Who Are You, Basai

(Babaluno)

A large hole was smashed in the barrier to the west.

The newly opened domain has been destroyed just like that?

"What happened? Was it the 'Great Hand'?"

Aside from that, I can't think of anything else that could easily break the barrier of the domain. After all, that thing is conceptually the World Wall, the ultimate form of my bubble...

Unless the barrier created by the Association is of poor quality?

Does SpiCa have a countermeasure against the 'Great Hand'?

Metal replied:

"The 'Great Hand' is a product of forcibly elevating high-concentration Dark Energy into a 'Great Will.' Because it is incomplete, it lacks normal cognitive abilities, and all its actions are controlled by Aldebaran. It can be seen as an extremely powerful robot. The research department suggested interfering with the controller and cutting off the control wire to stop it from moving."

That's it?

"That's really just wishful thinking."

Who doesn't know that cutting off that Black Light would stop the "Great Hand"?

But how do we determine the answer? That's the real problem!

That Black Light cannot be blocked by physical means. A magical girl tried it during the battle in the Old District. That Black Light is not light, and it will pass Past any obstruction. Therefore, the 'Great Hand' can fight indoors without any problem.

Metal shrugged and gave a wry smile.

"Don't say that. After all, we lack knowledge about that enemy, but your magic might be effective against it."

Potions?

Oh, no...

"Ceruno's bubbles?"

"Hmm~ Your bubble can create a separate little world, so can this Black Light pass through your 'World Wall'?"

I glanced at the shattered barrier.

I'm a little unsure...

Since there's a possibility, even if the probability is low, we should still give it a try.

Just then, Sirius was gathering forces to fight against Father and the "Great Hand".

"Ceruno- chan, are you going too? You can't even walk properly, can you?"

"It's alright, my magic doesn't require me to run around."

I was so confident just a moment ago, but now I don't know if I have any chance of winning.

The combination of "The Great Hand" and Fomalhaut was a numerical advantage that couldn't compensate for in terms of sheer numbers...

"We're about to take off."

"Huh? Hmm!"

Because of my leg disability, in the end, I could only be carried by Miss Jaeger, who was highly mobile and immune to Magic Suppressant...

As a result, her mobility decreased significantly when I was holding her?

That makes sense, really. Her exceptional mobility came at the cost of lightweighting herself and her weaponry; even her bones were hollow...

I'm not making excuses.

I just wanted to prove that it was perfectly reasonable for her to fly slowly while holding me!

To avoid becoming a burden to her, I even put on Bubble Membrane to eliminate my own weight...

Buzzing--

The sound of six rotors came to my ears.

A significant number of the Association drones are also traveling with us. Each one is a massive machine, costing tens of millions of dollars and capable of withstanding the pressure of a wormhole. They transmit signals back via cables that pass through the wormhole, and the footage they capture will be broadcast live on Earth...

If this battle is fought well, it will awaken the hope in the hearts of the people.

If all goes well, it's not impossible to overthrow the "Supreme Council" directly.

"I saw it."

Only Fomalhaut was by her father's side; the other witches had all joined the battle, and not far behind her was the damaged barrier.

Black Light shone in from outside the barrier, but what it connected to was...

"Huh?!"

Although she also has white hair and dark skin, she doesn't have huge arms; the witch with the single horn is undoubtedly Miluno.

"Huh?! What happened? Has Miluno been controlled by Aldebaran?"

"Ceruno, don't panic."

Sirius's soothing voice came through the headphones.

"There are only three of them, let's go!"

As soon as she said that, I felt things were getting even worse!

Laser beams, like a shower of petals, burst forth from behind Sirius. These curved beams collided with Old Man's white tower shield in an instant, causing a tangible impact that made her take a half-step back. But Fomalhaut's counterattack followed immediately.

The invisible air blades flew towards Sirius like machine guns.

Because it distorts the air, it's not completely invisible, but it's quite difficult to avoid it completely. Fortunately, Sirius was covered by a protective membrane, so although he looked a bit disheveled when he fell from the sky, he wasn't seriously injured.

Behind her, even more magical girls were poised to challenge the legendary strongest witch...

But Fomalhaut could even make a move, the magical girls were sent flying in all directions. I didn't even notice what happened; it was like being hit head-on by a bullet train without any warning. Dozens of magical girls were thrown backward at the same time, and then they never got up again...

It was Miluno's surprise attack.

What's wrong with her?

So fast that you can't even see the afterimage...

No, it's not about speed, but about "time that belongs only to oneself," the power of those three pocket watches.

Fortunately, she will stop, which gives me a chance to use bubbles to...

I raised the Trident at the opportune moment, but the instant I made that move, before I could even put on the Bubble Membrane to restrict my movement, I and Miss Jaeger were sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the dormitory building next door.

No, that's not entirely accurate either.

The moment I raised the Trident, I was lying in my dormitory building. It wasn't until the pain spread throughout my body that I realized what had happened.

"Cough cough cough..."

Hmm, that's really ruthless.

Has Miluno completely lost consciousness?

Her physical condition was already poor, and then she took a solid kick. Even though she was wearing a protective Bubble Membrane, she still felt the contents of her abdomen and stomach being squeezed up to her throat. Miss Jaeger, who was acting as a human cushion behind her, was probably in even worse condition.

"Miss Jaeger, are you alright?"

"Fine..."

She tried to stand up as she said this, but the jets on her back had been deformed by the violent impact. Even if she stood up, she wouldn't be able to fly anymore, would she?

No, it's much more serious than that.

She struggled twice, but couldn't get up from the ground.

"Um, sorry, it seems my spine is broken again. I might need some time to recover."

It turns out it was the spine again...

This isn't an injury that can heal on its own, is it?

Ultimately, her body was already quite fragile; it probably wasn't because I was too heavy...

Absolutely not!

Despite the pain, I leaned against the wall and walked out of the collapsed dormitory building.

"Miluno ..."

She seemed unable to respond to me.

"Oh dear? Sei-chan, sorry, you changed your hair color and weapon, I didn't recognize you at first. Did I hurt you?"

Aldebaran's voice emanated from Miluno's body.

He spoke in what sounded like concern, but his tone was flippant.

Sure enough, she was manipulating Miluno's body as if she were manipulating the "Great Hand"... This is outrageous!

"Give Miluno back to me."

"Even if this situation is reversed, she won't be your Miluno anymore, you know? She's only so well-behaved and controllable thanks to me~"

Miluno intertwined her fingers with mine with one hand and supported my lower back with the other.

Although her eyes were lifeless, her face was very close to mine; I could even feel her breath...

Miluno licked her lips.

But the voice of Aldebaran emanated from within his body.

"Sai-chan~ You're so cute. I didn't control my strength well just now, so let me make it up to you with Miluno's body?"

Aldebaran said this, he gently leaned down and sealed my lips with his.

Chirp--

They actually used Miluno's...

**--

"Huh?!"

Behind her...

When it was unclear who had forcibly kissed me...

Sirius actually sent Miss Fomalhaut flying?!
