Interlude 3
.
Seishuuin Ena, the unexpected development caused a sudden impulse inside her
.
「To think that god will come as his majesty’s stand-in……」
Ena watched over the fierce battle while muttering.
Kushanagi Godo in the form of a youth was starting his showdown against the new devil king extermination hero right at this moment.
Kushanagi Godo repeatedly transformed and toyed with the girl hero.
The partner who was assisting the hero was also a high school girl wearing her school uniform,
「The hero business recently is properly heading to the direction of gender equality huh. So admirable. Diversity is important.」
She spoke of her impression without any care in some sense.
The battlefield was on the stone stage. Under that wide altar, Madam Aisha who was her protection target after a fashion was watching the battle with her sweaty hands clenched.
But, it didn’t look like that she would be in danger.
And so Ena relaxed  and watched the battle from the stone roof of the shrine.
Devil king extermination hero VS the warrior of anti fate Kushanagi Godo.
It was a very unique battle. Ena was watching with a flat feeling without cheering on for either side. But.
「Eh──────?」
After Kushanagi Godo summoned a bow and a quiver, she was startled from the bottom of her heart.
The girl hero who was apparently connected to a sword god somewhere had just said something that Ena couldn’t disregard at this time.
If there was that kind of circumstance, then……Ena took out a talisman from her chest pocket.
The divine bird Yatagarasu had just absorbed the girl hero and began to desperately escape.
Kushanagi Godo was firing platinum arrows one after another in an arc toward the bird’s back, wings, and tail.
Yatagarasu busily moved to all directions and continued to dodge the arrows just barely.
This was convenient. Ena softly threw the talisman. The Shikigami talisman that was prepared for her by a practitioner of Seishuiin family faded away.
She slipped the talisman among the feathers of the escaping Yatagarasu.
The divine bird should have terrifyingly sensitive senses. But as expected she couldn’t notice Ena’s shikigami in this situation where she was extremely cornered like this.
What was left was to wait for the notification. Then she would just need to move──.
For now Ena prayed to the heaven that the girls’ escape would go well. After all their enemy was a god, so she also had to carefully pick the god who she would pray to.
