The elf who started the battle

Then, just when Shidou was about to reply, a high-pitched voice came from deep in the corridor.

"Hey, you Itsuka-san, Yatogami-san, and Murasame-sensei, please don't stay there. If you don't evacuate as soon as possible, there will be danger."

Shidou's mentor, Tsumue Okamine, nicknamed Xiaozhu, was raising his small shoulders and speaking in an anxious tone, the meaning of the sentence was a bit messy.

"Well, we'll be in trouble if we get caught. Let's go."

After Lingyin looked around for a while, he headed towards the entrance.

"Uh, ah, wait"

Although I am a little worried, there is nothing I can do about it.

Shidou muttered for a while and raked his hair randomly with his hands, then took Tohka's hand and handed it to Kozu-sensei.

"Teacher, I leave it to you Tohka."

"Uh-huh, okay, of course."

Xiaozhu, who was suddenly asked to take care of Tohka, said with her eyes widened in surprise: "Because I am a teacher" and nodded in agreement.

"Shido"

Tohka seemed to feel a little uneasy and slowly frowned.

"Tohka, listen to Luo and follow the teacher to the shelter."

"What about Shido?"

"Ah, I have something important to deal with. So you go over there first, okay?"

"Ah Shi Shi Do"

"Where are you going, Itsuka-san and Murasame-sensei?"

Hearing the worried voices of the two people behind them, Shidou and Reine ran outside the school building.

"Ah, you two are here. The elf will appear soon. Please make preparations for Ling Yin."

As soon as Shidou and Reine arrived at the bridge of the <Flaxinas>, they immediately heard what Kotori said while sitting in the captain's seat.

"Yes."

Lingyin nodded slightly, turned up the hem of his white clothes, and sat in the seat in front of the console under the bridge.

"So"

Then Kotori tilted her head slightly and asked the silent Shidou.

"I'm sorry that I can't give you too much time. But have you made a decision, Shidou?"

Shidou held his breath.However, at this moment, a piercing siren sounded in the bridge.

"What happened?"

"Confirmed to be a very powerful spiritual wave reaction. The elves are here."

Just as Shidou's eyes widened in panic, a male crew member's voice came from below the bridge.

After hearing this, Kotori snapped her fingers.

"OK, switch the main screen to the screen where the location is predicted to appear."

Immediately after Kotori gave the order, the main screen started playing a video overlooking the street. "

It was a big road lined with many shops.Naturally, there were no souls in sight on the streets and it looked like a ghost town.

The center of the picture suddenly begins to distort.

"what"

Shidou thought for a moment that there was a problem with the screen that played the video.

But that is not the case.

but space.

In the originally empty space, ripples suddenly appeared like a stone dropped on the water.

"what is that"

"Hey Shidou, haven't you seen it?"

Just as Kotori said these words, the distortion of the space gradually expanded.

Tiny points of light seemed to begin to appear on the screen.At this moment, with the sound of explosion, the screen turned into white.

Although he understood that it was just a screen image, Shidou still unconsciously covered his face with his arms.

Then, after a few seconds, when Shidou opened his eyes while suppressing his violently beating heartbeat, the screen already reflected a completely different scene from the one before.

There was a big hole in the street, that was the only way Shidou could describe it.

Until just now, there were still many buildings standing on both sides of the main road.However, part of the road has now been shaved into a shallow slice.

The shops, streetlights, telephone poles, and even the asphalt pavement that should have existed in that place disappeared without a trace.

Then, perhaps due to the aftermath of the explosion, the surrounding scenery looked like a scene after a strong typhoon.

This scene is very similar to the place where Tohka and Hina met about a month ago.

In other words, the current situation is

"Space Shock"

Shidou said this with a trembling voice.Kotori nodded and replied:

"Yes, the spatial distortion caused by the elves appearing in this world is the main cause of sudden disasters."

Although he often saw ruined streets, this was the first time Shidou witnessed an explosion.

The palms of my hands began to become sweaty.

The situation that I originally tried to explain with my brain was finally fully understood through actual experience.

The streets and the space in which people live are all destroyed in an instant, which is the horror of that kind of disaster.

"Oh, but this explosion is considered small-scale."

"You are right."

Then, Kotori and the deputy commander Kannazuki Kyohei, a tall man who was accompanying the rear, spoke.

"It's a fluke, I want to say so, but if the other party is a hermit, it should be about this size."

"Hey, that's right, because he is the docile type among the elves."

Shidou held his forehead in silence. The explosion just now was considered a small-scale explosion.

At this moment, Shidou couldn't understand what Kotori and the others said, but he immediately reconsidered.

This is no wonder, because the scale of the space earthquake just now was only a few dozen meters at best. For them, the damage was indeed relatively minor.Of course, even if the brain understands it, the heart cannot calm down.

"Hey, Kotori."

Then, Shidou found an interesting word in the conversation between Kotori and the others, so he asked aloud:

"What does the hermit you just mentioned mean?"

"Ah, that's the code name of the elf who just appeared. Can you please enlarge the screen a moment?"

Kotori gave instructions to the crew below the bridge.As a result, the crew immediately pushed forward the image and quickly approached the pothole formed in the center of the street.

Then, as the camera zooms in closer, changes begin to occur in the picture.

"rain"

Shidou murmured softly.

That's right.Just as the picture suddenly darkened, it started to rain sparsely.

But after a while, Shidou stopped paying attention to this change.Because in the center of the ground that looked like a crater dug into a meteorite, Shidou Ryo spotted the figure of a petite girl.

Then, at this moment, a loud roaring sound suddenly came from the loudspeaker installed on the bridge of Fraxinas.

"What, what on earth is this?"

"We are not the only ones who have appeared and started carrying out tasks."

Hearing Kotori's words, Shidou's fingers twitched.

"Ast?"

"Yes."

Looking at the screen, the girl was called a hermit elf, and the place where she was just now was filled with smoke.I'm afraid it was hit by a missile or something.Then, several people wearing heavy mechanical armor were floating in the sky around the pothole.

The Ground Self-Defense Force versus the Elf Force, or ast for short.Unlike Kotori and his group, Ratatosk, the AST is a special forces unit whose goal is to annihilate the elves by force.

Then, a petite figure jumped out of the smoke. It was the Hermit. She flew in the air with her left hand raised, then turned around and passed through the gap between the AST players who were defending all around, and leaped into the sky.However, the AST team members responded immediately and began to track the hermit. Then, they directly used the weapons equipped on their bodies to fire a large number of bullets.

"Danger"

Shidou reflexively yelled, but the warning on the screen had no effect at all.Countless missiles and bullets fired by the AST team members ruthlessly shot into the body of the hermit.

"Those guys did this to a little girl"

Shidou's eyes widened and he gritted his teeth.

"It's already this time, why are you still saying this?"

""

So, Kotori narrowed her eyes and continued:

"Didn't you learn this when Tohka and Hina first appeared in the world? For Ast, it doesn't matter which form the elves appear in. All they have is the sense of mission to protect the world, and the ability to eliminate Endangering the existence of human beings, the survival instinct that living things should have.

“That’s it”

The moment Shidou spoke, the girl leapt from the smoke into the sky again.

However, the hermit did not fight back and just kept running away.

"Isn't that kid going to fight back?"

That's right.They are always like this.The Hermit is also the gentlest among the elves. "

"That"

However, at this moment, the situation changed again.

I saw a white mist gradually rising, covering the entire battlefield.

"This is Hina's ability"

"Is Hina going to intervene too?"

Kotori said this while biting the double stick in her mouth.
