Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai

Chapter 244.2 - Traitor III

By a light arrow.

「No need to listen to him anymore, Big Brother. That cell phone is a trap.」

Sakura… Didn't seem to be controlled by Takanashi's 『Idea Code』.

This girl shot without hesitation.

She destroyed valuable physical evidence that could reveal the truth with a very personal and emotional assumption. I never expected her to act so impulsively; even I couldn't predict it. And thanks to her surprisingly superhuman archery skills, she managed to bypass Rem's guards and hit her target precisely.

「Breaking the evidence means you must have something to feel guilty about!」

「Hmph, I don't know what kind of curse you've set, but I won't fall for it. Don't be deceived by him, Big Brother.」

「…Ah, that's right. She always pull everyone into his own pace like that.」

Tch, losing the ace of the evidence video makes negotiation and persuasion impossible. In the current situation, I can only be seen as trying to cover up by saying absurd lies for my own protection.

I turned around, looking at my classmates.

Their expressions were filled with anger, fear as if they were staring at some unknown monster.

But what kind of face did I make right now?

「I defeated Yamata no Orochi, after all. I worked so hard for everyone. In the end, I even risked my own life to destroy its core.」

Even I have no idea what kind of complexion I had right now.

I was trying to stay calm and think things through to find the best solution to get out of this worst predicament, but… inside, a whirlwind of emotions was swirling and turning into a chaotic mess.

I felt like I could cry at any moment, but I also wanted to scream in anger.

「I seriously thought about the plan to escape together and vowed to the gods that I would make it a success.」

I fell into Takanashi's trap, got framed with false charges, and instantly lost everyone's trust.

Properly speaking, this was a truly hopeless situation.

I thought they were comrades I could entrust my life to. After the defeat of Yamata no Orochi, I had come to feel that way.

「I am not the traitor. The true traitor is Takanashi Kotori! Please, trust me!」

「―― Give it up, Momokawa. You've betrayed everyone's trust. No one is going to trust you anymore.」

Only Souma-kun's cold voice resounded in the entrance.

And then, that answer was the consensus of Class 2-7.

None of them said that they trust me――

「WAIT, MOMOKAWA! I TRUST YOU!」

「… Randou-san.」

「It's not like the traitor is really Momokawa! And despite relying on him, you guys are shameless folks who easily abandoned him with a flip of hand.」

Everyone in the class was really surprised by her angry remarks rather, I might be the most shocked one.

In this situation, I must say, what reason was there for anyone to believe my side of the story?

「I believe in Momokawa! And Takanashi is the suspicious one!」

Randou-san, I know that you're a dullard, but I had no idea that you're this stupid.

Thank you, Randou-san. I love you.

「حدد إحداثياتالبداية―― Activate the teleportation magic」

The moment I muttered so, the teleportation circle in the entrance started glowing brightly.

The pronunciation was weird, but it was recognized properly by the magic circle. By the way, what I said was 『Activate』, 『Coordinate』, 『Select』.

Everything was taught by Yamajun.

「!?」

「Surprised eh, Takanashi? I can use this teleportation magic too.」

I didn't miss the moment when Takanashi wore a shocked face when I activated the teleportation circle with ancient language.

As if she said "How did you?".

Well, that was natural. She must've thought that I couldn't decipher ancient language, that's why she allowed me to run all the way till the entrance.

You did say 「I banished Tendou-kun」 with your hologram but I knew that was half of the truth.

Takanashi was indeed the one who had banished Tendou-kun, but that meant I could do the same thing.

Takanashi, you might have been hiding this fact for so long, but did you know that this teleportation actually has many other functions?

「Randou-san, if you really trust me, I want you to go with me.」

Having made up her mind, Randou-san stepped forward immediately.

「Oi, Kyouko!」

「Wait a second!」

The one who called out to her was her friend, JuryMary combi.

「Don't stop me, Juri, Mari. I'll go with Momokawa.」

「Are you insane!?」

「Yes. You remember how we almost died a while ago, right!?」

「I choose to place my trust in Momokawa. At least it's much better than actually staying if it turns out that Takanashi is really the culprit.」

「Calm down, Kyouko. do you understand what you're saying now?」

「What are you going to do if Momokawa is the culprit instead!?」

「In that case, I can only curse my bad luck. I mean, the same goes for you guys, too, you know? If Takanashi turns out to be the culprit, then that means she'll try to kill you too. You've got to be really careful too, you know?」 ṙἈ₦ꝋ𝖇ΕS

But when Randou-san rebutted, now it was JuryMary who looked confused, akin to a resigned face instead.

Maybe they already knew, after being friends for so long,g that Randou-san wouldn't back down no matter what in this kind of situation.

Randou-san didn't say anything and walked to my side.

「Anyone else wants to go with me? If possible, I want to take Mei-chan too, but…」

「DON'T SCREW WITH ME, I WON'T LET YOU GO!」

Souma-kun finally readied his sword, exuding an intense determination to not let me escape.

「Absolutely do not let him escape! If we let him go here, he'll come back for revenge!」

The voices of the classmates stirred with unease upon hearing Asuna's cry, filled with hatred.

「T-That sounds really bad indeed.」

「Maybe it'll be for the best if we catch him, right?」

「Yup, if Momokawa is really the criminal, he might curse us to death later.」

Those Totem Pole Trio bastards apparently really thought that I was going to get my revenge!

They're being too carefree despite being small fry.

Well, they might feel threatened since the culprit poisoned everyone.

To begin with, I didn't think my words alone were enough to convince them.

「REM, DO IT!」

「BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!」

「KISHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!」

Minotaurs Rem raised a war cry and started charging towards my classmates, who tried to drag me out from the teleportation magic circle.

Almost at the same time, Arachne Rem unleashed a full burst of spider webs to bin everyone's feet.

Now that it was clear that the only one I had to kill was Takanashi, none of Rems except minotaurs were holding a shield.

Since Arachne Rem's thread was her most reliable weapon, she wasn't equipped with any weapon. In exchange, she became the luggage carrier.

「Stop resisting already, Momokwa-kun! We can still talk about this!」

Class Rep shouted loudly during the confrontation between Rems and our classmates.

My bad, Class Rep. As long as I don't stop everyone, there was no room for negotiation.

Not to mention that my position was now in jeopardy after Sakura destroyed my cell phone that contained the important evidence.

In the first place, Takanashi was the worst traitor who tried to poison all of our classmates to death; the stage for discussion had long since passed.

No need for discussion; either she died or I died. This was a battle to the death between shaman and sage.

「HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!」

Dark Knight Rem's head, I mean, her helmet got decapitated along with a sharp sound.

As expected, she couldn't stop Souma-kun, who was equipped with a sword.

Dark Knight Rem was equipped with a great sword and a tower shield that could barely stop Souma-kun for a dozen seconds.

But since Rem used living armor as her base, she could move just fine even after losing her hea— I mean helmet.

Yup, time's up.

「Well then everyone, you better be very careful. Because not even I know where I'm going to be teleported this time. You surely don't want to accidentally get teleported with me, right?」

The teleportation magic circle shone even brighter before it got activated.

Hearing that, the other classmates aside, even Souma-kun hesitated to step forward.

「YOU CANNOT ESCAPE MOMOKAWA! I'LL TAKE YOU DO――」

「ALFA!」

Alfa leapt out to block Sakura.

Yes, Alfa, who was made from a boss raptor, had a conspicuously red fuselage, but she wasn't the preferred method to escape from this situation.

「KUH, YOU LITTLE!」

Against Alfa, who leapt while raising a ferocious warcry, even Sakura was forced to change her target to Alfa.

On the side, both Asuna and Souma-kun also held their sword aloft.

Though Alfa was cut down in no time―― She bought enough time for me.

「DAMMIT, WAIT MOMOKAWA!」

Dazzling radiance filled the entrance as I finished the transfer process.

Souma-kun, who killed Alfa in no time,  glared angrily at me, but I ignored him.

The one I was glaring at was the one who fell as low as becoming the pawn of the god on top of knowing everything, the foolish 『Sage』, Takanashi Kotori.

「I shall return. I'll return and save Mei-chan and everyone.」

「….」

Takanashi had also glared back at me amidst the fluttering lights.

Her round eyes didn't just contain pure anger like Souma-kun.

Her poisoning plan had failed after she got too elated, resulting in her failure to capture me.

Surely, no one might trust me in this kind of situation, but the same could be said for her. How many people were going to trust her now?

Do you think everyone is gonna trust your innocent act for now?

Takanashi, you will never get any repose again, ever.

Now you may tremble in fear, waiting for that day to come.

「――WASH YOUR NECK TAKANASHI KOTORI, FOR I WILL CURSE YOU TO DEATH」
