This is not the date I wanted.

Shidou felt something strange while trying to appease the dissatisfied Mana. According to Miku's original personality, between Mengyue and Shidou, Miku should have chosen the former without hesitation, but at this moment, she chose to go with Shidou.

Rather than accepting Shidou, it seems more like... avoiding Mengyue.

"Shidou. Don't be distracted."

Meng Yue's call woke Shidao up from his thoughts.

"Ah, sorry!"

"Really..." Perhaps because she felt that Shidao was still a little nervous, Mengyue sighed helplessly. After a brief thought, she held Shidao's cheek with her hand and slowly moved her face closer.

"La La La, Miss Meng Yue is unexpectedly a bold person. People will look at you differently."

"Oh my, is this the so-called encouragement of love between lovers? Meng Yue-chan is really good at it~"

"So... bold... to say that..." "Well... you actually carried out this forbidden contract in front of everyone. You really have a strong heart, my compatriot..."

"Point out that I stuttered when I spoke, Yakushi."

"Shut up! I-I didn't move at all!"

"Oh, you are really good at this! Sister Mengyue."

"...Humph! How unclean."

Shidao couldn't help but feel embarrassed by the shy comments coming from the people around him. However, Meng Yue didn't seem to care and approached him.

By the way, could you please stop watching the show and come over and stop Mengyue?

"Eh? Wait... Meng Yue! No matter what, this kind of thing is too late now..."

"Shut up and don't move!"

The great power of the elf ignored Shidao's struggle, with an aura that no more words were needed, Meng Yue's delicate face kept getting bigger in Shidao's eyes, he felt a gentle breath passing over his cheek, his heartbeat couldn't be controlled. Finally, Shidao closed his eyes in panic.

Then, I felt a tingling sensation on my forehead, like a slight electric shock.

"Yes, as expected... We have communicated. Sage of the Dawn, activate that part of the spiritual power, and then grant some authority..."

I heard a voice talking to itself in my ears, and when I opened my eyes, Meng Yue let go of me and stood aside.

"Question. Just a forehead touch?"

"Well, it's something like a talisman." Meng Yue shrugged and said as if it was a matter of course.

"Eh? That's all."

Yakushi said with some disappointment.

"What else did you think?"

"Forehead……"

Seeing Meng Yue's puzzled look, Ye Jushi turned away with a guilty look.

"Well... I thought Mengyue-chan was planning on giving Shidao-kun a hot k-uuuuuu!"

Before Shionai could finish her words, she was covered in the mouth by Shionai with a blushing face...even though her vocal organs were not there.

Although Mengyue was a little confused, it was obviously not something she could get hung up on. After her guess had just been successfully tried, Mengyue was now fully prepared.

"Well then, Kurumi."

"Hehe, I understand~ Come out! Let'~"

As Kuang San's laughter rang out, countless "Kuang San" slowly appeared in the darkness.

"Ah... there are so many enemies~"

"Well, it doesn't matter what."

"Come on! Come on! We're going to have a big fight today!"

With terrifying smiles on their faces, the "Kuang San"s and the DEM drones collided head-on.

Then at this moment, this place truly became a battlefield.

"Then get ready to go, Brother-sama."

Seeing the enemy on the opposite side in chaos due to Kurumi's harassment, Mana confirmed the entrance, held Shidou and Miku's hands, and nodded to Kurumi and Mengyue.

"Well, let me give you a last walk, Mr. Shidao~'zaphkiel' (Emperor of Moments)——'Aleph' (One Bullet)."

Then, Kurumi herself fired a time-accelerating bullet at Mana.

"Shidou..."

At the moment before he instantly rushed forward, Shidou saw Mengyue's mouth move slightly, as if he said something.

——Please.

"Yes, I understand..."

Feeling Meng Yue's wish, Shidao nodded heavily.

Whether it's Miku or Tohka, I must save them!

So let's begin - this war of mine (dating).

09 The Second Angel Who Fulfills Prayers

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

“—Aaaaaaaaaaaa!”

“—Aaaaaaaaaaaah!”

With shouts of panic, Miku and Shidou made a quick dash from mid-air, broke through the wall and entered the building, then landed on the ground in a very embarrassed manner.

"I say, who on earth was that crazy woman just now? She was driving a mecha that looked super dangerous, and she attacked us without saying a word!"

While brushing off the dust on her body, Miku's cute face was full of dissatisfaction.

"Yeah, if it wasn't for Zhenna sending us here, we might be doomed."

Shidou also said with a lingering fear.

Just now, with the help of Kurumi's bullets, he broke through the encirclement of the mechanical army and magicians such as DEM, and before he could catch his breath, he was almost hit by a powerful artillery fire. If it weren't for Shinna's timely reaction and the deployment of the random field to absorb the impact, he and Miku would have been injured before they even achieved their goal.

"Really? Why didn't she listen to me? That red-haired woman...it's incomprehensible!"

"Well...Kotori said that her brain seemed to have been subjected to some extreme magical treatment, and she no longer has any basic rationality to make judgments. Don't worry about it."

Shidou smiled bitterly and comforted Miku who looked very depressed.

When facing the woman named Jessica, Miku once tried to control her with her voice, but all she got in return was a sentence of "Too noisy" and a homing missile. At that time, she looked a little crazy, and she just kept saying "Mana! Mana!", and at the same time, she kept using the same "Scarlet Licorice" as the "White Licorice" that Shidou saw on Origami, and attacked Mana crazily.

Rather than being an enemy, it would be more accurate to say that he simply hates Mana.

Mana also had a complicated expression on her face at that time.

(I’m sorry, Brother, I can’t accompany you to save Tohka. This guy’s target is me, you guys should go first. Besides… she and I were colleagues after all, so I have to free her myself.)

Then, he and Miku were thrown in directly by Mana using the random field.

"Well, that's right. It's hard for a mentally ill person to understand the beauty of my singing."

Mijiu's complexion seemed to have improved a little, but after noticing who she was talking to, her face immediately darkened and she shouted in rejection.

"Shut up! Who told you to talk to me? Please don't pollute the air with your exhaled breath, okay? I'm almost vomiting. Please use a soldering iron to paste your mouth and nose together immediately and never talk again."

"Well, I think you seem a little uneasy..."

"Shut up, shut up, shut up! Who needs your comfort anymore!"

"..."

Seeing that Miku was not going to give in, Shidou let out a sigh of resignation and shouted into the headset.

"Hey, hey! Can Kotori hear me?"

"...Sir...you...are...in danger..."

The sound from the other end of the headset was unclear due to too much noise. It seemed that just as Mengyue said, the building was covered by very powerful interference radio waves.

Mana should be fine with Kotori's protection, and it seems that the lure operation by Kurumi and Mengyue was quite successful. Most of the troops have been attracted outside, and no guards have been seen yet.

"It seems we have no choice but to move forward. Let's go, Miku!"

"Hey! Why do I have to listen to you and act accordingly?"

Miku yelled in dissatisfaction. But Shidou ignored her and walked straight ahead. Miku gritted her teeth and quickly followed him.

Fourth floor, fifth floor, sixth floor. Considering the risk of the elevator being stopped by someone else, Shidao could only climb up step by step from the safety passage. Unconsciously, Shidao felt tired, and his mouth kept opening and breathing.

"Really... it's tiring to walk just this short distance. Humans are really useless!"

Miku, who has an elf physique, seems to be more at ease than Shidou and said with a mocking look on her face.

"..."

Shidou glanced at Miku, as if he wanted to say something. After seeming to notice something, he frowned, pulled the struggling Miku, and hid against the wall without saying a word.

"Hey! What are you doing? Let go!"

"Hush! Someone's coming."

There were two people, a man and a woman, in the corridor. They were not ordinary staff or researchers, and both were wearing striped clothes that I had never seen before.

Because they were inside the building, the two men were armed with only light pistols and small laser knives - but there was no doubt that they were magicians.

Although they wanted to avoid fighting if possible, they were currently guarding the only way to the top floor.

There are only two people on the other side...it should be fine.

"Ha~Hu!" After taking a few deep breaths, Shidao closed his eyes and muttered to himself.

Please... lend me your strength to save your master.

He prayed silently in his heart, just like a stone thrown into the water, a wave of waves rippled in Shidao's sea of ​​consciousness. With the cry in his heart, the wish began to change from invisible to tangible...

Without waiting for the two nameless magi to be alert, Shidou quickly rushed in front of them, and the next moment, their vision was occupied by a pure white blade of light.

The blade of light easily broke through the magician's random field and with a huge impact, it caused them to crash into the wall and lose consciousness.

"Successfully..."

Although he successfully summoned the angel, in reality, for an ordinary high school boy like Shidao, facing a magician with rich combat experience, it would be difficult for him to win without relying on a surprise attack.

Shidao clenched the "Aoshagong" with trembling fingers and said with some fear.

The huge sword body and the transparent blade emitting colorful fluorescence are none other than Tohka's angel - Aosa-Kou.

In fact, even if you give Shidao a gun and tell him to "use this to kill the enemy", Shidao can use it as a blunt weapon, and if he is not careful, he may even accidentally injure himself and die.

However, this is the only sword that can be wielded as Shidou wishes.

and also……

Suddenly, a heart-wrenching pain came from Shidao's abdomen.

The magic bullet raged mercilessly, digging a fist-sized hole in Shidao's abdomen.

"Don't move!"

"Hey! The other party is a student! Can you shoot without permission?"

"Student? Wake up! You've seen the two people unconscious in the corner. If today's high school students were this good, I wouldn't have stopped being a magician and gone to repeat high school."

Oops...there are two more people.

Shidou knelt on the ground with his hands on his stomach and thought to himself that something was wrong. He didn't expect that when he dealt with the magicians and was about to evacuate, there were still two magicians patrolling in the passage behind them.

As if they sensed the danger posed by Shidou, the two men raised their pistols and fired magical bullets at Shidou without even thinking of suppressing him.

——Ahhhhhh!

At the same time, a sound with mass passed over Shidou's head, and the bullet was deflected by the invisible wall of sound and hit the magus. The magus made a panicked sound and then there was no more movement.

"Thanks...you're so helpful Miku."

Shidou gritted his teeth and said in a cold sweat.

"Hmph, don't get me wrong, your breath is disgusting enough. If you leave behind the stench of a corpse, it would simply be an insult to my beautiful world."

Miku turned her head away and replied with her usual vicious tone. But only this time, Shidou felt that Miku's sharp tongue was actually quite cute.
