Chapter 44. Let's go together! Sakura!

"What?!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!"

Like cannon barrels, two enormous shapes appeared in the path of the "Divergence Sword's" impact.

They watched helplessly as the blasting air pressure was sucked into the "tube".

An ominous premonition arose, and Gilgamesh's expression froze.

"Bang!!"

Sure enough, the next moment, an impact came straight at you from the other side of the "tube".

His attack was deflected!

"Terrible"

Gilgamesh lost his composure, never having imagined encountering something so outrageous.

I never imagined I'd be facing "Ea" head-on.

"Ooh ooh ooh!!!"

Even though they were wearing golden armor with amazing defensive capabilities, they were being cut by that strange power.

After all, that's an attack that causes spatial fractures and creates spacetime rifts.

"."

Looking up at Archer, who had been countered, Berserker felt a strange sense of unease.

He made all those nice words, and then he got the worst beating.

To be honest, this treatment is quite strange.

"Caster actually deflected that attack with magic?"

"This is absolutely amazing!"

Saber, Waver, and the others also saw that radiance and were taken aback.

Keep in mind that this was a Noble Phantasm of the "Ultimate" level. Although it wasn't a complete release, its residual power alone was enough to cause a tremor.

Even Gilgamesh's half-baked attack was not something an ordinary person could withstand.

Not to mention simply deflecting it back using magic.

"Hmph! Serves you right!!"

With a practiced "facial expression," Jonouchi said excitedly.

Watching that arrogant guy get his comeuppance was just as exhilarating as seeing a seahorse being "NTR" by the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"

When that strange power subsided high in the sky, no one could see the flamboyant figure of the oldest king anymore.

It didn't die; it simply "escaped."

It would have been one thing if he had just uttered some boastful words, but his strongest attack was also deflected, nearly killing him. His pathetic state made the "king" too ashamed to stay there any longer.

"What a thin-skinned guy."

Saber naturally knew what kind of person Archer was, given his high opinion of himself.

"Ha, do we even have the right to say that?"

Lelouch was too lazy to dwell on Archer's embarrassing situation.

I was so looking forward to someone being able to deal with this monster, but I almost killed myself instead. It was an unexpected scene.

"It's still harming the people; we have to stop it."

Kenshin looked up at the still-raging Martial Arts Demoness and became a little anxious.

Other things can be ignored for now, but we must stop the current chaos.

Given the destructive power of the martial arts witch, the casualties would not be limited to just one or two people.

This time it's serious; whether the church can completely handle the aftermath is a question.

"Hmph, I didn't realize that an assassin like you would have a conscience that cares about the common people."

Lelouch glanced at him, surprised that Assassin would have such thoughts.

"Rider, isn't this the right time to talk about this?"

"If we don't stop that guy, this city will be finished."

Weber was naturally aware of the rules of the "magic world": "mystery" must never be exposed.

Otherwise, the Magic Association will definitely hold them accountable.

"Ha, isn't the solution right in front of us?"

Upon hearing Lelouch's response, Waver was taken aback at first, then followed the gaze and looked at Saber.

"Ah, it's nothing. I just contacted Kiritsugu, and he'll use Command Seals to replenish my mana."

"I will unleash my Noble Phantasm once again to bury Lancer."

Knowing what the other person was talking about, Saber explained quite frankly.

The current situation is no longer a personal problem.

Even with Kiritsugu's style, he couldn't just stand by and watch Fuyuki City suffer.

If saving lives could be achieved with a single Command Seal and the release of a Noble Phantasm, Kiritsugu would do it.

Even if only the last Command Seal remains, it could put him at a disadvantage in the upcoming war.

But he wouldn't hesitate.

This is his choice!

"Command it with a command spell."

But just as he was preparing to act in the distance, the female warrior witch stopped moving.

"What?"

……

"Stop right now!!"

"hateful!"

"Can't you hear my voice at all?"

He frantically grabbed his hair and ruffled it, while Jōnei could only watch helplessly.

"Mother!!"

"Waaaaah!!"

"Monster!!"

The constant sounds of panic coming from the surrounding area made Jonouchi feel extremely guilty.

If he were more capable, Sakura wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

……

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Not far away, Berserker was rescuing terrified people from the collapsed building.

I also encountered familiar faces during that time.

The red-haired boy recognized the figure he often saw in the park at a glance; the man's mature, middle-aged face was unforgettable.

Berserker shook his head but didn't say anything.

With the boy's hopeful gaze fixed on him, he jumped towards the top of the tall building.

Berserker gripped his spear and looked at the enormous witch.

The boastful "king" fled in disarray, leaving only him to resolve this trouble.

As for magic...

They could only hope that their remaining magic power would be enough to unleash their "Ultimate Technique" and destroy the "witch" before them.

"stop!"

But the shouts that pierced through the air made him turn his gaze over.

Caster ran against the crowd and shouted at him.

"I'll stop her!"

The other party's resolute tone caused Berserker to pause for a moment.

Seeing that Berserker did not make a move immediately, Jonouchi breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't have enough magic power to use for another "divine draw".

"Sakura!"

"I know you must be in a lot of pain right now."

"After all, you're not the kind of girl who would do something like that."

"I believe this was absolutely not your intention!!"

Shouting loudly, the castle then spoke up.

Looking back on the time he met this girl, he knew that he had not misjudged her.

"Hey, Sakura."

"You know what friends are?"

"It's someone you mess around with when you're doing silly things, laugh together when you're happy, and give the other person a punch to wake them up when they make a mistake."

Slowly opening his mouth to speak, Jonouchi also thought of the game, Honda, and the others.

You have made a mistake.

"So as your friend, I'll give you a good punch to stop you!"

"Don't think you can escape this just because you're a girl!!"

Raising the tattered Duel Disk in his hand, Jonouchi wore a nostalgic smile.

"I was also at fault for not being able to stop you properly."

"Therefore, I will share the blame for that mistake with you!"

"I will hold onto you tightly, and together we will apologize properly in another world!!"

Jonouchi shouted as he slowly reached out towards the card that was constantly being activated.

Jonouchi knew perfectly well what the consequences would be once his hand touched the card.

But he had that kind of awareness!

The Relay of Souls!

That was the "thread" that connected him and Sakura Kyoko.

A bond called "friends"

The card was forcibly removed from the Duel Disk, and its sustained effect began to wane.

"Sakura, even without this thing..."

"We'll always be friends!"

"so."

"Let's go together!"

The witch's body froze, then began to disintegrate.

P.S.: As I wrote the ending, just imagining the scene with Jonouchi and Sakura Kyoko made me feel complicated.
