“Kuh....We got sniffed out by DEM!?”

“......Aah. Their target is most likely Shin.....Sorry. it is our fault. I never would have imagined that they would get close that easily”

“No, it can’t be helped. I am fully aware that it will not work out like how we do it in <Fraxinus>.-----and more importantly, how are we going to escape from this situation. Kuh, what nasty timing......!”

Kotori said that angrily. However, it was only normal for her to do so. Right now, they don’t have the <Fraxinus> and the Spirits can’t use their Reiryoku. Adding the strongest Wizard Ellen Mathers into the picture, this can be described as the worst combination.

“......We have no time. You girls, please continue with Shin’s conquering. We will somehow manage the matters with Ellen Mathers”

“You said handle, but how------“

“.........I don’t want to use this if possible but, I prepared this counter measure just in case. Leave this to me”

Reine told her that in a calm manner. Kotori hesitated for a moment before “I understand” nodded.

“It’s probably going to be alright since Reine said it. ----I’ll leave this to you. We can no longer use the pool since this is the situation. Initiate the second sequence, please prepare the spare facility”

“......Aah, I pray for your------“

And. Right in the middle of Reine’s sentence, a shadow walked out slowly from the edge of Kotori’s view. ----it was Shidou.

“Oi oi, now that’s a flashy mess. -----you lots are the ones that started this. Of course, all of you came here prepared right?”

After saying that, he glared at the countless <Bandersnatch>s floating in the sky while opening his legs as if to stabilize himself and brought both his hands near his hips.

“Shidou....? What are you doing?”

After Kotori asked him with a dubious face, Shidou glanced over to Shidou and *fufuun* snorted.

“Just watch”

He then concentrated Reiryoku light inside his hands.

And then----shouted.

The name of that technique.

(Ougi[12c 4]!-Roaring Flash Blast Waveeeeee!)

Shidou thrust out both his hands together with a strong shout.

A strong Reiryoku wave gushed out of Shidou’s palms instantly.

Even when compared to Tohka’s <Sandalphon> and Origami’s <Metatron, the torrent of condense power is not inferior in anyway; it completely pierced through the collapsing ceiling and lighted up the night sky like it’s mid-day for a few moments. 10 presumed units of <Bandersnatch> concentrated above, could not escape the sudden attack and scattered about like fireworks.

“No wayyyy!?”

Kotori’s voice turned inside out. No, thinking carefully, since Shidou currently possess Reiryoku worth 8 Spirits, these small matter isn’t mysterious at all but..........how should she put this. It feels like she’s looking at a really strange scene here.

“Re-reine, this isn’t what you meant by counter measures right......”

“........It’s an obvious no”

When Kotori asked in a troubled tone, Reine silently replied back with a quiet voice.

Shidou then wiped his forehead in a manner as if he finished his task.

“How’s the taste of the results I got after a long time of training. -----just kidding”

“...........”

It’s really funny but, the power was fear worthy. As expected, they can’t let Shidou stay like this. It’s not like she lowered her guard but, Kotori renewed her determination.

“Shidou-san......!”

When Kotori was thinking, Yoshino ran over towards Shidou. Now that she thinks about it, it was currently right in the middle of Yoshino’s turn to conquer Shidou.

“Aah, Yoshino. Relax. I took care of the annoying bugs”

“Ha-haaa..........”

Yoshino replied vaguely while sweating profusely. Although, it’s not like she can’t understand her feelings. It’s only natural to show that reaction after seeing that attack.

At that moment, Kotori blinked her eyes several times. The stomach part of Yoshino’s one piece was torn and her cute belly button popped out.

“Yoshino, that”

“Yes, what’s-----Ah”

Apparently, she noticed it because Kotori told her. Yoshino looked down at her stomach before raising her voice in shock.

“Oh my..........looks like it got hooked by something. Isn’t it a better to change?”

“Ah....it’s okay. If that’s the case......”

After hearing Kotori’s words, Yoshino replied that before suddenly placing her hands on her swimsuit’s shoulder strap. She then, pulled it down.

“Wai-wait Yoshino!?”

Even though Kotori quickly tried to stop her, it was too late. With [Yoshinon]’s help, Yoshino stripped down her swimsuit until it reached her hips. Yoshino’s white skin which was covered by the one-piece swimsuit was now exposed to the air.

“........heh?”

But-----Kotori blinked with surprise.

Under Yoshino’s swimsuit was another tube-top type bikini worn.

“Yoshino, what’s that”

“Yes........Yoshinon told me it’s better to wear it just in case........”

“Just in case........it’s not for when your swimsuit gets ripped apart right?”

“Err......well.....yes”

Yoshino embarrassingly narrowed her shoulders while her face turned red.

At that moment. The fanfare which signifies the excitement value 90% break echoed from the Incam.

“.......!?”

When she looked over towards the shocked Shidou, she found him gazing at stripped Yoshino with a really interested gaze. He was placing his hand on his chin and would sometime nod as if he was reviewing fine arts.

“Er-errr.......”

Having noticed his gaze, Yoshino’s face turned even redder.

“....Yoshino.....what a terrifying child”

Kotori mumbled that with a shocked voice.
