School city at night。

The lights went out.

The whole city was shrouded in darkness. If you check it by satellite, you will find that among the 10 million people living in the capital city of Tokyo, it is the only one that looks like a black hole has been opened.

In the midst of this viscous darkness, an even more unnatural phenomenon occurred.

It's like tearing open a swamp of coal tar.

A surprisingly huge seal made using the whole school city.。

A slender wrist flew out of the hard asphalt-paved road. It floated in the air, looking for something to grasp, then grabbed the broken plastic sheet that had fallen beside it. It was like a victim floating in the ocean clinging to an unremarkable plank.

And then it happened very quickly.

The woman's face, carcass, and toes crept out of the pitch-black ground one by one. He dragged his long blonde hair and wore a beige monastic robe with a mature vibe. Someone, known as Lola Stewart, swished back to the present world.

Meanwhile.

A cacophony sounded. Not just one, but several in a row. From the power generation system to the transformer and transmission link, the wires that open out like a spider's nest begin to release vitality into the dead city. From the windows of high-rise buildings, to the traffic lights at intersections, to all corners of the city, click!! Intense artificial flashes flickered, dispelling the darkness in one go.

"Aresta."

Lola, curled up in a ball like a fetus and wrapped in Ambilight, whispered. At the same time, the sensory organs of xenogeneous high-dimensional life forms detected anomalies. Crunching and gritting teeth, the archdemon waited for the medium's agitation to calm down.

The clatter of light and hard objects colliding with each other sounded in the sleeves.

She took it out and pouted.

What looks like a slender wooden plaque is actually not. The real appearance of the wooden board, which is slightly larger than the handbook, is a substitute for a very special easel, and it is a portable pad prepared for coloring on thick paper the size of a card threaded together.

In practice, the paintings are made of special charcoal made from red wine and iron oxide, as well as crumbs instead of plasticine for sketching. It is self-explanatory that it is a painting material chosen with the intention of refining the card into a symbol of flesh and blood. On top of this, taking into account personal preferences represented by divination, various pigments are used to distinguish colors, and finally a thin layer of wax is applied to the surface to make a spell figure, from which gold is born.

It is not necessary to cite the example of artist Mina Mathers.

Magical objects, such as tarot cards, can be created with things that can be found everywhere.

So what does its shattering represent?

The sketches, the colors, the waxes contained in this small plank, the Great Demon pondered the meaning of these combinations.

The tortoise's back carapace is roasted with fire, and the cracks in it are used to tell what is about to happen. Perhaps similar to this means of transmitting information.

Just looking at the numerical panel, Mathers is better than Aresta no matter how you look at it. Not to mention that he leads a large army of 'gold'.

No matter how much Crowley frenzy there is, Mathers can do it with a wave of his hand.

However.

It was precisely because it was the Great Demon Klognzun that he couldn't feel at ease about it.

Looking at the intact school city,Lola doesn't know why she feels so empty.。

There was no reason for her to stay in this place.

She wanted to play with the city in front of Aresta, but now, Aresta is gone, and she is fighting Mathers in England.

So she needed to think about what else she could do with the toy.

Although this school city has enough power to wipe out the world's humans 10,000 times, it is difficult to investigate what kind of power it has and unlock it.

Without Aresta, it is impossible to control this powerful weapon.

However.

Even if the whole school city can't be manipulated,But the subtle parts are different.。

For example, it is as if you open the shell of a supercomputer and pull out a knife-edged server that is neatly arranged like a mille-feuille, clamp one of the substrates with a clip, and input a signal from the mobile terminal at hand.

It's like this.

P-hoo-hoo!! The long blonde hair moved like a separate creature, turning into an intrusive manipulator.

Demons are lodged in the woman's hair.

As the old saying goes.

Call. ”

Tearing apart the shutters of the warehouse she had chosen as her target, she set her sights on the collection of steel and composite armor stored within. Originally,The school city used to be the back garden of Aresta.。 And then that guy seems to have a habit of backing up and hiding everywhere the more important things are. Of course, this is limited to what can be reproduced.

With one hand on her hip, Lola muttered.

“. A. ”

It's not the main body, it's just a bunch of replacement parts for repairs at best, and it's not assembled. But none of this is a problem for Cologne. Blonde hair, which was more than 2.5 times longer than 2.5 times its height, burst out and swiped into the cracks in the armor like a nematode, reading the internal structure in an instant.

She can't manipulate science.

But if the arrangement of steel and concrete is mixed with the marks of magic, it will be fine.

"It's not even a glittering stone tablet or a planetary phalanx, it's just a general imprint."

Woooo With a sticky sound, she plucked a hair off.

No, it's not limited to just one hair anymore. It's like a ribbon used in rhythmic gymnastics, or a crooked handwriting on a parchment contract. Meaningful words are written with golden flashes of light that leap through the air, erupting from the bat-wing-like shimmering wings on either side of the beige monastic robe.

Not. A.'s mechanical structure, but rather an ominous wing assembled with reference to its interior.

"So."

She looked straight up.

The heavy ceiling that looms over the head is not taken into account.

"The Great Demon is leaving, Aresta. This is the cause that starts with you. ”

Meanwhile.

"What!"

Dressed in an autumn Tokiwadai uniform, Mai Trin looked at the 'rocket' in the sky heading straight to the west, and fell into deep thought.

That thing isn't. A?

Senior Shirai is not here.,The entire school city is also in a state of combat readiness.。

What's happening on the British side, the whole world is watching.

Could it be said.

Is the school city going to intervene?

Is there going to be a war?

Mai Trin pondered these questions.

But the footsteps were walking towards the warehouse.

Click~

Mai Trin pushed open the door to this warehouse.

"It's."

The surrounding side is not lined with ice cream and frozen food, nor fish and meat products.

Weapons.

It is indeed a weapon.

There are missile installations that resemble huge containers. There is a huge digging machine that can break through even the bank's large vault head-on. Flame launchers and plasma knives are also available.

Mai Trin's synonymous with the Super Electromagnetic Cannon, and the weapon named after it is also located here. There are also ammunition, fuel, power supply, and maintenance equipment to be used.

Shockingly, these are not designed for tanks, armored vehicles, fighters, attack aircraft, cruisers, warships, and so on.

Let's joke.

Will there be these things in the school city?

Looking at the mountain of these weapons, looking around and observing, Mai Trin was a little hard to believe.

It's hard to imagine that this was designed just to keep it in a freezer.

It is unknown who is stockpiling these things and for what purpose, but this frozen warehouse is clearly a disguise.

Click, a small sound came from the shadows.

Like who is hiding inside.

But that's not the case.

With a terrible roar, a large number of machines stood like plesiosaurs, staring at this side. Like a powerful magnet that adsorbs iron nails, countless weapons gather into the shape of living beings.

Obviously, these things treat Mai Trin as a user.

Mai Tamin touched the side of the plesiosaur with her fingertips, and it appeared to have a Gatling gun that was more than twice her height, and you could see engraving English letters on it.

“Anti-Art-Attachment”

Sure enough, it's this thing!

At the beginning, Kihara used this thing to scare Mikoto enough.

A superweapon capable of destroying a large country is placed in front of Mai Trin

It looks like a weapon, but it's not a weapon. Although it is cloaked in science, it cannot be explained by science. That thrill, that sense of the unknown, that possibility flashed through my mind, but it was much stronger on this side. There is no end in sight.

If it's water in a cup, you might be able to do something with human hands.

But if it were the sea that covered the seven oceans, people would not be able to do anything.

If you jump in, if you get involved.

It's not just about drowning. If you sway between the surging waves, you will be cut into fine white sand by the huge rocks in the sea, and if you sink to the bottom of the sea, you will be crushed by the great pressure and lose your original appearance.

Mai Trin knows.

If she uses this weapon, she may be involved in something in the future.

But there are also new opportunities.

If this is the case, maybe Mikoto Misaka will be able to peek into the unknown world.

"Unacceptable"

Although said that Mai Trin before and envy. A kind of thing, and want to have a croaking version of it. But when she really came into contact with this thing, that indescribable future, let her decide

Pack it and take it away!
