It was the first time I had felt that.
The strong know the strong, and when I heard that, I thought it was none of my business.
But I was wrong.
The weak know the weak.
I could feel the weakest air in front of me as I looked at Dr. Deus.
"You're not supposed to be in this situation alone with me, Dr. Deus. You're going to tell me everything you know.
Right, the mightiest man in the universe is going to use his powers on me. I wouldn't do that, if I were you. All it takes is one swipe and I'm deadly to the point of no return.
Dr. Deus is unapologetically and unsparingly showing off his own weakest point.
He is my kind of person, after all.
"Don't worry. It won't come to that.
Because with all my strength, I can't even beat up a small animal.
Here we go, Dr. Deus.
Hee.
He whirls his arms around like a child to get at Dr. Deus.
Dr. Deus, who is desperately protecting his big head with his hands, bursts into a poka-poka and a whirling punch.
'Hii, there it is, there it is, there it is? Huh? It doesn't hurt that much.
You didn't dare take a lethal punch from me. You're good, Dr. Deus.
"Takumi's behavioral memo #35: "It is believed that in order to avoid inflicting extreme damage on opponents when fighting weaklings, Takumi's physical abilities are reduced. I need to correct that memo #32, which states that he can't take it easy.
Dr. Deus takes notes while taking punches.
Huh? That's pretty generous, isn't it?
Do you think you're stronger than me?
Well, in that case, I'll do my best to fight, Takumi.
With that, Dr. Deus attacked me as well.
My hands were buzzing around.
Same thing, the exact same attack as mine.
Poka poka poka poka poka poka poka poka poka poka poka poka poka.
The two of us exchanged glancing punches.
It doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt.
It's a barren offensive with no more decisive action than a child's fight.
However, I was a little pleased to be the first person to go toe to toe with someone.
It's a good idea. But I'm not going to lose!
Takumi did it. I'm not gonna let you down.
Dr. Deus felt the same way, and before long they were both fighting with smiles on their faces.
And on the other hand, in the rear, a terrific battle between Karuna and Ex was going on.
''Evil Dragon Dark Great Flame!
The all-directional killing machine gun!
The sound of outrageous explosions and destruction.
You can tell it's a high-dimensional battle just from the sound alone.
I'm a little embarrassed by the sound of this one's distracted flapping sound.
'We'll do it, but alas, we're about to run out of gas, aren't we?
"Madadak! 'Madamada War Err!'
The battle at the rear is reaching its climax, as Ex's limits are nearing.
Meanwhile, here too.
''Hahaha, good fight, Takumi-kun. But alas, we're getting tired by now, aren't we?
Yeah, it's so hard.
My arms were too heavy to turn anymore.
They were both turning into helpless punches.
Haha, don't get tough. Yes, we'll get this done before we run out of steam, let's go!
I'm on the verge of a major breakthrough.
The two of them explode with power behind them.
In that situation.
'Hey, hahaha, we're screwed. Let's take a break. Maybe we can settle the score later, Takumi-kun.
"Ha-ha, nice idea, Dr. Deus, it's all yours.
Our tense battle was coming to an end.
"What the hell are you guys doing!
Karuna tsked and rushed towards Ex.
Active limit, five seconds. Overboost is on.
Flames erupted from the soles of Xu's feet and exploded like a jet blast, plunging towards Karuna.
''Uh-oh!''
"Weaaaahhhh!
Power and strength collide with each other as best they can.
The one who flew off was Ex.
It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.
The first is goo, rock-paper-scissors, and pom-poms.
"Pon.
And the fight between me and Dr. Deus was settled.
'Ahhh, hello, Makina? I need you to get over here right away. The coordinates are 372 in D. Yes, that's right, the location of the Ten Gorokai. Huh? You don't want to get anywhere near Takumi? Do you hear 'You're well aware, you're right'? I don't know what you're talking about.
Dr. Deus is talking to a machine he's never seen before.
It's a palm-sized, thin, board-like object with buttons with numbers on them. It could be some kind of southern communications device.
It's all right. Takumi and I have made our peace. Just hurry up and get here, I can't carry Aix through a complete shutdown by myself. Oh, hey, don't hang up!
It looks like she's been in contact with Makina, but it looks like she's been cut off.
Ex, who was overheated and unable to move, and Karuna, who had finished the fight, were sitting side by side in the shade of a tree some distance away, close together.
From the occasional laughter that could be heard, it seems that through the fierce battle, a friendship had developed on the other side as well.
'Pick me up, are you coming?'
It's like 50-50 (Fifty-Fifty). Makina seems to think she'll be destroyed when she sees you.
Why did that happen?
I have no recollection of it at all.
'Well, you'll have to talk to me until Makina gets here. The game was won by me.
'For the first time in my life I've lost a rock-paper-scissors game. I can't read your thoughts like that. Your calculations are just crazy.
Dr. Deus self-destructs by reading too much into it on his own.
I didn't even think about it, and I got the choke out, and I won.
'First of all, who are you working on me for? Who the hell do you work for?
'Hmm, I don't mean to hide it, but I don't know who really hired me. The person who asked me to come is a royal family with considerable power in the South City, but he was only asked to do so as well.
You're pretty limited in your ability to commission such royalty.
Yeah. My guess from this is that it was almost certainly a Lucian authority who asked for it. They sent me a permit to bring a firearm to this continent.
I knew it.
That's what I thought.
Well, I'm not really interested in what you asked for, but I am interested in Takumi. The idea of being the strongest in the universe was too tempting.
Yeah, you have to stop.
It's a waste of time.
"But Takumi, you are a wonder. If you were purely powerful, you would be able to surpass them one day with the power of science. But from you, I sense another kind of immense strength that I can't even write down.
What is that?
If you can, that's exactly what I want you to write down and tell me.
"That's why you should be careful. There's something big going on with you right now.
No, really, no more.
Don't move anything big or anything.
Takumi.
Takumi-san!
At that time, Sasha and Leia, who were worried about me, came rushing over to us.
It seems that Dr. Deus' complete domain blocking system has been deactivated.
''Huh! Takumi, what's going on? Who is the enemy? This evil-looking guy?
It's not Chloe's work! I do indeed feel an evil force!
Why not? Tak-kun, can we shake these guys?
The peaceful routine was not likely to return for the time being.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
It was the first time I had felt that.
The strong know the strong, and when I heard that, I thought it was none of my business.
