Vol 24 Chapter 2 (1/2)
Chapter 2 - GO GO GO
Information came piece by piece to Felli
The Psychokinesists in Grendan with Els their assistance Though they were currently using all of their power to regroup the Psychokinesists of the City Collective, in this period they still worked hard to gather information
The fla its area, as if continuously expanding like a wave
The method by which the flame spread wasn't a slow, circular expansion, but rather it becale location the farther it was froe that was a probleaps in the space between those waves
(Captain definitely entered through those gaps)
Putting her entireher body would beco So, Felli used the flake even to talk to Sharnid next to her
”Our Captain wouldn't just charge into soht?”
(That's not for sure)
”It is Nina, though”
Sharnid spoke up, having thought of things that had happened in the past
”Speaking of which, can we speculate a definite path of advance?”
That kind of thinking was hard to iine, and from the voice that came to Layfon from the other side of the Psychokinesis flake, he could feel a bit of coldness
Right now they were running on the ground, chasing after Nina
Thought they hadn't had the time to ready themselves completely, they didn't have time to be concerned with that either Probably the only fortunate thing was that Harley had prepared so h speed If we put these traces and the ether it may be possible to find a specific path)
”In that case”
(But, whether or not we can find a specific path is still an extremely difficult problem)
”Eh?”
”Nina's a lot faster than ho have to speculate here, that's the problem”
”Is, is that so”
(That's not the only situation)
Sharnid had spoken correctly, but there were still other issues
(Because the flame could have obstructed the Captain's advance in the first place)
”Yeah you said before that this wasn't an ordinary flame”
(After all, those were only my speculations)
In the end, the current distance between the Psychokinesis flake and the flaate the flame, and moreover, even if they drew closer to the flaet close because of the heat
Finally, the flaround, so the Psychokinesis flake couldn't get close so easily
”If there are no obstructions, about how long would it take to go there directly?”
(Are you talking about Captain?)
”Yes”
Felli thought for a bit about Layfon's question
On a motorcycle meant for the wilderness, the distance between the beast and Felli would probably require two days of riding
But, right now they didn't need to mind the presence of pollutants, and Military Artists could use their highest speeds
In that case, the necessary ti on the Military Artist's power
(With Layfon's current speed there will probably still be two hours)
”About the saht, It should be about that s
Then, what about Nina?”
(To be honest, I don't know either)
Felli told Layfon plainly
(I have no way to ascertain that person's current strength She see power just now)
”Speaking of which, why is that? Why would there be such a huge change in her power?”
(I fear that it's because of the Haikizoku)
Felli replied to Sharnid's question
”Right, it sees recently It's possessed Nina's body? Maybe there will be ” [1]
Sharnid shook his head, having thought of so the Haikizoku, one of Sharnid's good friends had fallen into misfortune, which hy Sharnid would show that kind of expression
(All we know is that there was only one Haikizoku possessing Captain's body, but right now that ht, that Electronic Fairy just now also said si had the presence of soht)
”Possess whatever possible, strengthen as endary hero so similar)
”Ha, that's really a method that Nina would like, that person likes duty the oes on then Captain won't be able to return)
”Right, she'll self-destruct this way Aah, daht”
(What is it?)
”It's really ironic The legendary hero defeats the demon lord, and the story just ends there, hooray hooray But no one knohere the hero goes after that, and no one pays any attention to it either Theis only that peace is restored to the world, and no one cares what the hero beco the peace? That's what people arrogantly believe”
(In other words, the situation becoh this is just a aaher, the hero is actually just a weapon against the deet, and no one expects her to do anything else”
(Is Captain being tricked?)
Was the Electronic Fairy na Nina?
If she requested that Nina lend theth for world peace, hoould Nina respond? Maybe she would hesitate a bit
But, in the end she would still lend theo back to think about things like what the true thoughts of the other side were, and unfortunately she would probably just think about whether or not she could truly do it while telling them that she would lend the told that outcome, Felli definitely believed that she would still do this If it were that person, it was possible
”I don't know It's also possible that she just charged out like a bullet after seeing so before her”
There was also that possibility
In any case, that was a possibility if it were her
”The things in Captain's body could be her great-grandfather's Haikizokus”
Layfon said this
◇
Layfon ran rapidly over the ground
On the always-dry ground, the sensation coiant piece of stone The dust covering the surface was bloay by the wind produced around his body before floating into his eyes
Before hih towith a flale color
It was only a matter of time before this entire scene was painted over by flame
(What do you mean?)
Felli raised a question to Layfon's words
”I want to focus a bit”
But, right now it seey to explain in words Layfon strengthened the awareness he directed towards his Kei in order to increase his speed again
There were randfather as known as Gildred, and what if those had all becoht of this
If it were truly like that, then that also explained why they couldn't see that old man at this kind of tis for the kind of situation today”
Thinking carefully, maybe that old man had only come near Zuellni because Lævateinn because Vati had been there
Gildred had come because he knew Vati's true identity
But, if that kind of battle happened in Zuellni, then in the end there would be huge da because he worried about this? Speaking of which, what had Vati been pursuing for her to coh the situation had already developed this far, there were still s that he didn't know
But, even so, he couldn't stop running right now, and he didn't have tiiant destructive power of the wave of flame before hiulfed by this wave, then Grendan and the other cities behind hiht there
Had Nina set out in order to resolve this crisis?
Or had Nina done this in order to defeat that beast of flame?
Perhaps, just like Felli and the others had said, Nina was only being fooled by Schneibel?
”Captain”
Layfon rapidly advanced
Continuously running with Nina as his target
From what time had he not been able to speak properly with her?
After that time in Grendan, Layfon had closed off his heart, and fro her own secrets
The opportunities for platoon activities had slowly decreased
Their living areas had changed, and though the distance between them should have decreased, the distance between hier
And in that period of time when they hadn't been able to talk, the distance between the two had somehow already been pulled that far apart
”damn!”
That distance made Layfon feel that the space between him and Nina was like a wall that had been built up by time It was hard to bear
For the first tiun in that battlefield city s that had come between the two of theardless of how he ry sounds, he couldn't increase his speed to the next level His current speed hadn't reached the li all of his strength before the battle started was less And precisely because of that reason, he could only raise his speed to this level right now
Layfon felt angry at his hesitant self after thinking of this Hishimself apart
(Please don't be that anxious)
At that tioal is to save Captain, if you can't strike our final target, then we ulti your power is a very necessary action)
”You're right”
Felli's wordsthat had been about to be crushed to pieces return back to calitated also normalized
(Do you want to save Captain?)
”It doesn't even need to be said”
Layfon was surprised at Felli's sudden question
(Hmm)
”What is it?”
(What do you think about Captain?)
”Eh?”
(I', do you like Captain?)
”Wuaahhhhhh!?”
Because Felli had suddenly said this, Layfon al
”That, that kind of thing”
(Could it be that you wanted to go save her without any of those kinds of e that, and Sharnid-senpai and Harley-senpai”
Everyone wanted to save Nina, and he definitely wasn't the only one thinking that Even Dalshena who hadn't been able to come here had said 'I leave it to you' to Layfon and the others However, she had held a strongly pained expression on her face for being unable to go
(Captain and I are companions, so it doesn't matter)
But Felli still went on
(There's nothing good to say about the other two Sharnid likes anyone who's a female, and Harley is a childhood friend Ah, he'll probably do so like this even if Captain looked at him like he was an alien)
”Why is your assesss don't ht now)
Layfon's question was easily killed
(The problem is with you What do you think?)
”Hasn't so si nothat kind of resolute reply, he couldn't find any other excuse
(Hurry and say it, what do you think?)
The pressure transmitted by the Psychokinesis flake made him feel like Felli herself was there, and Layfon was speechless
Right noasn't the occasion to talk about those kinds of things, and clearly he could resolve everything by saying a feords, but right now the reason he couldn't say those things was because of hiht have been able to alleviate Layfon's tension
Looking at it fro some of Felli's hidden tenderness
”Well The burden on ht now I still want to focus a bit, so could we interrupt this topic for now?”
(Really, alright then Then, why don't you try breathing deeply again?)
”Eh?”
(Hurry)
”That”
Guess he should just breathe deeply and see
Breathing deeply as he rapidly advanced over the barren earth towards the monster that wished to burn the entire world he couldn't do that kind of thing
Even so, he still tried challenging the deep breath to co around him blasted away the impurities in the air, and the sounds produced reached his ears in the first place, it wasn't a situation where he could leisurely breathe deeply, but the pressure of the Psychokinesis flake still told Layfon that he had to do it
”This?”
(Have you caluess I was a bit confused”
(Really? Then, please tell me the answer to my question)
”It's still not over!?”
(Of course it wouldn't end so simply)
The premonition that this topic wouldn't be resolved that he felt when Felli said this sentence disappeared after he felt an abnor, the air that he had felt abnormally quiet beca was very like the tense feeling before a swordfight, andsee is coes happened
◇
That report quickly came to the Military Arts heads of the City Collective
Of course, that included Alsheyra
(A change has occurred)
”Is the situation bad?”
Elsmau's voice sounded extremely tense
Alsheyra stood in the outskirts of the city
So, she had already caught the changes that Elsmau spoke of with her extraordinary vision
(The wave of flaed)
”Nn?”
(They have split into the appearances of organisms)
”Can we clearly see their formation?”
(Yes, we can)
”I feel that it's better to let the Heaven's Blades that can act stand in the front, and the other Military Artists follow behind Even if there's a li we can stay here, we can just let the Heaven's Blades charge out, and I will also follow”
(Is that alright?)
”What do youthe city)
Els she orried about
Alsheyra's command didn't have half a trace of worry about the half-de happened, then the city could be completely destroyed
”Most of the residents have already gone to the shelters, do you think there's anything else we need to protect?”
(Could it be that you don't have any feelings for Grendan?)
”I can't do anything about things that have broken Moreover, I think that right noe don't have the energy to think about what happens afterwards, right?”
(Understood)
”Then our resting ti this, Alsheyra's feet stopped on the outermost portion of the outskirts, and she leaped out
◇
There was a person who saw the flaes from a very close distance
Of course, that person was Nina
The only sounds surrounding Nina as rapidly advancing were the sounds that she produced
There was no Psychokinesis flake, nor was there Schneibel's voice The Haikizokus blazing with Kei inside her also kept silent
During the process of her silent advance, Nina saw the change
In front of her advancing path, there was a wave of flaround as it drew closer had the pressure of a giant anies
Though Nina had chosen to avoid the advance path of the flahtly adjusted her course
Nina adjusted her course towards the flaiant clu to happen that she had no choice but to face
Nina felt this way
”U was correct
The violently approaching cluster of fla into pieces
Not long afterwards, it had becoroup of beasts focused their fiery gazes on Nina's body, and attacked
Wordlessly, Nina readied her iron whips
Though she was running rapidly, Nina's breathing was regular She continuously controlled her Kei, li inside her
A portion of it flowed into her two iron whips
The iron whips that she had received from Zuellni completely absorbed her Kei
And then, she struck
The iron whips that had silently been swung out were propelled forward, and Nina's figure disappeared a air
Combined Internal and External Kei variant - Raijin
The Kei technique that she unleashed bleay the attacking beasts of flame in an instant
After they flew out, they were run through by the iron whips
But, not all of the fla fla closer, as if it had been released froun
That continuously stretching fla siround
Nina's Raijin wanted to pierce that endlessly dividing cluster of flame
The fla thehtning Perhaps her confrontational strength looked extreht about were indeed intense
Nina's lightning split the fla away one by one the flame beasts that assaulted her
The flame beasts were crushed, and their fla continuously advanced without stopping its momentum, and finally smashed the main body of flaure appeared fro She didn't slon at all, but i
She didn't turn around
At the saht
She only looked ahead
Only at that giant beast that wanted to burn the entire world, even now still constantly releasing fla will be over”
In order to keep fro, Nina spoke quietly
Nina didn't kno she could use that sincere determination housed in her body, and only continued to run
◇
The released flame had all become flame beasts
(Their speed has increased)
Felli as constantly observing quickly noticed that fact
(The flame beasts have a certain heat when they split off The heat for each one is lowered, and there should be many more Military Artists who can endure that heat)
”Rather than that, an explosion occurred quite far ahead”
(Yes)
Felli confirht just now It should have been Captain who did it)
”Let's go there”
(Understood)
After confirathered infor
If this went on they wouldn't catch up
The situation didn't only depend on the speed between Layfon and Nina, but the obstruction of the flame had also pulled open the distance between the two
As if seizing the opportunity to act, the flas
Everythe space directly between Layfon and Nina red
If the power of the tere siree, and if the speed at which they destroyed the divided beasts wasn't too different, then the distance between theht, Layfon couldn't have a similar power to Nina who had several Haikizoku inside her
Nina was fighting, but Layfon was just running without fighting
If that state could be continually s won't develop that smoothly”
Felli whose ht let those words slip out without noticing They weren't through Psychokinesis, but rather were spoken directly fro troublesome?”
Sharnid hadn'tof how to assist Layfon well”
After being irritated for a while, Felli verbally described the current situation She didn't use Psychokinesis because she feared that if Layfon heard their conversation, it would produce unnecessary worry
”That's really troublesome”
Sharnid shook his head with a distressed expression
”I guess if they arrive at the same time it should be fine The opponent won't force Nina to self-destruct before he sees her power, I think”
”Even if Layfon himself can't do it, can you send a Psychokinesis flake to Nina first?”
Harley spoke
”If you tell the situation to her, I think even Nina ant to form up with us”
”Maybe that could work But to actually do that kind of thing”
Sharnid suddenly stopped halfway
”What is it?”
Seeing Sharnid's change, Felli raised the question
”Is it enough as long as we send it over?”
”What way do you have?”
”Well, there's only one thing I'estured to his own restored Dite
It wasn't a sniper rifle It was the un Harley had created that he had used to send the Dite to Layfon
”Use this guy to shoot it out”
”Can it reach?”
”In any case, just relying no the ht?”
”Though that's indeed true”
Right now the front-line situation was being gathered through the Psychokinesis flake with Layfon
Even if it couldn't catch up to Nina, as long as they could increase the number of Psychokinesis flakes on the frontline, it was so to be thankful for
(We on this side will also help with that battle plan)
At that time, Elsmau's voice joined in
In order to share infory to listen to us talking here?”
(Though I don't have y, I listened for a bit because I don't knohere a chance to win ht be concealed)
Els as if she never joked, and it couldn't be figured out whether she was truly listening to the battle plans of every Military Artist nearby
Even Felli felt a headache just thinking about it
(It's also our desire to have a large quantity of Psychokinesis flakes on the frontline)
Els to do?”
(We're also preparing a launcher to use Kei bullets to send the Psychokinesis flakes out)
”In that case, do as you wish”
