"Lock on to the target! Now we're running away from the exit! The number is two! Permission to attack! You can shoot freely after confirming that unrelated people are in danger! ”

Ignoring the fighters of the AST in the sky, they focused all their attention on how to escape from here.

Below, the girl's arm grasped by Natsume's running right hand was very soft, and the body that was not suitable for battle seemed to be blown away by a strong wind.

Now, Natsume has become confused, wrong, and worried.

Not a question of why C.C. came, but a concern about the purpose of C.C.'s coming.

What was her reason for doing this, what was her reason for fighting, and what was her desire for something?

C.C. has some similarities with himself, in the midst of the chaos of the world, both of them get a little direction when they are confused, so they can move towards that goal and set off.

She had obtained the power of immortality in the original world, but at this time, what did she want to get and what could she retrieve?

It's not clear, even if it's futile to waste energy thinking about it, therefore.

"Run!"

Pulling C.C. to his side, Natsume made his way towards the exit in a manner that almost held C.C. in his arms.

A missile exploded on the left side of the front, and the impact of the explosion stopped Natsume's footsteps, and the iron and stone slabs lifted by the wind smashed on Natsume's body, causing a pain that made people gasp and breathe, and even breathing became difficult.

The skin was cut, and the wounds on the body gradually increased.

"Let me fight. Mankind. ”

"What are you talking about, we're dating now, how can I let you protect me, you can stay honest with me!"

"But humanity is weak."

"Hmm...... At least don't say it! ”

Enduring the pain in various parts of her body, Natsume jumped up while holding C.C. in her arms.

Because the body of the girl in her arms was unexpectedly light, it didn't take much effort.

Looking at the missiles that kept falling around, it was estimated that AST deliberately missed the elven troops, the reason, is he an ordinary person?

"The man below let go of the elf in your arms! Although it is not clear what you can do to this extent. But if you don't give up. We're about to start attacking in earnest! ”

Natsume didn't respond, but kicked open the door and escaped towards the corridor he had just entered.

I really don't understand why the AST people will find out, obviously C.C. didn't cause a space earthquake, and the existence of C.C. was hidden in the piano. So what exactly is the reason?

I didn't stop thinking about it. Natsume searches for a place that can affect the vision of the AST fighters in the sky.

For example, the corridor and the downstairs hall in front of it can act as their own barriers.

But staying in this is not an option. On the contrary, it will make the enemy's encirclement tighter.

[What are you doing?! Give me back at this time! 】

"With C.C.?"

[This can't be done, because it's impossible to determine if she's in a harmless state like Toka, if it causes an unnecessary dangerous situation after landing on Phlaxinas.] We're going to be in trouble. 】

"Then forget it."

[That elf is very strong, so it can protect itself......]

"So, it has nothing to do with that, now we are still in a state of dating!"

[Really, stupid. 】

Even so, I would choose to make this action.

Whether it's stupid or not, Natsume has no intention of compromising.

At this time, the communicator sounded again, and Natsume heard the voice of Gokawa Shido on the way to the corner.

[There is now a road to the subway station in the left passage, but if you want to get there, you will be exposed to the sky for about a minute on the way.] 】

"That means I only have a minute."

Natsume heard the objections from Kotori inside, and she seemed to disapprove of Shido coming to help her, instead prioritizing her own safety.

Really, a troublesome boss.

Natsume followed Shido's instructions and walked to the left passage, still not familiar with the city, and he had to make some effort to find it.

"Why do you want to do this, it's clear that the contract hasn't even been fulfilled."

"Why do you want to care about that kind of detail, listen to C.C."

You.

Natsume looked back, and the girl behind him was expressionless, but the slightly raised eyebrows showed that he was in doubt.

"You're my enemy now."

"Enemies? Do you want to fight? ”

"Of course, it's just a game of GAL, so you don't need to pay attention to those who are looking for trouble until you win or lose."

"Yes, so? But humans are also dangerous. ”

"I'm not going to be killed, at least not until I decide the winner with you."

"That's ......"

Commitment?

C.C.'s thinking seemed to be in a state of stagnation, and she was deeply affected by Natsume's words.

The two then jumped up in the sun.

Jump down the stairs and you'll be locked in instantly.

The AST members were cordoned off all around, and the two were soon spotted and attacked.

The missile hit the two mercilessly at this moment, Natsume looked at the bomb flying overhead, the bomb, and tried to push C.C. forward a little, and Natsume was knocked away by the impact after the loud bang.

But you can act.

Their shooting is still melancholy, and that's Natsume's chance.

Enduring the burning pain in her skin, Natsume ran to C.C. on the ground, pulled him up, and started running again.

can't stop, at this time, it's up to you to protect her.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!"

Crying rang out from the side, and Natsume and C.C., whose attention was drawn to it, saw the little girl kneeling under a carved stone pillar.

The bomb had already blown up the foundation, and the heavy stone pillar was smashed down on the little girl.

"Human ......"

Without saying the next words, C.C. rushed forward, and the magic circle appeared, and the steel giant arm directly smashed the stone pillar, protecting the little girl in his hand.

Her family rushed over from a nearby aisle and glanced at C.C. after picking up the little girl, her pupils revealing fear.

"Monster, monster!!"

Screaming in fright, the parents picked up their children and ran away into the distance.

Natsume tried to speak, but when she saw C.C. silently looking at her hands, the words were stuck in her throat.

C.C. asked, turning his head to defend against the shelling.

"Human, am I a monster?"

There is only one such answer.

"You're just my opponent, an ordinary opponent."

Then the witch responded.

"Human, you, are so gentle." (To be continued......)
