.
Everyone’s battle got suspended because of the World Fall’s commotion.
And then when Rikimaru’s defeat came to light,
「No way……」
Ishiwari Flor lost the justification to fight Miyabi.
「Looks like that’s it, Flor.」
「That’s……irrelevant! If I can just beat you up──」
She must have gotten into a fierce fight with Miyabi. Her whole body was covered with bruises and she was heaving for breath.
「Then that’s not a devil king war anymore, but just a brawl. I refuse doing something like that.」
Miyabi was also beaten up quite a lot. Her yukata was worn out and fresh bruises covered her skin.
On the other hand, Reina was──,
She also got her yukata cut up badly, but it didn’t seem like there was any serious injury on her.
When I asked her, she said that Hachimaki Tougou and Nihondou Swordia had retreated. It seemed she had also defeated the majority of Strength’s Card. Even though she was my little sister, she was too reliable, or perhaps terrifying?
「Only senpai is left……」
Senpai who got into a duel with Seigi still hadn’t returned.
「I think that it will be fine if it’s senpai but……」
Then Neith,
「I’ll go search. Poran know her scent after all.」
She said that to me. Just as I was about to ask her to do so──,
A sound of explosion resounded. Smoke rose at the river terrace.
A girl who was very similar with Rikimaru was at the other side of that smoke. She was wearing an attire like a knight with a sword in hand.
「……Seigi.」
The Justice devil king candidate, Sannou Seigi was returning alone.
Don’t tell me, Lizel-senpai was……no! Something like that was impossible! Don’t think of something stupid!!
Seigi’s face didn’t have the smile of victory. Her expression was brimming with uneasiness.
「Ne……Nee-sama……where is Nee-sama?」
She was breathing with heaving shoulders while muttering with a voice that was full with anxiety.
「I couldn’t sense Nee-sama’s mana anymore……why? Did she retreat?」
She glared at Flor with a grim expression.
「Oi, Ishiwari Flor. Where did Nee-sama go?」
Flor dropped her gaze and muttered in frustration.
「Rikimaru-sama……was defeated, by Lovers, Morioka Yuuto……」
Seigi’s eyes opened so wide that her eyes almost popped out.
「Lies……」
「I also can’t believe it. But……」
「Lies. Something like that, is impossible.」
「Rikimaru-sama, fought magnificently till the……」
「DON’T LIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!」
Seigi’s sword flashed and cut open Flor’s chest.
「Flor!?」
Flor fell on the spot without even making any voice. Miyabi ran toward her and held up her body.
But Seigi didn’t even seem to notice that she had cut down Flor.
She was walking unsteadily with staggering footsteps like a sleepwalker. And then she stared at me with an empty gaze.
「Nee-sama, should be the next devil king……there is no way, she can be defeated at this kind of place, much less against the like of you. Yes……it’s impossible. This joke isn’t funny.」
I was overwhelmed by her eerie pressure.
Nee-sama……she meant Rikimaru right? Her attitude toward Rikimaru was completely different from before.
This girl, did she actually love Rikimaru?
The headmaster answered in the place of the dumbfounded me.
「Sannou Rikimaru is dead. She lost against Yuuto.」
「……Tsu!!」
All expression vanished from Seigi’s face.
Her lips trembled fiercely.
「……Lovers」
Mana and killing intent suddenly burst out from Seigi’s whole body.
She stepped forward toward me with an expression that was like a demon.
「Kill, kill, kill, kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill!! LOVERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!」
Seigi held up her sword to the sky and screamed. And then──,
「Sixers──」
The moment she was about to activate her characteristic magic,
「Guh!?」
An arrow pierced her right arm that was holding the sword.
「──Wha」
Blood was leaking out from her upper arm.
The arrow pierced the arm and stabbed into the ground.
That was, the arrow of Lizel-senpai’s Cupid!? That meant!
I stared at the direction where the arrow came from.
However, there wasn’t any sign of anybody there.
Seigi gritted her teeth with a gnashing sound.
「Damn you……Himekami Lizel……」
She changed the hold of her sword to her left hand and turned her gaze to the direction where the arrow came from just like me.
Something shined──the moment I thought that, an arrow had already reached Seigi.
「Nuaah!」
Seigi blocked the arrow with the flat side of her sword with astonishing reflex.
An explosion occurred.
「Guaaaaaaaaaaaah!?」
The arrow exploded powerfully.
I gulped. That was an arrow? It was like a missile.
Seigi collapsed, but she used her sword to support her body.
「Damn you……you coward, Himekami Lize──」
One more arrow landed.
Violent explosive blast blew away Seigi’s body even further.
She rolled on the ground like a broken doll.
Headmaster Gandou smiled in delight seeing the disastrous scene that made me wanted to close my eyes.
「It’s unknown where she is firing from. Her aim is unmatched. The arrow’s speed is too fast that the target can’t even run away. And even if the arrow is blocked, it’s meaningless because the arrow explode. Lizel-kun is fun as usual.」
Seigi clung on her sword to stand up.
She glared at me with a blood soaked face. Tears were flowing ceaselessly from both her eyes.
「Morioka Yuuto……I’ll kill you, even if it’s the last thing I do! If not, I won’t be able to face Nee-sama in the purgatory!!」
She gritted her teeth and dragged her body toward me while crying.
「……Seigi.」
But, Lizel-senpai’s merciless arrow flew again at her.
Senpai’s aim wouldn’t miss.
This time for sure──,
The arrow that would send Seigi to oblivion flew near.
It would pierce her body, stopped her life, and made her exit from devil king war definite.
That arrow stabbed Seigi’s head──just before it happened,
The arrow vanished.
Together with the sound of the space being cut apart.
「……What?」
Where──,
「Ufufu, an underhanded way of attacking like usual. But, the finishing blow will be one shot at the head. I have seen through that.」
A bewitching figure clad in black bondage suit had appeared before I noticed.
──The Hanged Man, Hayachine Yotaka.
There was a whip in her hand. That whip was winding around senpai’s arrow.
Don’t tell me……she caught a flying arrow with that whip!?
「Also, when firing from an unseen place, you would definitely dispatch an eye.」
Yotaka threw away the arrow and swung her whip to right above.
A sharp tearing sound echoed through the dark sky. And then something that looked like green wings fluttered down.
It was a butterfly that was split into two.
Was this……Lizel-senpai’s hair ornament?
「Just when I thought there is a nuisance……it’s you just as expected.」
「Lizel-senpai!!」
Lizel-senpai’s figure appeared at midair. She came down on the ground lightly.
Yotaka narrowed her eyes seeing senpai.
「Yes. I attacked the beach at the devil world based on Sannou Seigi’s information but, the place was deserted. It took a lot of time to search for you until now.」
Seigi fell on her knees and stayed silent while looking down.
In that state, Seigi couldn’t fight anymore. Hayachine Yotaka……I didn’t know what kind of power she had, but if she was alone──,
Just as I thought that, three silhouettes appeared from behind Yotaka.
Lizel-senpai’s gaze sharpened even more.
「Looks like you aren’t the only one who come to get in the way……」
「Good grief. Did you try to monopolize the prey? And yet you got the table reversed on you, what a handful.」
──Death, Joudogahama Lost.
Standing beside him was Wheel of Fortune, Shimokadzuma Rinne.
At the opposite side was the Sun, Sansa Summers.
Lost realized that Headmaster Gandou was also here and sent him a glare.
「This is a talk between kids, so can the adult step out of it?」
「Eee? Sensei is getting ostracized, that’s a bit lonely……」
He muttered with a cowering look as though to ask for others to sympathize with him.
「Quickly.」
Lost replied coldly. Headmaster hunched down in dejection. And then he turned around and vanished into thin air.
「Now then……let’s start the second round.」
Cold sweat trickled down my cheek.
Our side already fought to the limit. We were wounded and also exhausted.
At the other side, Seigi was the only one exhausted. The other four were most likely in a perfect state.
Even just counting the number of the devil king candidates, it was five versus two.
There was no way we could win.
「But, before that──I’ll ask one last question I guess.」
Lost suddenly smiled kindly and walked toward me.
And then, he whispered with a voice that couldn’t be heard by anyone else.
「Become my comrade, Yuuto.」
「……Lost.」
「Let’s destroy this world with the two of us. We’ll destroy this rotten world and remake it.」
I and Lost stared at each other from really close.
For some reason, my heart almost got stolen by that invitation.
No, it wasn’t by the invitation.
Perhaps, what attracted my heart was about accomplishing something together with Lost.
Why?
For some reason, I didn’t understand myself.
Some kind of very nostalgic and painful feeling was raging in my chest.
But──,
「I can’t do that.」
「Eh?」
Lost made a surprised face.
It was as though his expression was saying that he couldn’t believe what his ears heard.
「I want to create a world where everyone can live in peace with a smile. To do that, I think destroying everything that exist right now is a mistake. That’s why……I can’t become your comrade.」
Lost made a mortified gaze for a moment.
「……As I thought, it’s that woman’s fault huh.」
「Eh?」
That woman……he said?
Lost turned around and walked away from me.
However he then stopped walking.
He looked back.
His face that was always smiling calmly was distorted.
「Are you fine with that? You are going to die here you know? By an overwhelming difference in power. You have no chance of victory.」
Everyone’s life was hanging on this decision.
Was it alright for me to make a decision for them? I also had such hesitation. Even so──,
「I can’t betray everyone.」
Lost’s expression twitched.
「I see……I guess it’s also fine if you want to die that much.」
And then he sported a cynical smile.
「Perhaps this place is also the right place for that.」
──What?
「Lost, what do you mean by that?」
「The talk is over already.」
Lost’s atmosphere changed.
Ominous and eerie mana flowed out from his body.
「I’ll kill you.」
When Lost announced that with an emotionless voice──,
「Don’t talk as you please without even notifying this great me beforehand.」
──Eh?
There was a silhouette walking from the direction of the embankment. He had white uniform and grey hair that was clear to see even in the night.
「I’ll be the one to kill that man. Don’t intrude, you insolent fellow.」
「You……」
「Kneel you lowlifes! To this Aspite of the World!!」
「Aspite! You……」
「You are also insolent, Morioka Yuuto. If you are back already, then you should come to my place and tell me.」
Eh?
「Sorry……I think, Kaa-san forgot to tell me.」
Tsk, Aspite clicked his tongue and then he scowled as though he recalled something unpleasant.
「No matter. More importantly, it’s three versus five with this. No, This me alone is worth three devil king candidates. That means we are evenly matched.」
His personality was like usual, but it was reassuring.
「──Then, the number of this side is superior if I join in then?」
「……Ruki!?」
A beautiful girl……no, a young man in sailor uniform was waving his hand while approaching.
When he arrived at my side, he pouted resentfully with puffed up cheeks.
「You’re really horrible, Yuuto-kun. I was waiting the whole time at Hawaii.」
「Ah……m-my bad.」
No, we didn’t make any promise or anything right?
「But, are you alright with this, Ruki?」
When I asked him that, he smiled brightly as though he had gotten over his bad mood.
「Yep. Because, Yuuto-kun and me have special relationship♥」
……Your wording.
「It’s four versus five with this. In addition we also have Lizel-senpai. It’s enough to fight.」
「……」
Lost was staring at a single spot stiffly.
What’s the matter?
When I followed his gaze──,
Neith?
No,
Poran who was in Neith’s arms was also opening her eyes wide like a saucer.
Her small mouth trembled and opened slowly.
「You are……alive woof……?」
──What?
My gaze returned to Lost reflexively.
Lost was always wearing a hood.
I never saw him taking off his hood.
A frown formed between Lost’s eyebrows. Sweat was trickling from there.
「……Are you, Poran?」
How, did he know that name?
Lost, you──don’t tell me,
Tears spilled out from Poran’s eyes.
「I’m glad woof……Lost-niichan.」
