Chapter 117 – Assault (5)

It wasn’t just to have the magical girls protect me, but minimizing the line of defense was actually included in the manual.
Rosé and Sienna seemed to understand my words only after hearing the explanation, so they immediately built an ice wall and ran forward, running up the ceiling.

“It’s good to let go while you can!”

Louis agreed with my words and struck down the head of one of the Demon Dogs, whose numbers were definitely less than before, with his shield.
There is no need to worry about subway cars that will be forced to leave and pass the station.
In the first place, running to the safety zone in case of an emergency in this way to get out of the scene is also a content that is often provided on the subway.

I turned my back to Siena’s block and watched Louis and Arna fight for a while.
Arna shoots her lightning and the one who is paralyzed without being able to deal with it at once is stabbed to death by Louis with her spear.
In the first place, the demon dogs themselves are a bit numerous and fast, but since they are not such a great enemy, there is nothing dangerous.
However, I feel that the magic I use on such insignificant people is a little unbalanced.

It’s not that the breathing between the two is bad.
Louis restrained the movement of the demon dogs with a shield and spear and collected them steadily, and Arna used magic to make sure.
Louis focuses on defense, and Arna focuses on offense.

The role division is very well done.
I feel that it is an action that comes out after watching it breathe several times.
The problem is that only Arman uses her magic too often.

Having read the battles of high-ranking magical girls in writing and drawing them in my head, and seeing the linkage of magical girls with better chemistry through video, I felt strangely regrettable.
When she was a trainee in the National Guard, she supported signal soldiers and studied hard about combat support communications.
These magical girls could do even better than they do now with just a little change.

“Arna, try using magic by adjusting her magical power just enough to paralyze her.”
“Don’t meddle!”
“Do as you say! You’re the only one using too much magic right now! I don’t know how long it might come, but why do you waste so much energy on demon dogs? Are you going to attack me again for not having enough magic power?”
“Oh… !”

She was pointed out by me. I made her impression and she immediately changed the magic she used.
She doesn’t like to do as I say, but she keeps her mouth shut and follows her quietly, probably because she had a greater reluctance to recall bad memories.

“Louis stabs the paralyzed ones, and paralyzes the ones that are not paralyzed by blocking them with her shield. Arna goes into support.”
“My magic is more powerful than Louis-senpai! Support!”
“You know it’s powerful, so you’re telling me to cherish it! It’s a waste to write so much on a demon dog! You can even support!”

Continuing to direct her fighting style, I saw Arna vent her displeasure again and sighed as she approached.
The repulsion against me is so great that he doesn’t listen to me properly.
I don’t like it, but I have to appease it now.

“Arna, I’m not saying this now because I’m ignoring you. Rather, since you know how to do so much more than Louis, I want you to do something else.”
“Yes… ?”
“Louis is Arna. She is better at shield art than you, and she has less magic and mana than you. You can use stronger magic, more magic than Louis, right?”

Embarrassed by the sudden compliment, Arna doubted my words and she made a strange expression.
It seems that her mind suddenly becomes complicated when she feels that her opponent, who has been scolding and belittling her, is giving her a higher rating than she thought.

“Arna supports and saves her strength for a while, then uses powerful magic when she needs it most. If Louis looks overwhelmed while helping Louis, Arna can clear things up with her magic, right?”
“As the teacher said, Arna. Of course, it’s more efficient to deal with a lot of magic in one shot when it’s piled up than to continuously fire a lot of magic that can deal with a lot at once. I can’t.”
“When Siena descends the ice wall, she uses her magic on that side as well, isn’t Arna’s magic the strongest?”
“Oh, okay! Okay, so stop!”

Arna said as if it was more painful to hear her compliments from those she didn’t seem to get along with than she was scolded, as if she was screaming and followed her instructions obediently.
When Louis gathers her demon dogs, Arna burns them all at once, and when there are not many demon dogs, the number of which is gradually decreasing, she paralyzes them with appropriately weak magic and repeats gathering her number.
And soon after, the sound of the vehicle starting was heard and Rose, who had disappeared over the ice wall, returned.

“I have contacted the National Guard, so it will stop by itself in about five stations!”
“Okay, good job. Well now Sienna is getting rid of the ice, I am magic with her back!”
“I know!”

Right after Sienna removed her ice wall blocking her path, Arna’s magical energy swelled greatly and her hair spread out like wings.
Rosé hugged me and immediately ran behind Arna, and Sienna quickly ran on the ice and moved in front of Arna.

“Lightning Vortex Lightning Vortex!”

A storm made of lightning rotates and fills the railroad tracks, and burns countless demon dogs gathered behind the ice wall at once.
Arna, who processed a much larger amount of her magic at once than her Louis was blocking, her face recalled as if she felt a strange pleasure, and her hand that fired her magic as she breathed in her face. Down

“Look, you swept it all in one go. Since the subway is a closed space, it would be better for Arna to deal with it at once after blocking the road like now…”
“Arna, great! Awesome!”
“I didn’t know because I used it even when the number was small, Arna, this was a very strong magic…”
“Because it is lightning, it penetrates the enemy, and the more it is transmitted, the stronger the wave is…”
“Everything, why are you making such a fuss over something obvious?”

Sienna, Louie, and Rosé interrupted me in order to ask if it would work better if I did as I said.
Arna twisted the corner of her mouth strangely, as if it was awkward for everyone to suddenly praise her, and turned her head away with her face blushing.

“The downside is that it smells bad after burning the dog, and the smoke blocks the view…”

There was a lull for a very short time, probably because the powerful magic filled the railroad and killed quite a lot of infected.
Arna’s lightning burns the demon dog’s contaminated body, and the terrible smell fills the tunnel, and acrid smoke obscures the view.

“Cough, Cough…”
“Sir, this…”
“Huh?”
“It’s the same one used for my mask.”

As I looked around and was having difficulty breathing, I covered my mouth and coughed softly, but Rosé handed me a cloth similar to the mask she was wearing.
It is known that the mask that Rosé wears on her mouth has the effect of blocking a certain amount of aphrodisiac gas composed of various toxic gases or vaginal fluid.
Breathing becomes much easier when you put a clean, organized cloth like a handkerchief on your mouth.

“Thank you, Rosé… Are there still a lot in the front?”
“Yes, soon the bats… Teacher!”
“What?!”

The moment I asked Rosé, who had been running towards the subway car and looked ahead, the moment I asked about the situation, Rosé, who was answering the question, suddenly hugged me and turned around.
A starfish-shaped monster the size of two palms jumps up and clings to Rosé’s body.

“Ugh… !”

Rosé, who was bitten by the monster, was bitten instead by the monster that was trying to stealthily attack me, then raised the dagger in reverse and slashed the monster at the waist.
When I saw the eerie looking monster that fell to the floor without a sound, I identified its identity.
It’s weak to the level of an infectious agent, but it’s a wandering monster that can’t be dealt with unless you’re a magical girl.

“Senior Louie! Hugger!”
“The bats are coming too! Arna!”

Small monsters and infected are numerous and move fast, so the more they are, the harder it is to deal with.
In a way, these guys are more troublesome than the demon dogs.
The hugger crawls on the dark floor and then jumps up and injects secret fluid and poison, while the poison bat, a bat-infected creature, quietly flies in and injects poison and sucks blood.
Both hide in the dark and move silently, not even noticing their approach until they get close.

Louis raised his shield high and lowered his stance, much more nervous than when dealing with the Demon Dog, as if he had suffered a lot from small monsters so far.
Louis, who had no ability to attack in a wide range or search for enemies, would have had no choice but to stab and kill them one by one whenever small monsters appeared, so it was a natural reaction.
Arna reached her hand in the air as soon as Louie called to her, unleashing a flashing wave of lightning.

“Thunder Wave Thunder Wave!”

Lightning spreads widely and flies with a crackle, dropping bats hiding in the darkness to the ground.
Louis, who paralyzed the flying bat infection so that it could not fly easily, subsequently directed her magic to Sienna.
Some sense lightning in advance and continue to fly away from damage, but there are quite a few that fall to the floor with a sound.

“Siena! All the fallen ones are plugged in with ice magic… !”
“No, Louis and Rosé do the killing! Siena, everything around us is ice!”

It seems that he wanted to use ice prism, which is a magic that shoots a lot of ice fragments, but I think the more appropriate magic now is the magic that creates an ice sheet.
Sienna pondered between me and Louis’ instructions for a very moment, then plunged her sword into the ground and froze the surroundings at once.

“Ice Field!”

The ground, which had been sticky with the blood from the demon dog’s corpse, quickly froze with a clattering sound.
The Huggers approached little by little, hiding among the dead bodies of the Demon Dog, and shook their bodies to get off the ice with a clattering sound as if they were surprised that the legs that were soaked in the black blood that the Dog had shed were frozen.
Bats do the same, flapping their wings and making a startling sound.

“Uh?”
“Attack where there is noise!”

Louis, Rosé, and Sienna were surprised, but immediately moved their bodies and dealt with the guys stuck on the floor one by one.
Even if you are hiding in a dark place, if you do this, you will hear a sound, so you have no choice but to find out.
The guys flying in the air deal with Arna by continuously shooting her lightning bolts, while the guys on the floor kill them while their feet are stuck and unable to move.

“Uh… ? Were these guys that easy… ?”

Louis stabs her with a spear, collapsed in a situation that is much easier to deal with than expected.
Both Sienna and Rosette are poking at the floor with their swords and stepping on them, as if the tension has suddenly been released.
It’s not a monster that can be dealt with so easily because it moves fast and is stealthy, so it’s not an infection like this, and it steadily reduces the number.

“Something has become like break time…”

The tense atmosphere was relieved by the situation where they poked the floor as if they were working in the field, and Sienna seemed a little embarrassed as if she suddenly lost her strength.
Then, as if he had heard Sienna’s words, sharp tentacles stretched out and flew out, announcing the end of the break, along with a familiar cry in the dark.

“Crrrr…”
“It’s a tentacle!”
“Ah! Don’t say it’s like break time!”

A hybrid type that combines a tentacle monster that is faster than a normal man but slower than a magical girl, has a strong aphrodisiac effect, paralysis, restraint, and flashy attacks, and a demon dog that boasts exceptional movement speed among infectious objects. It appears as if it is trying to deal with a magical girl and attacks it.

“Huh!”

As soon as she saw her tentacle dog, Arna twisted her body in surprise, and Louis glanced at Arna and immediately raised her shield and stepped in front of Arna.
She looks nervous to anyone and she gets scared by the tentacle dog.

“Arna!”
“Oops!”

No matter how much she has been attacked by tentacle dogs, it is difficult for her to be so afraid now.
If this had happened while I wasn’t there, I would have just made fun of her, but now each magical girl is important.
I approached Arna, whose breathing was getting rougher, and held her face with both hands, bringing me and her eyes into contact.
It is a method of calming a soldier who is about to panic, learned from his assistant when he was a trainee in the National Guard.

“Don’t be afraid!”
“You’re scared… Something like that… !”
“Wake!”
“Oh, I know! Let go!”

Arna’s face was stained with embarrassment, as if her embarrassment at being caught by me was greater than the encounter with her tentacle dog.
With her face flushed red, Arna shook off my hand from her and stood there, and she stretched out her hand from behind Louis, looking even more calm than before.
Louis glanced at such Arna and raised the corners of her mouth, and she skillfully blocked the suddenly flying blades and tentacles with her shield, she said.

“Arna, are you really not afraid of the tentacle dog? There are four magical girls?”
“Shut up, as long as you don’t do stupid things like before, it’s no big deal.”
“Oh my God, I’m afraid, to shut up on my senior…”

Although three tentacle dogs appeared at once, it was also the case that only three appeared.
Four magical girls are definitely stronger than three tentacle dogs.
Three of them are no match.
