Chapter 285 – Episode 268 the Final Battle. Opening.

Ara asked as if confirming.

To Naru, no…

“Yes? Azot.”

There is silence. Naru looked like he was measuring his liver for a moment, but then his eyes turned to the ground.

Did you notice? No. It doesn’t matter at this point.

“Hoo.”

The corners of Hanaru’s mouth draw a round arc. At the same time, Ara, sweating, opens her left eye.

Cheok.

As if a secret base like something out of a special film about riding a giant robot is being revealed, the asphalt under the two people’s feet spreads out on both sides and the ground beneath them opens up.

The door to the Pupil Library has opened.

“… !”

The figures of two people standing in a confrontation in the back alley of the street fall to the ground together with their shadows. The door of the Eye Library swallowed the two people like an open mouth.

The scenery changes.

Whiiiii…!

Before you know it, the two are falling in the middle of the library.

The reopened Eye Library seems to be a forest of books and a rainforest, just like Umi visited before. It looks like an ancient city made of book spines.

“… When did you prepare something like this again? “You have good skills.”

“It’s time to catch the final boss, but this is nothing.”

Naru, who was thrown into the air, glided and looked towards Ara, who was also falling.

“Are you planning to die by falling from a high altitude like this? That’s nice too. This body is only ‘half’ successful.”

“… Even if I die, it won’t be mine.”

Ara stretched out her hand to a book that flew by, its spine flapping like wings.

Up!

Ara’s falling body is caught by a book.

[Long time no see. Existimō, master of knowledge and owner of this magnificent library.]

“Good job Brenner.”

Ara smiled bitterly as she looked down at Naru, who was moving farther and farther downward.

Astrology Murder Case Trick.

It is in line with vanish puzzles such as Sam Lloyd’s brain puzzle ‘Get Off the Earth’.

It seemed as if the six daughters were murdered according to Heikichi’s dark tales, but the truth was quite the opposite.

The culprit was hiding among the six daughters who were thought to have been murdered.

She collected parts of the bodies of five other people and created one more body to replace herself.

The truth about the dismemberment murder in which the head, chest, abdomen, lower back, thighs, and lower legs were cut off… This is to hide the fact that to make azot, instead of gathering people’s body parts one by one, they collected the bodies of one person.

As a result, the criminal who planned everything became the victim of the incident and was completely able to escape people’s reasoning.

It is said that Soji Shimada got the idea from a bill fraud incident that actually occurred in Japan.

Cut a 1/10th size from a 10,000 yen bill and attach it. Then, you can create a new 10,000 won bill from 10 10,000 yen bills.

This is the example that Mitarai Kiyoshi shows to the narrator, Kazumi Ishioka, right before the challenge to the second reader in whom Ara showed interest.

[That means…]

“In the ‘Astrology Murder Case’, there was actually no ritual to call upon Azoth, the demon sealed in the Philosopher’s Stone. “Because it was all just one of the cover-ups the criminal used to cover up his crime.”

The real culprit’s goal is to blind people’s eyes to the brutal crime by covering it up with an occult phenomenon.

A demon named Azoth also hid among the magical girls in the same way.

“There were hints everywhere. For example, ‘magnum opus’, which refers to the steps in creating the Philosopher’s Stone, only had 5 steps. “It’s the one that shared the class and name of the former adventurers in Alchemic Fantasy.”

‘Nigredo (black color), albedo (white color), citrinitas (yellow color), viriditas (green color), rubedo (red color)’.

Unlike magical girls who were assigned to existing classes, Naru entered Alchemic Fantasy with the privilege of being a hidden class.

From this point on, it may have already been revealed that Naru is on the same path as her existing magical girls.

[The fact that she appeared in the form of a saint may have been aimed at a psychological loophole in that a demon called Azoth would never appear as a saint, which is the exact opposite.]

“Maybe so.”

She thought that a 6th magical girl might appear, so she was revealed to be the 6th magical girl, Hanaru.

Unfortunately, the truth of the astrological murder case completely denied the existence of the ‘6th’.

Ara clicked her tongue as if she felt regretful. Thinking about it that way, she had plenty of opportunities to find out who Naru really was before she interfered with Umi.

“… “Should I have put Naru’s autograph correctly from the beginning?”

[I don’t think Existimo would have made such a decision since he had already guessed the cause of her death.]

“That’s right.”

From the fact that her mascot was herself, to the fact that her killer became a homunculus and did not appear, her cause of death was already 90% determined.

“It was confirmed that it was suicide, but the important issue was how he died.”

[Because it is not easy to associate death with the thigh region as the cause of death.]

Many people think that if they throw themselves from a high place, there is a high probability that their head will hit the ground first. However, depending on the posture at the time of the fall, the person’s weight, clothing, and the height of the point of fall, the subsequent situation may vary significantly.

In fact, if we consider all fall accidents that do not result in death, the legs fall first in most cases. Moreover, if you take into account the possibility of hitting various obstacles during a fall.

As Naru is the 6th magical girl, there is a good possibility that the corresponding body part, ‘thigh’, could be the cause of death from a fall.

Naru, who is now falling towards her ground, is also falling with her butt towards her ground. Even during her lifetime, she may have looked similar to how she is now, and may have met her death.

If you think about it that way, Ara’s treatment would have been very cruel…

“If I finish off Azoth outside, it will be a big problem if he gets caught by someone else.”

If you have to kill Azoth, this is a place where there will be no contact with other people.

It ends inside the [Eye Library].

It was Ara’s thought for a long time.

However.

“… She feels sorry for the real Naru, who was originally the owner of her body, but she can’t help it… “I was trying to think.”

[Coming.]

I guess she can’t finish it off easily.

Ara frowned.

“… 10 km/h!”

Understand!

Naru’s left leg, which was falling with his back to her, struck her in the air.

And one more time.

“20 km/h!”

Understand!!

Walking on air.

A step in the air that seems to ignore the physical forces of this world.

Naru no longer falls.

As if there were stairs there instead.

“… 50 km/h! 55 km/h!”

It begins to walk up the sky.

That ignorant speed and driving force, and the way he uses techniques that come out of Naru’s mouth.

They are very familiar to Ara.

[Is this the heartstone ability of the lower leg?]

“… I stole it from Gina. … I see “I could also use the abilities of the stolen heartstone.”

I wondered what they had to do to find out where Woo-mi and Joo-hyuk lived in order to burst the drain pipe.

It looks like he used [Magical Reverse Engineering], An analysis technique that Gina used.

[First of all, defense… !]

With Brenner’s voice, the books in the library fluttering from the shelves fly in like migratory birds and rush towards Naru.

But.

“It’s no problem, senior.”

Baaaaa !!

In an instant, the kick blows a hole in the books and breaks them in half.

The composure disappears from Ara’s face and impatience appears.

“Hehe, hehe… Do I have to fight and win against a magical girl with two heart stones at once…? ?”

Drops of cold sweat form below Ara’s neck as she looks at Naru, who is slowly chasing her up.

“Even though it is home ground… It must be a bit burdensome.”

As Ara mumbles, a mascot appears next to Naru.

It’s the foot-shaped mascot Leg Tech that was floating next to Gina.

… He is Joo-hyuk’s older brother.

[BreakPoint. Check.]

“Ah. Ara senior. Do you have a weakness in that area? Okay. Shall we go over this first?”

Naru, looking up at Ara from a height not far away, received the analysis magic from her leg tech, and she smiled.

“Me. It’s not Azot, and you didn’t fall for Azoth’s trick, right? Magical girls are also somewhat correct! Even if you are born with the heartstones of other magical girls, a magical girl is still a magical girl!”

Naru continued, denying Ara’s reasoning.

“And ‘Naru’ is just ‘Naru’. Haha, what is third person speaking? “You’re so annoying that you want to fucking kill me, right?”

“… What are you talking about?”

“Rather, if you ask me, I am using Azott. She extended her hand for a give and take… Oh, my! “I feel like I threw away the scissors?”

“… That’s it.”

Naru, who was climbing through the air, narrowed her eyes and smiled.

Before we knew it, there were only three ships left between the two.

“Let’s see… The reasoning so far makes sense, but it feels like the most important thing is missing. Motivation. After all, that’s why you consider me Azo, right?”

Naru said that, and she kicked away the flying mystery novels. Crumple. The messy bundles of paper quickly become her stepping stones.

Naru, standing at the same eye level as Ara, continued her words.

“Obsessed with Senior Umi. That’s why Azot turned Umi-senior into a post-uterine magical girl, right?”

Naru wrapped his arms around her and shouted in ecstasy.

“I also really like Umi-senior! I will never be like Umi! So many people who have hurt me with words written with their fingers, who I have never met in my life, are so rude. How can you love trash!”

Ara’s magic forced everyone to become a magical girl.

However, there were also people who could never become a magical girl. The whole world was her enemy.

“In that respect, Umi-senpai is really, really amazing! And the malice! Disgust! Every time she experienced it with her own eyes, with her own hands, with her fragile womb… Trying to save such trash itself! “It’s so, so lovely!”

“[Three a]… Big… !”

Naru laughed as she kicked Ara in the stomach as she tried to use her magic by surprise.

Like a shot put, Ara’s body falls below her library.

She tries to attack Naru as the library’s study area falls, but

Naru quickly dodged her by increasing his speed and then kicked Ara’s head like a soccer ball.

“That’s why I support Umi-senior! I always look forward to it! I always want to see you fall into the abyss of despair and then climb back out in a mess! Is it so! To me, Umi senior… Senior Tal-womb… !”

Naru, who instantly destroyed Ara’s library of her eyes, concluded her words with an ecstatic expression.

“… “I’m like an idol that I couldn’t become!”
