This is not the date I wanted.

"Hmm~"

Shidou seemed to be enjoying the soft touch of Yoshino's buttocks and moaned in pleasure.

……

--boom!

Mengyue accidentally punched a hole in the ornamental rock next to her.

"Hey... 1... 1... 0... Moses, police officer? There is a high school boy molesting a girl here. His name is Gokawa Shido. Please arrest him quickly."

[…Meng Yue. Your anger level on the screen has already reached its peak.]

"Tsk. I guess I was hijacked by radio waves after all."

Hearing Lingyin's gentle voice coming from the phone, Mengyue smacked her lips in displeasure.

"Reine, if Shidou can't control himself and wants to attack Yoshino, can I come in and beat him up?"

[…Calm down, Mengyue. This is what you must do to save Shidao. ]

"I know, I know, really!"

Meng Yue also understood that what Ling Yin said was correct. Everything was proposed by Shidao, and Shidao did not force Shidao. There was nothing wrong with it. He was just envious and wanted to complain.

She scratched her hair in annoyance, then took a deep breath to calm herself down, staring at Yoshino with a look of resentment as she continued to observe.

At this time, Yoshino was sitting astride Shidou's abdomen, blushing as she applied sunscreen to Shidou, while Shidou was admiring Yoshino's delicate body with a look that was almost like that of an animal (in Mengyue's opinion).

To be honest, if possible, Mengyue really wanted to kick Shidao away and take over herself.

(Damn it...whether it's Yoshino or anyone else, why would such a nice girl like Shidao?)

In her heart, Meng Yue didn't know how many times she had raised this question that she had already known for a long time.

"Huh... never mind."

After letting out a breath of anger, Meng Yue adjusted her mentality.

"Come on, sitting astride Shidou and applying sunscreen? I should be able to do this. But the effect of repeating the same trick a second time will probably be greatly reduced... Anyway, let's write it down first - Wow?!"

At this moment, the swimming pool suddenly shook violently, as if it was attacked from the outside. The sound of explosions continued to sound from the ceiling, and cracks began to appear on the walls.

Meng Yue raised her head and through the big hole blasted in the ceiling, she saw densely packed, red-glowing electronic eyes.

"bandersnatch... That guy Alan is really fast."

Meng Yue couldn't help but clench her teeth anxiously.

"Lingyin, what's the situation? Do you need my help?"

[…There are dozens of Bandersnatch response aircraft in the sky, and Alan Mathers' response aircraft is a little further away. It doesn't matter, it's not a big problem. Send them now—]

However, the scene that suddenly appeared before their eyes made Mengyue and Lingyin speechless.

"Hey, hey! You guys are really going too far. ——Since you started it first, you should be prepared."

When everyone was in a panic, Shidou suddenly stood up, looked up at the bandersnatch in the sky, with contempt revealed in his eyes without any concealment.

Spread your legs, stand firmly, and put your hands on your waist. Shidou shouted loudly.

“Super Secret Technique—Instant! Flash! Boom! Explosion—Blast!!! ...

As he finished speaking, Shidou raised his hands to the sky.

The next moment, as if turning night into day, the exaggerated spiritual power cannon blasted the ceiling of the swimming pool into powder and destroyed the bandersnatches above.

The power of this attack is even greater than that of Gungnir (The Spear of Eternity) amplified by Kotori through Fraxinus.

"Flash Blast... huh? Really... If I could use it normally, I'd be so happy."

Looking at Gokawa Shidao who was displaying his prowess, Mengyue sighed helplessly.

In the past, when training his spiritual power, Meng Yue once half-jokingly asked Shidao if he wanted to try to turn this move into reality, but Shidao refused on the grounds that his dark history was too shameful. At that time, Shidao could not control such a large-scale spiritual power output, so he left it unfinished.

Really, if she wasn't in a runaway state, if it was used in practice in the virtual world, Meng Yue would have wanted to hold a party to celebrate.

Looking at Shidou again, Yoshino's clothes were torn by something due to the vibration just now. Yoshino seemed not to notice Shidou and untied Yoshino's laces and tried to take off her swimsuit.

(The most powerful move is coming...)

Meng Yue couldn't help but sigh.

Kotori, who was secretly watching from another corner, seemed to have misunderstood something and rushed out to stop Yoshino. But what was shocking was that Yoshino was wearing a breast-wrapped bikini under the one-piece swimsuit.

Then, as expected, when Kotori said "Yoshino is such a scary kid", Shidou's heart rate reached the target without any suspense.

Well, Mengyue was not that surprised. When she was changing into her swimsuit in the locker room, she noticed that there were two hangers left in Yoshino's closet.

(This is also very valuable for reference...ah, this is it.)

When Meng Yue picked up her phone to write down the notes, she suddenly noticed.

Just now, I took a picture of Shidou performing the flash explosion.

12 Change of scene

==============================

"——Bandersnatch...was they all wiped out?"

Standing on the high platform of the observation building outside the forest, Alan widened his eyes in disbelief.

Just now, the twenty Bandersnatch aircraft that were sent as the vanguard to attack were all destroyed in an instant by the mysterious light emitted from the Fraxinus facility.

If it was just about destroying twenty Bandersnatch drones, it wouldn't be surprising. If it was Alan himself, he would have the confidence to turn those drones into scrap metal in an instant. But the problem was that the power contained in that bombardment was so terrible that it made Alan feel a little chilled.

The saying "why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken" seems too mild here. If we have to give an example, it should be that it is as luxurious as using a mountain to crush a few ants.

Not to mention twenty, even if there were tens of thousands of drones, they would be blown into powder as long as they were within the attack range of the laser cannon.

[Wow, such a strong spiritual power value...]

The timid voice of the communicator came from the communicator attached to the CR-Uint. Alan raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little angry at the useless appearance of his subordinates.

But she soon realized that it was indeed difficult to expect everyone to be like herself, the strongest magician, and remain calm in any situation.

"...I see. It's not just an ordinary device after all."

After letting out a light breath, Alan moved his joints, looking full of fighting spirit.

Now, what Allen wears is the silver CR-Uint named after the king - "Pendragon". The strongest armor and blade tailor-made for him. Allen, wearing this combat equipment, has the confidence that he can defeat anyone.

Of course, for a small fry like Gokawa Shidou, he could be pinned to the ground without even touching him.

"........."

While thinking this, Alan couldn't help but recall that during the day, he was careless and was carried like a princess by Shido Gokawa and kissed on the forehead.

Thinking of this, Alan gritted his teeth in annoyance.

"Second unit, get ready. I will be dispatched next. Be alert to anti-aircraft bombardment."

"Yes!"

As the order was issued, the drones on standby behind Allen immediately responded. They set up their weapons and flew in an orderly manner with Allen towards the destination.

But——just then.

"...!?"

From the jungle on the ground, several ferocious cannons suddenly popped out of the mud, with their muzzles pointed at Alan in the air.

Boom boom boom boom——

Continuous artillery fire sounded, and each missile, which was the size of an adult, drew several trails of green smoke and quickly approached Allen's troops.

"Huh, what a small skill."

Allen said with disdain. Since the anti-air attack alarm had been prepared long ago, Bandersnatch and Allen had opened their random fields early, and this level of attack could not cause any harm to Allen.

However, something unexpected happened to Alan.

Most of the missiles that flew in did not hit Allen or the drones, but exploded when they reached the same altitude as them.

Then, the sky above the jungle was covered with gray-white smoke.

"Come here, hand.

Alan couldn't help but click his tongue.

It was already night, and there was no light in the forest outside the city, but the CR-Unit and bandersnatch were equipped with a nighttime sensing and recognition system, ensuring that the mission could be carried out at night.

However, special substances mixed in the smoke are interfering with the normal operation of the perception and recognition system.

"This is Alan, what's going on?"

【…】

(Are radio communications also blocked?)

Alan estimated that the range he could observe was only two meters, which was basically the same as that of a blind person.

Boom boom boom——

There were successive explosions in the fog, and after just three breaths, everything returned to calm.

Alan knew that the bandersnatch following him had all been eliminated by someone.

At the same time, she also understood that the other party's next target would be herself.

"Ridiculous. Do you think you can get rid of me like this?"

Even though he was in an unfavorable situation, Allen still showed a fearless and powerful smile.

"..."

There was no response from the fog.

"—!"

Suddenly, he pulled out the laser knife "Caledfwich" from his back, gripped the handle tightly and twisted his body suddenly. The swift blade immediately drew an arc around Alan.

With a "sizzle", the magical sword blades collided violently in the air, bursting out intense sparks.

However, the opponent did not seem to have any intention of wrestling with the other party. When he saw that his move missed, he quickly retreated and kept his distance.

"Humph, after leaving DEM, you're so weak that you have to rely on sneak attacks. You really disappoint me - Takamiya Mana."

Alan said contemptuously.

"...As expected of Eren, it's impossible for him to succeed so easily."

After hearing what Alan said, the enemy who had remained silent in the smoke suddenly responded.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and the smoke was just smoke after all, and it was soon blown away. The other person's figure suddenly appeared in Allen's sight.

The girl had long blue hair tied into a single ponytail and a beauty spot under her eye. Although she looked like a middle school student at best, the black and blue CR-Uint wrapped around her undoubtedly showed her extraordinary past.

The younger sister of Mana Takamiya and Shido Gokawa, and also the magician who was originally ranked second in DEM, second only to Alan.

"By the way, as long as I can get rid of you, I don't mind using any means. So even if I'm asked to launch a sneak attack, I have no problem doing that."

As if she was upset by Eren's words that looked down on her, Mana pouted and retorted.

"I didn't expect you to be here."

"After all, this is a very important matter for my brother. How can I just stand by and watch? I'm sorry, after I come down, things won't develop as you imagined."

Alan frowned in displeasure at Mana's provocation.

"You two siblings always make me feel unhappy. - Although it's useless to say it now, I should have killed you back then. Really, Ike's hobby is really a headache."

"…What were you talking about at that time?"

Mana frowned in confusion.

"Sa, what's the matter?"

"Hmph... Never mind. I won't let you pass through here anyway."

Seeing that Alan was trying to fool him, Mana didn't plan to continue asking questions and set up his weapon to block Alan's way.

"With you? Even if you hide in that smoke again, you will not be my opponent."

"Don't worry, I won't. After all, I can't see anything in that smoke."
