When the Juggernaut Comes To the Second Dimension

"...What do you see me doing? Ah, I see!"

Shidou Wuhe didn't say anything, and Tohka spoke first, but she seemed a little wary. And this sudden act of nodding to himself to indicate that he had guessed made Shidou Wuhe a little puzzled as to what the girl had guessed, and worried that the other party guessed that he was thinking something wrong and wanted them all to fall in love with him.

It's just... Tohka's next sentence made him stunned.

"—If you want chocolate, buy it yourself! If you want to grab it, step over my body first!"

Tohka, who stood up suddenly, just waved her hand across the air and swiped on the ground, and then drew a terrifying long mark, causing Wuhe Shidou to jump back subconsciously to avoid accidentally hurting his foot.

This sudden intimidation made Shidou Wuhe, who was extremely tense, unable to help but complain with a livid face.

"Who wants that kind of thing? I don't want that kind of thing! It's even less likely that someone would kill for that kind of thing!"

"Really? ... What's the matter with you then?"

Hearing that the other party was not here to grab the chocolate, Tohka felt a little relieved, and instead asked Yong Ye with vigilance.

"I think, no, it's us..."

Shidou Wuhe prepared his words, and cautiously wanted to say it as well as possible, but he stood up before Yongye finished speaking, and looked at Yongye's gaze, even a dull person could feel it in those empty pupils. The negative emotions he felt made him feel that this Yong Ye seemed to be a different person and was captured by his momentum, and he couldn't help but forget what he wanted to say for a while.

So, Yong Ye spoke instead of him.

"...It's okay to go and have a look...Let's lead the way."

"Hey? I haven't said what I'm going to do...?"

"But I heard your conversation."

"Hey, hey??? I heard!"

"...Nothing strange, right? Don't waste your time, let's go."

"Oh, oh, okay, come with me..."

…

above the school.

When the AST of the elf troops, which often appeared late, arrived at the center of the space where the earthquake occurred, they found nothing but the usual ruins.

The elf that should exist did not appear here, and even the elf's reaction disappeared without a trace for some reason.

"...running quite fast... elf."

One of the AST members, a girl with short silver hair, glanced around and couldn't find the appearance of a spirit, her expression changed a little, and she clenched her teeth subconsciously.

As a unit established with the main policy of annihilating spirits by force, AST has not achieved much since its establishment. The cases of spirits being repelled due to AST's actions are actually not reported except for the sake of budget. exist.

Although there are occasional similar reports on the TV station, there is actually no real achievement. Others may accept this with peace of mind, but Origami has no way to accept this kind of thing.

"Don't make such a scary face, Origami."

Noticing the change in Origami's expression, her leader, Hibakata Ryoko, couldn't help sighing, and spread out his hands like a cliché.

"Isn't it good that the elves have disappeared? Try to keep the damage to a minimum and let them leave as early as possible. That's actually our real job. Since the other party has left before they fight, that's great. Ah, we don't need to take unnecessary risks."

"...Destroying the Spirit is the AST's mission!"

"But you should know very well what the situation is with those monsters, right? We are limited in what we can do, and the superiors don't actually expect us to defeat the elves, because they also know very well what we have equipped, and it is impossible to defeat the elves at all."

"..."

Knowing what the captain said, Origami was silent and did not plan to say anything to the captain, because she knew that no matter what she said, it would not change, whether it was the current situation or the captain and teammates.

The rest of the AST members around, all cast their eyes elsewhere at this time. They have heard this topic many times, and now they all understand that this is just a meaningless conversation, and they also don't plan to intervene in it.

Neither side can convince the other. The most powerful team members and captains are not good to offend anyone. Naturally, silence is better. Anyway, this debate will not be fruitful.

At this low altitude, end the meaningless argument, start preparing to retreat and report to the superior as usual, saying that after the battle, the AST of the elves was repelled.

...on the airship that is still in stealth.

Twenty minutes ago, on the table and chairs at the top of the bridge, she was a student of Yongye. Now, a girl with a bright red military uniform and a lollipop on her shoulders greeted the three of them with a smile on her face.

"Welcome to Fraxinus, the elf teacher, and the elf girl."

"...If you have anything, just say it directly. It's pointless to try and be polite like this."

"Hey... It's really unexpected, but the reaction you expected is too cold, isn't it, teacher?"

She cut into the subject in cold words without the slightest greeting, or mocked her, which made Kotori frown as she complained.

Yong Ye is not good at dealing with origami, and she is not good at dealing with Yong Ye. If she can, she really doesn't want to meet Yong Ye, but there is no way to do it. Besides her, there is no suitable candidate.

However, the reason why Yongye Club came up was because there was Origami in AST. He didn't want to meet Origami at this time. Similarly, he didn't have much interest in Kotori's invitation, purpose or motivation for the time being.

"...If I'm passionate about you, you'll just feel weird, right?"

"Well! If you post it enthusiastically, I'll kick you out!"

With a cute smile, Kotori said mean things instinctively.

"...Well, then I should really be glad."

She didn't take the child's words seriously and planned to care. Yong Ye just rubbed her head casually, as if she was facing a kid who was joking... Judging from the age and identities of both parties, it was really What's the matter.

It's just... Yong Ye's elder behavior made this junior high school girl look like she had eaten a fly, and waved her hand and slapped his hand.

Yong Ye didn't react to this behavior, or because it was inconvenient to put his hand on the shoulder of a child, so he was used to putting his hand on other people's heads, and he was also used to being thrown away, so he simply retracted his hand.

And it was this bland attitude that made Kotori, who was actually somewhat worried about what would happen to him, shrugged his shoulders with a sigh of relief, and let out a sigh.

"Let's talk alone, I want to discuss with you, or make a deal."

Glancing at Tohka, who was observing the environment, Kotori, who needed to keep the conversation somewhat secret from the rest of the elves for a while, chose to communicate alone.

"...It doesn't matter, then Tohka can play here."

"I want to go too!"

"...will be back soon."

Tohka raised her hand to express her desire to follow, but Yong Ye just stroked her head, causing Tohka to have a completely different reaction from Kotori. She bowed her head embarrassedly and became annoyed.

"Mum... If it's just a moment, it's okay,"

Yong Ye only left temporarily, but Tohka showed an uneasy expression, as if there was a fear of being alone, and at the same time, there was dependence on him... or the kind of attachment between children and their caregivers?
