Crush the Mechanical and Grotesque Puppets! 3
* * *
(I dont I dont get it)
Emi, with her usual expressionless face, but feeling dissatisfied deep down, grumbled.
Pipiii! Pipipipi!
Pipipipiiii!
The full-body armored soldiers rushed towards her, but she glanced at them nonchalantly.
She casually swung her Black Arms, which she had grown from her shoulders, in a horizontal sweep.
Pi
Pipi
Pipipii
The full-body armored soldiers couldnt even resist the speed of that giant whip-like attack, their bodies struck and blown away.
It was a blow that would have shattered the body of an ordinary human, leading to death.
However.
Pi pipi
Kyururururu
These guys are abnormally tough.
Even if she properly knocks them down, theyd get back up again and again, their armor dented and mangled, but seemingly without feeling any pain.
Haa
Seeing this scene, which had already been repeated several times, Emi sighed.
Im tired
She finally voiced her exhaustion.
Yes, shes tired.
She was supposed to just take some flowers to a hill on the outskirts of the city to fulfill the wish of an old woman she was indebted to.
Thats all she had to do.
But somehow, she ended up in a series of battles.
The Demon Lords army, a cult.
And now, these mysterious full-body armored soldiers.
She took a nap and her injuries healed to some extent, but she hasnt fully recovered from her fatigue.
How on earth had it come to this?
She doesnt understand at all.
<Its Emis fault for getting involved in things that dont concern her, right?>
Extra-sama, her mind roommate, said that in an exasperated tone.
<You attacked both the Demon Lords army and the cult because you were frustrated, right? And now youre tired, so its your own fault.>
Emi had nothing to say to that.
<Even now, its the same. You can just ignore these guys. Lets run away.>
Pipipipiiii!
While punching away another full-body armored soldier that attacked, Emi looked around.
Lying around were Kingdom soldiers, barely clinging to life.
And behind her, the good-for-nothing man she had just barely saved, was trembling, shielding the female soldier.
(I dont want to.)
<Why not?>
Here, Emi unclenched her fist, stretching her fingers.
And from her fingertips, she extended blades of mana, invisible to ordinary humans.
Great Mantis.
Pipipipiiii!
Emi, dancing gracefully, sliced at the attacking full-body armored soldiers with her Great Mantis!
Its sharpness is exceptional!
BACHII!
With that sound, sparks scattering, the full-body armored soldiers were sliced in two, top and bottom, and stopped moving.
Grandma lived in this town.
Perhaps finally wary of Emi, the full-body armored soldiers, surrounding her, no longer carelessly approached.
This is a place of memories.
Emi muttered.
Her eyes, ignited with fighting spirit.
Fwoosh!
And with a powerful burst, jet-black haze erupted from her entire body!
<I understand. Youre stubborn, Emi. If thats what youve decided, I wont say anything more.>
Sensing that fighting spirit and killing intent welling up from Emis soul once again, Extra-sama sighed and gave up on escaping.
<But Emi, dont let your guard down. These guys are quite troublesome. I have an idea look at their cross-section.>
Told that, Emi looked down at the full-body armored soldier lying on the ground, sliced in two.
It was cleanly bisected, upper and lower body For an ordinary human, blood or whatever should be overflowing from that cross-section, with flesh and bones exposed.
But that wasnt the case with these guys.
Whats visible in their cross-section is not flesh and bone, but wires and cables.
Whats scattered around is not flesh and blood, but some kind of metal parts.
And also.
Crackle, crackle!
Occasionally, with such sounds, electric currents ran through, and sparks scattered from their cross-section.
In other words, these guys.
As she thought for a moment when she crushed one before.
Machines?
<Thats right. I think these guys are probably>
Hey, hey, heeeeeyyyy!?
At that moment.
Interrupting Emi and Extra-samas conversation, pushing through the full-body armored soldiers a single man appeared.
Its a man with his entire face painted white, except for sloppily applied lipstick and purple eyeliner.
His hair is tied up in two buns on both sides of his head, and hes wearing baggy clothes with excessive decorations.
You, you, youuuu! Suddenly appearing, what are you doingggg!? Please dont interfereeee!
That man Chubos the jester, making strange movements, shouted in a ridiculous voice.
