Chapter 48: Marisa's Special Training?! Android VS Magician!
2B accepted Kirisame Marisa's proposal.
Because she had envisioned the troubles she might encounter after returning.
Numerous machine lifeforms, artillery fire coming from all directions, unpredictable enemy surprise attacks.
If she just trained slowly alone, familiarizing herself with the enhanced speed, it clearly wouldn't be enough to cope with high-pressure environments.
So 2B, in turn, requested Marisa accompany her for a training battle.
Luke didn't stop the decision made by the two together.
He just seriously made fried rice, while reminding the two,
"Don't cause too much destruction outside. That's my only requirement."
"Of course! Of course! I wouldn't dare cause trouble near Luke-san's restaurant!"
Marisa, usually fearing nothing, nodded obediently at this moment and led 2B outside.
Shameimaru Aya and Usami Sumireko inside the shop followed suit.
Kawashiro Nitori also picked up the remaining half of her cucumber and walked outside, intending to watch the battle process between the two.
"I'm the magician Kirisame Marisa! Today I'll just use the most basic spell cards~ Please take care of me, daze!"
"Please take care of me."
"Very good! Let's begin!"
Marisa had no intention of starting gradually, immediately taking out her Mini-Hakkero.
As the tool in her hand began to charge energy, eight miniature magic circles rotated around her.
"Love Sign 'Master Spark'!"
The Mini-Hakkero then shot out a laser beam.
2B's tactical analysis module instantly activated, analyzing the gaps in the enemy's attack trajectory.
Without any hesitation, 2B, relying on the acceleration device installed by the kappa, darted through the earth-penetrating laser beam like a red meteor.
"That spell card isn't basic at all... No, perhaps for Marisa, it is the most basic."
As Usami Sumireko commented, 2B had already rushed in front of Marisa.
"Your attack has large openings."
"This is just the beginning! Missy!"
"———!?!"
2B saw new light.
Magic Sign 'Stardust Reverie'—
Marisa mounted her broom, moving and charging forward along with the stardust!
Marisa, instantly creating distance, easily evaded 2B's attack by flying.
Even if the latter accelerated, she still couldn't catch up to the blonde magician's speed.
At this time, Kawashiro Nitori, having finished her cucumber, shouted loudly,
"Actually, I also installed a hidden function! At maximum output power, you can use those ejected magic streams as weapons!"
"Understood."
2B immediately interpreted the information provided by Kawashiro Nitori and used it in turn.
The moment the next wave of lasers shot over, 2B pushed the enhancement charms beyond their limits.
The charms installed by the kappa immediately burst with light from the connection points.
A scarlet blade 'ejected' from the joints of 2B's hands.
The blade, composed of blood-colored light streams, was used as a weapon by 2B, slicing through Marisa's magic laser!
For a moment, light exploded, the spreading impact sweeping across this patch of woodland.
Luke in the kitchen felt the vibration.
Looks like Marisa didn't listen...
As Luke thought this, 2B outside, relying on the overdriven kappa charms, leaped from the ground surface.
Marisa in the air revealed a smile.
"Now that's more like it! A very interesting fighting style!"
Marisa laughed loudly and accelerated, the broom's tail flame exploding behind her into a golden nebula.
2B discovered that whenever she tried to get close, the opponent would deliberately pull away, filling the gap with danmaku.
Thanks to this, 2B had to evade the danmaku raining down from the sky, just like dodging machine lifeform bullets.
Just as 2B re-locked onto Marisa, the opponent also began to dive.
"Wait! You guys! Wait!"
Kawashiro Nitori suddenly shouted.
But neither 2B nor Marisa stopped.
Just like that—
Bang!!
The impact erupted!
However, this energy didn't come from the clash between the two.
But from the charm on 2B's right hand.
The magic power surging from there entered a berserk state, making 2B unable to maintain balance, falling to the ground.
Kawashiro Nitori, holding a wrench, ran over.
"Heave ho!"
There were also inscriptions on the wrench she held.
Accompanied by one strike, the berserk charm returned to its previous stability.
"Phew... Sure enough, overdrive isn't quite feasible. Can't use it in the future."
"Indeed."
2B nodded in affirmation, but she mostly agreed.
"But this power truly exceeded imagination. Miss Kawashiro's skills indeed deserve the title 'genius'."
"Eh? Really? Ehehe, thank you for the compliment!"
Seeing this scene, Marisa, who had put away her Hakkero, also ran over to observe the situation. After confirming there were no problems, she scratched her head and said with a smile,
"Your speed is really fast, Miss 2B. You dodged my attacks without even using spell cards."
"I believe you didn't use your full strength either."
"Of course! I just wanted to test it out, not really fight."
Marisa finished speaking and ran into the shop, laughing merrily.
After everyone returned to the restaurant, Luke quickly served the fried rice Marisa wanted.
"Mmm... Luke-san, is this fried rice a bit spicy?"
"Added a little extra, you should like it, right?"
"The taste is certainly stimulating..."
Marisa thought for a moment, then ordered another glass of carbonated drink, finishing the fried rice on the plate along with it.
On the other side, 2B, after being repaired again by Kawashiro Nitori and having the charm's drive restricted to some extent, reappeared before everyone.
"I think I should go. There are still missions that need me to complete."
2B hadn't forgotten the orders she received.
Luke in the kitchen heard this sentence.
Wiping the water stains from his hands with a towel, he said with a smile,
"Just push open the restaurant door when you want to come over. Although I can't entertain you with delicacies, I think 'Gensokyo' can become the resting station you need."
Customers from myriad worlds all hold different purposes, harbor different thoughts.
But there was one point Luke could be sure of—
In this 'Gensokyo', no matter where you come from, believe you can find a piece of heaven and earth belonging to yourself.
