Looking at Kaori Hayata in front of her, Momomiya Shikaha, who had tried hard to remain strong until just now, could not help but burst into tears at this moment.
She raised her arms, covered her red eyes, and burst into tears.
"That's great, Kaori-senpai, it's great that you're okay..."
"Sister...student?"
Looking at this scene, a tear slipped down from the gap in the mask on Tomokawa Nao's face.
As the tear fell, the next moment, the filthy aura covering the whole body completely turned into black energy and disappeared, and the whole person returned to normal.
She cried and howled, and then she threw herself into Kaori Hayata's arms unreasonably like a child.
His head was buried in the other person's chest, and his hands were holding the other person's body tightly, as if he was worried that the other person would turn into nothing and disappear from the water in the next second.
Repeated over and over again.
"Idiot, idiot, idiot senior..."
"If you are okay, let us know as soon as possible..."
"I thought, I thought..."
"Well, I'm sorry for making you worry."
Kaori Hayata hugged Tomokawa Nao in her arms and apologized.
"Actually, the moment the vision in front of me darkened, even I felt that I would never be able to see you again."
"Now that I think about it, it's really strange. How did I survive?"
"Strange? Could it be that the senior sister didn't do this?"
Momomiya Luye couldn't help but fall on the smooth gap between the teeth of the huge mouth, and asked doubtfully.
"No, I'm not as strong as you think. At that time, I was already scared out of my mind."
Kaori Hayata seriously denied the other party's conjecture.
"If you say so..." Momomiya Luye reacted suddenly.
"yes."
Kaori Hayata turned her head and stared at the figure not far behind her, with a sweet smile on her pretty face.
"It must be Mr. Yagami who did something secretly, right?"
"But, what should we do..."
She turned back and stroked her cheek, as if she was worried about something.
"Senior, what's wrong with you?"
Sensing something strange about the other party, Momomiya Shikaha subconsciously asked.
"Think about it carefully, Shikaha-chan." Kaori Hayata sighed softly.
"If one day, you are saved by a rare handsome guy, then what can you do to repay this kindness?"
"I will...will..."
Momomiya Shikaye was about to blurt out, but her voice lowered involuntarily.
Kaori Hayata looked at the other party's tangled expression and said with a smile as if she understood.
"That's right, I can only promise you with my body, right?"
"But when I think about marrying away to Tokyo, I feel like I'm not mentally prepared yet—"
"Kaori-senpai, please be more serious!" Momomiya Shikaha blushed deeply and hurriedly interrupted.
"Mr. Yagami will not force senior sister to do such a thing. Senior sister, please stop making assumptions by yourself!"
Seeing the other party's eager look, Kaori Hayata covered her mouth and smiled.
"Well, I'm just kidding, of course I won't go to Tokyo. After all, there are descendants here that I can't let go of."
But she quickly became serious and asked seriously.
"So, Shikaha-chan and Nao-chan, let me ask you, do you have any plans to go to Tokyo?"
"Um...Senior, have you had enough trouble?"
...
Looking at the three girls bursting into laughter on the sea surface, the facial features of the mirage demon above were so distorted that they were almost unrecognizable.
"Who...who..."
"Who allowed you to laugh?"
With its roar, the entire sea area felt the tremor.
The bodies of the ugly ghosts who had just been defeated by Momomiya Shigaha and others turned into a pool of dark liquid and flew out from the sea, wrapping the mirage demon in it and setting off a violent sea storm.
The next moment, a thick arm tore through the strong wind, revealing the oppressive huge body like a god to the world.
It was an extremely huge ugly ghost.
Compared with the height of ordinary ugly ghosts, which are six to ten meters tall, the height of the ugly ghost transformed into a mirage demon reaches a full forty meters, making the three magical girls beneath him look as small as ants.
The expression on his face stayed at the last moment before his transformation. The ferocious face looked at the three girls with anger, looking even more ugly.
It opened its mouth, revealing its jagged fangs, and roared.
"It seems that I can only use the stupidest method to make you feel despair!"
"No matter what, I must get the fruit tonight!"
Following its words, a dark turbid current quickly spread around it, covering all nearby waters.
In an instant, the water surface boiled, huge bubbles burst one after another, and waves of filthy air were released from it. Black mist quickly spread along the sea surface under the night sky.
Looking at the dark and ominous color, the wound in Momomiya Luye's hand suddenly hurt, and he immediately reminded him.
"Everyone, spread out and don't come into contact with that kind of thing!"
Even without her reminding, Kaori Hayata and Nao Tomokawa could sense that something was wrong.
Three rays of light of different colors burst out from the sea, quickly escaped from the attack range of the black fog, and floated in mid-air to carefully observe the battle situation.
However, the black mist did not stop because the three people left, but continued to spread towards the shore.
Finally, at the moment of reaching the shore, a strange transformation occurred.
Ugly ghosts that were the same size as ordinary people condensed out of it and stepped onto the land one after another. Countless bone-white ugly faces looked at the downtown area of Okinawa, and then they continued to act as if they had confirmed their target.
.
There are enough to cover the entire coastline, and it looks like a huge black wave, sweeping towards Okinawa.
This time is not an illusion, but a real disaster!
Seeing this, Momomiya Luye and others couldn't help but turn pale in shock, and they all started to swoop down.
The magic weapons in their hands bloomed with brilliant light, and they each released their strongest moves to stop the ugly ghost army from advancing.
Boom, boom, boom...
Under the night, red flames, huge blue waves, and gorgeous barrage shots erupted one after another, repelling wave after wave of the opponent's attacks.
But the number of the opponent was too great. Whether ten or a hundred were eliminated, it was of no use to such a huge wave that could swallow up the entire Okinawa.
On the other hand, the consumption of magic power by Momomiya Shikaha and others was real.
Soon, Tomokawa Nao was the first to exhaust her magic power. The halberd in her hand disappeared together with her magical girl costume, and she fell to the ground due to loss of strength.
"Nao!"
Momomiya Shikaba swung a flaming slash, forcing the ugly ghost beside him to retreat, and shouted to Kaori Hayata.
"Senior, take Nao out of here quickly!"
"knew!"
The rifled flintlock gun in Kaori Hayata's hand disappeared. She helped Nao Tomokawa up and glanced at Momomiya Shikaba worriedly.
"But Luye, you can't hold on much longer, right?"
"Don't worry, I... can handle it!"
As if to prove his words, the flames of the big sword in Momomiya Shikaye's hand suddenly increased a bit, and with a powerful and heavy blow, several ugly ghosts that were approaching were smashed into pieces together with a corner of the dock.
In Kaori Hayata's arms, Nao Tomokawa said weakly.
"Senior...Senior, leave me alone and go support Luye..."
"If no one stops her, she will continue to be strong..."
Kaori Hayata looked at Tomokawa Nao in her arms with a tangled expression, then raised her head, glanced at the back of Momomiya Shikaha, then gritted her teeth and helped Tomokawa Nao up.
"Luye, promise me, never show off."
"I see!"
Momomiya Shikaha didn't look back, even the sound of response was drowned in the fire and explosion.
"Hehehe...are you planning to run away?"
After turning into an ugly ghost, the mirage demon twisted its neck 180 degrees, and its two extremely asymmetrical strange eyes, one large and one small, rotated, allowing the movements of several magical girls to be seen at a glance.
It reminded with a ferocious smile.
"If you run away like this, what should you do in Okinawa behind you?"
Following its words, the ugly ghost army that had just landed quickly began to squirm behind it, and pairs of dark wings grew out of its back.
In front of Momomiya Luye and others, they began to fly into the sky like a swarm of insects.
The speed was different from the previous sluggishness, and he quickly passed the defense line formed by the magical girls and flew towards the downtown area.
"Don't even think about it—"
Momomiya Shikaye was about to fly into the sky and engage in aerial combat, but suddenly, her body softened and she knelt on the ground with a big sword in hand.
He clutched his chest tightly with his left hand, his whole face became bloodless, his brows were wrinkled in pain, and sweat dropped to the ground, as if he was experiencing some terrible illness.
Seeing this, Kaori Hayata immediately realized what had happened and couldn't help but said anxiously.
"Luye, hurry up and cancel the transformation!"
"Your magic power has been exhausted. If you continue to maintain the transformed state, your life force will be consumed!"
Momomiya Luye reluctantly raised her head, and the fiery red light in her pupils became increasingly dim.
"No, now is not the time. At least, we must defeat all these ugly ghosts..."
"I need strength. Only stronger power can keep all this..."
"For this, even if I have to sacrifice something or give up something, I don't care..."
"So, give me your power!"
And it was as if he was responding to her words.
The next moment, a foul breath emerged from her body and quickly gathered behind her, forming a pair of huge dark wings.
As Momomiya Luye stood up again, the wings behind her also unfolded little by little. The black feathers were as sharp as blades, and each one could easily harvest the life of an ugly ghost.
At this moment, Momomiya Luye slowly opened his eyes, and a dark flame ignited in his right eye.
She stared coldly at the army of ugly ghosts in front of her, dragging the sword in her hand with her backhand, and walked towards them step by step amid the harsh friction sounds on the ground.
But every second, the fire in her eyes weakened slightly, as if the countdown of life was counting down.
"Deer leaf..."
Looking at the junior who suddenly became a stranger, Kaori Hayata didn't know what to say for a moment and could only stare at him blankly.
When she saw Momomiya Shikaha who suddenly changed her appearance, Tomokawa Nao suddenly had a hint of panic in her eyes.
Subconsciously, she grasped Kaori Hayata's hand and spoke with difficulty.
"No, no, senior sister, stop her quickly. If this continues, Lu Ye will not be able to come back..."
At this moment, seeing this scene, the mirage demon's eyes couldn't help but become excited again.
Just a little bit...
Just a little bit away from the fruit being fully ripe!
Its huge body started to move, and with the shaking of the earth and the roaring waves, it moved step by step towards Momo Palace Luye.
The shadow cast gradually covered the entire pier, and the dark eyes focused on Momomiya Luye below, and he taunted.
"Why, with this level of power, are you still planning to protect Okinawa?"
"Admit it, you alone can't save this land at all!"
"After all, your powers are all given by my mirage demon, and even you yourself are just guinea pigs who serve as my experimental subjects-"
"Oh? Do you really think so?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded at an inappropriate time.
The next moment, a figure appeared in front of Momomiya Luye, blocking the mirage demon's sight.
The incoming waves suddenly surged, and the oncoming sea breeze blew the hair on his forehead, revealing his calm eyes under the night sky.
It's Sora Yagami.
At this moment, Momo Palace Luye couldn't help but be startled.
Looking at Ye Shenkong's side face, the cold light in her eyes suddenly dissipated for a bit, and she continued intermittently.
"Mr. Yagami, it's very dangerous here, please...please go and evacuate quickly..."
Looking at that handsome face, the mirage demon's eyes were stunned for a moment, and then he smiled ferociously.
"I almost forgot about you, human."
"Are you jumping out now to plead with me to let them go and let Okinawa go?"
"Jie Jie Jie, as I said before, don't have such a sweet dream!"
Ye Shenkong glanced at it with some pity, and then calmly ordered.
"Then, Captain Iwamura, let's get started."
Looking at the other party's reaction, the mirage demon couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Human, who are you talking to-"
The next moment, outside the port, barriers shining with white light were erected, forming a solid barrier in mid-air to resist the ugly ghost army.
"Boundary class, work harder and set up the barrier!"
After the barrier, Yuma Iwamura commanded loudly.
"Everyone else, come with me to support Brother Yagami!"
"Listen to me. If you were still standing when the barrier collapsed, you will only be allowed to drink oolong tea for three months after you return!"
He tore off his shirt and shouted.
"Then, Division 13——"
"cheers!"
The last two words were shouted out by everyone in unison.
The next moment, they rushed out of the barrier one after another, and like cannonballs, they violently collided with the oncoming army of ugly ghosts.
He punched the face of the nearest ugly man next to him, smashing that ugly face straight through.
Looking back and seeing the scene behind her, Hayata Kaori couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise.
"Yes, he is from SOP..."
At this moment, the mirage demon looked at the members of the Thirteenth Division who were resisting the ugly ghost's attack like a flesh-colored torrent, and was slightly surprised.
"Team 13?"
Its gaze moved to Ye Shenkong again, and it couldn't help but have a hint of ridicule in its gaze.
"Could it be that this is your last resort? Human beings?"
"Don't make people laugh so hard!"
"Although I, the mirage demon, am not a combat type, I can become the water demon general selected by Mr. Fujin, and my total spiritual power exceeds eighteen thousand rounds!"
"Everything you are doing now is just a meaningless struggle, and there is no light from the future at all!"
"Now, indulge in despair and witness the end of Okinawa!"
"I said, don't misunderstand me."
Yagami glanced at the members of the Thirteenth Division who were fighting hard behind him, and sighed softly.
"They will appear here, not as members of the Thirteenth Division, but as people who have been protected by these girls and came here spontaneously."
"After all, they are fighting to protect Okinawa, so we will fight to protect them."
"Even if I don't have the strength, I will stand up and stand in front of them."
"Everyone in Okinawa, everyone protected by them, and everyone who feels their feelings are willing and will do so without hesitation."
"As for what you just said, I will give it back to you now."
He took a deep breath, stared at the ugly face above, and spoke word by word.
"If it loses its light, light it again."
"If you are in chaos, face your true self."
"If it doesn't make sense, give it meaning."
"Listen to me, the real reason why magical girls appear is not because of your experiments, but because of the world and because everyone needs them!"
"Everyone...needs us?"
Hearing Ya Shenkong's words, Momomiya Luye was completely stunned for a moment.
Unknowingly, the dark flame in her eyes had been completely extinguished.
The next moment, her pink hair suddenly began to grow longer, and the ribbon broke free, floating freely behind her.
Wave after wave of holy white aura enveloped Taogong Luye, and bursts of pure light emitted, wrapping it inside.
Under the light, the original magical girl costume gradually disappeared, and another magical girl costume appeared.
The hem of the skirt became shorter, and the original domed leather shoes became high-heeled boots, leaving only a section of her fair thighs exposed.
On the dark wings, the filthy atmosphere gradually faded away, revealing the purity underneath.
Waving her pure white wings, Momomiya Luye slowly opened her eyes.
As she opened her eyes again, an indescribable and terrifying wave of spiritual power spread throughout the dock.
For a moment, both the ugly ghost and the people in the 13th Division stopped involuntarily and turned their heads to look in the direction of Momomiya Shikaha.
Looking at Momomiya Luye who was almost completely different from the other two people in front of him, Yashenkong said silently in his heart.
Sure enough, as long as there is strong enough mental stimulation, the so-called fruits in their bodies can grow rapidly...
"Luye...what...is wrong with you?"
Tomokawa Nao looked at her friend in front of her in disbelief.
Momomiya Luye turned around and smiled slightly at the two girls behind him.
"It's okay, Nao, senpai."
"The strength this time was brought to me by everyone in Okinawa."
She raised her chin, looked at the shocked mirage demon above, and narrowed her eyes slightly.
Then he walked forward.
Seeing this, Tomokawa Nao couldn't help but stop him anxiously.
"Wait a minute, Luye! That guy—"
"Don't worry, Nao."
Momomiya Luye said softly without any fear in her eyes.
"I feel like I can do anything now."
She walked to Ya Shenkong, looked up at him, and said solemnly.
"Then, Mr. Yagami, I'm going."
"Well, let's show that guy the power of all of us."
Yashenkong raised the corner of his mouth, showed her an encouraging smile, and then stretched out his fist.
Seeing this, Momomiya Luye also showed a peaceful smile on his face.
She raised her hand confidently and gently pressed her fist, which was one size smaller, against the peak of Ye Shenkong's fist.
"Well, please feel free to leave it to me——"
"Ah?"
The moment she touched Sora Yagami's fist, the magical girl costume on her body suddenly disappeared.
Momomiya Shikaha, who maintained a fist-bumping stance with Sora Yagami and resumed her Honohara Academy uniform, looked at Sora Yagami in front of her in bewilderment.
"Mr. Yagami, this is..."
"Miss Momotong, thank you for your hard work tonight."
Ye Shenkong touched her head and said gently.
"Anyway, let's change people for the next battle."
