“Yes. There's no one else with as varied a power as you. You're the only one I can ask”
If it was just about offensive power, or overall fighting capabilities, then Theia and Shizuka respectively were in a league of their own.
But the only one that could adapt to any situation was a magician like Yurika. It was an excellent ability for operating on her own”
“I-I don't have any confidence...”
“Kiriha-san, this is too much for Yurika. Should I go instead?”
“”She's right! Maki-chan is much better at attacking than me!”
Darkness Rainbow specialized in the misuse of magic. In other words, this sort of surprise attack was their forte. That was why Maki had offered to take Yurika's place.
“No, I'll need you to confuse the enemy's main force. Yurika will have to go”
“No waaay~~”
However, Kiriha was set on using Yurika. Since Maki specialized in mind manipulation, she was vital for dealing with the larger force. And because of her specialization, she was less adaptable than Yurika. In Kiriha's mind, only Yurika could do this.
“You can do it, Yurika”
”Sanae-chan, please don't make it sound so easy”
“You only need to drive them away, so go give it your all”
”Regardless of what we think, they are coming with the intent to kill us!”
“Then will you just wait here without doing anything? Once Koutarou gets here, he'll be really angry”
“...Uhh~~, I-I'll do my best...”
Since Yurika is a coward, she was hesitant at first, but once she realized a future more scary than death, she took three underground soldiers with her and vanished into the forest.
“Without Koutarou, Yurika is useless, isn't she?”
“Will Yurika-chan be okay?”
“Maybe I really should have gone instead...”
“We can't afford to say that. The enemies coming our way won't be easy either. Shizuka, Sanae, get up front. Maki come with me”
There were five girls from room 106 here. Each of them were given three subordinates from the underground to back them up. As a result, five squadrons had been made. As the commander, Kiriha would make use of them to produce the most favorable results. Currently, Yurika squad was sent out to suppress the enemy's detachment force. Shizuka, skilled in close combat, and Sanae, capable of strengthening and mid-range attacks, were sent to the front to attack the enemy's main force. Maki and Kiriha would take up position in the rear and were in charge of long-range attacks and distractions using magic.
I just hope Theia-dono's absence won't affect us too much...
Kiriha had plenty of matters she was concerned with. However, she wasn't in a situation where she could whine. They had to win no matter what. If they didn't, the future they desired would never come.
