The Hero Who Returned Remains the Strongest in the Modern World - Chapter 101

Side: Morishita Maria

“Guaaaaaaaaaaa!”

Magical Girl style locking techniques.

The basics of this strategy is to entangle.

To make them think you’re specialized in long range and let their ground, and it’s fine if the opponent drops from the barrage, but if they breakthrough temporarily—

You’ll make a supra-rational locking technique to the conceited enemy.

And when there’s overwhelming damage done by the joint destruction a gap will come up and finish it with a saturated attack with Magical Girl’s original power.

This is the certain victory pattern that me and Maki-ane use against people.

“You did it, Maki-ane.”

“No, the opponent was better in raw ability. I can’t be proud about him just falling skilfully to martial arts. Besides, we need to move away from this place soon… If one more comes then I can’t deal with them. Besides… I used Second Burst again…”

Usage of Second Burst means using part of our physical functions will disappear today or tomorrow.

As our spirit was sinking, we felt overwhelming spiritual force from behind us.

“Maki…-ane?”

Maki-ane shook her head left and right and then smiled fleetingly.

“At any rate, it seems this is it for me.”

I turned around and there were 3 blond-haired men that were wearing white robes and were standing there.

“Who are you people?”

The men laughed at Maki-ane’s words.

“We’re dark exorcists that got a request from the Vatican. Since they couldn’t dispatch the burial they turned to us.”

My whole body is getting goosebumps.

So this is the real deal of exorcist organizations…

Finally, we were going to regret for simply attacking the Abeno main family.

It looks like Maki-ane is also thinking the same thing since her body is also shaking like mine.

“Well, three people have the same power as the opponent you were facing before… it’s fine to think of it as reinforcements. That power that you have is dangerous. Anyway, in the bottom parts of the underworld… The boundary line… You’ve gone beyond it without knowing fully what you’ve done.”

“Maki-ane? With my Second Burst…”

“Stop, even with that we can’t win.”

In fact in the earlier battle the application of using locking techniques as a surprise was great.

But, it can’t be used as a surprise attack at these people who had watched the earlier battle.

「……」

「……」

I and Maki-ane looked at each other and then silence came.

「……」

「……」

“It’s already over for me. That’s why, I’ll use Full Burst.”

“In that case, I…”

Maki-ane shook her head left and right with a loving expression.

“I’m certainly finished here. That’s why, you must stop the System…”

Maki-ane said it with tears in her eyes.

“You believed in me and followed me. With just that alone you made me happy. Besides, I know…”

“Know what?”

“You always cry before you go to sleep, right? You’re crying while cursing your own fate… Truthfully you do not want to live in this blood-ridden world. You’re really a tender girl…”

“Ma…ki…ane?”

“To protect you, I’ll wager my life… There’s no other reason than that. For a little while, you were like a little sister to me… I was really happy.”

*Fuu* Maki-ane smiled and she began to let loose the magical power in her body.

“That’s bad… If you do such as Full Burst… Then it will be disastrous for you!”

Maki-ane was being surrounded in a jet-black aura—- Piece by piece her frilly clothes disappear and it would be suiting to call her appearance half-nakedness.

Her whole body was clad in a torrent of power and Maki-ane gripped my shoulders firmly.

“I’m passing the Baton to you. I have a huge regret that I won’t be able to stand beside you when the System is crashed, but…”

“A, a, Ma…ki…ane”

Tears are overflowing.

After using Full Burst, she… She won’t be able to keep her sanity anymore.

As for tomorrow she’ll change into an old woman and her mind and chakra will be lost.

The person I’ve known is already…

“No more than this… Junior Magical Girls will be locked by a curse. You must definitely stop it. That’s your duty as a senior.”

「……」

「……」

「……」

“Your reply?”

“But, Maki-ane… That’s…”

“Reply?”

“……Yes”

Maki-ane smiled and hugged me gently.

“I’m delighted. It’s a good reply… And… Finally, I’m sorry that everything is pushed on you, Maria-chan”

Then, Maki-ane faced the three people.

“We just want to live. If you overlook it here then that’ll be the end.”

“This is a human shura… Unfortunately, that’s impossible. We have work, too.”

“If you’re going to take even the right to desire to just live then— I gladly accept the stigma of shura!”

And then, Maki-ane screamed along with her cry of the soul.

“I’m Sakanoue Maki, human shura of the Orient, a so-called Magical Girl! My final brilliance won’t be stopped by anyone! I’ll turn everything into a burning power! Here, I go!”

Then, finally she changed literally into a human shura, the Magical Girl finally after a fierce battle sent the Vatican’s assassins to oblivion.

—-After that.

I kept walking alone in the middle of the night.

I’ve accomplished to stay away from the Vatican and Amaterasu’s assassins, even if I got ragged.

Even if I lose the sense of taste and seeing colour in both of my eyes.

My heart has already been broken from treating feces of the completely changed Maki-ane.

Despite that, I’ll keep walking this path.

Even if my family is worried.

Even if I receive scolding from my Onii-chan whenever I see his face.

That can’t be helped, since to maintain the Kindergarten I’ve used both of my parents money.

But, this too is almost to an end.

Many things and hated things will soon end.

—I’ll bring them to an end.

Top floor of Yokohama’s landmark tower.

I jump from the rooftop and I blend in the jewelry neon-like lights in the night view.

For dancing in the night city.

“Tomorrow, the subjugated number of monsters will reach 100, 000… And then, the system’s core will get dragged down to this world— I’ll put everything to an end.”

Late at night.

I wore magical clothes and held Longinus.

And then, Abeno Kaguya wore her miko clothes and had Bizen, too.

We’re mutually armed to the full, and we were waiting for the usual time at the forest park.

“By my hypothesis the singularity outbreak is today. But, will the little sister’s strategy go really well?”

“It shouldn’t go as planned. It’s a system that has continued for over 1000 years and even the strongest Magical Girls in history weren’t able to overturn it. What can she alone do?”

I know, right… and I sigh.

“The opponent is Himiko’s clone. And then, the overflowing place with chaotic Magical Girls who’ve become puppets… If it’s as usual, then she’ll lose. Certainly it’s the only chance for an all-out attack on the opponent who’s on the different dimension but she refused my intervention.”

“Well, the organizations we belong to seem to have intervened a lot… It’s only natural she’ll mistrust us.”

“However, we really want to intervene in the singularity?”

*Un* Me and Abeno Kaguya nodded to each other.

“It’s fine if she doesn’t accept us. In that case, then she is going to help in our intervention.”

“Un. Us with our own method—”

Me and Abeno Kaguya had been saved by Morishita Daiki.

That time, if he didn’t show up with his metal bat in one hand, I and this woman wouldn’t be able to smile as usual.

That’s right, naturally whenever I remember the happy, sad and angry every day and him, my chest hurts… I wouldn’t be able to live such an usual life.

That’s why, we’ll devote ourselves to the guy’s little sister and—

“We’ll definitely save her!”
