Sky Striker Princess, but the swan song of Valkyrie.

Then, very quickly, the other party could no longer contain his joy, and laughing loudly, he raised his hand, and light gathered in his palm.

Yes, I will destroy you, and then I, in my complete form, will replace your incomplete self and rule over all humanity on this planet.

Facing himself and the mirror, the man made this declaration, seemingly about to launch an attack.

One pound

The sound of metal clashing suddenly rang out, and then Kohinata Mirai's vision went black and then bright, and she found that her perspective had shifted to that arrogant man.

[Damn it, you mere creatures driven by others, you dare to rebel against me?!]

Clutching his arm, he roared and cursed at the black and red blades floating in the air.

The black and red blade did not respond; it simply twirled in the air before flying to Lingyi, who was lying on the ground, and emitted a red glow.

[Ha, you wouldn't be planning to... Ha, how ridiculous, to let your own creation control your body.]

The man scoffed, but his hands didn't stop; he quickly stepped forward, trying to stop Shan Dao's movements.

He had done the best he could, but things didn't go as planned.

Just as he was about to knock the flashing sword away, Lingyi's body stiffened in his eyes as she stood up and gripped the flashing sword.

【Armored Zeke】

The words were plain and unremarkable, but they were accompanied by unusual noises.

The black smoke suddenly exploded outwards, and the huge impact knocked the man back slightly.

But this brief distance was an insurmountable barrier for him.

[Damn it, no, that's not right, I won't lose, I'm the winner!!]

The man's voice became inexplicably distorted and filled with fear.

[Gold alchemy, I must use an even more powerful form of gold alchemy; this is my only chance.]

The man spoke loudly to himself, and a sun-like light began to gather in one of his hands.

However, even faster than his gold alchemy was the speed at which the Zero Armor was condensed.

The black smoke that had surrounded her from the very beginning, accompanied by the wails of ghosts, appeared out of nowhere and solidified from its misty state.

Finally, all the solid objects connected together, enveloping Zero's body and forming a black armor about five stories high.

Die, you incomplete thing! The only victor is the complete me!!

Without a moment's pause, this was probably the fastest gold refining the man had ever done in his life, the blazing sun being thrown into the darkness.

[Hmph, yes, that's right, that's exactly it. It's just a hastily constructed armor, its very form is crumbling. Under my mighty power, shatter it!]

As the man spoke, the enormous fireball was about to collide with Zero's armor.

"Zero!!"

Kohinata Mirai's mood couldn't help but rise. She noticed that the armor that Zero had conjured was extremely fragile, and its form began to crack with visible cracks after it was formed.

Such armor could not possibly withstand such a powerful attack.

However, this is something that Kohinata Mirai clearly knows; even the most basic artificial intelligence is aware of this obvious fact.

So, what was the reason that Zero, or rather, Sky Blade, constructed such armor in this critical moment?

Huh?

"well?"

The two observers quickly discovered the answer.

A black streak of light flashed across Zeke's armor, which was facing an unstoppable attack.

Like a mirage, the enormous, pitch-black armor vanished from the canvas called the World after a violent distortion.

boom-

The enormous, high-temperature projectile, described as being made of gold, touched the ground, further expanding the already sunken area.

No, no way, she actually escaped!!

Upon seeing this scene, Kohinata Mirai felt a momentary surge of immense fear within herself.

[Phew, calm down, calm down. Yes, there's still plenty of time. She hasn't had a chance to grow up yet. Yes, as long as I don't give her that time, victory will definitely be mine.]

The man muttered to himself, a look of deep worry on his face.

[I can't wait any longer. I must obtain divine power as soon as possible. Only with divine power can I avoid failure...]

The man seemed to have made up his mind.

Then, after he said something, his perspective began to shake violently.

......

"Phew, after the camera shook, I woke up from my sleep, and in front of me was the hospital where I was recuperating."

After taking a sip of hot tea, Kohinata Mirai sat down beside Kazaki Tsubasa's hospital bed and said this.

"Afterwards, some people came to ask me about things related to Lingyi, but I didn't trust them, so I brushed them off with half-truths."

Kohinata Mirai explained why she had kept it a secret.

After experiencing that incident, she found it difficult to trust those involved in government affairs.

So she lied and said that she had broken off her relationship with Lingyi because she had done something wrong, and that she could no longer be Lingyi's friend.

Those who asked the questions seemed to have some concerns; after asking for a few details, they stopped pursuing the matter further.

"After being discharged from the hospital, I tried to find Lingyi's whereabouts, but as an ordinary person, I exhausted all the clues and still couldn't find her."

Next, Kohinata Mirai explained her efforts.

"And the next time I saw her was last night, when she suddenly appeared and kidnapped Xiang."

"That's all there is to my encounter with Lingyi, Miss Yi. I haven't lied about any of these things."

Finally, with these concluding remarks, Kohinata Mirai ended her story about her past with Rei.

"Hoo... Hinata, so such things happened in the past."

Kazunari Tsubasa breathed a sigh of relief and briefly sorted through the information that Kohinata Mirai had told her.

"Yes, Miss Yi, thank you so much for listening to me."

Kohinata Mirai's expression relaxed slightly.

Over the years, out of guilt and worry, she has never told anyone about these things.

After confiding in her, she felt a little better.

"Well, it's alright, Hinata. What you told me helped me to see my true self more clearly and understand the path I should take. I want to thank you for that."

Feng Mingyi said this, his expression much more relaxed.

After this conversation, the nameless worry that had been affecting her rationality was greatly relieved.

At least now, she can focus on recuperating.

"Well, it's getting late, so I'll be leaving now. Miss Yi, please take good care of yourself."

Kohinata Mirai nodded, glanced at the clock in the ward, and gently bid farewell to Kazanari Tsubasa.

"Ah... um, goodbye."

Having also seen the current time, Fengmingyi also said the same thing.

What happened next was quite natural. Kohinata Mirai stood up, checked her belongings, and turned towards the exit.

squeak-

Then, the door to the ward opened, and a person stepped across the threshold.

"well?"

"..…ha?"

The next moment, two people exclaimed in surprise in the ward.

The reason is that the step taken to cross the threshold is not a step to leave outwards, but a step to enter inwards.

Someone opened the door and walked in after they finished their discussion.

"Hmm, it seems I timed it pretty well. You guys should have finished talking and have nothing else to say."

The person who came in looked around the house and nodded, asking this question.

"Don't be surprised. I just had something I wanted to know, so I chose the most efficient way."

The girl with long platinum blonde hair and emerald green eyes calmly explained this to the two people in the room.

P.S. Good morning.

Chapter 128 Simple Communication

In the quiet room, the ticking of the second hand was clearer than ever before.

The light from the incandescent bulb fell onto the tiles, the interplay of reflection and diffuse reflection making everything in the present moment crystal clear in Fengmingyi's eyes.

The platinum blonde hair that appeared as a nightmare several times, the inorganic emerald green pupils deeply imprinted on the mind, and the voice that cannot be forgotten etched in the brain.

All of this was clearly captured by Feng Mingyi's senses, making her realize what was happening at that moment.

Her enemy, the enemy she had always been at odds with, appeared before her.

So, regardless of her previous thoughts, at this moment, in this situation, as a defender and as a sword, there is only one thing she can do.

With this thought in mind, he had no time to consider his physical condition. Just like he had always done in the face of noise, Feng Mingyi took a deep breath and instantly made a plan to deal with it.

Although I really wanted to avoid seeing them as an enemy, I couldn't bring myself to do it.

Feng Mingyi thought to himself.

The next moment, Symphogear, which had been accompanying her, responded to her will and actions, and the energy that could not yet be analyzed by scientific means began to fluctuate.

If nothing unexpected happens, just as she has always done, the armor called Ame no Habakiri will cover her body, providing her with the power to fight the enemy.

zizi

However, at the same time, the sound of electric current burning the air rang out, and then, with a feeling of electric shock, Kazami's thoughts vanished.

"Damn it, I'm in such a sorry state."

Soon, Kazami realized the reason for her current situation.

Suddenly, a black anchor appeared in the room, its steel cable extending from the white portal, its head gripping its own body tightly.

Black and red sparks danced on the pitch-black grappling hook that was gripping him; clearly, it was this grappling hook that was preventing him from activating the Ame no Habakiri.

If Kazunari Tsubasa were still in her prime, she probably wouldn't have been hit by an attack of this magnitude. However, given her severe injuries and loss of initiative, she had no chance of dodging the attack.

"Alright, let's save our energy, Miss Fengming. Do I need to emphasize again that I'm just here to learn about some things?"

After summoning the anchor to deprive the Windwing of its ability to resist, Zero reiterated her purpose, indicating that she had no hostile intentions.

"You mean, you want to get some classified information from me?"

After what Lingyi said, Fengmingyi realized this in such a simple way.

"Impossible. Even if you kill me, I will not tell you any classified information."

Then, she struggled against her tightly bound and powerless body, and with an attitude of unyielding defiance, made a gesture that was very characteristic of hers.

No matter what malice she encounters, as a sword, she would rather shatter herself than bend or kneel.

"Oh dear, this is really something."

Zero seemed somewhat helpless in the face of Kazami's performance.

“Miss Fengming, please calm down and stop imagining things that haven’t happened yet. What I want to know is not the classified information from Section Two.”

"First, if I want to learn about Section Two's intelligence, I will seek out the relevant personnel who are specifically responsible for Section Two's intelligence, rather than the seriously injured combatant who never leaves his home."

"Secondly, even if I wanted to get information from you, I would do it in a more covert way than in the current one. After all, classified information is only valuable when it is not known to others that it is already known."

"Third, even if I did make demands of you as you think, your current state as a severely wounded person, who is not even capable of fighting, would make it impossible for you to put up any effective resistance against my actions."

"Has what I've said calmed you down, Miss Fengming?"

Then, Lingyi patiently explained to the girl on the hospital bed who had shown her the claws.
