The elevator door opened, and the first thing that jumped into Akira and Toya's sight was a bloody figure of Toya lying on Junko's knees.
"Ten nights!"
Without even checking Rin's appearance, Akira changed her expression and ran towards them. On the other hand, Makoto slowly exits the elevator while staring at Rin and her.
"No way... Toya died..."
"I stopped my heart and put my whole body, including my brain, in a state of suspended animation.
After saying that to the shocked Akira, Junko turned to face Makoto.
"Shin-kun, it seems that Rin-chan wants a duel.
Even without reacting to Junko's words, Makoto had already accepted Rin's murderous intent and was ready to respond.
"Why is Rin trying to kill herself?" I don't care if she's someone's motive, whether it's someone's request, whether it's a grudge, or whether she just wants to fight. The other party is already thinking about it. For truth, that is enough.
"Are you going to challenge me with a gun? If you have the ability to surpass my power, I think you shouldn't hold back."
Rin, who already has a gun in each of her hands, has a truly fearless smile on her face.
She looks like a small boy, but the strong intimidating feeling emitted from her small body invites Rin to her unprecedented pleasure. Rin has been waiting for her every day, and she is the best partner to kill each other.
"It's not your power, it's the sorcerer's power that's been implanted in your head. While clinging to a power you didn't hone yourself, you pitiful mouse who thinks it's his own power."
She's still lacking in intonation, but she's clearly a condescending true talker.
"It's not like I'm clinging to you. It's just an aid, and you're not Junko Yukioka's pet dog."
It was Rin who provoked her back without breaking her smile,
"I hate you mice. I can't get along with those silly guys who use their power to satisfy their desires and be satisfied.
The smile disappeared from Rin's face upon hearing Makoto's words.
"You can tell me. There are wishes that are not usually fulfilled, and it's not nice to have them granted. Why do you serve Junko Yukioka while thinking about such things?"
"It's because of this way of thinking. His many evil deeds are extremely unpleasant to me. When I don't like it, I defy him as much as possible. You can call me a domestic dog if you want, but he's not a loyal dog. He bites his master's hand." is a dog that likes
"So"
With her annoyed look on her face, Rin pulls her trigger twice while keeping her muzzle down.
Shin takes a step back to avoid the bullets that appear from above her head. She then turned her body around on one of her legs and dodged a second shot fired diagonally from behind her, but the second shot was her true left arm bulletproof fiber. and gouged out the meat. It's heavy enough to be called a scratch, but it's not something that can be called serious damage.
Makoto was able to read the trajectory and timing of bullets that flew across space without even looking at them. There have been several people in the past who Rin has used her spatial manipulation to dodge gunfire. If you are a skilled person, even an attack from an invisible space will react to even a faint murderous intent.
But Rin couldn't help but marvel at her reaction speed as she transitioned into true evasion.
After spinning her body, Makoto points her two guns at Rin and fires three shots in quick succession.
The first and second shots are aimed at her left and right respectively. If Rin moves sideways, she can be hit.
Rin sees that her third shot is her favorite, and with only her third shot in mind, he appeals to Machida, who is in her head, to open the door to her space forward.
Hirotsugu Machida's technique is not a convenient substitute for spatially transferring to an arbitrary place, but creating a subspace that is one dimension off, and opening a doorway to the subspace at a predetermined location within the range of vision. and connect them with short tunnels in subspace.
The entrance and exit cannot be set freely, and when the entrance is set, the exit location is limited to within a certain distance from the entrance location. Also, the exit cannot be made where there is a solid.
The bullet that Makoto had shot appeared behind her, but as if he had even predicted it, it moved diagonally to the right and backward at the same time he shot it.
It had been less than 5 seconds since the battle started, but Rin understood what he was doing during that brief period of time. To this boy, he can't win on his own. He looks like a cute kid, but inside he's a battle-hardened warrior who's gone through many battles.
(Stay strong. If you think he can't win, at least survive. He won't die in vain.)
Despite the fact that she is in the middle of a battle, Machida throws a shout of her consciousness at Rin, who has lost her fighting spirit, and tries to activate the next technique regardless of Rin's will.
Rin immediately understood what Machida was trying to do. She's going to open the door for escape. In other words, Machida's power can't be used to make bullets jump in space now.
Rin tried to point her gun at her, but her true muzzle was already pointed at Rin. Fatal delay caused by relying on her abilities -
(monster...)
After fighting in less than ten seconds, those words came to Rin's mind.
Just as Machida fell into the open door behind her, Rin obliquely disappeared from the back of Machida's head.
Makoto pulled the trigger.
At the exit door of the short subspace passage built in the direction of the elevator, only Rin's abdomen and upper part appeared tilted backwards.
A red dot was pierced in the center of Rin's chest. the position of her heart. She dies instantly. And only her lower body remains in front of her true.
Caught in the subspace that connects space and space, Rin died in a state where her body was split in two.
(Maybe it's my fault...because I did something unnecessary...)
Even if Rin's consciousness disappeared, Machida's consciousness remained for about two seconds. Machida, who realized her death and her own death, regretted his own dogmatism in the last few hours left, and that consciousness disappeared.
The spatial door closes and Rin's body literally severs and falls to her floor, splattering copious amounts of her blood and offal. A serpent-entwined cross pendant falls from her chest to the floor and sinks into a pool of blood.
"It's a terrible ending."
When she put away her gun, Makoto whispered. This gruesome spectacle excited the nasty spectators who were watching the battle on the Internet, and it was like they were going out of their way to add color to the show, which made me feel uncomfortable.
"It's over. I wonder if Touya-kun's sales pitch failed, this is how it is."
Junko stands up while holding the bloody Touya in her arms.
"If Toya dies...I..."
Akira groaned as he closed his eyes and stared blankly at the lifeless Touya.
"You're the one who pulled this guy in."
Akira, who was about to cry, bites his lip and tightens his expression.
"We won well, but if one of us loses, it's not good as an advertisement.
However, the words that came out of Mana's mouth only lasted for a moment, and Akira's tight face distorted in despondency.
"That's right. Well, even so, I think people who remember me will remember my face and name."
Junko followed up, but since Akira puts more emphasis on truthful words between Makoto and Junko, he didn't feel much comfort.
