"Don't worry, Lio! Everything's fine now!" Leah chimed in as her translucent shield that had been given to her by Bica before the start of the mission materialized, and the group all advanced with battle poses. "Fight along with us!!"

"Right!!"

Thus, Ophiel, Bica, Leah and Harvey all backed up Liohime as they prepared to take on their opponents with the other groups scoping out the chaos.

Without wasting any time, Poly from the Piglet Squad leaped over the protective outer circle with incredible strength, and with the warhammer brandished inside the grasp of both hands, she swung downwards at Liohime Kitagami's head, hoping to kill him instantly.

He has reinforcements now! she thought with disdain. This is bad! I gotta end this now!

Leah, with one of the bravest decisions that she had ever made in her life, pushed Liohime out of her range and took over his position as her translucent glowing shield collided with Poly's hammer, and the Polar Town group quickly stepped back with a quick reaction time while the impact pushed the duo away from each other.

"W-We don't really have a plan here, but protect Lio in any way you can!" cried Leah with a nervous tone, and seeing her courageous stance despite her trembling voice, the other instantly kicked into a different gear as they moved into action, each with a different plan that was bonded with one goal.

Poly side-eyed the scene that unfolded, and stared back at Leah who swallowed hard and remained in her way.

"I-I won't let you pass, you know, so d-don't even think about it."

"Hey, are you seriously courting death? I'll kill you in an instant. It's clear to see that you're not a good fighter, so stop acting as if you're such a big shot for simply getting one lucky parry."

Although knowing that Liohime was not being solely defended by her right now and that she could simply jump into taking him down, she noticed Leah moving slowly towards her with a slight crouch and feet that were ready to kick off the ground at any moment, and chuckled with surprise.

"Alright then, so you've already gotten mentally prepared to chase me if I try to go after your ace. Fine. A bitch with big tits like you shouldn't even be here in the first place, but I'll let you entertain me for a bit," she remarked, and Leah frowned at that statement.

"H-Hey, it's not my fault, okay!? The author would rather write a scene of me fighting than me actually doing my real job for some reason!"

Meanwhile, Koro did not falter with the spear in her hand that she picked up and pounced towards Liohime with Melty and several others by her side, ready to hurl it into him. But within a split second, she anticipated a stray kick from another person and blocked it, getting redirected away from her companions while the young man scratched his cheek and closed in on her.

"I'm impressed. That reaction time of yours is fucking deadly, holy shit."

"...Hmph."

--Harvey singled out Koro, taking her off of the board as he was almost immediately convinced that she was one of the strongest of her entire group just by looking at her menacing appearance.

Ugh, if Jolene was here, she would have continued the allegations that I'm a woman beater for some reason, he concluded with a disgruntled sigh. Speaking of which, where the fuck even is she?

There was no way that Jolene would die in this place, he was convinced of that. After all, she was pretty much the strongest Shinigami Soldier out of them all in Polar Town, for obvious reasons.

Still he couldn't help but feel just a bit concerned that she was nowhere to be found.

Shit, my mind is straying again, I gotta focus on what's in front of me.

There was absolutely no time for a lack of focus, not when they were at the last hurdle of the mission.

From here on out, he had to fight with everything he had, even if she was just the Drugs-For-Hire Shinigami Soldier.

Still, this girl is fucking hot, god damn.

He finally spoke up as they both came to a standstill.

"Hey, wanna fu-"

"I'm into women."

".....Seriously? N-No, you must also be into men-"

"I'm only into women."

"...Not even a little bit bisexu-"

"Women. Only."

Greatest airball of all time.

Harvey gazed upwards with one of the most expressionless gazes that you could ever think of, and then his eyes lowered as he groaned with frustration.

"Why are all of the best looking girls into other girls?" he muttered under his breath as his main weapon began to materialise from his storage ring. "It's like looking at treasure that I'll never enjoy."

He quickly pulled out his rifle, just as Koro blitzed towards him, and he pulled the trigger.

Underestimating her reaction time once again, he could only watch in shock as she sidestepped the array of bullets that followed, and then stiffened up as she slammed his gun onto the ground beside him and cracked it with her own leg weight.

"J-Just how strong are-!?" he started but could not finish as Koro instantly began to slowly choke him out.

With such a powerful force on his neck, he side-eyed his weapon and tried to reach for it, but it was out of his reach.

In only a matter of moments, it could be all over for him.

Then….

"Y-Yeah…keep…choking me out…like that, my love..."

Oh brother.

"HK!"

With such a sudden statement like that, Koro instinctively lightened her grasp on him as a disgusted expression flashed across her face, but that one sudden change was enough for Harvey.

"[Enter: Conda]."

All Koro could feel was a massive impact that flung her into nearby debris as some of her bones were fractured in an instant.

"W…Wha…" she mumbled, as her shaken up body tried to get up, and she weakly looked on at the massive serpent that slithered next to Harvey.

"Nice," he whispered to himself. "Let's finish this, shall we?"
