Chapter 82: How To Get Back To Everyday Life (3)

“Just listen to me!”

“Hup!”

-Bang!-

I break through the outer wall of the building and move the battlefield outside. I don’t release Neru’s collar and maintain it, and with the force of gravity, I slam Neru to the ground.

Judging from the sensation when I broke through the wall, her durability seemed to be quite high, so I threw a punch at Neru, who was slammed to the ground with all my might.

A crater is created on the ground and dust rises.

Neru…at some point, she escaped from my grasp and jumped back greatly, getting out of my range.

“I can’t really do this!”

-Clatter!-

The MPXs in both of Neru’s hands spit fire.

As always, I put my left wing forward and use it as a shield.

It hurts.

It feels like the same pain as when I blocked Kenzaki-senpai’s buckshot.

But it’s okay.

I can withstand this much.

I take out the SRM hanging on my waist and check the cylinder.

“You’re really unnecessarily tough!”

“Whether it’s really unnecessary, let’s decide after taking a few more hits!”

-Click-

I turn the cylinder of the SRM and load 12-gauge buckshot.

I just rely on the shield of my wings to block the bullets and charge, closing the gap.

I don’t know what kind of fighting style the opponent uses, but I drag her into my range.

“…I don’t know what you’re thinking right now…but in close combat, in that range, there’s no one in this Kivotos who can beat me.”

-Clatter!-

-Bang! Bang!-

As our ranges converged into close combat, our barrages rained down, separated by a really narrow gap.

An absurd mobility, unfortunately, if it’s unfortunate, Neru, her specialty was also close combat.

When I first point the muzzle of the SRM at Neru in front of me and pull the trigger, she is already not in that place, and a barrage unfolds from the right side.

I spread my right wing wide and use it as a shield.

I might have been flustered by the incomprehensible mobility, but since I had already raised my tension to the maximum limit when I broke through the building and jumped out, my reaction was fast.

But the situation is not good.

The opponent’s speed is already far above me, eliminating the option of aiming and shooting from me.

Maybe if this state is maintained for a long time, I will be the one to fall, so I also change my shooting style.

I remove the process of aiming and just swing around and pull the trigger.

-Bang!-

“What?!…Ha…if it weren’t for this situation, it would have been fun…?”

“Phew…you’re fast…”

The first effective hit, 12 steel balls rush into Neru’s body.

A little bit of mystery is contained in the buckshot, Neru can’t withstand the impact and is blown away, and the gap is widened again.

The gap is widened, but neither of us has any intention of utilizing the widened gap for a long time, and we charge at each other again.

-Clatter!-

-Bang! Bang! Bang!-

We narrow each other’s gaps and sprinkle our respective bullets towards each other in front.

Absurd dynamic vision, the steel balls aimed at Neru cut through the air and are stuck in the wall or ground, losing their meaning.

Incomprehensible durability, the fire and lead bullets spewed from the MPX can’t penetrate my wings and are buried in the feathers or lose their power and fall to the ground, losing their meaning.

Each other’s attacks lead to meaningless checks, and again the gap between the two sides reaches close proximity.

I swing the SRM from left to right and pull the trigger.

-Bang! Bang! Bang!-

Mystery operation, in the first place, I judged that it was impossible to hit a direct hit on that woman, so I add an additional process to the mystery contained in the 12-gauge buckshot.

-Pop!-

I pull the trigger and swing the SRM as if swinging a sword.

There’s no way to aim properly, but I don’t need to aim.

The buckshot, which was scattered in the air without meaning, does not get stuck in the ground or the floor, and the mystery inside reacts and explodes in the air.

“Ugh!?”

Her durability is high, but objectively speaking, I already know that my durability is ahead.

That’s why I can make a choice, I give up on direct hits and explode the scattered buckshot with mystery to cause only range attacks.

If direct hits are impossible, I accumulate damage and lead the battle.

-Clatter!-

It seems like the opponent is also starting to get serious, her halo shines strongly.

Her already fast body accelerates even more, leaving an afterimage.

Neru, she started operating the mystery.

I also raise the mystery.

In this state, I can’t keep up with her speed, so I concentrate the mystery on both eyes and nerves.

The world slows down.

In the slowed-down world, only she and I move at normal speed.

-Clank, Thump!-

-Bang! Click!-

This time, Neru points the muzzle at my head from the left.

I lead my accelerated vision and body and quickly turn my body to the left to respond, our guns collide and are knocked away, and both of our muzzles are pointed at the sky,

and 12 steel balls and Parabellum bullets are fired at the sky.

The height difference between me and the opponent, Neru, is about 20 cm, and the opponent puts pressure on me with fast movements by making full use of her small physique.

In the close combat just now, I had to bend my body just before knocking it away due to the difference in physique.

A bent body, unfortunately, Neru’s combat style is close combat using MPX Akimbo, and the MPX in her left hand, not the MPX in her right hand whose muzzle is pointed at the sky, is aimed precisely at my forehead.

There is no time to be flustered.

As it is, I concentrate the remaining mystery that I can operate on my left arm, and just before the trigger is pulled, I swing my left arm greatly to knock away the MPX, and I hit with my left arm as it is.

-Thump!-

“…Guh?!”

Clean hit, a fist full of mystery goes right into her solar plexus, and Neru is blown away, unable to withstand the impact.

-Click-

It’s a gap that was barely created.

I can’t miss this.

The skill of the opponent is probably higher than mine.

In order not to miss the gap created due to the difference in compatibility, I turn the cylinder of the SRM and switch to slug rounds, concentrating on the mystery.

“Fly!!!!”

-Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!-

I point the SRM with one hand and shoot, emptying all 8 rounds in the tubular magazine and charging.

Red, 8 streaks of flash leave an afterimage and are slammed into her.

I don’t stop with this.

The distance is close enough, I concentrate the mystery in my empty left hand, and throw a punch once more.

“Ha, amazing. You can push close combat this far against me…”

“What?!”

The accelerated world returns to its original speed, and the dust around me spreads due to the wind pressure.

Absurdly, the fist I was throwing is stuck in the air.

Neru’s halo shines.

A chain connecting two MPX guns is held in her hand.

My left arm is tied to the chain and stuck in the air.

As if she wouldn’t stop with this, she turns her body and throws me in the opposite direction.

The momentum of my fist full of mystery and the momentum of the martial arts influenced by Neru’s own mystery are added and I am thrown in the opposite direction.

At an absurd speed, I am slammed into the wall.

What kind of guts, mettle, and willpower is it, my full-powered punch and 8 slug rounds full of mystery were all slammed, but she didn’t even shake her mind, and she was preparing for a counterattack.

“Guh…”

Part of the wall I was slammed into collapses and obscures my vision.

In the black dust and falling debris that are generated, the last thing I saw was Neru’s halo shining more fiercely, something big is coming.

“You picked the wrong opponent to fight!!!”

-Clatter!!!-

Numerous barrages full of mystery are inflicted on me.

I grab the mind that I almost let go of again.

I concentrate the mystery on my left wing and put it forward as a shield.

I hold on to the shaky thread of consciousness in the absurd amount of impact and endure until the shooting is over.

“Oraoraoraoraora!!”

-Clatter!!!-

“Ha?!”

When the numerous barrages are over, what I see is Neru reloading the MPXs on both sides with splendid hand movements and flashing her halo once more.

I don’t know how much mystery she has, or if the cost-effectiveness of her mystery is absurd, but the barrage full of mystery doesn’t end with one, and it unfolds once more.

My left wing hurts as if it’s going to become a rag.

“Just fall down already!!!”

“Huuuup!!!”

Concentrate mystery on my legs and charge.

A gap narrowed by the mystery concentrated on my legs, still enough mystery, I concentrate mystery on my left hand again and throw a punch.

“Did you lose your mind!?”

A move that has already been used, a move that has already been defeated by the opponent, Neru blocks the simple punch filled with mystery without any problems, using the chain of the MPX again.

But this time, I use it in reverse on my side.

“Ugh?!”

-Thump!-

I let go of the SRM held in my right hand and slam on the brakes with the mystery concentrated on my legs, pull the left arm bound by the chain, and punch with my right fist again, packing the remaining mystery in my empty right hand.

-Crack, Clang!-

A punch is applied exactly to the face.

The chain breaks and Neru is blown away.

Before it broke, the chain, which was strongly tightened with a strong momentum, leaves a chain mark on my left arm.

-Rustle, Clang!-

“It hurts…”

I release the chain that was tightly wrapped around and drop it on the ground.

I can see Neru, who is barely able to control her body and barely getting up far away.

On the ground, I can see a MPX that fell to the ground as the chain broke.

Even my SRM is on the ground.

There’s no time to turn around and pick it up, so I take out the revolver in my pocket, Daedalus, and slowly approach.

“Ah…aaaaak!!! Ah…augh…haaaaaaang!!!!”

But what stopped my footsteps was none other than a scream-like cry.

The source of that sound came from the hole in the outer wall of the building that I had broken.

That voice was familiar to me, so from there, I stopped thinking and ran.

I couldn’t think.

“H-hey!”

I hear Neru’s voice from behind, but I don’t care.

Reason flies away.

This voice is all too familiar to me, and that voice is so sad and wailing that I run without thinking.

I lead my aching body and run to the game development club’s room.

[…You’re here…]

A messed-up club room, I can see Midori and Yuzu, who have fallen to the ground and are not conscious.

The trace that a girl was here, only the game console and railgun are left on the cold floor.

And….

“Haaaak…ah….uaaaak!”

As if the sky has fallen, making a squealing sound, as if everything has been lost, and a child who is all too familiar to me was crying, sitting on the ground.
