CH 106

Translated by KaiesV

In the woods near the northern inner crystal, two Magical Girls began an unexpected encounter.

「Ex :『Left Arm!』 Ex :『Power!』」

「Tch!」

On the one hand is Extend Traveler, a gray-haired girl wearing a gray cloak over a form-fitting blue dress and a fluttering white scarf.

On the other is Rabbitfoot, a rabbit-eared girl in an orange apron dress arranged like a maid’s uniform.

It’s a revenge match for the first one.

Extend Traveler, who had been securing the small crystal on the north side, saw on the map that the northern inner layer had turned yellow, and came to destroy its culprit by turning slightly to the south. Then, she met Rabbitfoot in the forest, who had finished dyeing the crystals and was moving to the northwest mid-level crystals.

From the information shared by Dragon Call, she knew that it wasn’t Permafrost who was there. It was either Rabbitfoot or Red Ball. If the opponent was Red Ball, the calculation was to take her on the road again, but if it was Rabbitfoot, she had already thought of a way to attack her.

As soon as she encountered her, Extend extended her left arm to its limit and swung it forcefully with his enhanced arm strength to reap the entire surrounding area of trees, leaving it covered in rough-edged stumps.

Her left arm was torn off at the shoulder, unable to bear the extended weight and the momentum of being forcibly swung around, but if she didn’t first clear the field in Rabbitfoot’s favor, Extend would lose. Besides, the attack was based on the idea that if Rabbitfoot would fall because of the involvement, that would be a good thing. However, of course, Rabbitfoot couldn’t avoid that level of attack.

Realizing that there would be no more trees to provide footholds for leaping, Rabbitfoot quickly kicked the ground hard and leaped high.

Rabbitfoot has achieved a pinball-like high-speed three-dimensional trajectory in application, but Grab The Sky is originally an Enhancement Magic that improves jumping ability. It was easy to avoid the giant arm by purely leaping upward.

「You jumped, didn’t you? Ex :『Lance!』」

Extend at least understood that Rabbitfoot was extremely unlikely to fall at the first blow. The primary purpose of this blow was to block Rabbitfoot’s signature Pinball, and the secondary purpose was to lure Rabbitfoot into the air where there was no escape.

There are quite a few witches who can change direction and take evasive action in the air, such as Tyrant Sylph, Dragon Call, and even Red Ball and Ex–Magna, but Rabbitfoot doesn’t have that power. At least to Extend’s knowledge, Rabbitfoot has never used such magic. In other words, as long as she lure her into the air where there is no foothold, a blow is sure to pass.

This is a magic to extend『wounds』which has a particularly high killing power among the magic of Extend. This is a terrible thing, but it’s not a judgment of magic acting directly on the Magical Girls. It slips through the protections with the ridiculous logic that it is only targeting wounds.

Although limited to wounds inflicted by Extend herself, her vicious magic, which even Magical Girls’ protections cannot prevent, sublimates even a mere graze into a fatal blow.

In other words, Rabbitfoot’s defeat was assured when he leaped into the air with no escape route.

Even the quintessential Extend had never used this kind of gross magic in real life, and although she had only heard the specifications from the fairies, she didn’t want to use this magic if she could help it. Even though the competition is designed to be safe and secure, with no blood or guts, even Extend doesn’t want to see a Magical Girl’s body being eaten open from the inside out.

Extend, who was unwilling but following with her eyes so as not to miss the moment when the hand spear pierced Rabbitfoot for victory, squinted for a moment at the glare of the sun, and the next moment heard the footsteps of the reaper creeping toward her.

「Rabbit Smash.」

Rabbitfoot found herself in front of Extend, delivering a powerful leaping kick to the spot where Extend had been just a moment before. The blow, accelerated by gravity, was like a special move of a special effects hero that is very popular among small children.

The impact of the kick sent a cloud of earth and sand billowing up, blocking Extend’s view.

It was really just a coincidence that Extend was able to avoid it.

Dazzled by the glimmering glow of the sun as he looked up after Rabbitfoot’s figure, Extend took a step or two back.

Miraculously, that was the action that averted the Rabbitfoot’s kicking.

「Ex :『Cannon!』」

She don’t know how Rabbitfoot evaded the hand spears in mid-air. She don’t know how she moved to her own doorstep in an instant. But that is something to think about later, and now, in order to seize this golden opportunity, Extend let go of her spear and thrust her open right hand out to Rabbitfoot and unleash a magical bombardment.

It takes a little time to restore a spear that has been extended far up into the sky. Even if she extend the time, it won’t be enough. Rabbitfoot is unable to strike a blow in the fraction of a second it takes to reach top speed again.

That said, using body enhancement to hit Rabbitfoot wouldn’t do much damage. Even if she were to forcefully extend her『power,』would she be able to wound a Life Lineage Witch who specializes in body enhancement magic? In the first place, extending a hand-to-hand combat without a weapon isn’t something that Extend know how to do. Furthermore, her vision is almost completely blocked, and if she does poorly, she can do nothing but throw away her chance.

She didn’t think that much rational thought during this moment. She didn’t clearly understand it and choose to bombard it. However, she intuitively sensed that she wouldn’t get this chance otherwise, so she slammed in an extended artillery barrage, not caring that she would wind herself up at this close range.

「——Urk～!?」

「Uooghh!?」

It was more like a direct bombardment than a artillery strike.

Rabbitfoot rolled around on the ground, her face contorted from the unexpected pain and heat, and Extend rolled around on the ground as well, her right arm blown off by the explosion at such a close range.

「Wha—!? This!? You pervert! Die—!」

「It’s not intentional!!」

Rabbitfoot, who quickly stood up using the momentum from her roll, quickly hid her chest with her arms when she realized that part of the costume she was wearing had been blown off by the explosion, and cursed Extend with her face bright red. Rabbitfoot, who had been using magic to strengthen her body, had minor scratches but no damage that would cause her to lose her body, but she was more than a little humiliated.

Of course, it wasn’t an intentional act, but Extend forgot about her dressing-up act and shouted loudly in denial, saying that she wouldn’t be happy to be stigmatized for daring to go easy on a young girl for the sake of seeing her naked body.

「Ahh, ugh, I can’t even close to a successful revenge…」

「Haah? What are you saying? You think you can win from here? You’ve lost both arms and you don’t have your own weapon. I’m going to win again.」

「Sorry to say, but I’ve already won.

Ex :『Scar』」

Realizing that Extend was about to use some kind of magic, Rabbitfoot tried to move as quickly as possible, but the seven-colored light and sparkling, beautiful effects were sprinkled faster than her feet could kick off the earth.

「Haah, I really hate that magic.」

With light and effects dripping from both arms herself, Extend ran toward the next small crystal with a melancholy look on her face, not buoyed by her victory.
