Maan, I would be toast for real had I not borrowed this.
I offered the miraculous magic item that saved my life. Unless it beca a deadly curse that took lives, it wasn't worth it.
「REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEM!」
Rem started a dash as soon as she heard my order.
I leaped from the corner of the defense and ran along with loud ringing sounds.
「Urgh!」
Once again, I strongly gripped the bottle of the 『Droplet of Life』 inside the shaking armor.
It wasn't for life; it was for curse.
「Wings that spread misfortune, fly toward that place――」
Though I had to grit my teeth due to the intense shaking, I chanted the full aria,
「――The Flapping Wings Are Love. The Wings of Bloodstained Butterfly」
So mysterious aria ca out from my own mouth.
I've never thought of this chant; it was as if my mouth was moving on its own.
「Their Purity And Innocence Are Unparalleled in Cruelty. Are They Pure Hearted, Or Wicked At Heart. Offered Love to Just One Person. Scattered Endless Death.」
No need to worry about this.
The only reason my mouth was moving with conviction was nothing more than that conviction.
「Wrapped It Up Like Affectionate Mother. Crowded Around Like Plague.」
Even soone as insensitive as , I felt a prickling sensation due to magical power from outside.
The core was already in a critical state; it would explode anyti soon.
But I also arrived in ti. Now it was the right ti for the coup de grace.
「I won't run. I won't back down.」
The 『Droplet of Life』 in my hand vanished as if lting and glowing with a bright red color.
At the sa ti, Rem's helt ca undone, and I crawled up.
First, I thrust out my right hand that was glowing with bright red light, then forcibly thrust my head into the opening of the helt as I propped myself with my left hand.
But with only my head and right hand out, I looked at the fissure before my eyes.
At the bottom of the valley, the core was shining brightly, and the magical power was so condensed that it beca mist that covered the core.
Less than 10 seconds before the explosion.
Unfortunately, the curse in my hand had already been completed.
「Let My Thought Reach You. With Love. To The Other Side――」
Yes, this was befitting of an aria of who bet my life to do this.
Thank you, Ruinhilde-sama.
With such belief in my heart, I let go of this curse.
「――『The Death Herald Fairy Butterfly』」
『The Death Herald Fairy Butterfly』：Fairy with wings of a red butterfly. Driven by love, this fairy spreads death. They killed so many that they beca the symbol of death. None can escape death whenever they appear――
A giant, crimson pillar of light rose up as if it pierced the sky.
It kept rising till it pierced the cloud as if it really wanted to pierce heaven.
The mbers of class 2-7 could only look up at that miraculous spectacle.
「K-Kotaro-kun…」
「Momokawa really did it.」
Everyone gasped as they looked up.
「――Momokawa did it. The presence of Yamata no Orochi has already gone.」
Said Ryuuichi once the pillar of light vanished.
Though not everyone could feel the presence, they instinctually knew that the tough enemy had been slain.
「W-We did it… We won.」
「W-We really, won…」
「Haah, we did it at last.」
None of them raised a cheer; they just couldn't believe that they won against a seemingly undefeated opponent.
Everyone was exhausted. Their stamina and magical power had long since reached their limits.
Everyone plopped on their spot like a puppet with its strings cut, completely exhausted physically and ntally.
「Kotaro-kun!」
「Futaba-san!」
But iko was the only one among them who tried to run toward the rocky mountain.
Because for her, Kotaro's survival was more important than winning the battle.
iko ran toward the base of the rising smoke at full speed.
「… OI!」
Then saw three shadows descending from the rocky mountain.
「T-Thank goodness… You're alive, Kotaro-kun…」
「Rather, since Alfa is safe and sound, it should be obvious that Momokawa is alive.」
Added Kyouko, who ca from behind, riding Alfa that was raising a roar.
Since Alfa was as lively as ever when the pillar of light pierced the heaven, Kotaro's safety had already been decided.
「I-CHAN, RANDOU-SA~N!」
Kotaro had also seen the duo from the other side.
He got down from Arachne's back and ran toward the duo, or rather, toward his classmates.
「YOU DID IT, MOMOKAWA!」
「Welco back, Kotaro-kun.」
iko and Kyouko had whole-faced smiles on their faces.
The other classmates were also following the duo from behind while raising a cheer upon seeing Kotaro.
Kotaro waved his hands toward everyone as he walked toward them with a rather exhausted look on his face.
「I'm ho.」
Thus, class 2-7 won the raid battle against the toughest enemy they ever faced.
