"!!!"For Doma, today was probably the most unreal day of his life. A chanical girl flying through the air, a witch who changed in countless ways, a songstress singing at the top of her voice, a shrine maiden opening barriers—even the boy he had previously thought was an ordinary person had pulled a greatsword from who knew where.
Everything before his eyes was like a battlefield that should only exist in tv show, ani. In comparison, the police handgun he had brought looked childish and laughable, like a toy.
This was the first ti that the ordinary person nad Ono Doma had co into such close contact with the other side of this world.
However, right now, he was busy running for his life, and had no ti to savor this excessively abnormal experience.
Miku's song threw the entire research institute into great chaos. Ellen herself, in particular, was entangled by Wizards who had been her allies monts before and could not pursue them.
Unfortunately, perhaps because so areas could not hear the broadcast, or perhaps because Miku could not use all of her power, the effect of the song did not brainwash everyone besides Ellen. If one had to say, about half of them still retained consciousness.
But that was enough. Shido and the others's goal was not to destroy this research institute, but to escape.
"Now's our chance. Let's go!"
Mikoto assessed the current situation. Since the most troubleso person, Ellen, had already been held back, they naturally could not let this opportunity slip away.
"Yeah, let's go!"
Shido nodded, and everyone broke through the blockade outside the broadcasting room together. Because a large number of Wizards had been brainwashed by Miku, they did not encounter much obstruction.
After that, everyone sprinted toward the exit.
The resistance along the way was not intense. Only a few Wizards still had enough strength to attack them, but they could not create a decisive obstacle.
Just as they thought they could successfully escape like this, unexpected trouble appeared.
"Careful!"
Mikoto opened a barrier and blocked multiple laser beams.
"Those are—Bandersnatch?"
Shido turned his head and saw countless chanical monsters lunging toward them. These monsters were the sa as the one they had encountered last night, with eerie mist wrapped around their bodies.
Originally, a small research institute like this did not need such a large number of Bandersnatch as guards. The reason they appeared here was entirely because, at the beginning, the Artificial Spirit research had targeted mass producible Bandersnatch.
But unfortunately, although those chanical monsters could carry a certain amount of spiritual power, they could not perfectly integrate with a virtual Sephira Crystal. In the end, all that was born were chanical bodies possessing "Spirit spiritual power".
However, to Mikoto and the others, no matter why they had beco like this or why they appeared here, these Bandersnatch were undoubtedly the most unwelco guests.
"Ara, my voice has no effect on these toys that don't understand music."
Miku said in distress.
"I don't think that has anything to do with whether they understand music."
As Natsumi retorted, she turned an approaching Bandersnatch into a body pillow printed with Shiori's image.
"If only there were a Spirit who could control electronic devices." (TL: Oh my god 1)
Mikoto said helplessly. Miku's ability had no effect on these pure electronic devices. To deal with Bandersnatch quickly and easily, what they needed was probably not Diva, but an existence like Hacker. (TL:I stopped translating when I typed out this line for like 10 minute, the line just hit like a truck)
"There's no way such a convenient Spirit exists." (TL: Oh my god 2)
Shido waved his hand.
If there really were a Spirit like that, maybe she would be a girl with long brown colored hair wearing a black trench coat? (TL: Oh my god 3, I'm fking tweaking right now, "This is not the date I want" and "Date under the moon" really love to ref each other huh?)
As a result, Mikoto's words made Shido's imagination run wild too.
"In any case, let's hurry and get out of here."
He grabbed Miku, who was trying to pounce over and pick up those Shiori body pillows, and said anxiously.
At that mont, a tiny red dot suddenly appeared on the corridor wall. Then the red dot continued expanding, becoming an irregular molten mark—that was the unique phenonon that occurred when a beam cannon struck an obstacle.
Realizing this, Mikoto opened a barrier in that direction. Imdiately afterward, the wall was pierced through, and scorching light bombarded the night colored barrier.
"What happened?"
Shido and everyone else looked toward the other side of the wall. There, a figure gradually erged. She wore a wiring suit similar to Ellen's, carried an X-shaped thruster on her back, and held a giant magical cannon.
"Crap…"
The girl before them had a cute bob cut, and her petite body, wrapped in the wiring suit, had a delicate and well-proportioned shape. She looked like an honors student one might find in class. However, it was precisely this girl who made Mikoto feel a headache.
"Hi… na…"
Doma had never seen his daughter appear before him in such a state. Hina's eyes were utterly lifeless. Black spiritual power surrounded her body, and she held the massive magical cannon, aiming its barrel at him.
"That's Mordred!"
Origami recognized that CR-Unit. It was the powerful weapon she had once equipped in the world before history changed, using it to fight Tohka and the others.
"Hina… it's ! Your father!"
Doma tried to walk forward and embrace his daughter, but Shido grabbed him and stopped him. The current Hina was clearly not right. Obviously, that man nad Kojima had used so thod to control her.
Not only did Hina fail to respond to Doma's call, she instead pressed the trigger of the magical cannon.
Boom!
The cannon blast blood into dazzling light against the barrier.
"Ugh…"
Mikoto struggled to block the enemy's attack, but from her expression, one could see that this was not easy.
"That power is…"
Because she had worn Mordred before, Origami understood that Hina's power output was abnormal. Even if Origami herself wore that equipnt, it would be difficult to break through Mikoto's protection. Clearly, Hina's power did not co only from herself as a Wizard, but rather—
"Spirit power!"
Origami said uneasily.
Seeing that the cannon blast had been blocked, Hina raised one hand. The next instant, countless wires hidden beneath the floor, ceiling, and even inside the walls broke through steel and concrete, attacking everyone with snak -like flexibility.
"Amplification of the Wizard's body, as well as control over electronic devices."
While cutting apart the cables with her wings, Origami quickly analyzed Hina's abilities.
Although she did not possess a Spirit's unique Astral Dress or Angel, with just the power of a Wizard and the ability to control electronic devices obtained from the Electronic Spirit, she indeed possessed strength worthy of the na Spirit.
"Gabriel—Rondo!"
However, the Spirits were not helpless either. Miku used her voice to suppress Hina's body.
"Haniel!"
Natsumi turned the surrounding electronic devices into all kinds of candy.
"Now!"
Mikoto withdrew her barrier. The mont Hina was suppressed by the wall of sound, she quickly fled from that place together with everyone.
Although without Miku maintaining it personally, Hina soon broke free from the restraint, everyone had already left the laboratory and reached the outside.
They were only a little away from success. Everyone kept running forward without stopping.
"This is as far as you go!"
At that mont, a giant spear of light descended from the sky, tearing apart their path forward.
