The Hero Who Returned Remains the Strongest in the Modern World - Chapter 96

Side: Morishita Daiki

The same day after school.

There was something to talk about so Abeno-senpai and Lela called me to come to the forest park.

So, currently… Me, Abeno-senpai and Lela are sitting on a bench in the forest park like always.

“Hey, Morishita-kun? It’s about your little sister but…”

“Eh? About Maria? We might’ve talked earlier by accident however, she is always staying out at night and comes home in the morning so I’m troubled.”

“That’s right, and—”

Abeno-senpai made a contemplating expression and I interrupted her with saying.

“Ah, that’s right, I too have something to talk about.”

“Eh? Talk about what?”

“It has become that I have to go to Okinawa for a while…”

“Okinawa? Why?”

“The truth is…”

After explaining the story from beginning to end, Lela opened her eyes wide.

“Ninja? Did you really get in contact with a ninja?”

“Yeah”

And blood was draining from Lela’s expression.

“Oi, what happened Lela?”

Lela kneeled on the spot and her voice was mixed with sobbing.

“Ai…ee…”

“Oi, really what’s wrong Lela?”

“Aiee… Why… is there… a ninja?”

Her face was pale and she was shaking.

Not good, she had fallen into the same state as Seraphina-sensei did.

Rather, foreigners… Vatican’s members are a bit too afraid of ninjas.

“You’re exaggerating.”

And I changed my gaze to Abeno-senpai.

When I did so, Abeno-senpai’s body little by little began to shake and with eyes open while foam coming from the mouth.

“Aieeee… Why… why… is.. there… a ninja?”

“You too!?”

Anyhow… I think.

Abeno-senpai being this afraid means—

—-Ninja might actually be serious dangerous fellows.

Next day’s lunch break—- School’s courtyard.

“Morishita Daiki has already gone to Okinawa, so what are you going to do?”

“Morishita is running out of MP. For recovery then Okinawa the ninja’s holy ground is appropriate. Naturally, there’s a huge difference in the depth of magic from here.”

“Even so… The opponent is a ninja? Even if you say he’s going to recover a significant amount of MP he’s going to deplete it again. No, if it’s done poorly… Then even a Hero…”

Abeno Kaguya shook her head left and right.

“That might be so, nevertheless I believe in Morishita-kun.”

“But, what will you do? It’s no longer a situation where we can ask for cooperation, you know? There’s only a few days to the singularity outbreak. The little sister is also hunting at full speed…”

“Magical Girl… There’s nobody but us to solve the human shura problem.”

“But, you know? Magical girls will flood the present world successively.”

“That’s right, that’s also one of the reasons why the witch hunt had been done. All the crazed magical girls from the previous singularity outbreaks will flow in the present world, and they will wreak havoc. But, for that sake, the singularity outbreak will happen when Himiko’s core which is a different dimension appears in this world… Conversely, it’s the only chance to hit the system.”

“Is it possible for just us? The person themself can’t notice at all what they are doing, right? Besides, if the situation escalates then we should expect intervention of organizations from the Vatican and Japan…”

“Anyhow—” Abeno Kaguya sighed.

“No other choice but to do it. Right now, we are… Like the Vatican would say, we are waiting for the meeting of the witches… The Sabbath.”

“But, was it fine not informing Maria-chan? Just one person is walking the dark road and a place at the end of the shura road is a place of rest. However, that is really…”

“Don’t make me repeat myself too much. You’ve already agreed to it, didn’t you? To make Morishita-kun’s sister a clown and to destroy the whole system— We have to wait for the outbreak of the Sabbath.”
