Even if I transform, I will never be captured.

but.

even so.

Emilia, her head held high with unwavering resolve, coughed up blood and retorted in a defiant voice, "My eyes, my voice, my silver hair! Every single one of them is exactly the same as the person I love most! That's exactly the same as the most handsome woman in the world! To describe it in such a strange way, even I would be angry!"

"Angry?! You say you're angry?! Don't joke with me!"

"Never mind, Regrus, let me do it."

The one who reached out and stopped the enraged Regulus was the Archbishop of the Great Sin, Gluttony, named Ray Badenkatos.

"Such sweet love must be incredibly delicious!"

Licking his lips, the boy, who looked like a beggar, lowered the two hidden blades wrapped around his arm and approached Emilia with ill intent.

Hughes, who had lost an arm, tried to stand up, but was quickly suppressed by Regulus again—although both were Archbishops of Sin, the difference in their strength was like heaven and earth.

In fact, among the six archbishops of the dead, apart from Hughes who forcibly fused with the witch factor, the other five were born with the aptitude to be compatible with the witch factor.

In other words, of the six deadly sins, sloth is the weakest.

"You don't seem afraid."

Tilting his head, Gluttony looked down at Emilia, who was slumped on the ground.

One of the powers of gluttony is the ability to devour the memories and names of the object—a fact known to almost everyone on the continent.

With such power, he could not only kill a person, but also erase a person's existence from the world—imagine dying without leaving anything behind, without being remembered by anyone, that would be a thousand times more painful than death.

However, the girl sitting slumped on the ground showed no sign of wavering.

The girl spoke quietly: "As you said before, the white whale has already been defeated."

"Yes, that's why I need to resolve things here as soon as possible so I can go and enjoy the delicious food over there."

"—She came to find me after dealing with the white whale; it was an agreement between us."

"...!"

Gluttony was stunned. The next second, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, he bent over and said, "The reason you're acting so fearless is because you know someone will come to save you? But unfortunately, she won't come to save you!"

"It will come."

"Because there was absolutely no warning! There was no intelligence to send anyone here! And do you know how far this place is from the White Whale? Even riding the fastest earth dragon, it would take more than three hours! So—"

Even so, she will come.

Emilia declared this.

"Whether she knows the way or not is irrelevant; she's the kind of person who would get lost without someone leading the way."

Gluttony tilted his head. "So, isn't that even worse?"

As if she hadn't heard him, Emilia continued, "She's someone who occasionally likes to be silly, someone who says vulgar things, someone who's hopelessly lazy, someone who's greedy but picky about food, and someone who can lie in bed until dark if no one wakes her up."

"So, someone with so many flaws, you still..."

"but--"

Interrupting Gluttony's words, Emilia spoke crisply and decisively, looking down at him:

"She is the most reliable person when someone needs her help; she's the one who can beat you to a pulp!"

"...Hey, you seem to be looking down on me."

Emilia's neck, which had just been released, was gripped again.

Gluttony, who was a full head shorter than Emilia, grabbed Emilia by the neck with both hands, suspending her upper body in the air, and roared almost wildly:

"Then let her come! It'll be even better if she comes! Eat, drink, bite, gnaw, bite, bite off, chew, gorge! Gluttony! Someone who is trusted and anticipated like that must be even more worth savoring, right?!"

The voice, overflowing with madness, grew louder and louder, and correspondingly, the hand gripping Emilia's neck tightened its grip.

"Ah...cough!?"

Emilia could feel her life slipping away; she could no longer breathe.

Gluttony, with a crazed expression, continued to tighten his grip on Emilia's neck, while Desire placed one foot on Hughes's head and watched the scene with great interest, arms crossed.

"So! You're about to die! Where's the person who's supposed to save you? Call her! Hurry up and come! I want to devour her right in front of you to prove how naive your idea is! —But she still won't come, will she? No one's going to come to save you, is she?"

"……So……"

Her blood vessels were tightly constricted, and her head felt hot as if it were being compressed due to the congestion. Emilia felt all of this and forced out a sound that should never have been made.

said.

Tell him.

"What...is that...sound...?"

"...!"

There was indeed a sound.

Throwing the dying Emilia to the ground, Gluttony looked around—it was a sound Gluttony had never heard before, like the roar of a wild beast, but not quite.

The very next second after hearing the sound—

boom!

Suddenly, the mountain in front collapsed. Before the falling rocks could fall, a roaring black behemoth charged from the other side of the mountain!

"—!"

Before they could react, Gluttony's body collided with the head of the 'black behemoth'.

This is a collision of fantasy and technology, and also a collision of flesh and sound.

First came the protruding head, then the erect chest, and the slightly sunken abdomen; every organ in the gluttonous body underwent a terrifying dent.

then--

boom!

The shockwave created a blast of air!

Gluttony's entire body was easily blown away, turning directly into a cannonball. With a sharp whooshing sound, it flew backward, smashing through countless trees, and finally turned into a pool of flesh and blood like a mosquito being swatted, crashing onto a small hill.

The 'Black Beast' also came to an abrupt stop. This vehicle, known as the Dragon Knight in A Certain Magical Index and resembling a motorcycle, had undoubtedly achieved its first impressive battle in the other world by killing Gluttony.

Satella, standing on one leg in a classic parking pose, removed her special protective helmet, letting her long silver hair fall down, and grinned at Emilia, "How about it? Pretty cool entrance, right? You're captivated by me, aren't you?"

With her beautiful silver hair swaying and a captivating smile on her face, Emilia nodded at Satella: "Yes, big sister is the coolest. Emilia is completely mesmerized."

PS1. A long chapter of 5000 words. Even if I go back to my hometown, I can't change my fate of cultivating immortality. How sad.

PS2. Thank you to Kui Ximei for the 140 blades and to other readers for their donations. To be honest, I haven't dared to check my subscriptions lately, afraid that I'd be discouraged and unable to continue writing. But thankfully, this part is finally almost finished...

I finally finished watching the PS3.re0 web version. Right now, I only have one thought in my mind: Nagatsuki Tatsuhira, mmp!! mmp, did you hear me?!

Chapter 97 Satella's Fury

Numbered HsSSV-01, the motorcycle-type drive armor named "Dragon Rider" is a technological marvel of the Academy City, combining the best of the best.

Instead of using a regular engine, the Dragon Knight is powered by a jet engine that runs through the entire body. It can reach a top speed of 1050 kilometers per hour (the speed of sound is 1200). It can run on cliffs with a slope of 70 degrees and a height of more than 30 meters, and can cross rivers that are more than 20 meters wide in one go. The biggest problem during the development phase was how to keep this monster, which would fly into the air if left unattended, on the ground.

Aside from the machine itself, even the protective suit that comes with it is far more technologically advanced than the wind-up bandages. In order to enable the pilot to control this 'monster', the specially designed protective suit can greatly enhance the wearer's endurance and wrist strength. As for resistance to high temperatures, impacts, and friction, none of that matters.

—Overwhelming enemies with overwhelming speed and endurance, the drive armor called Dragon Knight is such a 'monster'.

When Satella was making the deal with Aleister, she immediately took a liking to this cool-looking motorcycle-style Drive Armor—although there were better options, Satella couldn't carry it!

It makes me so angry!

If that magical artifact, as large as a noble mansion, hadn't been destroyed, she would have had many more options.

For example, 'six-winged' or 'continental cutter' sound so cool!

But these enormous creatures simply couldn't fit in her small, stable-like house!

Well, it’s decided.

Next time I go to the Konosuba world, I'll drain Megumin's magic so she can't unleash her Explosion Magic all day!

This is something only a super S-class demon could do!

Satella could already picture Megumin kneeling before her, repenting.

Even as such a wicked thought crossed her mind, Satella didn't forget what she really needed to do.

Although I wanted to hold the injured Emilia in my arms and comfort her right now, the guy in front of me with that broken expression was clearly not the kind of patient gentleman.

"—!"

Satella slightly turned her body, and an invisible gust of air, like a sharp knife, swept past her, ruffling her silver hair and striking a large tree behind her.

With a loud crash, a tree as thick as two people could hug was struck by an unseen attack, neatly splitting in two and falling to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Big sister, his power is time stop. He can stop the time of his body and the time of the objects he touches. You must be careful!"

Emilia gave Satella a warning from behind.

(Sister...Master?!)

Hughes, who was also staring at Satella, suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Emilia has no memories of her biological parents, but Hughes is different. He clearly remembers that Emilia definitely does not have a biological sister.

However, if she is Emilia's sworn sister, then the identical appearance is too bizarre.

Silver hair, half-elf features, reddish-purple eyes... all of this was too unsettling.

However, since the other party has gained such great trust from Lady Emilia, they must be on our side, at least for the time being.

The girl who still retains her fighting ability and possesses a highly mobile vehicle is currently the only hope to save Lady Emilia. As long as Lady Emilia can get on that strange vehicle, she will definitely be able to escape!

The Invisible Hand!
