10 Episode 9 Something Beyond the Battle





I'm in.

 A gust of wind blew from Leia's feet as she muttered that. The wind enveloped Leia like a small tornado. It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with your friends. At the same time, Leia's eyes, which were black, turn vermilion.

''That little girl, no way!

 Chloe exclaims in surprise.

''God let down!''

 With a thud, Leia kicked the ground. In an instant, it was right in front of Nuruhachi's eyes. It was a speed that far exceeded the speed of human movement.

''Haha, this is more than I expected.''

 Nuruhachi murmurs, and smiles happily. Whenever Nuruhachi encounters an enemy strong enough to fight him, he narrows his eyes and lifts both his lips.
 Leia swings the katana she was holding in her right hand at Nuruhachi in a sideways swipe.
 An afterimage.
 Nuruhachi's figure is already gone there, and the illusion created by the magic power is cut and shattered.
 With a bang, the trees behind it were simultaneously cut in half.

The whole dimension is cut off? If it hits you, Nuruhachi won't be safe.

 Directly above Leia, a Nuruhachi was floating in the sky above her.

''The secret art of the east, the god descending. This is the first time I've seen it with my own eyes. I've heard that you possess a god in your body and fight him, but what is it really like? Aren't you just assuming that and faking your own body?

"Do you really think so?

 Leia's voice that answered Nuruhach's question made me cringe.
 A double voice, as if a man's and woman's voices were mixed together.
 In addition, Leia's expression is more like a demon rather than a god inhabiting her form.

'Interesting, it's been a long time since I've been able to get serious.

 Nuruhachi removes the cloak that covered himself.
 The cloak of control.
 The hoops that held back the enormous amount of magic power are removed and a visible magic power spreads around Nuruhachi and throughout the area.
 Countless small magic circles emerged in the space around Nuruhachi. Nuruhachi holds his hands out in front of him and moves his fingers. It's like playing an invisible keyboard, and for a moment, I'm almost fascinated by its gorgeous finger movements.
 But it was the Prelude to Hell (Prelude).
 Every time Nuruhachi strikes an imaginary key, light erupts from the magic circle in space, turning into a beam and hitting Leia. It's a super-attack magic that Nuruhachi is very good at.
 Laser beams rain down on Leia like a hailstorm. However, Leia doesn't even try to avoid it.

'Senbon Asura'

 Is it the name of the technique?
 Leia's arm with the katana splits apart as if there were a thousand arms. Is it due to the super speed? The swordsmanship sliced through all the beams in a rhinoceros pattern, breaking them apart.

''Amazing, this much?

 Chloe squeals with excitement.

The two of you can't win in this form. Takumi-dono, do you mind if I take dragon form?
No, no, no. You're not doing anything. If a stray bullet comes through that door, just guard it.

 You'll want to run away to fight an alien.
 All it takes is a beam of light and I'm dead.

In the meantime, whoever touches me first wins! You kill him, you lose! Got it?!

 I scream desperately, but there is no answer.
 It must be resonating in my heart. I have no choice but to believe it.

I see, Takumi-dono can stun your opponent the moment you touch him. That's the advice you're going to get, too.
Oh, oh. You're right. You got it right.

 This is not the time for that.
 We have to stop this really fast or it's going to be a disaster.

"Your swordsmanship. Your swordsmanship, it varies from one school to the next. But they aren't all transmitted. Couldn't you just stay in one place?
'Shut up, ....... Shut up and fight.

 In the midst of the fierce battle, I can hear them talking faintly.

I know what it's like to be as powerful as you, but no ordinary person can handle it. They will be jealous of you, they will be afraid of you, and they will persecute you.
I told you to shut up!

 You were upset.
 Leia, who had been slicing through the beam perfectly so far, is disturbed. One of them missed a slash and bounced back with a katana just in time.
 Nuruhachi didn't miss that opening.

'Did you feel comfortable being by Takumi's side?
"?

 An instantaneous movement.
 A Nuruhachi suddenly appears in front of Leia's eyes. The light is gathered in its poised hands as if it were contracted.

''Wave sphere and mass (chi).

 A ball of light struck Leia's stomach. With a flash of light, the light exploded and bang, bang, bang, bang, and Leia flew as she bounced off the ground.

Leia!
Not yet.

 He tried to rush over to her, but Leia quickly got up.

'Don't stop me, Takumi-san! I can still do it!

 The power of the situation makes me shut up.
 But I have to stop it.
 Leia is already in tatters on top of being unseated.

"Can't you feel the pain? "Can you feel no pain, the result of your death-defying training? But isn't that settled? The Nuru Bee touched you.
Well, it's just a magical experience. I'm not defeated yet.

 He was listening to my rules properly.
 But if you don't agree with me here, it's the same thing.

'No. Magic is part of the Nuruhachi. Leia's katana, that's part of you, too.
I'm not, I'm not, I'm not

 Leia looks at the katana in her grip, asks herself, and then falls apart.

'Nuruhachi.'

 He confronted Nuruhachi with Leia at his back.

'What the hell, Takumi. You're going to celebrate Nuruhachi's victory and give me a kiss?
I need you to do me a favor.

 There are things we can't compromise on.
 But we can make a little progress with each other.

'We can't stay together forever, but we can always come here. The bell of transition will be worn forever, like in the past. So I'd like you to leave today.

 They stared at each other without looking away from each other.
 'Huh,' sighed Nuruhachi.

I don't blame you. You owe me. And I'll give you some advice.

 Nuruhachi looked at Leia.
 She dropped to her knees on the ground and struggled to hold back a sob.

'That looks like Alice. That won't last very long.'
I'll be fine. I know.
"Hmm, that's the kind of thing about you: ...... No, no, it's fine. I won't say anything else.

 Picking up the cloak that had fallen to the ground and putting it on, Nuruhachi walked towards Chloe.

'I'm going home today, black girl, I'm tired, give me a lift.
I live here with Takumi. Oh, no, don't touch that. Don't touch that. The horn is a s*x organ.

 Thank God. It looks like they're taking Chloe with them.

"Leia, are you okay?

 The words triggered it. Leia clings to my leg.

'Ugh.'

 It was probably an outpouring of what he'd been holding back all along. It was probably not just the fight with Nuruhachi. Leia, who had been fighting alone for a long time, everything she had been fighting for until now, poured out.

''Aaaaahhhh!''

 Like a small child, Leia sobbed.
 Softly, I patted Leia's head.
 Her clinging feet made a creaking sound of destruction, but I tried my best to hold on.
