Chapter 117 To you

 

In the pitch-dark void, I floated gently. I couldn't discern right from left, front from back—nothing was clear. I didn't even know what I was doing.

—...TO!

Kyrie-san, a very precious person. In that pitch-dark world with nothing, I felt like I heard that person's voice.

—...I, ...yes—...!

...I made a mistake; it wasn't my imagination. I heard that person's voice. I also remembered that I needed to return to that person. However, something in my mind was getting in the way between Kyrie-san and me.

Kyrie-san taught me a way to remove it. If I collide a powerful magical power with it, it should disappear.

...HA—Need more—...!

Yes, I needed her too. I couldn't be without Kyrie-san. So now, I will return to you.

My power was meager, so I had to gather all the strength I had from my entire body and collide with it. Gathering from the depths of my body, and yet, it felt insufficient, so even more, from the deepest depths.

-Click.

In the deepest depths of my heart, a sound like a key being released echoed.

"Then, surprisingly even to myself, an incredible amount of magical power began to overflow. Simultaneously, a slight headache hit my head,

-Dianke dianke

A strange voice seemed to echo. However, both the pain and the voice disappeared in an instant. The remaining doubts and confusion were also swept away.

—Beato!!!

Compared to that person's voice calling me, any lingering questions or perplexities seemed trivial. In my earnest desire to meet Kyrie-san, I directed all the gathered magical power toward the haze in my mind. In a burst, the dark world brightened...

"...!"

When I realized it, I was above the sky. More precisely, on the back of the Chimera. I leaned out from there and looked down.

"...!"

There she was, Kyrie-san. It seemed she had followed me up to such a high place. I was very happy about it, but it seemed she couldn't reach me. She was slowly slowing down and looked like she was going to fall off soon.

So, I...

"...!"

Facing Kyrie-san, I jumped down from the back of the Chimera. It's not scary, you know?

She will surely catch me, so...

 

○○○

 

Beato jumped down from the Chimera's back. She tightly closed her eyes and, for some reason, puffed up her cheeks. She wasn't going for a dive.

There's no doubt about the richness of that expression; she successfully resisted the 【Domination】 on her own.

"Unbelievable... Haa, whatever... Hey, hurry up and catch her..."

Following Rugolf's command, the Chimera descended straight toward Beato.

"Do not touch Beato any further!"

The Homing Magma Bullets are still alive. I summoned magma along the trajectory straight into Beato.

"Gyaaah!"

"Tch, damn it."

Matching the high-speed charge, I smashed it into its face. As it opened its mouth after being burned by the magma, I sent more magma into its body. It would crash after having its internal organs directly burned, but I didn't care about the Chimera anymore. Beato was more important.

"Beato!!"

"…!"

Beato, who tightly closed her eyes, lifted her eyelids at the sound of my voice, reflecting me in her sparkling blue eyes. She spread her arms wide, jumped into my chest, and with that momentum, we spiraled down.

"Beato, are you back to normal? Not being controlled anymore?"

"......, ..."

Nodding silently, she then tightly embraced me. I also wrapped my arms around Beato's waist, holding her tightly, determined not to let go.

"I'm glad, Beato. I thought they'd take you away... I thought I might never see you again... Really, I'm glad..."

"......"

As we hugged, spinning around and around. All the fatigue and body pain from before were blown away just by holding Beato. No, maybe Beato was healing me. My body was glowing, and the bruises from Mel-chan's Rock Rush were disappearing.

The tremendous magical power that Beato released earlier is intriguing, but right now, we're still in the middle of the battle. Besides, we're about to reach the ground, the courtyard. There's time for thinking and questions later. First, we need to land safely and take care of that guy!

"Get ready for the impact, hold on to me firmly. And be careful not to bite your tongue."

"......!"

From the hugging position, we changed to a princess-carry posture. I manipulated the magma in the belly of the chimera that was falling together with us and moved it below us. We need to use it as a cushion to reduce the impact of the fall; otherwise, our legs might shatter.

-DogoOOOOOOOO...!

The Chimera's massive body fell into the courtyard, and sand smoke billowed up. The condition of the corpse was terrible, with bones and various things flying out due to the impact of the fall. However, we landed safely on top of it.

My legs, reinforced with renki, were a bit sore, but Beato quickly cast a Heal, making the discomfort disappear. She did not say anything and also did not show any signs of being in pain.

"Thank you, Beato."

"..."

After expressing my gratitude, she smiled warmly. We jumped down from the dead Chimera and approached Mel-chan, who was slumped against the wall, glaring at Rugolf.

"That's impossible... What the hell is she? With that magical power, she was able to break free from my Gift..."

That piece of garbage was muttering with a shocked face. Well, as long as he didn't come attacking, it's convenient.

"Onee-san, you're still being too reckless."

"Mel-chan, you were quite reckless too. You could have been killed in an instant."

"Ehehe... Kyrie-onee-san and I might be similar after all... *cough*!"

"......!"

Seeing Mel-chan coughing, Beato hurriedly jumped down from me and quickly began casting Heal.

"Stay there, both of you. I'll go finish him off."

"......"

"I'll support you too!"

"Yeah, thanks."

She wanted to settle the score with Frejenta. I understand that feeling. But...

"But, Mel-chan, I have a favor to ask when the time comes."

The unbelievable power that he occasionally showed in the previous skirmishes. Surely, Rugolf is stronger than any enemy we've faced so far. I didn't want to deny Mel-chan's feelings, but I didn't think there was a chance for her to break through. Leaving the two behind, I approached Rugolf, who was still muttering.

Was Beato's power that shocking to him?

"In other words, the total magical power of that woman is greater than mine...? That can't be possible, right?"

"Hey, you piece of garbage. What are you muttering about? Praying to God or something?"

"Ahh!? Cut it out! Right now, I'm deep in thought, can't you see!?"

"I don't understand, and I don't care. More importantly, I'm really angry, you know?"

I released Sturdy Body and activated Renki: Moon Shadow Feet. In an instant, I closed the distance to Rugolf and swept my swordbreaker horizontally. It was a surprise attack at full speed, but he easily dodged it with a backflip. This guy, acting all sluggish but still strong. However, it didn't matter. Regardless of his strength, I would not let him live after trying to take Beato from me.
