I run. I fly. I fall. And then I run again. Godspeed, Mode Six! I poured all my strength into it, jumped off the castle wall, and ran towards the Demon Army.
Why I ran is obvious. It wasn’t because I was keeping Serunintius waiting. This overwhelming pressure wasn’t caused by diarrhea.
You might think it’s absurd, but I have a feeling of this kind. Just a moment ago, something happened that no one else would know, and even without telling anyone, how could I possibly know! Priscilla’s “Boom!” gave me a sense of certainty, and I continued to run towards the Demon Army.
Five seconds ago…
I leaped into the center of a horde of two thousand Orcs.
Four seconds ago…
The Orcs must have been surprised. A human suddenly appeared before them.
Three seconds ago…
“Nice to meet you, everyone. I am Mikael Shin, the Hero of the Allied Forces and a Count of the Ashtal Empire.”
Two seconds ago…
“I apologize, but I don’t have time to talk. Please look up.”
One second ago…
Above us, “asteroid Itokawa” was falling, bringing its children. Godspeed, Mode Six!
Impact…
This must be what they call a massacre. Giant rocks from Meteor Strike rained down on the defenseless Orcs. Where were they even coming from? Does this planet have rings like Saturn?
The only difference was that they weren’t flying towards the Orcs; their target was me. The Orcs were just collateral damage from me… Sorry.
Am I able to be this composed because my Godspeed has reached Mode Six? Shoot all you want! I’ll dodge it all, escape it all, and survive it all!
Taking two thousand Orcs with me, Sophia’s enraged Meteor Strike rained down. The cause of her rage must be that. Meredith’s marriage must have touched her berserk button.
But Keibeck’s story and our bonds were just a moment ago, and she came here directly from there. Without telling anyone, without anyone finding out, how does Sophia know?
Mode Six, which allowed me to have the余裕 to think and look around, efficiently dragged the Orcs along with me.
Suddenly, I noticed that the giant rocks I dodged from Meteor Strike had the characters “Kill” and “Curse” carved into them.
I don’t know much about magic, but I wonder if she carves these letters into giant rocks before shooting them down? Rather than thinking she’s skillful, I feel a greater sense of terror. What a convenient magic! Why not go work at the Sagrada Familia! It would speed up the construction schedule!
I wonder how long I continued to dodge. I remember it far surpassed Alma Rosenberg’s previous time. I could no longer see the Orcs or the ground, only mountains of giant rocks. This might become a new tourist attraction in Klinshberbach.
“Is it over, Sophia…”
Floating in front of me, Sophia glowed divinely. Was she a god, an angel, or a messenger of a demon? She was definitely inhuman. And when did she learn to fly?
“…”
Her eyes weren’t divine. They were like looking at insects crawling on the ground, a gaze that surpassed anger, something beyond human comprehension.
“Sophia, will you believe me if I say it’s a misunderstanding?”
Actually, it’s not a complete misunderstanding. It’s true that I formed a bond with Meredith. It’s true that I acted on that bond.
But I had a knife pointed at me, so what was I supposed to do? I was scared, it hurt, and I would be in trouble if Keibeck left the Allied Forces. Well, in the end, I couldn’t stop my partner’s rampage.
“Sophia?”
Meteor Strike is Sophia’s magic, so once it’s used up, she should be exhausted. More importantly, weren’t you supposed to be recovering from healing magic?
“Mikael…”
She called me by name, which was unusual. What happens at times like this… It’s like deciding the added time. The first one to score a point wins.
The Eight Lightning Balls floating around Sophia expanded more than I had ever seen, and what should have been eight balls looked like an infinite number.
I’m confident I can dodge the Platinum Laser fired from Sophia. The laser itself travels at the speed of light, so if I dodge it, I won’t be hit, but if I pay close attention to Sophia’s finger movements and use pre-emptive Mind’s Eye, I can dodge it.
But I don’t know about the laser fired from the light orbs. When it will be fired, from what angle, I have no idea at all.
Moreover, Sophia is flying. How am I supposed to shoot her down? My anti-aircraft weapon, Shin-chan Gatling Gun, has a short range.
“What is it, Sophia?”
“Mikael…”
Godspeed, Mode Six!
It seems like there will be no discussion. The surrounding giant rock formations vanished with the Platinum Laser, creating a stage for me alone. The spotlight was the Platinum Laser, and Sophia was the scriptwriter. This time, she intended to hit me for real.
I dodge, I run. As I age, my knees hurt. Even with Mode Six, I can’t keep up with the speed of the laser, but Sophia is the one firing it.
Faster than Sophia can recognize me, faster, unceasingly fast, incredibly fast, fast enough to melt my body, I unleashed Godspeed Mode Six.
The newly formed tourist attraction of giant rocks disappeared, replaced by a glassy desert. Will this also become a tourist attraction? I’ll need to procure some camels.
“Aaaah! Aaaah…nn-aaaaah…”
I had been running away for about half a day, and it was already getting dark. The beauty of the magic hour we watched together almost brought tears to my eyes.
“Ihyaan! Ah…ha… Aaaah…nn…”
Now, peacefully, Sophia and I are confirming our love. What a meaningful time. The storm from before has passed, and the beautiful Sophia is on top of me, thrusting her hips… My left eye can’t see well.
“A…haaah… Amazing… i…aaaah…aaaaa”
I’m glad Sophia seems to be enjoying herself too. I wonder if she’s forgotten what happened before. If so, that’s good, but I can’t feel my legs… Ah, that’s right… Both my legs have been carbonized. They’re completely black.
“I-going…to the…end…uuu”
How many times has it been now? Please go until you’re satisfied. I can’t move, and I can’t make a sound. How long has it been since my vocal cords were burned away?
“Aaaahhhhha…a…aaaah!n…!”
You’ve reached your climax. Even the softness of Sophia’s chest leaning against me seems unfeelable now that my body is numb.
From then until the sun rose, Sophia continued to climax, and I continued to live. When Priscilla finally came to rescue me, my right hand, which intended to give her the middle finger, was broken and couldn’t stand.
“You actually lived! Hahaha!”
In such a situation, one would expect to feel murderous intent, but I currently have no such emotions. I’m in a state of 무아지경 in bed, that’s how it feels.
“And only your ‘stuff’ is unscathed. Sophia really knows how to do it!”
Sophia’s rage was directed at me, but not at a specific part of me. Thanks to that, I survived. Currently, Sophia is probably healing me next to me.
She’s chanting something and clinging to me, but soon the pain of my wounds will subside, and eventually, my carbonized legs, my broken bones visible through my skin, my left eye that can’t see, my cut vocal cords, and my numb body… they will all heal.
“Well, rest now. I’ll go talk to Marquis MacGregor for you.”
Meredith had said that if she married me, she would also have to deal with this ferocious White Lily Corps. I would tell her that’s impossible, and if she saw the desert that had formed north of Klinshberbach, she would surely break off the engagement. I’ll leave the rest to Priscilla. I’d like to take about a month of paid leave.
“There’s a meeting scheduled for first thing tomorrow. Make sure you’re healed by then. See ya…”
The members of the White Lily Corps left the room, leaving Sophia and me behind. A meeting first thing tomorrow. I’ll have Manon prepare the documents for me…
