“I'm not happy... Looks like you've been doing as you please, Elexis”
Koutarou stared at Elexis with a sharp glance. There was no way that Koutarou could remain calm when facing the man who was the reason the girls had been hurt. To him, the girls were like the sun, they were the light that lit up his every day. And now those girls were hurt and lay collapsed on the ground. It was as if Elexis had stolen the light from the world, and Koutarou couldn't forgive him.
“I didn't really wish to. Harming women is not elegant after all. However, it was needed to defeat you”
“Me?”
“That's right. You are the biggest obstacle in the way of defeating her majesty Elfaria and princess Theiamillis. And most of all, I can't fulfill my objective if I can't defeat you”
Elexis creating those robots and sending them at the girls had all been done to defeat Koutarou. From his experience in the past, Elexis considered Koutarou his top priority. If Elexis and the military tried to attack the empress and princess, Koutarou would get in the way. So in that case, defeating Koutarou first would lower the risk. That was Elexis's judgment on the situation.
“And you live by the good old code of chivalry. While I believe that spirit of yours is worth respect, when it’s time to attack you, targeting that first is effective. It'll be hard for you to win while protecting all of your friends”
“So that's your plan...”
He was up against Elexis and the ten robots by his side. The remaining coup d'état soldiers that had been lying in wait until now advanced forward whilst avoiding Koutarou. They were targeting the collapsed girls in order to hold him back. Koutarou would need to defeat Elexis and the robots while preventing the soldiers' advance. In order to create this situation, Elexis had launched a large scale attack on the girls of room 106. Elexis had deployed a force larger than what Kiriha had foreseen because he was after Koutarou, not Theia or Elfaria. He didn't care if he left behind evidence if he was going to go up against Koutarou. Once he had eliminated Koutarou, he could slowly defeat Elfaria and Theia in a way that wouldn't leave behind any evidence.
“Now, let's begin, Koutarou-kun. You don't have much time left”
“...Even after 2,000 years, you're still my most troublesome opponent, Dextro...”
Koutarou strengthened his grip on Signaltin and pointed the tip towards the giant Elexis was in.
