Vol 24 Chapter 3 (1/2)
Chapter 3 - Goodbye, Encore, Afterwards
She felt pain in her chest
But, right now she couldn't slow her feet because of that kind of pain
Nina had a battle that she had to be in
She had a -cherished wish as well as the Electronic Fairies' desire
So, Nina didn't stop running
There was still a bit of distance with that flame beast that was like a e occurred before her
That was obvious
Because the place she wanted to go to was currently the center of the world
◇
Howto this road?
She had long since given up on anything like counting time
In order to wait for the day that had arrived today, how s had already been lost?
In order to obtain one thing, the resolution had beenthat she couldn't give up
Where had Saya gone after leaving Grendan?
She arrived there even earlier than Nina It wasn't such a difficult thing for her as the prototype of the Electronic Fairies and who had created this world
But, because she th, so the current Saya didn't haveability
Even so, the black-clothed girl still appeared there
Saya's ure appeared in the sky
It was above the beast of fla flah Saya was able to block the heat with her abilities, she was still helpless in the current situation
Even if she knew that things would become this way, Saya had still coly believed that she had to have co
The sky that had spat out the beast of flaain split apart
On the other side of the sky that was filled with various things, a black figure could be seen hiding a inexplicable colors
A face appeared fro space that originally should have split the world into two the figures of two people flew out
”Aien!” [1]
Countless, endless years were contained in that call
The emotionless, mechanical doll's call reached one of the hu to Saya
The huether
The airflow battered against a coat sleeve
”It's been a long time”
In this kind of noise-filled environs of affection
”Aien”
”Nn, Saya Though I'ain, we can't be this leisurely right now That guy is also here”
”Yes”
The beast of fla different froht before
”Aien, do you knohat that thing is?”
”Soe?”
”Yes”
The two of the battlefield, but one would feel that the conversation between thenasis was in his period of confinement, it could be said that on a mental level he was already dead”
”Was it really like that?”
”Yes But, the trouble was that that person see like a split body”
”That's the split body?”
”This thing doesn't know that it's a piece of Ignasis It only has a part of part of Ignasis's character, and though it's a dangerous being, it isn't an evil being”
”Aien, who did you learn this froh Also, Saya, you also encountered that person”
”Eh?”
”Ah, never e even if you knew, so you don't need to concern yourself with this”
”Aien is the one who's concerned”
”Probably”
During that conversation, the two of theerous
”Alright”
At that ti path, and the tho originally had been descending straight down suddenly moved out to the side
Saya looked, and noticed that fro the surface of the ground in the distance That vine was pulling Saya and Airen
The two of theround
”Next, Saya, since we've already confiro to a safe place, right?”
”I don't want to”
”Uh”
”I don't want to leave you anyh he said this, Airen, who had a single eye covered with an eyepatch, didn't look worried at all
”Ah, then we'll do this”
”Nn”
”Whether we live or die and disappear, we'll be together as two Ah, in that case I truly hope that I can choose the final ending”
”Nn>”
Saya nodded her head, and afterward two guns appeared in her hands
Saya had prepared weapons for him
In the past she had always stayed by his side, like now
Right now things had returned to nor, even in this hell of heat, Saya still felt incomparably satisfied
◇
Nina noticed the change as she ran
The sky split, and two figures flew into the sea of flae beca that assaulted Nina's entire body
Conscious that she was a single person, the feeling of tension that she endured even made her feel that her s to change like this
Who could she share this resolution with?
Of the figures that appeared in the sky, one of theht down, and in the end was devoured into the dancing walls of flaure that fell in a different direction suddenly changed its directiontowards Nina
”An enemy, huh”
Nina drove back the flame beasts while she advanced Because of the new obstacle that had appeared, she felt angry and tense
She would get rid of the opponent before she was driven back That idea made the current Nina act very naturally She was only able to do this because everything around her was an eneure that was drawing closer, so Nina released external Kei without saying a word
But she wouldn't have thought that the figure would evade her external Kei
The figure that avoided the Kei turned a loop, and then caught up to Nina as thinking of ignoring her and continuing to run, flying side by side with her
”How dangerous, I was al voice, Nina looked to the side Nina felt that this kind of voice that seemed as if it sank deep into one's heart was a bit familiar
”Nelphilia is it?”
”Yes I've ht?”
”Yes”
Nina felt loathing and confusion at her arrogance-filled voice
Past experience told Nina that she definitely couldn't look at her Nina focused her ht now, the flame beast would still attack Nina, and it was fortunate that she didn't have the tiirl
”Your relationshi+p with that red-haired idiot isn't bad”
Nina didn't instantly think of the answer as to who 'red-haired idiot' meant
But, there was only one red-haired person that she and Nina both recognized
”Are you speaking of senpai?” [2]
So devious in Nelphilia's voice So it was inore her
The answer that came up also made Nina concerned
When she had last seen him in Grendan hen he had entered a mysterious hole that appeared in the sky
At that time, hadn't Nelphilia also been there?
”Wasn't he with you at that ti that she clearly knew
That ry, and to be honest she kind of wanted to getforward
Though she didn't knohy she had appeared here, right now Nina didn't have the energy to pay attention to those eren't prepared to fight
”Don't you want to kno he is right now?”
”Right now I don't have the leisure to care about those things!”
Nina quickly refused Nelphilia's question
She didn't knohat her goal was, but right now she didn't have ti that I have to do”
”So that's how it is”
After saying this, Nelphilia went silent
But even with this, she still flew in the sky next to Nina There was so in Nelphilia's surroundings, and she was currently riding on that fog
”Ah, if you could get rid of that thing, then ood”
Nelphilia said this
Nina still didn't understand her ht now she didn't have ti away the flame beasts
She swept them away as she advanced
At soht now she didn't have tih that question wouldn't disappear froht now she had no leisure to consider it
Since even now, the fla her
The heat of the air had already reached the point where it could instantly kill someone If she didn't have Kei, Nina would have been incinerated in moments
If she stopped her feet, then the flame beasts would wipe her out, and if she lost focus then the heat would turn her into lava
It wasn't only a probles, but Nina's current situation also didn't allow her to stop
But, Nina didn't have any intention to stop since the beginning
She continued running
The fla in front of her also seee occurred around the flae after another could indicate that the situation was intensifying, Nina's tension had already begun inally chaotic flame and heat suddenly became as if they had a direction
Not only this, but it could be confirht all over the opponent It see
”Who is it?”
There shouldn't have been anyone who rushed out sooner than Nina
Then, this wasn't a Military Artist from there?
Could it be, that this wasn't even a Military Artist?
Perhaps it was an extraordinary being like Nelphilia that was fighting with the flame beast
She didn't knoho it was
But at thathappened inside Nina
Nina's heart, which hadn't been shaken by Felli and the others or Nelphilia, treh!”
Because Nina was the one as shaken theof crisis
”Urrrraaaaaaaaah!”
She roared
Increasing her speed andthe fla
Her speed was clearly not the sauarding Nina grew along with the increase of speed, raising their destructive force
The flay of Nina's shockwaves were run through, being ss one by one
Even with this, Nina still continued raising her speed
The strength of a Military Artist's body and Kei had li those li her speed
And then, Nina finally reached the et was the top of that body that towered in front of her like a tallthe fla stones, Nina finally reached there
”Finally”
The ht now she didn't have the energy to worry The heat of the fla to pull Nina into the abyss of death, and the continuously appearing flame beasts also slowly surrounded Nina
Most i that she had to do after co here
Moreover, she could hear sounds of battle that she didn't know the origins of
”Where is it?”
Nina sent the continuously approaching fla while she searched
Just at that tis like a forest began to shake violently, and a hole appeared, with so like a Kei bullet carved a slanting path, burying itself into the
Destructive shockwaves enveloped Nina, blowing away the surrounding fla destructive force
The thing that had buried itself was even now still penetrating the vast body of the beast, breaking it, and continuously going deeper, not seeht was on the level of Grendan's Heaven's Blade successors
It could even already have surpassed them
The destructive power in front of her was that strong
”Who is it?”
The Heaven's Blade successors should all be in Grendan, and ued because of the recent battle
Who could it be on this battlefield?
Nina continued searching, and on the other side of the flaure
There was a man and a woman in that space
The two of the the claws of flame The reason they could do this was because of the vine-like objects spread throughout their surroundings Though the flame tried to burn the vines, every time a new vine would extend into a new place, and they didn't show any signs of decreasing in number
The two of them moved the battlefield to the place where the new vines appeared while they fought
Thelike a pistol in his hand The recent destructive strike had coer
Nina looked at the wo carried on his left arm
She looked exactly the same as Nelphilia
But, they weren't the same
Nina instantly saw that they were different
Though they had the sas froirl carried in theoff the attacking flaes that flew out disappeared in a space so into a blackcarried by thewas that as the irl continuously changed her position and carried out shooting
Moreover, black s black un in her hands changed
It had just been firing high-speed bullets, and in the nextcannon, and had also turned into a h the air
Weapons that generally weren't used bycities because of their resource consuic
Though the feeling fro of Military Artists, they had a definite difference
It was an incredible feeling
But, right now she didn't have the leisure to feel confused at that incredible feeling
Coh it was so huge that it was easy to be mistaken about it, below her feet was the beast of flame that towered above the earth
”Haah!”
Kei crashi+ng, Nina swung her iron whips
The strength that she obtained froh her body, with the heat produced al her body
The iron whips that had been raised high were swung down
Nina challenged the giant beast
This was the strike sye
The iron whips sank deeply into the tough-feeling flesh, and a shockwave penetrated into the interior
The shockwave became destructive force that spread outwards
The spreading shockwave destroyed the coy released beca after, the released heat swelled outwards, diffusing out and dissipating its momentum
In other words, it exploded
That pillar of flah into the sky
That kind of explosion endlessly continued by Nina's side
A raucous howl came from the battlefield
It was the roar of the fla into the sky The burning waves that an to move in a frenzy
This wasn't a roar e
The anger that filled it became sound and was released, and even so, this roar still wasn't enough to release all of its anger Nina didn't plan on ending her attack here either
The battle of thethat she should concern herself about here
This being of flame wouldn't disappear no er
It could only turn its anger into destructive actions
That fla that could not be saved
Nina thought this
The feeling spread out fro on!?”
So, Nina shouted out
She used anger to confront anger
Even if she knew that this kind of action didn't have any , Nina still couldn't control herself
”Don't involve us just for this kind of thing!”
Nina shouted her thoughts froain ran out with the et
Nina had no idea whether this thing was actually an organis like a true life But, since it had a head, and enuine, she could believe that the beast's consciousness was housed in that area
”Then, I'll crush that place!”
Carrying out a thorough attack towards the weakness
That was a very correct battle plan
She no longer had any reason to think of other things, and the Haikizokus inside Nina's body also released their full power
”Dischale, Tentorium, Falysodam”
She called out their names
”Armadune”
Nina called out the names of the Electronic Fairies that she had inherited frorandfather
They who had been born in the Senou City had not chosen to becouides of cities but instead were Electronic Fairies that had dedicated everything for this day, her great-grandfather had said about the four Haikizokus in the past
”Melnisc”
An Electronic Fairy that had chosen to beco city, but who had in the end lost control fro because his city was destroyed, was also in Nina's body
A Haikizoku whose hatred for filth monsters and hatred for the culprit who had created filth th to lend to Nina
And also
