[Ding—]
[Congratulations, you have completed the mission: Rescue Operation.]
[Congratulations, you have obtained the reward: Godmother's Laurel.]
[A pure white laurel, a flowering branch blooming from ultimate evil.]
[A holy relic left behind by the "Seat of Evil".]
[She said... Kneel.]
[...]
Exhausting all her strength, risking everything.
Su Yuzu extended her left hand toward the monster before her.
The girl's left hand seemed to grasp something invisible, and she struggled to twist her wrist, "Twist—"
Yamabuki Nanako said... the abilities of all rule-type ability users are utterly unreasonable existences.
Rules are rules.
They allow no change, no question.
They are the most unreasonable existences in this world.
The witch who crawled out from the starving corpses of hell could bestow equal death upon all things.
Even she herself was not exempt.
The lover of the Seventh Sequence "Seat of Evil", despite not even stepping into the First Sequence herself, could erase even the power of the Seventh Sequence "Seat of Evil".
Naturally... as an 'ultimate lady-killer', twisting off the head of a Chimera Amalgam... shouldn't be a problem, right?
Su Yuzu clenched her hand tight.
Director Saionji Sagara had told Su Yuzu that they weren't sure if her ability, "Hand of Paradox", could be used on Aberrants or Catastrophe Beasts.
When there was a chance in the future.
They would go out and catch an Aberrant or Catastrophe Beast for her to test it again.
Right now... facing this Chimera Amalgam that was infinitely close to the Fourth Sequence.
Su Yuzu understood that she might only have one chance to strike.
So she couldn't gamble... gamble on whether her ability would work on a living organism.
The object Su Yuzu chose to bend—
Was the black-purple Catastrophe crystal clusters covering the monster's body.
The black-purple Catastrophe crystals, which in Kujou Katora's perception could only be shattered and absolutely never bent, suddenly underwent a violent deformation.
Bang—
Clots of blood flew.
Like a fragile can under a hydraulic press, the battle ended in an instant.
In the final moment before life withered away.
The man from the "Eye of Insight" cult, who had already transformed into a Chimera Amalgam, looked at the colossal throne of thorns wrapped in countless pitch-black chains that seemed to stand at the end of the world before him.
And on that pitch-black throne, the girl smiling in the dark shadows... swinging her calves.
"Yes..."
"Yes!"
"The world will change because of you."
"Let the 'Eye of Insight'... drive the wheels of fate!!!"
He lunged forward with near fanaticism.
"Let me become nourishment for your growth."
The colossal throne of thorns suddenly seemed to come alive.
Pitch-black thorns spread, tearing at the invisible tentacles and crushing them completely.
And at this moment... Kujou Katora had only just sprinted to Su Yuzu's side.
All she could do... was manipulate the blood to prevent the splashing turbid blood from touching Su Yuzu.
The massive erosion domain shattered instantly.
The world returned to its clamor.
Su Yuzu's figure swayed, on the verge of collapsing.
To ensure a one-hit kill.
Su Yuzu had used almost all her strength.
At this moment... she felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained clean, and the edges of her vision were already shrouded in black.
The world gradually became blurry, bit by bit.
[Ding—]
[The Third Sequence Chimera Amalgam "Defective" has been killed by you.]
"Level 8 - Hand of Paradox" EXP up↑↑↑
"Level 8 - Hand of Paradox" → "Level 10 - Hand of Paradox".
[Your experience has overflowed.]
[Calculating...]
[Crafting in progress.]
[Congratulations, you have obtained "Primary Combat Records" *1.]
[...]
"Primary... Combat Records"?
Amidst her blurry consciousness, Su Yuzu looked at the white laurel that appeared in the materials inventory. And beside the white laurel, the dark golden card that looked no different from the "Basic Combat Records", only with a more exquisite border.
A 'new feed' for "Developing" the little rabbit had appeared.
Her consciousness completely blurred, Su Yuzu only felt so sleepy right now... she just wanted to curl up and have a good sleep.
The girl's body tipped backward.
Kujou Katora hastily and carefully... hugged Su Yuzu into her arms as if cherishing a rare treasure.
'So... soft... '
'And so fragrant... '
'Completely different from myself.'
The girl's hair seemed to carry the sweet and sour, lovely fragrance of citrus fruits.
Kujou Katora wanted to hold Su Yuzu a little tighter.
But... she was worried that the bloodstains on her body, if even a tiny bit stained the girl's body, would be a defilement of the girl's flawlessness.
Splish splash—
The sound of wading through water suddenly came from the empty underground drainage system.
Kujou Katora immediately went on alert.
The hideous beasts guarding her side bared their fangs.
Her current condition was very bad.
And whether it was Miss Yuzu or Miss Yuzu... forget it... let's include Hayabusa for now.
They were all in a state of complete combat incapability.
If there were still remnants of the "Eye of Insight" launching a sneak attack at this time, Kujou Katora could only choose to fight with all her might, draining even the last drop of blood to protect Miss Yuzu.
As the wading footsteps approached, Kujou Katora became increasingly uneasy.
That terrifying... majestic, furious presence.
Kujou Katora even felt that even in her prime, she might not be able to contend with it.
She could only bite her lower lip hard, holding Su Yuzu tightly, silently swearing in her heart that even if she died, she would protect Miss Yuzu.
In the darkness... a pair of crimson eyes lit up.
A young girl in a black trench coat hurried over.
Looking at the newcomer, Kujou Katora froze.
It was a girl with extremely exquisite features, her face cold and stern; just standing there made one feel as if she were ruling over them.
But... the problem was, her appearance was almost identical to the Yuzu in her arms.
The only difference was that Miss Yuzu's smile looked much more alluring than hers.
And... Miss Yuzu had short hair.
The girl who hurried over had long hair that reached her knees.
And also... Kujou Katora tightened the arm holding the girl's chest a little more.
Miss Yuzu's figure was lovely and moving, but the newcomer... Kujou Katora looked at the girl's flat, completely undulating, barren chest with a gaze bordering on pity.
The girl's eyes suddenly became very dangerous.
And Kujou Katora... already knew the identity of the newcomer.
Soga Yura.
The eldest young lady of the main Soga family.
That bastard who shone brightly and attracted everyone's attention... yet made Miss Yuzu suffer so much grievance.
Kujou Katora held Su Yuzu tighter, a cold glint flowing through her eyes.
The bodies of mental-type Espers were mostly fragile.
She was thinking.
If she launched a sneak attack, what were her odds of winning.
On the other side... looking at the girl wrapped only in a bathrobe held in Kujou Katora's arms, Soga Yura's eyes suddenly became very dangerous as well.
Scarlet eyes and crimson eyes stared at each other in the darkness.
Just then... Su Yuzu, curled up in Kujou Katora's arms, gazed with hazy eyes.
The semi-conscious girl looked at Soga Yura before her, thinking this must be an illusion.
How could that bastard possibly appear here.
However... she still habitually poked the Soga Yura chibi figure in the "Operator Development" interface.
The Soga Yura chibi figure, which had been looking righteous and indignant, immediately turned into a (□□) pitiful expression.
But... at the same time, the "Develop" icon above the Soga Yura chibi figure's head, which had always been dim and gray, finally lit up.
[Operator: Soga Yura]
[☆☆☆☆☆☆]
[Feed]
[Develop]
[Interact]
[Locked]
[Locked]
[...]
Completely losing consciousness, Su Yuzu followed her instincts entirely and tapped lightly on [Develop].
Skillfully selecting the newly acquired "Primary Combat Records".
She tapped Confirm.
Soga Yura, who was confronting Kujou Katora, suddenly widened her crimson eyes; the coldness on the girl's face vanished in an instant, and her shoulders trembled gently as if electrocuted. An alluring flush surged instantly onto the girl's pretty little face.
"Mmph..."
Soga Yura's knees knocked together, and her stature instantly shrank a bit.
A soft, delicate sound.
One couldn't hear it at all without listening carefully.
But who was the person standing in front of her?
It was the Third Sequence Kujou Katora.
Seeing the girl's expression, which could be called charming, the experienced Kujou Katora instantly understood what had happened.
"Pfft—" She almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
Lady Fate, you've done a great job!
Hearing Kujou Katora's snicker, Soga Yura raised her head in shame and anger, a terrifying aura pressing towards Kujou Katora.
Kujou Katora had to tilt her head, trying hard to hold back her laughter.
Then... hugging Su Yuzu tightly, Kujou Katora's shoulders shook.
"Ahahahaha!!!"
Why hold it back? She was going to mock her with all her might.
