Chapitre 424: Shido and the Horde Arrive
Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Takanosu.
October, x785.
After the small talk ended, Alfonzo, Saeko, and Kiriko followed the Takagi family into the mansion where they were led to a meeting room.
"It would seem my daughter's magic power has been awakened in the last couple of days." Souichiro said as he took a seat at the head of the table in the meeting room."
"Wait!" Saya exclaimed after hearing her father speak. "Does that mean you knew I had the potential to be a wizard?"
"That's right." Souichiro replied calmly.
"Then, why didn't you ever tell me about it?" Saya asked with a frown on her face.
"It wasn't---" Souichiro began to say.
"Because we both know how dangerous the life of a wizard can be." Yuriko cut in while shooting a quick glare at her husband. "We wanted you to live a safe life. So, we thought it would be better to develop your mind rather than your magic."
Although Saya was clearly unhappy with that decision, she could at least understand where her parents were coming from.
Meanwhile, Yuriko, after saying her piece, leaned over to whisper into her husband's ear.
"We talked about this already, Souichiro." Yuriko said quietly. "She's no longer a child. She can understand the things we want to tell her if we explain them to her."
"Yes, I know." Souichiro replied while lowering his head. "But she should never have to worry about these kinds of things."
"Unfortunately, it's too late for that." Yuriko said as she took Souichiro's hand in her own. "At this point, all we can do is let her decide how she would like to live her life."
"*Sigh* You're right, Yuriko." Souichiro replied while squeezing his wife's hand lovingly.
"Anyway, I wanted to ask you all if you could provide some aid to the people we've managed to rescue since we got to Takanosu." Alfonzo said after the husband and wife's conversation seemed to end. "Right now, there are two places where Lici and I have help people set up a small shelter."
"And where would those places be?" Yuriko asked curiously.
"The first place we set up was a warehouse on this side of the river." Alfonzo replied. "And the second is at the primary school. In total, there are about a hundred people."
"Hmm... That may be difficult." Souichiro said. "Making our way through the town with a force large enough to move them all safely will cause a lot of noise..."
"And that would attract the undead." Kiriko said, finishing Souichiro's sentence.
"That's right." Souichiro said with a nod.
"I was partly expecting that answer." Alfonzo said, sounding slightly disappointed. "I was hoping we could get everyone somewhere safe. That way, I could use some of my more destructive spells."
"Aren't you worried about destroying the town?" Yuriko asked. "Your reputation says that you don't cause much property damage during your quests."
"That's not what I meant." Alfonzo replied while waving dismissively. "What I wanted to do was flood the streets with UV radiation in high amounts. Although that would cause the buildings to degrade slightly and cause discoloration, it would incinerate the zombies... I think."
"It's like spending too much time in the sun, right?" Saya asked.
"That's right." Alfonzo replied. "Just crank that up to eleven. But if there are people nearby, they could suffer from all kinds of skin and eye diseases. And I can't have that."
"I see your point." Souichiro replied with a nod. "Still, there's nothing we can do to move all the people to a safe distance."
"Yeah." Alfonzo replied with a nod. "And for the same reason, I can't use microwaves, either. Plus, they would do much more damage to the surroundings."
"Then, we'll just have to deal with them the old-fashioned way." Saeko said, a glint of sadism flashing through her eyes as she did so.
"Looks that way." Alfonzo replied. "Unfortunately, it will slow us down by quite a bit."
With that, Alfonzo, Saeko, Saya, Kiriko, Yuriko, and Souichiro continued to discuss the plans for helping the people of the town until close to sunset. And around that time, Alfonzo noticed that the horde and the magic vehicle leading it had come rather close to the mansion's front gate. So, they all made their way to the walls surrounding the Takagi mansion and waited for them to arrive.
"I really should have gone out there and attack preemptively." Alfonzo said as he looked down the path between the Takagi estate and the rest of the town.
"If you had done that, however, I would have missed the chance to see who was behind all this." Souichiro said from beside Alfonzo.
Glancing at Souichiro, Alfonzo noticed the katana on his hip. However, he doubted that he would be much of a challenge for the coming horde of undead. He could sense around thirty zombies that had reached the S-Class, after all.
'OH well, I'll just have to act quickly to take out the strong ones.' Alfonzo thought to himself. 'I'm the only one here who could take on an S-Class threat, after all.'
["Even if they're faster and stronger than the rest, they still have no technique to speak of."] Riot scoffed. ["So, what is there to worry about."]
["Riot's right."] Bedlam replied with a nod and a confident smile. ["What is there to worry about?"]
'Even so, I can't be careless.' Alfonzo replied internally while rubbing his left arm.
["*Sigh* I guess you're right."] Bedlam said.
At that moment, a magic vehicle approached the gate of the Takagi mansion. However, none of the zombies were visible. Then, after approaching the gate, the magic vehicle came to a stop.
"Hey, that's the same vehicle we escaped the school with, isn't it?" Saya asked quietly.
"That's what it looks like." Saeko replied with a nod and a solemn expression on her face. Then, she tightened the grip on the katana on her hip as she continued. "We should have figured this out a long time ago."
"Yeah, who else could be responsible for this mess other than that bastard, Shido?" Saya asked through gritted teeth.
Hearing that, Kiriko, Yuriko, and Souichiro frowned. They all knew what Shido Saeko and Saya were talking about. They also knew his father, a marquis of Fiore, as well. And they were both disgusting excuses for human beings. Especially Yuriko, Koichi Shido was the reason her daughter's studies were delayed, after all.
"Halt!" The same guard who stopped Alfonzo and the others shouted. "State your identity!"
Rolling down the magic vehicle's window, Shido stuck most of his upper body out the window before responding. Then, he scanned the people on the top of the wall. And when he saw Saeko, Saya, Kiriko, and Yuriko, he smiled widely. At the same time, he completely disregarded the presences of Alfonzo and Souichiro, considering them dead men walking.
"I am Koichi Shido!" Shido shouted, announcing himself to the guard. At the same time, a pulse of magic power rippled from the clip on his tie. "I have several survivors inside. We came here to seek shelter. So, could you please open the gates."
'So, that's how he [Charmed] his victims, huh?' Alfonzo asked himself. 'We definitely need to do something about that.'
At that moment, just before the guards, who had been [Charmed] by Shido's tie clip could move to open the gates, Alfonzo vanished from atop the wall. Then, in the next instant, he reappeared in front of Shido with his hand wrapped around the tie clip.
"What the…?" Shido exclaimed in shock. "Who the hell are you? Wait, I know that face, you're Alfonzo Marcus of Fairy Tail."
'If he's here, I wonder if that wife of his is here, too?' Shido asked as the thought of violating an S-Class wizard crossed his mind. 'Hahaha! I sure hope so. I've wanted to have her in my bed ever since I first saw her in Sorcerer Weekly.'
As if he could tell what Shido was thinking, Alfonzo's expression turned dark. Then, with his hand still wrapped around Shido's tie clip, he yanked him through the window before slamming him into the street.
"Gah! *Cough* *Cough*" Shido gasped as the air was forced out of his lungs before coughing up a mouthful of blood.
*Crack!*
At the same time, Alfonzo crushed the tie clip, releasing all those who had been [Charmed] from its effects.
"What have you *Cough* done?" Shido asked with bloodshot eyes in a pain-filled tone.
"I've met a lot of disgusting douche nozzles like you in my life." Alfonzo said in a frigid tone. "And a lot of them have had bad thoughts about Lici. I could basically see it in your eyes. And although you're nowhere near strong enough to do anything to her, even with your horde of zombies, I thought I needed to nip that shit in the bud. Then, make you pay for your crimes."
"Hahahahaha!" Shido began laughing uproariously. "You made a big mistake! You should have just let yourself be killed. At least it would have been painless. But now, I'll make you watch as I have my way with that whore you call a wife. Now, kil all the men and bring the women to me. But leave this one alive!"
*Bang!*
As soon as Shido's command was given, Alfonzo's fist landed on his face. As a result, his nose collapsed, all his teeth were knocked out, and the back of his head hit the street so hard that a two foot crater was formed from the impact. Yet, Shido's head somehow stayed intact, for the most part.
"Wrong answer, cock sucker." Alfonzo said as he released Shido's tie. "And as much as I'd like to kill you, this is the perfect incident to get that disgusting, greasy man you call a father put on trial for high treason. Because I'm sure you're not smart enough to do something like this on your own."
'I'm pretty sure Junko played a big role in getting all this shit started, too.' Alfonzo thought to himself as he used his magic to levitate the magic vehicle out of the way of the incoming horde. 'But it would probably be better to keep her name away from the public. Don't wanna give that crazy bitch the satisfaction of causing more despair, after all.'
A moment later, the magic vehicle was placed on the other side of the wall. At the same time, Saeko, Kiriko, and Souichiro had all jumped down to face the horde. Meanwhile, Saya and Yuriko stayed on the wall with the guards with magic guns in their hands.
"I always knew he and his father were disgusting." Souichiro said while glaring down at Shido. "But I never thought they would do something like this."
"Hmph!" Kiriko snorted. "Then you had no idea just how disgusting they really were."
"We can talk about what kind of fuck boys the Shido father and son are later." Alfonzo said as he turned his head towards the town. "For now, we have a horde to deal with."
Nodding in response, Saeko, Kiriko, and Souichiro each drew their weapons. A moment later, the sound of footsteps could be heard approaching from the direction of the town.
"I guess knocking this son of a bitch out didn't cancel his orders, huh?" Alfonzo asked as he stood up straight. Then, with much more force than necessary, he kicked Shido in the ribs as he continued. "Well, I better restrain him to make sure he doesn't escape while we're working."
*Crack!*
"Urgh!" Shido grunted unconsciously.
With Alfonzo's kick, not only were two of Shido's ribs broken, but a restraint harness formed on Shido's torso while pulling his arms behind his back. Then, a number of anti-magic sigils were inscribed into the harness.
"*Sigh* I'm not trying to look down on the rest of you, but there are more than a few of those things that are out of your leagues." Alfonzo said as he stepped forward and pulled Riot and Bedlam from the strap on his lower back. "So, I'm gonna thin the numbers a little if you don't mind."
With that, Alfonzo took a few more steps forward, confusing the others as he did so.
"What are you talking abo---" Kiriko asked with furrowed eyebrows.
Before Kiriko could finish asking her question, however, Alfonzo flared his magic power to its limit, causing everyone else to open their eyes wide in surprise.
"[Run wild with destruction on your fingertips. Usher in Pandemonium with creation in your hands. Riot, Bedlam]." Alfonzo chanted, causing his tonfa to melt down into liquid metal that covered his hands.
At the same time, instead of feeling pressure from Alfonzo's magic power, everyone present nearly fell to their knees. In fact, the only reason they did not is because Alfonzo was controlling his output. Otherwise, everyone other than Kiriko, Yuriko, and Souichiro would be lying on the ground, completely incapable of moving. Meanwhile, the aforementioned three would have been forced to their knees.
"What in the world is this boy?" Souichiro asked in an incredulous tone while everyone else was thinking something similar.
"Now, let's do something about those S-Class threats. [Electromagnetism Magic: Thunder Storm]." Alfonzo muttered just before vanishing from where he stood in a burst of speed.
At the same time, dark clouds began to gather over the Takagi mansion. Then, a bolt of lightning fell from the gathered clouds, landing on one of the S-Class zombies, with the shockwave sending many weaker zombies flying.
As time went by, more of the S-Class zombies were struck by lightning while the shockwaves split up the weaker zombies. On top of that, thanks to the loud cracks of thunder, all the zombies in the area were overloaded with sound. Plus, even more zombies were drawn to the battlefield, as well.
'I hope Lici realized what's going on.' Alfonzo thought to himself as he touched the S-Class zombies, attracting the falling lightning to them by changing their electric charge, at high speed. 'Things are gonna get pretty hectic by the time this shit is over and done with.'

Chapitre 425: Coming Across the Bridge
Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Takanosu.
October, x785.
"Looks like Fonzie is getting serious." Elicia said as she turned her head in the direction of the Takagi mansion.
Currently, Elicia was playing with the children at the primary school along with Takashi and Kohta while all those capable of cooking made dinner for everyone taking shelter in the primary school.
"What do you mean?" Takashi asked curiously.
"Look out the window in the direction of Saya's house, and you'll see." Elicia replied with a smile.
Instead of Takashi, it was Kohta who moved towards a window in the direction where Elicia turned to. And when he did, he was thoroughly confused.
"When did those clouds roll in?" Kohta asked in a dumbfounded tone. "It was completely clear only a few minutes ago."
"Clouds?" Takashi asked as he, too, stood up to look out the window. "Holy... What the...?"
Takashi's loud exclamation drew the attention of the children. His mother, Sayuri also came out of the kitchen to see what was the cause of the commotion.
"Takashi, why are you making so much noise?" Sayuri asked with a slight frown.
"It's because of that?" Takashi said while pointing his finger towards the storm clouds in the distance.
Deciding to take a look as well, Sayuri made her way over to the window Takashi was standing in front of. Then, when she finally saw what Takashi was pointing at, she frowned slightly.
"Such a sudden storm isn't a good omen." Sayuri murmured.
"This time it is." Elicia said with a smile as she stood up and started walking towards the school's front entrance. "For the people of this town, anyway. Not so much for the zombies, though."
"What do you mean?" Sayuri asked as she turned her head in Elicia's direction. "Uh... And where are you going?"
"To help Fonzie." Elicia replied as she reached the door. "Although he probably doesn't need my help, it will be faster if I go."
"But it's about to storm." Sayuri said in a concerned tone.
"I'll be fine." Elicia said as she pulled the door open, walked through it, and closed it behind her.
"I really don't think you have to worry, Mrs. Komuro." Kohta said as he returned to playing with the children. "Before any of us noticed the storm clouds, she said something about Alfonzo getting serious. So, those clouds are probably his doing."
"But how is that possi---" Sayuri began to ask.
*Rumble!*
Before she could finish, however, a flash lit up the surroundings, followed by the sound of thunder. However, it did not take long for the lightning to strike for a second, a third, and even more times. In fact, it struck so many times and in such close succession that it was impossible to see or hear anything for nearly a minute.
By the time the onslaught of lightning ended, the younger children were screaming in either fear or excitement, while the older children and adults were covering their ears and closing their eyes.
"Well, now I know what she meant..." Kohta muttered.
Meanwhile, Elicia was making her way towards the Takagi mansion to offer her assistance. However, she did not go there in a straight line. Instead, she made a quick detour to intercept all the zombies who were drawn in that direction by the rumbles of thunder.
"Wow! There are at least fifteen magically enhanced zombies heading that way." Elicia said in an amazed tone. "There were already around seventy in the original horde."
["Does that mean you're gonna put on a show like Fonzie?"] Scylla asked, the smile on her face audible from her tone.
"Might as well." Elicia replied as she flared her magic power. "Mend the Seams of Reality, Scylla]."
With that, the wristband on Elicia's left wrist began to glow before covering her hands and transforming into golden scales. On top of that, with the surge in her magic power, Elicia's speed tripled.
Then, after about thirty seconds, Elicia found the first magically enhanced zombie.
"[Cross Stitching]." Elicia chanted as she shot one of the dragon scales on her right hand at the zombie.
Mid-flight, the dragon scale transformed into a golden needle with a dragon motif. Then, the eye of the needle was threaded by one of Elicia's threads. A moment later, it pierced through the zombies upper lip before stitching its mouth closed.
"There, now we don't have to worry about it biting anyone." Elicia said.
["Yeah, but don't their scratches transmit the curse, too?"] Scylla asked.
"You're right." Elicia replied.
By now, the zombie, while not reacting to having its mouth stitched shut, turned in Elicia's direction thanks to the fact that she had not lowered her voice while speaking to Scylla. Then, at a speed comparable to Elicia's base speed, it dashed at her with its arms outstretched.
"I guess I should do something about that, too, huh?" Elicia said as she ejected threads from the tips of her fingers.
In the next instant, before the zombie could get into striking range, the threads looped around its wrists.
"[Thread Magic: Thread Guillotine]." Elicia said as she constricted the threads around the zombie's wrists.
*Swish!*
Once again not noticing the state of its body, the zombie's hands fell off. Then, it swung its stumps at Elicia in an attempt to scratch her.
"Eww!" Elicia exclaimed as she frantically dodged the blood spraying from the zombie's wrists. "In hindsight, that was a really bad idea."
["Yeah, I thought you would stitch its fingertips to its palms."] Scylla replied.
While continuing to avoid the spraying blood, Elicia opened her eyes wide at Scylla's reply.
"I didn't think about that." Elicia said in an enlightened tone.
["You didn't think?"] Scylla replied in an exasperated tone. ["Why doesn't that surprise me?"]
"You don't have to be so mean about it, Scylla." Elicia replied with a pout.
["I'll be nicer when you start thinking about your words and actions."] Scylla replied mercilessly.
Instead of replying, Elicia continued to pout as she yanked the fingers of her left hand.
"[Thread Magic: thread Slicer]." Elicia chanted.
A moment later, all the threads Elicia released while she was dodging the rotten, spraying blood came flying towards the zombie. Then, with little resistance, they mince the zombie into small pieces of flesh and bone fragments.
"Alright, the rest should be coming this way soon." Elicia said as she stood in the middle of the street. "Looks like this group was drawn away from the bridge."
["That should take a lot of pressure off the knights defending the shelter on the other side of the bridge, then."] Scylla said. ["I wonder if that's where Rika was stationed. I mean, there's no airport to defend in this town."]
"Who knows." Elicia replied. "But maybe I should start working my way in that direction instead of waiting for them to come to me. Then, I might get to meet her."
["That's actually a pretty well thought out plan coming from you."] Scylla replied in a tone that made it clear she was smirking.
Once again, Elicia could only pout at her [Armament Spirit]. However, that did not slow her down or change her decision. So, like a whirlpool of threads and needles, Elicia dashed down the street while lashing her threaded golden needles around her.
At the same time, the knights guarding the shelter on the other side of the bridge were watching the zombies in the area start moving towards the lightning storm in the distance.
"Does anyone have an idea what's going on over there?" A middle-aged man with black eyes and hair, greying at his temples, asked.
"It's probably magic, Captain Miyamoto." A young knight replied.
"I'm aware." The middle-aged man, Tadashi Miyamoto, replied in an irritated tone. "The question is who could have used a spell that powerful? There shouldn't be anyone in this town with that much power."
In response, all the knights stationed at the shelter could only exchange unsure glances.
"Well, if no one is sure, I think we should go and find out." A tan-skinned woman standing at around 5'7" with shoulder-length purple hair tied in a ponytail, wearing a light armored chest plate, that did not cover her midriff, revealing her stomach and a small part of a white crop top, and a pair of dark shooting glasses covering her red eyes suggested. "And I volunteer to make the trip."
As she spoke the last part, The purple-haired woman leaned the large caliber magic rifle in her hands on her right shoulder.
"*Sigh* Of course you do." Tadashi said in an exasperated tone. "However, you're right this time, Chief Minami. But I can't send you alone."
Hearing that, Chief Rika Minami smiled happily. Meanwhile, the other knights focused their attention on Tadashi to see who would be accompanying her on his potentially suicidal mission.
'Good.' Rika thought as she waited to see who her teammates on this mission would be. 'If I'm lucky, I'll even get to check on Shizuka while I'm on the other side of the bridge, too. I wonder if she went to stay at my place after all this shit started.'
With that thought, Rika slung the rifle she was holding onto her back. Then, she reached into the pocket of her pants' pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes, pulled a cigarette out of the pack, and lit it by making a small spark with her magic power.
'*Sigh* There's no better reason to learn just a little fire magic than this.' Rika thought as she inhaled the smoke from her cigarette.
"Crawford, Sato, and Tendo, you will be going with Minami on this investigation mission." Tadashi said after finally deciding on the team assignment. "The rest of you will be staying here to continue guarding the shelter."
"Sir!" All the knights shouted while saluting.
"Now, get your gear and take one of the Humvees." Tadashi ordered. "Dismissed."
"Sir!" Rika, Crawford, Sato, and Tendo replied in unison.
A moment later, Crawford, Sato, and tendo ran off to get geared up. Meanwhile, Rika, who was always carrying a sniper rifle, a shotgun, and a pair of pistols, looked at Tadashi.
"We'll check for news about your wife and daughter while we're on the other side, Captain." Rika said as she turned around to head to the magic vehicles.
"I appreciate it." Tadashi replied with a light smile. "But don't put yourselves in any extra danger because of that."
Waving over her shoulder while taking another drag from her cigarette, Rika kept walking towards the magic vehicles.
"Don't worry, I'll keep those boys safe." Rika said. "I don't like unnecessary risks, you know. On top of that, comrades don't die on my watch."
Nodding in understanding, Tadashi saluted at Rika's back.
A few minutes later, with Sato driving the Humvee, Rika, Crawford, and Tendo were on their way across the bridge.
"Even though we don't' know who cast that lightning spell, it really helped us out, didn't it?" Sato asked from behind the wheel. "I mean, all the noise basically pulled all the zombies in one direction."
"Yeah, but the guys back at the shelter might have a hard time dealing with all those things trying to get to the bridge, though." Tendo replied in a slightly concerned tone.
"Don't worry about them, Captain Miyamoto will keep them in top form." Rika said after blowing a cloud of smoke out of the window in the backseat.
"Hey! What is that?" Crawford asked from his spot on the opposite side of the back seat while pointing out the window.
With Crawford's exclamation, Rika and Tendo turned to look in the direction he was pointing.
"Is that… a wall?" Tendo asked while squinting at the massive black object down the river.
"Stop for a minute, Sato." Rika ordered as she gripped her sniper rifle.
With that, Sato slowly brought the vehicle to a stop Then, Rika stood up, opened the hatch on the roof, and looked down the river through the scope of her rifle.
"It really is a wall." Rika muttered. Though, it was loud enough for the other three knights to hear. Then, as Rika turned around to look in the opposite direction, she continued. "I wonder if… Yup, there's a wall on the other side, too."
"Where the hell did that wall come from?" Sato asked with a frown on his face.
"More importantly, did whoever cast this ritual put up walls to keep anyone from escaping?" Crawford asked.
"Or did someone raise walls to keep the undead from spreading?" Tendo asked.
"*Sigh* We'll have to find out once this mess is over." Rika replied while closing the hatch as she sat back in her seat. "For now, let's keep going."
"Ma'am!" Sato replied as he stepped on the accelerator once again.
Not long later, the Humvee began approaching the zombies who were heading for the Takagi mansion. Although Alfonzo had ended the [Thunderstorm] spell when all the S-Class enhanced zombies were destroyed, many of his spells still utilized lightning and electricity. And to keep as many zombies heading towards their location as possible, he did not lower the volume on any of the bolts.
"Ma'am, we've caught up to the horde." Sato said. "What should we do?"
"Just keep following them." Rika said, once again standing up in the back seat and opening the hatch. "I'll clean up as many as I can while we're moving."
"Understood." Sato replied while matching the speed of the back row of zombies.
"Alright, just like shooting ducks n a barrel." Rika said as she held the magazine to her sniper rifle. "[Bullet-Make: Spread Shot]."
In the next instant, a bullet appeared in the chamber of her rifle. Meanwhile, four more appeared in the magazine in her hand. Then, she took aim at the zombies in front of her.
"[Target Magic: Multiscope]." Rika chanted as she looked through her rifle's scope and aimed at five running zombies.
*Bang!*
Then, once her aim was locked on the heads of the five zombies, Rika pulled the trigger. In the next instant, the bullet flew out of the rifle's barrel. Then, while mid-flight, it split into five needlelike shells, with each needle piercing through the back of the targeted zombie's heads.
"*Sigh* Seeing the Chief work never gets old." Tendo said while he watched the five zombies lose momentum and slide forward after falling.
"Yeah, she's got to be one of the top five shots in the knights." Sato replied.
"And that's why there have never been any rumors of men getting into the Chief's bed." Crawford said with a chuckle.
"Damn right!" Rika shouted as she lined up her next shot. "If a man can't even out shoot me, there's no way in hell he's getting into my pants."
*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*
As she spoke, Rika emptied the remaining rounds in the magazine. However, just as she was about to create more ammo with her [Bullet-Make Magic], she noticed that the number of zombies in front of the Humvee was reducing with no input from her.
'Damn, are there a bunch of those strong ones devouring the weaker ones while they run?' Rika asked herself as she hurriedly created more powerful ammo. 'The [Spread Shot] shells won't be enough for those.'
"[Bullet-Make: Inferno Shot]." Rika chanted before loading her rifle once again.
However, when she looked through her scope once again, Rika was thoroughly surprised.
*Bang!*
"Hey, Sato, stop!" Rika shouted after pulling the trigger and causing a B-Class zombi to be engulfed by intense flames.
Following the order, Sato brought the Humvee to a stop once again.
"What's wrong, Chief?" Sato asked in confusion.
*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*
"Someone is ripping straight through that horde in front of us." Rika said as she took aim at four more magically enhanced zombies with her [Multiscope] spell and pulled the trigger four times in succession. "And I don't want you to run into them by mistake."
'Otherwise, if the way those zombies are getting minced up, we wouldn't survive the collision.' Rika thought to herself. 'But still, I didn't think anyone from outside the town would be here. But I guess she's not bad back up. And I'd bet my next month's salary that I know who cast that lightning storm now after seeing her.'
Naturally, the one Rika saw ripping through the horde was Elicia. So, instead of speeding forward, Rika continued picking off zombies while Elicia approached. Eventually, once the entire horde was dealt with, Elicia approached the Humvee.
"Wow, you might even be a better shot than Bisca." Elicia said with a smile as she walked up to the passenger side of the Humvee and looked up at Rika, who was still sticking out the hatch on the roof.
"That sounds like a challenge, Magic Seamstress." Rika replied with a smile after blowing out a cloud of smoke. "I might have to make a trip to Magnolia to see just how good a shot this Bisca is."
"I think you should, Miss Minami." Elicia replied with a smile.
"Oh, you know who I am?" Rika asked as she raised her shooting glasses.
"Yeah, Shizuka talks about you a lot." Elicia replied with a nod. "A tall, tan-skinned, purple-haired knight with big boobs, though not as big as hers, and a good, really good, shot."
"You met Shizuka?" Rika asked, her tone rising in both anticipation and worry. "How is she?"
"You don't have to worry, she's fine." Elicia replied. "Anyway, if you're willing to give me a ride to Takagi mansion, I don't mind telling you what she's been up to on the way."
"Sure, climb in." Rika replied in a carefree, yet somewhat excited tone as she dropped back into the Humvee and closed the hatch. Then, she opened the door on the passenger side of the vehicle as she continued. "By the way, do you know who cast that lightning spell earlier?"
"Yeah, that was my husband." Elicia said while smiling proudly.
"That's what I thought after seeing you here." Rika said as she scooted towards the middle of the back seat and Elicia climbed in. "Anyway, tell me about Shizuka."
With that, Elicia closed the door. Then, Sato started driving once again as Elicia talked to Rika about Shizuka and everything she had been up to since Alfonzo and Elicia arrived in town.
