Strength is only the result of misleading weakness.
=====================================================================================
Ato power Dashi Janken ── System.
The power that can beat any power.
No matter how strong the opponent.
No matter how brutal the opponent.
It faces.
It fits.
It adapts.
Answer back.
And that answer is ── The Awakening.
As the hero of a story.
Awakens a new power.
The powers of the persons with powers were granted to them by the fairies, so, I’ve heard that they have been regulated.
For bets work in the Faerie War, a power that can destroy the balance of the game can not exist.
To be brief ── an invincible person can not exist.
A great loss occur in gambling, because there would be sense to bet if the end of the battle was already decided.
However, the creation of 「F」 System, marks a clear line with other people with powers.
The fairy who rebelled against the existence of the Faerie War ── Zeion. He (or she) created an existence to end the war.
It was created to beat all powers. Absolute power, she is the person with the strongest power.
Can you beat someone like that?
The answer is never ──.
It is impossible to win. At least, it is impossible for me.
But although ── say that I can not win, I have to.
“──¡Al floor, Hitomi-san!”
The cry of Toki-kun made my body react reflexively. I hunched instantly, placing both hands on the asphalt parking ground. After that, something happened at a tremendous rate over my head. It was an iron pipe that had changed strangely.
Looking up, everything became clear.
Reflected in my left eye was Toki-kun who had thrown a kick to the man’s abdomen. The enemy tumbled several meters on the asphalt, throwing up the contents of your stomach. There being no need to continue covering me, I stood.
Although I am not a dead weight, I can not fight, I think there is no difference.
“Now, let us proceed.”
Toki-kun spoke in a firm voice. He had some blood on his cheek. It was a wound that left him the subject that had turned the iron pipe in a sickle with chain.
The power of the enemy is to change the form of iron freely as if it were an alchemist. He is someone with the ability to transform their weapons. It’s certainly something terrifying ── that power, Aki-chan had already discussed in previous reconnaissance mission.
That information had already been shared with all members.
If we know even the smallest details of the powers of the enemy, then it will not be a problem for Toki Shugo.
“If. We must lucirnos more and more. ”
With Toki-kun at the helm, we invaded the factory. I can not confirm whether we have defeated the enemies are alive or dead, but do not stop to finish them.
The hideout 「F」 ── The Food Processing Plant Yuzuhara.
We, Fallen Black, we decided to split into 3 groups.
Toki-kun and I formed the A-chan and Aki-kun Akutagawa group form the group B. And finally, Fan-chan form the third.
Group A and B are intended to act as a distraction and lure. Our role is to cause uproar and draw the eye of the enemy upon us.Meanwhile, Akutagawa-kun and the others also act as a distraction.
While the enemy’s eyes are fixed on us ── Fan-chan will percolate in the center of the factory.
Although Fan-chan has an individual, good role, she is something like a large number into one, so it will be fine.
“I wonder if Akutagawa-kun and the others will be fine.”
Inside the factory, on the linoleum floor, he was running side by side with Toki-kun.
“They’ll be fine. Natsu can be adapted to any enemy ── And if that bastard gets serious Akutagawa not lose to most enemies. ”
“Heh. You have a very good opinion of Akutagawa-kun. ”
“…… It’s just my honest opinion. Although I can not stand that guy, he has a power capable of winning. ”
It’s what Toki-kun said.
“Dead Space” ── The power of niche market
As a niche market, it is creating a new space.
Yanagi Akutagawa can create all kinds of spaces.
You can create a room between two rooms, you can create a path between two paths, you can create an atmosphere between two atmospheres.
Sews, cuts, tears, cracks, breaks …… you can find a space among all the “lines” existing in the world. It introduces and expands it by force, violently distorts and a world is built just for him there.
A power like that ── when used for defense, can demonstrate its true effectiveness.
A bizarre and spooky shield that does not allow the invasion of anyone.
Even the destructive power of Kiryuu Hajime, “Lucifer’s Strike”, it would be impossible to cross the shield (although the person in question has said that ” it would be easy” ).
“By the way, Hitomi-san. Have you been contacted Fantasia? ”
“Hm. Even … ah, already he arrived. ”
We stopped. So I see my phone screen to view the message.
“He did?”
“…… It was useless. He could not find a method to control System. I wonder if you would not let that information in the system. ”
“…… Which means, after all, we have to capture and interrogate someone quickly.”
“You’re right.”
The work of Fan-chan, while the other members caused uproar, was to infiltrate enemy territory and find a method to control System.
The power of absolute victory ── System.
We could never beat the girl with long hair is floating in the glass tank.
── why we should not confront it.
It would be impossible to win if the face ── for that reason, our plan is to not deal with it.
Against the girl who is in a deep sleep, what we must do is let to sleep.
At this time, System is under the control of 「F」 because it has not yet been released in the world.
He has not shown the special ability of the strongest power. If it is still in development or you are just giving adjustments do not know, but anyway, System is in a dream state.
In other words, right now, 「F」 is controlling in some way.
── So we find out that way.
That is the method of capturing System I have planned.
Someone with the ability to always win as if it were the protagonist of a shonen manga ── A character so unfair, you should only delete it while still in the creation process to serialize the series.
You should not see the light of day ever. It should be buried in the depths of darkness.
“…… This strategy, if Hajime-kun were here, definitely reject it.”
I feel that feeling, spoke softly.
What we try to do is to win without fighting, it is certainly an unjust strategy. In terms of RPG, it would be like reaching the end without having to deal with the rebirth of the demon king.
It is nothing interesting development, especially if the story has not yet reached its best point. A man who thinks only enjoy battles with superpowers definitely never take this strategy.
“Like say … Whether day or night, you’re always with Kiryuu-san, right?”
I was surprised with what Toki-kun said.
“But just because this is something that guy would never do, does not mean that you can not do it.”
“…… If. It is true. Thank you.”
“I said nothing that deserves a thank you.”
“I’ve thought for a while, but after all, Toki-kun is a good person in the background.”
“That’s only in your head happy.”
Are you hiding her embarrassment, or perhaps is seriously upset? Toki-kun had a rather trivial expression.
“──¡Encontré intruders!”
I heard a scream from afar. When I looked up, an enemy after another gathered down the hall.
Were 8 people.
Unlike Aki-chan, I can not tell if the opponent has powers, but if I rely on the situation, it would be wrong to think that all these subjects have powers. Since people who have been sent to intercept the intruders definitely have to be fit for combat.
“Women costume … Damn … you’re one of those who infiltrated the other day.”
“What did you say…? In other words, it belongs to the group of Kiryuu Hajime? ”
“As I thought, this man is very dangerous. You must have come to attack us directly …… ”
The enemies watched us with a sharp look, as they exchanged words between them. Hajime spoke only on Kiryuu. That man is a very famous person in the Faerie War, even 「F」 has his eye on him.
For them, we are only “fellow Kiryuu Hajime” .
Only an accessory, an aggregate in existence “etc” .
“Hears! Kiryuu Hajime must be hiding somewhere! I’ll kill you, leave immediately! ”
One of the enemies, a young man with a baseball cap, said that in a violent tone.
“… Ahahaha.”
What he said the young man was so funny that made me laugh unintentionally.
“Oh, what a coincidence, I feel the same as you.”
Looking enemies with contempt, spoke arrogantly.
“I, too, dislike Kiryuu Hajime. So I thought I’d beat that guy. ”
Having said that, the enemy began to laugh looking at each other. They made fun of what the woman had said before them.
“Ray … I do not understand a shit what you’re saying! Damn bitch! ”
The man in the baseball cap spoke insolently and a fireball appeared in the palm of your hand. It seems to be a person with the power to control the fire.
He moved his arm and threw the fireball that had formed in his hand.
I fire the shot that threw the man ── hit the target completely. At the time that hit the human body, the flames spread more and more, covering the entire body of the person, completely burning. White fell to the floor screaming in pain.
“Gyahaha! What is this? You were just a useless! ”
The man in the baseball cap began to laugh exuberantly.
However, it seems that noticed immediately.
I was the only one who was celebrating.
None of those who were around the man laughed. It was the other way around. They were pale and looked at the man with the baseball cap with fearful eyes.
“O-Hey! What the you think you’re doing !? ”
Finally, the bald man at his side raised his voice.
“Why are you attacking us? The enemies are out there! ”
At that time, the expression of man with the baseball cap was filled with surprise.
Was expected.
Since for him, one of his companions beside him ── looked like me.
“Ah, you, the bald there, you should be more careful.”
While playing my right eye, I spoke cheerfully.
“I have given the evil eye.”
“Eternal Wink” ── The power of infringement of view.
The eye of the person who is in my range of vision, I can give the power of the evil eye.
My power is not efficient combat, but that does not mean it’s useless.
The power of the evil eye can not be used by me. Only what I can give to others, but when the enemy is in alert mode, my power does not work.
For example, even if you give the evil eye to Toki-kun, this would not work against enemies who are being cautious with us.
But what if you give the evil eye ── the enemy?
Of course, they would not be cautious with one of his comrades. Since it is someone with whom they fight side by side. When they looked at each other, eye contact is formed.
Result ── The evil eye functioned normally.
Right now, when those guys were making fun of me, I used my power and I gave him the evil eye to bald there.
Right after that, the man with the shaved head looked at the guy who had the baseball cap. As a result, the man with the baseball cap was caught in the illusion of the evil eye, which made him confuse a “partner” for the “enemy” , so he proceeded to attack him.
Sincerely.
It is a very problematic skill, but I tell myself.
I can not use it in games one against one, can only be used in some way to a large number of people.
“You said … the evil eye? You, you’ve done something …… ”
The man with the baseball cap who had roasted his friend inadvertently looked at me with eyes full of anger. The effect of the evil eye was over, but although it seems to recognize properly this time, has not taken any action.
His companions act the same. All have a suspicion expression on their faces.
In reality, though my power is not so amazing, if I use it in this way, I do believe it’s a strange power.
Well, a strategy that consists only of cheap threats only has a chance to work. If I do it calmly, it may work.
But if I get at least one chance, then it is enough.
Our forces commander ── attack was on hand to clear the way.
Hyunn!
The knife cut through the air.
Toki-kun strongly held his knife with bad edge and moved quickly. She threw herself alone among opponents, wrapped in disgust.Then, his violence was released.
Short, the boots, the hits and lunges, plus cut back.
A filo truly poor, whether air, clothing, weapons, human flesh, everything was torn stockings.
In the end, there was only one person. Giving a terrible cry in his last moments, the enemy fell on the floor.
“Hey, you know that?”
The only remaining enemy was cornered against the wall. As he pressed the knife into her neck, Toki-kun spoke in a tone trivial.
“Did you know that to be cut by a sheet with a bad edge is much more painful than a large sheet of filo?”
A blood covered blade touched the man’s neck. A serrated edge, looked like the blade of a saw. If you cut from that sheet, it is unlikely to be a clean tear.
The meat fibers were cut one by one only with brute force.
Imagining the possible damage, the man’s face turned blue and his body began to shake with fear.
“Toki-kun, and detente.”
I called quickly, so the knife would cut the neck of his opponent stopped.
“You should’nt do it. You must not kill. ”
“Hitomi-san ……”
“However, it is amazing as always. Your strength is overwhelming without having to use your power. ”
“In my case, it takes time to use my power.”
Hm. Well it is likely, the power of Toki-kun …… as it were, takes too long to finish its route.
In cases of Hajime-kun and Akutagawa-kun, most of their combat skills depend entirely on their powers, but in the case of Toki-kun, he does not depend so much on its power. You can leave most people with powers on the floor, using only his physical strength and his knife.
“So what do you mean that I should kill him? No matter much, right? Anyway, will revive then. ”
“It’s true, but.”
Personally, although I do not really like the mindset of ‘Do not worry, we can revive them with the Dragonballs’ for now is no time to argue.
I looked at the face of the enemy. He had a facial expression somewhat relieved. It could be an expression of gratitude for having stopped the brutality of a violent man.
If so ── I’m sorry.
I today is somewhat cooler.
“Lend me your knife for a moment.”
Although initially had a mysterious expression, Toki-kun gave me his knife in silence. I took the knife under my hand and went down ── with all my strength.
5 centimeters next to the right eye of the opponent.
From the mouth of man, came a gasp. Then, I spoke in a cold tone.
“Go down to eye the next time.”
It was a lie. I have not the courage for that.
“Oh, you want me to say why we have not killed? If a person with powers kills another person with powers, this revives. So I stopped to point to your eye. ”
It was a lie. I have no such ability.
“I will be very careful not to kill you and will continue causing you pain without stopping.”
It was a lie. If I did something like that, I would have done from the start.
“If you do not want that, you tell me everything you know about what you and others are keeping here System.”
“…?! Hmn !? C-How System know what …… ”
“I can see through everything. Thanks to this demonic eye. So you better not lie to me. If you get me to lie ── do you understand, right? ”
Is a lie. The only thing I have is a useless demonic eye can not predict anything.
However, I put a brutal smile without fear, I look at my opponent with contempt and start laughing.
In my mind, I feel I’m acting like this dangerous and terrifying man.
“Come on, answer my question.”
While laughing, I argued strongly that the knife was in my hand. The he spun in circles, showing the cutting edge in front of the man’s face. However, since it is borrowed, I must be careful not to damage it.
“…… That woman so frightening.”
Toki-kun turned.
It is true. If you make a woman mad, this becomes frightening.
That ── I show it very well that guy.
As a result, we get very valuable information.
Unfortunately, there is no way to check whether the information is true, so we repeat the same process with the enemies that we find along the way. We get enough information, so I proceeded to choose the most useful among all.
Fortunately, there were people with strong powers. Is it because they have little experience in war? Or do they neglected because they had a trump card called System? Although details are not very clear, there was no opponent to give us problems Toki-kun and me.
The other 3 people went through something similar, Akutagawa-kun, Aki-chan and Fan-chan were undamaged and collected information constantly.
“In other words … If we manipulate the water tank containing System, we could achieve.”
In the Yuzuhara Food Processing Plant, on the second floor of the main building. We were between the third and fourth conference room.
The place was like an office. It was a place produced by the Akutagawa-kun power. Apart from the people he admitted, no one can see this place. Therefore, we need not worry about being attacked while we’re here.
This was a private place that was right in the middle of enemy territory where all members were meeting. We discussed all the information we had gathered and actions that would take then.
To confirm this, Akutagawa-kun said.
“… Although System is the creation of fairy called Zeion, including a human he is able to make adjustments …… As for fairies, which can make a human is limited …… After「F」has completed System, not to let any human control it …… ”
System’s body is almost complete, but final adjustments have not yet finished. It seems we still have some time.
“So if Akutagawa-kun could control the wicks (machines) that are in that room … System could be sealed permanently.”
“… Wicks? You should stop talking about such a silly way. ”
“C-Shut up.”
“… Well, we can probably make it. Since System is controlled off-line, it seems that there is a great security …… ”
If System was controlled by a special power, there would be no case. But if the computer that controls it is of a technical level of modern society, Akutagawa-kun might be able to. Hear that always leads him hacking tools.
Aki-chan complimented with a smile Akutagawa-kun.
“As expected Senryu. Worth you’re always playing your games. ”
“It’s special ability Hikki a pessimist.”
While Toki-kun laughed, Akutagawa-kun frowned
“… A yankee airhead could never understand such a refined as this skill.”
“Huh?”
“… What?”
“We no longer, and, fight. We are in the middle of enemy territory. ”
Intervened between the two quickly before the situation explodes.
“Tch.” “Hmph.”
The two boys looked upset other side.
A yankee and Hikki appear that are not compatible.
“But, you know, with System, it is very likely to work in a somehow Hitomin ……”
Although Aki-chan spoke cheerfully, his expression froze immediately.
“No good. Somehow, it is very likely to work … Hitomin … san ”
“A-Aki-chan. Okay, do not worry about your speech. Something was wrong with me yesterday. ”
I smiled nervously. After last night, I’ve calmed down considerably and I have reflected on the things I said. Most of the things I said were because he was very angry.
“Hey. W-Really? ”
“If. Although somewhat late. I mean I do not hate the feelings of friendship Aki-chan. ”
“Great. I knew it. Hitomin is Hitomin after all. ”
“… So is it okay to put my headphones?”
“Not that.”
I looked Akutagawa-kun, who spoke casually. Although it looks unsatisfied, it seems intent to hear what I say, because their headphones on her neck were back her head was not placed.
“Ahahaha. Senryu, do not worry. ”
Aki-chan started laughing merrily.
Although we are in enemy territory and we’re going to seal a powerful enemy at a time, there is no tension in us. We are in good condition. Truthfully, I did not feel pressured and my mind is calm.
This may be related to the system of the Faerie War.
We were told that we could revive even if we die. It is a nice size and a very lucky function.
“Reviving even if you die ……”
Previously, Hajime-kun had complained.
“Ka, Ka. These fairies are unpleasant. They understand human habits very well. ”
At first, I wondered why this was not a true real battle of life and death, does a more aggressive battle would not be something more spectacular for the fairies? However, once involved in the war, I understood the truth.
If they had made a real battle of life and death, most people forget aggressiveness and focus more on the “defense” . Fear of being injured, including fear of injuring the opponent, knees tremble and her waist lose their strength.
It would not be a spectacular battle.
Humans are cowards and it is because we are rational creatures.
A human who risk his life to fulfill a desire ── is not common.
For this reason, even if they die, they may return. A system reset so necessary. We, people with powers, but have fallen into this place without wanting altogether, we can return to our daily life from a save point.
And precisely because there is a risk, we can be more active and can be more cruel.
Even if you die, you will revive. We have come to think that.
Although mates, will revive. We have come to think that.
── Faerie War certainly is something distasteful.
“Guys, the number of guards has been reduced! They are just two. ”
Fan-chan, who was staring out the window of the building where the entrance was System, raised his voice.
“Two people ……, Mmm. All right. We will act according to plan, we begin the final phase. ”
I looked all members and told them some words of encouragement.
“Let’s finish this quickly. If we do not soon, Kiryuu Hajime could show up here breezily. ”
* * *
Since they were only two, Toki-kun and Fan-chan easily controlled the situation.
These two stood watching nearby, while the remaining three, including myself, we move into the building.
As we proceeded, we found a door that looked very solid. It was the kind of door that opens and closes two sliding doors on both sides.
“This place is System ……”
When I place my hand, I notice that after all, was closed.
“Akutagawa-kun, please.”
After asking, he stepped forward and raised a hand. He placed his index and middle fingers in the door.
Clack!
As if expand an image on a Smartphone, he spreads your fingers calmly.
At that time, power was activated.
“Dead Space”
In the middle of the right and left sides ── a space was created. metal sound was heard breaking and the door was forced open.
Finally.
The door leading to the final mission ── was opened.
Here the real strategy begins. First, make Aki-chan analyze all found in this place. In case there is someone without power, reduce it using the power of Akutagawa-kun. In case there is a person with powers, I must buy some time by using my demonic eye, then call Toki-kun and Fan-chan when the time is right. While they are responsible for neutralizing all men, Akutagawa-kun would be responsible for hack the machine that controls System …
I was the one who planned this strategy very carefully ── but when I saw what was behind the door, my mind went blank.
He doubted what he saw my eye. I was speechless.
Destruction.
What was there was only the traces of great destruction.
In that as big as a gym space, everything was completely destroyed. Most of the machinery was in place was destroyed, also the walls and ceiling were about to collapse.
But what attracted my attention was in the middle of the room.
There were the debris of the water tank, which was horribly destroyed. The liquid filling the interior was scattered on the floor, while most of the cables and tubes that were attached to the tank were cut.
Was not.
The strongest existence that was supposed to be there ── not there.
“Q-What happened here …?”
It can not be, does anyone has freed System? To eliminate the intruders, they released a very dangerous existence that is incomplete and can not be controlled?
Did ── has gotten out of control? Or possibly ── I self-destructed?
I could not understand the situation. I could only understand one thing. The strategy he had planned and had no sentido──
“Hitomin! A-There! ”
The voice of Aki-chan did you wake up. When I look in the direction pointing, inside the rubble, there was the figure of someone.
“…… Ugh!”
A cold sweat began to leave my body.
What was there was a little girl.
Those dirty clothes white covering her small body. That bright color black hair was so long that reached to the ground.
Although it seemed as docile as a doll, it was much more expressionless than a doll. He had eyes that seemed unfeeling glass balls. He looked in our direction with a vacant expression.
I could not forget it.
Several days ago, this was the girl who was inside that tank vidrio──
“System ……”
Aki-chan had a terrified expression. With this, the possibility of it being a twin is completely ruled out.
If confirmed “Head Hunting” then there is no doubt.
This girl ── was the person with the strongest power ── System.
“……………”
She said nothing. As if it were a doll, as if it were a baby who can not speak, only he saw us with a deadpan look.
── I could not move.
The enemy that should never have been released, now I have it forward. Our strategy was desperately trying to seal, however, our efforts, our plans, all to no avail.
If System had been released ── So, that would mean the end of the war.
“…… Ugh!”
He clenched my teeth tightly. My mind tried to escape from this reality, but I return to practically force. I must not give up. If I stop to think, it will be the end.
I betrayed Kiryuu Hajime. I am the leader of the group now. What the hell am just so confused by an unexpected situation?
I have to analyze the situation. Think, I think.
It is time to be asustada──
“…… Huh?”
I regain my composure and looked up. By the time I look forward.
There was a girl without expression ── before me.
He closed the distance of several meters between us in one motion. She was floating in the air. He showed no emotion, as he raised his little hand. Her long black hair moved like a dragon flying in the sky.
Ah, it’s over. It was what I thought.
Now it was time to panic ── not, even if it did, it would be useless.
At the end ── I wonder if this was my limit after all.
Without being able to achieve something in the end I will be defeated as if it were a character Mob 3 .
Well, it’s true. Seal the strongest existence in the first place, it was already certain death. And as in a video game or manga, I definitely will revive. If you really would have been possible to seal it, then it would not have spoken so confidently.
Although after having I said that, I did not think I would die here. Unfortunately, it was not to be so easy. His fist was in front of my ── I was in front of my left eye.
I’m ready, I’ve already given me, so I decided to close my eyes quietly.
My left eye, closed like the right eye that I always have closed.
Ah──
It was useless.
Sorry, Hajime-kun.
“Rule No. 1 of battles with superpowers.”
In that momento──
A terrible impact resounded all over the place.
However, there was no damage to my body.
timidly opened my left eye, I saw a broad back black color.
Although even windless, his black coat was waving.
“No matter the situation, never close your eyes.”
It was a familiar voice that gently encouraged my eardrums.
“Do not lose sight of the fortune or misfortune.
Do not give up or comedy, or tragedy.
Not turn your view of victory or defeat.
Do not turn away the look of life or death.
An extraordinary story can only be read once.
Whether it’s a happy end or bad end ── you must record everything in your eyes. ”
Where did it appear? That subject was placed between System and, trapping his hit with one hand.
“Heavens. What did you do with your eyes closed, “Eternal Wink”? You, just keep Winking and watch my success. ”
He spoke in an arrogant tone and fearless. He then twisting the hand with which I nabbed System, he threw it away. System landed on top of the rubble, but did not look it was to fight back.
While swinging his silver hair, the man looked at me.
Although there is some reason, use small dark lenses. Eyes of black and red. His eyes gave off a different uneven color brightness.
“Ha-Ha-Hajime-kun …?”
“I’m not Hajime-kun.”
He spoke as he smiled so atrocious. As if he had the truth in this world, she said majestically.
“I’m Kiryuu Heldkaiser Luci First.”
The feelings that appeared in my chest were ── relief.
It’s pretty pathetic that yesterday I was speaking so arrogantly, but Hajime-kun appeared so suddenly, I’m more relieved than surprised.
“What are you doing on this site? Did not I tell them I would crush 「F」 alone? ”
At that question, we all were speechless.
“Well … ah, how to say it … M-More importantly, Hajime-kun! This is serious, System has been released … so, we must escape! ”
Trying to change the conversation, I said that. Even though we Hajime-kun, it would be impossible to beat System. Since my strategy had failed, we can only escape. I do not know if it really possible to escape.
“──First.”
In that.
Somebody’s name was pronounced.
It took me a few seconds to note that “First” was a part of the real name of Hajime-kun, plus it took me a few seconds notice that System was who said it.
“Why did you stop me?”
Looking to here with those eyes so cold, System murmured indifferently. The girl spoke in a low tone terribly. It was a mysterious voice.
In addition … the way he was referring to herself in April .
It was very old.
“Whoever told me to eliminate「F」, it was you, right?”
“Quiet. They are not members of 「F」. They are my companions. ”
Hajime-kun spoke naturally with System. I was puzzled. Aki-chan and Akutagawa-kun were also puzzled.
“H-Hitomi-san. What happened…? E-Ehhhh?! !? Why did this Kiryuu-san here !? In addition, this girl … Is it ── System …? ”
“…… What is happening?”
Fan-chan and Toki-kun had returned to be watching to see how things were going. The two were surprised by this situation.
“Ohh. What is this? Is it the large gathering of Fallen Black? Perfect, this saves me the trouble of calling them. ”
Having said that, Hajime-kun left my side and walked to System. That’s dangerous, it was what I thought, but she did not seem to take any action and allowed Hajime-kun approach.
“Listen up, everyone.”
Then, Hajime-kun put his hand on the head of System.
He stroked it as if it were her younger sister. It was certainly too familiar gesture.
“She will be our new partner now.”
“Ahhh … !?”
All members were amazed at the place. What did this man said?
“It is true, from now on I forbid you to call her by the name System. I do not like in the least that name. ”
While saying that, Hajime-kun System stroked his head. She did not resist and let do it.
“Sooner or later, I’ll think of an idea for your name and the name of your power. Eagerly wait for him. ”
“──Entendido.”
He is saying only that System relocked his lips.
“E-Wait, wait a moment, Hajime-kun!”
My mind finally processed what was happening. He was not able to stand and walked toward him.
“What do you mean , this girl will be our companion …? Yesterday you said that aplastarías to 「F」. It does not that also meant defeat this girl ……? ”
“Ka, Ka.”
Hajime-kun laughed. Certainly, it was a happy laugh.
“That was my intention at first. It would show the strongest who was actually stronger, so it would crush him to the bone. ”
Lie spoke, he glanced toward System.
“But there’s no way you can get serious against such a pretty girl.”
“………….”
I am speechless.
Hajime Kiryuu principles, is to look good at all. In other words, for him, even if it be the strongest opponent, it seems to go against his principles to fight someone that has the appearance of a little girl.
If I think calmly ── was certainly the best.
I thought the plan to capture System was to win without fighting. Do not let the enemy be released and seal it forever. Not fight someone strong directly. I thought it would be a good strategy, but apparently was a mistake.
Against someone strong ── the best you can do is make it like one.
It would be best that could happen, how that idea has not crossed my mind? The scale of our ways of thinking is very different. I have been completely defeated to its large capacity.
“B-but, Hajime-kun. How did you do it?”
“Ah, actually.”
As he spoke, he took something from the pocket of his long coat.
“Fortunately, I brought my Hi-Chew 2 emergency. I said ‘I’ll give you this if you join me’ and she accepted. ”
“The bought sweet !?”
Ignoring my surprise, Hajime-kun took the envelope to Hi-Chew and threw the contents into System. She opened her mouth wide and caught it splendidly. He began to chew. Although his face was still expressionless, it seems a somewhat happier expression.
…… The he controlled giving sweets.
This subject controlled the stronger existence with a Hi-Chew.
“So Hitomi. What they are doing here? ”
Hajime-kun asked me a question. Although I was speechless, after a few seconds, took a deep breath and answered.
“We came to crush「F」.”
That I said.
“Ah? I thought I told you so. I told them to do nothing. ”
“If. ── So I rebelled. Since, Hajime-kun, you’re very irritating, so try a little revenge. ”
At the time I said that, the other members trembled. However, I looked straight ahead.
“We’ve all betrayed Hajime-kun. We try to destroy 「F」 quickly … but I’m afraid we have failed. ”
I shrugged my shoulders slightly and I told him taking a defiant attitude.
“Do you have any complaints?”
“Ka, Ka. Any.”
He was laughing.
“It’s a shame. You’ll have to try harder next time. ”
Those were the only words Kiryuu Hajime said to my betrayal.
He did not blame me for anything.
Without showing signs of being surprised, he said “Good. What is missing is going to hunt the remaining members of「F」“ , which made me to concentrate again.
We are not the slightest doubt that everything has returned to what it was before. He is confident, but it must be so if he says it.But if I have to say, I think it’s very confident.
Do ── does not care who have betrayed? What about the fact that they were his companions? Or perhaps all he said was just to show off?
However, one thing is certain, after all, I was not able to surpass this man. Instead, I was surprised.
“However, it seems that to you also happen very interesting, Hitomi things.”
As if I knew what self-conscious, Hajime-kun spoke calmly.
“You really are a good woman.”
“…………”
With nothing more to say, Hajime-kun spread his hands exaggeratedly, directing his gaze to the members.
“Genocide.”
That said.
“I ordered all members of Fallen Black. Destroy the remaining members of 「F」. I’ll let Hitomi in charge. When finished, we will send a party to welcome our new partner. ”
As always he says what comes to mind. It is certainly a very vague order.
But why?
My mind was at peace and my heart was beating. Is it trust? I do not know if I’m just being used, but what he told me “You’re a good woman” , that makes me very happy. Actually, I think you could say I’m “a very desirable woman.”
Ah, apparently, I’m a masochist.
The times when I am manipulated by the whims of this man ── pleasant encounter.
I have been captivated by a bad man.
“Hey, Hitomin. Ah, this is useless, his eyes have become a heart. ”
“Haa … In the end, all I have just so that waste of time.”
“Oh heavens.”
“…… Now I can go home?”
Aki-chan, Toki-kun, Fan-chan, Akutagawa-kun, all with a few members were astonished faces.
My easy expression harden quickly.
“Akutagawa, must work properly. The only thing I’ll be back. Since I woke up early and even my dream. ”
Hajime-kun, who was trying to suppress their yawns, turned to System.
“You too must cooperate. It’s your first job as my companion. If there is anything you do not understand, just follow the instructions Hitomi without saying anything. ”
She nodded wordlessly ── huh.
“E-Wait, Hajime-kun!”
I grabbed his arm to the man who was retiring after giving orders.
“N-not let this girl here! It is not the person with stronger powers !? I do not know what to do con── ”
As she began to complain, I felt an unpleasant odor.
Does this smell of iron ── is the smell of blood?
Because you hold the arm, his coat moved slightly, letting me see the pole carrying inside. In the stomach, it was red. It was blood.
It was a very painful wound to see.
“Ha-Hajime-kun──”
He placed his index finger on my lips and my words were sealed.
“I request you, Hitomi.”
He just said that and way out. Although his tone and attitude were not different, his journey was something different. He was limping feebly.
My head was full of doubts. I look System and then I look around me, everything was in ruins.
No doubt.
Traces of this terrible destruction ── I wonder if they were the result of their battle.
Hajime and Kiryuu System, an imprint of his battle with superpowers. It is true. If I think calmly, you can not be that she betrayed the enemy only with Hi-Chew.
Before we came to this place ── Hajime-kun faced System.
“Lucifer’s Strike” confronted the enemy with the strongest power. If that is the case, the state of this place in ruins is understandable. Rather, it is amazing that this place still this standing.
A moment ago, when System was about to kill me.
If I think back ── was Hajime-kun who covered me.
He did not let his opponent make his move, the blocked using a technique employing gravity.
System used his power against Hajime-kun ── no, rather, she used a skill that could counteract the power of Hajime-kun. In other words, this means that she “woke up” .
The reason that she is the strongest, Ato Dashi Janken.
A perfect, absolute and unjust skill. Hajime Kiryuu faced completely alone against an opponent as well.
I do not understand how the fight began.
It was instigated by Hajime-kun? Was it someone System released by 「F」? Or perhaps, out of control System on your own?
I do not understand how he ended the fight.
Who really won? What kind of event was happened? Did something unusual happened System to become our partner?
I do not understand at all.
── possibly he has tried to defend ourselves. If we had been attacked by the liberated System, there was no way that we could have escaped. Therefore, Hajime-kun was the first to fight against the secret weapon of the enemy. He considered it his responsibility as leader ── Although this might come to think much, I think I’m very optimistic, or is it that my interpretation is very convenient?
“…… Never change.”
I muttered softly. And without realizing it, I began to smile.
First Kiryuu Heldkaiser Luci surprised me as much as Kiryuu Hajime, because of that, could do nothing but laugh.
Though he speaks too many unnecessary things, he never talks about the important things.
Hides effort and pain. Even if you have a difficult battle, he will always say that “was not easy” . Never show your weaknesses or failures to others. He dedicates your body and soul, his whole life, just to look good.
I feel a little frustrated that I do not show what you feel inside ── After all, it makes me angry.
“Guys, I’m sorry.”
I spoke to the remaining members.
“Eventually, I was not able to overcome our foolish leader.”
Ahaha, I started laughing.
My rebellion ended in a very disappointing way. Since we could not betray this complicity exhausting has been completed. I can say that the main culprit, did not receive a punishment and continue to be the second in command of the group as before.
This story was left unfinished.
But.
“But ── I Will Avenge me anyway someday. Until then, let’s get well. ”
Next time I will strive even more. That’s what I told them.
“Ahaha. It is true. Next time, no doubt, as Kiryucchi said. ”
“I’m from Hitomi-san.”
The two girls, I accepted a so pathetic. The two boys were with a somber expressions. Are they angry? They may be anxious.
“It seems the enemy is near.”
“These steps … 15 …… not perhaps be 20.”
Two people were already prepared to fight. Listening carefully, certainly heard footsteps and voices. It seems that the enemy finally heard the commotion. They are about to invade this place without knowing that System is now part of our group.
“So what will we do? Hitomi-san. ”
When asked Toki-kun, I responded immediately.
“We will follow the orders Hajime-kun, we’ll enemies are.”
“…… After all, do what Kiryuu-san said. You really agree? ”
“If. Probably, that’s fine. ”
Just for now.
“Ah … Apparently, I belong to a group of fools. If the leader is the leader, the number 2 is the number 2. ”
“…… I think the same.”
In that, a multitude of enemies appeared in the doorway. There were nearly 20 people. They issued hostility, while giving a great war cry.
“──Hitomi.”
The skirt of my dress was pulled by someone.
“Give me instructions.”
It was System. It made me jump in surprise. II see, this girl is asking me instructions …
“B-Well … Then you … take care of people who are in charge.”
Given this vague instruction, System nodded mechanically.
“D-really you understand what I said?”
I tried to confirm this, but System ignored me and turned his gaze toward the enemy. It seems he has no intention of talking about unnecessary things. It is a pity that it is so cold.
“…… All right. Come on guys.”
I activated the battle mode in my mind. He felt no fear. I have companions in whom I trust, also have the strongest presence on our side ── And also, that sick of Chuunibyou do not understand what I think and has trouble trusting others.
No need to be scared.
Staring me left eye on the enemy. I rush into battle with the other.
“We commit genocide.”
* * *
And that way, the fight against 「F」 ended. It lasted less than I thought.
Seeing the result, you can say it was a landslide victory. The enemy organization was destroyed. In addition, we obtained the trump card of the enemy. Everything went very well.
According to Leatia-chan, the fairy Zeion, who was the main culprit, he was captured. While we were fighting, fairies were also moving. Listen to Zeion was taken to a prison-like place in the world of fairies.
It’s a story that goes beyond my comprehension.
Members of 「F」 lost their powers, forgot their memories about the war and returned to their daily lives. Food Processing Plant Yuzuhara that served as its base was restored in one night by the power of the fairies. Any trace of 「F」 had completely disappeared.
I do not know why they were fighting. Was it just for money? Or is there was some ulterior motive?
I’m sure everyone, at least I think, had reason to fight.
As I rebelled against Kiryuu Hajime for my own reasons.
By the way, System really became our companion.
Although it is a quiet and expressionless girl, no bad feelings. He gets along well with the other girls, including me. His hair was cut and bought a new dress. We have a funny relationship.
Ah, but the name was changed System.
“White Rulebook” ── The power of submission by cause and effect.
Hajime-kun put it on.
…… Okay, yes. I feel you hear great.
Hajime-kun and I decided to call Tanaka Umeko. The last name I started, while Hajime-kun was in charge of putting the name.
What will you do with it? None of us have idea.
However, no matter what you think Hajime-kun do with Umeko-chan, that does not change the fact that she is the person with the strongest power.
An irregularity in the Faerie War.
It is an existence ── the other participants not ignore.
In the end, Tanaka Umeko joined us, so the future of this war will become more intense. And although we, Fallen Black, will play an important role in this calamity, it will something to happen later.
Strength is only the result of misleading weakness.
=====================================================================================
Ato power Dashi Janken ── System.
The power that can beat any power.
No matter how strong the opponent.
No matter how brutal the opponent.
It faces.
It fits.
It adapts.
Answer back.
And that answer is ── The Awakening.
As the hero of a story.
Awakens a new power.
The powers of the persons with powers were granted to them by the fairies, so, I’ve heard that they have been regulated.
For bets work in the Faerie War, a power that can destroy the balance of the game can not exist.
To be brief ── an invincible person can not exist.
A great loss occur in gambling, because there would be sense to bet if the end of the battle was already decided.
However, the creation of 「F」 System, marks a clear line with other people with powers.
The fairy who rebelled against the existence of the Faerie War ── Zeion. He (or she) created an existence to end the war.
It was created to beat all powers. Absolute power, she is the person with the strongest power.
Can you beat someone like that?
The answer is never ──.
It is impossible to win. At least, it is impossible for me.
But although ── say that I can not win, I have to.
“──¡Al floor, Hitomi-san!”
The cry of Toki-kun made my body react reflexively. I hunched instantly, placing both hands on the asphalt parking ground. After that, something happened at a tremendous rate over my head. It was an iron pipe that had changed strangely.
Looking up, everything became clear.
Reflected in my left eye was Toki-kun who had thrown a kick to the man’s abdomen. The enemy tumbled several meters on the asphalt, throwing up the contents of your stomach. There being no need to continue covering me, I stood.
Although I am not a dead weight, I can not fight, I think there is no difference.
“Now, let us proceed.”
Toki-kun spoke in a firm voice. He had some blood on his cheek. It was a wound that left him the subject that had turned the iron pipe in a sickle with chain.
The power of the enemy is to change the form of iron freely as if it were an alchemist. He is someone with the ability to transform their weapons. It’s certainly something terrifying ── that power, Aki-chan had already discussed in previous reconnaissance mission.
That information had already been shared with all members.
If we know even the smallest details of the powers of the enemy, then it will not be a problem for Toki Shugo.
“If. We must lucirnos more and more. ”
With Toki-kun at the helm, we invaded the factory. I can not confirm whether we have defeated the enemies are alive or dead, but do not stop to finish them.
The hideout 「F」 ── The Food Processing Plant Yuzuhara.
We, Fallen Black, we decided to split into 3 groups.
Toki-kun and I formed the A-chan and Aki-kun Akutagawa group form the group B. And finally, Fan-chan form the third.
Group A and B are intended to act as a distraction and lure. Our role is to cause uproar and draw the eye of the enemy upon us.Meanwhile, Akutagawa-kun and the others also act as a distraction.
While the enemy’s eyes are fixed on us ── Fan-chan will percolate in the center of the factory.
Although Fan-chan has an individual, good role, she is something like a large number into one, so it will be fine.
“I wonder if Akutagawa-kun and the others will be fine.”
Inside the factory, on the linoleum floor, he was running side by side with Toki-kun.
“They’ll be fine. Natsu can be adapted to any enemy ── And if that bastard gets serious Akutagawa not lose to most enemies. ”
“Heh. You have a very good opinion of Akutagawa-kun. ”
“…… It’s just my honest opinion. Although I can not stand that guy, he has a power capable of winning. ”
It’s what Toki-kun said.
“Dead Space” ── The power of niche market
As a niche market, it is creating a new space.
Yanagi Akutagawa can create all kinds of spaces.
You can create a room between two rooms, you can create a path between two paths, you can create an atmosphere between two atmospheres.
Sews, cuts, tears, cracks, breaks …… you can find a space among all the “lines” existing in the world. It introduces and expands it by force, violently distorts and a world is built just for him there.
A power like that ── when used for defense, can demonstrate its true effectiveness.
A bizarre and spooky shield that does not allow the invasion of anyone.
Even the destructive power of Kiryuu Hajime, “Lucifer’s Strike”, it would be impossible to cross the shield (although the person in question has said that ” it would be easy” ).
“By the way, Hitomi-san. Have you been contacted Fantasia? ”
“Hm. Even … ah, already he arrived. ”
We stopped. So I see my phone screen to view the message.
“He did?”
“…… It was useless. He could not find a method to control System. I wonder if you would not let that information in the system. ”
“…… Which means, after all, we have to capture and interrogate someone quickly.”
“You’re right.”
The work of Fan-chan, while the other members caused uproar, was to infiltrate enemy territory and find a method to control System.
The power of absolute victory ── System.
We could never beat the girl with long hair is floating in the glass tank.
── why we should not confront it.
It would be impossible to win if the face ── for that reason, our plan is to not deal with it.
Against the girl who is in a deep sleep, what we must do is let to sleep.
At this time, System is under the control of 「F」 because it has not yet been released in the world.
He has not shown the special ability of the strongest power. If it is still in development or you are just giving adjustments do not know, but anyway, System is in a dream state.
In other words, right now, 「F」 is controlling in some way.
── So we find out that way.
That is the method of capturing System I have planned.
Someone with the ability to always win as if it were the protagonist of a shonen manga ── A character so unfair, you should only delete it while still in the creation process to serialize the series.
You should not see the light of day ever. It should be buried in the depths of darkness.
“…… This strategy, if Hajime-kun were here, definitely reject it.”
I feel that feeling, spoke softly.
What we try to do is to win without fighting, it is certainly an unjust strategy. In terms of RPG, it would be like reaching the end without having to deal with the rebirth of the demon king.
It is nothing interesting development, especially if the story has not yet reached its best point. A man who thinks only enjoy battles with superpowers definitely never take this strategy.
“Like say … Whether day or night, you’re always with Kiryuu-san, right?”
I was surprised with what Toki-kun said.
“But just because this is something that guy would never do, does not mean that you can not do it.”
“…… If. It is true. Thank you.”
“I said nothing that deserves a thank you.”
“I’ve thought for a while, but after all, Toki-kun is a good person in the background.”
“That’s only in your head happy.”
Are you hiding her embarrassment, or perhaps is seriously upset? Toki-kun had a rather trivial expression.
“──¡Encontré intruders!”
I heard a scream from afar. When I looked up, an enemy after another gathered down the hall.
Were 8 people.
Unlike Aki-chan, I can not tell if the opponent has powers, but if I rely on the situation, it would be wrong to think that all these subjects have powers. Since people who have been sent to intercept the intruders definitely have to be fit for combat.
“Women costume … Damn … you’re one of those who infiltrated the other day.”
“What did you say…? In other words, it belongs to the group of Kiryuu Hajime? ”
“As I thought, this man is very dangerous. You must have come to attack us directly …… ”
The enemies watched us with a sharp look, as they exchanged words between them. Hajime spoke only on Kiryuu. That man is a very famous person in the Faerie War, even 「F」 has his eye on him.
For them, we are only “fellow Kiryuu Hajime” .
Only an accessory, an aggregate in existence “etc” .
“Hears! Kiryuu Hajime must be hiding somewhere! I’ll kill you, leave immediately! ”
One of the enemies, a young man with a baseball cap, said that in a violent tone.
“… Ahahaha.”
What he said the young man was so funny that made me laugh unintentionally.
“Oh, what a coincidence, I feel the same as you.”
Looking enemies with contempt, spoke arrogantly.
“I, too, dislike Kiryuu Hajime. So I thought I’d beat that guy. ”
Having said that, the enemy began to laugh looking at each other. They made fun of what the woman had said before them.
“Ray … I do not understand a shit what you’re saying! Damn bitch! ”
The man in the baseball cap spoke insolently and a fireball appeared in the palm of your hand. It seems to be a person with the power to control the fire.
He moved his arm and threw the fireball that had formed in his hand.
I fire the shot that threw the man ── hit the target completely. At the time that hit the human body, the flames spread more and more, covering the entire body of the person, completely burning. White fell to the floor screaming in pain.
“Gyahaha! What is this? You were just a useless! ”
The man in the baseball cap began to laugh exuberantly.
However, it seems that noticed immediately.
I was the only one who was celebrating.
None of those who were around the man laughed. It was the other way around. They were pale and looked at the man with the baseball cap with fearful eyes.
“O-Hey! What the you think you’re doing !? ”
Finally, the bald man at his side raised his voice.
“Why are you attacking us? The enemies are out there! ”
At that time, the expression of man with the baseball cap was filled with surprise.
Was expected.
Since for him, one of his companions beside him ── looked like me.
“Ah, you, the bald there, you should be more careful.”
While playing my right eye, I spoke cheerfully.
“I have given the evil eye.”
“Eternal Wink” ── The power of infringement of view.
The eye of the person who is in my range of vision, I can give the power of the evil eye.
My power is not efficient combat, but that does not mean it’s useless.
The power of the evil eye can not be used by me. Only what I can give to others, but when the enemy is in alert mode, my power does not work.
For example, even if you give the evil eye to Toki-kun, this would not work against enemies who are being cautious with us.
But what if you give the evil eye ── the enemy?
Of course, they would not be cautious with one of his comrades. Since it is someone with whom they fight side by side. When they looked at each other, eye contact is formed.
Result ── The evil eye functioned normally.
Right now, when those guys were making fun of me, I used my power and I gave him the evil eye to bald there.
Right after that, the man with the shaved head looked at the guy who had the baseball cap. As a result, the man with the baseball cap was caught in the illusion of the evil eye, which made him confuse a “partner” for the “enemy” , so he proceeded to attack him.
Sincerely.
It is a very problematic skill, but I tell myself.
I can not use it in games one against one, can only be used in some way to a large number of people.
“You said … the evil eye? You, you’ve done something …… ”
The man with the baseball cap who had roasted his friend inadvertently looked at me with eyes full of anger. The effect of the evil eye was over, but although it seems to recognize properly this time, has not taken any action.
His companions act the same. All have a suspicion expression on their faces.
In reality, though my power is not so amazing, if I use it in this way, I do believe it’s a strange power.
Well, a strategy that consists only of cheap threats only has a chance to work. If I do it calmly, it may work.
But if I get at least one chance, then it is enough.
Our forces commander ── attack was on hand to clear the way.
Hyunn!
The knife cut through the air.
Toki-kun strongly held his knife with bad edge and moved quickly. She threw herself alone among opponents, wrapped in disgust.Then, his violence was released.
Short, the boots, the hits and lunges, plus cut back.
A filo truly poor, whether air, clothing, weapons, human flesh, everything was torn stockings.
In the end, there was only one person. Giving a terrible cry in his last moments, the enemy fell on the floor.
“Hey, you know that?”
The only remaining enemy was cornered against the wall. As he pressed the knife into her neck, Toki-kun spoke in a tone trivial.
“Did you know that to be cut by a sheet with a bad edge is much more painful than a large sheet of filo?”
A blood covered blade touched the man’s neck. A serrated edge, looked like the blade of a saw. If you cut from that sheet, it is unlikely to be a clean tear.
The meat fibers were cut one by one only with brute force.
Imagining the possible damage, the man’s face turned blue and his body began to shake with fear.
“Toki-kun, and detente.”
I called quickly, so the knife would cut the neck of his opponent stopped.
“You should’nt do it. You must not kill. ”
“Hitomi-san ……”
“However, it is amazing as always. Your strength is overwhelming without having to use your power. ”
“In my case, it takes time to use my power.”
Hm. Well it is likely, the power of Toki-kun …… as it were, takes too long to finish its route.
In cases of Hajime-kun and Akutagawa-kun, most of their combat skills depend entirely on their powers, but in the case of Toki-kun, he does not depend so much on its power. You can leave most people with powers on the floor, using only his physical strength and his knife.
“So what do you mean that I should kill him? No matter much, right? Anyway, will revive then. ”
“It’s true, but.”
Personally, although I do not really like the mindset of ‘Do not worry, we can revive them with the Dragonballs’ for now is no time to argue.
I looked at the face of the enemy. He had a facial expression somewhat relieved. It could be an expression of gratitude for having stopped the brutality of a violent man.
If so ── I’m sorry.
I today is somewhat cooler.
“Lend me your knife for a moment.”
Although initially had a mysterious expression, Toki-kun gave me his knife in silence. I took the knife under my hand and went down ── with all my strength.
5 centimeters next to the right eye of the opponent.
From the mouth of man, came a gasp. Then, I spoke in a cold tone.
“Go down to eye the next time.”
It was a lie. I have not the courage for that.
“Oh, you want me to say why we have not killed? If a person with powers kills another person with powers, this revives. So I stopped to point to your eye. ”
It was a lie. I have no such ability.
“I will be very careful not to kill you and will continue causing you pain without stopping.”
It was a lie. If I did something like that, I would have done from the start.
“If you do not want that, you tell me everything you know about what you and others are keeping here System.”
“…?! Hmn !? C-How System know what …… ”
“I can see through everything. Thanks to this demonic eye. So you better not lie to me. If you get me to lie ── do you understand, right? ”
Is a lie. The only thing I have is a useless demonic eye can not predict anything.
However, I put a brutal smile without fear, I look at my opponent with contempt and start laughing.
In my mind, I feel I’m acting like this dangerous and terrifying man.
“Come on, answer my question.”
While laughing, I argued strongly that the knife was in my hand. The he spun in circles, showing the cutting edge in front of the man’s face. However, since it is borrowed, I must be careful not to damage it.
“…… That woman so frightening.”
Toki-kun turned.
It is true. If you make a woman mad, this becomes frightening.
That ── I show it very well that guy.
As a result, we get very valuable information.
Unfortunately, there is no way to check whether the information is true, so we repeat the same process with the enemies that we find along the way. We get enough information, so I proceeded to choose the most useful among all.
Fortunately, there were people with strong powers. Is it because they have little experience in war? Or do they neglected because they had a trump card called System? Although details are not very clear, there was no opponent to give us problems Toki-kun and me.
The other 3 people went through something similar, Akutagawa-kun, Aki-chan and Fan-chan were undamaged and collected information constantly.
“In other words … If we manipulate the water tank containing System, we could achieve.”
In the Yuzuhara Food Processing Plant, on the second floor of the main building. We were between the third and fourth conference room.
The place was like an office. It was a place produced by the Akutagawa-kun power. Apart from the people he admitted, no one can see this place. Therefore, we need not worry about being attacked while we’re here.
This was a private place that was right in the middle of enemy territory where all members were meeting. We discussed all the information we had gathered and actions that would take then.
To confirm this, Akutagawa-kun said.
“… Although System is the creation of fairy called Zeion, including a human he is able to make adjustments …… As for fairies, which can make a human is limited …… After「F」has completed System, not to let any human control it …… ”
System’s body is almost complete, but final adjustments have not yet finished. It seems we still have some time.
“So if Akutagawa-kun could control the wicks (machines) that are in that room … System could be sealed permanently.”
“… Wicks? You should stop talking about such a silly way. ”
“C-Shut up.”
“… Well, we can probably make it. Since System is controlled off-line, it seems that there is a great security …… ”
If System was controlled by a special power, there would be no case. But if the computer that controls it is of a technical level of modern society, Akutagawa-kun might be able to. Hear that always leads him hacking tools.
Aki-chan complimented with a smile Akutagawa-kun.
“As expected Senryu. Worth you’re always playing your games. ”
“It’s special ability Hikki a pessimist.”
While Toki-kun laughed, Akutagawa-kun frowned
“… A yankee airhead could never understand such a refined as this skill.”
“Huh?”
“… What?”
“We no longer, and, fight. We are in the middle of enemy territory. ”
Intervened between the two quickly before the situation explodes.
“Tch.” “Hmph.”
The two boys looked upset other side.
A yankee and Hikki appear that are not compatible.
“But, you know, with System, it is very likely to work in a somehow Hitomin ……”
Although Aki-chan spoke cheerfully, his expression froze immediately.
“No good. Somehow, it is very likely to work … Hitomin … san ”
“A-Aki-chan. Okay, do not worry about your speech. Something was wrong with me yesterday. ”
I smiled nervously. After last night, I’ve calmed down considerably and I have reflected on the things I said. Most of the things I said were because he was very angry.
“Hey. W-Really? ”
“If. Although somewhat late. I mean I do not hate the feelings of friendship Aki-chan. ”
“Great. I knew it. Hitomin is Hitomin after all. ”
“… So is it okay to put my headphones?”
“Not that.”
I looked Akutagawa-kun, who spoke casually. Although it looks unsatisfied, it seems intent to hear what I say, because their headphones on her neck were back her head was not placed.
“Ahahaha. Senryu, do not worry. ”
Aki-chan started laughing merrily.
Although we are in enemy territory and we’re going to seal a powerful enemy at a time, there is no tension in us. We are in good condition. Truthfully, I did not feel pressured and my mind is calm.
This may be related to the system of the Faerie War.
We were told that we could revive even if we die. It is a nice size and a very lucky function.
“Reviving even if you die ……”
Previously, Hajime-kun had complained.
“Ka, Ka. These fairies are unpleasant. They understand human habits very well. ”
At first, I wondered why this was not a true real battle of life and death, does a more aggressive battle would not be something more spectacular for the fairies? However, once involved in the war, I understood the truth.
If they had made a real battle of life and death, most people forget aggressiveness and focus more on the “defense” . Fear of being injured, including fear of injuring the opponent, knees tremble and her waist lose their strength.
It would not be a spectacular battle.
Humans are cowards and it is because we are rational creatures.
A human who risk his life to fulfill a desire ── is not common.
For this reason, even if they die, they may return. A system reset so necessary. We, people with powers, but have fallen into this place without wanting altogether, we can return to our daily life from a save point.
And precisely because there is a risk, we can be more active and can be more cruel.
Even if you die, you will revive. We have come to think that.
Although mates, will revive. We have come to think that.
── Faerie War certainly is something distasteful.
“Guys, the number of guards has been reduced! They are just two. ”
Fan-chan, who was staring out the window of the building where the entrance was System, raised his voice.
“Two people ……, Mmm. All right. We will act according to plan, we begin the final phase. ”
I looked all members and told them some words of encouragement.
“Let’s finish this quickly. If we do not soon, Kiryuu Hajime could show up here breezily. ”
* * *
Since they were only two, Toki-kun and Fan-chan easily controlled the situation.
These two stood watching nearby, while the remaining three, including myself, we move into the building.
As we proceeded, we found a door that looked very solid. It was the kind of door that opens and closes two sliding doors on both sides.
“This place is System ……”
When I place my hand, I notice that after all, was closed.
“Akutagawa-kun, please.”
After asking, he stepped forward and raised a hand. He placed his index and middle fingers in the door.
Clack!
As if expand an image on a Smartphone, he spreads your fingers calmly.
At that time, power was activated.
“Dead Space”
In the middle of the right and left sides ── a space was created. metal sound was heard breaking and the door was forced open.
Finally.
The door leading to the final mission ── was opened.
Here the real strategy begins. First, make Aki-chan analyze all found in this place. In case there is someone without power, reduce it using the power of Akutagawa-kun. In case there is a person with powers, I must buy some time by using my demonic eye, then call Toki-kun and Fan-chan when the time is right. While they are responsible for neutralizing all men, Akutagawa-kun would be responsible for hack the machine that controls System …
I was the one who planned this strategy very carefully ── but when I saw what was behind the door, my mind went blank.
He doubted what he saw my eye. I was speechless.
Destruction.
What was there was only the traces of great destruction.
In that as big as a gym space, everything was completely destroyed. Most of the machinery was in place was destroyed, also the walls and ceiling were about to collapse.
But what attracted my attention was in the middle of the room.
There were the debris of the water tank, which was horribly destroyed. The liquid filling the interior was scattered on the floor, while most of the cables and tubes that were attached to the tank were cut.
Was not.
The strongest existence that was supposed to be there ── not there.
“Q-What happened here …?”
It can not be, does anyone has freed System? To eliminate the intruders, they released a very dangerous existence that is incomplete and can not be controlled?
Did ── has gotten out of control? Or possibly ── I self-destructed?
I could not understand the situation. I could only understand one thing. The strategy he had planned and had no sentido──
“Hitomin! A-There! ”
The voice of Aki-chan did you wake up. When I look in the direction pointing, inside the rubble, there was the figure of someone.
“…… Ugh!”
A cold sweat began to leave my body.
What was there was a little girl.
Those dirty clothes white covering her small body. That bright color black hair was so long that reached to the ground.
Although it seemed as docile as a doll, it was much more expressionless than a doll. He had eyes that seemed unfeeling glass balls. He looked in our direction with a vacant expression.
I could not forget it.
Several days ago, this was the girl who was inside that tank vidrio──
“System ……”
Aki-chan had a terrified expression. With this, the possibility of it being a twin is completely ruled out.
If confirmed “Head Hunting” then there is no doubt.
This girl ── was the person with the strongest power ── System.
“……………”
She said nothing. As if it were a doll, as if it were a baby who can not speak, only he saw us with a deadpan look.
── I could not move.
The enemy that should never have been released, now I have it forward. Our strategy was desperately trying to seal, however, our efforts, our plans, all to no avail.
If System had been released ── So, that would mean the end of the war.
“…… Ugh!”
He clenched my teeth tightly. My mind tried to escape from this reality, but I return to practically force. I must not give up. If I stop to think, it will be the end.
I betrayed Kiryuu Hajime. I am the leader of the group now. What the hell am just so confused by an unexpected situation?
I have to analyze the situation. Think, I think.
It is time to be asustada──
“…… Huh?”
I regain my composure and looked up. By the time I look forward.
There was a girl without expression ── before me.
He closed the distance of several meters between us in one motion. She was floating in the air. He showed no emotion, as he raised his little hand. Her long black hair moved like a dragon flying in the sky.
Ah, it’s over. It was what I thought.
Now it was time to panic ── not, even if it did, it would be useless.
At the end ── I wonder if this was my limit after all.
Without being able to achieve something in the end I will be defeated as if it were a character Mob 3 .
Well, it’s true. Seal the strongest existence in the first place, it was already certain death. And as in a video game or manga, I definitely will revive. If you really would have been possible to seal it, then it would not have spoken so confidently.
Although after having I said that, I did not think I would die here. Unfortunately, it was not to be so easy. His fist was in front of my ── I was in front of my left eye.
I’m ready, I’ve already given me, so I decided to close my eyes quietly.
My left eye, closed like the right eye that I always have closed.
Ah──
It was useless.
Sorry, Hajime-kun.
“Rule No. 1 of battles with superpowers.”
In that momento──
A terrible impact resounded all over the place.
However, there was no damage to my body.
timidly opened my left eye, I saw a broad back black color.
Although even windless, his black coat was waving.
“No matter the situation, never close your eyes.”
It was a familiar voice that gently encouraged my eardrums.
“Do not lose sight of the fortune or misfortune.
Do not give up or comedy, or tragedy.
Not turn your view of victory or defeat.
Do not turn away the look of life or death.
An extraordinary story can only be read once.
Whether it’s a happy end or bad end ── you must record everything in your eyes. ”
Where did it appear? That subject was placed between System and, trapping his hit with one hand.
“Heavens. What did you do with your eyes closed, “Eternal Wink”? You, just keep Winking and watch my success. ”
He spoke in an arrogant tone and fearless. He then twisting the hand with which I nabbed System, he threw it away. System landed on top of the rubble, but did not look it was to fight back.
While swinging his silver hair, the man looked at me.
Although there is some reason, use small dark lenses. Eyes of black and red. His eyes gave off a different uneven color brightness.
“Ha-Ha-Hajime-kun …?”
“I’m not Hajime-kun.”
He spoke as he smiled so atrocious. As if he had the truth in this world, she said majestically.
“I’m Kiryuu Heldkaiser Luci First.”
The feelings that appeared in my chest were ── relief.
It’s pretty pathetic that yesterday I was speaking so arrogantly, but Hajime-kun appeared so suddenly, I’m more relieved than surprised.
“What are you doing on this site? Did not I tell them I would crush 「F」 alone? ”
At that question, we all were speechless.
“Well … ah, how to say it … M-More importantly, Hajime-kun! This is serious, System has been released … so, we must escape! ”
Trying to change the conversation, I said that. Even though we Hajime-kun, it would be impossible to beat System. Since my strategy had failed, we can only escape. I do not know if it really possible to escape.
“──First.”
In that.
Somebody’s name was pronounced.
It took me a few seconds to note that “First” was a part of the real name of Hajime-kun, plus it took me a few seconds notice that System was who said it.
“Why did you stop me?”
Looking to here with those eyes so cold, System murmured indifferently. The girl spoke in a low tone terribly. It was a mysterious voice.
In addition … the way he was referring to herself in April .
It was very old.
“Whoever told me to eliminate「F」, it was you, right?”
“Quiet. They are not members of 「F」. They are my companions. ”
Hajime-kun spoke naturally with System. I was puzzled. Aki-chan and Akutagawa-kun were also puzzled.
“H-Hitomi-san. What happened…? E-Ehhhh?! !? Why did this Kiryuu-san here !? In addition, this girl … Is it ── System …? ”
“…… What is happening?”
Fan-chan and Toki-kun had returned to be watching to see how things were going. The two were surprised by this situation.
“Ohh. What is this? Is it the large gathering of Fallen Black? Perfect, this saves me the trouble of calling them. ”
Having said that, Hajime-kun left my side and walked to System. That’s dangerous, it was what I thought, but she did not seem to take any action and allowed Hajime-kun approach.
“Listen up, everyone.”
Then, Hajime-kun put his hand on the head of System.
He stroked it as if it were her younger sister. It was certainly too familiar gesture.
“She will be our new partner now.”
“Ahhh … !?”
All members were amazed at the place. What did this man said?
“It is true, from now on I forbid you to call her by the name System. I do not like in the least that name. ”
While saying that, Hajime-kun System stroked his head. She did not resist and let do it.
“Sooner or later, I’ll think of an idea for your name and the name of your power. Eagerly wait for him. ”
“──Entendido.”
He is saying only that System relocked his lips.
“E-Wait, wait a moment, Hajime-kun!”
My mind finally processed what was happening. He was not able to stand and walked toward him.
“What do you mean , this girl will be our companion …? Yesterday you said that aplastarías to 「F」. It does not that also meant defeat this girl ……? ”
“Ka, Ka.”
Hajime-kun laughed. Certainly, it was a happy laugh.
“That was my intention at first. It would show the strongest who was actually stronger, so it would crush him to the bone. ”
Lie spoke, he glanced toward System.
“But there’s no way you can get serious against such a pretty girl.”
“………….”
I am speechless.
Hajime Kiryuu principles, is to look good at all. In other words, for him, even if it be the strongest opponent, it seems to go against his principles to fight someone that has the appearance of a little girl.
If I think calmly ── was certainly the best.
I thought the plan to capture System was to win without fighting. Do not let the enemy be released and seal it forever. Not fight someone strong directly. I thought it would be a good strategy, but apparently was a mistake.
Against someone strong ── the best you can do is make it like one.
It would be best that could happen, how that idea has not crossed my mind? The scale of our ways of thinking is very different. I have been completely defeated to its large capacity.
“B-but, Hajime-kun. How did you do it?”
“Ah, actually.”
As he spoke, he took something from the pocket of his long coat.
“Fortunately, I brought my Hi-Chew 2 emergency. I said ‘I’ll give you this if you join me’ and she accepted. ”
“The bought sweet !?”
Ignoring my surprise, Hajime-kun took the envelope to Hi-Chew and threw the contents into System. She opened her mouth wide and caught it splendidly. He began to chew. Although his face was still expressionless, it seems a somewhat happier expression.
…… The he controlled giving sweets.
This subject controlled the stronger existence with a Hi-Chew.
“So Hitomi. What they are doing here? ”
Hajime-kun asked me a question. Although I was speechless, after a few seconds, took a deep breath and answered.
“We came to crush「F」.”
That I said.
“Ah? I thought I told you so. I told them to do nothing. ”
“If. ── So I rebelled. Since, Hajime-kun, you’re very irritating, so try a little revenge. ”
At the time I said that, the other members trembled. However, I looked straight ahead.
“We’ve all betrayed Hajime-kun. We try to destroy 「F」 quickly … but I’m afraid we have failed. ”
I shrugged my shoulders slightly and I told him taking a defiant attitude.
“Do you have any complaints?”
“Ka, Ka. Any.”
He was laughing.
“It’s a shame. You’ll have to try harder next time. ”
Those were the only words Kiryuu Hajime said to my betrayal.
He did not blame me for anything.
Without showing signs of being surprised, he said “Good. What is missing is going to hunt the remaining members of「F」“ , which made me to concentrate again.
We are not the slightest doubt that everything has returned to what it was before. He is confident, but it must be so if he says it.But if I have to say, I think it’s very confident.
Do ── does not care who have betrayed? What about the fact that they were his companions? Or perhaps all he said was just to show off?
However, one thing is certain, after all, I was not able to surpass this man. Instead, I was surprised.
“However, it seems that to you also happen very interesting, Hitomi things.”
As if I knew what self-conscious, Hajime-kun spoke calmly.
“You really are a good woman.”
“…………”
With nothing more to say, Hajime-kun spread his hands exaggeratedly, directing his gaze to the members.
“Genocide.”
That said.
“I ordered all members of Fallen Black. Destroy the remaining members of 「F」. I’ll let Hitomi in charge. When finished, we will send a party to welcome our new partner. ”
As always he says what comes to mind. It is certainly a very vague order.
But why?
My mind was at peace and my heart was beating. Is it trust? I do not know if I’m just being used, but what he told me “You’re a good woman” , that makes me very happy. Actually, I think you could say I’m “a very desirable woman.”
Ah, apparently, I’m a masochist.
The times when I am manipulated by the whims of this man ── pleasant encounter.
I have been captivated by a bad man.
“Hey, Hitomin. Ah, this is useless, his eyes have become a heart. ”
“Haa … In the end, all I have just so that waste of time.”
“Oh heavens.”
“…… Now I can go home?”
Aki-chan, Toki-kun, Fan-chan, Akutagawa-kun, all with a few members were astonished faces.
My easy expression harden quickly.
“Akutagawa, must work properly. The only thing I’ll be back. Since I woke up early and even my dream. ”
Hajime-kun, who was trying to suppress their yawns, turned to System.
“You too must cooperate. It’s your first job as my companion. If there is anything you do not understand, just follow the instructions Hitomi without saying anything. ”
She nodded wordlessly ── huh.
“E-Wait, Hajime-kun!”
I grabbed his arm to the man who was retiring after giving orders.
“N-not let this girl here! It is not the person with stronger powers !? I do not know what to do con── ”
As she began to complain, I felt an unpleasant odor.
Does this smell of iron ── is the smell of blood?
Because you hold the arm, his coat moved slightly, letting me see the pole carrying inside. In the stomach, it was red. It was blood.
It was a very painful wound to see.
“Ha-Hajime-kun──”
He placed his index finger on my lips and my words were sealed.
“I request you, Hitomi.”
He just said that and way out. Although his tone and attitude were not different, his journey was something different. He was limping feebly.
My head was full of doubts. I look System and then I look around me, everything was in ruins.
No doubt.
Traces of this terrible destruction ── I wonder if they were the result of their battle.
Hajime and Kiryuu System, an imprint of his battle with superpowers. It is true. If I think calmly, you can not be that she betrayed the enemy only with Hi-Chew.
Before we came to this place ── Hajime-kun faced System.
“Lucifer’s Strike” confronted the enemy with the strongest power. If that is the case, the state of this place in ruins is understandable. Rather, it is amazing that this place still this standing.
A moment ago, when System was about to kill me.
If I think back ── was Hajime-kun who covered me.
He did not let his opponent make his move, the blocked using a technique employing gravity.
System used his power against Hajime-kun ── no, rather, she used a skill that could counteract the power of Hajime-kun. In other words, this means that she “woke up” .
The reason that she is the strongest, Ato Dashi Janken.
A perfect, absolute and unjust skill. Hajime Kiryuu faced completely alone against an opponent as well.
I do not understand how the fight began.
It was instigated by Hajime-kun? Was it someone System released by 「F」? Or perhaps, out of control System on your own?
I do not understand how he ended the fight.
Who really won? What kind of event was happened? Did something unusual happened System to become our partner?
I do not understand at all.
── possibly he has tried to defend ourselves. If we had been attacked by the liberated System, there was no way that we could have escaped. Therefore, Hajime-kun was the first to fight against the secret weapon of the enemy. He considered it his responsibility as leader ── Although this might come to think much, I think I’m very optimistic, or is it that my interpretation is very convenient?
“…… Never change.”
I muttered softly. And without realizing it, I began to smile.
First Kiryuu Heldkaiser Luci surprised me as much as Kiryuu Hajime, because of that, could do nothing but laugh.
Though he speaks too many unnecessary things, he never talks about the important things.
Hides effort and pain. Even if you have a difficult battle, he will always say that “was not easy” . Never show your weaknesses or failures to others. He dedicates your body and soul, his whole life, just to look good.
I feel a little frustrated that I do not show what you feel inside ── After all, it makes me angry.
“Guys, I’m sorry.”
I spoke to the remaining members.
“Eventually, I was not able to overcome our foolish leader.”
Ahaha, I started laughing.
My rebellion ended in a very disappointing way. Since we could not betray this complicity exhausting has been completed. I can say that the main culprit, did not receive a punishment and continue to be the second in command of the group as before.
This story was left unfinished.
But.
“But ── I Will Avenge me anyway someday. Until then, let’s get well. ”
Next time I will strive even more. That’s what I told them.
“Ahaha. It is true. Next time, no doubt, as Kiryucchi said. ”
“I’m from Hitomi-san.”
The two girls, I accepted a so pathetic. The two boys were with a somber expressions. Are they angry? They may be anxious.
“It seems the enemy is near.”
“These steps … 15 …… not perhaps be 20.”
Two people were already prepared to fight. Listening carefully, certainly heard footsteps and voices. It seems that the enemy finally heard the commotion. They are about to invade this place without knowing that System is now part of our group.
“So what will we do? Hitomi-san. ”
When asked Toki-kun, I responded immediately.
“We will follow the orders Hajime-kun, we’ll enemies are.”
“…… After all, do what Kiryuu-san said. You really agree? ”
“If. Probably, that’s fine. ”
Just for now.
“Ah … Apparently, I belong to a group of fools. If the leader is the leader, the number 2 is the number 2. ”
“…… I think the same.”
In that, a multitude of enemies appeared in the doorway. There were nearly 20 people. They issued hostility, while giving a great war cry.
“──Hitomi.”
The skirt of my dress was pulled by someone.
“Give me instructions.”
It was System. It made me jump in surprise. II see, this girl is asking me instructions …
“B-Well … Then you … take care of people who are in charge.”
Given this vague instruction, System nodded mechanically.
“D-really you understand what I said?”
I tried to confirm this, but System ignored me and turned his gaze toward the enemy. It seems he has no intention of talking about unnecessary things. It is a pity that it is so cold.
“…… All right. Come on guys.”
I activated the battle mode in my mind. He felt no fear. I have companions in whom I trust, also have the strongest presence on our side ── And also, that sick of Chuunibyou do not understand what I think and has trouble trusting others.
No need to be scared.
Staring me left eye on the enemy. I rush into battle with the other.
“We commit genocide.”
* * *
And that way, the fight against 「F」 ended. It lasted less than I thought.
Seeing the result, you can say it was a landslide victory. The enemy organization was destroyed. In addition, we obtained the trump card of the enemy. Everything went very well.
According to Leatia-chan, the fairy Zeion, who was the main culprit, he was captured. While we were fighting, fairies were also moving. Listen to Zeion was taken to a prison-like place in the world of fairies.
It’s a story that goes beyond my comprehension.
Members of 「F」 lost their powers, forgot their memories about the war and returned to their daily lives. Food Processing Plant Yuzuhara that served as its base was restored in one night by the power of the fairies. Any trace of 「F」 had completely disappeared.
I do not know why they were fighting. Was it just for money? Or is there was some ulterior motive?
I’m sure everyone, at least I think, had reason to fight.
As I rebelled against Kiryuu Hajime for my own reasons.
By the way, System really became our companion.
Although it is a quiet and expressionless girl, no bad feelings. He gets along well with the other girls, including me. His hair was cut and bought a new dress. We have a funny relationship.
Ah, but the name was changed System.
“White Rulebook” ── The power of submission by cause and effect.
Hajime-kun put it on.
…… Okay, yes. I feel you hear great.
Hajime-kun and I decided to call Tanaka Umeko. The last name I started, while Hajime-kun was in charge of putting the name.
What will you do with it? None of us have idea.
However, no matter what you think Hajime-kun do with Umeko-chan, that does not change the fact that she is the person with the strongest power.
An irregularity in the Faerie War.
It is an existence ── the other participants not ignore.
In the end, Tanaka Umeko joined us, so the future of this war will become more intense. And although we, Fallen Black, will play an important role in this calamity, it will something to happen later.
