Saya held her hair down against the strengthening wind and returned her tray to the kitchen
A break in the work had just arrived She set down her bundle of sales slips and
took a break with the other Cupid-cosplaying waitresses
More than just the foot traffic outside there was apparently a helicopter flying nearby
Saya the two you invited seem to have hit it off
Hm Wow you’re right
They’re holding hands What’s with that I thought you said they weren’t a couple
I didn’t think they werebut maybe they are
She had forgotten all about Mutsuki and Machina in the special seat
They were holding hands and looking each other in the eye
There was too much noise to hear what they were saying and she did not want to interrupt them by getting closer Then again it looked like they were only staring at each other without talking
(Those two really do make a cute couple)
The wind grew even stronger so she narrowed her eyes as she thought
She had noticed during their summer break camping trip that Mutsuki and Machina had a good atmosphere together
After all Mutsuki had always been looking at her since the spring
(It’s a little too late for Ange to join in Although I personally would have preferred it if he hooked up with Lu )
She brushed her hair out of her face
(Those two must already feel the same way about each other)
Saya Run away
Only then did she realize the wind was too strong It was so strong it was about to blow her away
And things were far too noisy It was more than just people enjoying the festival
The sound of a helicopter’s rotors was abnormally loud
And both the wind and the noise were coming from directly overhead
The helicopter seemed to be military It was oddly angular and it was flying this way at only 5 meters up
And the Gatling gun below the cockpit had its three muzzles aimed her way
The helicopter’s rotors the wind and the screams were all drowned out by the roar of gunfire

That was a painful mistake Machina regretted allowing the enemy to get so close
The reason why was obvious She had been holding hands with Fujita Mutsuki
Her mind had gone blank and she had failed to keep tabs on her surroundings She could not believe she had overlooked such a large enemy
The attack was made by an AH-1Z Viper attack helicopter There was no one in the cockpit so it had been made into a Springloaded She could tell that much but
She had thought the Gatling gun was targeting Fujita Mutsuki but it turned toward the surrounding customers and waitresses who were unrelated to any of this
This was an indiscriminate attack
Summon hard carbon Forcibly inject the target with the all-range anti-lithography code
Golden threads left her hand and just barely reached the gun in time Bullets were launched from the flame-spewing machineguns but their direction was smoothly changed by the solid threads and they only punched holes in the ground The heated wind pushed at them and the ground shook as it was turned to Swiss cheese so Saya and the others fell onto their butts But luckily no one was hit by a bullet
Mission failed Switching to Plan Bpositive
The helicopter did not give up on its massacre With the central gun neutralized it instead ignited a missile on each of the wings
But by then Machina’s threads had already reached the helicopter as a whole She overwrote the machine’s command for an emergency shutdown of the missiles
At the same time the helicopter itself was given new orders and it slowly descended where it was
A military helicopter was one of the greatest weapons of the publicly-known world but a mere Springloaded was no match for a Witch
Fujita this way
And because she won so decisively she knew this had to be no more than a diversion
The enemy would be on their way to reach Mutsuki She had already sent another thread to the seat where Mutsuki sat in a daze and she attached it to him to bring him to safety
But the enemy was faster
Another girl stood on the heart-shaped table
She was short her red hair was cut to shoulder length and she wore a fox mask
She held a strange sword in her hand It looked like human and animal hands legs and faces sewn together into a rod shape with a blade crudely attached to one end
It had already cut away the golden thread meant to secure Mutsuki
Hee hee I’m impressed you took care of my Viper in just 3 seconds I guess that means I’m still not as good with tools as a Witch
The girl giggled while pointing the tip of the blade toward the boy’s paled face
Machina knew he had been taken hostage but she did not panic
It was true she had taken care of the helicopter in 3 seconds but 5 whole seconds had passed since the attack
She had bought plenty of time
Move away from Fujita
With a rude noise the girl’s horrific sword was deflected The face visible on it wailed as if in pain
It had been struck by a short sword beautifully decorated with a platinum color
It belonged to Ren who immediately pulled Mutsuki to her and sent her sword toward the girl’s mask
The girl dodged at the last second but
I have to agree with you there Don’t touch my Mutsuki
Her foot hit something as she dodged and the parfait float fell over on the table
The unfinished juice seemed to have grown dark red and then it shot out in the shape of a blade and coiled around the girl’s neck The hilt portion grew to form a scythe and Lucia had appeared on the other end to hold it Ange had apparently been in the middle of changing She was still fixing her uniform’s ribbon but she was already just outside the café That was 10 seconds since the helicopter attack began The attacker already had Ren and Lucia right next to her with Ange and Machina in place to cut off any route of escape Khtch Looks like your bodyguard layer is perfect Fujita Mutsuki And here I thought I could take you pretty easily The girl clicked her tongue below the mask
I have to say that was some nice teamwork Angels and demons working together and getting along with FeTUS Aren’t you embarrassed as representatives of your respective worlds
I’m not getting along with anyone
This is no more than a job
I’ll use anyone if it’s for Mutsuki
The human angel and demon were all unfazed by the provocation
Even if they were enemies they would not be shaken when it came to protecting Mutsuki
The teamwork that Fujita Mutsuki had built up between them was not going to be broken so the girl raised her hands as if to surrender
But then her body rapidly floated upwards
She had golden threads wrapped around her hands and the other ends were attached far far overhead
There was apparently a second floating object waiting up there By attaching threads to it she could escape into the sky
I won’t let you escapeHey human make sure you protect Mutsuki
The girl shot up to a height of 500m and Lucia was the first to respond
Angels and humans required some preparation to fly but a greater demon who was familiar with all sorts of lifeforms could easily use the same movements as a flying animal
The back of his band outfit split apart as his shoulder blades swelled out Then they spread out to the side like a transparent membrane
They were wings Insect wings They moved so quickly they seemed to just be vibrating
Hold on Taxi
Wah You’re way too heavy idiot
He wobbled when Ange climbed onto his back but he still managed to ascend
Left behind Machina and Ren considered finding another route into the sky but
We can leave the pursuit to them Miss E we have another job
Ensuring Mutsuki’s safety came first so they could let the other two handle the enemy
30 seconds had passed since the helicopter arrived The cultural festival was in complete chaos now People were screaming and something had to be done about it
What happened Miss B was it an enemy attack
Miss Cyou’re late The people are going to panic so bring out the illusion tool
