Co-Operation

Kakyouin-san thrust
out her hand, and mud from the black swamp emerged in the shape of tentacles,
reaching toward me.
Just as I was about to
prepare myself to counterattack───
"───!"
A large number of
arrows of light began to fall like rain from the ceiling, driving away
Kakyouin-san and the mud.
When the arrows of
light finished firing, everything was gone as if it had never been there.
"You have quite
the nerve to proceed with the conversation while ignoring me, humans. This is
the first time I've been so insulted."
Chrisya-san walked
over to my side. Those arrows were probably her doing.
"Kushina"
"───?"
Unusually for
Chrisya-san, she leaned close to me and spoke in a small voice.
"I don't want to
admit it, but... 'that' is entering the realm of a God. It has invaded my
sacred realm. Such a thing... is impossible unless it's a god."
"..."
"It's dangerous.
So I'll use numbers without hesitation. I, as a God, and you, Kushina, who has
trespassed into the realm of the Gods, will attack together. Understand? I'll
cooperate with you this time."
"………"
I looked away from
Chrisya-san for a moment and let out a small sigh.
Cooperate, huh...
"Understood."
I replied with a
smile.
""───！""
Chrisya-san and I
looked forward.
The black swamp had
somehow reappeared, and bubbles were popping up from the center.
With a splash,
something jumped out. As it stood upright, it dripped black liquid and
gradually took shape.
"That was mean of
you, Chrisya. To attack suddenly like that."
The one who appeared
was exactly the same as Kakyouin-san a moment ago.
The corner of my mouth
turned up when I saw it.
Kakyouin-san thrust
her right hand forward again.
Tentacle-shaped mud
spurted out from the black swamp and flew towards us.
Chrisya-san clapped
her hands together at the base of her palms and thrust them forward.
A circular magic
circle with intricate white patterns appeared in front of us as a shield. The
magic circle blocked the mud tentacles. When the mud tentacles hit the magic
circle, their tips shattered and spread out, temporarily obscuring our vision.
"───!?"
Chrisya-san looked
surprised. The magic circle she had deployed───it began to be eroded
by red cracks as soon as it collided with the mud.
Chrisya-san was
probably surprised because this was supposed to be something that couldn't be
eroded.
It was an impossible
reality───anyone would be
surprised.
However, it's a
testament to Chrisya-san that she didn't freeze up there.
She immediately
stiffened her face and slowly twisted her arms as if she were wrestling with
the tentacles───
"───!!"
Bending her elbow
slightly───Chrisya-san thrust her
palm forward again with force.
In response, the magic
circle spun and, as it rotated, it moved to push back the mud. And as it
gradually accelerated, it moved forward with great force, cutting through a
part of the swamp along with Kakyouin-san.
However, since it
couldn't be completely erased, the remaining mud on both ends flowed back, returning
to the original shape of the swamp.
Kakyouin-san
reappeared. It was the same as before.
I crouched down. Then,
kicking the floor, I lunged at Kakyouin-san. A gust of wind swirled around me
slightly after I moved.
I closed in on
Kakyouin-san instantly. Pulling my right elbow back, I thrust out my fist with
the momentum of the charge.
My fist hit
Kakyouin-san's face directly───and passed through her face. It felt as if I had punched a pool of water
that had been gathering... water?
I stopped a little way
past Kakyouin-san and turned back to look at her.
Kakyouin-san's face
was gone. Black liquid was dripping from her neck, keeping her still. That is───even though her head
was gone, she was standing upright.
What the hell?
I could feel my smile deepening.
As if in reverse, the
black water began to gather, and Kakyouin-san's head regenerated. ───And her face was
smiling.
Kakyouin-san turned
her face towards me and thrust out her right hand.
"───!"
Black tentacles from
the swamp below wrapped around my legs, temporarily stopping my movement.
But, with this level
of force───
"───!?"
More and more black
tentacles emerged from the swamp and wrapped around me. My arms, waist, hands,
neck───one after another,
they wrapped around my body, trying to stop my movement. This is...
My body was sinking
into the swamp.
Is she going to take
me somewhere else?
I can regenerate if
I'm killed, but it's a different story if I'm taken somewhere else. Moreover,
it's a place that Chrisya-san instinctively dislikes───it's definitely not a
good place.
But, this is bad... I
can't go on like this.
Just as I was trying
to break free with all my strength,
""───！！""
A shower of light
arrows, enough to engulf the entire swamp, rained down on Kakyouin-san and me.
