The voice was entirely that of a third party.

　And it was a child's.
　The voice came from the other side of the pile of rubble ...... and it was more than enough to take Allen's thoughts away, if only for a moment.

　--Mother," she cried.
　She was crying out for it.

　Maybe he was calling for his mother out of pain, or maybe he was calling for her out of loneliness and emptiness.
　At any rate, it's easy to guess that either my mother wasn't there or ...... or something happened to her and not to me--

　--The World's End: A Flash of Shi-den.

."--Gyahhhhhh!

　But such thoughts, and more than anything else, a wild scream interrupted the voice of a child, echoed in place at the moment.

　Immediately after, to reach the owner of the voice, Allen let out a deliberately loud sigh.

I told you, didn't I?　If you do anything extra, I'll slash you. No, I didn't tell you that, did I? ...... No, did I not say that?　Well, but it was in such a mood, you can usually tell without saying anything, can't you?

　As he said this, I looked at the man who had lost the tip of his right elbow and was screaming as he desperately held the spurting blood with his left hand.
　I'm not sure if they can hear you, but ...... well, that's fine with me.
　It's nothing to be concerned about.

　It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　When he was distracted by the child's voice, he sensed the man was about to do something and cut off his arm without question.

　The reason why the man was not fired is because he had not yet heard what he needed to hear, not because of any kindness.
　There is no mercy left for the man, and he knows that sometimes humans are more fearsome than demons.

　It is often said that mercy is not for the sake of others, but there is no need for mercy now that it has been avenged.
　You're going to be able to get the most out of this.

"Oh, oh, my, my arm. ......!
Hmm ...... can I listen to this. Or maybe I should just stop the bleeding first?

　Otherwise, they would die of blood loss, and if they didn't have enough blood, they would become fuzzy-headed and unfit to talk.
　The two of them, who were thrown to the ground, should at least be laid on the ground, not on the rubble.

　It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you're in the marketplace.
　Even with all that said, I was going to do something.
　What he was actually going to do is impossible to tell, as he slashed off his arm before he could do it, but it would be a bad idea anyway.
　I still had to be very careful.

　And the ...... child would not be ignored either.
　Rather, it should be second in priority to the man.
　We don't know what's going on, so we need to check.

　Considering the man's words and demeanor, there is a high probability that there are other people who need rescue.
　We don't know how many customers and employees were there when the man attacked, but at least it can't be just a child.

　You will be able to get a lot more than just a few minutes to go through the entire process.

Hmm ......?

　Immediately after, I turned my attention to a piece of piled rubble.
　The man has been screaming for so long that it's very difficult to hear him, but--

"--Okayahsaaan ......!

　The moment he saw the crying child, Allen couldn't help but let out a tongue lashing.

　Then I reflexively turned my gaze to the man and saw the man who should have been screaming like a madman in pain, but now has a smile on his face.

Ha! ......!　......, geez, you've noticed, you've done it, geez, you've done it, ......!　Indeed, it's a bakémon, you know, gee, you're a bakémon. ......

　Even though the man is smiling, there is also a greasy sweat on his face.
　You can see that the man is in extreme pain as he speaks and screams.

　But even so, this man--

You thought I was waiting for you to do nothing: ......!　I knew that you can't do anything about it, you just can't do anything about it, you know. ......!　But if you're going to do it, you should at least be rewarded with an arrow. ......!　Even if you can't do anything about it, you can't do anything about it: ......, you just have to bark at it. ......, that's enough!
"Allen, Mr. Allen. ......?

　He must have noticed that something was wrong with Allen.
　Leeds called out to him from behind, but he had no time to respond.

　One thought that passed through my mind at that moment was.
　Will I take the man's head off?

　But the instantaneous denial is not because of the information, but because you're not sure that would help the conduit to the child.
　In this man's situation, it's no wonder that he was able to ignite the fire despite having his head cut off.
　He felt that kind of obsession.

　And yes, that was why the man laughed, much to Allen's surprise.
　The man had probably put a wire on the kid before Allen arrived.
　Just to harass Allen.

　And from the looks of it, there's a good chance that he's done something else like that as well.
　If you need to do something about it, there's ...... probably not.

　To Allen, these people are strangers.
　People who were just unlucky enough to be the target of a man.

　But it wouldn't have happened if it weren't for Allen.
　So ...... doesn't have to, but it does make sense.
　Unfortunately, the choice to abandon them was almost a choice.

　--The Parallel Paradox: Domain Control, Godspeed.

　--You'll be able to use the power of omniscience, the Code Akashic, to gain access to the heavens.

　Instantly, the color disappeared from Allen's vision.
　Unnecessary information is blocked out, and his perception speed jumps.
　Subjective time stretches, and all of the world's time slows to a crawl.

　You know the man is trying to do something, but you ignore it, moving only a little at a time, sweating fat, and extend your awareness to the entire city.
　This one, too, doesn't need any extra information.
　All you need is the conduit the man has provided.



　Detect, find, and figure out.
　Fifteen in all, for a total of sixty-eight.

　We'll cut them all down.
　It would be impossible.

　But it is a divine power, a power higher than this world.
　But with the power of the gods, the power that is higher than this world, nothing would be impossible.

　--The World's End: The Demon's Tathagata.

　--You're not the only one.

　--A flash.

......!

　Immediately the color returns to my vision and the recoil hits me all at once.
　Your body makes a disgusting creaking noise, but it's okay if you can move.

　It's not over yet.

Ha ha ha ha ......!　Now you've got to deal with all of this in an instant: ......!　Haha, gosh, this, Pokemon ......!　But ......, did you get to read this, ......!

　Just as he said it, the man's swinging left arm slammed into the rubble.
　A slight explosion ...... but that's it.

　It's not that anything happens - no.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about that.
Haha, that much rain, this much rain, that wasn't that kid, but ......, that's not good enough for you. !

　The debris, thrown off balance by the man's blow, was about to fall toward the child.

　But it's not a problem.
　There are a few of them, but it's enough to handle the debris--

......!"?

　--The World's End: A Flash of Shi-den.



　A moment later, the man's left arm was flying through the air, but it was not because he was going to do anything more.

　But that takes precedence, not because the man was going to do something more.
　It was because he made eye contact with someone who was about to jump underneath a child caught in the collapsed debris and was told to take care of it.

　I quickly turned to look in that direction and saw that the debris was just about to break up and Curtis, holding the ...... child, was about to jump away.
　As Curtis rolled to the ground, the debris came crashing down just under his feet.

　The child in my arms seemed to have no idea what happened for a while, but he or she understood that ...... he or she was almost caught in the debris.
　He began to cry and scream furiously.

"Ughhhhhhhhhh!　Okaaaaaaazaaan ......!

　I'm sure you'll be able to see that there is no injury in his or her appearance, although he or she is crying and screaming.
　I'm not sure if it's just for children, but ...... I put that aside for now and let out a breath.

　And then, this time, she went to the man's bottom.
　Sword at the bottom.

Now, ...... do you have any last words?　Well, I'm not going to ask you now.

　The man did not return the words.
　Just as a replacement, the man sneered and Allen lifted his sword.

　And then, without any hesitation, he brought it down.
