"Is that the parking lot right below..."

After the "falling iron" incident, Wei Li fell into the crack and directly fell into the underground parking lot, and was then crushed by the collapsed pillars and rubble.

I don't know whether to say I'm lucky or unlucky...

"correct!"

Suddenly, Mirai remembered something important and looked around, trying to find other people:

"Ziyin—Lord Guardian Beast—Old Lady—Where are you!"

Anxious voices echoed in the parking lot, and the sound waves gradually faded away along the dark road.

"Can anyone hear me?!"

Mirai didn't give up and kept trying to call out other people's names, praying that they would be okay.

For someone like her, being pinned down and unable to move was already very lucky. If she was buried under the mud or pierced by broken steel bars, she would be completely finished.

"The old lady's legs are still injured..."

Mirai gritted his teeth, used his only moving right hand to support the ground, and tried his best to crawl out of the rubble.

「Click」

Suddenly, a strange sound came from my ears.

It was the sound of some kind of metal colliding, coming from the iron door of the battleship in front of them, the "Falling Iron".

An unknown sense of fear instantly eroded Future's heart.

Impossible...

It's impossible that there are people inside these war weapons falling from the sky.

but...

As the hatch's wheel handle began to turn, the noise of metal rubbing against metal grew louder and louder, and the idea that was considered impossible was overturned.

"Burp."

The door was opened.

Heavy and cold footsteps, like raindrops, walked out of the hull.

"Ha... (gasps)"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Wei Li took a deep breath and his pupils trembled as if there was an earthquake.

impossible...

This is impossible...

How could this happen...

But, this is the truth.

She recognized the "thing" that walked out of the hatch and had even seen it several times.

The whole body was wrapped in a pitch-black cloth, the gun in his hand reflected a metallic luster, and his emotionless pupils began to scan the surroundings.

This is...

Mechanical soldier.

Looking at the densely packed robots walking out of the cabin, Future's brain seemed to be in a state of extreme confusion, as if it had been in a car accident.

why...

Why are they...

Aren't these mechanical soldiers the Demon King's minions? Why did they emerge from human warships?

The truth was too shocking for her brain to process.

“Beep—”

At this moment, a robot resembling an officer pressed the mechanical device beside its ear and said in an electronic voice:

"Reporting to the Human United Town, Project Meteorite has been successfully implemented. The 38th impact point is accurate, the teleportation magic has been successfully activated, and Unit 128 has safely arrived at the mission location. We will begin executing the next order. We will...

Kill all demons that try to escape."

...

"Human...United Government?"

Mirai felt his heart stop beating and blood flowing backwards in his body.

Suddenly, she remembered some details...

Before, every time they approached the area where the iron fell, they would find many mechanical soldiers.

She once thought that they were the Demon King's army, coming to study the technology left behind by humans in the war, but the reality was exactly the opposite...

These mechanical soldiers are weapons that came out of falling iron.

These are...

Humanity's...killing weapon?

"Crack——"

A cold mechanical sound.

The robot serving as an officer seemed to notice something, turned its head to look at the ruins not far away, its pupils emitting a cold red light, and began patrolling this side.

"Oops!"

Before Wei Lie could recover from the shock, he realized that the other party was approaching him step by step, and fear instantly spread throughout his body.

At this moment, her body was unable to move at all. She was like a lamb to be slaughtered, waiting for the butcher's knife to fall.

what to do...

If this continues, you will be...

"Don't make a sound."

Suddenly, a familiar voice came to my ears.

A hand as rough as sandpaper covered her mouth, preventing her from making any sound.

Mirai recognized the owner of this voice. After arriving in the demon world, they spent a long time together...

"old lady..."

She slowly turned her head, and what came into view was the profile of an old and decrepit figure.

For some reason, the old orc at this moment made her feel a little strange, with a determined light flashing in his eyes:

"They are here to kill the demons, so they won't attack you."

The old orc's words once again shocked the future.

Demons....

you....

Could it be that....

"Ok?"

The old orc seemed to notice the shock in the future, and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said:

"Do you really think I have Alzheimer's? From the very beginning, I knew you were not my granddaughters, not even from the demon clan."

"Then, why..."

The future really couldn't understand why the old orcs took the risk to take them in even though they knew they were humans.

Magical girls are enemies of the demons.

"possible...."

Faced with this question, the old orc's eyes dimmed a little, and he sighed silently:

"Maybe it's because you're really a lot like them, young and impulsive, doing things without considering the consequences, and in the end..."

As if recalling something bad, a trace of sadness appeared in the old orc's eyes.

"Are they... the old lady's granddaughters?"

It was then that the future remembered that after spending so much time with the old beastman, he had never heard from the two granddaughters, not even a phone call. In other words...

They may have passed away long ago.

"There's nothing we can do. Young people these days are just like that. They won't listen to us old folks."

swish swish...

The sound of fabric fibers rubbing against each other.

The old orc shook his head and moved to stand up, but at this moment, the future discovered...

Blood was constantly gushing out of the old orc's bandaged leg, completely staining the bandage red, and the bright red blood was smeared on the ground.

"Your wound..!"

I will be very panicked in the future. This amount of bleeding is too serious for the elderly.

"Nothing, don't worry..."

The old orc looked down at the bloodstains on the ground, then showed a relieved smile and waved his hand, indicating that he should not worry about the future.

But how can we not worry about the future?

"If you keep going like this, you will..."

"Hey, do you remember this?"

Suddenly, the old orc took out an iron box from his arms and stopped her from speaking any further.

"...ah!"

Looking at the iron box in front of her, she recalled her first meeting with the old orc.

At that time, the old orc was in critical condition. She thought it was a medicine box and was about to open it, but was strongly stopped.

She still remembered the scene where the old orc, who was so weak that he was about to stop breathing, guarded the iron box tightly and refused to let anyone open it.

Now, the old orc opened the iron box in front of her.

「Gu」

The tin box originally used to hold biscuits was opened.

The contents inside caused Mirai's pupils to shrink violently, and he felt extremely shocked.

That is...

gun.

A gun wrapped in a towel.

"Originally, I was planning to end it all that day, but... I met you guys and managed to live a few more months."

The old orc looked at the gun in his hand and said calmly.

She was in that house because...

suicide...?

"clatter--"

The mechanical soldiers were getting closer and closer, and the cold footsteps were like the countdown of death, about to take their lives.

"An old thing like me has lived enough. I shouldn't have continued living..."

The old orc gripped the gun, stood up tremblingly, faced the direction of the mechanical soldier, and slowly raised his hand.

"W-What are you going to do?!"

Mirai had a bad feeling and wanted to reach out to stop the other person, but he couldn't reach him.

"Nothing, just...going to where I should have been a long time ago."

The old orc's tone remained unchanged, as if he had become indifferent to life and death. His sturdy back bent slightly, and he aimed his gun at the mechanical soldier not far away.
