Riding on the Black Dragon Genjuu is Mochiko first, and she’s in the lead.
Behind her, I can see the figure of Kazuki Kasagi, who once demonstrated a power reminiscent of “One Cut, Two Halves” during an event.
Kasagi has a different atmosphere from Shinpo; she’s a serious girl.
If Shinpo’s seriousness is student-like, then Kasagi’s is more like that of a warrior, perhaps because she’s in the kendo club.
In the very back is Yuuko Hyakugou, who also showed off her “Clone Ability” during an event.
Perhaps an outdated expression, but she might be considered a brat.
Shion was very adept at blending into the class atmosphere, and although she was modest, she managed to charm the boys.
Hakuhara seemed to be trying to make herself liked by the boys. If that’s a misunderstanding, I apologize.
She had managed to make many boys misunderstand her, but she didn’t seem to be dating anyone, so she gave off the impression of a little devil.
The last time we fought, I got the feeling that she was a bit of a dunce.
“Souzou! I’m sorry, but when I met Ryouka, she made me come over here!”
Shouko explained apologetically.
「It’s okay. What about the other students?」
「Ah, about that! Trent and Arvank are only targeting kids with the ‘Return Rights’ right now! We only noticed that they’re ignoring everyone else except Shi-chan, me, and Mia!」
So the monsters who worship Behemoth as their king are also targeting the same kids with ‘Return Rights’ as Behemoth. If that’s the case… “Is Shi-on safe?”
Shi-on is the only one here without ‘Return Rights’. “I’m super safe!” “I’m glad to hear that.”
I should have asked the mysterious blackboard about that.
No, there’s no way I could gather all the information before the voting ends, so I should just accept that.
「It was Rikka who noticed that.」
「Yeah, Rikka’s amazing!」
Shouko isn’t the type to take credit for other people’s work, so she admitted it honestly.
Hakuhara looked surprised, her eyes wide.
Then, Behemoth’s nose twitched. Yes, we’re still in the middle of a battle. “Shouko, get away from here!”
Since I’m the closest to Behemoth, it’s targeting me.
But if I stay close, I might get caught in the crossfire. “Get out of here!”
The Illusory Jun, carrying the Shokishi, quickly retreated.
Mikuron also elegantly dodged the attack. “Kou-n, Momo’s scared.”
Before I knew it, Hyakugyou was hugging me from behind.
The soft sensation on my back, even after all this time, still made my heart race.
Even if it wasn’t her main body. “A clone, huh?”
”…Make my heart race more.” She said with a bored tone.
But I didn’t react, and continued speaking.
“Is it possible for the information gained by a clone to be shared with other clones or the main body?”
If that were the case, I could understand why Mikuron had a clone appear on his back.
The Shokishi approached only to the limit where Hyakugyou could create a clone.
That’s why the Black Dragon Illusory Jun had gotten as close as possible.
That means the clones are actually useful for something.
If they can be used for information transmission, that’s great.
Just being able to clone myself is already strong, but now they can also serve as a means of communication on the island. ”…Kouno-kun, you’re smart.”
Hundred Tree praises me with a sweet voice, but she looks a little envious too.
It might be complicated to have someone else figure out your abilities.
When I say that, her voice suddenly comes alive.
「See!? Isn’t Mom amazing!?」
「Ah, yeah. By the way, do you have any messages from Seiou?」 The life force that had been infused instantly vanished.
「Ah, yeah, I have it. Shall I explain?」
Maybe Momohara wanted more praise.
Everyone feels good when they’re praised, but she might want it more than others. Anyway, the explanation begins.
The Seiou party has decided to participate in this raid battle. First, the killing blow will be left to us.
They’re probably being careful not to upset us now that we’ve formed a cooperative relationship. They want to contribute to the defeat of the Behemoth.
For this event, the risk is high, but there’s no limit to the number of people who can earn rewards.
I don’t know how much contribution is needed to get a ‘Return Right’, but getting a ‘Power Awakening’ would be a good deal. There are also ‘Points’ and ‘Survival Bonuses’, so there’s no need to worry.
In addition, the combat power that Seihou provides is as follows.
Kagami and Hyakuhara are joined by the librarian, Yumisen, who also wields the power to manipulate shadows.
Since the Behemoth is so large, the shadows it casts are also huge.
As a result, Yumisen’s power is also amplified.
The combatants not present here are busy hunting monsters.
They seem to be using a strategy of targeting monsters that are chasing Shion, who is riding on Mashiro’s back. …So it’s a ‘Train’ tactic.
They call it a ‘Train’ tactic in the game, but it works in real life too.
Or maybe it’s only effective now because they’re chasing someone with a ‘Return Right’.
Hunting the monsters that follow the Behemoth is also a significant contribution, so Shion’s role as a decoy should be recognized as well.
I’m a bit worried… No, I’m quite worried…
Ah, so this is what it feels like when everyone is worried about me, I suddenly realize.
It’s not exactly heart-healthy or calming. Not very pleasant at all.
Since Shion accepted the task knowing full well what it entailed, I guess I can only trust Mashiro and Joushou’s crew.
Anyway, all I need to do is figure out how to defeat Behemoth with the forces at hand. “Hyakugou, could you pass on a message to Shion?”
“Hmm? You can just call me Momo if you want.”
This kid, being able to act like this in this situation might actually have a strong mental fortitude.
Even if she has the confidence that she won’t die since she’s a clone, I’m still impressed. “Momo, please.”
Since this isn’t a moment to hesitate, I’ll go along with her.
”…Wow. Did you gain confidence by making a harem? Kouno-kun, you’ve changed a lot since you were in the classroom.”
Momo also sounds impressed.
Indeed, I used to feel embarrassed calling girls by their first names or nicknames.
It might be because of the situation, but maybe I’ve gained some confidence.
“Once I’m inside Yerina’s barrier, I’ll ask Momo to send a clone over there. After that, I’ll share the plan.”
“Does that mean you’re not asking Momo for anything?” “Right. Is that a problem?”
“Mm, it’s fine. But I want a reward too.”
She must be looking up at me with those eyes.
“Aren’t you using the clear reward as your reward?” “Hehe.” She just laughed.
Well, maybe I was being mean just now.
“Just kidding. If there’s something I can make that would motivate you, let me know.”
“Yay. Kino-kun, you’re so nice.”
Even while fighting Behemoth, Momo seems to be in a classroom.
It’s a level of confidence I can only admire, but it also means she trusts us to get through this.
I’m not sure if it’s me or Jyouou, though.
Soon, the black dragon Genjuu Chuu headed towards the direction of the barrier and disappeared. For a moment, Momo was worried if Serina would allow her and Kagi to enter and exit, but it seemed like that was unnecessary.
”…Serina-chan seems cold, did I do something wrong?”
It seemed like Momo received some information from her clone and spoke in an irritated tone.
It was probably because Serina was upset knowing that her boyfriend had a clingy Momo attached to his back.
“Oh… Anyway, please tell me the plan. Also, can you get rid of this clone of mine after you’re done?” “You’re mean, you’re saying I’m a bother?” She spoke in a tearful voice.
“No, but soon a helper will come, and he’s bad with girls.”
“A helper? Oh, I see. You mean Temporin, right?”
She seemed to know about Temporin. “Yeah, that’s right.”
“Temporin and Kouno didn’t fall for Momo, so I remember them well.” “Is that so?…” I didn’t remember much.
Perhaps she had assumed that a beautiful girl like Momo wouldn’t like someone like herself, so she treated her coldly.
“That’s right! Temporin seemed to just not consider Momo as a target, so I could understand that, but Kouno was a tough opponent! Yet when we came to the desert island, he was all cozy with girls. Momo’s pride is in shambles.” “I’m… sorry.”
To think she was thought of that way.
That’s to say, she’s really acting like that on purpose, huh.
If she declares it, I don’t think guys will fall for her… no, I guess it’s not a big deal in front of a beautiful girl?
“I’ll definitely make Mommy notice my charm!” A mysterious fighting spirit is burning. That’s good, but… “Mommy”
I need her to focus right now.
“I know. We’ll have our love battle later.”
If she’s going to help, it’ll be a big help, so I’ll pass on the strategy to my friends through her clone.
