“I won’t let that happen!”

With Laura only a hair’s breadth away from Rin, she used her own Starlight Mk.III as a shield to deflect the blow. At the same time, Rin fired her own waist-mounted missile bits at Laura.

KA-BOOM!

The missiles launched in a close-ranged attack, which she surely knew would engulf them both. The explosion caught Rin and Cecilia, throwing them to the ground.

“What was that supposed to be?”

“Save the complaints for later. Anyway, that should have been enough to—”

Cecilia cut off partway through her sentence.

“.........”

The smoke cleared, revealing Laura. She floated unperturbedly, as if even the brunt of the explosion had left her unscathed.

“Is that all? Then, it’s my turn.”

As she spoke, she swooped downward toward the pair, kicking Rin out of the way as she opened fire on Cecilia from close range. Her wire blades caught each of them in midair, dragging them each toward her. From there, the brutalization began.

“AHHHH!”

Laura’s punches rained down upon their arms, their legs, their bodies. Their shield energy drained swiftly, through the red zone of an IS’ limits, and into the dead zone of risk to the pilot themselves. Eventually their IS would automatically retract, leaving their very lives in danger.

Still, Laura’s assault continued. She continued to punch, to kick, to tear Rin and Cecilia’s IS armor apart. As I watched her normally expressionless face twist into vicious glee, something inside me burst past its limit.

“ARGH!”

I deployed my Byakushiki, taking the Yukihira Nigata in my hand and focused all my energy into it as I activated Reiraku Byakuya. Energy flared far beyond the length of its physical blade as I bashed it against the arena’s barrier. Reiraku Byakuya pierced it, as it negated almost any kind energy, and I slipped through the hole it left. At the same time as I entered firing range, I activated Ignition Boost. Using it at the same time as Reiraku Byakuya was at full power may as well have been a banzai charge. Byakushiki was energy-thirsty at the best of times, and with the added consumption, its shields quickly drained. But I had no time to think about that.

“Let go of them!”

I brought my blade down toward Laura, who was still holding Rin and Cecilia.

“Hmph. As emotional as you are simple. The very picture of a fool.”

A moment before Reiraku Byakuya’s energy struck, my body froze solid. Laura’s uncovered eye suddenly turned upward and fixated on me.

“What the— Ugh, my body...”

My body refused to cooperate, as if unseen hands were grasping it. My arms remained raised, and soon, Reiraku Byakuya’s energy blade began to fade.

“You’re no match for me. Compared to the Schwarzer Regen, you’re nothing more than cannon fodder. Now, disappear.”

Her shoulder cannon swiveled, and I stared down its barrel.

—Dammit!

“Ichika! Get back!”

Charles shouted over a private channel as she unleashed a rain of bullets from akimbo assault rifles.

“Tch. Another nobody.”

The unseen force holding me back disappeared, and I regained control of my body. I quickly picked Rin and Cecilia up to carry them away from Laura.
