"Then it's time to choose. ”

After Elisa and Alisie came to Rendezvous with Rain, she looked at the two Karakuri dolls under her feet that had been cut in two, and talked to Rain.

Sweaty Rain was kneeling on the ground and looking up in Elisa's direction, his eyes motioning with a little tiredness for her to continue.

"Is it according to the original plan to let the deer sneak in and then monitor the rabbit, or break in and gamble a duck himself. ”

"No, it's too unlikely. ”

Alisie was startled when she heard this and said it without much thought. However, in fact, as she said, there is no convincing evidence at all that the destination of the enemy that Suzuka is following is including the Eagle Sneak.

"Otherwise, the other side will definitely escape, and in the event that Jester fails in the capture operation and fights with his demons, the other side will inevitably have some defense, and may even give up directly to return to his subordinates, leaving us empty. ”

"I didn't expect it to fail to such a field, although I had long confirmed that the relationship between Jack and Scully Eddy was not normal, but I didn't expect Opium's reaction to be so fast. ”

A sudden sense of failure welled up, and it was the lack of consideration for the rain. Obviously he has been dealing with the enemy for so many years, but he is still a light enemy, is it because the expansion of strength has caused too much self-esteem? Or is it because the revenge has been completed and the matter is taken lightly?

In fact, what he is doing now is not what he wants?

Didn't put 100 percent of your savings into it, didn't you think with all your might, didn't fight, and save what would have led to the current situation?

As these questions coalesced, Rain remembers what Elsa had asked him not long ago.

"What the hell are you fighting for?"

It is to fulfill the wishes that have been given, to save this world where relatives and friends exist.

Is it to give yourself a reason to live......

No, it was already goodbye at that time.

Not like that.

What we should do is to find the future that has saved the world, and live happily ever after that. And in this future, no one will be left behind.

So

"Wait for news from Suzuka. ”

"Do you choose the safest hand?" I feel like you're going to take us with you to break into the enemy's base camp together." ”

At this moment, an emergency message suddenly arrived, and the video window that did not wait for the rain to mentally prepare for the conversation had opened, and in it was Villesa, who had met before the start of today's operation.

"Oh no, the rain is a trap, and the base exploded after Miss Tsukimura followed in!"

"Velosa, don't go to the scene, stay where you are and wait for us. ”

"But!"

"It's okay, the deer is still alive. ”

◇

Velosa was only about five kilometers away from the rain, and for the rain at full speed, it would take them about six to reach it. What they saw in the current rain was a burnt band about ten meters wide in the forest not far away, as if it were painted black in the center of a green colored paper, which was obviously the result of the explosion that Velosa had spoken.

"How's it going?"

"I've used my dogs to monitor the area, at least no living creatures on the ground have left the area. Even the humanoid summoning beast on the other side never reappeared. ”

With his inherent skill "Infinite Dogs", Verosa spawns magical dogs and weaves a network of envelopes that are impenetrable in the area. At the same time, he slowly explained the matter to Yu.

He had originally made a mistake with Suzuka for some distance to track, because the relationship between his stealth ability and movement speed caused a gap between the two when they advanced, but because he also considered that the wrong position was conducive to the re-pursuit of Wan Yi when he lost time, he did not force Velosa to follow.

The two were chasing a black humanoid summoning beast, which could be assumed to have been summoned by Lou Sis outside the hotel who had used summoning magic, and his purpose was to bring the goods into Scully Eddie's hands.

However, Suzuka entered after witnessing the other party entering something suspected to be a hidden base, and after considering the surrounding environment giving Velosa ample location information and possible hidden exit routes, he entered. It was about three minutes after summoning the beast in, and just as the deer were entering, the explosion suddenly occurred, and Veloza immediately notified the battle team Changyu.

"Then you don't see the other person escaping, and there are only two possibilities. The first is that the base itself is a trap, a bomb waiting for us to throw itself into the net. But it's strange that Suzuka hasn't come out to meet you yet, and it's impossible for Suzuka's abilities to be injured by a normal explosion, which means that something is dragging her back. That's the second possibility, Suzuka is fighting with the enemy to hold the other side down. ”

As a think tank, Alisa always calmly analyzes the situation for Yu and Alisie at this moment, and at the same time uses the current situation to tell the two of them what to do next.

"Come in, maybe it's going to be a big prize. ”

Rain watched the charred black earth in front of him and the burned trees as he advanced, and the two girls who followed him also put themselves into the highest state of battle.

"Keep watching, and don't let any of the flyflies escape your eyes. ”

"Understood. ”

"Elisa use the red dragon, the other party already knows that we are coming, so let's just give them a gift first." ”

"Shoot at one point, if you spread too wide, it's easy to hit the deer fighting somewhere under your feet. ”

At Rain's suggestion, Alyssa made some more changes to herself and began to do as instructed, a magic array that was neither Mead nor Belka unfolded on her feet. The array of ancient characters carved with an ancient script changes along with the different rhythms that dance on Elissa's lips, and the deep red array begins to appear with a heat that makes people retreat.

"Deep Red Demon, Scorching Emperor, show your power to suppress the might, and remove all obstacles for me here—"

A dragon roar rang out from the magic array, and then a deep red dragon claw suddenly stretched out, and on the claw was a flame that could dissolve all things. The flame quickly covered the dragon's claws in its entirety and slammed it into the ground.

After piercing the earth like a paper skin, the flames that had been confined to the claws were released into the ground at once, and a deep red ray of light dissolved everything that stood in front of it like a ray of light.

The dragonclaw was gone, leaving behind the ruined remains, which had only penetrated the ground nearly twenty meters deep due to the fact that Elisa had carefully manipulated her to cause no unnecessary damage.

And the cave rain jumped down without hesitation, ignoring the remaining fire and the heat in the center of the cave.

When he touched the ground, Rain saw the man in front of him, the dismembered Icarus who had been dissolved into the demons on the ground, and of course the familiar teammate behind him.

"Although I think you shouldn't be afraid, I'm going to say it anyway. No, because I'm here, and you don't want to run away this time. ”
