Chapter 294 Only Fists Cause Real Wounds

The future is not wrong. Tachibana Hibiki is changing. She is no longer the person she used to be. In any case, she started to change from the day she met Jagi.

A change that made it impossible for her to turn back!
If it were the Xiang of the past, she would probably be at a loss and not know what to do in this situation. She has always been a clumsy person and always makes the people around her worry, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

But in the future, she really will be a child who is a bit too sentimental...

Faced with the terrifying, almost consuming, pitch-black, deep gravity field emanating from Kohinata Mirai, Hibiki Tachibana's response was—

"In the future... I really am an idiot..."

The girl closed her eyes tightly, lowered her head, and tried her best to suppress the urge to cry, because tears would be of no use in this situation.

She had an agreement with the people in Section Two not to reveal anything about the Symphogear costumed person, and she still had to abide by it even under such circumstances.

There are reasons that cannot be stated.

But having understood her friend's feelings, how could Tachibana Hibiki continue to remain unmoved?

She reached out her hand to the weeping future.

So, come with me—

Use these eyes to witness what truly happened to me! If it's the future, you'll understand!

Since words cannot convey the message, let's prove it with actions.

……

People in uniforms stood guard around the area, setting up a cordon around the smashed buildings to keep out the bloodthirsty spectators. Each of them carried a hint of murderous intent and had a strong build, clearly not ordinary security personnel.

If it came down to a fight, they might not have the terrifying fighting power of Kazanari Genjuro, but they were definitely not someone that ordinary terrorists could match.

In recent days, tourists, experts, opportunists, and those with ulterior motives—all sorts of people have come, and the surrounding spectators each have their own hidden agendas. Countless people have come for this golden statue that fell from the sky, and despite repeated emphasis from the British government, it has all been to no avail.

To prevent any safety incidents, the government had no choice but to mobilize all of the nation's most elite troops to guard this place.

Moreover, due to pressure from various countries and its immobile nature, Britain had no choice but to conduct joint research with other countries.

So far, they haven't figured anything out.

"Ah... Hibiki, you've arrived! And who is this...?"

Ryoko Sakurai, who described herself as a "capable woman," received the message and, with a smile, squeezed through the crowd to greet the two girls who had come from a foreign country.

The surrounding area was bustling with noise, and no one noticed the two Japanese girls who were only in junior high school age.

Kohinata Mirai instinctively sensed something strange about the strange aunt in front of her, and she shrank back behind her friend.

In order to find out what had happened to her friend, she resolutely went to London with Tachibana Hibiki. Everything around her was unfamiliar—people, things, language—all of which made her feel uneasy.

However, she did not regret it.

"Any new discoveries?"

Xiang's voice was calm, but her expression surprised Future; it was a sadness she rarely saw...

"Hmm... Although there hasn't been much progress yet, but—" Ryoko seemed quite satisfied with Hibiki Tachibana's question. She flicked the report in her hand, which was covered with waveform diagrams, and deliberately dragged out her tone.

"But he's not dead yet..."

Sakurai Ryoko concluded. Beneath that indestructible golden outer layer, they detected faint brain activity.

"What are you talking about...?"

She asked in bewilderment, although she didn't know what had happened while she was in China, she inevitably came into contact with some information once she stepped into the area where the incident occurred.

What? Not dead... Could it be that statue that people are talking about? How is that possible?
Just then, Xiang, who had been holding her hand tightly since boarding the plane, gently shook her head and pointed through the crowd to the center of the room. "That's my master... the person you'll see that day in the future."

She wasn't surprised by Sakurai Ryoko's words, because she had always firmly believed that Jagi wouldn't die like that.

"ring…"

She still couldn't accept the future, that a golden statue was her friend's master or something, but this time she chose to believe in Tachibana Hibiki.

"I've been thinking about this for days, about what I should do, what I'm capable of doing... but once I actually got here, I knew..."

"War Princess - Hibiki Tachibana," she said decisively, as if narrating something utterly ordinary, so ordinary that it required no explanation and was simply a 'truth' to be accepted.

“My master has helped me a lot, so now it’s my turn to help him.”

Her eyes shone with an astonishing light, burning with a flame fueled by willpower from within!
Jagi said he had entrusted everything to her.

In other words, this is something only she can do.

……

If you're going to use it, now's the time...

Let's do it now!
"Balwisyall nescell gungnir tron——"

The girl's short, flaxen hair suddenly billowed up, and a dazzling light enveloped her entire body like chains.

Sharp, angular armor, an orange and white bodysuit, headdress, and combat boots... appeared one after another on Tachibana Hibiki's body in Kohinata Mirai's shocked gaze.

To transform openly and honestly in front of everyone?

She clenched her small right fist, her arms covered with pure white wrist guards that resembled the color of the sky. The girl's white arms reflected the sunlight with a luster as if they were made of diamond.

Her bones cracked and popped as she walked forward step by step toward her goal. Her heavy steps crushed the ground beneath her, turning the stone into a shower of fine dust.

An unstoppable aura rose from her.

The people who were still having a heated discussion suddenly felt a chill run down their spines and looked tremblingly at the girl who had covered her face with a long, razor-sharp scarf.

Then, without prior arrangement, they all made way for a straight path leading forward, and I almost secretly lost control of my bladder.

"Young lady, this isn't a place for you..."

"No passage!"

"Don't go any further!"

The men in black noticed the anomaly immediately, and their movements were perfectly synchronized! They waved their hands in unison! They blocked the way in perfect unison!
They formed an indestructible barrier with their own bodies.

"Please, don't stop me!"

In an instant, the girl transformed into a super-fast phantom invisible to the naked eye, clenching her fist.

Her target was Jagi!
