'Sola, Luna!　Cover me!

　I can't take care of Suzu by myself.
　I have to keep her alive until Kanade and Tania return to the front line.
　That's why I've called in Sora and Luna for backup.

　Since Suzu and I are so close to the edge, we wouldn't normally be able to unleash our magic.
　Because it would involve me.
　But there's only one way I can avoid getting involved.
　I'm sure the two of you will realize that!

'Paralyze shock!!!!'

　As I had hoped, Sora and Luna unleash their state abnormality magic.
　I have an ability called 'State Abnormalities Completely Disabled'.
　With this, there's nothing wrong with getting caught up in it.

''Mya!

　Looking numb, Tin-san let out a strange voice.
　No matter how much Suzu-san was the strongest of the strongest species, the cat spirit race was vulnerable to magic.
　They couldn't seem to overcome that weakness and were affected by the state of affairs.

　''Now's your chance!

　He's trying to brush off Suzu's legs and push him to the ground....

Yeah.
What...?

　
　
　He avoided my attack with the minimum amount of movement necessary, with no waste at all.

　My leg kicked in the air as the foot sweep was avoided.
　Then, on the contrary, Suzu-san applied a foot sweep to me and I fell to the ground.

''Why........!
''Hmph. The weakness of the cat spirit race is magic. I've spotted a good point..............................Did you think I would leave a weakness as a weakness for any length of time?　There's nothing we can do about attack magic and the like, but we've been training to be able to move to a certain extent even if we're affected by state magic.

　Suz-san says plainly.
　I can't believe you can move even when you're under a state magic....
　How can you learn to do something so absurd?

　Not good.
　Suz is even tougher than I thought.
　She's always outperforming us.

　However, we can't give up.
　If we give up here, we'll have to leave Kanade!

"The magic we can use is...
There's a lot more to come!

　Sola and Luna shout.

'Poison....'
Freeze...

　The magic to add poison and the magic to freeze were about to be released, respectively.
　However, Suzu moved before that.

''I can't do the same move.
What?
Mug?

　Suzu swung her fist out wide, as if to strike a huge enemy.
　Just like that, a shockwave was generated by the fist strike.

　The shockwave engulfed Sora and Luna and threw them both high into the sky.
　
　The two turn their eyes around as it is.

''Gap........''
'Aliiiiiiiiiiiiii!

　Kanade and Tania, who should have been thrown away, were back before they knew it.
　They pounced on Suzu, who was still in a position with her arms out, at the same time.

''There's no such thing as an opening.''
Meow!
'Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!'

　Kanade and Tania are thrown off again.
　They are sent flying with a tremendous force and roll on the ground.
　Will it be okay, that...?

　That's a bit of a letdown. I haven't moved at all from this position, you know?
Shh....

　This guy is a hell of a monster.
　I thought I knew his physical prowess and strength from playing tag in the daytime, but.......
　This is outrageous.
　The source of this person's power had nothing to do with the physical abilities of the Cat Spirit Clan, but was somewhere else entirely.

　It's 'technology'.
　The skills for fighting are refined to the point where it's almost too much.
　No different than a skilled adventurer............or even more.
　Perhaps you are as skilled as an S-ranked adventurer?

　In contrast, we've been fighting based on our physical abilities alone.
　I've gained a certain amount of experience, but.....
　Such a thing is useless against extremely well-trained skills.

　It's like a child challenging a professional fist fighter to a fist fight.

　The difference in power is overwhelming.
　I didn't expect the difference to be this great....

Is that all you've got?
No, not yet.

　I got a provocative smile from Suzu and slowly stood up.
　Everyone else got up and took their positions as well.

　Though there's more difference than I expected...
　I can't stand still!

'Sola, Luna!　Get with me!
Yes, sir!
Mmm!
Fireball Multi-Shot!

　Unleashing multiple fireballs.
　I can't afford to be lenient, I'm going all out.
　Pouring all the magical power they can muster, the multiple gigantic fireballs rush into Suzu-san.

　Even so, Suzu refuses to move from her spot, as if to show the difference in power.
　He swings his fist and uses the pressure alone to stir up the fireballs.

''Lightning strike!!!!''

　Just in time, Sora and Luna's magic burst forth.
　Like a giant snake crawling on the ground, a bolt of purple lightning rushed through.

''I'll add this one too!

　Tania spread her dragon wings and flew high in the sky.
　Then she struck the dragon breath.

　Sola and Luna's magic.
　And then Tania's breaths exploded as one, but........

It's sweet.

　Suzu's smile was still, or rather, it didn't go away.

　I played Sora and Luna's magic with my fist, head-on.
　As long as it doesn't hit them directly, does that mean it's not a problem?
　He's a hell of a guy.

　Tania's breath was offset by a fist swing, creating a shockwave.
　Me and Kanade have done something similar before...
　It was like we could barely do it together then.
　Besides, Tania was holding back, too.

　Tania should be getting serious now....
　Suzu would prevent him from doing so alone.

'Not yet!'
Mmmm!

　Following the three attacks, he and Kanade ran together.
　The two of them worked together, slamming a storm of fists and kicks into the air.
　But they would all be teased or avoided.

　But that's to be expected.
　As I had read, Suzu's counterattack fists would fly in, but....

There it is!
What?

　With the 'gravity manipulation' that I got from signing a contract with Tina, I reduced the gravity on myself to zero.
　Softly, he jumped over Suzu-san.
　As expected, this was unexpected, and Suzu's fist lost sight of the target and waved in the air.

　In the meantime, the gravity control is released.
　Landing on the ground, I immediately activated Narkami's special mechanism and ejected the wire.
　I tie up Suzu's body from behind.
　Furthermore, Kanade hugs Suzu-san from the front, doubly blocking her movements.

''No matter how much, you won't be able to shake off these restraints immediately!
'Yes, I know. But you won't be able to beat me just by stopping the movement.

　You're right, Tin, but....
　We have a trump card.

Lane!

　The space in the immediate vicinity distorted and Nina appeared, accompanied by Tina.
　She must have decided that it was a perfect opportunity and flew over in transition.

'Nice timing, Nina!
...hmmm!
And then ... it's all yours, Tina!
Hey. We'll take care of it!

　Tina gave a lazy thumbs up....
　As it was, swooshing, he disappeared into Suzu, melting into the air.
