“You're absolutely right! Well said, Red Shine!”
That voice belonged to neither Kenichi, Hayato, nor Kotarou. It wasn't Daisaku's nor Megumi's neither. The moment they heard that voice, the mechanical soldier in front of Kenichi was cut in half.
“Eh?!”
As the mechanical soldier's two pieces fell, a boy wielding a large sword and wearing a beautiful blue armor appeared.
“It looks like you've become real heroes in just a few months”
“Baron-san!”
The boy that cut the enemy in half was Koutarou. Surprised by his sudden appearance, Kenichi was at a loss for words and remained motionless. He was surprised both by Koutarou and the fact that he had easily cut the soldier in half. As Kenichi remained motionless, the underground people rained fire down upon him. That was where the black haired girl, Kiriha, who was standing next to Koutarou,quickly gave an order
“Karama, Korama, Spiritual Energy Field to maximum output!!”
“Roger!”

“Leave it to us Ho-!”
In the next moment, two haniwas floated up in front of Kenichi. The haniwas created a shield made from yellow light and protected Kenichi.
“This is bad, Koutarou! These attacks aren't based on spiritual energy!”
However, that shield of light, that barrier, was already starting to collapse. That was partially because of the amount of bullets, but also because the haniwas' barrier was the most effective against spiritual energy-based attacks. Since the weapons used this time weren't based on spiritual energy, the barrier wouldn't last for long.
“It's okay, leave it to me!”
Next up was a girl with silver hair, Harumi. She closed her eyes, held her hands in front of her chest spoke mysterious words as if they were song. This was ancient Forthorthe, used in the activation of magic.
“Gather, spirits of water! Dance, spirits of wind! Combine these two powers and appear, spirits of lightning!”
As her incantation progressed, the white light enveloping Harumi grew stronger. As if resonating with that, Koutarou's sword began emitting the same colored light.
“Like a coiled snake, like a rising tornado, show yourself! Whirl! Thunder Spiral!”
Having finished her incantation, Harumi opened her eyes wide and thrust her hands forward. As she did, a giant coil several meters in diameter that was made from red light appeared from her stretched out hands. The red coil that had suddenly appeared had a powerful electromagnetic current, and it twisted the trajectory of the oncoming bullets through electromagnetic induction. As a result, the bullets didn't even reach the haniwas' barrier.
