Hey guys, I like Two-dimensional

Origami repeatedly attacked Tohka with sword strikes. If she were an ordinary person, she would be knocked away with just one blow to her body.However, Tohka completely saw through the paths of those sword strikes and blocked them one by one.

"──Look at me!"

Tohka took advantage of Origami's continuous attacks and waited for an opportunity to stab Origami with the [Fighting Killer] like a glide.

"Well...!"

But Origami saw her attack and blocked it.

Parry, swing a sword, stab, sweep, block, and slash.

The sword strike that was as fast as a storm created a gust of wind between the two sides.

──There is a chance of winning.Origami tightened her grip on the <Excalibur>.

The strength is almost evenly matched.Origami is no longer the same girl she was when Tohka chopped her to the ground and was helpless.

Origami is now able to fight against the spirit that has regained its full spiritual power.

Human wisdom also applies to world-destroying disasters.

That was Origami's long-cherished wish that she had been looking forward to and longing for for several years.

There is nothing wrong with origami.The training she has accumulated so far has not been in vain.

──CR-Unit〈Mordred〉.As long as she has it, she has the power to defeat the elves!

In other words, when the elf who killed her parents five years ago appeared, she was sure to kill it and avenge her parents!

After learning that the DEM Club had recorded the elf's spiritual power fluctuations, Origami chose to join in. Otherwise, she might not have been like this.

But now, Origami is confident that she can do it now. As long as the elf appears, she can lock the identity of the elf through the DEM club!Then - kill it!

Thinking of this, even if it is folding paper, I can't help but feel a little happy in my heart.

however--

"what...?"

But at this moment, Origami suddenly felt a splitting headache.

For a moment, she thought it was because she failed to completely block Tohka's attack and received a slash to the head - however, this was not the case.It was clearly pain coming from within.

In the next moment, consciousness was interrupted like a light flickering, and the vision gradually became bright red.

"Ah──!"

"Drink!"

Of course Tohka couldn't let go of this opportunity.She swung [Slaughter] and slashed towards Origami's defenseless body.

A blow that can subjugate all things with incomparable violence.Origami's body was easily blown straight back like a leaf caressed by the wind.

The force was so strong that it broke several pieces of rubble and penetrated the wall of the building. After reaching a distance where Tohka could not even be seen, Origami finally rolled to the ground, spinning around two or three times and lying on her back.

"Ugh... ah...!"

Due to the increased strength in the random field, he barely avoided fatal injuries, but the injuries all over his body were very serious.Bruises, lacerations, heavy bleeding.If this tragic situation was seen by passers-by, they would definitely call an ambulance first regardless of Sanqi21.

No, the real serious damage is not the injuries on the surface of the body.Origami wiped her face with her hands, gritted her teeth as she looked at the dark red blood on her hands.

Eyes and nose are bleeding.This is not the first time Origami has experienced this symptom.It is the limit of movement that I have experienced before when I reluctantly used the subjugation weapon <White Lycoris>.

"Well...!"

It was obvious that Origami unknowingly overused her brain power when facing Tohka who had returned to his full strength, which prevented him from fighting for long.

Knowing this, Origami gritted her teeth with regret and continued to lie on her back while beating the ground.

──What a match, what a fight with the elves.In the end, she just overstretched herself to finally catch up with Tohka's power.

However, just catching up, how to defeat?

And being unable to defeat the elves doesn't mean that she still doesn't have the power to defeat her enemies! ?

At the end of the test, Tobiichi Origami still doesn't have the power to defeat the elves.

This is a very realistic, even cruel reality.At least, for Tobiichi Origami, it was a cruel reality.

"I......"

Origami stretched out her trembling hands to the sky, like a devout believer praying to the gods.

Of course, Origami doesn't believe in gods.Ever since the day she witnessed her parents being murdered five years ago, the word "god" had disappeared from Origami's mind.

However, if──

There really are gods and demons in this world, and no matter what the cost to Origami, she will definitely beg for their help, even if she has to sacrifice her heart to achieve her goal.

She knew the idea didn't fit her personality.It's extremely stupid to place your hopes on something that doesn't exist.The only one who can help you is yourself.If you have time to pray, it is better to exercise; if you have time to make wishes, it is better to formulate a strategy.The magician who has been practicing this all the way to this day is Tobiichi Origami.

But──Origami has nothing left.

Overcoming obstacles, training, sleepless nights, state-of-the-art equipment that puts a strain on the body, and actual combat close to death.I have done all the origami things imaginable, and I continue to accumulate strength to this day.

The result is this.

The power gained from sacrificing everything and striving for excellence will still not be able to defeat the elves in the end.

Origami has gone through a long struggle, and the only thing waiting at the end is this cruel reality.

"I—"

The thought of giving up suddenly flashed through Origami's mind.

She breathed out a weak breath, and feebly lowered her hand covering the sky.

──However, at this moment...

【──Hey, let me tell you... do you want power? 】

Chapter 476 I want...the power to defeat the elves!

【──Hey, let me tell you... do you want power? 】

From Origami's ears, a voice that could not be distinguished was male or female.

"Huh—?"

Hearing the sudden words, Origami opened her eyes wide and sat up unsteadily.

Then it was discovered that there was "something" standing at the source of the sound who did not know the true identity of Lushan.

It is something that can only be described as "something".You can clearly recognize that he exists there, but you can't see his actual appearance.Is the resolution of existence too low?There is even an illusion that the whole thing is shrouded in noise.

"what are you?"

Origami cannot help but use "what" rather than "who" to express. "Something" seemed to have sensed Origami's thoughts, and chuckled as if it was ridiculous.

[What I am, it doesn’t matter now.The point is, what’s your answer?Do you...want power?Do you want to have unparalleled power without losing to anyone? 】

"!!!"

Origami frowned and held her breath.

For a moment, she wondered whether she was insane because of the damage caused by using the manifest device.This situation is obviously abnormal.You must be crazy to deal with this kind of thing.

However, the answer to this question is obviously obvious.

If she didn't long for power, why would she join the DEM club?If it wasn't for revenge, she wouldn't have joined the DEM Club.

Before that, Origami had tried his best to give everything he had for revenge and strength!

However, the cruel reality told her that even so, she could barely catch up with Tohka in his prime.

Although this record is enough to make her one of the strongest humans, after all, the number of people in this world who can fight elves one-on-one can be counted on one hand.

But so what?The girl named Tobiichi Origami didn't work so hard just for these false reputations.She did this for revenge!

And revenge requires strength!

Therefore, Origami responded subconsciously and without hesitation.

"Of course I want power!"

"I... want power. No matter what I have to give up or sacrifice, I will not hesitate! I want to be able to achieve my long-cherished wish, a powerful power! I want... to allow me to defeat the elves, Give me the power to take revenge!”

【yes? 】

"Something" answered briefly.

For some reason, even though I couldn't see his/her expression──but I felt like "something" was sneering for a moment.

【──Then, I will give it to you.Give you the power you desire. 】

"Something" said, holding out something to Origami.

It was a gem-like object emitting a pure white radiance.That dreamy light instantly captured Origami's gaze.

"This is......"

[If you want power, reach out. 】

"..."

Although Origami frowned in confusion, she slowly reached out her hand...to touch the gem.

In an instant...

"what?!"

The jewel released a dazzling light, and then floated into the air──was sucked into Origami's chest.

"what happened......"

Origami looked down at her chest and murmured blankly, but the gem had long since disappeared.

"What was it just—"

Origami raised her head and was about to ask, but stopped talking.Because "something" that was standing in front of her just now suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"..."

Is it really a hallucination seen by myself who is stuck in a limit state?Origami made such a conclusion and put her hand on her forehead.

However, at this time...

"what...?"

The heart beat violently with a "thump", and Origami frowned.

It feels like a brand new heart has been generated in the body, releasing scorching blood that is different from the past to the whole body.Origami involuntarily fell to her knees on the spot because of this strange feeling she had never experienced before.

"Ah...ah...ah...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... ah... ah... ah... "

In the hazy state of consciousness...

Origami felt as if she had been reborn into another existence.

at the same time--

"......!What happened!"

Hearing the siren that suddenly sounded at the Tengu garrison base of the Ground Self-Defense Force, AST captain Ryoko Kusakabe shouted.

Logically speaking, it should be the time for AST training, but──because of some reason today, she came to the control room.

Hearing Liaozi's voice, the control officer immediately operated the console, then screamed "Ouch!" and held his breath.

"This...this is a very strong spiritual wave reaction!"

"Lingbo reaction...is this also a good thing DEM did!"

Liaozi frowned angrily.

That's right.In fact, several spiritual wave reactions have been detected since just now.

'Berserker', 'Diva', and - 'Princess'.

In particular, 'Princess''s reaction increased in strength from the middle of the battle, showing her power from past battles.

These monsters appeared in the town, and the AST Ryouko and other members, who were formed with the purpose of defeating the elves, still stayed in this place for a very simple reason.That is──DEMIndustry.

The company put pressure on AST through the Ministry of Defense on the grounds that it was going to conduct a special exercise.

Therefore, even though Ryouko and others knew that elves appeared on the street, they could only stay in the control room and stare at the radar.
