This was a realm that was like a dream, but not a dream. It was possible to suffer real damage.
Actually, Miyabi didn't completely understand what Harano Seigo was saying.
It wasn't until she saw Hashimoto injured that she finally understood.
This place was like a dream, but it was not a dream.
He would be injured, he would be in pain, and he might even … die!
As Miyabi left the battlefield, she couldn't help but turn around to look back.
Seeing Harano, Seigo and Ya-chan persevered in the fight against the zombies.
Don't let anything happen.
She prayed in her heart as she retracted her gaze and speedily followed behind Matsutani-senpai, who was carrying Hashimoto-san.
Matsutani put Yuuko down on the ground after they were some distance away from the battlefield. He pulled out the arrow and cast a spell to stop the bleeding.
"Use your power to do something!" he said.
Nomura wanted to create some healing items, but he was unable to do so.
Miyabi took a good look at Yuuko's pale face before slowly closing her eyes.
Focus … and focus again … to feel …
When the female author had asked her how she had become so powerful, she had actually lied.
The rapid improvement of his marksmanship was not achieved "unknowingly", but when he concentrated, he felt something in his body.
As long as he continued to experience and accept it, he would be able to become stronger … he had this feeling.
However, Miyabi was somewhat against this, because she felt that she would no longer be ordinary.
She didn't want to get too involved with the Extraordinaries. She just wanted to be an ordinary girl and live a peaceful life.
But at this moment, she deeply realized that this kind of thinking was selfish.
If he wanted to return safely, he had to use all of his strength! This was not an imaginary adventure, but a real struggle for survival!
I'm sorry, Hashimoto-san.
Sorry, everyone.
I won't run away anymore.
With apology and resolution, Miyabi fully immersed her mind into her body to accept everything that was hidden within.
Matsutani and Nomura saw the cat-eared girl giving off a white glow.
Her skin became extremely white, and a red spiral mark appeared on her forehead. Her lips and fingernails turned bright red, and her pair of cat ears turned white and became longer and sharper. Her tail also turned white and became longer and furrier. Her whole body gave off a strong demonic aura.
"This is … a demon fox?" Matsutani muttered to himself.
After the white light faded and the transformation stopped, Miyabi opened her eyes. Her pupils shone with a bright red luster.
Then she reached out and touched Miss Hashimoto's wound, her palm glowing white.
"Hmm …"
Yuuko moaned.
Moments later, Miyabi retracted her hand.
The wound had already disappeared!
"This … he's cured!?" Nomura exclaimed in astonishment.
The female author slowly opened her eyes.
"I … what's going on?"
"Hashimoto-san, do you still feel any pain?" Miyabi asked.
"No … Ishihara-san?" Yuuko blinked in surprise upon seeing Miyabi. "Why … did your appearance change again?"
Miyabi smiled in response.
This smile had a kind of seductive beauty to it, causing the female author to fall into a daze.
"From a cat girl to a fox girl … does this count as evolution?" Matsutani watched this scene unfold before him.
"I think you should call it a second transformation," Nomura commented.
No matter what, it was a good thing that his teammates had become stronger.
Yuuko sincerely expressed her gratitude when she learned that Miyabi had transformed and saved her.
"Where's Mr. Harano and Little Ya?" After thanking him, she noticed that there were two people missing from the team.
"They're still fighting here. We need to meet up with them as soon as possible," Miyabi said. "Hashimoto-san, can you still fight?"
"I …" Yuuko paused for a moment. "I'm a little scared … but it's alright. Let's hurry back!"
Her hands were trembling slightly, but she had a calm expression.
"… Nomura-san, please focus on protecting Hashimoto-san," Miyabi told him.
Nomura nodded in agreement.
Then, without saying anything else, everyone immediately returned to the battlefield.
…
* Smack! * Seiji received yet another slash, and his personal barrier collapsed once again.
He forcefully endured this attack, swung his sword, and killed the zombie. He then retreated to dodge the other zombies' attacks.
There weren't many zombies left now.
'I'll retreat after dealing with these zombies.' That was what Seiji thought to himself. Suddenly, a new group of zombies appeared in his field of vision!
Three of them were wearing helmets. The two in front wielded a scythe and a chain hammer, a unique weapon known as the [Chain Scythe]!
The one in the back was not only wearing a helmet, she was also wearing a majestic general's armor. The weapon she wielded was a horse-slaying sword … no, a kodachi!
Seiji had an ominous premonition the moment he saw these three zombie girls.
The next second, two chain hammers tore through the air and attacked him!
Seiji blocked one of the hammers with his longsword. However, he wasn't able to completely dodge the other one. He was struck in the right shoulder!
It hurt … but it was still bearable.
The other zombie girls took this opportunity to attack! Seiji was forced to retreat even further.
The kodachi wielding general's armor speedily charged at Ya-chan who was still fighting on the other side!
"Ya-chan …"
Seiji wanted to warn Seiji, but the two scythe wielding girls attacked him again.
This time, scythes flew towards him!
Seiji speedily swung his sword and forcefully deflected the two scythes' attacks, nullifying their attacks.
"… Hurry and dodge!" Seiji finished his unfinished warning.
But, it was too late.
* Whoosh! * The kodachi's sword flashed as if a silver moon had appeared.
The ghost protecting Ya-chan was sliced in half!
"Wow! So scary!! "
The ghost child rolled on the ground and barely dodged this attack. It then swiftly crawled away on its hands and feet.
The kodachi girl chased after the ghost child.
Seiji wanted to help Ya-chan. However, he was surrounded as well.
Just as the kodachi girl was chasing after the Ghost Child, an arrow hit the visor of her helmet!
It was Miyabi.
She rushed over and continuously fired her crossbow at Seiji!
The kodachi girl blocked the arrows with her weapon and gave up on chasing Ya-chan. Instead, she turned around and rushed towards the archer!
Matsutani, who was running behind Miyabi, cast an immobilizing spell that hit the kodachi girl.
However, the kodachi girl roared and instantly dispelled the spell! Not only that, her armor started glowing red, blocking all the magic crossbow bolts!
A protective barrier!?
"Hurry and dodge!"
Matsutani shouted towards Miyabi when he saw that the kodachi girl had actually cast a barrier and was rapidly approaching.
However, Miyabi didn't dodge. Instead, she went up against her!
* Whoosh! *
Another flash of a sword appeared as another silver moon appeared.
The fox-eared girl was sliced in half … no, it was an afterimage!
Miyabi instantly appeared by the kodachi girl's side, spun around, and viciously kicked her in the head!
The beautiful fox-eared girl leapt into the air, her white hair and white tail dancing in the wind … this scene was quite beautiful. Matsutani, as well as Nomura and Yuuko who were slightly behind him, saw this scene.
* Smack!! *
The armored zombie girl collapsed to the ground with a heavy thud.
The next moment, she flipped over and leaped up. She waved the katana in her hand and executed an extremely fast upward slash!
However, she only managed to hit an afterimage.
Miyabi lowered her body and swept her leg horizontally! She kicked the zombie girl to the ground again.
The kodachi girl then jumped up again and used an upward slash followed by a diagonal slash!
However, she still only managed to hit an afterimage.
The fox-eared girl kicked the zombie girl down for the third time. She firmly suppressed her strong opponent with close combat!
