Chapter 5: The Light that Splits the WindPart 1

The forest that separated the Southern part and the Northern block of Arubi Island was being mowed down by a violent hurricane.

Healthy green leaves and branches, that appeared at the same time as summer, were now being blown and ripped into bits, and were thrown up into the sky, spinning as if they were thrown into a mixer. Slender trees were being dug out and were being thrown around the surroundings like bullets.

This was exactly what the march of an outraged berserker means. The incarnation of violence without reason, was all one could see with their eyes.

Who on earth could imagine this outcome.

——the main reason for that sudden storm was brought forth by a big fight between two young girls.

"——I thought about this before! You burden yourself alone and plan to deal with it!"

As Kaguya was thrusting her giant lance while shouting, the tip of the lance spun with high-speeds like a drill and produced a tremendous tornado.

She mowed down the lance pointing towards Yuzuru, as if she was going to clean sweep everything with the tornado.

"Objection. That word, Yuzuru will return it back to Kaguya with a present wrapped in excessive wrappings and have a paper card and ribbon attached on it………..!"

But Yuzuru, even though she was being approached with a cluster of destructive wind, was extremely calm and made a complicated move with her left hand.

When she did that, the pendulum Yuzuru was holding, squirmed around like it had a mind of its own and formed a magic circle in front of Yuzuru. After it easily blocked the tornado attack whirled up by Kaguya, it once again returned to its string state and then turned into a spiral state wrapping Yuzuru's body surroundings.

"You are too kind! Since I am willing to hand over the seat of the main personality, you should just quietly accept it!"

"Reject. From the start, Yuzuru had no intentions to be the main personality."

"……………, how many hardships did you think I suffered losing skillfully in our matches until now!"

"Objection. That also goes for Yuzuru too. Even though Yuzuru managed to gain losing marks, it is not once or twice Kaguya made Yuzuru irritated for not attacking back."

"The Yamai is the king of hurricane that knocks down all creation! Aren't you the only one suitable to be that!"

"Deny. That is a mistake. The true name of the Yamai, should be gained by Kaguya."

"uh, even though you can fly faster than me!"

"Kaguya is the one that has more power than Yuzuru."

"Even though you have better style than me!"

"Kaguya has prettier skin."

"Even though you are cuter!"

"Objection. Yuzuru cannot yield to that. It is obvious Kaguya is much cuter than Yuzuru."

While exchanging words that sounded like a quarrel or not, Kaguya's lance, that was spinning in high revolution, and Yuzuru's string, that was complicatedly made into a sword, clashed together. The power was completely equal. The moment of impact, the wind at the surroundings turned wild and attacked Shidou.

"Kuh…………………!"

Shidou curved his body while supporting Tohka, and somehow managed to resist it.

If his body did not have the protection of a Spirit then Shidou would have probably been blown away by the wind by now. He was very confident of that because, the fight between these two——to put it correctly, the byproducts in the sidelines that were dragged into it would suffer terrible damage.

Each time these two's Angels clashed, sudden gusts would spread around and surrounding objects nearby would be plucked out from their roots and blown away.

But Shidou shook his head as if to shake away these thoughts, and glared at both of them as he somehow resisted the wind and raised his body.

"Why………………"

Kaguya wants Yuzuru to live, Yuzuru wants Kaguya to live.

Both of them, thought this thoroughly about each other.

That is——for the sake of the other, one would throw away even her own life.

But even so, why.

"Why——did things turned out this way…………..!!"

Shidou raised shouts that would only crush his throat.

"Stop! Both of you! You guys, don't you love each other very much!"

He shouted but, there was no reaction coming from those two.

Whether it was because of the sound of the wind that Shidou's voice vanished or, they could only hear each other's offences and defenses inside their dreams, or——they were ignoring him. Although he could not distinguish which one it was but, it was certain Kaguya and Yuzuru were still going to continue their intense fight.

"Guh……………."

He was too powerless. Shidou covered his face with his hands while grinding his teeth.

And then——

'shidou! Be careful! There is something here!"

Coming from his side, Tohka's voice echoed and made Shidou twitch his shoulders.

He then looked around at his surroundings——and raised his eyebrows.

"Wha……………"

During the few seconds Shidou was chasing Kaguya and Yuzuru with his sights.

As if to surround Shidou and Tohka, around 10 humanly shaped shadows were standing in a row.

No——wrong. Their bodies had limbs and a head just like a normal human body but, their shape was obviously different than those of a human's.

They had a slender body and a smooth head similar to a full face helmet, they also had legs with joints facing the opposite direction compared to humans and they were stepped firmly into the ground. Opposed to that, their arms were large, and through this they gave an impression of being unbalanced.

Putting all of that in place was a glassy and smooth polished metal armor.

And also, he saw CR-unit looking parts on their bodies.

"Wha,what…………are these guys!"

In a hunchback-looking posture, he felt a mysterious unknown fear coming from the group of dolls that were gradually closing their distances, Shidou released a voice that sounded like a groan.

"DD-007 <bandersnatch>……………….even if I say that, you still would not understand."</bandersnatch>

<bandersnatch>When he said that, in response to the scream-like voice, a young girl walked out from the background of the dolls.</bandersnatch>

<bandersnatch>——it was the attendant cameraman, Ellen Mathers.</bandersnatch>

<bandersnatch>"Ellen…….san?"</bandersnatch>

<bandersnatch>When Tohka and Shidou let out their voices at the same time, Ellen made an exaggerated nod.</bandersnatch>

<bandersnatch>"You finally came to a place with no people, Tohka-san. It looks like there is one unnecessary person here but——well, if that is all then it is still okay, I guess."</bandersnatch>

<bandersnatch>She said that and took a glance at Shidou, she then snorted uninterested.</bandersnatch>

<bandersnatch>"However, I am surprised. To think those two were Spirits. ——and what's more, it's the primary target, the <berserk>. It seems like they're good compensation for all that piled up misfortune."</berserk></bandersnatch>

<bandersnatch><berserk>He unintentionally frowned. ——just now this girl called Kaguya and Yuzuru <berserk>.</berserk></berserk></bandersnatch>

<bandersnatch><berserk><berserk>"You……….who on earth are you. Don't tell me you're from the AST………….!?"</berserk></berserk></bandersnatch>

<bandersnatch><berserk><berserk>When Shidou shouted full of detest, Ellen moved her eyebrows as if it were the first time she found Shidou interesting.</berserk></berserk></bandersnatch>

<bandersnatch><berserk><berserk>"You know of the Anti-Spirit team of the JGSDF huh. ——but, sadly that is off"</berserk></berserk></bandersnatch>

<bandersnatch><berserk><berserk>She hung out her hand after saying that and as if following with that, the dolls called <bandersnatch>lowered their posture all at once and leaped towards Shidou and Tohka's direction.</bandersnatch></berserk></berserk></bandersnatch>

<bandersnatch><berserk><berserk><bandersnatch>Shidou immediately gasped instinctively and closed his eyes.</bandersnatch></berserk></berserk></bandersnatch>

<bandersnatch><berserk><berserk><bandersnatch>But, even after a few seconds, there was no impact running at his body.</bandersnatch></berserk></berserk></bandersnatch>

<bandersnatch><berserk><berserk><bandersnatch>He slowly opened his eyes thinking it was weird, and over there was,</bandersnatch></berserk></berserk></bandersnatch>

<bandersnatch><berserk><berserk><bandersnatch>"Mu…………..are you alright, shidou."</bandersnatch></berserk></berserk></bandersnatch>

<bandersnatch><berserk><berserk><bandersnatch>Manifesting a limited AstralDress around her yukata, Tohka was there holding a glowing sword <sandalphon>in her hands.
