she felt uneasy from his expression; Yoshi+no said that in a worried manner

“Aah……Sorry Thank you”

After saying that, shi+dou returned Yoshi+no’s cellphone and pointed his toe to the room entrance

“Both of you, please! I don’t knohere this is Will you all lead me to a place that I aer”

When shi+dou said that, Yoshi+no and Natsumi made a shocked face but however, they immediately made serious eyes and nodded

Part 2

“Uu…Guh……”

Tohka raised her body while distorting her face It seems she was unconscious for a while

She found sticky blood on her chest when she touched it However, it was only natural That’s because her Astral Dress which was supposed to be an absolute arami’s laser blade

“I……”

“……aah, Tohka-san……you woke up”

When Tohka raised her eyebrohile , she could hear that weak voice

After lifting her face, she saw Miku in a sliced apart li heavily as if to protect Tohka There were several bruises and cuts on her white skin; she was literally wounded all over It was even a s

“Miku! A-are you okay……!?”

“Yes………soood to see you’re…oka-----“

Right in the middle of her words, Miku fell to her knees and collapsed Tohka ran to her quickly and supported her body

“Get a hold of yourself, Miku! Miku!”

After Miku smiled weakly in response to Tohka’s voice, she closed her eyes At the sath in her body and went limp It looks like she fainted

And at thatstepped on in the front direction

When she looked over there She found a death God in dark gray armor

“Tobi+chi----Origami……!!”

She called the girl's naalance at Tohka

Yuzuru was around her feet and Kaguya was collapsed a little further away from her It seems both of them were still conscious but, both their bodies were covered ounds like Miku and it looked so painful that it made Tohka want to look away in reflex

Both of the the ti the defenseless Tohka froami

After Tohka clenched her teeth, she laid Miku’s body down gently and stood up with <sandalphon> in her hands

“You bastard………ould you do this……!”

“I don’t understand your question”

Origami did not move her expression at all and replied back

“All of you are Spirits are disasters killing this world; an existence threatening huain”

After saying that in a very calers on her left hand And as if to match with that, Yuzuru as collapsed at her feet was lifted up by an invisible hand

“An…guish Master……Origami, why………”

“…………”

After Origaht her eyebrows closer, she extended her hand to Yuzuru’s neck and th into her hand and a painful voice leaked out Yuzuru’s throat

However, Origami did not bother about it and readied the laser blade in her right hand to thrust it into Yuzuru’s stomach

“You bastard……!”

Tohka shouted and prepared <sandalphon> But------faster than a beat, there was a shadow flying towards Origae but, she charged towards Origaiant lance while a crazy a out of her body

“-----What you doing to Yuzuru, Origamiiiiiiiiiiii!!”

Kaguya’s eyes turned bloodshot and she attacked Origaauya’s lance passed through Origaed a part of her CR-unit

“Kuh-------“

But, that was all The uya fell to the ground after getting crushed by an invisible hand

“Guh……!”

Kaguya did not give up and raised her face but, she fell doithout able to do anything in front of her overwhel Territory

“Kaguya!”

At this rate, it’s dangerous for Kaguya and Yuzuru Faster than her words, Tohka kicked the ground and ran towards Origami

But, Tohka stopped far away froami------No, she was forced to stop because she was blocked by an invisible wall

It seeami expanded her Territory that far Her body lost its freedo her sword

“Kuh, Tobi+chi Origami, you…………!”

Even though she groaned painfully, Origahts back to the laser blade after preparing it again

“-----It was long I've finally obtained it The power to defeat Spirits----The power to grant my dear wish”

After h

It was as if she released all the last cloudy hesitation and doubt in her as a sigh

“I will regain myself with this attack I will defeat all the spirits in this world Never ain”

She sharpened her sights after telling that to herself, and poured strength into the hand holding the laser blade

“Tobi+chi Origami…………!”

Tohka shook her throat and called Origa Tohka’s body did not loosen even by a little

However, Tohka did not give up Tohka was the only one here that could fight Origauya, Yuzuru and Miku will definitely get killed

The current Origami will definitely do it And------once she achieved that, there was no mistake she will turn into a monster

Tohka didn't knohy But, Tohka did not want that to happen

“U----A-aaaaaahhhhhh!”

Tohka shouted and used all her power to escape the Territory’s binding

However----it was not enough The strong Territory which could not even be coami had, did not let loosen even by a little

It’s useless if she stays like that She can’t save in this situation

---She needed power A bigger power

“…………”

Thechill attacked Tohka

She knew this feeling A fewfeeling was quite close to what she felt back then when shi+dou was al killed by Ellen

So to her appeared inside her and it felt as if she was getting grabbed by a hand Her consciousness turned thin and instead, a scary feeling of herwas attacking her

Tohka clenched her teeth She had no idea what this feeling was But, she could guess what it was by instinct-----That poon’t save anyone

Tohka had to remain as herself

In order to save Kaguya

In order to save Yuzuru

In order to let Miku live

And also---for that girl

She was arrogant, violent, no sense of courtesy, foul-mouth, Tohka had no clue what she thinks about and she always disturbed Tohka; In order to grab the hands of the high-irl that Tohka really hates

Tohka had to re her sword

“shi+dou-----Lend th………!”

Tohka shouted shi+dou’s na strength into the hand holding it

“------Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

She i in herflow into her body

“……!?”

While holding Ya Yuzuru’s body but she frowned her eyebrows froht born in front of her

Thewith her Territory shouted, Tohka’s body started giving off a blinding light

The weird situation did not end at there Tohka’s feeling disappeared from the Territory she used to stop Tohka

No-----it was different Origaht It’s not like Tohka disappeared A part of the Territory wrapping Tohka was erased as if a hole was opened in it

“-----!!”

Nexthostility directed towards her and let go of the hand grabbing Yuzuru’z neck before juaht path while passing through

“Wha……”

The saami opened her eyes in confusion, Yuzuru’s body was released by her Territory and was falling to the ground but someone supported her body

The light was settling down and that person’s appearance could be seen

Origairl that appeared there

Her night colored hair was being played around by the wind She had crystal eyes silently staring at Origaht-----Yes It was Yatogami Tohka

But, the difference was the thing she earing now

On her shoulders, breast, and hips-----all those body parts had bluish purple arlow The absolute majestic appearance that was able to overpower anyone that sees it was completely different from the one Tohka had just now

---Astral Dress The absolute strongest arnifies a Spirit

It was not the liulped at that perfect and flawless appearance

The last tio

Before Yatogami Tohka transferred to school; it was the opponent that tried to kill Origaround park

---The sword spirit

was there

“That appearance……”

After Origami sharpened her expression and uya before cal her face

“Tobi+chi Origae------but, the [Hate] I have now is most likely different from the old [hate] I had So------“

“I will coami”

Tohka said that with a quiet----but however freezing tone

“………uh”

Just by hearing those words, Origaot shot

She had an overwhel forth despair A sword pressure that gave her a feeling that her head et sliced off if she relaxes even by a little attacked Origami’s whole body

“…………”

However, Origaa for instead

It was the strongest Spirit that cut down Origaami felt that she couldn't advance forward until she was finally able to bring down the perfect

“Haaa………!”

Along with letting out a strong shout, she concentrated her Territory to her body and equipth It was impossible to bind Tohka’s movement now even if she increases the deployment radius Since that was the case, rather than fruitlessly wasting her Maryoku, it’s sthen her defense

She swung her laser blade and that light blade headed towards Tohka After Tohka slightly twitched her eyebrows, she used <sandalphon> to block the attack

But, that hat Origaave a command in her mind and a part of the laser blade separated

The DEM created CR-unit <modred>’s main weapon <clarent> was a weapon that was able to transform into 2 forms, the Maryoku cannon <clarent cannon=””> and Laser blade <clarent sword=””> when she converts its main body within her Territory

However it was only converted to suitably match its respective performance and it was not like it loses its other ability after changing its form

Although a great aenerated Maryoku was needed to operate a denser Territory, it was possible to perfor on the way she does it

A splash of Maryoku light was shot upwards fro onto <sandalphon> and it scatteredTohka like rain

Of course, as it was a cannon attack while clashi+ng with Tohka, the poas not that high It was probably a pea shot that could easily be warded off by an attack with <sandalphon> under normal circumstances

But currently, that <sandalphon> was currently being suppressed by Origami If she recklessly tries to ward off that attack then she ami instead No matter what she picked, Tohka could not escape without suffering any dae

---That was supposed to happen

“Haaa!”

However, while still clashi+ng with Origa power to push Origae

“Kuh------“

She frowned her eyebrows and groaned Like she thought, Tohka’s Reiryoku and arth was in a completely different class than before She can’t win in a sile of her laser blade and deflected Tohka’s sword away before perfor a combo with a speed that could not be seen

Tohka was attacked several times with sword strikes that were able to annihilate a norrasp her sword movements and accurately block them all

“----Taaa!”

Tohka thrust <sandalphon> into the gap found in the co it in

“Kuh………”

However, Origami saw that attack and blocked it as well

Slam, slash upwards, thrust, mow, block and brandish doards

The stor both sides

---She can do this Origami clenched <clarent> harder

Their abilities are equal Origami was not the same as the ti

The current Origaht a Spirit in its perfect state

Hu this world

That was the wish Origa for

Origaami accumulated until noas not a waste

---CR-unit <aami Tohka, the Yaao

Yes------the Spirit froained information of that spirit's existence from Ellen Mathers

The specific appearance and its ability was unknown For information, it was only worth that much

But, it’s true that there was another Spirit other than freet> Itsuka Kotori in the city Confir into DEM’s intelligence

The current Origami can achieve it She can cut off that Spirits head if she finds her but-----

“Eh……?”

But, a violent headache struck Origami

For a ot slashed on her head but-----it rong This pain was clearly from inside her head

Next, her consciousness paused as if it got turned off and her sights were covered with red

“Ah----“

“Haaa!”

Tohka did not let that chance go Tohka perforami’s free torso

That absolute tyrant attack holds the power to destroy everything Just like leaves being played by the wind, Origaht line

The debris broken into several frag and reached a distance where she could not see Tohka anyround before finally lying down on the ground facing upwards

“Kuhah……”

Shethe Territory but, the dae to her whole body was serious
