Vol 24 Chapter 2 (2/2)
If they were just taking the plans that this side had thought of, they could do that however they liked
Felli's probleet Layfon to catch up to her
(We will do that Also, if there's so that we here can unite for, please tell me, and maybe we can help you)
”Eh?”
(If you want to send a Psychokinesis flake to your companion, we can utilize one of the Heaven's Blades)
”That”
(If it's Barher possibility of sending the flake than your group)
”No, it's alright”
(Is that okay?)
”Thank your for your offer, but you should already be extremely busy on that side So please don't worry about us”
(Understood)
Els Felli's expectations
(But, if you need so, please do not be concerned, and say it)
(This is a battlefield, and there is no battlefield to neglect one's allies)
”Thank you very ht that could be felt in Elsmau's words
But, even so
”Hey, isn't that way better? Felli-chyan”
As Els for a reply, Sharnid opened his mouth
”Are you not confident that you can send it?”
”To be honest, I can't do that kind of thing”
”But, right now there's only you”
”But that's not the only way”
”If other people have that energy, I'll also try them”
”But didn't the other side propose that theer towards Sharnid's negative attitude
”Only we can save Captain Isn't that why you're here?”
”I understand that too”
”Hey, hey”
At that time, Harley inserted hiht noe can still try and see if we can increase the flight distance”
”Please don't spend too lance at Harley who took the Dite fro on Psychokinesis infor
How could they send it to Nina?
Or, how could they get Layfon to catch up to Nina?
There were only those two questions in Felli's mind
”Hey, what's up with Felli-chyan?”
Sharnid spoke quietly next to Harley as squatting doorking
”Nn”
Harley could only shory s impulsive”
”For what?”
”To save Nina, and to becoth”
”Hah?”
”Because of those two things, her h he understood thebehind Harley's' words, Sharnid still shook his head and made an expression as if he were unable to accept that
”Does she unnecessarily believe that only we can do this because she knows about too h Psychokinesis?”
”Maybe it's like that”
”We really lost to her We don't have that kind of superhuht?”
They had seen Layfon's battles in Zuellni, and before that they had seen the battles of Heaven's Blade successors in Grendan
Sharnid was already very clear on what kind of beings Military Artists who had honed their Military Arts to the extremes were
Even if they all bet their lives on this battle, Sharnid didn't kno much he and the others really do
To save Nina, he had to go do what he could
”But, I don't think it's right that we don't need any help”
”I also understand that In order to reach our goal, we shouldn't actually care so h he said this, Harley's hands still hadn't stopped, and in order to raise the functions of the Dite in his hand asany methods he could think of
”But”
”What?”
”If we can, I also want to do it just relying on ourselves I also understand that kind of feeling very well”
”You”
”Senpai, you're a bit useless, huh?”
”Aah?”
”I always feel that you want to be cooler when you're with Layfon”
”Harley, don't think you can preach to me”
”Guah”
Harley, whose forehead was flicked, fell over
”If you say that, then I'll show you - Sharnid-senpai's beautiful perfor on you”
”Alright, leave it tothe fierce Sharnid, Harley showed a happy smile
◇
Harley's un is a slightly special gun that I had alanted to try, but”
”If you want to explain, then pleaseand boring, Felli warned hihtly disappointed Harley's hands was an extreun had been split into two parts, and that was because the goal of this gun wasn't to shoot a Kei bullet, but to shoot a Dite
This was a gun Harley had invented in order to send Dites to Layfon
”To explain siun meant for Military Artist use, it can't shoot a bullet without a certain ath, and it can't be loaded with ed that, to where it can be filled as much as possible”
”Asthis, Harley took out the clip of the gun
The bullets embedded inside the clip could be seen
”I've resolved the feeling of putting aside Kei for every single bullet So, you can use your Kei toadjustments For example, it can be used for the desired distance this tiun can be increased”
”And then?”
”No far the bullet can fly depends on Sharnid-senpai's Kei power and technique, and it should be easier to use than before”
”Really”
Sharnid didn't seeun
Even Felli understood clearly that he was in an extreht now
”How's Nina's position?”
”We've already got her approximate position”
Felli used her Psychokinesis flake, showing Sharnid an ih he said this, Sharnid still stood on the outskirts, readying the gun
”Let me first try a test shot”
”Understood”
After Harley replied, he gave the Dite to him
A Dite in its unrestored state was loaded into the double barrel, and Sharnid could feel that the air around hi a state of extreme focus
Felli held her breath, and even Harley watched without htly, and he repeated slight adjustht of Kei filled the gun barrel
Coht, the sound released was unexpectedly small because the compressed air was released
No one could follow the speed with his eyes
But, Felli's psychokinesis caught the trail of the Dite that was shot out
After the Dite flew high into the sky, it formed a parabolic arc
But the place the Dite fell was a place that still couldn't reach Nina
That result was displayed on the ie, and after Sharnid saw it he wordlessly loaded the next Dite
After adjusting slightly, he fired
It still wasn't enough
”Good”
After he said so that seemed like that, he quickly loaded the next Dite
His adjustht, and there wasn't er
Wouldn't they fail this way That kind of anxious feeling entwined around Felli Never mind Nina, the two test shots up to now hadn't even reached Layfon's area
Though they were test shots, if this went on they would fail when it was time for the real shots
It seehts, or perhaps he hadn't
What happened afterwards was as if he were teasing Felli
He pulled the trigger
”Uwah!”
Thatthrown backwards
Harley's cry was drowned out by the sound of the shot, and the calm sound like coed into a strong gunshot intense enough to hurt the ears
”Wah!”
The giant noise that suddenly occurred made Felli cover her ears
Even in this kind of situation, her mind was still filled with infor the path of Sharnid's test shot
This tiher than the previous two, and then descended
The result
”What is it so suddenly?”
Layfon's voice was transh Psychokinesis
”Ah, that's just a warmup Use it whenever you like”
”Then, I'll use it just in case”
Sharnid showed a s the conversation with the confused Layfon
Layfon was focusing on pursuing Nina, so right now he didn't have extra energy to listen to their situation
But, Felli had so that she wanted toHands, you've seen it before” [2]
”Ah”
She thought of it
When they went to Grendan to save Nina, Sharnid had wielded a power that they had never seen in him until then
”That wasn't just coincidence, huh”
”Though I don't really want anyone to know about this, we can coht?”
”Of course! It should be about ti this, Sharnid took so from Harley
It was a box very similar to an unrestored Dite, and the inside was filled with as ht even if we can't send it to Captain herself, as long as it surpasses her current location, and as long as a single flake reaches her”
”I know”
Sharnid interrupted Felli's words, entering a focused state
Right now all Felli could do was hold her breath as she watched the outcome from the side
In the period of time that seeer pulled the trigger
The overflowing light was strong enough to even un had exploded, and the box inside was shot out froht The box in which Felli's psychokinesis had been placed drew out a line with an even sh the sky, and after reaching a peak even higher than before, it began descending towards the vast earth
Beautiful
After that path appeared in Felli's mind, she secretly mumbled The path that Sharnid had shot had perfectly surpassed Nina's position as predicted by the the path that Felli had predicted, falling into the battlefield where fla
The shock produced froround made the box bounce The box opened, and the Psychokinesis flakes flew out
What came afterwards was Felli's job
The Psychokinesis flakes that flew out quickly becathened
At the sa after, she saw her figure
The surrounding flame swirled, filled with heat, and the beasts for this, Nina fought while advancing
The shockwaves produced by her rapid running bleay the heat and fla flame beasts that were penetrated by the shockwaves were then sent flying by the iron whips That kind of battlefield seemed simply otherworldly, and when she found the continuously battling Nina, Felli felt as if her own breathing would stop
She wondered in her heart whether Nina had beconized
Perhaps because she was possessed by several Haikizokus, Nina had been altered by their Kei and ht have become a monster herself - Felli considered this
But, she didn't have that kind of feeling
The appearance of Nina in battle was indeed a bit frightening, but froe
Then, what about the interior?
(Captain!)
Felli firmly positioned a Psychokinesis flake on her predicted path ofout
Whether it was because of the sound on the battlefield or not, the sound didn't reach, and Nina didn't nored Felli's Psychokinesis flake and prepared to continue forward
If things were like this then Sharnid's hard ould be for nothing
(Captain!)
Felli called out again while carrying out the next preparations
Nina didn't notice her
Or perhaps, she didn't want to pay attention
Was she intentionally ignoring Felli, thinking that she should resolve everything herself?
(Captain!)
How can I let you do that
Felli continued calling out, while changing the positions of her Psychokinesis flakes
The flakes that had been positioned in the error boundary of the predicted path were all hurriedly recalled, and gathered together
They would get here
All of the Psychokinesis flakes gathered in the place where Nina was most likely to be
Moreover, they didn't just wait there, but rather they fleards Nina
Because there were twisting shockwaves by Nina, if norot close to her they would be shattered in moments
This was the sa Military Artist didn't use their own techniques to neutralize the shockwaves, and since she couldn't expect Nina to do that right now, Felli could only rely on herself to think of so
In other words, she had to think of a way to neutralize the shockwaves
Felli let the Psychokinesis flakes for at Nina
Of course it wouldn't only just charge over there
She also used her Psychokinesis to for it surface
It was a heavy reflective filotten close
She could see Nina breaking through the flaree of error before the inforh this was a very short tih of an error to become fatal
Because of this error, the an up to when the results appeared disappeared
”Ugh!”
A less noise reverberated in Felli's mind Felli who stood on Zuellni's outskirts felt as if she were about to lose consciousness
Felli maintained her fuzzy consciousness with all of her power, and she clenched her lips, the taste of blood spreading on her tongue
Hoas the situation?
What had it becoroped for the truth in her inforree of Psychokinesis that cah told Felli that there were notShe feared that alh the shockwaves and had been s flakes?
Where were the flakes that had acted as the agents to transradually beco?
Or?
(Captain, please respond)
Grasping at straws, Felli spoke
”Felli”
There was a response
It was Nina
The plan had succeeded
Felli's Psychokinesis flake had reached Nina
(Captain, what are you planning?)
”Felli, I' then please talk about it later”
Hearing Nina let out these kinds of words with some difficulty, Felli confirmed the current situation of her Psychokinesis flakes
There was only one reht
More importantly, Nina hadn't taken that flake, but rather it had luckily caught on her clothing
Her two hands hadn't released the iron whips for a moment
Perhaps the battlefield on that side was intense to that degree
Perhaps it was truly only that?
Because of the speculation that swar
(Captain, please listen, you're being used)
”Did you say I' used?”
(Yes, the Electronic Fairy is)
”It doesn'tme”
(Eh?)
”Everyone would use someone else for their own means As for how you see it, that just depends on the differences between people's point of view”
”Hey hey, right noe're not talking about that kind of thing”
Nina's voice was broadcast out, and Sharnid who heard her voice let out a helpless sound
”Right noe aren't talking about the problems in huht now I have no tis!”
”Listen, Nina, your life is in danger”
”Since the s aren't like that!”
Even at Harley's words, Nina still didn't stop
Her stubborn attitudeFelli and the others become heavy
”Captain”
At that time, a third voice entered, not from Felli and the others, nor from Nina
It was Layfon
”Layfon”
”Captain, right now I'roup up with you, can you wait a bit for me there?”
”I can't do that In order to resolve this situation as soon as possible, Iyou, the situation will definitely go more smoothly”
”No, the battle this time isn't that si on the seventeenth platoon!”
Not only did that sentence stab Felli, but it affected everyone else as well
Never mind Sharnid and Harley, it was so even for Layfon
”I can only do the things that had been entrusted to s outside of that I can't do them!”
(Captain!)
Felli who felt some kind of unclear premonition called out
But, all she received was noise Though she didn't feel as if she were about to faint the second time, her head still felt extremely painful
The Psychokinesis flake had left Nina's body, and then been smashed by her shockwaves
Felli went slack for a time
Part of the reason was the pain created by the recoil from the Psychokinesis flake, but of course, it wasn't only this
The surrounding silence was definitely froirl”
The first to speak was Sharnid
”Though, I thought long ago that things ht become like this”
Harley also raised his head to look at the sky
”It's way too close to expectations, what a joke”
”To think it would differ by this little, how incredible”
”Incredible enough to be annoying”
It was unusual that even Layfon participated in the conversation
(There's nothing incredible or not incredible)
Felli who had overcome her pain with difficulty opened her s she wanted to say
There was a lot that she wanted to say
(Though, we knew long before that this idiot wouldn't hear other people's words at all as long as she had her own thoughts, and would charge forward single-mindedly)
”Nn, Felli-chyan, co on a sorrowful expression along while cootistic style is ridiculous)
”Why does it feel like I'h Felli also secretly wanted to say 'that's how it is' to the cowardly Layfon, she held back for now
(But, co even harder to bear)
”That's right”
”Those words were indeed toocould be done relying on the seventeenth platoon
They definitely couldn't forgive anyone, even Nina, for those words
Regardless of if Nina had formed the seventeenth platoon, they couldn't permit that even for Nina herself
(Let that idiot look well at what kind of platoon the seventeenth platoon is)
”Yes”
”Well said”
”Alright, this time let's make Nina lower her head and say to us 'Please let me be your Captain'!”
(Not a bad proposal)
Spirits high, the seventeenth platoon once again began to act
