I Reincarnated as Just a Mob in an Eroge World, but the Heroines Are Swarming Me - Episode 52
Episode 52
“…Ugh…!”
My body felt heavy. It refused to move. But none of that mattered. I staggered to my feet.
The boss glared at me with bloodshot eyes and also stood up.
Still standing. Coming at me again.
“You… won’t escape anymore.”
The boss paused for a moment, as if swallowing something. Then, its body began to swell.
I tensed up, bracing myself.
“Take this…! ”
In the next instant, the boss opened its massive mouth wide and unleashed an enormous energy blast of magic.
The shockwave surged toward me in an instant.
“Ughhhh!”
The impact hurled me through the air, slamming me into the ground. A force so overwhelming it felt like my entire body would shatter. My consciousness began to fade.
My mind was foggy. Dragging my bl00d-soaked body, I slowly rose again. From a distance, I could vaguely see the boss’ astonished expression.
“Why… do you keep standing…? ”
I thought I heard its voice ask.
I no longer understood what it was saying.
But somehow, I could still clench my fists.
Without thinking, I charged at the boss. My body moved on its own, almost entirely detached from my fading consciousness.
“You bastard!”
“UOOOOOOOHHHH!!”
Summoning the last of my strength, I dodged the boss’ attacks and drove my fist into it. Once, twice, three times. Even as it refused to fall, I relentlessly pounded it with punch after punch.
I targeted the areas where its scales had already been torn off, striking with everything I had.
My magic power was gone. I was hitting it with nothing but raw determination and pure willpower. My fists slammed into it again and again, over and over.
“…This… ends now!”
As the boss let out a voiceless scream, I delivered my final blow.
Its massive body slowly crumbled and collapsed, ceasing all movement.
“Hah… hah…”
Every inch of my body was in pain. But I had won.
As I lay there, unable to move, voices reached my ears.
“Kill him…!”
“Kill that man right now!”
The remaining Kyōjūs were screaming commands in a panic.
I had no strength left to resist.
I closed my eyes, preparing to face the death that was surely approaching.
But at that moment, a gentle magic enveloped the area. The Kyōjūs’ shrieks turned into cries of terror.
“Takigawa!”
I heard someone call my name.
Kirisaki.
Opening my eyes weakly, I saw Kirisaki holding me in her arms.
“…This is all my fault… I’m so sorry, Takigawa…! If only I’d come sooner, this wouldn’t have happened…!”
Her voice, usually calm and composed, was trembling with pain and regret. Supporting my battered body, she looked as though she was barely holding back tears. Kirisaki, who almost never showed her emotions, was doing all this for me…
…Don’t make that face. No, it’s my fault you’re making that face…
I whispered it in my mind, though I couldn’t speak. The pain and exhaustion made the world seem distant.
“…Takigawa… please, open your eyes…!”
Her voice shook as she called to me. Her hand touched my cheek, her warmth reaching me. Her desperate attempts to pull me back felt like a plea from the depths of her heart.
…It’s okay, Kirisaki… I’m still…
That’s what I wanted to tell her. But my body was too heavy, and my consciousness continued to fade.
The last thing I saw was Kirisaki’s face. Her expression was etched into my memory before my vision finally succumbed to darkness.
…Is this the end…?
Well, I guess it’s all my fault anyway.
And with that thought, my consciousness completely vanished.
