Sora Rescue Operation EP.21

In a space removed from Sora.

 

 

"Hmm... I somewhat expected a rejection response when fear was injected..."

 

 

 

There, black suit observed Sora, who had just shown signs, and recorded the experiment results.

 

 

 

"At this rate, it seems she won't last much longer. There were still many things I wanted to test..."

 

 

 

Perhaps because the results were not as good as expected,

 

 

 

"It can't be helped. They'll probably arrive soon, so shall we return now?"

 

 

 

Black Suit stopped his work and started walking away.

 

 

 

"Well then, if you are alive, I look forward to the 'deal' you mentioned."

 

 

 

"Takanashi Sora."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Cough! Ugh...!"

 

 

 

It hurts. It fucking hurts.

 

 

 

Even I, who have developed a tolerance to most pain from suicide attempts, can barely endure this.

 

 

 

It feels like something is moving inside my body, destroying me from within.

 

 

 

'Is this what fear is...!!'

 

 

 

"Ugh!!"

 

 

 

And perhaps because of that,

 

 

 

"Cough! Cough!!!"

 

 

 

At first, I only vomited, but now I'm spitting out blood.

 

 

 

"Haah...! Haah...! Ugh...!"

 

 

 

If hell exists in reality, this must be it.

 

 

 

"Ugh...!"

 

 

 

Grind!

 

 

 

But even in this insane pain, I gritted my teeth and held on, determined not to lose my mind.

 

 

 

If I die like this, I'll go back home, but I can't return with my mind shattered, can I?

 

 

 

So no matter how painful it was, with the sole thought of being able to return home, I continued to endure the pain.

 

 

 

But at that moment,

 

 

 

Thump!

 

 

 

"Keck!!?"

 

 

 

My efforts were in vain. As if the pain wasn't enough, something stirred inside my body, doubling the agony.

 

 

 

"Aaaaaaah!!!!!"

 

 

 

'This, this is insane...'

 

 

 

This is dangerous. I feel like I'm going to lose my mind any second.

 

 

 

I was barely holding on until now, but any more pain is impossible.

 

 

 

'....If I lose consciousness here, what will happen?'

 

 

 

Will I go mad? Or will I never wake up again?

 

 

 

I don't know what will happen, but I know I can't lose consciousness.

 

 

 

"Ah, agh, ugh...! Cough...!"

 

 

 

But contrary to my thoughts, my mind started to crumble, little by little.

 

 

 

"Ugh...! Bleh!!!"

 

 

 

The pain intensified even further, and the blood now gushing out of my mouth was eating away at my sanity.

 

'Fuck... Just let me die already...'

 

 

 

Even in this situation, my body refuses to die.

 

 

 

In the end,

 

 

 

"Ah... Agh... Ah..."

 

 

 

Unable to withstand the pain, I could barely speak.

 

 

 

'No, I can't...'

 

 

 

I had no choice but to lose consciousness.

 

 

 

"I'm sorry..."

 

 

 

'Wh-what...?'

 

 

 

Accompanied by a woman's voice I've never heard before.

 

 

 

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... It's all my fault... If I hadn't done that..."

 

 

 

"...I'll fix this. That's my atonement."

 

 

 

"So... just sleep for a little while."

 

 

 

*

 

 

 

 

 

Sensei, after meeting black suit, realized the situation was more serious than expected and headed straight to the Prefect Team for Gehenna's assistance.

 

 

 

"What? Do you want to meet the Prefect Team leader? Do you think you can meet the Gehenna Prefect Team leader that easily?"

 

 

 

"Well, you never know. Maybe if you prostrate and lick my foot..."

 

 

 

Slide

 

 

 

"Eek?!!"

 

 

 

After licking Iori's leg there, he received Gehenna's cooperation.

 

 

 

And,

 

 

 

"Hmm. Preparations complete."

 

 

 

"Ehehe~ This old lady is all set too."

 

 

 

"Yep! We have plenty of supplies and snacks."

 

 

 

"Alright, we're fully prepared! I slept well, and ate a full meal!"

 

 

 

"Yes. I've also collected and updated all the old maps of the Abydos desert. According to the information Sensei provided, Sora-senpai is in the middle of District 51 of Kaiser PMC."

 

 

 

"We'll operate on the safest route to reach there!"

 

 

 

With Abydos, having finished all preparations,

 

 

 

"Let's go!"

 

 

 

"Yes!"

 

 

 

"Then, the mission to rescue Sora-senpai, begins!!"

 

 

 

They headed towards the enemy base where Sora was held captive.

 

 

 

*

 

 

 

Setting out to the base, they defeated the forces blocking their way one by one, sometimes receiving assistance from Hifu... I mean Faust, and continued onward.

 

 

 

"Arrived at the target coordinates!"

 

 

 

They safely reached the target location.

 

 

 

"Sora-senpai is locked up somewhere around here! Search carefully. Surely..."

 

 

 

"....."

 

 

 

"This is..."

 

 

 

But they couldn't help but be bewildered.

 

 

 

"A s-school? These ruins... This is definitely a school, right?"

 

 

 

The place they arrived at was clearly ruined, but anyone could tell it was a [school] larger than Abydos High School.

 

 

 

"A school in the middle of the desert... Then this is..."

 

 

 

"Ah, yes. This is the main building of the Abydos school."

 

 

 

"!!"

 

 

 

At that moment, they heard a voice from behind, the person responsible for this incident.

 

 

 

"..."

 

 

 

"You...!!"

 

 

 

"So you've come all this way, Abydos Countermeasures Committee."

 

 

 

The Kaiser PMC executive appeared.

 

 

 

"Enemies, reinforcements... These numbers are all of the enemy's forces. Kaiser PMC intends to begin a full-scale war here!"

 

 

 

Bringing all his forces with him.

 

 

 

"The ruins of Abydos school, abandoned due to desertification... This was the heart of Abydos."

 

 

 

"It's a building from the past that you probably don't know about... But the remnants of what was once the largest and strongest academy in Kivotos lie buried in this sand."

 

 

 

"Gematria demanded that we establish a laboratory here."

 

 

 

"Laboratory...!!"

 

 

 

Hearing the executive's words, Nodoka shouted and asked him.

 

 

 

"Where is Sora-chan!"

 

 

 

"The new student council is in the building beyond us."

 

 

 

"But I recommend you give up."

 

 

 

The executive genuinely advised them to give up, but

 

 

 

"We refuse."

 

 

 

"Do you think we'll give up if you bring your forces and threaten us!?"

 

 

 

"That's right. We're taking Sora-chan back!"

 

 

 

"...I'm taking my sister back, executive."

 

 

 

Unwilling to give up, they rejected the executive's suggestion and prepared for battle.

 

 

 

"...I see."

 

 

 

But seeing their determination, the Kaiser executive, instead of getting annoyed, calmly took out a tablet from his pocket and operated it.

 

 

 

"Then, look at this."

 

 

 

A screen of a certain location appeared in front of the Countermeasures Committee.

 

 

 

"This is the student you're looking for."

 

 

 

And on that screen,

 

 

 

"...What is this..."

 

 

 

"...Sora-chan...?"

 

 

 

"...Ah, Aah..."

 

["Aaaaaaah!!!!!"]

 

Sora was shown bound all over, bleeding profusely, and writhing in pain.

 

"Well, what do you think? Do you still want to save her? Then try to get past us."

 

"Abydos Countermeasures Committee."
