ACT.17 A strong blow from the sky, a failure of a date
The absence of the elves did not occur, but the alarm of a space earthquake sounded, which was false information spread by members of the AST.
In the face of the sudden loud alarm, all employees and ordinary students from all over the place ran to the underground evacuation facility.
Probably due to too much panic, the ground is littered with various items that have been dropped.
Crumbling makeup pens, dirty notebooks, and spilled drink bottles, the streets are empty and all that's left is garbage and the sky of AST vs. elven combatants.
Natsume woke up C.C., and after she came down, she was separated from herself because of the flow of people, and she didn't know where she was at the moment.
If she continues to fight the AST members, it will cause a very troublesome situation.
The reason why Kotori asked Natsume to seal the elves was to show the elves' 'no possibility of destruction' and 'no possibility of fighting', and the act of provoking a battle would leave the former with no chance of realization and persuasion.
Although I don't know what the situation of Wuhe Shidao is at the moment, it is estimated that he has also fallen into a rather troublesome situation.
Looking at the AST combatants overhead, Natsume, who was cautiously shuttling around the streets, looked for C.C.
Turning around, Natsume ran towards the back of the arcade.
It's a small park with a lot of kids' sports equipment, and C.C. isn't a child, but she might be interested in that kind of place.
Thinking so, Natsume sped up.
In addition, the previous flow of people is also surging in this direction. After all, there is an underground evacuation facility at the entrance to the park.
[Did you get it?] Natsume, I'm Kotori Gogawa. 】
"What's wrong?"
[If you can, try to avoid fighting, and we will take corresponding measures to make them unable to attack, so I'll find "ZERO" now, but the good news is that her mood is very stable. 】
That's good.
Natsume didn't want to suffer a spatial earthquake caused by an emotionally unstable C.C.
"I'll find her!"
[Once you've found it, invite her again!] Your date has just begun. 】
Don't make it that simple.
Natsume ended the communication, propped himself on the fence with one hand and applied force at the same time, and the whole person jumped up and stepped over the railing.
You don't have to be good at sports.
Running into the park, Natsume saw the long green hair touching the ground because of squatting, and C.C., who was facing away from Natsume, was now holding out his right hand to the puppy three meters away.
"Come on. I have. Pizza oh. ”
Holding the pizza doll in her arms, she swayed gently to keep the dog close to her.
Is it a stray dog?
Natsume doesn't know, but after seeing this scene, at least I'm relieved that AST's attack will come soon.
Walk towards C.C. C.C., who turned his head to see Natsume, waved his hand.
"Humans, look. It was lovely. I want to ————!!! ”
Facing C.C., who showed a little smile, Natsume walked over in a relaxed mood.
However, at the very moment when C.C. was not finished. The ground exploded.
Not due to the fact that the bombs were buried in advance, but by the large number of pursuit shells fired by AST members in the sky.
One of the bombs landed on the puppy running towards C.C.
There was not even blood foam, and the high-powered bomb directly wiped out the existence of the puppy, leaving a huge crater with black smoke.
"For, for what, to—this is—human!"
C.C., who was silent for a moment with his head down, became angry, like a real witch.
Not only was he angry at the death of the puppy, but he was also disgusted by the human being.
C.C.!
Natsume shouted loudly, but the powerful air that erupted from her directly drowned out Natsume's voice.
The trees around were shaking, the earth was shaking, and the alarm of the space earthquake really sounded.
Fierce winds raged across the land, and dust rose and swept the sky.
"A bunch, impudents—"
"Wait! C.C.!!!! ”
"Human, you just shut up for me, if I leave here, I won't kill you."
Staring at Natsume, C.C. raised his hand in the air.
It was a technique that belonged to the elves of the otherworldly realm.
"〈Ensemble Outfit. Dropthefiend〉! ”
A circle appeared beneath his feet, and the glowing area began to distort.
Bang!
The ground cracked, and with the explosion of bombs and the summoning of the circle, everything around them began to be destroyed.
【Leave from there now!】 If you don't want to die, come back! 〈ZERO〉 is already causing a space earthquake! Although the power is as great as when it descends, the devastating impact is enough to kill you on the spot. 】
"But now—"
[You can't do anything anymore!] Unlike my brother, I haven't figured out if you have the ability to repair if you're killed—]
There was a moment of silence in the piano on the other side.
[But it is not allowed, as long as my personnel are not allowed to die privately! ] Where to leave now! Our teleportation has been interfered with by the forces around you. 】
"Isn't that just right?"
Natsume could hear that the giant demon god who had appeared was crying, confused and frightened.
The same was true in the past, and it was incomprehensible and difficult to understand what he was doing.
Why do you sometimes make such stupid moves? When will you be wrapped in ice, when will you usher in the real sunshine?
Natsume knew better than her own that there was warmth in her steely palms, and even if it had terrifying destructive power, it also had a defensive power that could protect everything.
A witch is not a witch, C.C. is C.C.
She came here still looking for something.
If I don't grab her hand.
"Who's going to go!"
So, run.
So, gallop up.
With a weak human body, relying on the perseverance to save the witch, so, give me success!
Even if you fail, you have to touch the other person's hand again.
The girl who once leaned on her back was not the one who wantonly destroyed buildings and shot down AST members in the air like a demon god.
It was a girl with a hint of warmth, a hint of softness, and a hint of cowardice.
I don't want to be some stupid hero, and I'm not a master who can do great things, just an ordinary human being.
It's because I'm human that I think so.
It's not created, it's the real self, the real Natsume, at this moment, chooses to fight. (To be continued......)
