OTO Chapter 104

[Collapse of the Circle]

The ability of Enjoji Yachiyo (50) might have been more famous than that of Midou Ryuusui.

Strengthening system, superhuman(Braver).

Unusual physical ability and strengthening ability to exert extraordinary offensive and defensive power. It is an insane ability that enables incomprehensible acts such as flying in the sky with aura, and of course it is the top class in the strengthening system.

How amazing is it?

“…If she is the opponent, honestly I will be disadvantaged. Let’s wait and see for a while.”

Tameiki-san recalls her participation in the battle and decides to watch the bout for a while.

“That’s for the better…”

However, Enjoji Yachiyo is actually a general who left a favorable impression to the public.

Although being in such a remote place… well, it’s actually not that remote of a place, but despite being in such a city far away from Saint Celia, her popularity amongst the civilians is only second to that of Midou Ryuusui.

Her popularity amongst the people of this city is particularly high, as can be seen from the enthusiasm of the curious onlookers.

Why she is so popular? That’s easy.

First of all, she doesn’t kill people. She hates killing people, no matter how much of a villain they are.

Enjoji Yachiyo only throws the opponent she fought into prison. That’s all she does.

On top of that, it seems she never participate in an annihilation operation, and I heard that she is active mostly only within her jurisdiction.

“Hah, what kind of abilities did you come to offer today? Nonetheless, you sure are a perfunctory and persistent guy. I’ll definitely send you to prison today.”

“I would stop if only you let me touch you for a bit you know.

Now, eat this, old hag!” Utsusemi-san in the sky shouts, and a huge rubble emerges from behind him.

“Hou, I see that one of it is psychokinesis.”

“OORAAAAAHHH!!”

When I realize that the rubble that Utsusemi had summoned heads for General Enjoji at high speed, it stops just before her, and this time, it falls toward us.

“HA HA!! Be crushed, you ants!!”

Utsusemi-san puts both of his hands in the shape of a rifle, turns it in the opposite direction and shouts. However, General Enjoji moves faster than the falling rubble and is already standing diagonally above the fence standing in the onlookers’ way.

The speed that enables her to catch up to the rubble at the last minute. It doesn’t exceed the speed of sound. But, it’s not a speed that I can react to.

Her beautiful, shiny hair that is not suitable for her age dances.

“Yachiyo-san, do your best!” “General-!” “Enjoji-san you can do it!”

She responds to the cheering voice by pushing her thumb up without turning around.

And she pushes her fist up towards the huge rubble.

Then, the fist smashes the rubble into pieces, and she kicks the flying debris with one foot. The wind pressure blew away the finely rubbles in the direction where there’s no one around.

Cheers arise.

“This is…”

“Amazing, don’t you think?”

This is also one of the reasons why she is so popular.

The attitude to protect civilians.

The onlookers are showing further excitement as if it is intended as a small attraction. If the rubble had fallen as it was, we would have been crushed.

No, if General Enjoji didn’t come to protect us, Tameiki-san would have move instead, but even so, such trust in the general is amazing.

“HAHAHA! You sure an entertainer! Grandma!”

“Utsusemii…! Each and every time, you’re playing around too much!”

Saying that, she jumps up, and a strong wind strikes us.

Roll reaches for her hat that is about to fly away and catches it. Tameiki-san loose hoodie is fluttering like a mantle.

I returns my eyes to General Enjoji who jumped up, and it seems that the battle had already begun in the sky, as I hear the sound of the two’s offence and defence.

However, the two have reached a considerable altitude in an instant; from the ground they look like moving dots.

“We can’t see anything from here. Shion, do you know what’s going on?”

Roll asks me next to her.

“…For some reason, they’re fighting while hurling curses at each other. Utsusemi-san is in the inferior position, though.”

Utsusemi-san is flying around, making the sound of cutting through the wind while yelling, “Crazy old hag!”

General Enjoji has a handicap that she couldn’t get close to Utsusemi-san, but she overwhelms Utsusemi-san with a series of fist pressures like a while ago.

“What I’m curious about is Utsusemi’s abilities.”

Tameiki-san says while looking up at the dazzling sky.

Utsusemi-san’s abilities. One seems to be related to psychokinesis, but the other has not been confirmed yet.

The psychokinesis he’s using now seems to be high spec, but I don’t think he would challenge General Enjoji with that alone.

While I’m thinking about that, the battle continues, and the shadows of the two are gradually lowering in altitude.

Utsusemi is on the defensive. General Enjoji launches punches and kicks so that she wouldn’t be touched by Utsusemi-san.

“In the old days, Utsusemi always stocked a transfer ability for movement,” Roll says as if she remembered.

“I see. If it’s transfer ability, he might be able to touch General Enjoji,” I wonder if Utsusemi is waiting for that opportunity.

“No, he won’t be able to, even with a transfer ability. It won’t work to that woman,” Tameiki-san says so, so I change my mind.

Certainly, if you have astounding reflexes, you can see through the lag of transfer. I’ve also faced transfer abilities several times, and they’re not insurmountable abilities.

“Ah”

When Roll makes such a voice, Utsusemi-san receive a clean hit from General Enjoji’s ax kick.

Although I say a clean hit, it was just a wind pressure of the heel that was swung down from above.

Utsusemi-san makes a whooshing sound, falling behind us like a meteor.

*Bang* His fall causes the cobblestone ground to cave in, and after a delay, the wind pressure from the heel drop strikes us.

Although I say it strikes us, it is only at the level of strong wind, but to exert such power from that distance, I’m struck with fear.

“…Isn’t it bad?”

While everyone looks back at Utsusemi-san, General Enjoji descends over him and looks down at him, “What’s wrong, is it over? You’re not very chewy today, Utsusemi.”

The onlookers are now quite to watch over the progress.

“Hey, Tameiki-san, shouldn’t you go over to help him?” Roll whispers, but Tameiki-san slowly shakes her head.

Utsusemi-san is not dead yet. He’s half-buried, but I can hear his heartbeat. Not dying from that probably means that he mitigated the damage by scraping off the ground first with psychokinesis, alleviating the force at once.

However, does Tameiki-san not intend to help Utsusemi-san?

When I think so, Utsusemi-san makes a move.

Utsusemi-san languidly lifts his sunken head, and stares at General Enjoji.

“You sure did it, old hag,” saying that, the saliva mixed with blood he spat out goes straight on with psychokinesis and sticks to General Enjoji’s military boot.

“I have no intention of killing you, but seeing your appearance, it seems that you can withstand one more round.”

General Enjoji brandish her fist and swings it down toward Utsusemi-san.

At the same time, there is a change in Utsusemi-san’s body.

His body swells with a conspicuous noise. And when the haori he is wearing is torn, the fist pressure of General Enjoji hits Utsusemi-san.

*Bakon*, accompanied with such a sound, the back of his head against the stone pavement. As a result, Utsusemi-san seems to have lost consciousness, and his swelled body suddenly withers and then with a twitch, stops moving.

Just now… his ability misfired… right?

“Haah—……” Rather than not being able to watch, Roll looks away from Utsusemi-san as if she is amazed.

“…As usual, this Utsusemi is weak,” Tameiki-san says with a sigh.

This Utsusemi is weak – I wonder if that means that the other personality Utsusemi-san is strong.

With such a thought, I say, “What should we do?”, urging an instruction from Tameiki-san.

“This is Enjoji. It’s about the collection of the villain. Please send a support,” General Enjoji stands in front of Utsusemi-san, takes out a device from her chest pocket, and contacts the base.

There are both cheers and regrettable voices from the onlookers.

It seems that she has no intention of touching Utsusemi-san even after defeating him; I can only say that carefulness is as expected of her.

“Shion, Roll, collect Utsusemi when I give the signal,” Tameiki-san who had been silent for a while suddenly said such a thing, so I instinctively ask back. Roll also looks at Tameiki-san with a frown.

“Eh……?”

“I’ll stop Enjoji. In that opportunity, you should collect Utsusemi and leave the city first if possible.”

“…I see, you sure have thought it through, Tameiki-san. It’s easier to handle Utsusemi if he’s unconscious.”

Is that so?

“That’s right. Shion should connect the sound with me.”

“…I understand.”
