As the demon girls continue releasing the corrosive purple smoke, Ai and Yuki stopped all their moves and eventually became static, then, some weird liquid starting to oozes out from the ground around Ai and Yuki, and formed a loop with a radius of one meter. The liquid slowly filling up and getting nearer and nearer to the girls while they are still in the static state...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Waiting area.
"Hmm... Why do I have a familiar feeling about that weird liquid?" Sky asked, surprisingly not very worried.
"Well, it's a slightly weaker version of the digester in my trash can... I mean, in my 'Grave Dimension'." said Chris, kind of casual.
"Ah... I see." said Sky.
"Heh? Don't tell me they are trying to digest our girls directly just like that?" said Seito, who is also quite calm, surprisingly.
"Mhmm... What a brutal thing to show on an open tournament though... By the way, where is Flan?" Sky asked as he realized Flan is not in the waiting area.
"Uh-huh... Faster than I thought." said Chris.
"But I seriously doubt if that digester technique is even capable to kill a goddess." said Sky.
"If the goddess was immobilized or unable to get out from the digester range, it is possible for her to get killed by the digester in more or less five minutes." said Chris.
"Ah... I see... Hold on! How the heck did you know about that?" Sky asked, felt rather suspicious.
Chris did not answer his question but gives him an evil smile...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the field, the demon girls are still emitting that weird smoke, their facial expressions had turned more and more distorted and sinister as they watched Ai and Yuki who are slowly getting surrounded and trapped by the digester while unable to make any moves to save themselves.
However, what the demon girls don't know is that, instead of getting immobilized by their nerve controlling gas, the girls are actually just standing there, carefully observing their opponent's moves while making up a perfect strategy in their head that is able to defeat the demon girls with minimal moves.
After a short observation, Ai figured out some good moves, she gave Yuki a series of hidden hand signals that only they can understand. Yuki briefly nodded, both of them are ready to jump out of the ring of the digester and give the demon girls one last sudden attack that will lead them to victory. But before they were able to make any moves, the digester disappeared, and both of the demon girls started screaming in agony before exploded on their own and turned into dust. As the dust slowly faded, Flan can be seen standing at the position that is slightly away from the position where the demon girls were.
"Oh dear! Looks like we have an unexpected situation here! We will need to halt the match on field A immediately!" said the emcee cat...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the match on field A halted, the organizer had another short meeting regarding the sudden incident, they decided that Flan's team had broken a really serious rule, which is the one regarding no murder of contestants. However, the one that broke the rules are not the demon girls that tried to kill Ai and Yuki during the match but Flan who killed the demon girls to 'save' Ai and Yuki. The penalty for that is a direct kick out from the tournament with no negotiation allowed, and a permanent ban from the coming tournaments. Sky's team won by default as their opponents for this round had been kicked out.
After a short apology for his lack of consideration, Flan left the tournament stadium with the rest of his members. Watched their rear from a distance as they stepped out from the main entrance, Sky and Chris are unable to hide their true feelings anymore. With that slowly curved up lips of them, we can clearly see that, they are rather happy(?) about that.
"Haha! Seriously, I don't really expect he will do such a brutal move." said Sky.
"Indeed, I thought he will at most break the rule of 'no intervention from outside the field when the matches are ongoing' that will make him lost this round on default. But I guess this will work too." said Chris.
"Heh? Darling, Chris-chan, don't tell me all this mess on the field is on your plan?" Maria asked, rather astonished.
"Not really, we are just following the flow of it, just that we didn't tell him that Yuki and Ai will not be affected by that strong nerve control has due to their special body mechanism." said Sky.
"We all know Yuki's body had been modified by Ben while Ai was designed to resist such contamination when they made her, which means that seemly destructive attacks would not be effective to them. But too bad, that hell boy was too blunt to notice that, which is why we can just go along with it." said Chris, rather casual.
"But it's very obvious that Yuki-chan and Ai-chan will win this match, why would you still want them to get kicked out from the tournament?" Maria asked.
"Well, as we had said, that's not our initial intention, but since the outcome isn't bad for us, we just followed the flow." said Sky.
"Furthermore, I will prefer to consider this as a punishment for his recklessness to even bring two dangerous felons to this open tournament. And now with his team been kicked out, one team would certainly be omitted for the second round of this match, I am very interested to find out which team is that." said Chris, rather sarcastic.
"Me too." said Sky.
