Erislonium modified, the third floor of the Vanadium basement.

　There, with the ability to change the terrain in the dungeon of the spirit itself, it was remade into a space that was almost identical to the garden of the mansion, and I was facing Alice.

　A short distance away, Emily was standing alongside Vanadium, watching us with a serious expression on her face.

'Let's go then,'
Please.
Okay, ......, go ahead, Ree-chin!

　Snap!　And Alice snaps her fingers.
　Magic, all-mighty, summoned by Ritin.

　From the rift in space, an entity that could be called my alter ego was summoned.

　I took the first move.
　Before Ryouchin came out completely, I fired a series of normal bullets with my right hand pistol and put up a barrage of bullets.
　I used that barrage as a wall and rushed towards Liuchin.

　Da da da da da da da da!

　Ryouchin also fired his gun in rapid succession.
　He was greeted with the same regular bullets. The bullets hit each other in the air, sparking and bouncing off.

　From there, I took a step further, ducked into Liuchin's bosom, and swept him off his feet from a low position.
　Ryouchin quickly jumps a small jump to pull his feet back, and then reloads the gun in his right hand and puts the muzzle of the gun to my head.

　I twist my body to dodge. The bullet that was shot out hit the ground and formed an icicle.

　With the momentum, I turn my body another half-turn, kicking the icicle and sending it flying towards Ryochin.

　Dogon!

　A tremor that made the air tremble.
　The kicks we fired at each other at the icicle smashed the icicle at the same time, and the kicks and kicks collided with each other.
　As a result, the icicle exploded, and we were flung out of each other's space by the recoil.

''Yes ......, you're still amazing Ryota,''
Yes, sir.
'But why aren't you two using your left-handed guns? There's a new round in there.
A killing blow is a very large window of opportunity.
"Huh?
''I used to get attacked by slime and hit it where it slowed down. If we were as strong as we were, the gaps after the attack would be more deadly.
Nah. You think that's what we're both going for.

　Emily and Alice joined me at a distance.
　Their words fell on deaf ears.

　I didn't have the luxury of time to do so, dealing with Riuchin in front of me and Riuchin, who was exactly the same strength as me.

　Both me and Liuchin lacked decisiveness.
　And neither of us are going to shoot the gun in our left hand.
　It's clear that what's in there is a trump card for both of us.

　An exchange of bullets and meatballs at close range. We have seen each other try to pull the trigger and the act of pulling the trigger itself is prevented.
　The trump card is in a state of rivalry, where there is an extremely high probability that the attempt to shoot will go unexploded.

　Time is ticking away.

　My left hand moved reflexively.

　After thirty seconds, Baryochin will disappear when the time is up, so I have to settle this matter before then.
　If you run away from your Ryouchin opponent until your time is up, you'll feel defeated.
　So my left hand moved a little - while I warned myself that it was still too early.

　That created a momentary opening, and Ryochin didn't miss it, but thrust the muzzle of his left gun at himself.

　Time stop.
　He tried to shoot the time stopping bullet using the double accelerator bullet into himself.
　If you can stop time, you are sure to lose, that's Garryochin's trump card.

　And that's what I was waiting for.

　Ryouchin's attention was retracted from me to me.
　Less than a hundredth of a second. But sure enough, Ree-chin's attention was off me.

　I pulled the trigger of my left hand.

　I was able to pull the trigger at the same time as Li-ching.
　I was reading it.
　I knew that he was going to stop time, so I decided on a spinal level to pull the trigger when Liuchin shot left, and I did the same.
　So I was able to pull at the same time.

　And then Liuchin's left hand flew off.

　The time-stopping bullet released from the gun hit the ground and didn't produce any effect.

''It's a combination of acceleration and ironclad.

　An accelerator bullet that gives you speed, and an ironclad bullet that penetrates the slowest of all bullets without interference from anything.

　When those two were put into a vanadium bullet, the speed disappeared (、、、、、、).
　Neither fast nor slow.
　Velocity is gone and gone, leaving only the result of a hit.

　The bullet that exceeded the speed of light bounced off the gun before the time stopping bullet was struck at close range.

　It was as I had read up to this point, I quickly stepped in and put the muzzle of the gun against Ryochin's forehead.

'Checkmate.'
......

　Ryouchin chuckled dexterously with his plush face and raised his hands in a pose of surrender.
　And thirty seconds.

　Time was up, and Ryochin disappeared.

''Fufu...... oops!''
...... (smiling)!

　As soon as the battle was over, Vanadium promptly hugged me and smiled at me.

　With that, Alice and Emily come closer.

'That's great Yoda, I didn't understand half of the battle.'
'Thanks, we managed to win. It was a fine line of paper, though.
Maybe next time, he'll use it, too.
'Either read and deal with the back of it or read the back of it. It's tricky having the same specs as you.
But you won.
Sort of. Alice.
Hmm?
From now on, every day that you don't use your marijuana, I need to borrow it.
Ok. But Li-ching is your trump card, so be sorry the day you use it.
Of course.

　I somehow managed to triumph over myself using the vanadium bullets.

　I patted the young Vanadium's head.

　Ryouchin is big to Alice, but he's becoming more important to me, more difficult to get.

　Stronger than I am now, just a little bit more.
　Always a little bit more than I am, just a little bit.

　That's how you grow.

　I was also trying to develop my strength to keep kids like Vanadium from appearing, I thought.
