Chapter 259
"Origami-senpai? Origami-senpai!”
“Um...what's wrong, Mikie?”
“……What's wrong, Origami-senpai, you practiced until you fainted in the training room again! Really, senior, you should take care of yourself a little bit.。”
“……Yeah. "
It was only then that Origami noticed that she was lying on the metal floor of the training room equipped with a standard display device, and Mikie was squatting next to her with a worried look on her face to help her up. Origami used a lightsaber to support her body and tremble
. He stood up majestically, moved around a bit, and then walked to the machine where the difficulty was set, ready to train again.。
“Origami-senpai! "
Mikie really couldn't stand it, Origami was torturing herself, so she directly slapped Origami's hand that was reaching towards the machine.。
“Anything else?”
“Origami-senpai, please accompany me for a late-night snack! "
Hearing Mikie's words, Origami couldn't help but frown.。
“……Sorry, I didn't want to——”
“Just think of it as accompanying me, a junior, okay? Please please! "
Mikie from other AST���I learned from the staff that Origami is a very friendly person, and for this reason he often does not refuse requests from friends.
I have fought side by side with Senior Origami and Senior Mu Qing, so they should...be considered friends, right?
“……All right. "
Of course Origami understood what Mikie meant by doing this, and finally nodded and agreed.
After all...being weak is his own trouble, and he trains hard just to become stronger and be able to help Mu Qing and Shido...
But if the act of solving your own problems affects other people, that's not a good thing.。
“Great~ Let's go then, senior! "
Mikie was obviously very happy. She took Origami and ran outside the base.。
……
The two girls found an izakaya, found a spot inside and ordered some snacks.。
“Origami-senpai ordered the octopus balls. I thought he would only eat things that are convenient, quick and healthy but not very delicious.。”
“……That's just for the convenience of training. Besides, I shouldn't eat those emergency foods often, right? I'm starting to get a little curious about what I look like in your eyes.。”
“Hehe, then let me talk to senior~”
“Then no need. ”
Origami made a forbidden gesture。
“Woo……”
“What's the point of asking me to come out at this time? I don't believe that eating late night snacks is the only thing to do.。”
“I...I just want Origami-senpai to take a break。”
“……Pretty much what I guessed. "
Origami looked at the girl with her head lowered in front of him and sighed softly.。
“You don't actually need to care about me so much。”
“But...Origami-senpai is obviously very strong! I heard that Origami-senpai survived until the end in a mock battle with a world-class magician like Mana-senpai. Even Mana-senpai praised your ability!”
“But this kind of strength... is far inferior to those real 'monsters'. "
Origami couldn't help but tighten her hand holding the pottery cup, causing the pottery cup to make a subtle "click" sound.。
“Whether it's Shido or Mu Qing, if I want to follow in their footsteps... my strength must be at least comparable to that of a magician like Shina. My current strength alone is not enough.。”
“……”
Mikie could feel the powerlessness in Origami's heart at this moment...
When she fought against the magician Minerva of the DEM Club, her terrifying power was not hers even for the five magicians equipped with Ashcroft. opponent.
And among these five magicians, no one except himself is not a very good magician.
But Senior Mu Qing and her friend were able to draw with him with just two people, and their strength was further improved after Minerva equipped [Hollow Dragon], and they were able to draw with her on the ground where Minerva has the strongest combat capability.
While lamenting the terrifying strength of the elves, I also lamented that the gap between myself and them is astonishing...
Even though most magicians can reach the level of "Superman" in the eyes of ordinary people, they are simply not good enough compared to the elves. ...
It is only after equipping Ashcroft that ordinary magicians are barely qualified to fight against elves, and they only have the power to fight.。
“That...right! Origami-senpai, you see, recently the DEM club has blatantly extended their hands into the AST. They are indeed not good people. They are really going too far! Because of this, many team members were so uncomfortable that they stopped training very much! "
Mikie knew that the topic of strength could not be discussed any further. It was estimated that the more we talked about it, the more uncomfortable it would be for Origami, so she simply changed the topic to a hot topic within the AST team. Maybe it would be better.。
“……That can only be regarded as one of the reasons. The other reason is - ah, um... thank you. "
Origami responded while thanking the waiter and taking the prepared octopus balls from the hands of the waiter and placing them on the table.。
“another reason is……？”
“They are lazy。”
“……how could be?”
“After all, DEM Club's current actions are similar to taking over AST. What they do does not even require them to report to anyone. Instead, they need us to help them complete the tedious reporting work and provide reinforcements when they need it. "
Origami stabbed the toothpick into the ball as if stabbing an enemy.。
“With the DEM Club here, the AST team members wouldn't have anything to do. Even if they did, it would only be small things like patrolling and monitoring... How could there be any need for training to complete these tasks?”
“Also... that's right too……”
“But the target of these people is actually [Sages]……I couldn't relax in the first place, so it was even less possible for me to relax. "
A flash of light flashed in Origami's eyes, as if she had regarded the magicians of the DEM Club as enemies.
