If this doesn’t work then there’s nothing more to be done .
And then the explosions clears—
—We sighed with relief when Himiko’s figure disappeared without a trace .
“You did it . ”
“Yeah—As expected I’m worn out, but . ”
While grimacing Abeno Kaguya was smiling .
And then with an indescribable look on the Magical Girl Morishita’s sister she bowed her head to us .
“Uhm… Tha…nk…you… For helping me…”
When me and Abeno Kaguya heard those words we shook our heads left and right while smiling bitterly .
“The ones who were helped are us . Maria-chan . ”
“The locking technique was splendidly done . It would’ve been over if it was just us . Besides, little sister-chan?”
“…What?”
“You don’t need to thank us . We have a debt that we have to pay back to your Onii-chan . ”
“To my brother? I heard it earlier—But what did my Onii-chan do?”
And, in the surroundings for a lot of times today, an unknown overwhelming spiritual force appeared .
“Just a moment, Abeno Kaguya!”
“I get it! Even if I say retreat, a place to escape is—Anyhow, everyone…Run from this place! As expected a strategy for this… I have nothing against it!”
As I was evacuating I was putting a defense barrier on my back .
The other two were also the same— Seemingly, they were setting up a defense barrier of 15 meter radius .
“Lela Sakaguchi?”
I shook my head left and right to Abeno Kaguya who’s teary eyed .
“Stop with the teary eyes . You becoming teary eyes is proof that there’s nothing to do, that’s why . ”
In front of our eyes a bear mascot of 1 meter radius floated in the air .
However, it’s hard to believe from his cute appearance but his spiritual pressure is incomparable with Himiko’s from earlier .
“Domin…?”
After Morishita’s sister muttered that, I felt like I could hear Bofubofu sounds from it .
“Haha! It’s a bit irregular but, congratulations for subjugating Himiko! And with that being said I’ll have you do a lot more jobs that I’ll ask from you!”
The so-called Domin bear mascot nodded and laughed happily many times .
“What are you on about? Domin? Wasn’t it that if Himiko is defeated then all will end?”
“Yeah . For this time the system is finished . ”
Morishita’s sister’s expression was like she didn’t understand what happened and muttered something .
“This… time…?”
No, well even I have no clue what this bear is talking about .
“That’s right, mokyu . Maria-chan? The deliverance of the best bait to the singularity outbreak Himiko . Do you know the other objective?”
“The system’s reset?”
“That’s correct, mokyu . There’s also the objective of system reset, mokyu . Well, it’s like resetting a personal computer . If you let the system run for a long time there will be trash and errors accumulated in the magic circuits . ”
“So?”
“Himiko is also a part of the System . That’s why, a renewal needs to be done from time to time . And then the renewal is… Even with a personal computer, upgrading the system specifications is needed . But, a magical girl with a more powerful magical power than Himiko’s clone has never appeared . Well, that’s the situation, mokyu . ”
There was a cold sweat going to my chin from my cheek .
How far does this horrible system go on the spider’s silk?
Morishita’s sister understood this too and asked the mascot with a speechless expression .
“…When you subdue Himiko, perhaps what happens is not the destruction of the system…?”
“That’s right, mokyu! It’s substituting the core of the system! You’re amazing, Maria-chan! You were chosen to be a new core for the system!”
Morishita’s sister collapsed on the spot while trembling from fear .
She also understands the difference of power between her and her opponent .
Honestly, it’s like saying to go against a tank with a bamboo spear… From the start it’s an impossibly hard game .
That’s the difference between us and this existence that is a mascot doll .
—That’s why, going against it is impossible .
“Haha… isn’t that… cruel? I used Full Burst since I thought this would be the end… But, now I’ll take part as a Death God…?”
At the end of eradicating the unreasonable when she thought she saw hope, what awaited was just irrationality .
She collapsed and began to cry .
“There’s no need to worry, mokyu . You’ll immediately lose your consciousness . Since your whole body will be used by the new system, mokyu . But, well… Your consciousness will return at the singularity outbreak . At that time will your consciousness be clear and you will feast on the heart and intestines on the strongest Magical Girl at that time . Well, your body will be in remote control so it’s an easy job . ”
Morishita’s sister put her hands on her mouth to keep herself from vomiting .
“I have a question . ”
Abeno Kaguya with a cold expression asked the mascot .
“What is it, mokyu? Abeno’s little girl?”
“Why did you build this system so long ago, Ashiya Douman?”
