I Favor the Villainess

267. Laughter

I realized that my consciousness was back in the server room.

It seemed to have collapsed sometime, and the Pope, Lily, and Elie looked at me worriedly.

Have you noticed, Ray-Taylor?

"Ray-san... I'm glad..."

"I was worried...."

When I woke up, the three of them all looked relieved.

The Pope was as expressionless as ever, but Lily and Elie seemed quite worried, and Lily and the others were half tearful.

I would like to apologize and comfort you, but I need to ask you more than that.

Where's Claire?

There was no sign of Claire before she dived into the system.

There was a successful response to her unconsciousness, but I didn't know how it would be reflected in reality.

"Claire-François is here."

When I was told, Claire was held in the Pope's arms.

"Great....."

Apparently, they succeeded in recapture.

Claire's face was bleeding well and she was about to wake up right away.

"I didn't think Claire-François was really coming back to life."

It was time for a stunning, yet truly impressive voice.

She was in a completely unchanged position before I dived into the system.

He uses his holographic body to reveal his surprise.

"You underestimated my bond with Claire, time.That's the end of your evil plan. "

"Yes, since Claire-François is back, she has administrative authority."

Well then...

"Yeah."

At that time, the face of time was dyed with joy.

If it stays that way, then...



The floor between the mainframe and us broke and something huge came up from below.

That's not one thing either.

The number is not enough with both hands.

"Ah, really... ah...!"

"Monster...?"

"No, that's... a scientific weapon."

The Pope corrects the words of Lily and Elie, who said they were frightened.

They initially appeared to be just lumps of metal.

The surface has a black metallic gloss and a hard-like texture.

In addition, countless cracks entered, scattered, recombined, and turned into an abnormal monster.

"Kimira...?"

The material is different, but that's the Kimira I defeated with Claire before.

The metallic deformation of its eyes sparkled gold.

"I designed it from the deep consciousness of Claire-François.I can't do it anymore if I'm fully delegated, but before that happens, it's different.I want you all to die here for the survival of mankind. "

Together with the words of time, the chimeras raised their deafening shouts.

Zushin, every step he took, the entire server room seemed to shake.

You told me to die.

What do you want to do?

"No, I don't know what to do, Pope. It's not something you can let go of no matter what you think."

So you're going to fight with that?

"Looks like a winning shot....."

It's the reaction of the four of us, but there's generally one feeling - it's impossible to deal with someone like that.

No matter how small Kimira is, she is five or six meters long.

I tried shooting Judecka, but she didn't get a scratch.

"Of course I won't let you escape."

The server room door closed behind us.

Apparently, the delay operation on the defense system that pierced the council hole ran out of time.

Perhaps you should have noticed when those chimeras came out, but it's a later festival.

"... it's so loud."

Claire, you're awake.

"Worst wake up ever. What, that annoying, ugly monster....."

"That's it...."

I explained the situation briefly.

Claire yawned too much.

"The point is, how do we get rid of it?It's not easy. "

"Defeat... that one...?"

Isn't that right?

I wanted to say how, but Claire has a confident expression.

"I'm not sure, but I'd like to try it."

"What are you doing?"

"Look, there's something time has taught me.I've always wanted to use it, but I didn't really have the opportunity to do so, so I was throbbing. "

"Ah...."

Well, speaking of which, there was.

After all, I had no chance to use it in the Demon King Battle, and I was sorry because Claire was absent for a while.

"I won't let you! Burn it down!"

Following the words of Time, which showed how impatient they were, Kimira and the others opened their mouths.

Something like light leaks out from the back of your throat.

I'm sure it's quite a powerful attack, commensurate with the enemies coming out of this scene.

I must be sorry if it hits me.

But...

"Well then... do you want to join me?"

"Yeah, come on."

I didn't feel like losing at all anymore.

Claire and I tied one hand to our lovers and turned the wand we had in the other hand towards Kimira.

Your connected hands are overflowing with power.

"I'm Magic Ray."

"Well, then, I'm Absolute Zero."

It is, of course, a chorus that we release in this phase.

"Go away, Ray-Taylor, Claire-François!"

"It disappears..."

"It's you!!"

Wrapped in a burning ecstasy, I felt the magic melting with Claire.

The mixed magic runs around the body and focuses on the fingertips and wand.

There was a conflicting and harmonious light, like Claire and myself, mixed with fire and water and conflicting attributes.

The server room was wrapped in light.

"... is that a lie...?"

The stunned voice that echoed after the sightseeing light had subsided was from time.

The flow of light from Claire and my chorus was wiping out the chimeras without a trace.

"Are you still going to do it? I don't know why, but I'm doing great.I'll always be with you if it comes. "

"If Claire wants that, I can't let her go out with me.What a daughter-in-law. "

"My wife...?"

"Here's the story. Come on, what do you want, time?"

I told him to provoke, but time didn't show any more aggression.

"Absolutely... this is why humans..."

"Can I take that as a grudge against the loser?"

"Yes, that's right, Ray-Taylor.You have successfully migrated administrator permissions.I can't hurt Claire-François anymore. "

"Fufufu... fufufu... we won!Whoa, whoa, whoa! "

Claire's laughter keeps getting more and more comfortable.

Do you really think this time it's really over?

"Did you lose...? After all, is it humans who can't be completely controlled...?"

"Oh, you've come to understand something called a human being."

"It's too late to understand now....."

"That's not true.You must continue to walk together as a good friend of mankind. "

"Friends...?"

Time looked surprised.

"Something's wrong? Did you spend an incredible amount of time with me?There are no more friends than you. "

"I'm... a friend..."

The time to chew repeatedly made her look like she had been poisoned.

Claire is bringing in AI, not just humans.

I can't handle this.

"Time"

"What is it, Ray-Taylor?"

Claire won't give it to you, will she?

"... I don't know. I've given up administrator privileges, but I'm a sophisticated AI that can stick to a lot of things."

"Really? Fufufu...."

"Fufufufu...."

"You're both scared of your faces."

"Whose fault do you think it is?"

"Yeah...."

Claire says, "Why are you blaming me?"

Because of this, it brings people who are unconscious - but also people AI...

"I don't know, but it's okay to settle down on one thing, right?Then let's get back to the ground.This place is kind of restless. "

Well, I agree.

Elie's suggestion was the right one.

Lily agrees, and the Pope nods.

"Please leave the time and loop system with me.I won't do anything wrong. "

"Will you take over?"

"It's not me.It is a work that is too heavy for individuals to carry.I will recruit my allies to set out the proper procedures for making human decisions. "

……

"The more important it is, the more dangerous it is to decide alone.We all have to share responsibility and risk. "

"... you seem human."

"Yeah."

Claire said so and turned her heel.

"Come on, Ray."

"Yes, Claire."

"Let's go home... to our house"

Yes!

When I jumped to Claire, I hugged her as much as I could.
