"I have a bad feeling. Nothing good is going to happen after midnight!"
"Search the area and see if we missed any loot. Eat whatever you can! Two people, find a bigger vehicle. Once I get down there, we'll drive out immediately!"
Everyone exchanged smiles.
"OK! Captain!"
"Yes! Leader!"
Although Shirou Emiya and Ryuguuin Seiya had escaped mortal danger after being treated by "Cú Chulainn," they still could not move freely and could only remain where they were.
Kurisu Makise and Mahiro Oyama cleared away the items nearby.
Hachiman Hikigaya and Shido Itsuka went to find a vehicle.
Kazuma Satou shivered in the freezing wind atop the bridge, but he still went over and stuffed all of "Archer's" drops into his backpack. Without even checking them, he hurried back down.
After coming down, he walked over to Shirou Emiya and Ryuguuin Seiya and dropped onto the ground beside them.
"I don't know if we have enough time to evacuate."
Ryuguuin Seiya tilted his head and had Shirou Emiya, who was in the wheelchair, spread out "Yu's Footprints Map" over his broken leg. After calculating it mentally, he spoke.
"If we take the best route, fifteen minutes by car will be enough."
Kazuma Satou did not care. "There's nobody out at night anyway. We can just drive however we want."
"Move! Watch out!"
A Toyota HiAce H50 came crashing over, with Shido Itsuka sticking his head out the window.
Kazuma Satou took one look and saw Hachiman Hikigaya in the passenger seat, his eyes utterly lifeless.
His eyes suddenly widened as he looked at Shido Itsuka's hand gripping the steering wheel and realized something.
Holy shit, Shido Itsuka and Hachiman Hikigaya only had one hand between them.
How had they driven the car over here?
The vehicle swerved and slammed into things all the way over, finally stopping with a screech just five centimeters from Kazuma Satou.
The two of them opened the doors and practically crawled out. The others also got into position one after another.
Kazuma Satou closed his eyes, patted his chest, took several deep breaths, and looked around.
"Do we not have a single adult here? So... does anyone have a driver's license?"
"..."
After a brief silence,
Shido Itsuka raised his hand.
"Let's use 'Rationality Evaporates.' That's how I drove here just now."
Hachiman Hikigaya rolled his dead-fish eyes upward, looking like he wanted to die.
"But we don't have the 'Golden Fleece' anymore."
Ryuguuin Seiya spoke.
"Just have the person in the passenger seat help keep an eye out."
"I'll do it! I'll do it!"
Mahiro Oyama bounced up and down as she raised her hand.
Hachiman Hikigaya glared at her with his dead-fish eyes.
"You?"
She looked at the group of people missing arms and legs around her, then put her hands on her hips.
"What? Aside from Kurisu, I'm the only one here with all my limbs intact!"
"Don't slander me."
Kazuma Satou raised both hands. "I am too."
Then he lowered his hands, looking utterly exhausted.
"But yeah, I really don't want to drive. If you want to drive, go ahead. I'm taking a break."
"Ho ho ho ho!"
Mahiro Oyama jumped excitedly. She had never expected to be able to drive so freely before becoming an adult.
This was way too cool!
New City Fuyuki, on the highway winding around the mountain.
"Ahahaha!"
"Aaaaaah!"
Wild screams and the maniacal laughter of a loli driver echoed from a large van speeding down the highway.
Mahiro Oyama was not driving while seated. If she sat down, she could not reach the accelerator or brake pedals.
She drove with her little belly pressed against the steering wheel, her entire body standing on the accelerator and brake pedals.
In other words,
unless she chose to step on the brakes,
almost her entire body weight was pressing down on the accelerator, flooring it completely.
"Bro, bro! I'm scared!"
"It's fine! Look, I'm driving nice and steady!"
A crazed grin spread across Mahiro Oyama's little face.
"Fuhahahaha! Tell me, isn't this awesome?!"
"I'm the Demon King of the highway! The ultimate street racer!!!"
"Hahahaha! What kind of pathetic turtle car is that? Eat my dust behind this driving god!"
In the passenger seat,
Kazuma Satou clutched his chest, looking anguished.
He finally understood.
Why Dao Tian Palace had given Mahiro Oyama that standard set.
It had not made a mistake. It had been so accurate it could not have been more accurate.
Her true nature was that of a complete lunatic!
Kazuma Satou even felt that Aqua would get along wonderfully with her!
"Ahahaha!"
A sharp turn appeared ahead.
Mahiro Oyama spun the steering wheel, but because she was driving while standing at an angle and had no seatbelt on, inertia sent her half-flying into the air.
She grabbed the steering wheel with monstrous strength, her lower body dangling in midair as she laughed wildly.
The others suffered terribly.
Kazuma Satou's head slammed into the side window, and stars danced before his eyes.
"?!"
Hachiman Hikigaya, Shido Itsuka, Shirou Emiya, Ryuguuin Seiya, and Kurisu Makise were all thrown around in every direction.
Shirou Emiya smashed headfirst into the driver's seat in front of him. He barely managed to push himself up, looked ahead, and saw a massive curve with a sheer cliff below. He hurriedly shouted.
"Um... your name is Mahiro, right? Turn! We're going to fly off!"
"I... I-I'm stuck!"
Mahiro Oyama's voice came from beneath the driver's seat.
Although she had not been thrown out just now, when she fell back down, she landed butt-first beneath the seat and got stuck there.
Hearing that and seeing this scene,
everyone's vision went dark.
A-Xiu: "Are there even any humans left?"
Archer: "Truly invincible. Good thing I didn't lose to someone like this."
Shendu: "There aren't even demons like this. Let me make that clear first."
Medb: "Hahaha, this is so entertaining! You men are so boring. You don't know how to appreciate it!"
Cú Chulainn: "Don't talk. You're a lunatic too."
Medb: "Hm? I haven't even settled the score with you yet, and you jumped out on your own?"
Tadakuni: "Uh, they aren't going to beat Medea, defeat Archer, then drive themselves to death, are they?"
A-Xiu: "What you said... is actually kind of messed up."
Shiro: "It really is. That's not impossible."
Nero: "Hahaha... this group is really interesting!"
"?!!"
Kazuma Satou looked at the cliff ahead, immediately got up, grabbed the steering wheel, and shouted at Mahiro Oyama, who was stuck.
"Let go of the steering wheel! Step on the brake and slow down!"
The vehicle made an extreme turn, its side smashing against the guardrail and sending sparks flying.
"Whew... whew... whew..."
Only terrified breathing remained inside the vehicle.
They had truly been just a hair away.
Trapped inside the car, they really had no way to do anything.
This situation was even more hopeless than their most desperate moment in the battle just now...
Ryuguuin Seiya was the first to calm down. He spoke to Kazuma Satou.
"There are several more sharp turns ahead. Once we get through this stretch, we'll be fine!"
"What did you say?!"
Hachiman Hikigaya and the others went pale.
"Kazuma, switch over already!"
"Do you think I don't want to?"
Kazuma Satou leaned over from the passenger seat, gripping the steering wheel as he shouted toward the rearview mirror.
"She's stuck underneath! How am I supposed to get over there?!"
"...Wait?!"
Kazuma Satou suddenly thought of a possibility. He crawled over and sat in the driver's seat.
Both of his feet went straight...
onto Mahiro Oyama's shoulders!
"Hm?"
Mahiro Oyama sent out a question mark.
Kazuma Satou took a deep breath. As the driver, he focused completely on the road ahead.
"Stop going 'hm'! Based on how hard I step on your shoulders, you step on the accelerator and brake!"
With that, he stepped down.
Mahiro Oyama gave a soft grunt.
"Ah..."
Before you continue
