"...Hoh... Not attacking, but choosing complete defense, huh."
In the VIP suite of the Tengu City Imperial Hotel. Westcott, lounging on the sofa, watched the battle between Ellen and the Fraxinus on the screen and couldn't help but sigh in surprise.
"Indeed. Although the charge and cooldown tis of Goetia's magic cannons are quite short, their power isn't much greater than a normal airship's. And if they just stay in place and remain vigilant, no matter how physics defying Goetia's mobility is, it's just making unnecessary movents. To be able to make such a prompt decision and take counterasures specifically against the characteristics of Ellen and Goetia... The commander of that airship is quite excellent."
Figuring this out, Westcott nodded with a hint of admiration.
However, even so, if they hadn't known about Goetia beforehand, no matter how excellent the commander, they couldn't have formulated such a targeted strategy in such a short ti.
As for when the intel on his secret weapon was leaked. The only thing Westcott could think of was when DEM had a massive amount of data stolen by Hacker a year ago.
"Being exploited like that back then was truly a massive miscalculation."
Despite saying so, Westcott's face didn't show much annoyance.
Taking a bottle of expensive wine from the wine cabinet, Westcott used a corkscrew to pull out the cork. He poured himself a small glass and tasted it elegantly while watching the fierce battle on the screen. It was as if he were leisurely enjoying an exciting play.
However, no matter how thorough the defense, that airship itself would definitely suffer considerable damage. But Ellen also had a ti limit for piloting Goetia and couldn't engage in a war of attrition.
Westcott silently analyzed the battle. If nothing unexpected happened, this battle would end inconclusively.
"Well then. Next, let's see how my confident rookie Wizard handles Ryougi Yutsuki, shall we?"
With a bit of anticipation and curiosity, Westcott switched the screen's view.
"This is..."
Looking at the scene displayed on the screen, an intrigued smile curled Westcott's lips.
_________________________
The mont Yutsuki fled, Origami imdiately reacted and gave chase. Using the entire city of Tengu as a stage, a fierce ga of tag ensued.
Although Yutsuki's escape speed was indeed very fast, since she had only deployed a partial Astral Dress, she wasn't much faster than Tobiichi Origami, who was equipped with the latest version of the CR-Unit.
Setting the output of the X-shaped thrusters to maximum and utilizing the massive acceleration brought by the powerful thrust. In just ten seconds, Origami had closed in right behind Yutsuki.
However, just as Origami was preparing to attack Yutsuki, sothing unexpected happened.
Along the streets of the shopping district, a ran shop and an udon shop, which should have been completely empty, suddenly shot countless noodles at Origami.
"What is this?"
Long periods of hard training allowed Origami to react imdiately. She nimbly dodged the entangling noodles and swung her beam sword, slicing them to pieces. But taking advantage of this brief opening, Yutsuki once again pulled away from Origami.
But it didn't end there.
Vegetable missiles like carrots and potatoes that spewed massive amounts of sleeping gas; pachinko machines suddenly malfunctioning and shooting out a barrage of steel balls; unknown liquids that reduced the ground's friction coefficient to below 0.001; a large herd of cattle that sohow broke out of so farm and rampaged through the streets.
It was as if the entire city was against Origami. Whenever Origami was about to catch up to Yutsuki, bizarre and sudden accidents would conveniently happen around her. Under the interference of these annoying obstacles, Origami couldn't catch Yutsuki at all.
After this chase, not only did Origami fail to catch Yutsuki, but she was also battered by those chaotic traps, wasting a lot of unnecessary stamina.
Then, Yutsuki turned a corner entering the comrcial district and disappeared from Origami's line of sight. When Origami tried to catch up again, she found that the corner had been blocked by a tall building, turning it into a dead end.
Before she could figure out how to find the Yutsuki she had lost track of, Origami was surprised to find that at so point, the arrangent of the surrounding buildings had completely changed. It was vastly different from the roads depicted on the map of Tengu City in her mory.
Seemingly realizing sothing, Origami frowned slightly.
"Date City, huh..."
According to DEM's data, Date City was a ground facility specially established in Tengu City by Fraxinus for conquering Spirits. Depending on the situation, by altering the city's structure, it could rapidly switch scenes, helping with the conquest or eliminating interference from unpredictable external factors.
She rembered encountering a similar situation when she was still in the AST.
As for why Date City was still operational now? Origami was only confused for a mont before she understood. Even if the crew of the Fraxinus were currently tied up by Ellen Mira Mathers, for Yutsuki, the most dangerous Spirit, acting as a proxy for the Fraxinus main computer to maintain the airship's operation was a piece of cake. Controlling Date City was naturally not an issue for her.
[Hahaha—What's wrong, Origami? Didn't you want to kill ? Why can't you even catch up to now?]
"Damn it..."
Hearing the heavily mocking laughter coming from the broadcasts, even the normally expressionless Origami couldn't help but grit her teeth in frustration.
"Phew..."
Slowly exhaling, Origami gradually cald down.
Undoubtedly, catching Ryougi Yutsuki now was impossible. After all, inside this Date City, it was completely Yutsuki's ho turf.
But the weakness of this Date City was also very obvious. The traps set here were only at the level of harassnt and were not dangerous at all. It was fine for helping Yutsuki dodge Origami's pursuit, but it was unrealistic to use it to help Yutsuki defeat Origami.
So that's why Ryougi Yutsuki didn't fight her and chose to run away?
After thinking for a mont, Origami formulated a plan.
Since she couldn't catch her, she would make Yutsuki co out and fight her herself.
"Ryougi Yutsuki, didn't you want to know Shido's whereabouts?"
[Oh? What's wrong? Trying to lure out? Too bad. I'm not that easy to fool.]
"Then, what if I told you Shido has already been killed by ?"
Origami exhaled and said in a chilling tone.
[Pfft—Hahahaha!]
Hearing Origami's words, bursts of laughter instantly ca from the broadcast. Origami could imagine the other party clutching her stomach and laughing out loud right now.
[Stop joking around, Origami. Your lie is completely unconvincing. Do you think I don't know what kind of position Shido holds in your heart? If Shido really died, let alone coming to hunt down, you probably wouldn't even have the strength to fight.]
Hearing that Yutsuki clearly didn't believe she killed Shido, Origami wasn't anxious. Instead, she continued:
"I tied Shido up and *BEEP* him."
[...]
"Not only *BEEP*, I also used *BEEP* to *BEEP* Shido's *BEEP*. Then I *BEEP*, and *BEEP*, and also *BEEP*. Finally, I used my back *BEEP* to forcefully *BEEP* Shido's *BEEP*."(TL:dawg wtf, girl calm down)
Listening to Origami say a bunch of heavily censored lines with a very refreshing and serious expression, the corner of Yutsuki's mouth twitched slightly.
She had to admit, if it was Tobiichi Origami, she might actually do it.
After a mont of silence, Yutsuki chuckled, shrugged, and replied:
[So what? Isn't that a good thing? Although the fact that it's you makes silently mourn for Shido for three seconds... but still, graduating from virginity under a beautiful girl is a cause for celebration. When I get ho, I'll have to prepare red rice to properly celebrate~]
Seeing that Yutsuki remained unmoved, Origami calmly added,
"By the way, during the *BEEP*, I made Shido wear won's clothes."(TL:dawg origami really know how to ragebait)
Boom—!
As soon as her words fell, an orange yellow beam shot towards Origami at three tis the speed of sound. After dodging the Railgun with an agile backward jump, Origami looked up along the trajectory of the projectile. Yutsuki was currently standing on the roof of a building, the pincer shaped cannon fixed in her hand emitting faint smoke.
"Sorry, Kotori-chan... but as a human, there are bottom lines that absolutely cannot be crossed."
After muttering to herself in a bone-chilling tone, Yutsuki looked at Origami. Like an asura or rakshasa from hell, her eyes were filled with piercing killing intent.
"Let's do this, Tobiichi Origami! Today, either you die—or I perish!"
Origami: "..."
