boom! !

It was like a robot.

as well as--

"first meet."

A slightly tall woman approached Hatsune Miku, who was located in a distant area.

She was not injured and safely blocked the AST attack using her own abilities.

But this person is different.

Like those girls, she wore a unique mecha suit, but it was completely different.

She has long golden hair and platinum-colored armor.

"If possible, I would like to have a good talk with you about the current situation."

"Miss Hatsune Miku, who had contact with that 'Death.'"

Chapter 337 The World's Strongest Magician

It was a woman who suddenly appeared before them.

She looks to be in her early twenties, and she is also very beautiful.

But those are not things Hatsune Miku cares about.

Surrounding her were unnatural figures, like robots.

That was clearly not the posture of a normal human being.

"you…"

Please don't panic about this.

Even though all the robots around them were circling around each other like this.

But the blonde woman still said that.

“Miss Hatsune, I don’t actually have any clear hostility towards you this time.”

"I know you are very surprised by this, but please let me explain it to you in detail."

In reality, the other party may not have considered Hatsune Miku's feelings at all.

All she did was speak her own words as if narrating, completely ignoring the expression on Hatsune Miku's face.

This is precisely what makes Hatsune Miku very wary.

"...Who exactly are you...?"

"Even if you say it's DEM, you probably wouldn't understand it at all."

"...?"

As the other party said, this name left Hatsune Miku with only a puzzled expression.

The other party had anticipated all of this.

"Deus Ex Machina... In short, it's DEM. Nowadays, all the manifestation devices used around the world to fight against the spirits are produced by us and distributed to various military units."

"The elf...do you mean that girl over there?"

"Well... it seems you really don't know anything."

So the woman waved her hands.

"Eileen Mira Mathers".

"Eh?"

"Let me introduce myself. This is my name... We've already investigated you thoroughly, including the Accelerator next to you... Sir? Or Miss? It doesn't matter, it's just a simple form of address anyway."

"At the same time, I am also the strongest magician in the world."

The strongest...?

The woman's use of the name "Ellen" still did not reveal her true intentions.

No, or rather——

"We want to invite you to our company, DEM, not ask you to join us, Hatsune Miku."

"It's just that my superiors want to have a proper talk with your people. He hopes that you can agree to his requests as much as possible."

"There is absolutely no need to worry about any danger. As I have already said, we have not harbored any hostility towards you at all so far."

There's no hostility, is there?

Looking around at the robots surrounding her, Hatsune Miku became even more wary.

“…Miss Ellen, right?”

"Yes."

"What is the purpose of summoning me and another party to your place? We shouldn't know each other at all, right?"

"I think you two should both be very clear about this."

Eileen explained this point very clearly.

"Both of you possess special powers that ordinary humans do not have, and if it is these powers, you can help our company acquire more powerful equipment."

"Of course, this doesn't mean we want to completely exploit you, nor does it mean we want to treat you as tools... It's just that my superiors are thinking that if we can compromise and negotiate in the future to achieve a harmonious relationship between the two sides, that would be the situation we both want."

"In return, our company will also promote you both to high-level positions within DEM. DEM will do its best to help you with everything from establishing your foothold in the world to other issues."

For this world, the so-called DEM company is essentially a one-of-a-kind display device manufacturing company.

Companies like these can be considered to be among the world's most powerful, as they concern not only countries or regions, but the fate of all humanity.

This kind of company is something most people would never even have heard of, let alone want to join.

This is simply the most golden opportunity of a person's life.

"Miss Ellen."

Hatsune Miku did not respond.

Instead, she stared directly at the woman in front of her and asked, word by word.

"Where exactly will the display device you are developing be used?"

"Just as I just said."

Boom——

In the distance, the faint sound of explosions could be heard.

But Eileen's expression remained completely unchanged.

"It was created to kill the elves."

"...Is it something like that, with the appearance of a human girl?"

"Yes, the existence of elves is a sin, and we developed the manifestation device to eliminate them... Of course, it doesn't necessarily mean we have to kill them."

Seeing that Hatsune Miku's Eileen didn't care about anything at all, she just said that.

"Not killing them, but simply capturing the spirits alive is also a very appropriate course of action."

"There are still enormous secrets hidden within the elves. If we can obtain the answers through live experiments and dissections, it will benefit not only our company but all of humanity."

"So, just like I said, as long as you're willing to join us—"

"sorry."

Hatsune Miku clasped her hands together.

Even surrounded by so many robots, her expression remained completely unmoved.

He always maintained that same resolute expression.

"That's absolutely impossible."

"…oh?"

"Because I will not use my power for such killing, and likewise, I would never do the same!"

"That is to say."

Click.

The sound, like the chambering of a gun, came from the group of robots.

"Did our negotiations break down?"

“You should have said that you meant us no harm, Miss Eileen…”

"That is indeed what I said."

That's it.

Ellen gently raised her arm.

"However, I only mean 'so far'."

"Since the preconditions have completely collapsed, then the so-called 'up to now' is just up to now."

boom----! ! !

Platinum-gold light emanated from her entire body.

With a slight raise of the platinum-gold blade, Ellen Bytes, slowly floating in mid-air, pointed the blade at the girl in front of her.

The person was completely different from how they were a second ago.

"So."

At the same time, countless robots also began to take action.

The sharp claws snapped back, and the creature pounced directly towards the girl.

Boom! ! !

but--

A completely new aura exploded at the same moment.

What erupted from Hatsune Miku was a snowflake-like light, like an element.

"I see."

A snow-like aura spread in all directions, and the robots were all blasted away by this force.

Even the clothes they wore had changed.

Hatsune Miku's hair color changed from its original turquoise to a snow-white color, and she was also holding a rattle with a red ribbon in her hand.

A snow-like shimmering light surrounded the Snow Maiden.

"The clothing has changed, and this power is quite extraordinary... but we can't detect even the slightest bit of spiritual energy."

"It seems that what was said in the report was true."

Eileen slightly angled the blade, pointing it diagonally towards the ground.

Even a kind-hearted girl like Hatsune Miku completely understood what she was planning to do at that moment.

"...Aren't you going to hide?"

As she stepped back a few meters, Ellen spoke in a low voice.

"If you're not going to avoid me, then don't blame me for being rude."

then.

A pure, explosive sound erupted instantly on the spot.

Eileen's body flashed towards Hatsune Miku almost instantly.

Upon closer inspection, the girl wasn't making any defensive movements at all; her posture looked as if she were standing there to be hacked down.

Ellen showed absolutely no mercy.

She didn't care whether the other person was an elf or not.
