Things that cannot be chosen (2)
It was hasty to judge someone just because they had one arm, but Shiina knew with her heart.
“Kuan?”
The man with his sword slowly turned around.
Except for the fact that his right eye was closed, Kuan looked exactly as Shiina had imagined.
“Are you okay?”
Shiina ran to Kuan.
I couldn’t decide whether I wanted to be hugged or at least slapped on the cheek.
‘bad guy.’
It’s all cheeks.
‘I’m not just suffering.’
The moment she put pressure on her shoulders and accelerated her steps, she saw Kuan’s face.
A sword image engraved on the right eye.
It was clear that the short, diagonal wound was not a cut in the skin, but rather a stab wound to the eye.
‘He’s a real bad guy.’
Her arms swung with all her might, and her face was buried in Kuan’s chest.
“Why…
Hot tears wet Kuan’s chest.
“Why are you so stupid…
The power of the demons she experienced was on a different level from the enemies she had fought so far.
However, Kuan’s swordsmanship had reached a level where he far surpassed them.
It was that kind of hurt.
Kuan, who wrapped one arm around her back, let out as much emotion as possible.
“it’s okay.”
Thanks to you, didn’t you keep it?
If I could protect her at the cost of losing one eye, it would be a cheap price, but…
‘It’s not enough.’
Knowing the strength of his enemies, Kuan was prepared to pay more.
“Let’s go. Where are the others?”
Shiina’s eyes grew fierce and she pushed Kuan’s chest and said.
“Is that the end? “You mean to leave without saying a word and then suddenly come back?”
“That’s right.”
It was so calm that it was rather absurd.
“Then why did you come? Why did you come down to this area? “There will be plenty of places for you to fight.”
I don’t know.
When Shirone said to do what your heart desires, the first thing that came to mind was Shiina.
‘What did you expect?’
It is still in a form that can be called human, but how long can it last?
In Kuan’s mind, he saw a future where even his limbs had been cut off and he had been turned into a piece of meat.
“It’s part of the strategy. There’s nothing left for me. Shiina, please calm down too.”
“Uh…
She was opening her lips to speak, but then closed her mouth and made a cold expression.
At that moment, the demons who came running after hearing the explosion of the operation team filled the front line with darkness.
“Kkkkkk. What are you?”
They were anglerfish with dozens of mouths on muscular bodies with no skin and about 3 meters in height.
Even though a single amulet was covering my face vertically, I couldn’t suppress the disgusting feeling.
Brigadier General Ker Er.
One of the classifications of angler fish is the number of mouths, and Ker’er had as many as 237 mouths.
“Please step back.”
Kuan blocked the way with a serious expression.
‘Is it 1 ear?’
An average monkfish has the energy efficiency to digest a piece of bread in 2 seconds.
‘That’s why I’m always hungry…
but once I’m full, Anglerfish is one of the most difficult demons to deal with.
Kuan drew his sword.
“We will lure you as far away as possible, so please stay away.”
“no. “I will fight too.”
“They are stronger than turtle monsters. “It’s too much for you to handle with your current skills.”
“It doesn’t matter to you.”
Kuan looked back at her with a frown at her cold tone, which still contained traces of resentment.
“I only have one arm.”
The feeling of sadness was conveyed as is.
“I can’t fight while holding you.” At that moment, when Shiina’s eyebrows formed a sad smile, Ker’er burst into laughter.
“Puhhehehe!”
The sight of the tongue sticking out like a rainbow from the mouth of the whole body made me vomit.
“That’s it. Even if you die, that woman… Huh? But what should I do? I would definitely eat that woman first. Puhehehe!”
The subordinate frowned.
“Stop laughing. “We’re getting hungry too.”
Ker’er looked with a straight face.
“Okay, let’s do it quickly.”
As the demonic energy rose from the group of flesh-eating killer demons, Shiina shook her shoulders in shock.
The first demon.
The desire to eat that existed from the moment the creature was born drove her into confusion.
‘I have to run away.’
Just before the omniscience and omnipotence of spatial movement were combined, Ker’er came right in front of me.
The demon’s face was reflected on Shiina’s retina, but the signal had not yet been transmitted to her brain.
‘ huh?’
When I came to my senses, I was no longer there and everything that happened in a split second came flooding back to me.
‘Quan.’
I felt his arm, the only one I could swing, wrapping around my waist.
Shiina said, biting her lip.
“Because of me…
“Come to your senses. “Because it starts now.”
Shiina raised her head at those words and saw demons moving at incredible speeds.
‘They’re chasing this thing?’
Even the energy metabolism of an ordinary anglerfish was 30 times that of a human, and that of a meat-eating killer was a whopping 240 times that of a human.
“There it is! excuse me!” Kuan spoke at that time when he felt a strange feeling that even though the sound was far away, it was already within a stone’s throw.
“You may lose consciousness.”
“What…
the moment Shiina opens her mouth.
Clown Pierrot – Super spirited.
As the landscape tilted more than 70 degrees, the flat land turned into a cliff as large as the world.
“Huh!”
Gravity shook my stomach, and the acceleration caused a shock that caused the blood in my entire body to turn backwards.
“Hmm!”
The world spun.
In that scenery, afterimages of demons were passing across the retina at incredible speed.
‘Where am I?’
In a state of disorientation, Shiina half-forcedly accepted the scenery.
The sky and the earth were vertical and then began to tilt sharply to one side.
‘Fall.’
Gravity forces you to think that way.
“ah??????
But the scenery waiting at her feet was a sky covered with white clouds.
Falling into the sky
‘And this is…
the world where a person named Kuan lives.
‘It’s so crooked.’
I can’t even dream of confessing my love or taking a side walk holding hands.
Shiina’s eyes grew hot.
‘ Still…
the sea in the sky we looked at together was so beautiful that I couldn’t give it up.
“Mr. Kuan, I…
The moment Shiina was about to express her determination, Shiina’s stomach cramped.
“town!”
At that time, my cheeks were swollen due to vomiting, but I couldn’t bring myself to spit it out to Kuan.
“Shiina-san.”
The scenery turned halfway around, and the weight of standing on the ground finally spread throughout my whole body.
It probably didn’t go up that far, but it was important to persevere anyway.
“Wook! Ugh!”
Kuan patted his back.
“If you want to throw up, do it. “It’s natural because the acceleration of gravity keeps changing.”
She held back and whispered fiercely.
“Is that a problem now? As soon as the demons stopped talking, the shouts of enemies looking for Kuan and Shiina could be heard from all directions.
“come out! “Where are you!”
“You coward! Come out quickly! “Do you think we’ll be this hungry?”
He was in the middle of the scattered demons, and no enemy was able to find Kuan’s location.
‘This is definitely a circus.’
Kuan said.
“You will not be able to fight like before because you have used up so much energy. Now all we have to do is take care of it.”
Everyone was just shouting loudly, their shoulders were slumped, and eventually even their voices were drowned out.
“I will do it.”
Since Kuan was not the type to intercept the ball, his closed eyes frowned even more.
“I’ll have to get used to it from now on.”
As she spoke with a smile, she tightened her eyes and fired ice magic in all directions.
A scream erupted as the thick icicle fell straight into the meat-eating killer’s open mouth.
When his vision opened, Ker’er, who was still looking around, finally found Kuan.
“How dare you mock me!”
The posture of kicking the ground was good, but it was incomparably slow compared to the first time.
“Keuuuu!”
A rumble of empty stomach so strong that it could be mistaken for the sound of thunder was heard from Ker’er’s stomach.
“wait! “I’ll chew it up!”
As he grabbed his still-surviving subordinate and embraced him with both arms, the mouth of his entire body moved.
“Kaaaa! “Kaaaa!”
“Hold on. “I will take revenge.” As hundreds of mouths sucked on each piece of flesh, Shiina made a disgusted expression again.
“I guess I can survive now.”
Ker’er threw his shriveled subordinate on the floor and widened his eyes at Kuan.
“I can’t just kill him…
Kuan has disappeared.
At the same time, the ground tilted in Ker’er’s sight, and eventually flipped over 180 degrees.
“this??????!”
Even as he raised his arms and waved as he fell into the sky, he didn’t realize it.
As I realized that the head that had been cut by Kuan was detaching from my body and ascending to the sky, the world spun around and I felt an unbearable sense of motion sickness.
“Aaaah!”
The face fell and rolled around on the floor.
Shiina looked blankly at Ker’er’s body still flailing around her arms.
“Let’s go.”
When Kuan returned with his sword in hand, she came to her senses and quickly turned her head.
“that’s right!”
Although THAAD seemed to have escaped safely, demons were still gathered in the central building.
“The principal is still here. We were surrounded by demons, and at that moment, an explosion of noise erupted from the central building.
“Oh my…
Where Shiina turned her head, a huge mushroom cloud was rising into the sky.
‘haha. Cough. Alpheas, crushed by the rubble of the building, burst into laughter.
“Alpheas! are you okay? hey!”
Olivia, oblivious to the blood flowing from his head, crawled over to him and shook his body.
“don’t worry. “You can’t die like this.”
When I looked with lighting magic, I saw that a huge pillar had crushed both my knees.
“…Why did you do that?”
When the demons entered the building, Olivia tried to cast a self-destruct spell.
But Alpheas was faster.
“A bomb?” He protected Olivia with magic by pressing the detonation switch of the bombs piled underground.
“why? Should I at least file a complaint?”
Although storing explosive materials at school is strictly illegal, Olivia chuckled.
“Is this what it means to be confident? A wizard too.”
“It doesn’t matter whether it’s magic or a bomb.”
“…It’s like you.”
Like Al Feas in his youth, who thought that as long as light was beautiful, whether it was a particle or a wave, it was enough.
“wait. “I’ll take your legs off first.”
When Olivia tried to lift the pillar with magic, Alpheas frowned.
“Arthur. It was probably buried 10 meters underground. “If you touch the wrong thing here, you will be crushed to death.”
“Same. A second collapse will occur soon. “Whether it works or not, I have no choice but to try.”
“do not do that.”
Olivia gently turned to look at Alpheas’ voice, which was different from usual.
“little bit more… “Can you stay with me?”
I already knew.
The fact that there was no way for two people who had run out of energy to get out of the underground.
“okay.”
Olivia squeezed into the narrow space and lay down next to Alpheas.
It was quiet.
“What are you thinking about? “Thinking of your wife?”
“It’s not that shameless. I already said hello. “Before the demons came.”
“then?”
“I wonder if this is also a good plan.”
Alpheas turned his head.
“It’s not that I didn’t have it in my mind. When you confessed, I thought I could have a new life. Sorry. “I didn’t have the courage.”
Olivia had tears in her eyes.
“Are you finally saying that now? “You stupid long.”
“Anyway, you lived to hear it, right?” Hehe, she smiled and nodded and gently stroked Alpheas’ cheek.
As I turned off the lighting magic and slowly brought my lips to my lips, a stream of light flowed in from outside.
“huh?”
The next moment, the entire remains of the building began to slowly rise, pulled by some force.
“Principal! Are you okay?”
Sirone’s face was visible above the pit, and above it a huge hand of light was grasping the rubble.
