Part 5
The capital of the Rastel Kingdom.
Douglas was in the stone cave engraved on the machine soldier’s chest.
“The charging of the lightning cannon will be completed soon, won’t it?”
He lifted the corner of his mouth as he watched the lightning barrier merge into the main cannon.
“Those little girls cost me a lot of time, but now the preparations are complete. This time I will make my power known across the continent.”
Just as Douglas was about to activate the lightning cannon, a dignified voice rang out.
“Sorry to keep you waiting, Douglas!”
“! That voice…”
He looked up to see four girls looking down at the machine soldier.
“This time we’ll crush your ambitions!”
Douglas twisted his mouth in disgust at Lexia’s loud declaration.
“Hmph, you’ve come back without learning your lesson. Don’t think you can use the same trick twice, I’ll crush you easily──”
Douglas’ gaze stopped at Selene, who had pulled her hood down over her face.
“Hmm? That person…”
Douglas’ eyebrows furrowed for a moment, but he quickly shook his head.
“…No, it’s just my imagination. Now, machine soldier, remove the obstacles!”
“Ooooooooooooo!”
The machine soldier’s hand lifted.
The thick fingers are raised to release a beam of light aimed at Lexia and the others…
“Prison!”
Luna released her strings.
Using the trees and the crumbling castle, she spread the string around the machine soldier.
“Hahahahaha! What use is such a thin string!”
As if to cut off Douglas’ sneer, Selene drew her sword.
“Can you laugh now, Fire Serpent?”
With an incantation, she swung her sword down toward the strings.
Then, red flames turned into snakes and ran along the strings.
Dozens of fire serpents ran around the machine, weaving in and out along the strings.
Douglas snorted.
“Hmph. What is this, a diversion? Don’t bother with these little tricks, get on with it, machine soldier!”
“Oooooooooooooo!”
The machine soldier raised its hand again──a beam of light from its fingertips shot through the fire serpents running in front of it.
“Wha!? What are you doing, machine soldier? Aim at those little girls!”
“Oooooooooooooo!”
As Douglas shouted, the machine soldier chased and attacked only the fire snakes that surrounded it.
“We did it! The mission was a success!”
“Oh, it’s working!”
“W-what’s happening? Why aren’t you attacking them? This machine soldier, the pinnacle of ancient technology, why can’t it shoot at those little girls…!”
Lexia pointed at the panicking Douglas.
“Too bad, Douglas! You don’t even know that the machine soldier detects heat, so you’re not qualified to be the master of the machine soldier!”
“What? You say it detects heat? It’s not written anywhere…! How do you know such a thing…?”
“Oooooooooooooooo!”
Luna and the others look up at the machine soldier, who is firing a beam in the wrong direction in pursuit of the fire serpents, and laugh fearlessly.
“If we can just seal that beam, we won’t have anything to fear.”
“Yes! Now we can fight to our hearts’ content!”
“Thanks for falling for it, Douglas!”
“Y-you bastards…!”
Douglas’ face turns red.
Lexia shouts without hesitation.
“The target is the key Douglas is holding! I’m counting on you all!”
“Yes!”
In response to Lexia’s voice, Luna and the others jump out.
And so the curtain rises on the decisive battle.
＊＊＊
“Ooooooooooooo!”
Luna ran to the machine soldier’s feet as the machine soldier shot rays of light into the darkness in pursuit of the fire serpent.
Douglas shouted in panic.
“Kuh! Enough, just twist them around!”
“Ooooooooooooooooo!”
The machine soldier swung its limbs around as it tried to catch the girls.
The terrain changed as the machine soldier stamped its feet, and the castle crumbled as it swung its arm down.
“What a destructive power! Everyone be careful!”
Lexia shouted from the shadows, and Luna involuntarily broke into a cold sweat.
“Just as I thought, what incredible power. It would have been hard to hold back with the string I’ve been using. But…”
She dodged the swinging fist and ran, dodging the falling debris.
When she reached the machine soldier’s foot, she released the string, which glowed with rainbow colors.
“Shackles!”
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
The reinforced string wrapped around one of the machine soldier’s legs.
“Hmph, I was taken by surprise last time, but don’t think this little trick will work twice! It will be shaken off in no time!”
“Oooooooooo!”
The machine soldier tries to lift its leg…
“What? I-it can’t move…?”
The legs, caught in the string, did not move.
Lexia let out a cry of joy.
“You really stopped the machine soldier! That’s amazing, Luna!”
“Ooo, oo, ooooooooooo…!”
The machine soldier tried to shake off the strings, but they were still tangled around it.
“W-what the hell is this…! A machine soldier can’t be stopped by something like strings…! Damn it, hurry up and finish off those little girls!”
“Ooooooooooooo!”
“Hahh!”
Faster than the machine soldier could move, Luna pulled the strings sharply.
The converging strings tightened around the machine soldier’s legs, making a creaking sound──.
Creak! Creak, creak, creak!
“Oooooooooooooooo!”
Woosh!
The strings peel off, and the machine soldier falls to its knees.
“Kuh…!”
“That was awesome! You’re so cool, Luna!”
Lexia jumped up and down with joy, but Luna clicked her tongue.
“Unlike the stone pillar, it didn’t quite shatter! But this will do!”
Luna looked at Tito and Selene.
“Now, Tito! Selene!”
＊＊＊
Tito walked lightly along the stretched strings.
The machine soldier was on its knees before Luna’s attack, and Luna’s voice reached her ears.
“Now, Tito! Selene!”
“Yes, Luna-san!”
Tito stepped hard on the strings and approached the machine soldier like a shooting star.
“Haaaaaaaaaaah!”
She swung her claw at the machine soldier’s right arm.
“It’s no use! This armor cannot be broken by the likes of you! Crush it, machine soldier!”
“Ooooooooooooooooo!”
Douglas shouted impatiently, and the machine soldier drew his fist wide in Tito’s direction.
Lexia, who had been watching the scene, got a little agitated.
“No, Tito! Get out of the way!”
“Ooooooooooooooo!”
BOOM!
A huge fist was hurled at Tito.
But Tito laughed fearlessly.
“It’s all right, Lexia-san! Just watch me!”
The fist was so big that it was almost impossible to see the weak spot.
“──This angle!”
“Oooooooooo!”
A moment after colliding head-on with the huge fist, she struck a point that she could see through.
“Pressure Point Claw・Extreme!”
BANG! Rumble, rumble, rumble!
A crack went through the machine soldier’s fist, and the surface peeled off in pieces.
“Oooooooooooooo!”
“W-wha…!”
“A-amazing…!”
Lexia couldn’t help but be impressed, but the attack didn’t end there.
“Not yet!”
Tito shouted, then jumped up, using the landing strings as a foothold.
“──Claw Flash・Extreme!”
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
Utilizing the recoil of the string, she ran up the machine soldier’s right arm and attacked one by one.
The machine soldier’s right arm was quickly chipped off, and finally, the arm was broken off from the elbow to the tip.
“Oooo, oooo, oo…!”
Tito landed on the ground and wiped the sweat from her brow.
“Phew. I think it’ll be a little more obedient now!”
“You did it, Tito! The training is paying off!”
“Hehehe, thank you!”
Tito blushed at Lexia’s happy look.
