Chapter 306 – #2-74 and the End of the Banquet Is Ripe (2)
-Pull it out!
-Quickly dig it up!
Ayu’s voice can be heard muttering from the strange guards.
However, their voices are somewhat dead compared to before.
This topic, which enjoys making fun of and humiliating people without hesitation, has a somewhat violent flavor, so this is it.
I feel like I can’t help but laugh at the foolishness of the guys called Mekraq.
Slowly… !
Sharp claws of ice are approaching in front of your eyes.
A glove made of ice, like blue sapphire, that reflects light translucently.
Beyond that, you can see blue sapphire eyes that are as inorganic as a doll.
Danae did not resent Blue Sapphire, who had become the enemy’s puppet and was trying to gouge out her eyes.
I’ve done too many things to blame myself for blaming others.
It was to the point where I thought that one day the karma I had built up would collapse and attack me.
Therefore, there is only an appreciation of ‘what will come’ and no complaints or anything.
Of course, I don’t want my eyes gouged out, nor do I want to become a slave to that stupid male bastard.
However, because the head turns quickly, resignation is also fast.
Rather than struggling ugly, it would be better to be resigned and accept everything… I thought it would be much more comfortable.
Just one thing.
If you have any concerns, is it about blue sapphire?
‘In the end, I couldn’t save you.’
‘… I wanted to atone.’
I made a mistake with Blue Sapphire in the past.
It was a child who believed in him and followed him, but he tricked him and handed him over to monsters.
‘Should I say it was a time of wandering or a time of rebellion?’
It was a time when it was a nuisance to many people, including Blue Sapphire. It caused a nuisance to quite a few magical girls.
But to be honest, I have no intention of reflecting on what happened back then.
She is a selfish and mean woman who only cares about herself.
At the time, she simply made the choice she thought was best for her own benefit, and now, leading the magical girls of the [Liberation Front] And assuming their command, she simply did so because she thought it was best to increase Danae’s own survival rate. .
‘… Still.’
‘Even if I don’t regret it.’
‘I wanted to apologize. Just for Blue.’
I don’t have feelings like this with other magical girls.
I have never once felt sorry, not even for one person who was truly precious to me.
But only Blue Sapphire felt that way. Why?
Because he was a good follower? Because he is an innocent child who knows how to trust others differently than himself? … Well, I don’t know.
… It would be tacky to find and analyze the reasons for each of these feelings.
And in the first place, there was no point in thinking about such things now.
So, there is only this much that the cliff can do.
“… It’s okay, Blue.”
Still, the guards are booing.
And Blue Sapphire’s hands, the ice gloves she had created and the sharp, awl-like nails at the end, were still in front of her eyes and did not move.
At first glance, it seems like a pause, but isn’t it taking too long for that to be true?
Blue Sapphire still has lost the light in her eyes, expressionless as if she were wearing a mask.
However, Dan-ae, who is sensitive to the emotions of others, was able to faintly see a different light mixing into that expressionless expression.
Embarrassment, tension, fear, denial.
There is a faint light of emotion.
Even though he has been brainwashed and has become a puppet, he is probably aware of this situation to some extent.
Of course, it could be a simple illusion. It may be an overly arbitrary interpretation that is only beneficial to oneself.
This is the last sight I will see with my eyes anyway, so what is so wrong with interpreting what I see as I wish?
So――
“It’s okay, Blue.”
“No matter what you do to me, it’s not your fault.”
“So it’s okay not to blame yourself.”
“You’re not bad. There is nothing wrong with you. The only bad ones are the trash down there and me, who has accumulated karma in various ways.”
“There’s nothing wrong with blue.”
Dan-ae says that with anger.
Blue Sapphire is a sincere magical girl, so she will definitely blame herself for this.
It may not be of much use to say this, but I say it in the hope that it will provide some comfort.
“Hey Blue Sapphire! Do it right! In action! “There is no need to delay any longer!”
“Slowly, but surely… Gouge out those eyes, so everyone can see!”
“I’m punishing that damn bitch!!”
From below, the unlucky voice of Warden Bennell could be heard, a voice filled with obvious madness.
At the same time, Blue Sapphire’s vicious ice armor, aimed at her eyes, made a clanking sound again.
It seems like time, which had been stopped, is finally starting to move.
Blue Sapphire, which had stopped moving for some reason, starts moving again with the guard’s command.
The cold fingernail touched the area near Danae’s eyelid.
Danae is not even thinking about closing her eyes.
Until the very end, she seems to be trying to capture the scene before her eyes.
With trembling eyelids, Danae spoke for the last time.
――I’m sorry.
What do those words of apology really mean?
Is this an apology for having placed such a heavy burden on Blue Sapphire?
Or maybe he was just apologizing for not being able to get her out of here.
If not, is it about the atrocities she committed against Blue Sapphire in the past?
Maybe not all, maybe all of them.
Now, I guess that was a good thing.
And.
Blue Sapphire’s hand moved.
* * *
Quad deud deuk!!!
What was heard was a destructive sound unsuitable for such an act, such as digging up soft flesh and removing an eyeball.
Danae blinks her eyes and looks at the scene.
Her hand, which was aiming at her own eyes just a moment ago, her gauntlet made of ice that looked so vicious.
Passing by her head instead of digging into her own eyes.
And just out of sight, she was digging her icy claws like an excavator into the icy wall that bounded her cliff.
Although it was equally ice created by blue sapphire, it was probably created because the density and strength between the two were completely different.
“… Baby…”
A voice was heard. It was Blue Sapphire’s voice.
“Cliff… Frozen… You… !”
Blue Sapphire frowned and called out the name of her cliff.
She moves her arms with him.
Kkudeudeudeudeuk… !! Kwazizig!!!
Part of the ice wall that bound the cliff was torn off.
“Eww… Uhhhhh… !!!”
Kwasik! Quack! Kkkk!!
Right, right, right, right, right, right, right!!
The ice wall that the body was buried in begins to be broken, torn off, or dug out.
The wall of the ice wall, which was like an ice crystal, broke into pieces, and eventually the ice wall that bound the cliff was completely removed.
“Frozen… Niiiii… !!!”
Blue Sapphire’s arms supported the cliff and pulled it out.
Barely, he was able to free himself from the block of ice that was restraining his body.
“… Blue? How?”
“Oh my god, really… It felt like I was dreaming. Just now, I came to my senses. I’m sorry, Dan-ae. Because it caused a nuisance in many ways.”
Blue Sapphire hugs Danae’s tattered, smelly body covered in various dirt.
The face is a mixture of regret, sadness, and other complex emotions.
The moist eyes look like they might shed tears at any moment.
However, the mask-like expression from just moments ago had completely disappeared.
Ah, it’s a blue sapphire.
It’s not the puppet-like face from a moment ago.
It’s a face just like her.
Innocent, sincere, showing emotions…
“There’s a lot I want to say, but I’ll say it later.”
Blue Sapphire manipulated her staff, which she was using as a platform, to lift her body even higher.
Blue sapphire comes to mind, almost reaching the ceiling of the wide and high banquet hall.
“I’m going to clean up this place quickly first.”
Blue Sapphire spoke in a determined voice and stretched out her opposite arm to support the cliff.
Then, icicles like blue crystals begin to appear in large quantities, surrounding her and filling the ceiling with the banquet hall.
Each sharp point was aimed at her enemies below.
Magical girls are being held hostage among them, but it’s not like they’re avoiding and attacking their allies.
“Radish… What… ?”
Just below, the warden, who still seems to not fully understand the situation, is looking up.
Blue Sapphire doesn’t know exactly what happened to her.
However, I knew intuitively that that man had played a trick on me and that he was the culprit behind everything.
‘That man must… !’
Therefore, they prioritized annihilating him and were about to launch an attack.
―――――!!
“Ugh?!”
Suddenly, Blue Sapphire narrowly dodged a thunderbolt-like figure shooting up from below to the ceiling.
Quang! With a loud sound, the lightning struck the ceiling as if it was going to break, and then fell again.
It’s not lightning. The one who rose up from the bottom to here was Noah, who was still under the control of the jailer.
Noah’s body was shining with light golden magic.
“I will rule out the master’s enemies… !!”
As soon as she confirmed Blue Sapphire’s treason, she immediately poured all of her remaining medicine into her mouth.
With her magic that can create any medicine, she created a ‘body strengthening medicine’ that lasts for a very short time.
Her original fighting ability was inferior in many ways, but as she gained temporary strength by consuming a large amount of medicine at once, an evil aura like a natural disaster was felt.
Blue Sapphire canceled and destroyed the bundle of icicles that had been created to annihilate the guards, and instead targeted Noah and activated a new spell.
“【Sapphire Cannon】――!!”
With the chanting of Blue Sapphire, a huge icicle is created next to her.
A chunk of sharp ice crystal, whose size was completely different from the one that had been made in a bunch of just moments ago, eventually fell like a meteorite or cannonball and flew towards Noah.
