Episode 166: Conclusion! The Mysterious Beautiful Girl’s Great Victory!
Oh no, the wobbling in my hips is gone but the Scholar has already fled.
Pretending to enjoy the hunt for the Scholar like Sorcière does, it was simply a mistake.
What’s going on with the Star Reader’s Staff?
“That’s strange, I had complete control over her mind.”
I had planned to leave the Scholar a cripple on stage and end it there.
But for some reason, she went berserk and disappeared somewhere.
Really, this is troublesome.
Still, chasing her is fun too!
“St-stop… don’t come near me…!”
The Scholar is desperately trying to escape from me.
She trips over something occasionally, crying as she gets up and runs again.
I slowly follow behind her.
Dragging the massive scythe around, creating sparks, continuing the moves of a powerful character.
“I’d appreciate it if you didn’t scrape it against the floor so much. If the paint chips, I’ll have to fix it.”
Sometimes it’s okay though.
Actually, I need some other mysterious weapons besides the scythe for fighting in tight spaces. Let’s make something using Angel material!
“Hmm. What would suit me? I want to avoid melee weapons. And since it’s such a good opportunity, I’d prefer a weapon that can utilize the Angel’s abilities well.”
Solcière holding a weapon of death… sounds cool.
Let’s make a new costume just for that!
A fishtail dress that looks more like an elegant Young Lady form.
A Mysterious Beautiful Girl who gracefully controls death… geez, being undefeated is becoming a problem!
“…??? Are you the type to forget inconvenient memories?”
Forget? I’ve always been overwhelming others and winning, haven’t I?
Suffering from loneliness due to being the strongest?
Really, the Star Reader’s Staff says strange things.
“H-Hey! Who are you?! What’s your purpose?!”
The Scholar is still pathetically pitiful.
Maybe it’s time to just kill her now.
I have no interest if she’s not a beautiful girl or an original character. Get lost.
“You’re just coincidentally acting in accordance with the world’s goodness, right? Essentially, you’re a terrible and selfish person, aren’t you?”
Is that wrong?
“Not particularly? People are like that anyway.”
Then do you like it?
“Like♥”
Me too♥
“St-stop. What will killing me accomplish…? P-please help…”
“–I’ll give you another chance.”
I allowed the Scholar to regain Reiko’s ability.
She seems to understand instinctively as she stares at her palm in shock.
I crouch down in front of her, flick my hair behind my ear meaninglessly, and smile.
It’s good that you got to see the face of the Mysterious Beautiful Girl before dying.
“Kill me with that power. Come on, what’s wrong?”
“…D-don’t lick me!”
While crying, the Scholar fires several ice shards at me.
However, none of them manage to hit me and pass by harmlessly.
This one is beyond saving.
Not worth seriously fighting the Mysterious Beautiful Girl.
“Hmph, that’s enough from you. Not even worth playing with.”
I snap my fingers more coolly than the Scholar.
As a result, a magic circle appears beneath her feet.
“Fufu, you mustn’t run away.”
“N-no, stop it!”
I bind the Scholar trying to escape with silver chains and hang her above the magic circle.
Automatic execution device, check!
I approach the Scholar bound mid-air and whisper.
“This magic interferes with your body and mind, gradually killing you. Starting from your feet, it will torment you slowly.”
“…H-hii! N-no, no, no, no! Stop it, please, help me!”
“Didn’t you kill people who begged for their lives until now?”
“It’s different! Those were necessary… for experiments! They deserved to die because they were ordinary! I intended to choose only those who should die, unlike me!”
“…That’s right.”
This one speaks smoothly but everything about her is awful.
She’s evil to the core!
Totally repulsive! The worst!
“That’s right, right! We hope you’ll learn from us. Us filled with compassion.”
Absolutely.
Since this one dying won’t sadden any beautiful girls, let’s just quickly kill her!
“To me, you’re just an ordinary person.”
“…Ah”
The desperate Scholar continues to beg for help with a pale face.
But I turn my back on her.
“W-wait! I-I shouldn’t die! …Aaaahhh! Noooo!”
Her screams echo.
Annoying, she should have kept quiet.
“Well, at this rate, she’ll be dead in less than three minutes. Let her scream as she pleases at the end.”
That’s right, isn’t it?
Alright, let’s continue our lily date!
Isn’t Toa hungry by now?
“Hahaha, then let’s start with lunch again!”
We are extremely satisfied after our Super Mysterious Beautiful Girl Time.
After all the fun, we happily slipped through the transfer magic circle with smiles.
■
“F-Foolishness! Sorcière… how dare you try to kill me!”
The Scholar left alone continues to shout madly.
Meanwhile, the interference starting from her feet turns her into particles of light continuously.
In a few minutes, she’ll leave behind only the magical particles equivalent to one person and vanish completely.
“Wh-why… am I suffering like this…!”
The Scholar tries desperately to free herself from the restraints.
But Solcière’s created silver chains aren’t something that human strength can break.
The more she struggles, the more she realizes death is approaching.
Just as the villain is about to meet a miserable end, something appears before her eyes.
“Hey, Scholar. How are you doing?”
“…?!”
The Scholar raises her head sharply.
And while her face lights up with relief and joy, she shouts.
“Nameless!”
“Yes, yes, it’s Nameless. Um, it seems like something serious is happening here, should I help?”
“Of course! Save me, save me!”
The Scholar pleads desperately.
On the other hand, Nameless pulls out a familiar chair from the extended realm and sits down.
“Phew, I’m tired.”
“You, what are you doing! Hurry up and save me, this me!”
“Hey, doesn’t this chair look familiar? I brought it along. Hehe, it still feels a little warm.”
“Such matters are irrelevant! H-hurry, save me!”
While the Scholar frantically begs for help, Nameless brings up an obviously inappropriate topic.
Nameless then produces a black chain while smiling.
“I’m talking about this chair.”
“G-gi…”
The chain wraps around the Scholar’s neck.
Unable to breathe properly, the Scholar can only groan as she tries to protest.
“Oh no, I tightened it too much.”
“K-khaa… khaa…”
While saying “bad bad,” Nameless loosens the chain.
Then, still sitting on the chair, tilts their head.
“Do you want to be saved?”
“A-ahh!”
The Scholar nods repeatedly.
Even someone treated this way unilaterally understands the hierarchy by now.
(Resisting this guy now would be bad. I’ll be wiped out without mercy.)
Flattering the strong is nothing new for the Scholar.
Thus, the Scholar begins to flatter the clearly stronger presence before them.
“Please, help me! Next time, I’ll win! Give me another chance!”
“Hmm”
“I’ll kill both Watatori Ryuko and Sorcière! So, please save me―eh?”
Suddenly, a hot sensation is felt at the chest.
Looking down, a sword is deeply embedded.
“What… ‘Act 1’―gaaaah!”
Black flames spread from the wound across the entire body.
The pain is so intense it feels like being burned by hellfire.
“All your nerves are being carefully burned. It hurts, doesn’t it?”
“Why… why?”
“Why, I wonder? Because you tried to kill that girl? Or because you looked down on her? Anyway, I planned to do this from the start.”
While stuffing a tart into their mouth retrieved from somewhere, Nameless smiles brightly.
Seeing this, the Scholar screams.
“F-follies! You gave it to me! The original Ice Phoenix Hall Rei! You helped me!”
“Hmm, did I? Anyway, I just need the fact that you’re dead. The S-Rank Clone technology is unnecessary, so I’ll erase it all. If it gets out, it could cause trouble. Like disposable dive gear that can use S-Rank powers might be created.”
“What are you saying, you fool! That doesn’t exist!”
The flames envelop the entire body.
Still, the Scholar can continue screaming only because Nameless allows it.
Nameless listens to the Scholar’s screams very comfortably.
“I’ve caused you quite a bit of trouble, so I’ll end it here.”
Saying that, Nameless creates a black frog.
The frog leaps and sticks to the Scholar’s neck.
“What is this thing?”
“That’s a bomb. Something that can definitely kill you.”
“N-n…”
The Scholar shuts their mouth in shock and fear.
Seeing that, Nameless, still seated, claps their hands once and says.
“I’ll give you a chance. If you answer my question correctly, I’ll save you. Got it?”
“A-aah”
Although it’s a whim of Nameless, it’s truly a lifeline for the Scholar.
“Then, the question. What am I to Sorcière?”
“……..Huh?”
“Hurry up and answer. 3, 2―”
Seeing Nameless count down, the Scholar hastily shouts.
“An enemy! That’s why we teamed up! To kill that guy and say ‘all done’… Huh? Wait, I get it! Turn her into a puppet and make her a pawn in your plan―”
They couldn’t finish that sentence.
Because halfway through, the Scholar’s head exploded and vanished.
Someone disappeared right before my eyes, meeting their end.
But Nameless laughs cheerfully.
“The correct answer was―my wonderful girlfriend!”
There’s no one left to respond to that insane statement.
The black flames burn the Scholar’s remains along with the silver chains and magic circle.
Watching that, Nameless claps their hands and takes another bite of the tart.
But suddenly stops just before taking a bite.
“Hmm… Was that too gruesome? I might throw up if I eat now?”
Tilting their head as if asking someone, Nameless smiles faintly and throws the tart into the expanded realm.
Then, putting away the chair as well, they nod satisfactorily.
“Well, let’s go then.”
A black transfer magic circle appears, and Nameless disappears into it.
Only coal and a tiny bit of ash remain at the site.
