Date a Live:Date Under The Moon Chapter 184 184: Disaster from the Sky

"There's no way that's true!"

Looking at the girl's sorrowful expression, Shido shouted loudly:

"Even if there's sothing you don't understand, once, a hundred tis, after we go back, I'll tell senpai everything! Until senpai can understand that I'm Itsuka Shido, I won't give up no matter what!"

"Mm… you're right."

Mikoto smiled and nodded.

Although there were differences, the boy before her truly did possess the personality and virtues that only Itsuka Shido had.

"It wouldn't be good to keep Origami waiting. Let's go back."

"Ah… right."

Mikoto smiled at Shido, and the two of them walked back toward their seats together.

After that…

"Um… Origami?"

"O-Origami?"

The two of them looked at the girl who was licking the spoon Shido had used in a rather sensual pose, and both revealed smiles that were half amused and half helpless.

[As expected… Origami also has mories from the original world, doesn't she?]

The girl before Mikoto was very different from the Origami she knew, but after experiencing this whole string of events, Mikoto more or less had a feeling that this "Origami" must be the Origami from before history was changed.

[Well… probably… right?]

Looking at the girl who, after being called back to her senses, panicked so much that she accidentally spilled water on Shido, only to then pull out a cara and photograph his navel while he was wringing out his shirt, Mikoto beca uncertain again.

After all, even in the world before history had changed, would there really be a girl with that sort of personality?

7:00 p.m., Tengu City High Platform Park.

[Um, Mikoto, are you really not coming back?]

Kotori looked at Mikoto on the screen, who was following Shido and Origami from a distance, and asked uneasily.

After dinner, Mikoto had parted ways with Shido and Origami. Even if she said she wanted to witness Shido conquering Origami, when it ca to the most crucial part, it would indeed be better to let the two of them be alone. Otherwise, with a girl's shyness and embarrassnt, Origami might be too embarrassed to kiss Shido in front of Mikoto.

"I'm still a little worried after all. Although this is based on experience, Kotori—in your impression, has Shido's conquering ever not ended with a huge battle?"

At this mont, Mikoto was already wearing Fraxinus's earpiece and speaking with Kotori.

Although the current Shido was still under trial, she could not simply leave him alone knowing there was danger.

[About that, we already know… well… forget it. Mikoto has a point too…]

From the Shido who had co from the future, they already knew they had to be careful of the rotten railing at High Platform Park. Back then, it had been because the railing suddenly broke, causing Shido to be scratched. After Origami saw the healing flas activate, she reversed.

In theory, as long as they avoided that event, there should be no problem. But after thinking it over, Kotori realized Mikoto was right.

When had Shido's conquering ever gone smoothly?

"Though I also think this is kind of stupid…"

Shido and Origami were on a date, and here she was tailing them like a bodyguard. If it were not night ti, she would have been treated as a yandere girl already.

Origami ca from AST, so her counter surveillance abilities were excellent. However, because she was currently on a date with Shido, her vigilance had dropped quite a bit, so following them was not enough to get discovered.

"Hey, Kotori, what do you think? Do you feel like the current Shido isn't the Shido you knew?"

Tailing soone was a dull task, so Mikoto started chatting with Kotori.

[For , Onii-chan is Onii-chan, of course. I don't feel anything special.]

Kotori said.

However, she could understand Mikoto's thoughts. Unlike her, Shido from the original world still rembered her, but had forgotten Mikoto.

[If Onii-chan forgot too…]

Kotori shook her head, trying to cast away that chilling thought.

[In any case, although I know it's a little unreasonable, I still hope you can trust that idiot Onii-chan, Mikoto.]

In the end, she said that.

"Mm."

Mikoto nodded.

At that mont, the atmosphere between Shido and Origami was getting better and better. Just as it seed like the two of them were about to kiss—

Boom!

A dazzling flash cut across the sky and struck High Platform Park with perfect accuracy.

[Mikoto! Are you okay, Mikoto?]

On the screen, the place where Mikoto had just been standing had been blasted into a huge crater, with thick smoke rolling out from it. The channel connected to Mikoto emitted static noise, and for a mont no ssage ca through.

When the smoke dispersed, what appeared on Fraxinus's screen was Mikoto with Tsukuyomi deployed. However, the girl was covered in wounds and clearly had not completely defended against the enemy's attack.

[What is going on?]

Kotori crushed the Chupa Chups in her mouth with force.

Because they knew Ellen was targeting Mikoto, Fraxinus had been hovering above Mikoto almost constantly during this period.

"Enemy aerial ship detected at three o'clock!"

At that mont, a gorgeous streamlined platinum aerial ship appeared on the screen.

It was Ellen's Goetia. (TL:ugh...)

Kotori's protection of Mikoto had changed the future. The world's strongest Wizard sensed that Ratatoskr might have noticed her intentions, so she decided to use Goetia to launch a direct assault.

"Damn it! Invisible camouflage?"

The instant she saw the aerial ship, Kotori grasped the situation. The enemy must have used invisible camouflage to hide its form, which was why Fraxinus had not discovered it.

"Intercept it! Don't let it keep hurting Mikoto!"

Kotori shouted the order.

Since the enemy was targeting Mikoto, it was Fraxinus's duty to stop it here.

"Roger!"

The crew turned the ship's bow, aiming the main cannon at the enemy.

"Mystletainn, fire—!"

A blazing bombardnt roared toward the platinum aerial ship. However, sowhere Kotori and the others could not see, the world's strongest Wizard rely smiled without concern as she faced the powerful magic cannon.

"What?"

On Fraxinus's screen, the enemy dodged Mystletainn with an unimaginable movent.

It was a lateral shift.

Yes, not forward, not backward, but a complete horizontal movent without even the motion of turning.

Never mind a massive battleship—even a car, which was much smaller and more agile in comparison, could not possibly do such a thing.

"What is that…"

Kotori said in disbelief.

"Hmm… it seems she has reduced the thickness of the Territory surrounding the ship to the absolute limit, thereby increasing its mobility. In addition, that movent just now was probably achieved by using the Territory to bounce the entire ship sideways."

Kannazuki rubbed his chin and analyzed.

"Is that even possible?"

"At least in theory, it is. However, I have never tried it before. Soone capable of doing such a thing is probably that Ellen Mathers."

Hearing Kannazuki's words, Kotori could not help but slam her fist against the armrest.

There was only one reason for the girl's agitation.

The main cannon of that aerial ship had already begun charging again.

"That fast… what kind of Realizer did it load?"

Because Realizers needed to operate in parallel to generate magical power, a battleship's main cannon was basically incapable of continuous fire. Even Fraxinus needed an interval of thirty seconds before firing its second shot.

If one wanted to accelerate the firing rate of the main cannon, one needed to increase the number of Realizers. Unfortunately, even if Realizers could be added without limit, the ship's magical processing capacity had its limits. Unless…

"That Ellen Mathers is using herself as a magical processing device?"

Kotori could not help clicking her tongue.

To increase the efficiency of magical processing, the only option left was to include the processing capacity of the human brain.

In the sky, the world's strongest Wizard displayed a cheat-like technique that only she could perform.

The platinum aerial ship took only about ten seconds before firing a second bombardnt at Mikoto, who was still kneeling on the ground.
