The sound of RV jets heard over the forest intensified, and EF lances attacking targets, the same as in training.
And the result was as expected. A little beyond the forest, Aguyanuba’s body, popping out of the tops of the trees, was now even more enormous, like a moving hill.
“It’s no use. It eats even the energy of the impact. It eats and grows again. We can’t do it. There’s nothing we can do. Shinjin city… is finished.”
(*Complaining) Sheena brought her vicious face close to Yuika’s face as she said.
“There’s only one thing we can do. I’m going to kill you for now. I don’t know how many percent of the whole will be left, but I’m going to take away the origin magic power you have. If we can destroy their core before Aguyanuba can create a new partner, even if it resurrected its partner, then we’ll be in the lead.”
“Sheena!”
I inadvertently criticized what she said, but I soon realized.
That what she said is a bluff. Rensuke knew because he had shared her will in the depths of her soul, in magical merging. Sheena keeps her promises. At least she has no intention of killing Yuika here. She wanted to get something out of her. Something necessary.
But will it be in time?
Then Rensuke can’t believe he is seeing.
Yuika’s body was melting.
Sheena was shocked as she said.
“Oi, don’t do anything crazy! I’m truly going to kill you!”
Yuika struggled lightly. She was shaking her head. As she looked at her limbs, the look in her eyes was one of despair and fright.
“You’re wrong. It’s not me who’s doing this…”
“What did you say?”
“It’s sucking me my existence. Does that mean it doesn’t even need a partner anymore…?”
“Damn, of course, it’s going to recover all its origin magic. It’s getting bigger and bigger. Even if there is a disadvantage since there’ll be only one core, it seems that securing the remaining root magic power is what it’s doing.”
“It decided there was no one who could stop it anymore.”
“That’s right. Its goal right now is to eat what it wants to eat. Remembering what it couldn’t eat before.”
While Sheena and Rensuke exchanged words, Yuika’s body was still shaking.
No. It was like before. Yuika was shaking her head.
She was shaking her head like a child, like a spoiled child.
“I don’t like this! No! At this rate, I, I…”
It was a cry that was hard to believe that it came from Yuika, who does not usually show her emotions.
A scream of rejection and fear…
“I’m going to be absorbed by it!─”

No! No! No! I don’t want this!
I can feel it in its soul. I discern its gluttony and indulgence. The shallowness, the nastiness of eating everything. Can anything it eats turn into power? There is a limit. What it has now is the stupidity of a man who keeps eating dirt from the ground and going to the other side of the earth. It was so dumb that it kept swallowing the air and choking itself to death.
Somehow, eating the radiant beast has made it grow to such a size.
That’s why it can see them more clearly. Because my soul bounded to it, I have no choice but to be closer to it. Even if I don’t want to be, I can no longer hide the very natural feel that I had kept locked away deep inside.
─Unsightly.
─Monstrous, shameful, unseemly!
Indeed, a monster that lives just only to ‘eat’ in the truest sense.
Anything besides that has no meaning. Truly, a hideous creature.
If anyone says I’m like that, they are right.
That is why I wanted to be everyone else, not myself, not ugly like myself.
However, I would merge with it if this continues.
It doesn’t matter anymore if that’s the way to become everyone else. Because I am sure that I won’t be myself any longer. I may be in there, but as a monster and not a human being. It’s already decided.
Pulverized, that was what happened with my wish.
On the contrary, I would become the thing that I hated the most. I tried going a different path but still arrived at the same end.
Inconsistency.
I can’t stand it.
Being hopeless, insane, and full of fear.
So, in that case.
I’ll do it.
