Don!!

Brünnhilde slam me on the wall and confronted me on my face .

“……what is the meaning of this?”

She questioned me with a surprisingly cold voice . Pg . 359

We are in the area nearby the roller coaster where we passed by before . This is another area inside the amusement park which is hundreds of meters away from the enemy .

She hides us in the shade of the attraction building nearby . Then, she finally released me .

I’m happy to be finally released from the exasperated situation .

Then I remembered, her body actually belong to Sharo senpai . I hit my face upon realization .

“……at this rate, you will get yourself killed . That’s why, I want us to regain back our momentum . ”

With a harsh voice, I explained the reason of our withdrawal .

『——Cool your head, Raika . This is one of those moment where she is clueless to the reason of why you ask to retreat . 』

“……Tch”

After being pointed out by Bálor, I lightly hit my forehead .

The cold hand reduced the irritation that is looming in my head for a bit .

“……certainly, it would do best for us to prepare right away . ”

If Freya guesses it right, Osiris large scale operation is aimed for the entire island, and that kind of operation will require some time to prepare .

No matter how prideful and arrogant that God is, she will not take off Maria’s head; not during her preparation, and not during this battle as well .

Besides, she is too obsessed to rain her judgement towards me .

That means, if we don’t get far away, then we are likely to be followed .

That kind of thought didn’t come to my mind .

Did I get too hotheaded from trying to help Maria?

Perhaps, deep inside my sub-conscious, I wanted to save Maria right at that time and that spot .

“So, how do we save Maria?”

Brunhilde opened her mouth .

Despite our temporary withdrawal, our ultimate goal will not change .

We will fool Osiris, and in the meantime, rescue Maria .

That is the conclusion that we both have reached at the end .

“The important thing right now is how to disable Osiris . ”

Ammit is a troublesome enemy . We shouldn’t take our eyes off it .

In the end, unless we managed to something with Osiris, our hope to rescue Maria will remain close to nil .

As expected, the Evil Eye of Petrification is the key .

『——but didn’t you see, it doesn’t work against Osiris . 』

Not doesn’t work . It wasn’t just effective .

At the end, it was due to Osiris high resistance against petrification .

Unlike Zeus absolute resistance against abnormality, there is a way to do it .

In short, we just need to pass her resistance limit .

『——well, I guess . Although, there is only a single Evil Eye . My great self can boost the output, but only to certain extent . 』

Then, Bálor laugh detestably .

『——if you surrender your body to my great self, I will make sure the output rise up . 』

Don’t try to suggest such thing in the interval . Rejected .

『——then how are you going to do it . 』

Bálor asked .

Certainly, his answer holds a weight .

“……!”

When I look at the surrounding, a certain billboard caught my attention .

It is not at the same degree as roller coaster, however it is one of the common attraction found inside an amusement park .

Balor . Just now, you did mention that there is only a single Evil Eye .

『——Ah? You can see it for yourself, don’t you? 』

Then, if the number of Evil Eye increases, will the effect rise as well?

『——Wha? 』

What I mean is——

I told Bálor my plan .

After the Evil God heard it, I can feel it smiling inside my body .

『——you truly are one interesting human . 』

With that reply alone, I know it is worth trying .

What left is……

I look at my back towards Brünnhilde .

“Brünnhilde . ”

“What . ”

“You escape from this amusement park ahead of me . ”

“!? Why!?”

Brünnhilde eyes opened wide, then she grabbed my cloth .

“The reason doesn’t matter . ”

I answer calmly .

“Osiris is too strong . She is not an opponent that you can take on alone . ”

“……!”

“I’m going to trap that person after this, but I’m alone is enough for this task . Hence, there is no reason to put Sharo-senpai body at unnecessary risk . That’s why, you escape . ”

“No way……! I can be of help, too!”

Brünnhilde tighten her choke on my neck .

I’d say, this feels like I’m trying to soothe down an angry child .

“……even if I need you to help me with something temporarily, I will only ask you to help me search for Leon . ”pg . 363

“!”

A shock ran through Brünnhilde face .

Her hand lessens it grips and right now they are left hanging there .

……that was for the sake of making her give up, but I admit that what I’ve said is over the line .

And I, rub over the top of her head .

“You saved me earlier……so for once, let me say thank you . ”

“……!”

Her menacing looks instantly turns, blushed .

As if she is trying to hold something in, her body shakes and tremble .

『——that rare moment when Raika thank a God . 』

I heard Bálor teasing voice, but I ignore it .

I leave her just like that and begin taking my actions .

Again, my hand was caught by Brünnhilde hand .

“Oi……”

“Am I, a bother to you?”

“……”

“Surely, that time when we faced Freya-sama, or when Susanoo is facing against Leon, or this time with Osiris……I may actually be weaker than you . ”

Brünnhilde, she, her voice is trembling .

Most probably, that is the fact that she is unwilling to admit the most .

Given the character of this heavenly female knight, even admitting it with her mouth serve as an extreme humiliation .

However, why did she choose to admit it now, at this moment?

Brünnhilde looking scared, while hiccuping, she continues to pull my hand stronger .

……is she crying?

That’s what I felt, but I cannot say it .

Then, she continues to speak .

“Even so! I still want to be useful to you!”

Her screams resonate within this deafening area .

Her crying voice strike deeply into my ears .

“At that time, I……! I choose you, instead of Freya-sama! Can’t you find a spot in yourself, to depend on me at all!?”

At that time .

That night, when I face against Freya at the schoolyard .

When I tear apart the Palace of the Dead, Fólkvangr, when we are trying to escape from Freya, at that time Brünnhilde really did said .

——right now, my master is not you(Freya) .

Then,

“……I am not as cute as Charlotte . ”

“Wha?”

Why are you suddenly mentioning Charlotte-senpai name?

In spite of my dubious face, Brünnhilde keep on talking .

“You decided to see after Charlotte with that thought alone . At first, I thought it was stupid, but now I realized its weight . Even if I give it my best……it is impossible . ”

That, is impossible . Simply saying, I felt it contained complex emotions that were not simple .

Brünnhilde wipes her eyes, then she lifted up her face .

Her red, swollen eyes are staring right into mine .

“With that said, please at least let me serve you as your sword!”

“……*thud*!”

For some reason, her words strike deep inside me .

So that is what happening .

The reason why she is so strangely fixated on fighting against Susanoo alone .

『——so she is finally admitting your true strength . Uhihihi, what an idiotic woman . 』

Bálor laughed .

I wonder who is laughable right now .

I don’t want to know .

More importantly .

“……”

In response to Brünnhilde words, I don’t know what to do .

If it is someone else——Maria, for example——I might accept those words without much thought .

But, this person is, a God .

The thing that I hated the most in this world .

The thing that I will never not hate .

The thing that I will never forgive .

It is my wish to eradicate all Gods .

Nevertheless, why……why are you giving me that look .

I .

What should I do .

This conflicted feeling swirled ugly in my chest .

However, before I can give an answer .

“Hey, where are you?”

Osiris’s voice resonates inside the area where we currently are .

“Gushyuururururu”

We can already hear Ammit ripe voice .

“It is useless to hide . My Ammit has a strong sense of smell . Especially when detecting the bad stench that a sinner release . ”

“……”

Obviously, I would not respond to such call .

Instead, I pulled a small mirror out of my pocket .

By using the reflection in the mirror, I check Osiris current position from within the building shade .

There .

You are there, huh .

“Maria……!”

That person, she is letting Ammit holding Maria’s arm in its mouth .

“A……u……”

Maria’s voice can be heard faintly .

Her forehead is sweating, and her uniform is soiled with her dripping bloods .

She is in such state, yet you are still dragging her here……!

“!”

Brünnhilde also saw Maria’s appearance from the mirror reflection . Her expressions turn steep .

There is no falsehood in her expression full of anger .

Again, my heart is disturbed .

But, the enemy won’t wait for us .

“No response . I’m tired of playing tag . This is taking too much time, I’m no longer amused . ”

Osiris sighed, then she sends a signal to Ammit .

Ammit released Maria’s arm at once .

“Guh!”

Then it holds down Maria’s chest with its forelimb .

After making sure that it is impossible for her to move, it opened its large mouth over her head .

“Foolish people who rebel against me . Quickly presents yourself before one’s eyes and receive your judgments . ”

Osiris openly declares .

I don’t have time to feel lost anymore .

“Brünnhilde, listen . ”

I briefly told her my plan .

Then, I left her with a role .

Originally, I planned to trap her by making myself as a decoy .

However, the decoy plan strictly depend on “The enemy willing to chase until the end” presumption as the anchor of the strategy .

Osiris is already tired of chasing us and right now she is using Maria as a hostage .

If I continue to escape any further, she will kill Maria without a moment hesitation .

That’s mean, I cannot use myself as a decoy anymore .

In this case, I need to force her to move into the trap location .

At the same time, rescue Maria……!

It’s difficult to achieve everything .

But, there is no choice but to do it .

I must do it .

For that sake……I must borrow Brünnhilde strength .

I will have to arrange the complex emotions boiling inside my heart another time .

“We will jump out at the same time . ”

I folded my fingers and start the counting .

Three……

Two……

One……

Zero……

“!”

Me and Brünnhilde jump out from inside the shade of the building .

I immediately release a suppression shot to restraint Osiris .

Meanwhile, Brünnhilde brandish her big sword and close her distance with the enemy .

“! So, you are still going to annoy me!”

Osiris is finally fed up from our never-ending resistance .

“Ammit!”

Osiris send a signal to her underling monster .

Can Brünnhilde make it before its fang reaches Maria!?

The timing is too severe .

But both me, and Brünnhilde, is desperate to reach her .

This is different from that time we are fighting against Susanoo .

Me, as well Brünnhilde .

For the sake of rescuing Maria .

In that respect, our aim is overlapping each other .

However……

It did not come true .

*Gushuri*

The sound of meat ripping .

Blood splashes and fluttering away .

The dark blood dyes the amusement park tonight .

The smell of bloods drifted around .

Ammit was struck by an arrow to its brain . Then, it dropped onto the ground, defeated .

“Wha?”

For the first time, Osiris voice stuck at her throat .

“……!?”

I——not to mention Brünnhilde——didn’t know what is happening at that moment .

But based on the origin of the arrow, both me and Bálor get to know what is happening .

Tenka……!?

『——isn’t that belong to the head of the Greek mythology!? 』

A secret alliance that was forcibly tied with my sister as the hostage .

There has been no contact ever since that time, but perhaps the Greek God has been watching over us all this time .

Then, it chooses this exact timing to interrupt .

As if saying that once they are thorough with me, they will have me die on the spot .

But it doesn’t matter right now .

One thing for sure .

That Maria is safe, and that troublesome Ammit is finally dead .

“Brünnhilde!”

With my voice, I pushed her back .

The female knight who got dumbfounded due to the sudden change of situation was snap out of it and remember her role after hearing my voice .

“Come out, Grani!”

In response to Brünnhilde calls, a flying horse was summoned .

She quickly gets onto Grani and kicked it .

Just like its lord wishes, it starts to fly high on the sky .

It goes to top speed at no time .

Brünnhilde is riding on the flying horse on the air .

She is charging toward Osiris without a moment hesitation .

“What!?”

Osiris hand is tied while she is still shocked .

She set a magic barrier at her front .

“Gooooo!!”

Brünnhilde thrust forwards without hesitation .

The sacred horse charge it heads first, pushing back Osiris barrier .

“Nu!?”

Osiris small body was sent flying . Her feet no longer on the ground .

Just like that, Brünnhilde crashed into Osiris towards the attraction building .
