One-way traffic

In just a moment, his body detached from the tower and landed on the ground where no one could see him.

You also can't just fly around the city recklessly, as that could easily cause trouble.

However, the distance between them is not far, and it can be reached quickly even by simply walking.

Thus, Accelerator's destination is already quite clear.

Without the slightest hesitation, he strode off in that direction.

Chapter 105 Mami Tomoe's Wish

Hatsune Miku and Mami Tomoe are on their way as fast as they can.

After receiving calls from Madoka Kaname and Sayaka Miki, they knew that this incident would not be so ordinary, and that the witch's barrier would be set up near a hospital.

Imagine what would happen if a hospital full of patients were directly enveloped by a witch's barrier.

They could imagine the outcome of that scene, but neither of them dared to think about it.

This must be stopped immediately.

"So, Mami, is it still possible to make it this way in time?"

"It's okay, that hospital is very close to us, it's easy to get there."

Mami Tomoe came to this conclusion immediately after asking for the name of the hospital over the phone.

At their current speed and distance, it wouldn't even take them ten minutes to get to that hospital.

then.

—Under the ground, something like liquid surged up all around.

"Varied--?"

"How, how could it be?"

The two of them froze on the spot.

It looked just like seawater, and this seawater was seeping out from the cracks in the ground for no apparent reason.

The surrounding space also underwent a tremendous change, almost as if it had been distorted into another dimension.

Both of them knew what this phenomenon was.

"The witch's barrier..."

"At a time like this!"

Hatsune Miku said in an anxious tone that Madoka Kaname and Sayaka Miki were still near the witch's barrier, and if the witch's barrier broke out, it would directly involve everyone in the hospital.

And then, at this critical juncture, we actually encountered a witch's barrier...!

Gollum—

The sound of liquid being poured into the air could be heard.

The world around them had somehow transformed into a deep, submerged realm, and many mermaid-like familiars were wandering about.

An enormous monster appeared in the very center of this world.

Its upper body is like a seashell, while its lower body is completely buried in the ground, making it look like a combination of marine life, but in a more abstract form.

A huge vortex of water swirled around it. Although the two were in the water, they were able to breathe normally. It seemed that the water did not have a significant impact on their bodies, but only changed the appearance of the space.

Even so, they still had to defeat the witch before they could continue.

There is no other way.

"Let's do it, Hatsune Miku."

"I know."

The two looked at each other and raised an arm together.

Golden and azure light shone directly on the two girls.

As the light faded, Mami Tomoe, holding a flintlock pistol, stood in the ocean, surrounded by transparent cubes. Hatsune Miku, holding a magic wand and dressed in her outfit called Magical Miku, also appeared there.

The enemy is the witch in front of me, and there is only one requirement: a swift victory.

Boom—!! The water pressure was expanded to its limit in an instant, and the water vortex, formed by pure riot and ignoring the laws of physics, shot towards the two of them in mid-air.

However, they did nothing; they simply stood there, and some unseen force field directly distorted the water vortex's attack.

That power comes from Hatsune Miku.

"Is it... magic...?"

"I guess you could say that..."

Hatsune Miku did not offer much explanation.

This is a passive effect brought about by the Magic Future outfit. Even if she does nothing and simply stands in place, a power combining her own magic and mental strength can be condensed into a substantial interference field.

This stance itself can significantly interfere with even the wind pressure attacks of One-Way Street, let alone simple water vortexes.

She raised her hand, facing the witch directly in front of her.

"Thunder rumbles across the desolate sands, life withers away in the midst of meaningless sounds—"

"For the next thousand years, this planet of sand will be barren, devoid of any vegetation."

The sounds mingled and passed each other.

In that instant, just as the girl had sung, a radiant light, like flying sand and thunder, shone forth.

Dozens of cube-shaped projectiles, acting as a substantial impact, crashed directly into the witch in front of them, causing them to explode.

The attack speed of 180 kilometers per hour exploded instantly.

The witch in front of him only took this one blow before she started to wail in pain.

Mami Tomoe stood there, stunned, speechless.

Wow, that's amazing... such destructive power.

That outfit clearly only looked like something a songstress or idol would wear, and even her attacks relied on singing.

But how could such a massive power be generated?

"Ms. Asami! Behind you!"

Bang! A flash of light, and Mami Tomoe turned around and used her flintlock pistol to kill several mermaid familiars that were attacking her.

"Don't worry, Hatsune, I'm not in a situation where I need help from others."

"Is that so... then I can rest assured."

The idol-type girl chuckled and raised her hand again.

"If it were like a moving planet, soaring through the night sky—"

Will the message I want to convey truly shine?

The sounds intertwined and moved once again.

This time, the cube shone along with Hatsune Miku's voice, dividing into dozens, or even more, streams within the water vortex.

With a streamlined shape, the cube continued to fork, and then charged towards the witch's entire body.

Like a planet, it's a dispersed attack that breaks apart in all directions.

And the previous straightforward, powerful attacks that focused more on destructive force and speed.

Everything depends on the lyrics that Hatsune Miku sings.

Power constructed through sound and mental strength is transformed into tangible magic.

This is Magical Mirai, the perfect outfit for Hatsune Miku to unleash her power.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a combat suit.

Mami Tomoe raised her hand, and countless flintlock muskets burst forth behind her, wiping out all the remaining familiars.

The witch was basically on her last legs.

All it takes is for either of them to deliver the final blow.

but.

In that instant, the witch in front of him roared again.

Puff——!!

Under their watchful eyes, hundreds of slender shadows instantly shot out from beneath the ground.

The witch's lower body is that of an octopus.

Hatsune Miku quickly chanted the lyrics, granting herself the ability to fly and immediately evading the attacks.

A tentacle with suction cups wrapped around the girl's right leg, which was covered in white stockings, startling her.

Boom—!! Without the slightest hesitation, the beam cannon instantly destroyed the tentacles beneath her, Hatsune Miku barely even had a chance to think.

"Ugh...why, why tentacles?"

Hundreds of octopus tentacles were aimed at Hatsune Miku, who was flying through the sky like a live target.

She clenched her teeth in disgust and tried to move as much as possible, determined not to come into contact with the tentacles.

How disgusting...

Seizing the opportunity, Hatsune Miku raised her magic wand again, and the fifty cubes instantly coalesced into one.

The massive bombardment destroyed nearly a hundred tentacles in one go.

but.

"…Eh?"

She began to notice something.

From the moment I started fighting, it seemed that I was the only one left fighting.

What about the other person? Where did Mami Tomoe go?

She tried to look around, but couldn't find any trace of Mami Tomoe.

Disappeared.

"What on earth is this...?"

Hatsune Miku's face showed utter astonishment. If she wasn't here, then where had she gone?

But no matter what, the most important thing right now is to deal with the witch beneath me first.

Hatsune Miku swears that she would never want to be grabbed by those disgusting suction cup tentacles.

And...who knows what disgusting things might happen after we get caught...!

She didn't want to be forced to try something like that!

The more she thought about it, the more disgusted she felt from the bottom of her heart.

——————————————————————————————————————————

They escaped from the witch's barrier.

Mami Tomoe had no idea what she was thinking, nor did she understand why she was doing this.

Why abandon Hatsune Miku during the battle and run away instead?

Can't understand.

But in reality, the words she had heard yesterday kept echoing in her mind.

Yes, those were words from Cupid.

The white creature's brainwashing-like pronouncements about Mami Tomoe have now influenced her as well.

"...No problem."

She said subconsciously.

"Hatsune is so powerful, it wouldn't be difficult for her to defeat that witch, so... there's absolutely no problem!"

She deliberately abandoned Hatsune Miku and ran away on her own.
