——Office building of DEM branch, three floors underground.
"Hmph, is this what you call (Diva)?"
Standing outside the isolation template surrounded by special features, Westcott narrowed his eyes and showed a fox-like smile.
In the center, Miku, who has exited the spiritual state and is wearing casual clothes, has woken up and is struggling to get rid of the instrument that is cuffing her to the seat.
[Ike? For your sake, I suggest you not get too close to here. 】
[(Diva)’s voice has the ability to control others. Without a display device, it can expand into any realm. Even you will be controlled. 】
Eileen's voice suddenly came from the earphones, making Westcott's mouth corners rise slightly.
"Ah. My dear Ailian cares about me so much. I'm really happy."
"But it doesn't matter. You won't let that happen, right."
(Then, let me see, what is the difference between this elf and [Material A].)
The curve of the corners of his mouth became wider, and Westcott's eyes became frightening.
"Tsk."
Hearing the other party's words of trust in others in an unpleasant tone, Ailian was helpless and speechless, as if she was used to it.
Ignoring Westcott who was "watching", Ellen focused on the (Diva) she had just captured - Miku.
"Give up. Your body has been injected with a special anesthetic. Even the elf's system cannot recover in a short time. We have already tested this."
"So, let me ask you again, since you know the existence of AST, have you ever heard of (Ratatosk)?"
Holding the notebook in her hand, Ailian continued to inquire without making any progress.
"I don't know! Who are you, please let me go quickly——"
With a dissatisfied tone, Miku knew that she couldn't leave for the time being and had no choice but to look at Ailian.
"Ah...if you look carefully, you may be a little older, but you are still my type~ What do you think, do you want to come to my side?"
After discovering Ailian's youthful appearance, Mijiu's eyes lit up and she tried to use her abilities.
But it’s probably just old habits that I’ve fallen into...
"...A bit older?"
【Ha ha ha ha!】
The corners of Elaine's eyes twitched when she heard this, and Westcott's laughter coming from the earphones made her even more unhappy.
Fortunately, Ailian's self-cultivation is still good, and in a certain respect, Mijiu's statement is actually right...
"...Is it really useless? Then at least tell me the purpose of imprisoning me?"
Finding that her abilities were ineffective against Aileen, Miku had to give up the plan.
"Purpose? I——"
【Let me answer that question for you.】
""——!""
Just as Ailian was thinking about speaking, the sound amplified by the loudspeaker suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two, echoing in this unique facility.
"who is it!"
[I am Isaac Westcott, the executive director of DEM. Please remember me in the future.]
【I am the one who asked Eileen to capture you, Miss (Diva).】
"——A man again?!"
Her expression became increasingly ugly. If her whole body hadn't been so weak, Miku would have burst out.
[As for why I want to arrest you...]
[Of course it’s because of the “Elf Power” in you. 】
Although she didn't want to listen to the man at all, Westcott's words still reached Miku's ears.
Her face changed. The word "Elf Power" seemed very similar to the thing she got in despair...
【In order to reverse this world and carry out new changes, your (power) is necessary! 】
Although his tone was very relaxed, Mijiu could deeply feel the madness in it.
As if to get rid of the coldness in her body, the singer girl struggled again.
"I really don't know what to say. Get me out of here quickly!"
"I told you not to waste your efforts, here..."
Ai Lian sighed with a look of disobedience, just when Ailian was about to teach Miku a lesson.
——Beep beep beep!!!
"Space earthquake alarm?!"
Ailian was surprised when she heard this familiar voice. Mijiu also calmed down, her eyes seemed to be expecting something.
[The music to warm up the ‘stage’ has started, and it seems that our ‘actors’ have already arrived. 】
With a happy look on his face, Westcott turned around and left, heading deeper.
"Oh my, my, Wanyuri, you are really reserved in a certain way~"
Looking at the blond girl who actively increased her spiritual power in the air to trigger a [Space Shock] warning, even though Kuang San said this, she did not stop her.
"You're not planning on 'sneaking in' anyway, are you?"
"Alright alright."
Realizing that the city had almost entered the anti-space earthquake mode, Kuang San shrugged in agreement, and two spiritual guns appeared in his hands.
"Then it's almost time for us to welcome the guests."
"Um."
While responding softly, not far away, countless black spots emerged from the building.
Taking a deep breath, Wan Yuri shouted in her heart.
——(Divine Power Spiritual Equipment·10,000), fully unfolded!
The white school uniform was replaced by a gold-based spiritual outfit, and a sword wrapped in flames appeared in his hand.
"Come here! (Zaphkiel)!"
Youyou raised the handle of the gun, and Kuangsan also summoned his own [Angel].
"Go! 'I'!"
As soon as the words fell, countless 'Kurang San' appeared from the shadows, laughing "hee hee" and getting entangled with each other's combat weapons.
In an instant, slashes of thunder flames and gunfire pierced the sky.
It's like the trumpet that begins the war.
…
"Found it! (Nightmare)!"
Shortly after the battle started, a junior high school girl with her hair tied into a single ponytail suddenly rushed into the battlefield, shouting Kurumi's identifying name, and slashed at her true form among countless "Kurumi".
"I just 'killed' you once before, didn't you expect to show up again?"
"Oh, it's you."
"Is your name Takamiya Mana?"
Using his spiritual spear to fight off the attacking girl, Kurumi tilted her head.
"Cause such a large-scale battle! (Nightmare)! What on earth do you want to do?"
"Haha, I don't think you should ask me this question~"
"And if you talk to me in a casual tone, I will be troubled~"
With a charming smile, Kuang San pointed the weapon at himself.
"The me now is different from the 'me' I used to be~"
——『Alef』!
…
(Is Chong Gong really that...forget it, rather than dealing with Kuang San's side, let's deal with my own side first...)
Glancing in Kurumi's direction out of the corner of his eye, Wanyuri turned his attention back.
Just when Kurumi was being targeted by Takamiya Mana, a troublesome customer also appeared on her side.
Tobiichi Origami and her teammates.
"AST..."
It’s true that wherever there are elves, there are them...
Unfolding the spiritual shield to defend against the continuous attacks, Wanyuri raised the flaming sword.
Judging from the appearance of the other party, she must be trying to drag herself into a protracted war. If this happens, she will be the one who is disadvantaged.
Then, we can only break through in one breath!
Scanning his surrounding net, Wanyuri made a decision. (To be continued)
