Erythronium changed, Vanadium 3rd floor .
With the ability to change the terrain in the dungeon, it was remade into a space almost the same as the garden of the mansion, and I was facing Alice .
At a distance, Emily stands side by side with Vanadium, watching over us with a serious expression .
“Then I’ll start . ” (Alice)
“Anytime . ” (Ryouta)
“Okay … one two, Ryochin!” (Alice)
Snap! Alice snaps her fingers .
Summon magic, All Might Ryochin .
From the rift in the space, an existence that could be called my alter ego was summoned .
I was the first player to take the initiative .
Before Ryochin came out completely, I fired a normal bullet with my right hand revolver and set a barrage .
The barrage was likened to a wall and rushed toward Ryochin .
Bang bang bang!
Ryochin also fired a gun in rapid succession .
In the same way, he greets with normal bullets . The bullets struck in the air, scattered sparks, and flew away .
From there, I went one step further, sneaked into Ryochin’s blindspot, and swept from a low position .
Ryochin did a small jump and pulled his leg quickly while reloading bullets into the revolver on his right hand and sticking the muzzle to my head .
I twisted my body to dodge . The launched bullet hit the ground and created an icicle .
With the momentum, I turn my body 180 degrees, kick the icicle, and flick it toward Ryochin .
Rumble!
The vibration was so impactful that the air trembled .
The kicks that were released toward the icicles smashed the icicles at the same time, and the kicks collided with each other .
As a result, the icicles exploded, and in reaction to that, we were pushed out of each other’s space .
“Phew … Ryouta sure showed a fine display . ” (Alice)
“Yes desu . ” (Emily)
“But why don’t they both use their left-handed revolver? There’s the new bullet in there, right?” (Alice)
“There is a big chance for a sure-fire blow nodesu . ” (Emily)
“What?” (Alice)
“I used to get hit by Slime to slow them down before attacking . If the opponent has the same ability, the chances after the attack would be more deadly . ” (Emily)
“Naru-the-hodo . Are they both aiming for that?” (Alice)
Emily and Alice discussed at a distance .
The words of the two did not come to my ears .
I couldn’t afford to deal with Ryochin with exactly the same strength as myself whilst paying attention to what they’re saying .
Both me and Ryochin lack a decisive factor .
And neither tried to shoot the left-handed revolver .
It is clear that what is put in there is a trump card for each other .
The exchange of bullets from a close range . There were also scenes in which the act of pulling itself was blocked in an attempt to pull the trigger .
The trump card is in an antagonistic state with an extremely high possibility of misfire if it tries to shoot it .
The time is ticking .
My left hand moved reflexively .
After 30 seconds, Ryochin will disappear due to timeout, so we have to settle by then .
If I try dragging time in order to win my opponent, it’ll leave a bad taste in my mouth .
Therefore, my left hand moved a little——on the other hand, I knew that it was still early .
It created a momentary gap, and Ryochin did not miss it and pointed the left muzzle at himself .
Time Stop .
I tried to shoot the time-stopping bullet using a double Speed Up bullet at myself .
If the time was stopped, the winner would be confirmed, and that was the trump card for Ryochin .
And that was what I’m waiting for .
Ryochin’s attention withdrew from me to myself .
In terms of time, a short time of less than one hundredth of a second . But surely, Ryochin’s consciousness was far from me .
I pulled the trigger on my left hand .
The trigger itself was close to the same timing as Ryochin .
I was reading the opponent’s movement .
I read that the other side would come using time stop, so when Ryochin shot to the left, I decided to pull at the spinal reflex level as well .
Therefore, I closed at the same time .
And Ryochin’s left hand flew away .
The time-stop bullet fired from the gun was struck into the ground and had no effect .
“It’s a combination of speed up and an iron wall . ” (Ryouta)
Speed Up bullet that increases speed, iron wall bullet that penetrate the slowest of all bullets without being interfered by anything .
When the two were put into Vanadium bullet, the speed disappeared .
It was neither early nor late .
The slow factor was rid, leaving only the result of a hit .
For bullets that exceeded the speed of light, the gun was shot before the time-stop bullet was shot at a close range .
As I had read so far, I quickly stepped in and pointed the muzzle at Ryochin’s forehead .
“Checkmate” (Ryouta)
“…” (Ryochin)
Ryochin laughed with the stuffed toy’s face, raised both hands and posed for surrender .
And 30 seconds .
The time was up and Ryochin disappeared .
“Fuuuh… Wow!” (Ryouta)
“… (smiles)!” (Vanadium)
As soon as the battle was over, Vanadium hugged me and smiled at me .
Along with that, Alice and Emily are approaching .
“That was impressive Yodsan, I didn’t understand half of the fight desu . ” (Emily)
“Thank you, I managed to win by a tiny margin . ” (Ryouta)
“Maybe Ryochin will use it from now on . ” (Alice)
“Whether to read the lies and deal with it, or read my moves 3 times ahead . It is troublesome to have the same specifications as myself . ” (Ryouta)
“But you won” (Alice)
“Somehow… By the way Alice . ” (Ryouta)
“Hmm?” (Alice)
“Could you lend me Ryochin the days when you don’t use him?” (Ryouta)
“Sure . But Ryochin is a trump card, so I’m sorry if I have to use him on some days . ” (Alice)
“Of course” (Ryouta)
I managed to win against myself using Vanadium bullets .
I stroked the head of young vanadium .
Ryochin is big for Alice, but it’s becoming more difficult and important for me .
I’m just a little bit stronger than he is now .
Always a little more than myself .
It leads to growth .
Also, I wanted to improve my ability to prevent a child like Vanadium’s past from appearing .
