“You got it after seeing it, right? Thanks to you, my body’s in good form”
Setsu slowly began to walk and moved up to in front of Creasyls’ eyes.
Both sides began to glare at each other, and then Setsu opened his mouth.
“That reminds me, there’s something I have to pay you back for”
“I do not remember having given you anything”
“But you have. Here, payback”
“Gah ――――”
Setsu drove his fist into Creasyl’s face.
Creasyl who had never received any sort of impact, now bounced on the ground, blown far away.
“This is my payback to you for getting hit by your <Banish> and losing various things. Now, let’s start. You want to kill mankind right?”
“ …”
After finally stopping at the edge of the crater, Creasyl headed back to before Setsu with one step.
◆◆◆
Touma, seeing the spectacle of Setsu sending Creasyl flying, was reflexively taken aback.
“Amazing… He blew away Creasyl that far with one blow…”
“I have trained him after all, of course he would”
“Wh-!? You’re?”
“I am the god of destruction, Destroia. The god who formed a pair with Creasyl. As for my position, I would be your allies. Now, let me see that girl’s body”
Destroia went down on her knees beside the collapsed Yuuhi.
Yuuhi continuously breathed heavily and she has fallen into a state where she could hardly be called conscious.
She was wandering around the space between life and death, where she could die before long.
“――――I see, it is compensation for using too much of her life. She will not hold for long like this”
“… Can she be saved?”
“Let me try”
Destroia put her hand on Yuuhi’s body.
Black light leaked from there and began to wrap up Yuuhi’s whole body.
(She overused its destructive properties… And the compensation for that is the destruction of her body’s constitution. That she hadn’t destroyed her internal organs is preferable. I can rescue her in any case, but――――hm?)
As she probed into Yuuhi’s body, she noticed a certain something.
(Hum… This girl surprised me. Just when I thought I felt miniscule amount of divine powers, she is a human who received that one’s divine protection. It would seem only her life has been protected by that divine protection. Of course she lived in this body)
“Say, will she really be alright!?”
“Ah, yes! I will heal her immediately even if you are not worrying about her. My powers are the destruction of all creation! This will be done if I just destroy the ‘compensation’ itself that she is bearing”
“Destroy the ‘compensation’?”
Immediately following that, the sound of something breaking resounded in Touma’s ears.
The sound was seemingly heard from Yuuhi’s body, so Touma observed her body.
“Wha-”
Thereupon, the carbonisation surrounding Yuuhi’s whole body returned to her original skin in the blink of an eye.
Her expression too turned calm and she completely regained consciousness in the end.
“Hn… huh…?”
“You’re awake. You should not move for the time being. Your magic power and physical strength has yet to return after all” “What- what about Yuki-kun…!”
Yuuhi grasped at Destroia.
While looking surprised, Destroia requested Touma for assistance.
“Hey. If you’re looking for Setsu, he’s there”
“Ah…”
Touma forcibly tore off Yuuhi from Destroia and pointed towards the center of the crater.
Seeing Setsu there, Yuuhi stroked down her chest as if relieved.
“I’m so glad… it’s really Yuki-kun…”
Tears began to flow after some delay, and Yuuhi then wiped those away.
“I, I have to go back him up!”
“You should stop that”
“Eh?”
Destroia stopped Yuuhi from trying to get up.
“The battle starting from now on is not a matter you humans can step into. If you do not want to die in vain, stay put and watch them here”
“But! Even Yuki-kun is a human――――”
“That is not correct”
Destroia denied Yuuhi’s words before she finished saying everything.
Yuuhi felt the significance of her clearly different atmosphere from her attitude.
“Watch it properly. That is a fight between inhuman beings”
