The mission given to Seeker and Lecturer was to rescue the survivors outside Atlastia.

To do that, they had to deal with the massive number of Angels rampant across this continent.

Even lower-class Angels were tough for ordinary soldiers.

If they were upper-class, then even a small-scale operation required planning.

And if they were above that—Cherubim-class or Seraph-class—then being able to escape was fortunate.

The world was filled with such ruin and despair.

If one could race across continents like that as if they owned the place, they would be nothing short of a hero.

"Sooo fast! Yay!"

【We're about to reach the operation start point. ⊂二二二（　＾ω＾）二⊃】

Seeing the paper the Lecturer held out, Seeker snapped to her senses.

'I'm not here to enjoy an attraction. At this rate, I'm just like a child.'

"No, no. If the most sensible person in Silver Twilight acts like this, I'll be laughed at."

"……"

"What is it?"

Lecturer quietly shook his head.

Then he gently set Seeker down there.

In that instant, the world bared its fangs at them.

The moment Seeker landed on the ground—more precisely, the moment Lecturer stopped—every Angel around them fixed their aim on the two at once.

"My, we're being targeted."

"……"

Lecturer raised his fists.

At his feet, Seeker tapped her toes.

"Now then, let's see what you can do."

With that as the signal, the trampling began.

Stag-type Angels that spread death through sound all shook their horns at once.

But it had no effect on Seeker.

Mere death could not stop the Sword of Unrei.

"How trivial."

Her heart certainly stopped, and her brain ceased functioning.

But the next instant, magic power revived her once more.

This round trip between life and death in an instant was a special skill possible only for the people of Unrei, who wielded magic power as part of themselves.

One after another, Angel heads floated into the air and turned into silent corpses.

Yet the Seeker's shoes remained white, and her legs kept their beauty.

A mere Cherubim-class could not even sully her pure white.

(Fufun, I'm amazing. To be this at ease even against so many Angels. Lecturer must surely respect me too!)

Seeker looked in the direction where Lecturer was fighting.

With that build, he must make quite a good target.

She thought she would quickly finish up here and head off to the rescue.

But he surpassed Seeker's imagination.

"……Huh?"

Standing in the wasteland was the Lecturer alone.

The countless Angels that had surrounded him until now were nowhere to be seen.

"Huuuh!? Wait, why!?"

Seeker stopped moving in surprise.

Taking that opening, one Angel attacked, but she killed it with a counter kick without even looking, then ran straight to Lecturer.

"W-what is going on!? The Angels!? I was supposed to save you in a cool way!"

"……"

Lecturer looked around, then pointed at a city visible in the distance.

He seemed to be in a hurry.

"Mm, I know! Then I'll go on ahead!"

Seeker started running.

Her speed was considerable, but Lecturer calmly began running alongside her.

"Wha……! I can run much faster than this, you know!?"

"……?"

"I won't lose, though!?"

"……"

While running, the Lecturer, looking puzzled, took a sheet of paper from his pocket and held it out toward the Seeker.

【（；´・ω・）】

"What's with that face!?"

Seeker sped up even more.

But Lecturer kept running heavily alongside her without breaking a sweat.

■

【I see, an Angel that absorbs magic power. I understand the situation (　･`ー･´)】

The explanation along the way was given perfectly by Lusciera, with nothing lacking or excessive.

Perhaps it was also because the Lecturer had listened obediently.

Among those they had awakened so far, he was the calmest in confirming the facts and beginning to act.

"I think you understand, but……"

【Yeah, I understood once I saw it for myself. It's fine if I'm the last to come out. It would waste capacity. If these are the third and fourth, we should still conserve our strength.】

"As expected. You understand well."

Before long, with the Lecturer at the lead, they returned to the outer wall.

Right before their eyes, Angels and Scholar were waging war.

Lecturer murmured while watching the scene with his arms crossed.

【Impressive. If magic power won't work, then they can use other powers. Moreover, they're using multiple powers properly so the Angels don't learn them. As expected of the Scholar. Their way of fighting is careful, and watching it puts me at ease. Seeker or sensei wouldn't be able to do this.】

"Hahaha, those two always push through with brute force, after all."

The spiritual power cannon fired by Scholar hit an Angel directly, kicking up dust and creating a violent wind.

But even as it hit him, Lecturer did not move an inch, merely staring at the battle.

【Professor, may I ask one thing?】

"What is it?"

【Who are those swordsmen over there? They seem quite skilled, but（`・д´・ ；）】

Because the emoticon showing tension appeared on his helmet, the mood there just wouldn't tighten up.

A short distance away, combat was still ongoing; it was hardly a time to be talking.

But Lecturer plopped himself down right there and looked at Touraku and Kei.

【It's polite for me to introduce myself first, right? I'm the Lecturer. A member of Silver Twilight. I'm mainly in charge of fighting Angels.】

Then Touraku and the others noticed.

He was probably trying to meet their eyes as much as possible.

【（｀・ω・´）】

The displayed face also felt extremely friendly.

Touraku sent a glance to Kei, stepped forward, and bowed his head.

"I'm Gatou Touraku. I came from another world. This sword is my partner, Lutra."

『Nice to meet you. We'll cut down the Angels here too.』

【……Could you be the ones who overcame the Calamity!? What a reliable reinforcement! I'm counting on you!】

Touraku walked closer and extended a hand to the Lecturer.

He immediately understood the intent and gently grasped that hand.

【To think the day would come when I could shake hands with people from another world like this! And heroes from another world, no less!】

"We're not anything that grand. Besides, our world was saved thanks in part to Lusciera."

"I didn't particularly intend for that."

【I see……Ahh, so that's how it was.】

Lecturer looked up at the sky with a flood of emotions.

The frozen sky of that world had no charm at all, but the Lecturer soaked in sentiment for a while.

【You're the ones who saved her, aren't you（；´Д⊂）】

"We were just saved on our own. We didn't do anything."

Kei said that curtly, then glared at the Angels.

She seemed to want to join the fight right away, and was staring at Scholar.

"More importantly, is it really okay to be this leisurely? You look quite at ease, though."

【Are you worried?】

"Hah?"

【Your gaze has been turned toward the Angels for a while now. If something dangerous happened to the Scholar, you'd immediately move, wouldn't you? You seem to be a kind-hearted warrior.】

"……Hah!?"

Kei was taken aback by the favorable words straight to her face and fell silent.

Seeing that, Touraku introduced her in her place.

"She's Kei. Like me, a warrior from another world. Just as you said, she's kinder, stronger, and more reliable than anyone."

"Be quiet, Touraku."

【I'm counting on you, Kei!】

"……Yeah, nice to meet you."

Kei nodded reluctantly.

Then she turned her gaze back to the Angels. More precisely, to Toa and Nameless, who were facing the Angels.

"Sigh, it's not like I revived you just to chat here. If you won't fight, I'll fight in your place, okay?"

【Do not worry, kind-hearted warrior.】

Lecturer remained seated, watching the Scholar.

His face was covered by the helmet, so his expression could not be seen.

But from him now, she felt a warm, strong atmosphere like that of a father.

【Silver Twilight won't lose at this level. I'll move when the time comes too ((⊂(`ω´∩)】

"……I wonder if you're really okay. And just what is that emoticon, anyway?"

【It's a habit.】

"I see……"

At the concise answer, Kei stopped questioning further.

『With this, all of Silver Twilight is assembled. Looking at it like this, it's quite an amazing lineup.』

『That's because we're humanity's representatives! With this, victory over the Calamity is guaranteed. Wahaha!』

『Guaranteed or not, it's been the Thigh God's match-pump from the start, hasn't it?』

『I do not do match-pumping. I perform the selection seriously.』

『Then what's with those huge thighs?』

(TL Note: Man, this Lecturer guy's starting to become my favorite character. Ryuuko is still number 1 for me though....God, I wanna see more ryuuko content.)
