After that, it was as if there was an unspeakable silence......

In fact, the reason why this is the case is simply ......

I couldn't find a good time to stir up another topic that had nothing to do with it.

So both of them gave up the struggle as if tacitly; Resistance was abandoned.

also naturally gave up this only moment that could comfort each other.

Then let the thoughts that seemed to be a mess gnaw away at each other little by little!

It's just a piece of glass, why can't you say a word of comfort at this moment?

This kind of thing is strange no matter how you look at it, right?

However, in fact, it is so helpless.

"No matter how strong the thoughts of the dead are, they can't change the fundamental facts."

This is a truth that even a three-year-old child can understand -

However, even so, I still feel unwilling......!

Finally, for Sylvia, the man ......

Enix's expression went from not being able to see clearly to not being able to see.

Because since then he has always refused to look up again, and if that were the case, of course he would not be able to see it.

But at the same time, she was also afraid to see his expression at this moment.

"It's all my fault, if the R&D progress had been completed faster, maybe it wouldn't have been like this at all-"

If it were him, he would have thought so, right?

But, anyway...... It's all happened-

In this case, what can be done other than to force yourself to accept reality?

But, "Maybe it's because it's none of my business that I can think that?" ”

Such an idea is really "arrogant......

However, if you don't think so, do you have to blame yourself for everything?

That's weird, isn't it?

"It's not your fault, is it? It's just that things just happened to turn out like that. ”

Sylvia tried to tell him what she was thinking at the moment, but it didn't seem to work—

"If it were the same situation, maybe I would have made the same choice-"

She said unhurriedly. While listening to the sound of your own breathing.

"So, while those who are left behind are miserable...... But I wouldn't say it's self-inflicted. ”

So, it's okay not to blame yourself so much.

"But ......!"

"I know what you're trying to say, but what can we do now but accept reality?"

And what can it mean? What can it prove? You can't prove anything, right?

In the end, all that left me was to expose my irresponsibility mercilessly.

That's it.

"By the way, how long are you going to soak it? If you're dizzy, I'm not responsible for carrying you out—"

"Stingy ......"

"That's not the kind of problem at all, is it?!"

As soon as the words fell, both of them couldn't help laughing-

"Got it, I'll come out now."

Immediately afterwards, he had to admit that Sylvia at this time was really ...... Very reliable?

In other words, her usual swaggering personality is completely acting?

For a moment, Enix couldn't understand which one was the real her-

What if she is the "original her" at this moment, is it really surprising?

"What are you thinking? Just now? ”

In an instant, when he found that Sylvia's face was in front of him, he had to forcibly extinguish some kind of impulse!

"Nothing!"

What a nosy guy - is it so fun to play tricks on people?

"Well, I'm sorry...... I spoke too inconsiderately, without the slightest consideration for your feelings. ”

"What? It's better to say that your comfort is just right. Thank you......"

Sure enough, this guy can understand in an instant? In that case, the purpose of coming here in the first place can be considered a complete accomplishment, right?

In short, it would be nice if he could understand!

“...... It doesn't matter, after all, it's an old acquaintance. And, you...... I'm the only friend, right? ”

However, what's the matter with that smug expression just after praising her for a few words?!

"Don't be so arrogant and reveal people's scars...... Really. ”

"Good, good......!"

I wasn't listening to it at all!

"Get out, don't come again!"

That's right, it's the result of retribution, deservedness, and self-inflicted suffering.

"Huh? You're in such a hurry to get me away—"

“......”

Sylvia said as she lay down on the couch.

Give me wait! This is not your home...... Don't give me so casual, okay?

However, if she could listen to an accusation of this magnitude, it would not be her.

"What the hell do you want to do?"

"Want to know?"

As she spoke, she threw a strawberry into her mouth, and then—

He stood up with interest and came to the entrance with satisfied steps.

"Shall I go?"

"Next time, remember to come in through the main entrance, don't go through the window again!"

In other words, there is finally hope that the relationship can go further, right?

If that's the case, great!

"I'll wash this shirt and return it to you."

"You don't have to pay it back——!"

Yes...... That guy was definitely shy......

What? Isn't that exactly what we expected? That reaction, if you have to say it, is really funny.

"Were you shy just now? Excited? ”

"Shut up ......"

Worst! The blush is so pronounced - it's really shy, right?

"Hahahahaha!"

Really...... This guy is so much fun.

However, even Enix himself understands......

The reason why the atmosphere becomes so stiff unconsciously is entirely on me.

But what exactly is to be done to stop it from spreading now, he doesn't know.

"If you have anything, remember to call me - the nameplate you just gave you also has a phone number printed on it, right? Just use that—"

"Got it!"

“......”

Although it's not the first time that I know that this guy is afraid of trouble and thinks he is verbose, he still has to finish what he has to say.

"Also, don't eat cup noodles again!"

"I see, it's really verbose...... You-"

However, he listened to it well, and he was really a guy with different hearts.

The original self is ......

That's right, just one person; As long as you are alone, you don't have to worry about your actions unknowingly implicating others.

And the same goes for guilt and guilt......

If you can't get rid of it anyway, then try to accept these things that you should have to bear, right?

I have to say that the original self is such a person-

A coward who doesn't know how to rely on others at all......

even tried to drag himself out of this bottomless quagmire, who was now full of sin......

How can such a thing be possible?

After a while, Enix, who had returned to the living room from the hallway, was glad that he was the only one left in the room; While letting the completely dry body fall into the single bed.

I always feel a little tired......

At the moment when these remnants of past memories lingered in his mind like a white horse, he was suddenly pulled back to reality by Valkyrie's almost disgusted voice.

Only then did I think about it, I haven't done anything yet-

"Master, even if you are dreaming, please distinguish the occasion, how can anyone do such a thing in broad daylight."

"But the so-called 'daydreaming' is pretty much what you just did. But even then, now is not the time to do that kind of thing. Do you understand? ”

“......”

The "human-computer interaction" system in front of you can be seen at a glance as the type of "unforgiving".

"Why should I be preached by you in such a serious manner?"

Now, in order to obtain Valkyrie's actual combat data, he is simulating the scene -

Of course, the complaints from time to time have never been absent.

Wield a sword made of energy particles to quickly and accurately depict dazzling and crisp slashes at the enemy's vital points!

His movements can only be described in a flowing stream - "Deputy Commander, it's really too strong to speak, hey!?" ”

“......”

Incidentally, he is the deputy head of the "Knights Templar" at this moment.

However, at this moment, he had to interrupt the experiment for the sake of the sudden second wave of attacks-

"Those guys, aren't they still giving up?!"

"Well, can you come over and help—"

"No problem!"

As soon as the words fell, he had already finished changing his clothes and sat in the cockpit!

"I'll come now!"

And there is no doubt that this is Valkyrie's first real combat -

“Maste

, remember to proceed with caution—"

"It's not preaching, I'm just reminding you seriously."

"Yes, yes, really...... Ignore the unforgiving guys. And then what? You didn't just come to me to tell me, did you? ”

“......”

In short, let's do what we can first! Immediately after, Enix instantly opened the cylindrical plasma barrier!

lest the house be shattered in an instant under the onslaught of those guys—

However, even if he had to fight while maintaining the barrier, he seemed to be at ease!

Almost close to Valkyrie's excellent performance, the originally stretched defense line was once again supported!

However, in this whole process...... The sudden cry caught Enix's attention—

"Why is there still a ...... here? Infant?! ”

Enix was so shocked by the facts in front of him that he didn't even want to believe his eyes—

However, the two little ones were almost ten meters away......

Where near the sewer pipes......

Behind the two of them, there is a completely suspended slope - without any support, if it is affected and falls!

"Can you think of a way? Valkyrie!? ”

"In that case, will we take them in first?"

"Okay, please!"

In the blink of an eye, the storage work was successfully completed in a roar that seemed to be deafening—

Now you can finally go into battle without any scruples!

However, at this time, Valkyrie spoke directly to him again-

“Maste

The treatment of the two has been completed, but they are still unable to wake up due to physical exhaustion. ”

"Thank you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he smashed another group of enemies who tried to ambush him—

In a boxing-like way......

"So the further course of action is to move both of them to a safe place, is there a problem?"

Enix certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to object to a well-thought-out proposal or suggestion—

"No, no problem...... Your judgment is not wrong. Send them both away with a phase shift, right? ”

"I see, let's send them both to the Templar villa for the time being."

"There should be extra rooms and the safest shelter. Is it okay to leave the follow-up to the medical team? ”

Enix nodded in agreement without thinking.

At the same time, Natalie and Stella were also delivered to their destination by Valkyrie as he just said.

Of course, the two of them are in charge of logistics and medical care this time.

and is not directly involved in front-line battles -

Stella was unhappy that she was being transferred off the front for the first time......

"Why?!"

However, since it was Allen's commission, she had to accept it. So at this moment there is a considerable degree of self-isolation.

- "Stupid, brother, stupid!! ”

“......”

"50 meters ahead, enemy shelling is coming!?"

That is, there is no time for gossip!

In an instant, the vision was cut in half by the ray of light mercilessly!

However, the shelling, which was supposed to be fired at the predetermined coordinates, was naturally changed to orbit at an astonishing angle -

"What's going on?! What the hell is this——! ”

This was followed by an explosion that seemed to be devastating, and a tsunami of impact......

The heat they generate instantaneously changes the terrain in an instant!

But then, in an explosion of this magnitude and an impact that seemed to cover the sky, Enix and Valkyrie were actually unharmed?!

"Wouldn't it?!"

"Hey, hey, hey! It's really fake, it's too foul, right?! ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, because he neither defended nor resisted, but only relied on the strong defense of the mech itself to directly neutralize the attack!

And the shelling, in the end, did not hit the target as the people around thought it!

“......”

"It's simply ...... A world of difference......"

Instead, after being blocked by Valkyrie with the sword in his hand, he gently brushed the pitch-black breastplate and instantly blew up a hill behind him!

And evaporate it out of thin air with a huge residual heat!

"That's an exaggeration, isn't it?! Is there a kind of organism in the world that can withstand a direct blow head-on and still be unscathed? Is this an open hanging? It's open, right?! ”

“......”

Will it really turn out like this?

"Who do you ask me?"

The moment such an exclamation was heard from the rest of the soldiers, Valkyrie disappeared from their sight again!

"Huh?! Actually...... Disappeared, disappeared? ”

"There!"

Then they saw that they were still showing off their might; Even treat the body that you shot down yourself as a delicacy......

The three beasts with huge pincers suddenly fell to the ground with a whimper.

Subsequently, incredibly -

Their bodies crumbled into powder silently!

No one knows how many times this guy was slashed before this result!

"I didn't even see what that guy did?"

However, it is difficult for many people to have such an amazement, and it is easy to "miss" the attack just now if you don't pay special attention to it.

That's right, that is to say, they did not "do not see", but simply "missed" it because they drew their swords too quickly.

And only Alan Frier, who was the head of the regiment, was noticed......

and Brunhilde, who also has the same "attack specialization" performance as Valkyrie.

"Really, does that guy have a sense of teamwork!"

Although I don't know how many times I have emphasized this for a long time, it is clear that it ......

To Enix, this kind of thing is just a meaningless existence-

"I'm sorry."

But even so, he honestly apologized.

So. Vane could only vent all her frustration on the enemy's pursuit of her.

In the blink of an eye, you can shoot down all your opponents who are several times your size with a high-speed movement that is so fast that you can't even realize it!

That's right, not partially...... It's all!

“Maste

If you can, please control the extent of the damage a little...... and, your anger. ”

However, at this moment, Vane is in a state of being able to listen to persuasion well-

It was clear that she couldn't stop......

“Maste

, Block 22 asks for support! ”

"I see!"

She didn't even blink an eyelid before rushing to the more chaotic 22nd block!

It's undoubtedly a hunting ground for those guys!

And if you just rely on my brother alone, it is estimated that it will be difficult to hold on.

Even if you hold on, you won't be able to hold on for long, so you have to rush there as soon as possible!

Sure enough, when she arrived at the entrance of 22nd Street, what she saw happened to be a bronze mech, which had been lifted to the ground—

The surrounding houses are covered with milky white slime and the remains of bodies that have long since been dissolved!

"Are you alright?!"

"Why are you here......?"

She immediately swept away the miscellaneous fish who were trying to block her way, and who didn't even seem to be able to grasp the "language"!

Then he picked up the warrior who seemed to have fought to the end and his body—

However, this amount of bleeding has no meaning to even save it......

"Tsk!"

Unexpectedly, at this moment......

The guy's body tilted to the side as if he had suddenly lost his strength, and at the same time he kept vomiting blood!

Anyone knows...... The body, covered with bruises, extensive burns, and lacerations, can only be described as riddled with holes.

Already, there is no salvation -

"Cheer up!"

"Your Highness Princess, have I done my duty? Am I fighting to the end? Can I, rest? ”

"Ah...... Have a good rest, right? ”

"It's too good, it's too good...... Finish. ”

As soon as the words fell, the head of the body completely shattered......

Of course, his face was liberated in an instant-

"What......?"

However, that appearance shocked her again, she didn't expect that he was only a child about 10 years old!

I thought I had done my best; Originally, she thought that she would never let anyone be sacrificed.

However, now—

The reality that was too cruel immediately gave her a merciless slap in the face!

"Why, why did it become like this——!"

Then they couldn't wait to turn into a shivering chill and slowly climbed up their backs, which couldn't help but make Wayne grit his teeth and look in pain.

- Because of his own self-righteousness and arrogance......

In the end, he let such a young child unconditionally bear the price that should have been borne by himself instead of himself......

This kind of thing, it's so unfair, isn't it?!

"I'm sorry I didn't make it to ......"

"If I had come earlier, I might have been able to prevent this from happening!"

However, at this very time-

Suddenly, a huge shadow was cast behind him!

The range is even exaggerated enough to wrap her body along with herself!

And it's not just the sheer size of this guy that's jaw-dropping......

What's even more troublesome is that in its attack range, there is also a little girl with limited mobility -

Her mother, buried under the rubble!

I can't even respond to my daughter's cries.

No, it's better to say that judging from the blood-covered appearance, there is no way to respond.

Because she's dead!

Realizing this and understanding what might happen next, Vane desperately urged his legs to move!

"Could it be that its next target is ——!"

And do your best to run to the little girl who is already unknowingly in tears!

However, at this moment, a deafening loud noise took the lead and robbed her of her thoughts-

"Shhhh Or is it too slow?! ”

It turned out to be due to the sound of a mountain-like enemy slowly advancing and crushing obstacles along the way!

And its path overlaps with the little girl's location!

"Sure enough...... Its goal is to——! ”

In short, if she is not taken out of this place quickly, then the only thing that awaits her is exactly the same ending as her mother!

"So, this time it's going to be ...... anyway! Because, I don't want to see that again! ”

Suddenly, the little girl squatted on the ground with a painful face, and covered her ears with her hands desperately! It seems that her patience has ended here!

However, in this situation where there is no room for error, there is a very high frequency roar in front of me!

"Well, could it be that guy's...... Shouting out the voice of your companion?! ”

"Brunhilde, Phase 2 restrictions lifted ——!"

If it's too late, fly over!

"Understood. The second stage of restrictions, the lifting of the start - isotope, the start of the unified adjustment ......"

"Well done! In this way, it will be able to speed up even further! ”

But by this time, the creature had lifted its huge pincers, which were enough to crush the entire human race like a grain of rice!

However, it's still too slow -

In an instant, a spear seemed to be wrapped in silver......

As if it were taken for granted, blocking that bloody mouth!

At such a speed, it can no longer even be called moving!

It's more like the distance between the destination and the starting point is shortened in an instant......!

It's hard to believe, but that's exactly what it is.

"Huh, big guy? This guy isn't your food! Next, let me play with you! ”

"By the way, even if you cry and beg for mercy later, I will not hesitate to break your body into pieces?"

"So, don't expect me to ...... Exercise restraint! ”
