As Sayaka walked down the corridor with the light in her hand, she looked out the window of the corridor, which was wet with raindrops, and narrowed her eyes anxiously.
She thought it had stopped just a few minutes ago, but it seems to have started pouring again immediately.
Even in the original world, it often rained on and off. She doesn’t know why it bothers her.
She could feel her hair swelling up. Sayaka combed a tuft of hair that hung over her shoulder with a hand comb.
“We’ve got a roof over our heads-nyaaa”
While Sayaka is worried about the weather, Misuzu doesn’t seem to be bothered by it at all.
The mere fact that two girls are walking outside their room at this time of night makes Sayaka feel uneasy and unbearable while Misuzu is completely unfazed.
Sayaka looked worriedly at Misuzu’s back, wondering if she was less cautious or just less aware of the general dangers posed by the current situation.
“Hey, Nekoyama-san…….can we not do this right now, after all? If I apologize properly tomorrow, I don’t think Ryuzaki-kun will be angry with me.”
The bedroom of the reinforcement candidate chosen by process of elimination – Reika Queenigaoka – seems to be absent.
Sayaka doesn’t know where she went at this time of night. They waited for a while and she didn’t come back, so it’s not like she went to the bathroom or anything.
She is usually accompanied by a classmate, Kiryuin Subaru, who is rumored to be her childhood friend, a groom or a servant.
She may be sleeping in the boys’ room, Sayaka wondered.
To be clear, Subaru Kiryuin is a pretty good looking boy, and Reika Queenigaoka is a pretty beautiful girl – or perhaps a bewitching beauty would be more accurate.
Maybe that’s what it means to be together all the time.
If there are romantic feelings growing between them, they will probably want to do that.
Sayaka also wants to spend as much time as possible with Ran, if she can.
“I’m not sure if I should have forced myself to come with Inugami-san or Shirayuki-san…….”
Immediately after the transfer, Sayaka and Emi were yelled at and cursed by the frustrated Mikoshiba Aya. It was none other than Kanami and Saki who broke in between them and made peace.
They wouldn’t be happy to wake them up in the middle of the night, but they would have come along.
Sayaka starts to feel regret that Misuzu’s words, “It’s a pity to wake them up”, made her leave them out of the choice.
“Shouldn’t I go back to the bedroom now and get the girls?”
“……, we’re here!”
In the meantime, she seems to have arrived at the place where she was supposed to meet Tsubasa Ryuzaki.
Misuzu opens the door of the room without knocking.
Misuzu pops out and looks into the room. Unintentionally, Sayaka also puts her face in the gap of the door like Misuzu.
“Ryuzaki-kun.”
With a fluttering wave of her hand, Misuzu makes a sweet sound in a small animalistic gesture.
“This is not a reason to be flirtatious with the boys in front of you or to look cute.”
Sayaka has found the love of her life in Ran Kirishima, and because of his skills, she is forbidden to flirt or be charming to other boys.
But why? In Sayaka’s mind, there was a hint of discomfort – like a small claw mark that stuck.
Before the transfer, Misuzu was certainly more charming than she is now, no matter whether the other person is a boy or a girl. Or has she become a little more mature these days?
Her relationship with Shigenobu Torao is strained, Sayaka and the others, who had little contact with the group at the top of the hierarchy also knew about it.
Sayaka wondered how Misuzu was when she interacted with the other boys. She even wonders if she ever showed her “Misuzu-ness”.
“Sorry, I’m late.”
“Oh, Nekoyama-san. I’m so glad you’re here. I was worried because you were not coming.”
Ryuzaki Tsubasa is standing by the window, looking suspicious. His eyes swim and circle around Misuzu, then his gaze catches Sayaka.
Their eyes meet momentarily and Sayaka looks away reflexively.
It’s not that she doesn’t like Ryuzaki Tsubasa. It’s just that Sayaka isn’t very good at making eye contact with boys.
“What do you want to talk about?”
“Can you come over here so I can talk to you?”
Leaning against the wall by the window, Ryuzaki beckons Sayaka. He is breathing heavily, as if he is nervous, and his body is shaking.
In response to Ryuzaki’s invitation, Misuzu unguardedly enters the room.
Sayaka stopped momentarily to follow, and then looked around the room.
“…..is okay, right?”
The warning from Yuri kept on repeating inside her head.
Her classmate, a boy named Hirokatsu Yamashiro, was looking for Sayaka in the middle of the night.
It’s not that Sayaka thinks too highly of her own worth and it’s not that she’s overly self-conscious, it is the opposite, she has low self-esteem and underestimates her own worth.
Anyway, Sayaka is a young flower girl in high school. Like Yuri, she is not strong enough to sleep soundly in an open storeroom, but she knows the value that the world places on “active high school girls” is much higher than she imagined.
She would never have acted so carelessly if she had not been in a well guarded palace, where she could have called on the knights and senior servants in case of emergency.
“I can’t leave Nekoyama-san alone.”
Nevertheless, the reason why Sayaka has taken such a dangerous step is probably due above all to her own feelings of kindness.
If anything happens to Misuzu, her beloved Kirishima Ran will be hurt.
For Sayaka, Misuzu is supposed to be a powerful and good rival for Ran. It was not such a lowly sentiment that her disappearance might increase the possibility of being with Ran.
In fact, that’s part of Sayaka’s charm.
Of course, Misuzu could not refuse the request of her classmate, Tsubasa Ryuzaki, outright. She has a lack of caution – a shallow act, Sayaka confirms but it was a kind of beauty of Misuzu.
Therefore, both of them cannot blame anyone for the situation they find themselves in. This is the result of Sayaka’s own efforts and Misuzu’s own thinking.
“I think it’s safe to say that it was bound to happen”
However, —-.
“That’s my boy, Tsubasa! I thought it would be impossible to talk to Nekoyama-san and call her in the middle of the night. You’re good!”
Sayaka turns around at the sound of a familiar voice.
She hugged her body as if she felt a chill and jumped back from the direction of the voice. As soon as the voice came into view, Sayaka’s expression turned grim.
“–Lies.”
(TL: 嘘)(Like anime cliche)
“Hi, Sadogashima-san. I’m sorry to call you so late at night.”
There was a boy, Hirokatsu Yamashiro, with a gentle smile on his face and his hands clasped in front of his chest, looking truly sorry.
As usual, he has a friendly, kind smile. There is no hint of danger or anything out of the ordinary in his face.
But Sayaka also don’t believe, and doesn’t want to believe, she knew what Yuri had said must be right.
Remembering her warning, Sayaka readied herself.
“What? Did you come too, Yamashiro?”
“Yes, by the way, Sayaka-chan. The only person who needs to talk to Nekoyama-san is Tsubasa-chan, so you can stay out of her way and talk to me.”
With a smile on his face, Hirokatsu Yamashiro turns Misuzu’s attention back to Ryuzaki.
Leaning against the wall by the window, Ryuzaki Tsubasa stands upright and cracks his mouth open. It’s an obvious reaction that anyone would understand as that of a pure-hearted boy who is about to confess his love.
Not to mention Misuzu, who is more pure than Sayaka, who can’t help but pay attention to Tsubasa Ryuzaki.
“Ryuzaki-kun. What’s an important thing you wanna tell me-nyaa?”
Misuzu walks over to Tsubasa with a gesture that makes her look like a little cat.
Sayaka probably should have stopped this. However, all of Sayaka’s attention is diverted to another alarming matter that has arisen in front of her.
“…… Yamashiro-kun.”
“What’s the matter, Sadogashima-san? You seem to be very wary of me. Don’t worry, I’m not thinking of taking advantage.”
“If a boy called me in the middle of the night, who wouldn’t be alarmed…….”
Hirokatsu Yamashiro scratches his cheeks, muttering “I see” in Sayaka’s words.
Hiroskatsu lowers his eyebrows and caresses his mouth as if he is troubled. Sayaka is taken aback by his innocent, boyish gesture.
A good-natured and usual classmate. The soft smile that comes naturally to him, the gentle, caring tone of his voice, are no different from those of a normal person.
“In fact, it was not Tsubasa-chan who had business with Sadogashima-san, but me. I’m sorry I had to call you.”
“I’m fine with it, but……”
Sayaka can feel him slowly creeping closer and closer.
Sayaka hugs her body with an air of caution and moves with her feet, trying to keep a certain distance.
Sayaka wondered why. His expression is normal and kind, and he is not threatening her. For some reason, she has a slight aversion to being approached by him.
Sayaka suddenly gives up backing away as her shoulder hits the wall.
Realizing that there is no escape, the heartbeat begins to beat faster.
“Sadogashima-san.”
A classmate, Hirokatsu Yamashiro, calls Sayaka’s name in a gentle voice. Even though his gentle face is the same as usual. Why is Sayaka so afraid?
Before she knows it, Sayaka is cornered against the wall – the wrong side of the wall from where Ryuzaki is. With her back against the wall, she turns her head and looks at Hirokatsu with an unintentional upward glance.
In the moonlight, Hirokatsu’s cheeks looked slightly cherry-red.
Hirokatsu swallowed his spit, moistened his lips and blinked his slightly heated eyes. It was almost at the same time that Sayaka felt a sense of déjà vu in his behavior and he made his next move.
“…… Sadogashima-san.”
“Yamashiro-kun?”
As soon as Sayaka looks up, Hirokatsu’s arm is placed against the wall. As if to protect Sayaka, who has become small due to anxiety and nervousness, Hirokatsu and his body close to the ground. It’s called the “wall-don”. Sayaka’s face – she presses her arm against the wall right behind her, and they look at each other from the distance of her breath.
No, it would be a misnomer to say that they look at each other. Hiroskatsu’s gaze is that of a passionate lover of the opposite sex. Sayaka’s gaze is different from that of Hirokatsu. The temperature, the emotion – everything was different.
“Sadogashima-san. Will you go out with me……?”
“……, eh?”
The words were spoken in a sexy voice, with cheeks dyed and loving eyes. Unable to grasp his intentions at once, Sayaka let out a strange cry.
“Go out with you?, um, ……”
“I think I’ve fallen in love with Sadogashima-san.”
The feeling of déjà vu that she had just experienced came back to her mind with greater clarity than before.
He had the same look in his eyes as when Haruto Tanaka confessed to Sayaka not long after she arrived in this world. The look on his face when he has a true love for someone, when he shakes off his nervousness, his anxiety and everything else and has the courage to confess his love. It’s a very cool moment for a boy – the kind of look that makes a girl’s heart flutter.
Kyun — and normally, Sayaka’s heart would have been shot through very easily.
Even if he wasn’t the type of boy she liked, the situation, the time of day, the place, and so on, would have shaken the maiden’s heart, albeit a little.
Anyway, Sayaka now has one boy who is more important than anyone else – the one she loves and misses.
“Sorry, Yamashiro-kun. I mean, what can I say,…..I don’t know if I’d like to be told that all of a sudden…….”
Feeling the coldness of the wall on her back, Sayaka tries to escape somehow.
It was not easy to escape from his arms, or even his elbows, which were wrapped around Sayaka in a tight position against the wall.
“It’s okay if you don’t want to answer right now. I hope we can get to know each other slowly, at our own pace.”
Sayaka can hear the pounding of her heart and the heartbeat of her classmate, Hirokatsu Yamashiro.
She can feel her ears heating up and her cheeks dampened by his ragged breath.
Whether it’s embarrassment, nervousness, anxiety, fear, or some other emotion, Sayaka’s face is so hot that she thinks her glasses might fog up.
It’s probably the first time she’s ever been this close to a boy other than Ran.
“Yamashiro-kun…….”
“Hey-nyaa. Yamashiro-kun…… I want you to wait a minute. You’re being too persistent-nyaa…….You’re making Sayaka nervous……”
Misuzu pleads with a troubled voice while pulling the hem of Hirokatsu’s uniform.
Misuzu smiles apologetically and scratches her cheeks. At the wall, Tsubasa Ryuzaki had a disappointing face and was weakly reaching into the void.
She left her luggage on the train and got off in a hurry, realizing it just as the doors were closing, and as she watched the train go by – she thought she might reach for it like that, Sayaka thought.
Misuzu is a natural sweetheart and looks up at Hirokatsu with a troubled look while still holding the hem. Even Hirokatsu, a wholesome boy, would be hard to resist Misuzu’s flirtatious gestures and voice, and Sayaka breathed a sigh of relief.
Hirokatsu looks at Misuzu with only his face while he wall-dongs Sayaka – or in this case, elbow-dongs her. Hirokatsu was looking at Misuzu with his usual calm and smiling face.
“Eh? It’s none of your business, Nekoyama-san.”
With a whoosh, a cold wind pierced Sayaka’s chest and throat.
A freezing cold wind rushed through her whole body, and she felt as if she were being attacked. It was not only Sayaka. Misuzu, who was directly exposed to the cold wind, had a look on her face that she had never seen before – she looked terribly shocked and confused, and was holding her left breast with both hands.
“If you have time to be concerned about other people’s love life, why don’t you listen to Tsubasa-chan? Why are you coming here? I don’t get it”
His face is still the same friendly smile – only his voice, with its icy temperature, comes out of his mouth without hesitation.
At a classmate’s change of heart, Misuzu was upset by the unfamiliar appearance. At a loss for words, she turned over in silence.
Hirokatsu’s voice is always gentle and sweet. Sayaka may have never seen him like this before.
Hirokatsu’s face, which had been glaring at Misuzu, slowly turned towards Sayaka.
A strange uneasiness, neither fear nor awe, overcomes Sayaka and she is unable to move.
“Sadogashima-san, didn’t you say you wanted a boyfriend before? Would you like me to be your boyfriend?”
“No, I don’t…”
“Didn’t you say that girls are also curious about boys, and you also said you wanted a good person? ―――――― Didn’t you say that?”
Hirokatsu bumps his elbow against the wall in a threatening manner. The calm look on his face has completely collapsed, and he glares at Sayaka with the same icy glare as his voice.
His gaze pressures Sayaka to stand upright with good posture.
“You’re so pretty, Sadogashima, if you have a boyfriend, it would be a shame.”
Hirokatsu’s hand reaches for Sayaka’s hair. Just before his fingers were about to touch the tips of her hair, Sayaka flicked Hirokatsu’s hand.
Sayaka didn’t want to be touched – it was a reflex action.
The dry sound of skin hitting skin echoes through the air, and Sayaka cowers in fear.
The smile had disappeared from Hirokatsu’s face.
Hirokatsu thrusts his blizzard-cold, icicle-sharp gaze at Sayaka and rubs his red, swollen palms.
“Girls are interested in erotic things, aren’t they?”
“——”
The corner of Hirokatsu’s mouth twists in contempt.
“Don’t you want a boy who will take all your stress and tiredness away? Wouldn’t you like to have a boy who can take all the stress and fatigue of the day and give you a hug?”
“——–”
The palm of Hirokatsu’s hand, which Sayaka struck, was enveloped in a faint light.
Apparently, he had healed it with his own healing magic.
“If it were me, I’d take all your load, right? In return, it would be nice if you could take my load as well, Sadogashima-san. If we’re lovers, we deserve that, don’t we?”
“—–”
Sayaka’s heartbeat is racing and she can’t concentrate.
Hirokatsu’s words slip from her right ear to her left.
It’s like a headache – is this pulsating heartbeat due to nervousness, fear or regret or all three?
“I don’t know what you didn’t like about Haruto-chan, but… Don’t be so hard on yourself, just be true to your desires and give yourself over to them. Don’t you think it’s easier that way and you’ll have a happier future.”
“——”
“If it were me, I’d stay by your side for the rest of my life, Sadogashima-san. It’s good, right? I mean, girls want to do it all the time, but they’re just holding back to keep up appearances or something, aren’t they?”
“—–”
Is Hirokatsu getting frustrated with Sayaka for not responding?
Or is it the emotional pressure – the overload on the mind – that is causing the rush of emotions to stop?
‘I want Sayaka’ – those are the only words Yamashiro Hirokatsu could think of and he began to rant.
“Let go of your pride and all that, and just live up to your desires. Why do girls always pretend that they’re not interested, or that they’re naive and innocent? You’re a human being, you’re supposed to have a sexual desire. You don’t have to go through all the trouble. You don’t have to refuse because your body wants it. That’s what women and men are for. There’s nothing to be ashamed of, and nothing wrong with wanting each other. …… If Sadogashima-san wants me to do something, I’ll do my best to do it. If it makes Sadogashima-san happy, I can do anything. So, Sadogashima-san, don’t be so stubborn and give in to your desires, okay?”
“…………No”
“Or is it harassment? Are you mocking the men who suffer and writhe because they can’t resist their sexual desires? Women – women – because they are the ones who are wanted. Do you think that we are better than you? That you look at men as if they were lower creatures? Do you think it’s ridiculous to see us pathetically flirting with women? Do you think it’s funny?”
“NO……!”
“What?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Yamashiro.”
A scream echoes through the room.
At Sayaka’s exclamation, Misuzu’s shoulders shake with fear. She raises her head and looks around her with a tragic look on her face, as if she is troubled.
In the back, the person who brought Sayaka and Misuzu into this situation, so to speak, can be said to be the main culprit, Ryuzaki Tsubasa, he seems to have no idea what happened, and reveals his dismay.
“Oi, hey, Yamashiro ……. This is not the plan. —-”
“Shut up, you bottom-feeder who can’t pick up a single woman. Don’t interfere with me, you dark-skinned gloom.”
A spear of icy words shoots out and pierces Ryuzaki’s heart.
His eyes are bloodshot, his breath is ragged, and his pupils are dilated. If there was someone who could see the situation from a bird’s eye view calmly, that person would have judged that Hirokatsu Yamashiro was not in a normal state of mind.
“Yamashiro, just calm down….. I want you to tell me what you’re trying to say in a way that’s easier for me to understand.”
“I’m telling you to have sex with me!”
His elbows come off the wall, and Hirokatsu’s hands slam against the wall. If lovers do it, it should be a little bit cute, because it shows the desperation of a boy.
Now it’s not normal – it’s just a simple act of constraint for a madman to try and keep his prey from escaping.
“What is it? What’s going on? Why is everyone so calm? Why do you accept this situation? I can’t go home, I can’t see my family, I can’t do anything. —- I’ve had enough of this life!”
In reaction to clapping his hands against the wall, the sleeves of his uniform rolled up slightly.
His left wrist was rolled up and exposed, with countless lacerations etched into it. Sayaka can’t help but look away.
The next thing she saw was a blotchy orange abrasion on his neck and a strange mark, as if a rope or something had been pressed against it. And finally – Sayaka looked up as hard as she could and saw it.
“…………”
Like the other saints, the name of the skill given to Hirokatsu when he was summoned is floating above his head.
The skill given to Hirokatsu was – <b>[Instant Rebirth Infinity]</b> . The ability did not need to be explained.
“Hey, isn’t it okay? I received Haruto-chan’s blessing. I don’t think you’re a virgin. Ms. Sadogashima is cute, so if you haven’t popped it, it’s a waste.”
Hirokatsu’s hand is placed on Sayaka’s shoulder.
The twitching fingertips grabbed the flesh of Sayaka’s shoulder and didn’t let go.
“……Yamashiro- kun.”
“Nekoyama-san.”
Misuzu looks at Hirokatsu and Sayaka with a face that looks like it’s about to burst into tears. Tsubasa Ryuzaki quietly approached behind Misuzu.
He reached out with a trembling hand and tried to touch Misuzu.
Tsubasa Ryuzaki tries to touch Misuzu by reaching out for a quivering hand. He tries to hug Misuzu’s body, making his ears bright red.
Seeing Hirokatsu’s lust and madness. Ryuzaki took his chance to be playing a dependable boy or protector of Misuzu, that kind of emotion-it’s a calculation.
“… Nekoyama-san. I’ll protect Nekoyama-san…”
Tsubasa Ryuzaki reaches for Misuzu’s shoulder while muttering in his mouth. Misuzu, distracted by Hirokatsu and Sayaka, does not notice the approach of her classmates.
“Sadogashima-san, I love you…”
“No, stop, stop …!”
Hirokatsu grabbed Sayaka by the shoulders and brought his face close to her. Her whole body convulsed with fear and she felt weak.
Sayaka’s skill – her anti-magic could help her run away but she’s worried about Misuzu.
The breath on the tip of her nose, Sayaka blatantly frowned.
Even though they are the same boy, they are completely different. Ran Kirishima, who attacked with bare hostility, and Haruto Tanaka, who looked at Sayaka and shook overnight with a disgusting look, are the same as Hirokatsu Yamashiro-even though he is a boy of the same age. The disgust of the emotions directed was incomparable.
“Stop —-!”
An instinctive rejection of the approaching lips, or perhaps a reflex, Sayaka pushes Yamashiro Hirokatsu away from her
Even though they are also high school students, clad in fighting spirit, the current state of Hirokatsu, who is about to take Sayaka’s lips, is mentally and physically defenseless. He was struck by surprise and lost his balance.
“……Shima-kun.”
“What?”
“Kirishima-kun.”
Her legs are shaking and she can’t move.
Leaning her back against the wall and chastising her throat for not listening to her fears, Sayaka squeezed out her voice.
“Kirishima-kun————–！！！！！”
The scream from Sayaka roars in the royal palace.
Sayaka, who usually has a downcast look and a quiet atmosphere, shouted as much as she could.
It’s not a meaningless – or even inexpressible – scream. Sayaka shouted the name of her hero, the boy she loved more than anyone else in this world.
At the sudden cry, not only Yamashiro Hirokatsu, but also Ryuzaki and Misuzu, unconsciously stiffen on the spot.
The momentary surprise surpassed any words of confusion, upset, astonishment. With Sayaka’s exclamation, time stopped.
“………… kiri, shima?”
Sayaka screams, filled with all her feelings, does not reach the hero, and time begins to move again.
Hirokatsu, who had been pushed by Sayaka, stood up shakily, rubbing his buttocks.
It was the image of a madman who had lost his cool and lost his head. It was the image of a classmate – a friend – who had gone over the edge, unable to bear the psychological pressure.
She wished that the man in front of her was someone she didn’t know well.
If it was a stranger – a pervert who attacked Sayaka, Sayaka would have been able to shoot a spell or two to protect her.
But he is a familiar face – a classmate with whom she sat and studied for nearly six months in the same school before the transition.
If someone calls her for being naive, she can’t deny it. Sayaka has sold her soul to Ran, but she is still essentially the same person.
Sayaka wanted everyone to get along and not fight. If they talk to each other then they can understand each other.
It is impossible to overturn the training, education, and acquired things, just as Misuzu, who was brainwashed by Ran’s skill, cared for her friend and classmate, Ryuzaki Tsubasa.
“……Sorry, Yamashiro-kun. I love Kirishima-kun. I love him more than anything in this world.”
Breathing hard and with his hand on the side of his head, Hirokatsu glared at Sayaka.
Without looking away from his gaze, Sayaka spelled out her true feelings in words.
“That’s why I can’t have sex with Yamashiro-kun”
“………………………..you know.”
Hirokatsu was rejected outright.
But Sayaka’s words were not enough to stop his outburst of emotion.
“Kirishima, you say? What can a …… dead man do? It’s true that I’m sorry about Kirishima, but ……. you can’t be happy if you keep thinking about someone who is no longer with us.”
If the name is still alive in the class, would he have been able to stop him?
Or would he have been able to reason with him?
“So, why don’t we just forget about that guy? I’ve got the skills, I’m not going to die. I don’t want to make a comparison, but I’m not going to leave Sadogashima-san alone like Kirishima did. So why don’t you just forget about that guy? –You’re not a child.”
Gentle – no. Hirokatsu’s voice is different from his usual gentle voice, it is a kind of resignation that has passed through madness.
It’s a mass of words like air spitting out of a shell, without even a freezing, aggressive temperature.
Slowly, Hirokatsu walks closer to Sayaka.
He walked up to her like a zombie and confronted her.
“…………Then you can kiss me.”
“…… What?”
“If you don’t want to have pleasurable sex because you don’t feel sorry for Kirishima for leaving you to die, then fine. I’ve given up.”
Hirokatsu’s movement, which had been staggering, changed.
He jumped out of the way as if he were rushing and went into a two-handed don stance. Fearing that her escape route would be blocked, Sayaka wore a fighting spirit and tried to push Hirokatsu away.
‘I’m not going to play the same hand twice’ – that’s what Sayaka was going to say.
“I’m not going to play the same hand twice!!!!”
It’s a line that comes straight from her head.
Hirokatsu’s hands grabbed her outstretched arms, trying to push her. He is also wearing the same fighting spirit as Sayaka, and restrains her with a force that tries to crush her.
Sayaka puts in a lot of effort to shake it off.
But the weak Sayaka could not resist the monstrous strength of the boys who also wore the fighting spirit.
“Sadogashima-san.”
Hirokatsu’s face came very close to hers.
There is a face of the opposite sex that she doesn’t like almost at the distance of her breath – the feeling of rejection is so strong that Sayaka reflexively tried to break free —- This is the moment.
“Gaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!”
The air vibrates with an eerie roar that drowns out the sound of rain pounding on the windows.
Time stops again as the roar is so overwhelming that it seems to be accompanied by mass. The air shakes with the roar and the glass of the windows blows out with a crash.
The shards of glass, scattered like stardust, fly up, becoming grains of sand and mist.
Just as Sayaka turned her head to see what was going on – the next moment, a crack appeared in the wall of the palace.
“—Eh?”
The wall of the royal palace is overwhelmed by the overwhelming mass.
The wall, which should be thick and robust, expands like a balloon- but it was not elastic enough, and it was crushed from the outside.
Countless cracks caused it to crack and collapse. The fragments of the exploding wall are somehow swallowed by the distorted space that suddenly appears, and disappear completely.
As the debris disappears, a gust of wind blows through the hole in the wall.
In order to guard against the strong wind pressure, Hirokatsu took his hand off Sayaka’s arm and created a wall with magic.
The dust raised by the blast enveloped the room.
A cloud of smoke envelops the room and shuts out all vision.
“[Dragonic Metamorphosis!]”
Ryuzaki’s voice rose in the dust and a gale, different from the previous one, swept through the room.
The tornado that had been created swept up the dust and drove it outside.
The wall of sand disappeared, and the uncertain vision finally returned to certainty.
When Sayaka noticed, she was far from Hirokatsu, and Sayaka noticed the bookshelf behind her was about to fall.
She managed to push back the bookshelf and avoid it but she became too tired and collapsed on the ground.
“Don’t you dare touch my Sayaka. ——!”
As she tries to muster her strength back, she sees him in the centre of her regained vision.
There he was, acting as if he was a fearless red devil. No..He really did become like a devil.
The owner of the most beloved name in the world, which she cried out in a desperate attempt, was standing in front of Sayaka.
“Kirishima-kun…”
The atmosphere rang in the roar of the demon.
A violent threatening act packed with overwhelming voice mass. However, Sayaka was not afraid of the roar.
It was the moment when the prince – the prince, who is more reliable than anyone or anything else for Sayaka, came to the rescue.
