Anime, infinite dimension starting from Mahou no Yakumo

"Yes, it's rare that the rules allow it, it would be a waste not to wear it."

As she spoke, the girl asked again with an expression that seemed to say, "Is something strange? Or does it not fit?" causing Mahiro to take a deep breath.

"Okay, it's beautiful, and it suits you perfectly."

This is the truth.

Beishan is indeed very beautiful at this moment, perhaps even a little too beautiful.

She was wearing a light blue furisode kimono, and without any hesitation, she tied the sash around her waist in front of him and even fixed the sleeves that were in the way.

"If you're going to fix the sleeves, why did you choose a kimono with long sleeves in the first place?" Mahiro complained helplessly.

In fact, it wasn't just □, but the other girls who participated in the "Ice Pillar Defense" were the same.

As mentioned before, "Ice Pillar Attack and Defense" has long since become a fashion show for high school girls.

For example, Chiyoda Kanon, a second-year student, wore a long-sleeved tracksuit on her upper body, but black rhythmic shorts on her lower body, making the tracksuit look like a mini-skirt.

There's also the first-year mixed-race student, Akechi Emi, dressed in a white turtleneck top, a red equestrian coat, white narrow-legged riding breeches, black boots, and a matching black riding hat. The whole outfit is equestrian-style, perfectly showcasing the elegance and heroism of her Equestrian heritage.

Besides that, there's deep snow.

Dressed in a white blouse and crimson pants, the way she holds up the shrine maiden's robes and releases magic makes her look just like a shrine maiden dancing with a Kagura bell to please the gods.

Fortunately, Mahiro stopped complaining about it and instead said:

"Speaking of which, do you want to beat Miyuki?"

Perhaps it was the first time he had used such an intimate address, or perhaps it was hearing his words about letting her beat Miyuki that made the girl, who was tying her sleeves, pause slightly.

She then turned to look at him.

A faint hint of doubt appeared in those calm, brown eyes, as if asking him why he said that.

"The reason is simple: you should know that the final match of the 'Ice Pillar Attack and Defense' is a single round-robin tournament, right?"

"Ah."

"I've done some research on the contestants in this rookie tournament, and I can say that no one can surpass Miyuki's magical power. With Tatsuya's assistance, reaching the finals and winning the championship will be a piece of cake."

Therefore, I predict that in the end you will definitely face off against Miyuki, and if you want to truly win the "Ice Pillar Offense and Defense" challenge, you must defeat Miyuki.

Of course, if □ chooses to abstain, no one will say anything.

"I don't want to abstain."

For the first time, a different emotion was revealed in the girl's calm tone—an emotion called fighting spirit.

Those brown eyes were fixed on Makoto, reflecting his figure, and the way his cherry lips were slightly pursed seemed to be asking a silent question.

But instead of responding to his questions as usual, he simply stared at him.

I understand.

So he asked, "Miyuki is your cousin, why are you helping an outsider like me?"

"It was just a spur-of-the-moment thing for me."

Mahiro's answer was surprising, but also reasonable.

Because he is a person who does whatever he wants and follows his own desires.

But before he could speak again, he suddenly added, "However, although I do have some selfish motives, what's more important right now is—"

Beishan, you are the contestant I am responsible for. Responding to your expectations and fulfilling your wishes is my responsibility and mission as your personal technician for the time being.

If you want to win, then I will do everything in my power to fulfill your wish.

So, □, what's your answer?

Upon hearing his words, Kitayama pursed his lips, his brown pupils gleaming slightly.

Then, she parted her cherry lips slightly and said:

"...I want to win."

This was not a response to being moved by Yotsuba Mahiro's words, but rather a longing hidden deep within her heart.

She wants to win.

I really want to win, to beat Miyuki and prove myself.

Although she appears to be emotionless and indifferent on the surface, Kitayama is actually a highly competitive girl.

Just like Honoka.

She was her rival in elementary school. Although they became friends, they maintained their competitive relationship in junior high school.

Honoka's best rivals are all □, and □'s best rivals are also Honoka.

In their circle of friends, no other child's magical talent could match theirs, not even those from the Hundred Schools of Thought.

But everything changed after I entered the top high school.

Their arrogance was completely and utterly crushed in the high school entrance exams.

The reason is that beautiful girl, Miyuki Shiba, who is the student representative.

She was exceptionally beautiful, practically perfect, and even her magical power was stronger than they had ever seen before, as if it belonged to a completely different dimension.

But, she wanted to win.

Knowing full well that she was far inferior to Miyuki, she still wanted to win at least once, no matter what.

Therefore, now that the even more powerful Yotsuba Mahiro is standing on her side, how could she not seize this opportunity!

"I absolutely must win!"

This is her declaration, and also her and Honoka's obsession.

And just as Yotsuba Mahiro had predicted, on the sixth day, in the final of the "Ice Pillar Offense and Defense" competition, Kitayama □ did indeed face off against Shiba Miyuki.

Two girls stood on either side of the arena.

On one side is the striking red and white shrine maiden attire;

On one side is a refreshing light blue long-sleeved kimono.

Shen Xue did not tie up her hair, nor did she tie up her long sleeves; her long hair and the sleeves of her long-sleeved kimono swayed in the summer breeze.

It was like two generals gazing at each other from afar.

The silence that filled the venue was so profound that it seemed to freeze the air, making all the spectators afraid to even breathe.

They knew very well that this would be the most exciting match since the start of the Nine Schools Tournament, and a clash between the strongest teams.

Because behind them stood two of the strongest magic craftsmen in the history of the school.

It was less a duel between two contestants and more a clash between two engineers.

At this moment, even those in the headquarters of the First High School couldn't help but feel anxious watching the live broadcast, their palms sweating.

Even Suzune, who was busy organizing and archiving the match results that kept coming in, was stopped by Mayumi.

Although Suzune sighed to express her dissatisfaction, neither Mayumi nor Mori were moved at all.

"Hey, Rin-chan, who do you think will win between Kitayama-senpai and Miyuki-senpai?"

"Hard to say."

Setting aside the files and turning back to watch the ringtone of the live broadcast of the match, he reached this conclusion, and then analyzed further:

"In terms of technical skills, although Tatsuya is slightly better than Mahiro, the difference is not noticeable in a competition of the scale of the Nine Schools Tournament."

"Therefore, I believe that the outcome of this match will entirely depend on the players."

"However, compared to Kitayama-san, whose magical power is indeed outstanding, it is not as powerful as Miyuki-san, who is far beyond the strength of her peers. Therefore, this match will be a victory for Miyuki-san."

"Ah, as expected."

Upon hearing Rin's analysis, Mayumi couldn't help but sigh regretfully, lifting her cheek.

She initially came to the same conclusion.

Personally, if possible, she really hoped that Kitayama would win.

......

"This time, I'll make you take it seriously, right, Miyuki?"

Mahiro leaned against the wall of the contestant tunnel, gazing at the girl in the distance.

In recent days, Miyuki seems to be very absent-minded, even during the competition.

So he wanted to use [the lewdness] to wake up his stupid cousin.

at the same time.

The game started.

As the lights on the lampposts on both sides of the field changed continuously, it marked the moment when the signal fires were deployed.

Both sides cast spells simultaneously.

The heatwave struck the enemy's position.

Shenxue's strategy remained the same as before: to use powerful magic like Ice Flame Hell and massive magical power to overwhelm her opponent.

Even though the □ released an intelligence enhancement to prevent temperature changes, the ice pillar still showed faint signs of melting.

It's like boiling a frog in lukewarm water.

Although it's not obvious, if things continue like this, defeat is only a matter of time.

Not to be outdone, it used the vibration magic "Earthquake" by relying on its superior resonance destruction magic properties.

The snow-covered position was attacked by a rumbling sound.

However, this vibration was suppressed before it could trigger a resonance.

An area-of-effect spell that suppresses the vibration and movement of the entire enemy base; the magic even extends to the surface and underground.

The two blocked each other's magic, extending their magical hands, capable of rewriting events, towards the enemy's ice pillars.

This is a battle of offense and defense that only experts can understand, a battle that amazes even the most skilled, and a battle that seems evenly matched.

However, the two parties involved do not think so.

'Unbreakable... As expected of Miyuki!'

Even though her earth-shaking attacks on the ice pillars were frantically happening, the damage she caused was far less than the heat wave sweeping across the field.

"In this case!"

Under Miyuki's astonished gaze, □ suddenly canceled the resonance magic and instead shot out a beam of heat from the CAD on her wrist!

Meanwhile, the heat line generated by the high-frequency vibration split into four during flight, each penetrating half of the ice pillars on the deep snow battlefield.

"It's actually the improved version of the phonon rocket by Shinjiro-nii!"

Both the audience and Miyuki herself were taken aback, to the point that Miyuki's heart wavered for a moment.

In this case——

Ice Mist Divine Realm!

A serious look appeared in Shen Xue's eyes.

The icy inferno that had just been released stopped instantly, followed by an extreme cold that swept across the area, as if it had reached absolute zero.

The ice pillar, which had just been half-melted by the phonon shot, instantly froze again.

Even the icicles on the opposite side of the field were reinforced.

'Just as Mahiro-kun predicted.'

□ Not surprised at all.

Before the competition started, Mahiro had already told her about the magic that Miyuki was good at.

But to be honest, neither the Ice Mist Divine Realm nor the Ice Flame Hell are what Shenxue is best at.

She inherited Yotsuba Shinya's bloodline and even her name. Her most proficient magic is the River of Lamentation, which is powerful enough to freeze the spirit and even the soul!

The Ice Mist Divine Realm, which it excels at, is more like a byproduct of the River of Lamentation.

Although the two are completely different in terms of magic classification, in Yotsuba Mahiro's personal classification, they are the same, both belonging to the freezing magic type.
