“Kitahara’s aircraft is destroyed!”

“Hooray!”

　That’s my Senpai!　Now, I’ll do my best too!

　My plane is heavy, slow, and has no weapons for close combat.

　In other words, if they get too close, it’s over.

“If that’s the case, just don’t let them get close!　Eat it!”

　I shoot out 12 bits and automatically attack Sakurako-chan.

　Whenever there is an opening, I’ll use the heavy particle cannon to shoot it.

　If Sakurako-chan’s fuselage is hit directly, it should be able to be destroyed in a single blow.

“—You’re here!”

　As expected of Sakurako-chan!　She dodged the bit’s attack and approached me.

　But that’s where the mines come in. If they get too close, they’ll fall prey, right?　Fufufu

“Aah mou!”

　Sakurako-chan noticed the mines and turned around.

　Hmm, as expected. It’s not easy to get caught, huh?

“Neither of us has anything to attack. ……”

　At this rate, the stalemate continued for a long time.

　I’d like to get some backup fire from senpai, but it looks like he got his hands full with Himari.

“If I don’t do something, I’m going to lose. I have to think of something to do. ……”

　Sakurako-chan’s oversized anti-ship sword can be used as many times as she wants, but all of my weapons have a set number of uses. In particular, the mines are already low on remaining ammunition.

“Right……!　Let’s dare to create an opening and lure Sakurako-chan into it. ……!”

　The mines and heavy particle cannons are going to hit her!

　I made the control of the bit a little coarse so that Sakurako-chan would not sense it.

　This should make it easier to jump in.

“–I’ve been waiting for you!”

　Sakurako-chan immediately rushed into the scene.

　I’ve already read her route.

　I’m not going to place mines there, but I’m going to hit her directly.

　Koi koi koi ……!　Here it comes!

　Fire the mines!

“—Eh!?”

　Sakurako-chan dodged to the right, as if she had read it. –That’s not good!

　I immediately set up my left hand shield.

　An oversized anti-ship sword was swung.

　Boom!

　The shield is badly damaged!

　Left arm badly damaged!

　Body damaged!

　That is bad. ……!　If I hadn’t had my shield up, I would have been cut in half.

“Strong ……!　As expected of Sakurako-chan. ……!”

　I’ve never been defeated by this person.

I’m better at everything: studying, sports, cooking, makeup, popularity.

　But strangely enough, I don’t feel like I’ve won.

　Maybe it was because it seemed like she was losing on purpose?

　But now it’s different.

　Sakurako-chan is doing everything in her power to stop her senpai.

　If I can beat this Sakurako-chan, I’ll be better than her!

　Sakurako-chan is coming around from the left hand side.

　She’s going to attack from the side without weapons. It’s a classic battle strategy.

　Naturally, I scatter mines in that direction.

　Sakurako-chan has read this. This time, she came around behind me.

　But I’ve read it, too. The mines have already been placed there.

　But, as expected of Sakurako-chan, she successfully avoids it by jumping.

“—I’ve been reading that, too, you know?　Because we’re sisters.”

　Sakurako-chan is caught by the mines that were set in the air. I did it!

“Sakurako’s right arm is badly damaged!”

“Good job, Shino!”

　Sakurako-chan is angry.

　 She’s rushing at me and swinging her sword at me.

“Muu!” I can easily imagine her cheeks puffed up.

“If you lose your cool, you lose.　Sakurako-chan.”

　I unleash a well-aimed heavy particle cannon.

Dooooooooooooooooo!

　A flutter. Incredibly, Sakurako-chan easily avoided it.

　It was as if she knew I was coming.

“—–I’m an actress. Shino.”

　I felt as if she had told me that.

　I had to hurry up and get some distance!

　I tried to back away, but then I realized that I made a mistake.

　The mines are in the way and I can’t move!

　What a stupid child I am!　I’ve blocked the path of retreat with my own mines!

“I’ve won. Iei”

　As if to say so, Sakurako-chan is approaching.

“I’m not going to let you win, Sakurako-chan!”

　Come!　It’s a match!

　Sakurako-chan swung her sword.

　–Now!

　I use my bit to attack the surrounding mines.

　Sakurako-chan and I are caught in the explosion.

　We’re both still alive, but we’re both stiff from the impact of the explosion.

“Senpai!　Please do the rest!”

　I smashed the transparent panel and pressed the self-destruct switch.

　Shino’s plane, Liberte is badly damaged!

　Sakurako’s Kirschblutte is badly damaged!

　If I just attract them and blow myself up normally, they will escape.

　It was a success because of the rigidity caused by the mines.

“It’s a …… draw, Sakurako-chan.”

　Now all we have to do is pray for victory for senpai.

　…… but a little bit of me is rooting for Himari-chan.
