“Ahhhhh——”
Rain screamed, but suddenly felt a pair of strong hands supporting her from beneath.
The weightless feeling of freefall vanished.
At the same time, a fresh and pleasant scent enveloped her.
It was a faint floral fragrance mixed with the scent of some kind of metal surface.
Rain’s eyelashes trembled violently like a butterfly’s wings in the Rain, and she carefully and slowly opened her eyes.
Coming into view right before her were pink hair and eyes with stars in them.
That was an incomparably energetic face.
“Got you.”
Aria maintained her projected posture, so at this moment, the halo above her head glowed faintly, and the wings behind her fluttered.
“An… Angel…?”
Rain, who had just walked through the gates of hell, looked at this scene and murmured subconsciously.
Aria didn’t speak, simply placing Rain on the rooftop.
Also brought up by Aria was the Rebels squad leader.
One of the squad leader’s feet was clamped between Aria’s legs so they didn’t fall, but the cost was a bit severe.
“Ahhhhh——!”
The Rebels squad leader wailed.
The tactical boot on the foot clamped by Aria was completely deformed, and it was imaginable that the flesh inside wouldn’t be in a good shape either.
But the situation was critical, and Aria had already tried her best; how could she have time to mind controlling her strength?
Meanwhile, as Aria was saving people over here, Nangong directly picked up the energy rifle on the ground after rolling.
At that instant, part of the Rebels’ attention fell here, while another part was attracted by Aria and the squad leader who had been knocked flying, giving Nangong room to operate.
She expertly raised the energy rifle and unhesitatingly fired at the Rebels targeting this side.
The energy cluster landed on the Rebels’ feet, causing the group to instantly let go of their guns, clutch their feet with both hands as they jumped up, and then crash face-first onto the rooftop.
Having resolved the immediate threat, Nangong then pulled a dagger from the gaiter of a Rebel blasted to the ground and went back to untie Tenshi and Sunna.
Neither Tenshi nor Sunna felt the slightest bit of shock about the fact that Nangong could use a gun.
In their eyes, Nangong was almost omnipotent.
So it was completely normal for Nangong to use a gun.
After being freed, Tenshi directly took Sunna and ran to a relatively safe corner, then opened her schoolbag.
A-Cai crawled out from inside.
Crawling out along with it were quite a few Blastcrawlers.
Tenshi raised a hand to point at the Rebels and said,
“Withering Heart Attack! Activate!”
The Blastcrawlers moved immediately.
With their round bodies and short little legs, their movement speed was unexpectedly fast, rapidly closing in on the Rebels.
At this moment, the Rebels’ attention was completely focused on Aria and Nangong, the two obvious high-tier combat forces, and they failed to notice these little fellows.
Thus…
“Aria, fall back.” Nangong gave concise instructions.
She and Aria jumped backward together, their wings fluttering behind them as they quickly put distance between themselves and the targets.
“Boom!”
A series of flashes erupted consecutively, forging a wall of fire before everyone.
As the flames dissipated, the Rebels lay sprawling across the ground.
[Rain is shocked by your chain explosion, marveling at the Angels’ ways. Shock +122.] Visit g.com for the full chapter.
“I’ve seen you tinkering with Aether batteries and whatnot for a while now…”
Nangong sidled up to Tenshi and said,
“I even caught a glimpse of some formulas you wrote down earlier. I originally just guessed, but I didn’t expect you were actually making bombs.”
“This is Withering Heart Attack, this is art,” Tenshi said.
“I’ve been preparing this for us for a long time.”
“Blastcrawler… Blastcrawler? Blastcrawler!?” Sunna, on the side, recalled the shape of Tenshi’s bombs, seemed to remember something, and her eyes widened sharply.
Turning her head, Sunna grabbed Tenshi’s shirt collar with both hands:
“I remember now, there were quite a few little Blastcrawler-like things drawn on the stage drafts you designed before! Were you actually planning to set off bombs on stage?!”
[Sunna belatedly understands your dangerous idea. Shock +133.]
“Oh my, how explosive that would be, and besides, the power of Withering Heart Attack isn’t that big,” Tenshi said while being shaken.
As soon as Tenshi said this, Aria, Sunna, and Nangong all stopped.
The three little ones slowly turned their heads at the same time and looked at the rooftop.
Come to think of it, the explosive power of this thing really wasn’t that big; it merely knocked out the Rebels standing closest.
Although it also damaged the rooftop, it didn’t directly blow the place down.
After blinking twice, the expressions of the three little ones changed.
“Come to think of it, Tenshi’s idea actually seems feasible,” Nangong said, propping up her chin with a serious tone.
“But we’d have to get past Teacher Cecilia first,” Aria said.
“Compared to that, barely anyone watches our official account anyway; where would there be a stage for Tenshi to set off fireworks?” Sunna sighed, her tone suddenly turning somewhat dejected.
A sorrowful atmosphere suddenly enveloped the four girls.
A few seconds later, Tenshi shook her head vigorously.
“Instead of this, let’s leave this place first. The explosion just now will definitely attract patrolling Rebels from elsewhere.”
Tenshi snapped the other three out of it, and the four prepared to leave here first.
But the Rebels’ fallback speed was much faster than imagined, and a large crowd swarmed over.
These people were the returning Rebels, running up in an orderly fashion from the stairwell with guns raised.
Although shocked when they saw the Rebels lying on the ground, they immediately aimed their guns at Rain and the four little ones.
“You…”
The leading rebel among them was just about to question them when he suddenly noticed that not a single one of the five people had their attention on them.
Whether it was Rain or the four kids before them, all of them had their heads raised, staring blankly at the sky.
In the sky…
is there something?
Out of curiosity, the Rebels also raised their heads to take a look.
Not looking was fine, but one look gave them a fright.
In an instant, all the Rebels panicked.
A massive shadow was rapidly moving toward this side, blocking the cold moonlight and descending like Mount Tai pressing down from above.
The Rebels’ original plan was to hijack the airship.
At this moment, seeing this scene, seeing the airship approaching the roof of the Ballet Twins Building, they ought to feel joy and happiness.
However, this airship’s state was not right!
It wasn’t flying down normally; it was, it was——
It was crashing over like a heavy truck!
“What is that, what is that thing!”
A rebel reached out, pointing at the flaming thruster on the edge of the airship, and shouted loudly.
That was an Intelligent Construct wearing a red motorcycle jacket, with white hair fluttering in the wind.
At this moment, this Intelligent Construct’s hands tightly gripped the landing gear beneath the airship, while the thrusters on its back erupted with furious flames!
No way!
What kind of situation is this?!
Where did you get this illegal modification done, why are you pushing an airship straight over?!
The Rebels began running about like headless flies, wanting to escape this rooftop.
…
A few minutes ago.
After ending his call with Ling, Billy waited quietly on the air court.
Even though Ling said she was operating together with Victoria Housekeeping, with the goal of rescuing Rain and stopping the airship’s fall.
And because they had crossed paths before, Billy knew that the friends from Victoria Housekeeping were all very powerful.
But Manager Ling’s side was long overdue with news, which still made him start feeling restless.
He paced back and forth constantly inside the passenger cabin and cockpit, nervously staring at the real-time map on the console dial, his logical core heating up from running wildly due to anxious emotional simulations.
Watching the airship get closer and closer to the Hollow where the Ballet Twins Building was located, Billy could no longer sit still.
Standing in the passenger cabin, Billy looked at Nicole, Anby, and Nekomata sleeping soundly in their seats, and the expression on his facial monitor became earnest and resolute.
“It seems today, there’s no chance to show off in front of people. But new modifications are meant to be used at times like this. For friends, for family, so what if no one cheers?”
Billy clenched his fists, placing them in front of his chest, feeling that he was extremely handsome.
“The system modified by Tenshi definitely has enough horsepower, but given the financial situation of the Cunning Hares, energy is always a problem. Therefore, trying to directly drag away the airship and take it to a safe location is clearly impossible.”
Billy muttered, left the passenger cabin, came to the railing at the edge of the airship, and glanced downward.
The roof of the Ballet Twins Building was already right before his eyes.
If the airship could be made to dock on the rooftop, that would be the best outcome.
“At this very moment, it is the prime time for my transformation!”
Billy spread his legs slightly, withdrew his left hand to his waist, and held his right hand out flat to the right side.
Afterward, he slowly clenched his right hand into a fist and placed it in front of his chest.
“Hen——shin!”
The next moment, Billy’s right hand snapped back to his waist side, and his left hand extended straight up, pointing his fingers at the heavens.
Then…
Billy’s right hand gently touched a certain button on his belt.
The next instant, Billy’s body began to change, and the metallic body on his back, concealed by the motorcycle jacket, rapidly deformed and unfolded.
Gears rotated, levers moved, and pistons operated.
Two seemingly small thrusters extended from Billy’s back.
“Showing off? I’ll let you fly if you want to show off.”
Billy recalled what Tenshi had said to him on the day of the modification.
“That’s right, at this moment, it is time for me, Billy Kid — Sky Form — to make my debut! Warm-up complete, prepare for ignition! Passion is burning!”
Billy’s hands were placed at his waist, and the thrusters on his back spewed plasma.
The next second, Billy leaped forward, letting out a shout: “Toh!”
The thrusters on his back carried him away from the airship, soaring through the sky.
Billy spun around, went around to the outside of the air court, grabbed the landing gear of the airship, and intense fire burst from the thrusters on his back.
Along with an unimaginable, unreasonable, and unscientific surge of power originating from unorthodox modifications, the airship shook violently in mid-air, and then began to be pushed by Billy, descending toward the roof of the Ballet Twins Building.
Billy’s eyes burned with the light of a hero: “Hmph, isn’t it just an airship? Watch me push it right over!”
