Chapter 294: Only the Fist Is True Damage
Miku was not wrong. The current Tachibana Hibiki was changing. She was no longer the same as she used to be. Whatever, she started to change from the day she met Jia Ji.
A change that made it difficult for her to turn back!
If it were the past Hibiki, encountering this situation, she would probably be at a loss and not know what to do. She had always been a clumsy person and would always make the people around her worry intentionally or unintentionally.
It's just that Miku is indeed a child with overly heavy emotions...
Facing the terrifying, pitch-black, deep, black-hole-like gravitational field radiating from Kohinata Miku, Tachibana Hibiki's answer was—
"Miku... I really am an idiot..."
The girl closed her eyes tightly, lowered her head, and tried her best to hold back the urge to cry, because tears would not have any effect in such a situation.
She had an agreement with the people of the Second Division not to reveal anything about Symphogear users, even in such a situation, she still had to abide by it.
There were reasons she couldn't say.
But understanding her friend's intentions, how could Tachibana Hibiki remain indifferent?
She reached out to Miku, who was crying.
"So, go with me—
Use these eyes to witness what has happened to me! If it's Miku, you will definitely understand!"
Since language could not convey it, then prove it with action.
People in uniforms were on alert all around. Around the smashed buildings were the cordon lines they had pulled up, blocking the bloodthirsty onlookers. Each of them carried more or less killing intent, their figures were robust, and they didn't look like ordinary security guards at all.
If they were to fight, they might not have the terrifying combat power of Feng Mingyi, but they were definitely not something ordinary terrorists could rival.
For these days, tourists, experts, those fishing in troubled waters, those with ulterior motives, all kinds of people, the audience around each had their own ghosts. The number of people who came for this golden statue that fell from the sky was countless. Although the British government emphasized it repeatedly, it was of no avail.
In order to prevent safety accidents, the government had to mobilize all the elite troops in the country just to guard this place.
And under pressure from various countries, as well as its nature of being unable to move, England had to choose to conduct joint research with various countries.
Although until now, they hadn't researched anything.
"Ah... Hibiki, you're here! And who is this...?"
Sakurai Liaozi, who called herself a "capable woman," received the news, squeezed out of the crowd with a smile, and greeted the two girls who had come to this place from another country.
The surroundings were noisy, and no one noticed these two girls who were only of junior high school age.
Kohinata Miku instinctively felt that there was a strange feeling about this weird aunt in front of her, and she shrank behind her friend.
In order to figure out what happened to her friend, she resolutely arrived in Lunduncheng with Tachibana Hibiki. Everything around was very strange, people, things, objects, language, everything brought her a sense of unease.
However, she didn't feel regret.
"Any new discoveries?"
Hibiki's voice was very calm, but her expression surprised Miku. It was a sadness she had rarely seen.
"Hmm... although there has been no major progress until now, but—" Liaozi seemed very satisfied with Tachibana Hibiki's question. She flicked the report full of waveforms in her hand and deliberately lengthened her tone.
"But, he is not dead yet..."
Sakurai Liaozi judged so.
Under that indestructible golden skin, they detected weak brain activity.
"What on earth are you talking about..."
Miku asked in confusion. Although she didn't know what happened when she was in the country, when she had already stepped into the local area of the incident, she inevitably came into contact with some information.
Not dead... could it be the statue that people were discussing? How is this possible?
It was just that at this time, Hibiki, who had been holding her hand tightly since getting on the plane, shook her head gently, and then pointed to the center of the thing through countless crowds. "That is my master... that is, the person you saw that day, Miku."
She was not surprised by Sakurai Liaozi's words, because she had always firmly believed that Jia Ji would not just die like this.
"Hibiki..."
Miku still couldn't accept it. A golden statue being her friend's master or something, but this time she chose to believe Tachibana Hibiki.
"I have been thinking about what I should do these days, and what I can do with my power... but when I truly arrived here, I knew..."
Battle Maiden Tachibana Hibiki said decisively, as if narrating an ordinary thing, ordinary to the point of not needing explanation, only needing to accept the "truth."
"Master helped me a lot, so this time it's my turn to help him."
Her eyes were startlingly bright, burning from inside with will as fuel!
Jia Ji said he entrusted everything to her.
In other words, this was something only she could do.
If it was to be used, it was now...
Only now!
"Balwisyallnescellgungnirtron——"
The girl's flaxen short hair suddenly floated up, and dazzling light wrapped around her whole body like a chain.
Hard armor with distinct edges, orange-white tights, headgear, combat boots... in Kohinata Miku's shocked eyes, they appeared on Tachibana Hibiki one by one.
Transforming openly in public?
She clenched her small right fist, her arms covered with pure white wrist armor that seemed to have the color of the sky, and the girl's clean white arms reflected a luster like diamond under the sunlight.
Her whole body's bones crackled, and then she walked forward step by step, walking toward her goal. Her heavy footsteps pressed the ground she walked on until it cracked and shattered, and the stone ground instantly collapsed into a large amount of fine sand and dust.
An unstoppable momentum rose from her body.
The people who were still arguing fiercely suddenly felt a chill down their spines and looked tremblingly at the girl who covered her face with a long, blade-like scarf.
Then, they moved out of the way in unison to form a straight path forward, almost wetting themselves.
"Little girl, this is not where you should come..."
"No entry!"
"Don't move forward!"
The men in black noticed the abnormality at the first moment! Uniform actions! Uniform waving! Uniform blocking!
They formed an indestructible barrier with their bodies.
"Please, don't stop me!"
In an instant, the girl turned into an ultra-high-speed phantom invisible to the naked eye and clenched her fists.
The target she was going to attack was—Jia Ji!
