Editing Kami-sama no Inai Nichiyoubi:Volume7 Chapter1 (section)

===Part I===

&nbsp;

The court, which had been solemn despite its odd shape, revealed its true self with every passing second.. The walls and floor cracked open to reveal a cut-out human form, and the dragons on the candlestick flapped the earth with flame in their mouths. Chairs rose up, no longer allowing humans to sit on them, and tables ran for their supper. The nightmarish, deformed army seemed to be a rebellion of oppressed furniture.

Ai and Alice ran through the gap like a whirlwind.

"Miss Dee!"

The adults were fighting the monsters in the middle of the hall, piling up the broken furniture that had stopped forming as they formed a circle. Ai and Alice backed each other up as they slipped past Madame and ran up the steps of the hall.

"Miss Dee!"

Dee was shriveled in the middle of the adults as though she was participating in a disaster drill.

"Ai!"

With a shudder, Dee popped out from under the desk and hugged Ai tightly.

"Thank goodness! Thank goodness! And Alice too! Thank goodness both of you are alright!"

"M-Miss Dee, it hurts."

"Oops, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. But I'm so glad…"

"Leave the talk for later!"

Julie, wrestling with a long bench , shouted.

"…I have some questions right now…but I’ll be patient for now…"

His eyes shone darkly for some reason as he stared coldly at Alice.

"Hahahahaha! Come, you monsters! I'll make you into some fine sized firewood!"

Around them, Bendo and the other old politicians were grabbing weapons from wherever they could find "Hah!" "Take this!" they yelled away, showing that experience still counts.

The battle was a stalemate.

"…How dare you do this…?"

But only for now.

"How dare you ruin…everything…you ruined… my precious trial court…"

Madame Express Legion's Hive.

The monster-killing monster was livid.

In the center of the hall, a girl in a maid's uniform was trembling with rage. Her young face was tinged with dark colors, and her hair fluttered in the air like a white snake. Her lips were lifted in the shape of a smile, which eventually tore the edges of her lips into a huge one.

"Come on, iron bugs! Suppress them now!"

As soon as the order was given, more of these deformed shapes appeared from the ceiling. These things called the iron bugs were unlike the other furniture, and were soldiers specialized for combat.

A thousand-bladed mantis crawled about, and beetles with cannon as their horn pointed their dark muzzle at us. The court's ban on weapons was broken at this moment.

But the same could be said for the opponent.

"You've got some good stuff here."

Alice  spread his arms wide and grabbed two iron bugs, the purpose of his gesture unknown to both his allies and his enemies.

"? Fire!"

Madame commanded, ignoring the fates of the two iron bugs. The rest of the bugs fired their heavy weapons all over their bodies without any concern for their allies. Hundreds of rounds, small and large, and ten kilograms of killing intent threatened Alice.

"I'll be borrowing these."

At the center of it all, Alice merely laughed it off as though he was caught in a drizzle, knocked over the two iron bugs next to him, and ripped off the right and left arms.

The torn right arm was an automatic shotgun.

The torn left arm was a seven-millimeter chain gun.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! The sounds that echoed did not resemble gunshots, but instead sounded like water splashed onto oil as the bullets were released into the air.

The space was filled with ripples. Each ripple created by the collision of the bullets was overwhelmed by a new ripple before it could spread. The killing intent of the iron bugs was like a raging torrential downpour, disrupting the narrow space into shreds.

But just as no storm could ever reach the bottom of a lake,

Not a single bullet touched a human life.

<i>Klang!</i>

"Buzzer Beater."

Alice said, dumping the empty gun into a pile of bullets.

"I'm not gonna let those guns do their job."

"G-grrrrrrrr…"

"Ai, do it now!"

Ai did not need to be told.

In an instant, Ai was behind Madame, and twisted the latter’s arms.

"Please surrender!"

"What? When did you?"

"Please surrender and have these monsters back down!"

Ai exerted more strength in her arm locks.

"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts, Master Ai, it hurts! How cruel!"

Madame pleaded with the expression of a young child, and Ai was practically defenseless against that..

"Th-then please stop them soon! If not—"

"What will you do then!? Will you break my arms? Are you saying that you will do such a cruel thing, Master Ai? You are not human!"

It was then that Ai realized she was going to break someone else’s arms, and she was taken aback.  She had a further look at Madame’s delicate arms, and was rattled further. It was as easy to break her arms as it would be to break a baby’s, but it was very difficult for Ai to break a baby’s arms.

"It hurts! It hurts! My arms are breaking! Maybe they are! Please, Master Ai! Please be a little gentle …"

Right when Ai became tentative and accidentally eased up,

"Enough with the lousy act."

Dee ran out of the safe zone (under the table).

"Ai, don't be fooled by the stupid words."

Dee stood in front of Madame and looked down at the latter arrogantly.

"Ku…"

Madame frowned in disgust, and Dee simply ignored her and continued with a proposal.

"Now, Madame, let's negotiate."

"Negotiate?"

Madame, and everyone else, was surprised by these words.

"…Did I mishear you, Master Dee? I thought negotiations have already broken down…"

"Tch tch tch, you don't understand, Madame. Look, negotiations don't end just because they break down. How about we negotiate on the basis of the breakdown?"

"What do you mean…?"

"Let’s sort things out."

She raised her index finger.

"Madame, your goal was to ‘seal the black surface and Alice’, and this was confirmed through prior negotiations with Alice. However, Alice had a change of heart and there was strong opposition from the public, so the deal was reversed."

"Yeah, …."

Madame groaned, gritting her teeth. This showed Madame too was a victim. She was merely acting according to the deal she had made with Alice.

"But this is not a good situation for either of us. We don't want to go to war, and neither do you, Madame. So, Madame, you have to stop."

"What…does that mean?"

"In more ways than one."

Dee smiled.

"Hey Madame, what can I do to get you to stop? <b>If you say that breaking your arms won’t get you to stop, and that you won’t stop until your heart gets ripped out, we’ll be more than glad to oblige.</b>"

Dee’s smile had a tinge of mercy.

Yes, if you need to be forced to stop, we’ll be glad to use that force."

"…You are really a terrifying person …?"

It was then that for the first time, Madame seemed to realize how horrifying the person before her was.

"Are you saying you shall kill me?"

"Yes."

"……But that will be impossible."

Madame hesitated for a moment.

"You know what I mean, Dee Engsy. We are no longer at a point where we can be stopped by ‘so what’."

She sneered.

"…So what about the limbs? And what about the heart?What's wrong with your limbs? What's wrong with your heart?

<i>Crack.</i>

There was a very unpleasant sound in Ai's arms.

"Heh?"

That was not all.

<i>Crack crack crack crack crack crack crack.</i>

"Awawawawa.."

"What about the body? What about the mind ahhhhhh?

"Madame, wait, don't run away!"

Madame's body disintegrated in Ai's arms. Her arms broke, her intestines spilled out to reveal the contents of a doll’s stomach, and finally, even the head fell.

<i>"Ahahahahahahahahaha!"</i>

With a pop, Madame's head bounced down the stairs like a ball falling from a child's hand.

<i>"Ufufufufufufufufufufufufu!"</i>

She ended up in the middle of the hall, atop the pile of iron bugs that Alice had smashed.

Like a broken doll being abandoned, Madame too landed atop the pile.

And then the head started to laugh.

<i>"Gachigachigachigachigachigachi!"</i>

"What!?"

Madame laughed. She gnawed at the broken furniture and opened her mouth to laugh out loud. The broken junk was further disintegrated, and then devoured. Nobody knew whether it was some ability or a divine curse, but once the junk passed through her throat, it instantly became her flesh and blood. The lid of the piggy bank became her esophagus, and the broken candlestick became her spine. Internal organs, muscles, torso, limbs, Madame's body was rebuilt in no time.

<i>"Fushhhhhhhhhhh!"</i>

It was a giant made of junk.

<i>"—If you wish to stop me by ripping my heart out, by all means."</i>

It was more than five times taller than Ai. This giant that was formed through the heap of junk probably weighed at least 50 times that of Ai.

<i>"Commmeeeee, ddddooo yoooouurrr bbeeeessst ttoooo riiipppp myyyy hhheeaaarrrtttt oooouuuuttttt! That is, if I still have one!!!!!"</i>

The junk giant laughed as it shook its entire body. There were fangs all over its body, and mouths.

<i>"Take this!"</i>

Madame simply shook her fist, which she had made by blending together the judge's seat, the defense attorney's seat, and the defendant's seat.

Even in her sleep, Ai could dodge this blow from Madame, who was at this point huge and slow.

But it was a different matter for the people around her.

<i>No!</i> A moment later, Alice’s eyes were screaming.

Ai spread her hands in front of the fist. She did not think she could withstand the attack.

However, she might be able to deflect it.

She had no idea what would happen to her after that.

Still, Ai stood before the destruction.
