Chapter 370.1. I'll Defeat Masatoshi

-Miu's POV-

With her mouth hanging open, Miu looked astonished. Miu's ice-blue eyes widened in amazement, and she stopped moving.

In front of her was the figure of Masatoshi, who was protecting Kanna Tsuki with outstretched hands. 

Well, well. I understand. It's a template, right? The heroine who becomes the enemy appears in the lead-up to the final battle. Yes, I get it very well. Did you think she got brainwashed? Kanna Tsuki is a lovely heroine like a small animal. So I can see why.

I can understand, and I'm about half to blame for this. Before going to defeat Kanna Tsuki, I should have explained properly. 

Miu is also at fault for neglecting to explain.

However, looking at Masatoshi, who is proudly exhaling through his nose, his face relaxed, I feel a mysterious sense of discomfort. Even without the ability to foresee the future, I can easily predict the developments that will follow.

"Oh... What on earth am I doing?"

"You've become the enemy. In the present progressive tense!"

[God Radiant Dragon Sword]

The sword with a serpent-like blade transforms into light, unleashing the fastest attack. A refreshing sound, like wind chimes, resounds as it aims for Kaname, who is trying to stand up by shaking her head.

You were planning to say something like, Thank you, Masatoshi-san, with teary eyes and hug him, right? I know another template development!

The radiant dragon raises its head and attempts to cut through Kaname at the speed of light.

No mercy. I can predict the subsequent developments easily!

This blow should have sent Kanna Tsuki flying and allowed Masatoshi to create some distance.

If I wasn't repelled right in front of Kanna Tsuki.

A crimson barrier floats in the air, and intense light sparks as the radiant dragon's attack gets deflected.

"What! The Radiant Dragon Sword gets repelled!"

A magic barrier was created with a crystal shard as its fulcrum. The crystal shard could only withstand one blow. It shattered, sparkled, and disappeared, but the fact that it managed to block the attack is surprising.

I chose the wrong martial technique. I used the fastest but weakest technique to create distance from Masatoshi. Light attributes get easily blocked by barriers.

Even though he shouldn't have been able to react, it's an automatic deployment type? What was it called, [Crimson Soft Serve Ice Cream]?

"Be calm, gray-haired girl. Kanna Tsuki isn't that bad. She's not a stupid girl who's a petty and foolish underdog."

He chuckles and, with a confident expression, sweeps his fiery red hair. Can I punch him? I think it's okay to kill him, too.

Kanna Tsuki crouched behind trembling, so even if Miu didn't kill her, she seemed likely to be killed.

I shift my gaze, thinking that maybe Sena will stop them, but unexpectedly, there's no sign of her stopping Masatohi. Well, it seems like she's hesitating about whether she should stop him.

This is bad. The original Kanna Tsuki didn't reveal any flaws. She didn't show anything suspicious, so Sena thinks she's been brainwashed too. Communication is very important.

"I'll stop it from here on, gray-haired girl. With this [Flame God] mode, I can fight you on equal terms. No, I'm probably stronger."

Masatoshi sways his palm with confidence. He emits a frightening aura, and the eyes of Yamiyo and the others, who have become terrifying, are filled with killing intent, but it seems they haven't noticed.

However, this time, there's no time for joking and playing around. I need to defeat Victory quickly and bring down Kanna Tsuki. 

The problem is the positioning for the takedown. I don't want Kaname to take advantage of the situation, saying something like, "Hehehe, just as I calculated. I knew you would come here.".

"Stop it? Can you, gray-haired girl? You can't match me. Not in this [Flame God Mode]."

As Miu hesitates, Masatoshi snorts and becomes even more confident. With his body shining in a bright red aura, having obtained a new power or entering some Microwaving Mode, he says something about a Tengu... Huh?

[Hey, hey, that guy is doing something amazing!]

[Yeah, true! Oh, observing yields the same result. Be careful in the fight!]

Miu and System-san notice something extraordinary about the red Masatoshi and express surprise. He's doing something unbelievable. 

Well, maybe it's not worth worrying too much about.

[Don't worry! Be careful not to lose your fish!]

Although System-san panics, Miu would like to eliminate any lingering concerns. Well, she'll try to be careful.

"Well then, I'll defeat you!"

"Hmph, don't resent me if I hold back."

The battle begins. Sorry, Masatoshi. Well, not really sorry at all!

"Take this!"

[Rapid Strikes]

"Ngh!"

Transforming the serpent-like sword, Miu swings it gracefully. With a gentle sound like wind chimes, the divine sword's aura swiftly circles Masatoshi. 

Then, in an instant, it shatters all the crystal sculptures of the Crimson Soft Serve Ice Cream floating in the sky. It's useless to move quickly to evade. Miu has seen through all of his movements.

Precisely and accurately, she aims and destroys the palm-sized crystals one by one.

"My [Prism Crimson]!"

As the finely shattered glass-like fragments scatter around like debris, Masatoshi widens his eyes in astonishment. Well, that magic is famous, so she nullified it first.

"Not so fast."

[Absolute Step]

Seizing the opportunity, Miu kicks the deck, closing the distance to zero. Only afterimages remain in that spot, and instantly, she closes in on Masatoshi, clenching her small fist.

"Mii-chan Punch!"

"Ugh, what the!"

Delivering a stomach punch, Masatoshi tries to cross his arms to defend. Unconcerned, Miu steps onto the floor, causing a significant depression, twists her hips, and conveys power to her fist, delivering a powerful punch.
