Chapter 178: Decoy (2)

A guy who tries to stop that kind of act is overwhelmingly correct as a human, but not sought at all. Natural, even though playing an eroge wanting to see ero scenes, if the ero scene is obstructed only hate accumulates.

Therefore except some exceptions male characters are only trash.

Trash is easier to turn the talk, ero scenes increase and the player also rejoices, all good.

...Of course there are exceptions.

When taking a female character, taking from a proper guy is more exciting than taking from a trash bastard, and when sending a filming-while-doing video letter it boils.

In the case of a villain protagonist there is also obtaining villain-like catharsis by crushing a correct guy.

Therefore the equation male character of this kind of genre = inner trash does not necessarily hold, but anxiety inevitably cannot be wiped.

Is it fine to trust this guy? Really?

While holding that kind of anxiety the operators standing in front of the monitors suddenly shouted.

"Confirming combat action! A huge leech-like monster and Alter Native made contact... defeated!?"

"What was that just now, too fast, too strong...! An attack not in the data...!?"

"Alter Native is currently heading toward the school direction. Toward Sacred Knight and them!"

Whether surrounding surveillance cameras are destroyed, Alter’s figure is not reflected on the monitors.

But with magical-power reaction the approximate place seems grasped. On the town hologram installed in the center Alter’s location is flickering.

Seeing the light point heading toward the school slowly yet straight without commanding subordinates the legs tremble.

What I recall is that fight where I could do nothing and was about to be frame-killed.

Recalling that instant of being done completely and about to die, terror overflows.

"...!"

I bite my teeth.

I grip a fist. Strongly, strongly, strongly, from the clenched fist mucus dripped doro-doro.

Not a time to tremble, I desperately put a shout into myself put spirit.

But the trembling only gets bigger. Pathetic I want to cry.

"...Fine, Atel-san."

That kind of my right hand Knuckle gently wrapped with both hands.

"Separately not facing alone. This time Arrow-senpai is also there, and more than anything I will mow down with my overflowing power!"

"That is so... Sacred number-one gorilla, you."

"Yes yes! Yoshi, from now on I will mow down that kind of thin macho with gorilla power. ...Ha? About to get angry. If you say next I will quite seriously hit?"

Do not suddenly become a straight face despite riding until midway, scary.

The trembling toward Alter stopped, but from another terror the body starts trembling.

"...That is so. Is sending needed?"

"Not needed. Running is faster than a car. Let’s go, junior."

Apparently the talk was already finished even leaving us, Arrow turns her heel and starts walking.

"Eh? A..."

Knuckle who tried to chase that back once stops and directs her gaze toward Tomioka.

Probably there are various places she thinks from hearing the talk just now. After all to a degree she could become Sacred even living on Earth. Because she is properly strong in a sense of justice, properly cannot allow evil, she probably finds it hard to allow the fact Tomioka Seijiro talked.

Tomioka receives Knuckle’s gaze straight and deeply lowered his head.

"The school’s students, please. Even though involving without question what, you will think. That feeling is correct, no words to return. But even so, please."

"...No need to be said!"

Probably not convinced.

But even so she swallowed the feeling and showed a nod.

While staring at the back of Knuckle running out I also try to chase quickly and start running.

"Atel Octo-kun."

I was called to stop.

Thinking suspicious and turning, eyes meet Tomioka putting on a suffering expression.

Probably that is not a physical thing but a mental thing.

While twisting a gallant face with self-disgust that constantly torments he opens his mouth.

"Maybe no need to say, but please Sacred Arrow."

"...Is the opponent to rely not mistaken? Rather I am the side relying on that confident young-girl senpai."

The inside is probably not confident.

While thinking that, surely before the cooperator Tomioka she is keeping up so as not to break that I joke.

"Confidence? No way, that kind of thing does not exist even a fragment in her."

But Tomioka immediately denied.

Rather a lump of inferiority complex.

An opponent who has not played the original, only interacted in this world, sees through her essence.

"All all is emulation. The figure as a Sacred full of confidence, the figure as a streamer behaving cutely more than necessary, everything. Not the original her."

All all she is only acting because thinking far more useful than the original self.

Originally more an age-appropriate child, Tomioka talks.

...That speculation is not wrong. Doris appearing in the original’s past recollections was serious, yet far more childlike.

"Atel Octo-kun. That she could come to Earth is because you were there. Because you an ’ally overwhelmingly weaker compared to herself’ were there she could come here... you seem to understand that?"

"...Aa."

In the original Sacred who however much allies were in a pinch did not come to Earth is her.

Cannot think the likes of herself helping somehow, meddling, everyone has already thought of a solution long ago. Because everyone is different from herself.

Worrying that way, in the end able to do nothing, when precious comrades all fell to darkness or died. A character who gets desperate after completely too late.

That kind of her appeared while other Sacred are alive. That is, why?

The answer is simple. Because the Vigilante named Atel Octo is ’a small fry of the bottom of the bottom in both combat ability and tactics’.

With ability of a degree not stimulating her inferiority complex, yet from results until now she could not let die either. She could move.

Because she thought an ’opponent even this kind of self can save’, maybe.

Even if she reaches a hand fine, other Sacred maybe have deep thinking, and if clumsily reaching a hand maybe ruin everything, but Atel Octo no that worry. Because she convinced that she helped me.
