Completely Forgotten Memory

FLY AWAYYYYYYY!!

{GUUUUUH!!}

In a huge space where an ice pillar was located, Shias resounding battle yell was followed by a thunderous roar produced from Doryuken. Mixed among those sounds, a Shia with black rabbit ears, a black tail, and black hair crashed into the center ice pillar with a grand impact.

The impact pulverized a part of the ice pillar scattering ice fragments magnificently everywhere. Inside the glittering ice fragments reflecting light, the black Shia, Shias false image, was holding her left shoulder, crouching on the floor while lifting her face. There was a bitter smile that seemed to say You got me floating on her face.

{Ahaha, you arent moved at all, eh? Indeed, it should be a darkness that you are harboring but}

That is that. How my family got driven out, how a lot of them lost their lives, no matter how much it was glossed over, no matter how tormented with guilt I am, no matter how much I try to obtain forgiveness, it doesnt change that I am the cause of all those, those are things that I have to shoulder for my whole life. That worry, that resolve, I have since a long time ago.

{ What is called the darkness of the heart, is something that will sink people into the bottom of the swamp even with all that you know.}

The part of darkness nesting inside your heart wasnt something that someone could be liberated from so easily. Therefore, the false image Shia could only laugh seeing how Shia went completely unshaken no matter how many negative words she had whispered since the start of the battle.

You are me, but as expected you are not everything of me. I understand that the will of the great labyrinth is included in you. If thats not the case, then from the start you should have understood already that the current me wont be shaken by words of that level.

Shia tapped her Doryukken on her shoulder while sending a powerful gaze at her false image who was trying to stand with trembling legs. In those eyes, just as the person herself said, there was not a single waver. For the current Shia, the average mental attack wouldnt even give her an itch.

Certainly, it was because of her that her family was driven out from the Sea of Trees, and due to that, she lost a number of her family members. For Shia, that was a nightmare that couldnt possibly be forgotten, an eternal wound of the heart. But she wouldnt stop moving because of that torment anymore.

The reason was simple. Because Haulia clan was already strong, they chose the path that they walked by themselves. And because at her side, there was her beloved lover and friend.

Her families, including her father Kam who was strong and gentle through thick and thin had sent her off. Hajime, who was entrusted with Shia by Haulia, had accepted Shia from the bottom of his heart. Yue, who sometimes was like her big sister, sometimes as her best friend, always allowed Shia to nestle close to her.

For herself who was that blessed to fall at her own convenience, was something unforgivable especially to Shia herself above all. She had been completely helped. All this time she had been protected. It was impossible for her to bend her knee just from hearing her own feeling. For the current Shia, she felt like she wouldnt lose no matter what kind of enemy she faced.

{Indeed, no matter what I say, its only me who gets weaker. I see, this trial to overcome oneself, you have cleared it already from a long time ago.}

Thats how it is. My important people are waiting so Ill force my way through!

{Fufuh, fine. The last attack, do it to your hearts content!}

The white and black Shia stepped with a force that pulverized the ground, at the same time they charged while their partner the war hammer burst. Echoing bursting sound and the impact sound that was like the air screaming. Attacks that were respectively unleashed from a large swing while rotating once surpassed the sound barrier and broke through the white membrane.

Two war hammers clashed right from the front, producing a thunderous roar and impact that pulverized the surroundings. A crater with Shia and the false image at the center was created as though an explosion happened.

And then, the one that was blown away was the black Shia.

The black Doryuken that left her hand was spinning in the air. Black Shia was blown away in a parabolic arc before she flickered and vanished without waiting to hit the floor. She was melting in the air from her legs. At last, when her head was vanishing her lips slightly loosened.

At the ground zero, Shia who was still in her posture of swinging Doryuken went Fuu~, she slowly breathed out and relaxed her body. Nearby, *karan, koron* the sound of cartridge falling on the ground resounded.

Everyone that went ahead, will they think proudly of the current me, I wonder

While leaking a wry smile at her own words that naturally slipped out while looking at the ceiling, Shia shouldered back her Doryuken. Ahead of Shias gaze, a new passage appeared.

Surely for Hajime-san and the others, this trial wont be a problem but its worrying about Shizuku-san and her friends.

While stepping into the new passage in a rush, Shia thought about Shizuku and her friends whose conditions were considerably beaten up due to the labyrinth, which put a worried expression on her face.

Actually, she never would have imagined that Shizuku would overcome the trial and raise her maiden power.

Shias rabbit ears were twitching while she was trotting through the passage when she finally reached a dead end ahead. For a moment, Shia considered whether she mistook the path, but her excellent sensing ability caught a familiar presence at the other side of the dead end causing her to reflexively made a joyful face.

Keeping her trot, she raised Doryuken in order to destroy the ice wall. A passage was created for her. There was no way the passage ahead was a dead end. An entrance would be automatically created there, which was something she could easily imagine, but her mental tendency was to think Lets destroy the obstacle anyway! Just who influenced her to think like this would be anyones guess.

RYAAAAAhuaa-to-to!

Doryuken was swung in order to smash the ice wall and as expected, lost its target because the ice wall vanished automatically when Shia was near. This caused her to hit empty air. Shia stumbled from the centrifugal force and flew into the new space just like that.

A, ahaha, I guess this is how it works if you think about it. So, it opened up. I wasnt seen by Yue-san, was I?

Shias cheeks reddened from embarrassment while her gaze was timidly wandering around in wonder whether her failure was seen by Yue or not. Yes, the presence that Shia sensed was Yues. Her tension rose up from happiness that she could be reunited with Yue quickly.

In the end, indeed there was a Yue ahead of her gaze. The same as with Shia, at the center of the huge space there was a gigantic cylinder ice pillar, Yue was standing quietly beside it. Her back was facing Shia, so Shia didnt know what expression Yue was making.

There was no presence other than Yue at the surrounding, Shia could see two other passages other than the one she came out from, so she guessed that Yue had already defeated her other self.

Shia smiled proudly of Yues achievement and she was going to call out to her. But, there, Shia suddenly noticed how strangely ragged Yues state was.

Of course, Yue had Automatic Regeneration, so she couldnt receive an external physical wound. But her clothes were not included as the target of that ability so there was a need to use regeneration magic but her clothes, here and there they were torn, burned, or frozen.

That was to say that Yue received the attack of her false image time and time again

Shia widened her eyes slightly. Even if it was Yue whose way of fighting was pressuring the opponent with even more vast pressure while getting attacked herself, based on the nature of this trial Shia thought Yue would be able to clear it unharmed.

Furthermore, although she had defeated her false image, Yue didnt advance ahead. Far from that, she didnt even repair her clothes and stood while thinking deeply of something. From how Yue was slightly looking up without the slightest twitch, it was possible that she hadnt even notice Shias entrance.

Toward Yue who was drifting off in an atmosphere that felt hard to approach, Shia slightly hesitated. She took a deep breath and raised a determined voice.

Yue-san!

Shia?

Toward that bright voice that reverberated in the room, for an instant, Yue twitched in surprise before looking back over her shoulder. And then, looking at the figure of the smiling Shia there her eyes looked down.

Shia the rooms are connected?

Yes. Thats how it looks like. I cleared the trial, passed the newly created passage and arrived here. Yue-san, you have cleared yours too, havent you?

Nn. No problem.

Shia only confirmed her result without mentioning the terrible state of Yues clothes. Perhaps finally noticing her own state due to that, Yue used regeneration magic while glancing a little embarrassedly at the unharmed Shia. In an instant, her clothes were repaired.

Shia felt lost inside her heart. Should she ask her whether something happened or not?

Yue was obviously shaken from the words of her false image. To the degree that she excessively got hit, to the degree that she even forgot to fix her state, to the degree that she didnt notice Shias approach.

Just what in the world was said to her? Yues appearance was unthinkable to come from how she normally was. That was how severe the words were that the false image had told Yue. For that reason, what kind of words should Shia say to the shaken Yue, or should she snuggle close to Yue until Yue had put herself in order. Shia was hesitating between the two choices.

(Just what in the world Yue-san didnt seem particularly affected in the labyrinth. I didnt think Yue-san could be shaken by being confronted regarding the relationship between Hajime-san and us. I guess, the darkness of Yue-sans heart, it might be the betrayal three hundred years before hmm, even that feels like its already too old for the present)

Exactly because Yue was important to her, the inside of Shias heart kept muttering like that.

Shia, Im fine. Rather than that, lets advance forward.

Yue-san you are right. Lets quickly reunite with Hajime-san and others!

Nn. I want to quickly meet Hajime.

Fufu, thats right!

Yue guessed what Shia was thinking and made a wry smile while urging her toward the new passage.

Yue was obviously not okay. Despite this, Shia couldnt skillfully say any words for Yues sake. It made her down to the point that her rabbit ears flopped down and looked withered. But she put herself together thinking when we meet with Hajime-san surely we will manage somehow!, and with a deliberately bright tone she agreed with Yue.

Like that, the two of them walked through the new passage side by side.

Everyone, I wonder if they are able to safely overcome the trial? I think the difficulty level is lower than the forest of tree labyrinth but the condemning here is unique, isnt it?

Nn, indeed. Perhaps its impossible for someone like the hero (lol).

Isnt that right? Because this trial is something like his natural enemy

Along the way, the two of them became animated with trifling talk. Yue was nonchalantly handing down a sharp evaluation of Kouki, but in general what she was saying wasnt mistaken, so Shia couldnt say anything. Certainly, for Kouki who loved to have a convenient interpretation, this trial that was pushing various things at them was considerably unfit for him.

Although even though they were raising Kouki in the topic, inside their hearts worry for the hero was nonexistent. It was merely the flow of their dialogue, and in any case, it was also Shias encouragement toward Yue who tended to submerge herself inside her own heart. Anyway, compared to one of them staying quiet, talking like this was Shias consideration for distracting the mood.

Perhaps Yue also noticed Shias intention, since she responded to the talk with the an air of humor. However, as expected, after a moment it looked like her mind was going far away somewhere. Her eyes strangely lost focus, wandering as though they were looking at a far distance.

In the back of Yues mind, the words of the false image she fought just now were flowing once more.

?Who was the real betrayer?

?You still, dont remember?

?About your parents?

?What are you, did you forget?

?You are just trying not to think of it?

?You are running away?

?You are really thinking that you can be at his side forever?

The sneering false image of herself. That fake kept using words that hinted at the tragedy three hundred years ago.

Three hundred years ago Yue was the inheritor of the throne of the vampire clans country. It was a small country, but it was a country so powerful that it was extolled as the country of a small fierce god.

The reason for that was the characteristic of the race of the vampire clan. Through the intermediary of blood, they strengthened their body, magnified their magic power, and lengthened their life. There was no other race with such a power. The act of sucking blood itself also made others harbor thoughts of awe.

The one born of the direct royal lineage of such a country was Yue. She stood out with beauty and overflowing magic power causing her to be given expectations since she was a baby. She had the natural talent to absorb all the magic and knowledge taught to her. Unfortunately, she didnt have talent in martial arts alone, but Yues existence was so clearly above the rest that such a thing could be decided to be unnecessary.

And then what guaranteed her status was the cheating ability she manifested at the age of twelve. The direct manipulation of magic power and the ability to configure the magic circle by imagination, and then the characteristic magic Automatic Regeneration??those were terrific abilities just like those from the characters who were recorded at the age of the gods.

At that time, there was so many countries in number that couldnt be compared with the present, the war only kept intensifying, but Yue who was dispatched on the battlefield as ready fire power for her country amply exhibited her strength, trampling down the enemy literally like a fierce god.

As the result, Yues fame and awe increased, and at seventeen she ascended to the throne.

At twelve, she was smeared with the killing intent and hatred of the battlefield, and just five years later she became the pillar that supported the country. If it was a normal girl, surely she would be crushed by the pressure and her mind fall sick. But Yue was too strong and wise to be crushed from that.

There was also the help of her trusted vassals and her uncle who was the prime minister. After that too, Yue bet everything and offered her all for the countrys sake. he protected her country throughout the war. She believed that she would keep protecting them just like that.

Until that day when her most trusted uncle along with his subordinates came to kill her.

After two years passed since Yue succeeded the throne, she noticed that a strange distance was created between her and her uncle. No, honestly speaking her uncle began to avoid Yue. And his subordinates were also the same.

Yue at that time was very perplexed at the sudden distance with her uncle, who in a certain meaning she had contact with even longer than both her parents. While worrying whether she had made a mistake that displeased her uncle, several times she tried to create a chance for the two of them to talk.

However, ultimately the chance for the two of them to speak frankly with each other didnt come to pass when she noticed a gap had been created in their relationship and a few more years passed.

Furthermore, unnoticed by her, the awe of the people toward Yue changed into simple terror toward a monster. Bad rumors regarding Yue were flowing without pause. Her great service in the battlefield for the sake of protecting her country was ironically spurring those rumors.

The people who she trusted the most had already left Yues side with no one remaining. In exchange, her uncles political power was increasing and people gathered around him. Such a thing happened to an unnatural degree.

And then, that final day arrived. The day of destiny.

At the time while she was welcoming an envoy from another country in the throne room, her uncle along with his subordinates in full equipment rushed in. And then they slaughtered without question her. These close aides that were from the faction of the previous king and queen, their killing blade, killing intent, were also directed at Yue.

While Yue was dumbfounded, her body was hit with lethal attacks many times. Her Automatic Regeneration instantly recovered her wounds, but even so Yue was at the height of confusion, no, Yue was denying the reality and didnt even try to counter attack. Then she noticed she had been sealed with her body unable to move, and in the middle of transport to be imprisoned in that abyss.

Looking at it objectively, what happened could only be seen as her uncle aiming at the throne of the king due to his ambition causing a coup dtat. Actually, Yue herself submitted to reality and came to think that her uncle betrayed her during her three hundred year imprisonment.

But, but

( Why didnt un that man, kill me?)

That was right. That strangeness Yue only realized now while being sneered by her own false image.

That day of destiny. Yue didnt resist the betrayal of her uncle. All this time, Yue was convinced that her uncle helplessly sealed her because he couldnt kill her due to the Automatic Regeneration. The absolute darkness of three hundred years, and then the overwhelming isolation had stolen all thought of any other possibility.

But, Automatic Regeneration wasnt absolute. It was dependent on magic power. If her magic power dried up, then she wouldnt regenerate. It was possible to kill her if she was continuously attacked until her magic power ran out. In actuality, Yue didnt resist because of the extreme shock and in the end, her magic power was considerably decreased because she regenerated too much.

Her uncle should have killed Yue.

( He was strong. He was at a level above the rest both as a politician and also as a fighter. For such a man to fail to kill me at that place was impossible.)

In the back of Yues mind, the memory of three hundred years ago was resurrected vaguely. The truth that was pushed at the deepest recess of her mind inside the darkness was coming back little by little in a clearer image.

( That man didnt kill me, but he had to seal me. Why is that?)

Yue immersed herself in her thought and traveled down memory lane. A nostalgic voice resounded in the back of her mind. A tone of voice that was gentle, yet painted with sadness and frustration, and also guilt to the utmost.

(?, Im sorr?. Other than this, there is no other wa? Someday, surely, ?a person you can lean on will appear. If its that person, surely they will protect you from?without fail. ?, I, do something like thi?. But, dont for?. ?e, I love?)

Blond hair exactly the same as hers. Red eyes. Face with standing out wrinkles carved from hardships. For Yue who was hazy due to the effect of the seal and the mental burden and the heavy consumption of her magic power, she couldnt listen to everything. But, one thing that she remembered? was the sensation of the hand lovingly brushing the cheek of Yue that was sticking out from the cube that sealed her.

Yue quietly brought her hand to her cheek. Somehow she felt like she could feel the warmth of that time. That was a warmth different from Hajime. If she had to say, it was like what a parent would direct toward their daughter

( I, was thinking of that man as a father? But, thats, my real Otou-sama and Okaa-sama were)

To someone who should be a betrayer, who should be a hated enemy, a fragment of her memory was contrary to her expectation. She searched for her true parents deep in her hazy memory.

However, no matter how hard she fished at the shelves of her memory, no proper recollection came out. But rather than forgetting, it was more like there was no impressive event with them that she could remember even after three hundred years passed that was how she felt.

On the contrary, she had the feeling in her fragmentary recollection of her parents, that they somehow resembled closely the atmosphere of the people of the country that she saw at the trial of the Merujiine Undersea Ruins.

It felt like an ice block slid down Yues back. Chilling shakes assaulted her whole body.

( Dont tell me, Otou-sama and others were)

After she started doubting, unnatural memories kept coming out the more she pulled out.

Based on Yues memory, the war at that time was also heavily influenced by religion with no exception. But she thought that her country was unnaturally thinly related with such thing.

Even after Yue was enthroned, when she came into contact with the religious envoy her uncle would also attend with her without fail. In the first place, as long as the situation wasnt something that was really important then it would be her uncle that would deal with all that.

Her uncle was deeply knowledgeable and wiser than anyone. If it was about domestic affairs, if it was on the battlefield, he was a powerful familiar user that made use of several monsters. But, now that she thought about it, it felt like he was off the proper track as a vampire.

Both of Yues parents treasured her and raised her up like a princess, they would give her anything she wanted and allowed anything that she wanted to do, but now when she looked back, rather than seeing it as love of parents toward their child, it felt like more of a respect and affection for her.

Rather, it was her uncle that gave her love as a parent.

Yue suddenly recalled.

( That man when he began to put distance with me he looked really painful.)

Her uncle, after one year past her enthronement, was constantly frowning in distress, it was like he was rapidly aging. That change was surely unnoticed except only by the people who were extremely close to him. Yue at that time was also feeling very worried at the same time when she was feeling anxiety and sadness from their distance.

Her uncle betrayed her for the sake of his ambition and imprisoned her for a very long time inside the prison of darkness. Yue believed that, but she was shaken by the words of her false image, a fragment of her resurrected memory was slowly showing Yue another possibility.

Surely, looking at it objectively, being imprisoned in endless darkness had fixed itself in Yues memory completely. If she didnt hate someone, didnt throw away her hope and soaked in despair while passing her time apathetically, her heart wouldnt last. That was why she firmly took the reasoning that looked the most correct as truth.

But

( I mistook my memory?)

By any chance, there might be something different to the truth. Yue who began to think so and once more asked a question.

That was why did her uncle have to seal her?

At the same time, the words of her false image flashed.

??You really think that you can be at his side forever?

Terror ran through Yues body. Reflexively, she embraced herself tightly to repress her body that was going to tremble.

Hajime was the light for Yue. He appeared by tearing apart the darkness, illuminating, warming her, a light that gave her peace and happiness. To lose that, was the same as death for Yue.

But, if, if it turned out that she couldnt stay by his side

Yue-san!

!? Ah, Shia?

When she noticed, Shia had caught Yues shoulders and stared at Yue from the front with a serious gaze. Just how much had she immersed herself in her thoughts? When she noticed, the end of the path was visible behind Shia who was looking at her, It seemed they had walked until the end of the path.

Shia released her hand from the absent-minded Yues shoulders. This time, she grasped Yues two hands tightly. She clasped those hands to her chest in order to transmit her existence and warmth to Yue even for a bit.

Please talk, Yue-san. What was said to you?

Thats

Shia threw away her hesitation looking at Yues abnormal condition and asked straight. She thought that she must not wait anymore to deal with Yue because there was no more time for careful consideration.

Shia was staring from really close as though to peer into Yue who was speaking ambiguously. Looking at Shias determined face, Yue felt that she couldnt avert this talk and sighed deeply.

Im sorry Shia. I myself still havent sorted this out.

You cannot talk about it?

Nn. I was told of various things about the past my feelings toward Hajime and Shia is not shaken at all so there was no problem with the trial but from that, there might be a mistake in what my memory remembers. I want to sort it out, so wait for a little.

Is that so

Shia didnt seem like she could accept it. Her hands were grasping Yues hands tightly and didnt loosen at all.

Thinking back, Shia had really come far and become strong, Yue secretly smiled of that. And then she considered while looking at her grasped hands.

Even though she was just a regretful rabbit that could only run away and cling to other people, she desperately worked hard, followed them with her all, and before they realized it, she had become like this, someone that could protect them. She even made the obstinate Hajime surrender. Perhaps she couldnt even call her as someone like her little sister anymore. Now she was a splendid woman.

Perhaps because of that the words which welled up from her bad premonitions leaked out from Yues mouth.

Shia.

Yes. What is it, Yue-san?

If, if, something happens to me then please take care of Hajime.

Those words were entrusted to a beloved person, with a serious gaze. For Yue, those words were the greatest and highest words of trust.

But, Shia who was entrusted with those words

*PAN-!!*

!?

Returned a slap.

It wasnt done with body reinforcement, but even so, it was a serious slap without any mercy or holding back. The eyes of Yue whose head was turned away from the snap widened. She returned her gaze at Shia, there, she met eyes burning in rage that she had never witnessed until now.

Are you joking?

Her voice too contained rage that she had never heard until now. Shias body was trembling, surely from the overflowing emotion that she was currently repressing. Even her atmosphere, it was like the scorching magma that she experienced at the Guuryuen Great Volcano.

It was Shias serious fury. That great pressure and rage made Yue stiffened for a moment.

She immediately opened her mouth to make an excuse.

You, youre wrong I, if its Shia

So its not a joke?

Shia confirmed with scorching tone while taking a step back from Yue. She then abruptly shouldered Doryuken. She looked down at the dumbfounded Yue with dangerously narrowed eyes. And then, Shia opened her mouth with even more scorching low voice.

I dont know what you were told about, but you really turned into a pathetic coward, didnt you? That pathetic face, Ill put it into shape together with your guts.

Shim Shia? Wa?

Toward Shia who was releasing tremendous rage, Yue tried to tell her to calm down. At that moment, an attack of Doryuken without a single drop of mercy was swung at her.

Yue barely back stepped to dodge the horizontal sweep. Doryuken passed by and impacted the ice wall at the side without stopping, pulverizing it with a thunderous roar. Although the ice wall began to regenerate immediately, the radial hole that was instantly created showed Shias seriousness.

Shia. This joke has gone too far.

Joke? Are you still saying cowardly thing like that after it has reached this point? If you dont understand, then Ill say it clearly, Im serious here. If you dont withdraw your previous joking statement yes, I, will seriously wreck up Yue-san.

Shia, Im seriously-

FLY AWAY! SHAORAAAAAA!!

!?

Shias Doryuken was swung fiercely once more. The speed of the swing surpassed the sound barrier and generated a wall of air like a white membrane, right after that, *PAN-* a bursting sound exploded. And then, the ice wall of the passage that was hit was pulverized into very small fragments with just one attack.

Yue desperately evaded that attack in the narrow passage with few places to dodge. But in the first place, close range combat wasnt her specialty. She was already surpassed by Shia who specialized in that range. It was clear that she would be immediately cornered.

Yue thought that she had to restrain and calm Shia down first. She resolved herself and stood her ground in the storm. In a moment, the war hammer was swung down with a terrific momentum from above. That grazed Yues right shoulder and pulverized her shoulder bone just from that.

Even while staggering from the pain and impact, Yue left that kind of wound to her Automatic Regeneration, invoked her Calamity Sky and sewed the swung down Doryuken to the ground. At the same time, she invoked Ice Coffin and jumped over the leaning forward Shia.

While turning around, ice was visibly rising rapidly from below Shias foot. Just like usual, Yues Ice Coffin was trying to lock her inside the ice.

But, for the current Shia, there was no way a magic of that level could stop her.

Thats nave, Yue-san!

Doryuken should be hard to move with the weight of Calamity Sky, even if it could be moved the ice was clinging too close to the body that she wouldnt be able to break it with Doryuken Yue thought that but Shia suddenly raised one of her hands and struck down on the ground.

Instantly, *DON-!!* such shockwave sound was generated while the surrounding ice was blown away with Shia as the center. She blew away the ice clinging to her body by generating an impact with her fist.

Furthermore, without stopping she lifted up Doryuken with all her strength, changing it into firing mode and pulling the trigger without a moments delay.

A bullet flew out along with a bursting sound. A slug bullet in a narrow and straight passage ? naturally it was hopeless trying to dodge it and Yue employed a protective wall. Aiming at that, this time Shia fired the slug bullets rapidly. Inside the passage, magic power rippled as faint blue color were spreading in many layers and the grand impact was raging on.

Shia! Stop playing around.

Thats my line, Yue-san. Have you come to reflect on yourself a little to withdraw your statement?

Why?

Why? Do you really not understand?

The protective wall was cracked due to the impact of the bursting slug bullets. Naturally, Yue immediately repaired it, but she couldnt move due to the extreme rapid fire.

Yue looked at Shia across the protective wall. She was looking while frowning sadly, wondering why Shia was that angry toward the proof of trust she gave her.

But, ahead of her gaze ? the expression of Shia who was pulling the trigger of firing mode Doryuken was even sadder than Yues, even now she looked like she was going to cry. There was still fury overflowing there, but she was obviously hurt by Yues words.

You said you entrusted, that means the future ahead from there will be without Yue-san there isnt it

Shia.

Something like that, such a future do you think I will accept it? Do you think I will be happily permitting it!? Do you think I will honestly say [yes] hearing that!

The reason Shia was angry was, in other words, something like that. It sounded nice if it was called trust, certainly it was the greatest trust Yue could show, but for the receiving side it was something intolerable.

That was natural. Shia loved Yue. A trust with the assumption that Yue who she loved wasnt there wasnt something she could accept with a smile while saying Yes, thats fine.

After Shia fired the last bullet of Doryuken, she stepped forward with a force that pulverized the ground. Yue whose eyes widened in realization from Shias words, for a moment, shaved her consciousness from controlling her magic.

That was a fatal opening in front of the current Shia. Doryuken weight was increased up to two tons in one mercilessly strike.

Guh!

The protective wall was pulverized, a shockwave along with strong wind attacked Yue. She has blown away magnificently.

In that interval, Shia instantly reloaded Doryukens bullet. And then Yue has blown away until the wall of the dead end. The moment the entrance of the passage behind her opened, she was further struck by the bursting slug bullet.

Divine Severance!

Once more Yue deployed a protective wall while she was protected by that spherical wall she has blown away into the room from the entrance due to the impact.

From inside the flame explosion that wrapped the entrance of the passage, Shia leaped into the room with her rabbit ears flapping.

Ahead of them was

Fue!?

{Wha, what is!?}

The appearance of Kaori and a gray false image in Nointos appearance stiffened in their posture where their twin swords locked with each other.

Now, Yue-san! If you dont want to be wrecked up, please say sorry right now!!

Shia pointed with a snap at Yue with her Doryuken.

It seemed that she planned to ignore Kaori there completely.
