I made it.

Niko still exists in this world.

The instant Mihaya set eyes upon Scarlet Rain, captive on the black cross, a smoothly liquid relief rose up in her chest. But a fraction of a second later, overwhelming rage set flame to that liquid.

Rain’s armor was cruelly splintered, and she was unconscious—no light in her eye lenses. On top of that, she was crucified like a historical criminal receiving the death penalty, her arms spread wide. Mihaya would never forgive this treatment of the Red King, the leader of Prominence. Never.

Propelled by the flames of rage burning inside her, Mihaya forgot the pain in her left shoulder from Argon Array’s laser and let out a roar. She sank down, preparing to leap the three stories from the roof to Black Vise, Rain’s captor. But she managed to control herself, somehow.

Vise and Argon stood together in the center of a courtyard about fifty meters on each side, while Silver Crow, Lime Bell, and Cyan Pile were lined up along the east side. The three junior members of Nega Nebulus boldly faced the two execs of the Acceleration Research Society and their unfathomable abilities. This battle didn’t belong to Mihaya alone. Silver Crow had continued to chase Vise to this place; he had earned the right to start this fight.

She turned her eyes toward Niko once more and vowed in her heart to save her before jumping almost straight down. She cut across the courtyard to Crow’s side and offered a brief apology for keeping them waiting.

In fact, it had taken longer than she’d expected to reach this place. Everything had been good up to the point she charged into the shadow tunnel after getting help from Cyan Pile and Lime Bell, but she’d gotten separated from them in the total darkness and been carried to a different exit.

However, fortunately—she supposed—she caught sight of Argon running ahead of her in the gloomy corridor, so she followed her, taking care not to be noticed, and made it through the mazelike basement. Argon discovered her not long after they came aboveground, but she apparently prioritized meeting up with Vise; she just kept running, instead of attacking Mihaya with her lasers. So Mihaya had managed to regroup with her comrades in the place of the final battle.

The fact that the Acceleration Research Society headquarters was this bright and large—and apparently a large school in the real world—had surprised her, but they could spend the day analyzing this information later. At the moment, she had to focus on crushing the two tough enemies before her to get Niko back. The Black King and the group they’d left at Midtown had to have made it to the nearest leave point by then, but no matter how they hurried, it would take at least three seconds to return to the real world through the portal, move their flesh-and-blood bodies, and pull out Niko’s cable. That was fifty minutes on this side—it would be great if they could crush Vise and his crew before then, but even if they couldn’t, they had to at least protect Rain.
