It was Shia who was cursing while her pure white miniskirt was flapping.

Her usual innocent smile couldn’t be seen on her face. She looked bitter due to her own blunder and the demonic hand that was cornering herself exactly at this time. The rabbit ears she was proud of were also twitching around busily *piko piko* in vigilance to the surrounding.

Shia dodged trash can and piping lightly like an acrobat while rushing through the narrow alley between buildings.

She looked like someone who was attempting to escape desperately……

No, in reality, unbelievably, at present Shia was being forced to escape.

There was no existence that could become a threat to Shia who was in the same inhuman group like Hajime and others. It was to the degree that all who knew Shia dubbed her as 「Real certain bugged character」.

She could pluck fired normal bullet from the air, on top of that recently she would say 「Please watch this Hajime-san! I finally mastered it!」 while perceiving railgun bullet by sight and dodged it like an agent from the Matr○x. It caused Hajime to let out a bizarre groan 「Uboa」.

Such bugged rabbit was being forced to escape one-sidedly. The existence that forced her to do so was……

「Fo, found heeer! Rabbit eared missyyyyy!」

「Hii!?」

Carrying a backpack on their back, clad in T-shirt that had the sentence 「This is my life」 skillfully written on it, blazing eye glint peeking out from between the long hair, while that hand was holding a solid looking camera――the “Akiba warrior”, was right there.

Just a bit before Shia could rush out from the back alley, the door of a building’s rear entrance was slammed open. The young Akiba warrior who appeared from there made Shia spontaneously screamed pathetically.

That was natural. After all just a moment ago Shia’s rabbit ears detected that his presence was at the other side of the building. And yet, within an instant, right after she diverted her attention the young man appeared before her eyes.

‘This is earth isn’t it!? The peaceful country, Japan isn’t it!?’ Shia made a tsukkomi with a scream inside her heart.

The Akiba warrior young man faced Shia whose face was shuddering and raised his camera. Then he suddenly lowered his head in a flash.

「Ple, please let me take a photo!!」

「I told you already no-!」

Shia replied reflexively.

However, the young man was completely not discouraged! He didn’t draw back! He didn’t flinch! He didn’t look back! 「E, even so please-!」, even though he was stammering slightly, he bowed his head even lower with a posture that strangely radiated a strong will.

Seeing that there would be no end to it, Shia jumped to the building’s wall and kicked on it to jump over the young man’s head. She came out on a street somewhere.

Then, it seemed that Shia’s angry yell just now got heard, the bunch who were chasing after Shia before this――the group of warrior and gentleman was gathering in drove.

「Ra, rabbit ear-san-, please, allow us to take a pictureee!」

「One shot, just one shot is fine, so-」

「Tha, that gaze, please turn it over here!」

「Is it okay to request a pose? I, if possible please take a gun finger pose. Also, can you make the rabbit ears to look a bit wilting? Or rather, I, I have a uniform right here, i, is it okay to ask you to change into it?」

In the blink of eye Shia was surrounded by warriors and gentlemen. The youngest of them were at their teen while the oldest of them were at their 60. Swiftly a formation was formed with praiseworthy skillfulness. On top of that, there were even curious onlookers gathering thinking that there was some kind of event, finally even a crowd was starting to form.

「Uu, just what are you all saying. Even though there are also people wearing cat ears or dog ears. Even someone like the rabbit eared maid-san just now, somehow she was making an amazing movement, and yet why is it only me……. What Hajime-san said that 『Akiba is rough』 is completely right on the mark desuu」

Shia’s face contorted looking like she was going to cry. Finally her surrounding was filled with Akiba’s warriors, gentlemen, and ladies. They were eagerly aiming for the photo timing while waiting for Shia’s permission.

By the way, the rabbit eared maid-san Shia mentioned. Shia only saw her from afar but……

When the maid was doing her job attracting customer on the street, it seemed she discovered the crime of taking picture sneakily. The rabbit-eared maid-san broke into a run with terrific speed and in the blink of eye she subdued the criminal who was escaping like a startled hare while yelling some kind of technique name 「Lightspeed Triden○ Tackle!」.

Shia saw a hallucination. There was the image of a trident, overlapping on the hand that the rabbit eared maid-san stretched out.

Setting that aside.

About why the situation became like this, that was simply caused by Shia’s painful blunder.

For Shia who had lived as a discriminated race for a long time, girl wearing animal ears by their own accord was a terribly rare existence. No, someone like Yue often performed “Yue-nyan, meow”, but that person was strange like that in various things, so setting that aside……

Anyway, such girl was an existence that drew in her gaze and attention very much.

That must be why. In the street that was already filled to the brim with people, Shia whose attentiveness was distracted bumped with another person, and in that instance her ear cuffs got caught on something and fell off.

Furthermore, she then acted in a way that was common for a panicked person.

When she tried to pick the ear cuffs in panic, her toes inadvertently kicked it away. That was her bitter blunder number two.

Unluckily, the ear cuffs that were tumbling away on the ground got bounced away like a pinball by the crowd and it flew away into the gutter at the side road with splendid trajectory that would make any commentator to yell 「GOAL!!」.

Shia tried to check inside the gutter in a flustered state but……

If the ear cuffs were gone, naturally, it became exposed.

Yes, Shia’s rabbit ears, and above all else, her beautiful look.

The beautiful long hair that reminded one of the pale blue moonlight, the beautiful face that would make foreign superstar to run away with their tail between their legs, the perfect body proportion that would put any model to shame.

Even though she was a super beauty but the atmosphere she was clad in was gentle and overflowing with loveliness that would make anyone wanted to look at her forever.

Such lovely girl who was already like a miracle even at the best of times, was

Of all things, wearing twitching rabbit ears *piko piko*.

At this occasion, the matter of the rabbit ears looking too realistic didn’t worth any consideration. How was it moving, how their movement was just too natural……such tsukkomi was buried deep at the bottom of everyone’s heart.

Because, if they were a man, no, even if they were of the same gender, if they were someone who loved Akiba then they could only have their heart gotten stolen away!

The rest was inevitable. The warriors, gentlemen, ladies, and wizards of Akiba crowded like hyenas.

If they acted rudely toward Shia here, if they acted forcefully toward her, Shia would mercilessly punch them flying and disappeared right away.

However, as expected from them. They properly bowed their head and asked for permission before taking picture, and even though they were throwing their demand that was filled to the brim with their zeal without any reservation, they didn’t force or threaten their target.

In the first place it was also Shia’s fault for committing the blunder of losing her artifact even after Hajime’s warning that it would cause a commotion. Conversely she was unable to bulldoze her way through them who were acting like this.

And so, she immediately ran away from the town of Akiba but……

They weren’t that soft.

They cornered Shia, just like how in the past the craftsmen of Heiligh Kingdom cornered Hajime using only their passion as their weapon!

With the astounding tracking ability and physical ability and coordination that was unthinkable to be carried out by fellows who only had met for the first time that made Shia couldn’t help to make a tsukkomi ‘Are you guys really just human!?’, they approached her and earnestly begged for their request to be granted.

It was truly a situation of “Shia escape! But the enemy cut her off!”. (TN: I think this is reference to Dragon Quest, when you try to escape from battle but the escape failed. Sadly I don’t remember the exact notification message from the game English version)

She was unable to run away from the warriors, gentlemen, ladies, wizards, hunters, and searchers of Akiba!

Shia thought, 「The station is far away……」.

「Fuu, it can’t be helped. I don’t really want to do something absurd in Hajime-san’s world but……rather, it’s you all who are absurd! Surely just this much will be fine!」

When the voice of 「Please, let us take a photo!」 was starting to become a loud chorus, she let out a long sigh while starting to walk briskly.

The crowd surrounding Shia in a circle was stirred, but she didn’t pay it any mind and advanced straight ahead and then she stopped in front of a young man.

The young man muttered 「Eh, eh? M, me? Could it be, it comes? My springtime comes?」, but as expected Shia didn’t pay it any mind and she grasped the young man’s shoulders tightly.

The young man’s face blushed bright red from having both his shoulders grasped by a lovely rabbit-eared beautiful girl who couldn’t be found even in TV right in front of him. The surround became even more stirred!

The young man’s face was vaguely filled with expectation, however, Shia heartlessly presented such young man with words that would be a reward for a minority of human with unique nature.

「I’m sorry. Can I ask you to kneel for a bit?」

「Eh?」

「Can you, kneel for me?」

Shia smiled sweetly while strengthening her grip to just barely the limit. The young man was taken aback for a moment, but for some reason his face became even redder and he bent his knees while his breathing grew a bit rougher. It seemed this young man too was a part of that “minority human with unique nature”.

Shia stepped on the shoulder of such young man. The young man spontaneously almost looked up, but right after that a great pressure assaulted him and he instinctually lowered his head. He was like a knight swearing fealty toward the princess.

The surrounding people gulped wondering if they were going to start abnormal this and that in front of this many people. The camera lenses were sparkling here and there.

But, the next instant, they all became wide eyed.

「Well then everyone, forgive me for the commotion.」

Shia bowed her head shortly along with word of apology, then right after that she put her weight into the foot stepping on the shoulder of the young man, and then she made a big jump right after that.

The young man was surprised that the recoil from supporting the jump of a single person was shockingly lacking and he turned around with a gasp.

Then, over there was the figure of Shia making a single rotation in midair while making the bald head of an uncle at the back as her next stool.

Like that Shia was making the warrior, gentleman, lady, wizard, knight, hunter, searcher, shop owner, rabbit eared maid-san, and residence of Akiba as her stepping stool while rapidly advancing through the crowd.

「I, I’m used as stepping stooool!?」

「Thank you very much-」

「My heart is jumping pyon pyooonn」

Everyone was greatly excited seeing Shia hopping *pyon pyon* beautifully by stepping on the crowd.

The rabbit ears waving *pyoko pyoko* and the rabbit tail shaking *furi furi*, and then the brutally bouncing twin hills *barun barun* made the many people to be just one step away from madness. The warriors almost turned into berserkers!

Of course, Shia wasn’t doing this because she was aiming for it. It was something easy to leap over the whole crowd in a single leap.

However, such feat would be truly inhuman. Jumping by using people as stepping stools was just barely within the range of what could be processed as common sense.

Ignoring the noise of the people, Shia executed her last big jump along with a marvelous midair somersault that would make any gymnast went pale and landed lightly on the ground. And then without pause she dashed away like a startled hare.

The warriors who returned to their senses screamed 「HYA―HAA―!!」 and moved simultaneously. ……It seemed around half of them had transformed into berserker. Also, the rabbit eared maid-san was absurdly fast. The voice that said 「Please accept me as your pupil!」 seemed to reach Shia’s rabbit ears but, surely it was just her mishearing, no doubt about it.

「This time for suree, I will reach the station of Akiba no matter whaaat! Don’t look down on the rabbit who beat down even the god’s apostle!」

Surely the apostles of god too would cry in the shadow if they knew they got compared with the warriors of Akiba. Especially Erst-san.

Like that Shia sprinted through the last alley and caught sight of the station at the front. She resolved herself that she wouldn’t come to Akiba anymore without Hajime’s company and she relaxed her tension from the relieve――it was then.

「Hae?」

Shia’s foot that was stepping forward wandered in empty space. She unconsciously leaked out a stupid voice.

Losing the foothold where she should step on, her body shook forward while her gaze was turning. She saw a hole like a dark black hole there.

Just a moment before, there should definitely be a street there. There wasn’t anything like a manhole with shifted cover. Above all else, the insistence of her instinct showed strongly that it wasn’t just a hole.

Shia was going to fall into the hole, however, even while feeling shaken she used the power of “Air Force” that was built into her shoes with reaction speed that was worthy for a bugged character. She created a foothold to escape to the other side of the hole.

But,

「Wha-!? I’m getting sucked!?」

Yes, the expression of black hole really fitted to describe that hole.

It was like the “Severance Calamity” of Yue. The extraordinary sucking power that was difficult to oppose was completely capturing Shia!

「Kuh, Hajime-san-!」

The surprise attack that was too sudden couldn’t be handled by Shia whose battle instinct seemed to have grown slightly dull due to the peaceful days after the legendary decisive battle. At the end, she called the name of her beloved while getting sucked into the bottom of the darkness.

Silence returned to the alley where Shia vanished.

*Swirl*, there was only wind blowing vainly.

After a sensation of great weightlessness, Shia felt the sensation of hard ground under her butt.

Light filled her field of vision and she couldn’t see clearly. However, her excellent presence detection ability sensed the multiple presences surrounding her at the other side of the light.

「It seems I’m spared from getting instantly killed but……the smell of troublesome thing is strong.」

Shia smiled wryly while pouring magic power into the treasure warehouse worn on her left hand’s ring finger. At the same time she held up her palm horizontally and grasped. Vire Drucken that manifested at a superb timing settled into her hand.

It was an unexpected situation, the profound weight of her partner made Shia formed a fearless smile. The self-confidence to smash through any kind of situation and the resolve to reunite with Hajime and others without fail were dwelling inside her sparkling eyes.

Like that, Shia was on her guard while observing the situation. Before long the light melted into thin air and vanished.

‘Now then, what kind of fellow is committing the foolish act of kidnapping me’, thought Shia while looking around her with her gaze dangerously narrowed.

「Oo, is it a success!?」

「As expected from the chief royal magician-dono.」

「Look at that beauty. It’s like she is the goddess of the moon.」

There were around twenty people being noisy in surprise and delight. Those people were wearing clothes like priest clothes or armor like soldier.

Shia stayed silent while her observing gaze looked around. A single youth who looked slightly exhausted walked in front of her.

The youth was wearing a magnificent robe that was decorated with geometrical pattern with ultramarine and silver color, and he was holding a cane that was made from wood that looked like twisted oak. His braided long hair had vivid silver color. He was wearing a small pince-nez glasses and his long-slitted eyes gave intellectual impression. He was a terrific handsome guy of intellectual type.

Such intellectual handsome guy faced Shia and opened his mouth, however, he was stopped by a hand grabbing his shoulder from behind.

「Wait Louise. Don’t approach her carelessly. That woman is holding a weapon. We don’t know what she will do.」

Saying that, the one who directed wary and suspecting gaze to Shia was also a terrific handsome guy. Vivid golden hair and golden eyes. Sharp gaze that was like a predator and trained body that was obvious even from above the light armor he was wearing. He was a man that gave the impression of a wild lion.

「Ee~, is that so? I think she is a really cute girl though? I want to get near her right at this very second.」

「Just shut up Phil. The opinion of a playboy doesn’t hold any weight.」

「You say that Eric, but inside your heart you also think that she is cute right? Besides, look, Greg who usually make uninterested face toward girl is completely staring in fascination there.」

The person who appeared with frivolous comment was also a handsome guy as expected. He had slovenly appearance of greatly exposed chest while his finger was casually twiddling his wavy deep green hair.

In addition there was also a man with short black hair muscular build, but, as expected he was also a handsome guy of some kind of clichéd trope. He was staring intently at Shia.

Seeing them, Shia grew impatient and opened her mouth while lightly tapping Vire Drucken on her shoulder.

「Say, I don’t know what is your objective in kidnapping me, but if you aren’t hostile, then can you all explain the situation to me already? I want to go back home quickly……」

Then, perhaps feeling irked by that attitude of Shia, the golden haired man who really looked like someone with arrogant personality――the man called Eric squinted his eyes and he was about to say something.

This time it was the silver haired and delicate looking man called Louise who stopped him. He made a gentle smile while speaking out their objective.

「Pardon our rudeness. We called you my lady to this place because we wish for you to save the world. My deepest apologies for our selfish rudeness. But, please, I beg you to save our world.」

Like that, decisively following the template, the extremely clichéd word was said.

「――Hero-sama.」

Their words and gazes were earnestly filled with great expectation.

Seeing that, hearing that, Shia reflexively,

「Eh, I don’t wanna.」

Replied like that honestly.

A really painful atmosphere filled the place.

AN: Thank you very much for reading this every time.

Thank you very much too for the thoughts, opinions, and reports about misspelling and omitted words.

In Brutal Hero Shia arc, it’s basically only a story where Shia solve 90% of the problem all over the world (another world) with violence.

And so, there is also Shia arc that I had done before this, so I don’t intend to do this arc for long.

Although, I have previous offense regarding the advance notice of the number of chapter, so I won’t make any definitive statement!

Sorry if it become long.

Also, the chapter this time is the revised version of the side story I put in the activity report previously.
