The elf who started the battle

The fog was rising, and in just a moment, the entire battlefield was shrouded in white fog. Except for the fire caused by the explosion of the missile, everyone on Fraxinas could see nothing.

At the same time, within Fraxinus.

""

After a period of wordless silence, Shidou finally spoke:

"Can I do it?"

Thinking of Kotori's question just now, Shido felt as if he was in a dream and unreal. Can he really do it?

"After seeing Tohka's current situation, if you still have doubts, it doesn't matter."

"Ahhh"

Shidou scratched his hair irritably, and then slapped himself on the cheek with both hands.Then, he slowly raised his lowered gaze and expressed his decision.

"Please help me, Kotori, I want to save her"

"Ha ha."

Kotori raised her baton in seeming pleasure.

"This is my good brother."

Then, he changed his body direction and said to the crew members below the bridge:

"All members, prepare to implement the first level strategy"

"Yes"

The crew simultaneously began operating the controls.

Kotori licked her lips while looking at this scene.

"Then let our war begin."

In the dark alley, looking at the AST members who were carefully groping for direction in the mist, Hina's mouth outlined a slight arc, and the blue light emitted from the staff in her hand became brighter and brighter.

"The War Begins"

The pattering rain wetted his white hair. He clenched the anti-elf rifle in his hand, and Origami moved slowly against the wall behind him.Thick fog and dense rain lines blocked my vision. It had been nearly 10 minutes since I was separated from my teammates, but the communication tool could not receive any signal. This space seemed to be completely isolated from the outside world.

"Is it okay to call here?"

After being transported to the ground by the transmission device installed under Fraxinus, Shidou spoke into the small headset attached to his right ear.

"Yes, the elves should be in the thick fog. Don't mess up your first contact with the elves."

"understood."

After Shidou finished speaking with sweat dripping down his cheeks, he took back his hand that was on the headset.Then, take a deep breath to calm your heartbeat.

Shido is currently located in a large department store erected in front of the shopping street. Although the front is currently shrouded in thick fog, and all that can be seen is the vast fog and dense rain streaks, but fortunately, communication can still be maintained here.

All in all, it is said that the Hermit seems to be an elf that appears frequently, so by integrating the elf's movement patterns with Reine's thinking and analysis, we can roughly estimate her route.

Of course, with the changes in AST's battle methods, the route of travel may also change accordingly.However, when the time comes, all we need to do is bring Shidou back and then go to the next predicted location.

Ast's main equipment is not suitable for fighting indoors. Of course, they may also use the same method as Tohka to destroy buildings to force out the elves.

However, in a short period of time, they should still wait quietly for the elves to leave the building on their own.Then, this short gap, which may be a few minutes or 10 minutes, is the precious time when Shido can talk to the elves on the battlefield.

Shidou recalled that in mid-April, he was also wearing this headset and following Ratatosk's instructions to talk to Tohka.He never expected that just one month later, he would return to the battlefield again, but there was nothing he could do about it.For unknown reasons, Shido possesses extraordinary power.It is said that as long as you use that power, you can not only prevent the space shock from making another sound, but also make Ast stop all attacks on the elves.Moreover, that was exactly what Shidou hoped for.

"Oh, that's true"

Shido sighed softly because the way to accomplish the mission was to pursue the elf and let her kiss him.It was really difficult for Shidou.Moreover, the most important thing is that when entering the range shrouded in thick fog, communication with Fraxinus will be interrupted. In other words, by then, Shido will have to talk to the elves on his own, and he will not be able to He would get any help from Ratatosk. This was what really worried Shido.

Groping along the wall and entering the thick fog, Shidao carefully avoided the fragments of buildings under his feet that were damaged by AST gunfire. Suddenly, Shidao's body froze.

"Are you also here to bully Yoshina?"

There was a sudden sound above his head, and Shidou quickly raised his head.

The girl whom Ast and Ratatosk called the Hermit was currently floating in the sky in an inverted posture that defied gravity.

"No~ Yoshina is a gentle child, you can't hurt her, huh huh"

The body that was originally upside down in the air turned around and returned to its normal posture, then landed on the ground.

Then, the hand puppet's mouth began to speak three times.

"Hey, big brother, are you here too?"

The hand puppet tilted its head deftly.

Shidou immediately turned his head and looked behind him.

"Is it Hina?"

I saw a bright blue light passing through the thick fog and dense rain lines, gradually approaching.

A petite body shrouded in silver-white robes, and a staff emitting bright blue light.Hina, our protagonist finally appears.

"Shido, why do you appear in such a dangerous place?"

"Ah, I, it's because"

"Ratatosk, I understand."

Easily interrupting Shidou's words, Hina turned to look at the elf girl in front of her, the elf girl who suddenly disappeared that day.

"Yoshina"

"Yeah, how about Yoshina? Isn't Yoshina's name nice?"

"Nice name"

Hina looked at the bunny hand puppet that kept shaking.

"Do you know Shido?"

"Shido"

The rabbit hand puppet tilted its head deftly.

"Is it the boy next to you?"

"Um"

"how come"

The rabbit hand puppet shook its head. It was hard to imagine how the girl could perform such difficult movements with her hands.

"How could Yoshina know such a boy? Just look at his lustful look, and you can tell that Yoshina can't possibly know him."

"Ah, what are you talking about? I'm so horny."

"Hey, didn't you? Didn't you just look like a picture?"

"Um"

"Wherever there is"

Seeing that Hina looked at him in a strange way, Shido's face turned red and he stumbled to explain.

"I don't know you at all. I'm just a high school student who happened to pass by here."
