This is not the date I wanted.

Erya replied with a sullen face. As if to prove that he was not lying, Erya poked his head out of the wooden cart, picked up his silver-white pistol, aimed at the monster and fired a few shots. As expected, the opponent did not even need to dodge, and the bullets hit the air.

This is understandable. Erya is a cartoonist, not the witcher in the comics. He may not be accurate even if he stands still and shoots at a fixed target, let alone shooting at a moving target that may dodge while flying at high speed.

“Damn it, I should have added an auto-aiming setting to the pistol when I was drawing the comic!!”

Honjo Niya shouted with deep regret.

"Eiya, lend me your gun."

"Eh?"

After asking for a simple favor, Origami took away Niya's two guns, and stood up in the cold and biting wind, naked - no, it should be said that she was wearing the emperor's new clothes.

Staring expressionlessly at the alien monster that was charging at her, Tobiichi Origami raised her pistol and pulled the trigger quickly and decisively.

boom--!

With a gunshot, the silver bullet accurately pierced the vampire's head, and its huge body turned into confetti and dissipated in the air. The zombie sitting on its back also fell from a high altitude due to losing its mount, and was smashed to pieces.

Bang Bang Bang!

Without giving everyone time to marvel, Origami swung her guns again, sparks flew from the muzzles one after another, and in less than a breath, all the bullets in the gun chambers were fired by Origami. And every shot hit the target, and with every gunshot, a vampire could be seen falling from the sky.

"bullet!"

"Yes Yes!"

After hearing what Origami said, Erya suddenly woke up from his dream and quickly handed the spare magazine in his clothes to Origami.

Reload - Aim - Shoot!

Unlike Honjo Nia who shot randomly, Origami, as a former magician, was obviously very proficient in handling firearms. The whole process was seamless and smooth, like flowing water.

Just like flowers blooming on a bloody battlefield, watching the origami action makes people feel a simple and neat violent beauty.

Compared to Niya, she is more like the witcher Fatima in the comic story.

Of course, the premise is that the origami lady is not naked at this time - she just needs to be wearing the emperor's new clothes.

This was the common feeling of everyone present.

Under the cover of Origami, the number of vampire bats flying around the wooden cart was decreasing at a very impressive rate. However, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, a zombie chasing them from a distance suddenly roared, stepped on the vampire under his feet and leaped suddenly, and after crossing a distance of no less than 100 meters, he pounced towards Mengyue and the others.

"Is this okay?"

Nanashi's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Niya, when you draw comics, can't you not make the villains so difficult?"

"In order to make the story more exciting, this level must be achieved. Xiaoqi, you will understand when you become a cartoonist in the future."

“Origami!”

Without Mengyue's shouting, Origami knew what he should do. He immediately picked up the pistol and pulled the trigger. The silver bullet hit the zombie's heart.

However, the fatal injuries that would kill ordinary people would not work on dead zombies. Although silver bullets could cause damage to zombies, they obviously could not kill them with one shot like they could vampires.

"Get out of the way! Tobiichi Origami!"

Hearing this, Origami immediately moved sideways, and instead, Tohka took a step forward and faced the giant zombie that pounced on her.

"call……"

Tohka let out a light breath, which turned into white mist and dissipated in the cold wind. She grasped the samurai sword tied to her waist with her right hand.

The feeling from her hand was different from the giant sword she was used to using, but this did not affect Tohka's performance. Her original swordsmanship was of the I-ryu style without a teacher, and therefore she would not be restricted by the framework of the moves.

The moment she grasped the hilt of the knife, her keen instinct told her how to wield the weapon effectively.

Just as the zombie was about to jump onto the wooden cart, Tohka drew out her samurai sword, and the sword energy cut through the air, creating a crescent shape that cut the huge zombie in half.

Bang! Origami fired another shot without hesitation, and with a scream, a small vampire hiding behind the zombie turned into confetti.

"...I don't know how to say thank you. Tobiichi Origami."

"No need, I just want to protect Shidou. Yatogami Tohka."

"Well……"

Tohka glared at Origami, then looked away with a hint of displeasure.

Is their relationship good or bad? Kotori thought speechlessly.

However, having said that, the division of labor and cooperation between the two was quite clear. Origami was responsible for shooting down the bats that served as her mount, while Tohka was responsible for killing the zombies that broke through the barrage and approached. With the efforts of the two, Mengyue and the others finally had the opportunity to distance themselves from the army of monsters.

"Sister Mengyue, you just mentioned a character who can help us escape from this world. Where is that person now?"

Taking advantage of the opportunity to catch her breath, Kotori asked Mengyue.

"Well... this is just my guess. But he should be heading towards us now."

Qin Li seemed a little confused about Meng Yue's words.

"What do you mean?"

"Sa... Strictly speaking, he is not a character that already exists in the story. Rather, he is a character that may be summoned."

Meng Yue explained, "When this fantasy library creates stories, it will give priority to stories that are more famous in people's minds. Therefore, well-known fairy tales become the first choice. In special cases, like Erya, there is a certain "connection" with the story itself and it is realized as an exception. That character is the latter. Summoning "him" should be conditional. I was trying under relatively safe conditions. However, the current situation, in a sense, also matches the conditions I guessed."

"Bili-chan... you're not talking about that, are you?"

Everyone had a half-understanding of Mengyue's explanation, except Erya, who seemed to understand Mengyue's thoughts and had a look of surprise in his eyes.

"That Niya...what is the 'that' you're talking about?"

Nanashi asked with a confused look on his face.

"Eh? Xiao Qi, you forgot, it's 'that' that we completed together before."

"Ah... that..."

Nanashi showed a look of realization.

"Kuku - that's what's going on. 'That'? If 'that' appears, this obstacle will be nothing to worry about."

"Surprised. Is 'that' also in this world?"

"Ah - I didn't expect that 'that' would actually appear. Indeed, if it can really be summoned, it will be a very big deal, Mengyue-chan."

"Hmm... That's great..."

"Really, Honey?! Is 'that' going to show up too?"

"Indeed, if 'that' really happens, we will have a chance to break through this status quo."

"Hmm? What is everyone talking about?"

"Yatogami Tohka's memory is disappointingly poor. Did she actually forget 'that'?"

“I, I haven’t forgotten! Oh, oh – I see, you mean ‘that’.”

(——Huh? ——Huh?! What does “that” mean? Am I the only one who doesn’t understand?)

Looking at the elves who expressed their understanding, Shidou couldn't help but look confused.

"Kotori, the 'that' you're talking about——"

"Liang Yi Meng Yue! Be careful! The enemy's behavior is a little strange!"

Origami's serious voice forced everyone to stop talking. At this moment, they noticed that the monster army that was chasing them had stopped for some reason and was floating in the air without moving.

"That's... Wan Belle and Big Dido."

Erya said with narrowed eyes.

In the distance, in front of the monster army, there were two floating humanoid monsters with an obvious aura different from the other soldiers. At this time, these two behind-the-scenes villains in the Erya comics were maintaining a formation of one on the left and one on the right, posing a very classic "Turtle-style Beep--Bo" starting posture, and huge energy was constantly gathering around them.

Erya shouted hurriedly.

"Bili-chan! There are going to be two more of those huge beam cannons, be careful to dodge!"

Light cannon? Thinking of the attack that just razed a castle and a city to the ground, Meng Yue's eyes twitched constantly.

"I'll settle with you later, Niya! Kotori-chan, tell me where to dodge when the enemy is shooting!"

"learn."

Amid everyone's vigilance, the two bosses finally took action. With a roar that resounded through the sky, blood-red and dark green beams of light shot out. In just less than two seconds, they crossed the thousand-meter gap between the two and caught up with the carriage.

"Eh?"

Kotori was stunned because she found that the two light cannons did not hit their wooden cart, but passed by it from both sides.

"Missed?"

"wrong!"

Meng Yue's eyes widened in disbelief. She saw two beams of light drawing arcs in opposite directions in the air and colliding in front of her.

"boom----------------!"

Along with an earth-shaking explosion, a strong impact spread from the collision point of the two energies and swept in all directions.

The flying wooden cart of Meng Yue and others was also forced to be caught in this terrible blast and fell uncontrollably to the ground.

24 The World in the Book (Part )

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

Two huge energies collided in mid-air, and the resulting gust of wind inevitably sucked in the wooden cart driven by Meng Yue.

"Well--"

Shidao opened his eyes with difficulty, and his eyeballs that were blinded by the strong light gradually regained their vision.

At this time, the wooden cart had fallen apart under the shock wave of the explosion, and everyone was scattered.

After seeing that they had lost their means of escape, the army of monsters in the distance cried out in surprise and pounced on Shidao and the others like pigeons snatching food.

However, compared to them, Shidao now has a more serious problem to solve - landing.

Now in the imaginary world of the Fantasy Book House, Shidao and everyone else have lost the ability to fly. Now that their only flying tool has been destroyed, if they don't find a way to land safely from this nearly 1,000-meter altitude, Shidao and the others will be smashed into a pulp before the monster army behind them arrives.

"Meng Yue—grab my hand!"

Shidou called out to the brown-haired girl closest to him.

However, Mengyue did not respond to Shidao and allowed her body to fall freely.

"...Meng Yue?"

A bad premonition lingered in Shidao's heart. He knew that Liang Yi Meng Yue would not be the kind of person who would be angry with the other party because of a quarrel at this time.

Shidou carefully observed the other person's face, and as expected, the girl's eyes were tightly closed at this moment, and she was obviously unconscious in the explosion just now.

"Mengyue! Get up quickly! Mengyue!!!"

Shidou shouted with all his might, as if he was going to break his throat. However, Mengyue did not wake up as he thought.

"Damn it! Partial expansion - Ratziel (Sage of the Dawn) - Raphael (Hurricane Knight)!"

However, the angel did not appear in response to Shidou's call.

Just as Shidou had learned before, they in this world cannot use the power of spirits.

However, even so, Shidou still couldn't give up, and shouted with all his might.

——Haniel (the fake witch)!

——Methratton (Angel of Extinction)!

——Camael (Burn and destroy ghosts)!

——Sandalphon (Sandalphon)!

——Gabriel (Pojun Songstress)!

——Zadkiel (Ice Golem)!

...Ratziel

Nothing happened.

The absoluteness of the rules seemed to be mocking Shidao's ugliness, unwavering, extinguishing the last bit of hope in his heart and pushing him into bottomless despair.

"—!"
