The girl's lips weave an inorganic voice. It's like executing a programme.

The pupils like green glass looked at the sleeping ancient city.

"Begin to eliminate witnesses, execute-"

Before she could finish speaking, the girl's left wrist split up and down.

What emerges from it is a huge blade like a mountain knife.

Stepping on the air that was nothing, the girl jumped.

Raising his bladed left wrist, he struck at Yukina like that.

But it's faster than that Yukina's movements. Stepping on the railing of the balcony, he flew into the air and caught the girl's left wrist with a silver spear. And then—

"Fure!"

A heel kick that uses the power of the opponent's attack is a vertical kick to the tip of the girl's jaw.

After eating a shot with magical power, the girl's upper body leaned back.

But she didn't fall. A transparent thread stretched out from the girl's right hand, holding her in the air.

Suddenly, I found that the apartment was surrounded by countless threads like a spider's nest.

She floated in the air with a thread, observing the ancient city.

"Eyewitness threat verdict updated. Presumed to be a high-level Demon Attacker to ensure that the process fails. Detachment -

――”

Yukina's kick can kick over the orc race, and of course the girl of the artificial lifeform will feel the pain.

In front of the surprised Yukina, the girl's body began to rise.

Pulling the string in a way that is impossible for a human body to do, trying to escape.

"..... towards the roof!?"

Sensing the girl's destination, Yukina raised her head. Maybe there's a girl's companion waiting there. It's dangerous to chase it casually.

That being said, you can't just leave it alone. Because the girl's target is probably the ancient city, and Yukina is his watchman.

Yukina returned to the house with the silver spear and looked at the side face of the ancient city, who was still asleep.

"Senior, please wait a minute—"

Yukina whispered to herself and walked out of the house towards the roof.

……

The roofs of the apartments covered with solar panels were filled with midday heat.

In the strong sunlight stood a man, dressed in somewhat dirty white like a rocker of the old days.

He stared straight at Yukina coming up the safety ladder, and he gently shook the bottle.

"I tracked the remnants of the magic in the artificial beast's body, but I didn't expect to meet someone who was unexpected. Now, Sniwalda? Now that I've seen the Sword Witch of the Lion King's Organ, the rumors of the existence of the Fourth True Ancestor are also true, right? ”

"Definitely."

The figure in a silver gown replied. She manipulated transparent threads and watched the ancient city from the air.

Yukina's figure is reflected in her emotionless eyes.

"Master Humanoid, the weapon held by this sword witch is presumed to be the seven-type assault demon slaying machine gun that is the prototype of the beast's ability. Eighty-eight percent likely—"

"I see. I'm still wondering where I got the information on the battle with the Seven Styles, so I solved a puzzle. Presumably you stopped Oistaha at the Gate of the Spoonstone. ”

The man looked at Xuexia Wolf and smiled stingingly.

Yukina faced them head-on, staring at the beautiful white-haired girl in a silver dress.

"Artificial lifeforms...... No, the mechanical doll......! ”

"You, what are you talking about......!?"

"Exactly. I think it's almost time to give Svanilda a new skin. Let you be a part of 'forever'. ”

Looked at by the distorted ** gaze, Yukina felt a chill all over her body.

Then, Sniwalda slowly raised his right wrist.

The transparent threads protruding from her fingertips glistened in the sunlight.

The end of the line is a large leather travel suitcase.

The lid of the chest opens on its own, and new dolls emerge from it.

The quantity is two.

Removing the joints of the sphere, what remains are limbs like sharp blades, not as lifelike as Sniwalda.

They are mechanical figures designed entirely for battle. The puppeteer seems to want them to fight Yukina before luring Yukina to the rooftop.

"Hersilia, Sada, launch in battle mode. The integration calculus begins. Execute—"

Sniwalda began to order the puppets to attack.

There was a flash in the insect-like compound eyes, and the two puppets rushed towards Yukina one by one.

There is not a single moment of deviation, it is a completely simultaneous attack.

The limbs that turned into blades cut through the atmosphere and attacked Yukina from an angle that was impossible for a human body.

Yukina was overpowered by that exaggerated speed. Naturally, the emotionless puppets have no killing intent, because this Yukina is very confused. I can't find a time to avoid it.

Faced with the onslaught of the puppets without gaps, Yukina is in a desperate situation

Slashes made by combat with adjusted figures are fast and heavy. Even so, if you go head-to-head one by one, it won't be so embarrassing.

It's not that difficult to fight back just by seizing the moment of the attack. However, that is not possible because it is a pair of dolls.

The puppets make up for each other's attacks to prevent Yukina's counterattack and block Yukina's retreat.

The two dolls, who are not self-aware, are completely manipulated by Sniwalda as a command tower, and are able to perform completely coordinated attacks as if they were a precision machine.

The puppeteer whispered as if he really admired Yukina. In his opinion, Yukina was even more surprised by the fact that she was able to defend herself against the attacks of the dolls all the time.

The white-haired puppet stomped lightly. The huge blade that raised his left wrist accelerated towards Yukina.

Sensing the approaching Svanilda, Yukina's expression froze. Yukina, who was attacked by the two dolls, has no strength left to deal with the third-

There was a dull clash between metal and bone.

For the first time, a confused glint appeared in the eyes of the expressionless Svanilda.

The puppeteer crooked his lips and made a cooing sound. Moments before she pierced Yukina's heart, someone from the side hit Snivalda, and it was the ancient city that saved Yukina in her home clothes. He looked a little tired.

Sharp fangs could be seen between the gaps in his lips, and his whole body was surrounded by dazzling silver lightning. The blade changes the track. (Markne)
