Swish...... Rustle rustle......

"...... here?!"

Attracted by the sound of waves in the distance, I walked alone on an unfamiliar beach. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As soon as you step forward, the white sand under your feet will make a rustling sound.

I felt the touch and heat of the sand directly on the soles of my feet; The smell of the tide and the sound of the waves came from the sea, and the cool breeze blew in and the sun stinged a little bit.

"Yes...... Summer? ...... now."

Where is this? What time is it? I don't know at all.

I was wearing a uniform — pants rolled up for some reason, walking barefoot on the beach, holding shoes that I didn't know when I had taken off.

「——?～～?」

Suddenly I heard a burst of singing in my ears.

Beautiful melody, clear and energetic singing.

I couldn't help but feel concerned about this, so please walk slowly in the direction where the song came from.

Rustle.

Rustle, rustle.

The sand under his feet also gently responded.

"La, la~~?

A young girl was there.

The waves wet her toes slightly—the girl sang and danced as if she were dancing.

Her hair fluttered and was a shiny, harsh white.

The same white one-piece dress occasionally swells and flutters in the sea breeze.

"Uh-huh.........

For some reason, I didn't want to call her, but sat down on a nearby driftwood.

The piece of wood must have washed ashore a long time ago, and the bark had almost peeled off, and the color had almost turned white.

So I sat on the irregularly shaped white sofa and stared at the girl in a daze.

The sound of the rattling waves was heard.

The occasional cool breeze makes people feel very comfortable; I watched with fascination at the scene in front of me.

「…………」

This is one of the rooms in the hotel, and the clock on the wall points to less than four o'clock.

Tianyu, who was lying on the bed, had been in a coma for more than three hours.

Yu Xin, who was waiting on the sidelines, continued to fall into a state of depression; Her hair that fell without a ribbon seemed to show her current mood.

(Celestial Language...... ）

Tianyu smiled at the memories she had inadvertently remembered.

However, now Tianyu lost that smile on his face, and he was just lying weakly in front of him.

Tianyu was destroyed by the defense function of the Rubik's Cube, and directly faced the attack of the light bullet with his body, and it stands to reason that in that state, let alone survive, even if he can preserve the integrity of the body, it is almost impossible.

However, the strange thing is that it was only burned by the heat wave that hit the human body, and the whole body was covered with bandages.

"It's all because I'm so useless that I can cause Tianyu to become like this——! I'm supposed to protect him."

Grabbing her skirt hard, the force of her fist whitening the skin of her palms—as if punishing herself, she clenched her fists desperately.

"The battle was lost. After that, if the situation changes, I will call you again, and before that, let Tianyu maintain the status quo first and stand by."

After Tianyu was rescued from the sea, Yu Xin came to Tianyu's room and heard these words.

After giving instructions to treat Tianyu, the class director of Qianxue immediately returned to the war room.

(I...... Why...... Always...... ）

(What the hell am I practicing for...) ）

（…… I've ...... ）

She was about to make a big decision when the door was rudely opened.

The bang startled Yu Xin for a moment, but she didn't have the strength to look at it.

"Alas—alas—you're a very good person."

I saw the girl who broke in unceremoniously walked to Yu Xin, who was still depressed.

The voice was Katier.

「………………」

"I'm talking about you!"

Katir opened her mouth to speak, but Yuxin did not answer. She couldn't reply.

"You think it's all your fault for Tianyu to do this, right?"

「………………」

"So you're going to be so depressed all the time - no kidding! Hehehehehe......"

Katier suddenly laughed happily, and then grabbed the frustrated Yuxin's shoulders and forced her to stand up.

"You are completely responsible for why that guy is like this! It's just that guy is too strong."

"But ......"

"That's right! You should have something to do! Now is the time! Aren't you going to fight!?"

"I—I...... And it didn't ...... Manipulative Battle Cube ......"

「——！」

Syllable!

Katier clapped her hands, then put her arms around Yu Xin's shoulders again, and looked directly at her.

"Stop being coquettish...... At this time, don't think about the broken iron, the most important thing is your own thoughts. Or are you—"

Katier's eyes stared into Yuxin's eyes.

Her eyes are full of fighting spirit – similar to the excitement of a child when he sees a newly released toy.

If Doudou saw such a Katier, he would definitely say that this waste goddess is going to mess around again!!

"—a coward who can't fight when it's time to fight?!"

This sentence ignited the fighting spirit in the depths of Yu Xin's pupils.

"That ......"

The voice, which was too small to be heard, immediately grew louder and louder because of anger:

"Then what do you want me to do! The enemy is gone! If I can fight, I want to fight the enemy!"

After seeing Yu Xin finally cheer herself up, Katier secretly became happy. It's fun again.

"You're finally motivated...... Alas, what a trouble."

"W-what?"

"Of course I know where the enemy is...... The witch is now—"

In the middle of Katier's words, the door opened again, and the person standing in the doorway was Miss Witch wearing a witch hat and a dream dress.

"There it is! According to the Witch I have just confirmed, the target is above the sea thirty kilometers away; Even though it's in stealth mode, it's impossible to hide it in front of the witch."

Looking at the witch who walked into the room surrounded by a projection screen, Katier's face showed irritation and greeted the other party's arrival.

"Well! Although she is just a witch, she does have a set in the face of those broken copper and iron."

"Hmph...... What about you? Goddess! Are you ready?"

"Of course, for this goddess, it's really not too easy for a mere mortal to manipulate it. I just wanted to ask Maiko and Leah how they are doing!"

"Oh, that's—"

The witch's gaze fell to the door, which was then opened again.

"It's just done!"

"Ready! You can be dispatched at any time."

Tianyu is the only one who knows everything in the school park.,Everyone looked in the direction of Yuxin.。

"So, what are you going to do?"

"I...... I—"

Yu Xin clenched her fists - different from the regret just now, this was a show of determination.

"I'm going to fight...... I want to fight, I want to win! I won't lose again this time!"

"Then it's decided!"

Katir crossed her hands over her chest and smiled fearlessly.

"Now, let's start the battle meeting! This time we must definitely shoot the enemy down!"

"Uh-huh!"

……

「………………」

The "silver fighter" with a pestle 200 meters above the sea curls up in a fetal posture.

The wings of light stretched out from the mech's body to protect its huddled body.

——？

The silver fighter suddenly raised its head.

In the next instant, a cannonball flying at supersonic speed hit it directly in the head, causing a large explosion.

"First Hit - Keep the Shelling!"

Floating about five kilometers away, the black mech and Maiko fired the next shell before the enemy could counterattack.

The black Rubik's Cube body controlled by Maiko is very different from the usual visible competitive Rubik's Cube equipment - I see two magnetic cannons mounted on its left and right shoulders.

In addition, in order to cope with long-range shelling and sniping, several physical shields surround it on the left and right sides and the front of it as protection.

This is simply an armored artillery born entirely for the sake of artillery warfare.

"Approaching enemy aircraft...... There are still 4,000 kilometers left...... 3,000 kilometers – well, faster than expected! It's exciting!!"

In the blink of an eye, the distance between them had narrowed to a thousand kilometers - the other continued to approach Maiko.

Despite the continued shelling during this time, the opponent shot down more than half of the cannonballs with the energy projectiles fired by the wings of light, and approached Maiko at the same time.

"Tsk!"

In order to counteract the reaction forces, it is difficult for the artillery fuselage to take into account the maneuverability.

In contrast, the opponent with specialized mobility suddenly accelerated from 300 meters away and attacked Maiko.

"Really, it looks like it can't be flashed!"

However, despite saying this, Maiko bent the corners of her lips slightly and smiled.

"-Leah!"

The outstretched arm of the silver fighter was suddenly bounced off by the body that had descended from above.

A light blue body, Moonlight Night Dance, attacks in stealth mode.

The six "leaves" are not unfolded, but are attached to the waist in the shape of a skirt and used as propellers.

Not only that, but the large laser gun in her hand is more than two meters long, which makes up for the lack of firepower after the "leaf" was used as a mobile power.

In order to strengthen her response at speeds of more than 500 kilometers per hour, Leah's head is equipped with a high-mobility kit for assault and a mask-type ultra-high-sensitivity ultra-high detector. Through the information it transmitted, she suddenly reversed at high speed and aimed at the other party to attack.

"Enemy! B confirmation, carry out exclusion action."

"It's too slow!"

As the silver plane dodged Leah's shots, another aircraft attacked directly behind.

It was Katil, who was lying on Leah's back during the raid and went into stealth mode.

Two shotguns shoot from behind at close range, leaving the opponent in a situation where they are left and right.

But that's only for a moment; It immediately aimed at the third enemy aircraft and used Wings of Light to counterattack.

"Oh, sorry, it's just a mortal's broken metal, but this one isn't that easy to shoot down!"

In an instant, Katir let the special defense component, and at the same time blocked the opponent's bullet rain with a physical shield and an energy protection shield;

Its silhouette resembles a massive iron door, with two physical shields and two energy shields obscuring it like a curtain.

While defending, Katir showed an extraordinary use of "high-speed switching" to call out the offensive cannon, seizing the opportunity to start counterattacking.

In addition, Leah, who shoots at high speed, and Maiko, who pulls away and re-launches the shelling, the shots from the three sides gradually wear down the opponents!
