4 - A Battle That Lasts Forever

“They went to the moon?” Lily said in surprise.

After delivering the shuttle to orbit, Hiroshi returned to Lily’s base. It was a corner of a warehouse district where she and several other priests were hiding.

“Yes. I hope it goes well,” Hiroshi answered.

They were in the office of the warehouse. Hiroshi, Lily, and Fujiko were standing in front of a desk made from piles of cardboard boxes.

“I’d love to say that knowing Akuto, it will work just fine...” Fujiko said, looking at Lily with a depressed expression.

“I know what you mean,” Lily said with a nod. “If we don’t see a dramatic change at the point where Keisu’s supposed to have arrived, we can assume it likely failed.”

“Wait, why? Even if Keisu can’t seal Zero, Boss and the others will be up there on the moon,” Hiroshi said a little angrily, but Lily shook her head.

“There’s very little mana and no energy on the moon. Their power was equal on Earth. And Zero and Akuto’s power will be equal on the moon too. Except this time, they’ll be equally powerless.”

“Which means...” Hiroshi began, not at all sure what that meant.

“There’s a good chance there’s nothing that can be done,” Lily said, annoyed.

“Then...”

“Akuto won’t die, but there’s a good chance he’ll return home without accomplishing anything. Which means we’ll be stuck with the job of defeating Kazuko. So, is that information I gave you useful?” Fujiko turned to Lily, who nodded.

The information she was referring to was the information that Lily had learned by having her priests capture Issei, the leader of the black mages.

“It looks like that information he gave us on where Kazuko was likely to hide is accurate. They interrogated him pretty hard. But he really doesn’t seem to know where she went. We’re looking for her now.”

“But still, Kazuko’s real weapon is her popularity, and that’s invisible. She won’t be able to achieve her goals without appearing somewhere. After the explosion, the theory that she’s dead is gaining strength, so tomorrow she’ll probably show up. I know your priests are useless, but there’s limits to my patience. You need to find her soon,” Fujiko said, sounding fed up.

Lily scowled. “Hah. You and I have similar personalities, so I know exactly what you’re thinking, I guess. Just practice using those demon beasts so you don’t screw up controlling them. Don’t make my priests handle the Liradans. Let your doggies do it.”

“I see you’re really ticked off about Kazuko kicking your ass, then.”

“Somebody who turns tail and runs when she sees a tough opponent wouldn’t know how that feels, I guess. Do you normally betray the guy you said you loved and then just turn tail and run?”

Fujiko and Lily glared at one another.

“S-Stop it you two!” Hiroshi got between them, and both of them turned their glares toward him.

“You go play with your failed idol girlfriend! You can’t fight now that they found out your weak point!”

“The reason you’re less popular than Kazuko is that you’re such a loser!”

Hiroshi shrank.
