Apocalypse Dark Elf Style -Magical Tribes Reincarnated in the Modern World

I grabbed a broken and fallen trunk by my side and swung it at Yuika’s RV as an improvised weapon. The reach was long, but as expected, it was smashed midway by the anti-human mace EFM. It was not durable enough.

In desperation, I picked up a rock and threw it at her, but it was either avoided or even smashed. I knew this from my previous lessons, but the agility of Yuika’s RV surpassed mine.

My sweat won’t stop leaking out. I was thirsty as hell. The impact of the crash caused an EF leakage, so the remaining EF in the cavalry must be low. The indicator was broken, so I could only guess, but I could feel it. I can’t keep going on like this for long.

How to get out of this situation? What should I do to counter that EFM mace?

An unpopulated forest. Modern weaponry. Anything that has even the slightest chance of working.

There’s no time to lose…!

Making up my mind instantly, I controlled the RV to make a final dash. Not moving forward, but to the side.

“I’m not going to let you get away!”

She rushes in. As expected. I had a plan, but in order to do that, I needed to get behind her. I considered moving in a circle, but the risk was too great in the current EF fuel situation.

The direction of the RV was to the side, but when she swung the mace, her blow caused the RV to turn forward at once. I avoided the mace that grazed right next to the RV. Stepping further forward – moving to her back side, but in this situation, it will be over with a blow if she turns around. I continued on my way without stopping.

“Where are you going…!”

I could hear the footsteps of the RV moving towards me. She’ll catch up with me soon enough. However, I just have to make the distance and get there first.

It’s the chase between RV knights.

Shortly after, my RV broke one of it’s knees and crouched down. It was then that Yuika stepped forward and swung her mace at my motionless head, hoping to strike a blow from behind.

Then I turned my RV around and held up something like a shield.

It made a dull sound and caught the mace…

It’s the front armor of the RV, which I had just ripped off myself to secure vision.

The armor strength of the RV, which is designed to fight against the radiant beast, is of course highest on the front, since that part is the most dangerous. That’s why it betted on it.

(But… damn it…!)

The violent swing was transmitted painfully to the arm. I sensed the overwhelming intimidation that came from the strike vibrations generated by the EF mechanism of the mace. I don’t think I can’t take this.

Then, I just have to do this while her momentum is down!

In this situation, I searched for the most powerful thing nearby. Something that can counter the mace.

That’s the RV. So I used the purged front armor as a shield. And if that still wasn’t enough, then.

The RV itself.

It was in shambles anyway, and it could have stopped working at any moment. There’s no other choice.

I moved forward as the front armor-like shield shattered, and the left arm of the cavalry stretched out to catch the tip of the mace grasping it directly.

The left hand of the RV bursts into flames with an ear-splitting noise. A terrible violence that crushes the complex mechanism. Like a human’s flesh being damaged, the milky white of the EF, which has regained its original color splattered like blood. The damage is enormous, but as long as it doesn’t reach the body seat, it’s fine!

I sacrificed my left hand to get closer, and used my free right arm to forcefully pull Yuika’s RV closer to me, and then jumped on it as if I was going to hit it. Now, what to do after this?

Then I had a spur-of-the-moment flash of inspiration.

Yuika’s RV still had frontal armor, and mine has none.

So I jumped out of the body seat in that state.

“…Eh?”

I thought I heard Yuika’s voice over the steel plate.

I clung to the RV’s front armor using the power of tree man’s grip, until the two RV’s were in close proximity, like a sumo wrestling match.

The RV was also engineered with a forced ejection system in case the driver became unconscious inside. Normally, this would be performed externally using a device and in accordance with a series of procedures similar to a puzzle.

That procedure was already in my mind, and my fingers were now transformed as wrenches, pliers, and a jack. With all these tools in place, it’ll be easy.

While Yuika’s mace was destroying my body seat, I was forcing open Yuika’s front hatch.

Bolts burst open. The armor ripped off by gravity. And after that.

“────!?”

I saw Yuika in the flesh, looking surprised and shocked.

I grabbed the side of the enemy RV and held onto it. I then swung my entire body into the Yuika’s RV seat and reached down and tore off her harness. I also grabbed Yuika’s riding gear and yanked it out by force…

Our two bodies slammed into the ground with a loud bang. I rolled away from the RV with all the force I could muster, and held her down.

Her riding gear was torn off by the current movement, and her face was stained with dirt. Her hair was sticking to her wet forehead. The smell of fresh perspiration. The fact that it is so close to me, I can feel the lack of muscles and the fragility of her thin body.

─I felt as if I was touching the real Biwatani Yuika for the first time.

We both breathe hard and look at each other.

A girl and a boy. Biwatani Yuika and Asakura Rensuke. The partner of a slime and the partner of a dark elf.

One who was ready to kill, and one who may or may not be.

“Now… It has already been 5 minutes. What now? Do you want to have a fistfight?”

The two RVs that had lost their drivers collapsed on top of each other.

I can’t take my eyes off her.

“You really are an idiot.”

With coldness, mockery, and pity, and somewhat helplessly, she said.

“Just because you didn’t die in the crash, and drag me out like this, do you think you’re lucky?　No, you’re not. You’re out of luck.”

“What?”

“Really. You really think that I am working alone, don’t you?”

Yuika did not show any signs of violence or escape from my restraints.

As if to say, there was no need for that.

“… The monster will eat you alive.”

“What a shame to come out in a difficult situation like this… It seems that you guys are brawling it out. What a foolish thing to do. But having this feast in front of me like this. How could I possibly resist!”

A huge body wearing a raincoat appeared from the depths of the forest.

It was Aguyanaba, the magical species of the slime race.
