Chapter Twenty-Three: Like the Prelude to the Opening
「…… Help us?"
He glanced at each other, and there was obvious distrust in the tone of the rabbit hand puppet.
It's no wonder that they are suspicious, a stranger you don't know suddenly appears and says you want to help you, and it's strange for someone who doesn't doubt it.
"Well, actually, I ...... too."
"Found it—elves!"
「——!」
In the middle of the conversation between the two, a suppressed and disgusted voice suddenly came from behind them.
(The voice...... )
An AST member who uses a manifestation device to adjust gravity and is equipped with a variety of weapons, a kite origami.
Standing up to face the 'uninvited guest', the two people who looked at each other were surprised.
Origami was surprised that there would be 'ordinary people' staying by the side of the hermit at this time, and Wan Yuri was surprised that Origami could find Shiito so quickly.
Selectively ignoring the blonde girl, Origami raised the gun in her hand, and her doll-like face stared at Shiito behind her.
When he saw Wan Yuli subconsciously blocking the elf behind him, Origami's inorganic face finally showed an impatient expression.
"Why are ordinary people here, get out of the way from there, there is a very dangerous existence behind you."
Without the liberation of the spiritual costume, Wan Yuli is indeed no different from ordinary people.
"I'm sorry, but that's not what I'm here."
「……」
For the elves? Are you kidding!
In the world view of the origami of kite, the elves will destroy the world as soon as they appear, that is, existence itself is a disaster.
This kind of 'enemy of the world', there are still people who want to protect?
"Say it again, leave from there, or ......"
Aiming the gun at Manyuri, Origami said words that resembled intimidation.
And as a special force of the Ground Self-Defense Force, a member of the AST against the elf troops, she does have the right to shoot.
"Forgive me for refusing."
"Hmm-"
Origami is the first time she has encountered such a character who does not enter the oil and salt, but let her really shoot at ordinary people, her heart has not really been cold to this point.
Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, several women, armed with ranged weapons, began to converge towards the area.
"Well done, Kite!"
The woman at the head, the sun is shining, and she exclaimed with relief, this time her impulsive subordinate finally restrained herself.
"—Target confirmed. All members, start attacking ...... Wait!"
I didn't see it just now because of the angle, but after approaching it, I realized that there was not only origami and "The Hermit", but also a third person.
No wonder Origami is so 'honest' waiting for them to arrive this time.
「…… When did the elves begin to learn to take hostages?"
This is the first reaction of the burners in the lower part of the sun.
But soon, Origami's explanation and Manyuri's actions made her understand what was going on.
……
Finding that more and more AST members were gathering here, Manyuri retreated to Shiitono's side.
This is not the time to have an easy chat.
"How's it going, standing up?"
"Ah...... Well...... It's okay......
A little surprised that someone other than Shiito would treat her with such a gentle tone, Shishino hid his small face under the cloak and hat.
"Looks like we're surrounded, young lady."
Instead of the timid and scared Shiito Nailai to communicate with Manyuri, the rabbit clapped his little hands, but there was no worry in his tone.
Also, if it weren't for Shiito's personality, they wouldn't have to hide everywhere.
And at this time, even if Wan Yuli tried his best to avoid using his spiritual power, he also tried his best to avoid contact with elf-related organizations. It's unlikely that you'll leave here as if nothing happened.
If you know, you'll know, it's not that Wan Yuli looks down on AST, the real 'enemies' of the elves are not them.
Anyway, as long as she doesn't use angels and spiritual costumes, there is not much difference between her and ordinary people, and it is not so easy for her to find out where she has no fixed place from the vast sea of people.
Now that Itono has found Shiito, the time is almost up.
Moreover, most of the elves do not have a good impression of humans, and to contact them in this capacity is undoubtedly adding difficulty to themselves.
In that case, there is no need to hide it.
The golden light began to surge, and the huge spiritual power enveloped the blonde girl.
- "Kamui Spirit Outfit: Wanban"!
Intense wind pressure blew through the exit, causing the AST members surrounding the two to disperse.
At this moment, whether it was origami and the others, or Shiito and them, they were all stunned to look at the blonde girl who had shown her spiritual costume.
"It's okay, then, I'm going to run."
Answering the rabbit hand puppet with a chuckle, Manyuri stretched out his hand to Shiitono.
"Oh, oh, oh, this is really surprising, it turns out that young lady, are you also an elf?"
The tone gradually became excited, and the doll in Shiitano's hand looked very happy.
「…… How is that possible, elves—there are two!?"
Looking at Wanyuri who was standing with Shiito no in front of him and unfurling his spiritual costume in disbelief, the sun gritted his teeth and gave the order to attack the team.
All personnel maintained a position of pointing their guns at the two men.
While they don't know what the new elf is all about, there are only two things they need to accomplish.
Protect the city, and then ...... Destroy the Elves.
"Shoot!"
The fire-wielding weapon began to spew cannon fire, but it didn't mean anything to the elves.
Just deploying the spiritual shield is enough to block all attacks.
A flaming sword appeared from his hand, controlling the direction and trajectory of the attack, and Manyuri swung it towards the members of the AST.
It's not about killing them, it's just creating a gap.
At the same time, it is also a warning.
She's not Shiitono, and she won't fight back if she is attacked.
"Tsk! Everyone, take a back seat for the time being!"
In the face of the devouring energy, the sun is the most correct choice.
Seizing this opportunity, Wan Yuri held Shiitono, who had not yet reacted, in his arms and flew into the air with a 'rub'.
"Catch up! Don't let them run!"
Orders were given in the communicator, and the group re-drove the aircraft.
***************************************************************************************************
An hour later, Lu Zi's elven troops, AST Tiangong garrison base.
"As a result, did you let them run away?"
"I'm really sorry! Sir!"
As usual, the elves were not defeated or caught, and the AST members had to return to the garrison base.
Straighten your back, as the captain of the team, the captain of the Kusakabe Rooko stands at the front and receives the lecture.
Although she has become accustomed to it......
「…… Forget it this time, after all, the situation is more special."
The sudden appearance of a mysterious elf disrupted all their set-ups.
But even if Wan Yuri doesn't appear, they may not be able to catch Shiitono.
"Hermit, an unknown blonde elf, and Diva, who caused the Space Earthquake a few days ago......
With his hands crossed on his chin, the AST chief muttered in the main seat.
It's not a good thing that so many elves appear at once in a short period of time.
The sky is gradually changing, and there is a premonition that the wind and rain are coming.
