Volume 6 Chapter 42 Mad Beast
The situation was in chaos.
The "Grimoires" looked down on Yuusuke and the others from the sky without showing themselves.
Yuusuke and Senri couldn't move.
And suddenly, Kougaru appeared, claiming to be Yuusuke's ally.
He slammed the long object he was carrying on the floor and looked up at the sky.
And when he found the supposed Grimoires that should be there, he opened his mouth.
"Why are you just standing there? You came to kill Yuusuke, right? He's a dead man, but it won't be easy to kill him from there."
'The Four Heroes, Kougaru, huh? I never thought you would show up.'
"I don't care about you. I'm just giving advice. If you want to kill Yuusuke, come down here."
Senri's eyes rolled when she heard the conversation progressing without her.
(What is this person saying? Are they an ally?)
Just as she was about to speak up, Yuusuke's body moved.
"'Totally, he's still the same, always.'"
Yuusuke muttered, his voice carrying the weight of experience.
It would be harder to find a place on his body that wasn't injured anymore. So...
"'Thank you, Yotsuji. I've rested enough.'"
There's no way that's true.
Senri could only offer support and couldn't do anything.
Despite that, Yuusuke thanked Senri and drew his sword, raising his body.
Jade's magic power swirled, and although the red cape remained gone, the shine returned to Shirogane's armor.
"'My body is now in a state of shock and it seems I'm the one they want. So, move aside, Kou.'"
"I see. You can rest assured, I will kill everyone after you die."
"'But then, there won't be any enemies left.'"
Yuusuke stared at the sky. His jade's magic power pushed aside Kougaru's magic power, and he also countered it by unleashing his own magic power.
At this point, Senri couldn't even tell who they were fighting anymore, but it was clear that the two of them were only increasing their determination to fight.
They were serious about taking on the Grimoire here.
This is what Hero Party is. The legendary magicians who defeated the Demon Lord and saved the world.
It's definitely not something that can be measured by Senri's standards.
Kougaru readied his long weapon with a firm grip, and Yuusuke pointed his sword towards the sky as well.
A pressure that seemed like it would blow the room away from the inside emanated from the two of them.
"'Come.'"
"Come on."
It's a mess.
In front of Senri, who was watching with bated breath, the magic power of the two began to take a clear shape.
With one more push, the magic will be activated, and a full-scale war will begin here.
What is to be feared is that Yuusuke and Kougaru are the ones with their fingers on the trigger.
A few seconds of silence.
The response was made by the magic power covering the sky.
A large-scale magic is being used against Senri and the others directly below.
"'!'"
"Hahaha!"
In response to that, it was visible that the two moved.
Senri could only keep her eyes open until there.
With a thunderous and tremendous shock and explosion, everything in sight was dyed white.
It took a few seconds for her confused mind to regain its normal thinking.
"What...?"
"Tch, they escaped."
"Ah!"
Involuntarily trying to step back, Senri's back hit something hard. When she turned around, there was a silver armor right nearby.
It seems that Yuusuke was trying to protect Senri from the shock.
And Kougaru, standing in front of them, was the same.
Thanks to them, Senri was able to get away with this.
"Geez, what a rude woman even though I came to help."
"I-I'm sorry. Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Senri then realized something.
"Oh, Shikin..."
Shikin, who should have been collapsed, was no longer there. Considering Kougaru's words earlier, it was easy to imagine what had happened.
"Even though we finally defeated him..."
Shikin was taken back by the Grimoires. It felt like everything they had fought for was crumbling with a loud noise, and Senri's vision darkened.
Kougaru crossed his arms and said to Senri.
"You won, so don't look so pathetic."
"But in the end, nothing was left."
Saying that, Kougaru sighed.
"Are you an idiot? They ran away with their tails between their legs. The fact of victory has become more decisive. That, my friend, is the most important element in battle. They're probably panicking by now, realizing they can't beat Yuusuke."
"I-Is that so?"
"Above all, with that injury, he won't be able to move for a while no matter how much healing magic they used, and it's doubtful if he can return to the front lines."
Upon hearing Kougaru's words, Senri finally let out a sigh of relief.
She realized that what they had done was not in vain.
"Anyway, let's leave right away."
The golden eyes, which had previously been filled with madness, now appeared calm and serious, as if the previous madness had been a lie.
"Hurry back, or that guy will seriously die."
"Eh, ah, ah!"
Yuusuke, who was nearby, had been relieved when the danger passed, but it didn't change the fact that Yuusuke was in a critical condition.
"Yuusuke! Yuusuke, are you okay?"
Senri called out, but there was no response. The armor remained motionless like a statue.
A bad premonition sent a chill down her spine.
There, a calm voice could be heard.
"Don't worry, he's not dead yet. Right now, he's just using all his energy to maintain his life. As long as the magic isn't dispelled, he won't die."
"But if the magic is dispelled?"
"He'll die."
"Oh no! Even with my magic, it'll take over two hours to get to the city!"
While listening to Senri's desperate voice, Kougaruu approached Yuusuke and lifted his body onto his shoulder.
And he said,
"Just tell me the direction and distance. We'll get there in five minutes."
"T-That's impossible!"
"You don't want him to die, do you? Hurry up."
Senri had no idea what Kougaruu was planning to do. However, he was the only person she could rely on in the current situation.
So, Senri opened a map on her phone and showed it to Kougarou.
"The direction is over there, and the distance is about this much. I think we can get out from anywhere since the barrier magic is probably no longer functional...”
"That's all I need to know, and it's enough."
With those words, Kougaru reached around Senri's waist.
"Eek, what are you doing!"
"Just hold on tight, you'll die if I drop you."
"What are you saying——"
Senri's words were not heard.
In the next moment, they were in the starry sky.
"Huh?"
Below them, she could see the Kouya Castle where they were just moments ago.
Senri and the others were floating in the air, surrounded by countless stars.
"Let's go."
Finally understanding what had happened at that moment, Senri realized.
With a roaring sound in her ears, the scenery disappeared and blew away behind them.
Kougaru, carrying Yuusuke and Senri, jumped. First, he jumped off the floor, and then he used the air as a platform.
And then it hit them.
"We can get there in five minutes."
It didn't take much time for Senri to understand the meaning behind those words.
Becoming shooting stars, the three of them raced straight toward Tokyo, where Lisha and the others were waiting.
