“What’s a Magus Craft unit doing here now?! They weren’t happy with just leaving us to rot?!”

Kojou cursed his ill fortune as they fled deeper into the woods.

Since inheriting the power of the Fourth Primogenitor, Kojou had gotten wrapped up into different kinds of trouble, but being attacked by an armed platoon was a first for him. It was the type of experience he’d had rather gone through life without.

“Get down!”

Yukina thrust Kojou forward and leaped on top of him.

As Kojou and Yukina became entangled and fell forward, a hail of machine-gun bullets sailed over their heads. The air cried out as the bullets ripped through it, making slivers of the trees they passed through fall like rain.

The thin parka conveyed the feel of Yukina’s softness, but Kojou had no time to take notice. Both of them rolled among the large tree roots side by side.

“Not even a warning?! They just shot out of the blue…!”

“Live rounds, too…meaning, they have no intention of leaving either of us alive.”

The expression on Yukina’s face changed as she regripped her spear.

Even though they were clad in thick, full-plate armor, the Magus Craft soldiers moved swiftly.

They were quickly catching up with Yukina and Kojou despite the uncertain footing in the forest.

Judging that they would not be able to shake their pursuers off, Yukina turned decisively.

“Senpai, please hold on for fifteen seconds.”

Leaving those words behind for Kojou, she suddenly ran upon the ground, leaping into the dimly lit forest.

“Himeragi?! Whoa?!”

Perhaps detecting his location because of Yukina’s running off, bullet strikes grouped closer to where Kojou was hiding. A cloud of dust floated into the air, with sparks thrown off where bullets struck nearby boulders. Kojou couldn’t give Yukina any support; he couldn’t even lift his head up.

But the silver-colored light that twinkled from her made the gunfire, which he was starting to think would last forever, disappear.

“…Thunderclap!”

Yukina, swooping down from the treetops like a bird of prey, sent one of the armor-clad soldiers flying with a barefoot kick to the back of the head. Even the protection of thick armor did not alter in any way what the cervical vertebrae could bear, especially against a spell-enhanced blunt attack from Yukina that was capable of destroying the interior of a human body even through armor.

Her kick, which could fell even a stout beast man with one blow, easily sent the soldier flying. Furthermore, Yukina flashed her spear out before touching the ground. She severed the soldiers’ rifles in two, using the butt of her spear to beat them down. It had all happened in an instant; Kojou hadn’t even had time to blink.

“You okay, Himeragi?!” Finally freed from the concentrated gunfire, Kojou ran over to Yukina and the four fallen soldiers.

But Yukina leaped back with a look of shock on her face. “Senpai, it’s not over yet!”

“…Eh?!”

A soldier clad in black full-plate armor rose up before Kojou’s eyes. Its neck, broken by Yukina’s kick, remained at an impossibly bent angle. Even so, it showed no sign of registering pain.
