chapter 106

“82, tch!”

I pulverized the head of a crimson Magical Girl with a high roundhouse kick .

*Bakyuu* along with such a sound her brain fluid was splattering and the Magical Girl was falling .

This space was probably as wide as Tokyo Dome’s ground .

On the ground and on the walls of the hemisphere was coated with light pink meat and you can see huge blue and crimson veins around the place .

Leaving aside the blood from the Magical Girls I’ve slain, the smell of blood since the beginning has irritated me .

Basically, to the very end, this is putrid…

And then I looked at the center and glared at the flesh lump that appeared to be Himiko’s core .

A radius of 70 centimeters and 2 meter high of flesh lump .

Probably, in the center Himiko’s clone is stored or possibly that flesh lump itself is Himiko’s—–No, the system’s core .

While annihilating the Magical Girls who assault me sporadically I’m moving bit by bit to the core .

And then from behind me, *Byuu* came a murderous sound .

While dodging the luging sword I rolled forward .

“Magical Arrow”

I prepare my special bow and shoot behind me while rolling .

“Gugyaa”

The heart of the Magical Girl that has a sword was pierced and she dies .

This is 83 .

Currently, more than 200 Magical Girls surround me with a radius of 30 meters .

At the beginning I used Second Burst then plunged deep into the center of enemies and from there I fired a volley with the bow with a radius of 20 meters .

With this 50 of the 300 were destroyed and I was able to create a diversion effect, too .

Even I can’t deal with them if they possibly swarm me with their overwhelming number .

But, at the start of the bombing the enemy had adopted a wait and see strategy .

And when they came attacking me there were only 2~3 bodies at best .

Anyhow, probably they’ve learned that if they go all at once they’ll receive an attack in an area .

I’m extremely grateful to them since it requires preparations for a large-scale attack .

And then, the most grateful thing is that these Magical Girls can not use more than Second Burst .

At this rate… I have a chance of winning if I’m decreasing their number bit by bit and them attacking sporadically .

“That being said, well… I don’t think that it’s going to be easy . ”

Did the enemy notice that they were falling into a situation which was getting worse for them or possibly did they realize that arrow volley can not be fired in succession…

Anyhow, they’ve been walking slowly at me with a number of over 100 .

The encirclement range shortened from 30 meters to 20 meters, and then they stopped walking at that point .

They probably have noticed the effective range of my range attack .

However, several seconds later… They took up a crouching start simultaneously .

And then, they kicked the ground—- 100 Magical Girls came flying at me right away .

“Aren’t you guys like summer insects flying in the fire?”

Honestly speaking, I’m grateful that they’re attacking all at once in this timing .

My range attack has finished charging already, fascinating them to the very last minute and then if I activate the range attack right away then they’ll be dropping like crane flies .

“Magical Arrow— Rainfall!”

The moment I tried to change to range attacks—Maki-ane appeared in front of me .

“Eh…!?”

It’s not the Maki-ane as an older woman, but it is Maki-ane when she had her lustrous skin and her adorned purple clothes in the past .

But, her pupils didn’t have the will of the past; they were shallow .

Thinking about it now, naturally it would be like that .

Successive Magical Girls are used here so naturally Maki-ane would be here too .

But, that’s not Maki-ane that I know anymore… She’s the ruin of what I once knew .

However, her appearance had enough of an impact to make me hesitate…

“Shit!”

The time I froze was for several seconds .

But, on the battlefield that time is plenty fathal .

From behind a sword was being lunged .

Second burst’s defense barrier —- The overly frilly clothes have been cut .

From the front a spear was being thrusted .

Second burst’s defence barrier —- The overly frilly clothes have been pierced, I dodged the spear and flew upwards .

Because of the turbulence my long range attacks that required preparations were nullified .

My available no-motion attacks— I repeatedly fire arrows one by one .

84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90!

And then from the top I began descending .

91, 92, 93, 94, 95!

I fired arrows on the area at my landing place but unfortunately there were many opponents there .

No, there are too many . I wasn’t able to guarantee safety at the landing place .

Damn… I feel like Kandata climbing the spider’s silk .

Under my eyes many of the dead are clinging on the spider’s silk— And then many hands are being held out .

At this rate if I fall, my life will be gone .

And then, at the same time I was landing on the ground; all were coming to attack me .

“Burst Second: Perfect Cross Form!”

A technique that discards all offensive functions of the Magical Girl armament and gives absolute defence for 10 seconds .

At the same time I landed many swords were heading for me .

But…

The Magical Girls probably judged that their attacks won’t work too . And, that time is limited too .

The Magical Girls were coming to coil on my limbs .

Like this, I am going to get pulled down to the ground by the countless Magical Girls .

And, it will all be over when the absolute defence effect wears off .

— Is this it?

I made a mistake in judgement .

In this situation even if I do Full Burst… Nothing will change .

My speciality as a Magical Girl to my utmost best is wide-range attacks with a bow .

I can’t use that when the distance is closed and being cluttered by numbers .

I should’ve used Full Burst from the very start…

I laughed in self-mockery .

—In the end, my resolution was not enough .

Although I received the baton from Maki-ane, I have yet to confront this place with my life on the line .

After using Full Burst and if I destroyed the system’s core, I’ll still turn into an old woman…

The result is this mess .

“I’m sorry… Maki-ane… It seems I wasn’t able to change anything…”

Remaining time to the absolute defense technique is 3 seconds .

The unavoidable and certain death is coming .

My opponents like they understood except the ones that were holding me, they licked their lips and were preparing their weapons .

–3

–2

–1

The remaining seconds of the absolute defense passed .

All sharp weapons were lunged at me, and then—

“Great Explosive Talisman: Megiddo!”

Three talismans were thrown before my eyes and in the next moment the Magical Girls surrounding me had been blown off .

“Good grief, you overdid it . The little sister was also caught up in . ”

“Don’t worry . I judged that the little sister wouldn’t be burned if the magical defense barrier was of that level . ”

“Rather… didn’t you misjudge?”

“Well, I’m confident in dealing with the level of tactics . Trust me . ”

A blonde girl holding a crimson spear and wearing clothes that are unique to the Vatican .

And then, a long black haired girl holding a japanese sword in one hand and in the other hand a dozen talismans while wearing shrine maiden clothes .

“Firepower that breaks through the perfect cross form? Haha… What kind of joke is this? It’s the same technique but… It’s a different level from the JSDF member as before . ”

My whole body was slightly burned .

I received a bit of damage, but… Certainly the Megiddo didn’t scorch me but exterminated the ones clinging onto me .

I stand up and look at both of them .

“Why are you here?”

These people are in the same school as Onii-chan .

They asked for cooperation just a moment ago but I refused since I couldn’t trust in the local organizations…

“As I said before, Himiko’s— No, the system core’s destruction matches our interests . ”

Er… Abeno-san shook her head left and right .

“That is irrelevant . You are Morishita-kun’s little sister, right?”

Why’s Onii-chan’s name brought here?

I don’t get it well but I nod .

“In that case, we have a duty to help if you are in trouble . ”

“Onii-chan? Why does an ordinary person like Onii-chan is involved with exorcists?”

She laughs while brushing her hair .

“You don’t know anything, do you?”

Then the blond haired girl burst in laughter .

“Haha… I think both the sister and the brother are causal fate . Your brother is… actually unbelievable!”

“Onii-chan… is unbelievable?”

They nodded almost simultaneously .

“Yeah, because he is—” “Un, because he is—”

And then they continued talking at the same time .

“”Natural lady-killer!””

Like that they looked at each other strangely and laughed .

“Anyhow, that’s the situation . ” “Well, yeah it’s like that . ”

“That’s why—” “From now on—”

And then they faced the Magical Girls and prepared their sword and spear .

“Leave it to your sister-in-laws!”
