Seventh Cross

The Edge Of The Clockwork Horizon: Chapter 7: Seventh Cross

後単

「Hold back a bit!」Kyou and Myou immediately came at me with a series of beautifully combined strong attacks,
「Don't move」Kyou asked me to not dodge their strong attacks,
「Who would do that! I will die if I stop dodging!」I exclaimed as I kept on dodging Kyou's scythe and Myou's dagger,
「Be a man and be killed by us!」Myou increased her speed,
「I'd rather be not a man and not get killed!」I ran away as fast as I could but expecting them to follow me relentlessly,
「I'll find anything!!!~~~~」The damn fairy showed once again but not carrying the items she stole, presumably,
「Find me a weapon!」I exclaimed as I look back and saw Kyou and Myou was coming right at me at an incredible speed.

「A weapon~~~~ Coming right up!」 The fairy flew towards my right hand and held my thumb with both of her small hands,
「Open your hand~~~!!」She struggled to open my right hand by pulling my thumb. Since she told me to open my right hand, I opened it revealing my palm to the fairy,
「1....2! Bam!!!!」the fairy then turned into a generic Katana with a black hilt. The Katana rested on my right hand perfectly. The weight was perfect for me and the length was in a decent category too, making it easier to swing the Katana but if you compare the Katana to what Kyou and Myou has, the Katana was way too inferior,
「Don't you have something better!?」I talked to the Katana which I assumed was the fairy,
「・・・・・・・」The fairy didn't reply to me,
「No choice」I stopped and turned around. I decided to fight Kyou and Myou,
「Those two are not like Kami-nee, I can beat them」I took a deep breath and ran towards Kyou and Myou. The moment I put force on my right leg, I felt that my legs were stronger than usual making me able to run faster than before. Despite the distance between me and the sisters, I got close to the two in no time.

When I managed to get close to Myou, I stopped the time momentarily so that I could get the advantage to land the first hit. I raised my left knee up, hitting Myou on the stomach. The moment I landed a hit on her stomach, she bent down holding her stomach. I then immediately hit her nape with the bottom of the katana hilt. Myou immediately fell unconscious and fell down of the shallow water facing down,
「Unforgivable!」Kyou suddenly appeared right in front of me and her scythe was already about to land a hit on my chest. I was at a pinch so I stopped the time once again momentarily then I used that katana to defend myself. When the tip of the scythe hit the wide side of the katana, I saw a bright spark as the strength of Kyou's hit sent me flying far away from them.

When I managed to get my balance back, Kyou was already in front of me with her scythe already about to cut my right arm but I managed to block it with the katana but the katana was flung away from my hand.
「Damn it....」When Kyou was about to cut me with her scythe, suddenly the gravity pull got stronger. Me and Kyou were immediately down on the shallow water unable to move our body because of the weight on out body.
「What is happening!?」Kyou exclaimed as she struggled to stand up,
「Now! You idiot!」I heard the voice of the girl carrying a hammer then my body suddenly got lighter and I was able to move. After realizing that I could move, I immediately went to the katana. When I was able to hold the Katana, Kyou was also able to move but she was slower than before and her movements were full of openings so I randomly swung the katana. The katana cut Kyou in the middle of her chest. I was expecting that blood would come out but instead of blood, what came out were purple flames that is similar to a liquid. Just like her big sister, Kyou fell down on the shallow water facing down but she didn't lost her consciousness,
「Nee-sama......」Tears started to flow out from her eyes.

「My heart is not that hard. Kami-nee once said that I have to treat girls like they are princess....」I carried Kyou like a princess and I went to Myou. I placed Kyou beside her big sister and woke up Myou too while I was at it,
「Nee-sama.....sorry...」Kyou held Myou's hand,
「Let's sleep, Kyou.....」They both closed their eyes and they slowly turn into purple flames that eventually disappeared.
「What are they?」The girl carrying a giant hammer approached me and asked what Kyou and Myou are,
「..........Enhanced Bio-Florythm. Girls that was merged with Material Rythm」I answered her.

「My name is Accelia, thank you for saving me, Idiot」She reached out her hand to me asking for a handshake,
「I am not an idiot, it's Kazuma Kamine, Accelia」I shook her hand.

Right after I shook her hand we heard someone scream,
「Hi-Hiiragi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!」The voice was filled with sadness and also......anger.
