The area was covered in dust for a while due to the sudden explosion.
Looking at the surrounding landscape covered in rubble after the dust subsided, Toya and Akira learned that the entire building had been blown up. There was no sound during the explosion, so at first I had no idea what had happened.
"What? What is this?"
Akira's hand slipped through as he tried to touch the collapsed pillar.
"This is a subspace tunnel. You can see the scenery of normal space, but you can't touch it. It's a place where the dimension is off by one. I let this guy use magic and evacuated."
Makoto opens the zipper of his bag and shows what's inside.
"What that?"
Seeing that, Akira frowned, and Toya was at a loss for words. The container that Makoto took out of the bag was filled with liquid, and the brain, eyes, and spinal cord were floating on the pedestal with countless cords attached to it.
"I'm Kishibe Rin. He was in cardiopulmonary arrest, but he was given the same medicine that Toya gave him, and miraculously his brain survived, so he was able to resuscitate him. He can use spatial manipulation techniques. He can still speak. It doesn't have any functions, but I can hear what you're saying."
"In other words, Junko had already seen through the plan of blowing up the entire building and wiping us out in one go."
"I saw through it too, and this coping method was also my idea in the first place."
In response to Toya's groaning admiration, Makoto reluctantly or disapprovingly said something.
"Hey, what's Junko doing?"
"I guess that's what's stopping that buffoon from running away."
Akira's question was answered by Makoto.
"The smoke has subsided, so we'll return to the original space for the time being. Be careful of the collapsing ceiling and pillars."
"Then can't you use the power of your brain to warp outside?"
"Impossible. This technique is a substitute for creating subspace passages and moving through space, so it's not like you can freely warp. On top of that, the places where you can create entrances and exits are limited, and they're limited to within sight. I asked them to make the exit as high as possible so that the door wouldn't get buried after the building collapsed, and it seems to have worked."
"I see. Aizawa-senpai is thinking a lot.
While Makoto and Akira talked to each other, the three of them proceeded up the sloped subspace road. Since the scenery of the normal space is also reflected in the field of view, it seems that they are moving through the rubble of the collapsed building.
Before long, when I reached the top of the rubble, I passed through the subspace exit and returned to normal space.
"It's nostalgic, walking around in places like this. It reminds me of exploring ruins when I was in elementary school."
Akira said with a smile while walking on the rubble. Toya had the same thoughts, but the scaffolding was too unstable and scary. If a cavity is formed under the rubble or if the rubble steps on the moroi part, the scaffolding may collapse and the scaffolding may fall.
"Going back to what I was talking about a while ago, isn't it a bit difficult to beat that clown masked guy and promote it? How do you follow me?"
Toya genuinely asked while walking over the rubble of the building and heading outside.
"I haven't asked you exactly how you will help me, but if you use this guy's technique, I think you can follow up without knowing."
Makoto tapped the cylinder in which Rin's brain was floating. Hearing that, Touya felt like she understood something.
"Hey, isn't this brain a beautiful girl? Even though you were our enemy, you often cooperated with us, didn't you?"
Akira asked curiously.
"Well, Yukioka holds the power of life and death, and this guy has no choice but to cooperate.
and Makoto.
"I see, so that's what it is. Really, Junko is nasty."
Hearing that, Akira was also convinced.
After descending from the rubble of the collapsed building and going through the gate to the outside of the site, the climactic battle scene unfolded in front of the three of them.
The body of a black man wearing a clown mask and a girl in a white coat overlapped, and the body of the black man relaxed, blood dripping from his mouth and chest, his head and hands hanging loosely. drooping scene.
Junko's right hand went through the middle of Leonard's chest - the area of her heart.
"Wow... to defeat that strong clown mask so easily..."
"Hey, what are you going to do after I kill you..."
Toya groans in surprise, and Makoto rushes in in amazement.
"Hmmm, was there something wrong? Ah, should I look at the face under the mask? Or is it the mercy of the samurai to not look at it?"
"Didn't you plan to let Akira defeat him and use it as an advertisement?"
"Yeah, but there's no chance of winning if you fight Leonard-san, so you said you'd follow me, didn't you? I have a good idea."
Speaking directly to her, Junko pulled her hand out of Leonard's chest. Her blood spurts out like a fountain and falls on her Junko's body. Toya was strangely excited to see her face completely covered in blood, but seeing her usual carefree smile.
However, right after that, she suspected that she had a strange propensity, and Toya hurriedly averted her gaze from Junko's face.
When Junko lays Leonard's corpse on her stomach, she cuts her back to her waist with a hand knife. Junko's hand cut through Leonard's body with ease, as if her human body was shoji paper.
Toya and Akira grimaced as she also saw Junko put her hands in her slit and started stirring inside her. I don't know what they're doing or what they're trying to do, but it's an extremely splattering spectacle.
"Oh, the torso part is complete."
As she murmured with a satisfied face, Junko made cuts on her limbs and head in the same way, put her hand inside her and stirred.
After that, Junko lifted Leonard up and she entered Leonard's corpse through the slit in her back as if she were inside her costume.
"What do you think, customer, with this, no matter how you look at it, I'm Mr. Leonard. Now, Mr. Akira, please fight me. And since I will lose on purpose, I will film and distribute the fight. If that's the case, Akira-kun's evaluation of defeating the formalin-soaked president's cadres is skyrocketing, isn't it? Hey"
Junko, who has completely immersed herself in Leonard's corpse like her costume, gives her instructions, and she waves her hand vigorously.
"I wonder if it's okay, that's why..."
"Amazing, isn't Junko a genius by any chance?"
While Touya is stunned, Akira's eyes shine with genuine admiration. Makoto silently holds up the camera.
"Hey hey, I'm Mike Leonard, a formalin-soaked presidential executive. Ah, you can call me anywhere."
Leonard with Junko, who made a name for himself in a theatrical tone similar to Kabuki, and went out of his way to make a big impression. The voice is not Junko's, but rather Leonard's.
"Uonore, Inoguchi Saina~. Kumozuka Akira, here we go! Here we go!"
Akira received it, and although he didn't show off, he made a theatrical declaration just like Junko and pointed his gun at Leonard's corpse. Touya has the illusion that she can hear the sound of shamisen and flute coming from somewhere.
"Uoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
Akira hasn't done anything yet, but Leonard puts his left hand on his chest and raises his right hand high, trembling, and collapses in exaggerated anguish.
"I wonder if this will have the opposite effect..."
Toya whispered with an exasperated face.
(Well, even in this kind of monkey show, viewers who don't know anything will not notice it. They wouldn't imagine that Yukioka is inside and moving it.)
Just as Makoto thought so while holding the camera,
"How is it? Did you take a good picture?"
A bloody Junko appeared as if tearing Leonard's corpse open from inside, and smiled at Makoto who was holding the camera.
"The cameras are still rolling. We're streaming in real time."
Makoto tells Junko, who is covered in blood and viscera, with a big smile, the camera lens of her. Hearing that, Junko's and Akira's expressions were dramatically frozen at the same time.
"Eh... it's no good... Akira-kun, you're not planning to sell it, are you?"
"Well, seriously!? In other words, the fact that I was working on advertising was also known in the back alleys..."
Junko presses her forehead and Akira drops her shoulders in shock.
"You came out too early.
"Shin turns off the camera and complains."
"Hmm... so that's my fault, Akira-kun, I'm sorry."
Junko put her hands together in front of Akira, but Akira didn't react with his soulless face.
"Hmm... I mean, now that I think about it, it didn't have to be a live broadcast, right? You can edit the video later."
Junko made a difficult face and groaned.
"It's ridiculously stupid that everyone here doesn't notice it."
"True with a sigh."
"Umm, this means... Akira is hopeless to make it through the back streets, isn't it?"
Touya timidly said to Akira, who was dumbfounded looking up into the void, and Junko, who was frowning.
"Ah, that's right. It's obvious that the evaluation will be the worst for a guy who tried to sell a phony, and who wants to hire such a guy? In this world, trust is more important than anything else. Well, I'm sorry I didn't turn the camera off right away either.
After Makoto answered Toya, he turned to Akira and bowed deeply.
"Well... don't apologize, Senpai. I'm sure I got hit by the drumstick I tried to cheat. I feel like I started from a negative point, but I won't give up. Aha... ahaha... "
Akira's helpless smile was painfully reflected in Touya's eyes.
Toya could feel his disappointment that all his efforts had been ruined by the slightest mistake. What's more, it was not my poka, but Junko and Makoto, who helped him, so I couldn't regret his blunder or get angry, and I was caught up in a feeling of disappointment.
(If I don't support you)
Looking at Akira, who was blatantly disappointed, Toya tightened her expression.
"Akira!"
Akira lifted his head and looked at Toya as his name was called with a strong voice. A determined gaze was fixed on Akira.
"I'm with you"
Straightforward and extremely clumsy follow-up. I can't think of any other witty words, and there's nothing else I can do. Stay by my side and lend me your strength if I need it, that's all I can do.
"Ahaha, that line doesn't suit Touya's character."
"Don't be so loud, I know I'm saying it, and it's embarrassing."
Akira smiled happily and embarrassedly, and Toya smiled at him.
