Mother – Daughter’s Showdown 1

The Empress’s personal striker [La Grum] is a terribly large machine. Despite the fact that strikers are usually around 12 meters tall, the [La Grum]’s gigantic frame was over 15 meters. From Diaroze’s perspective, fighting it with [Ex-Caliburn] was like fighting a towering giant.

“Tsk!”

While daunting the shots from the Empress’s mega blaster rifle, Diaroze returned fire. A high-powered beam cuts through the darkness of space but it only disappears into emptiness even without the [La Grum] taking an evasive maneuver. She missed by a lot that it was like wasn’t even locked on her target before firing.

“That was a pretty clumsy shot huh? Seriously, it made me doubt if you truly came out from my womb!”

“Uggh……..!”

That was clearly a provocation but it was plenty effective against Diaroze. She almost yelled back in anger but she saw Kisei who has yet to regain consciousness lying limp in his seat.

[Right now I’m the only one who can protect him], thinking so the blood that rushed to her head began to cool down and she started slowing her breathing.

“……….There’s no place for skill when you fire using the auto-targeting system in the first place! You are probably just using something to deceive the fire control radar right……..!

Tapping the console, Diaroze tweaked the shooting-related settings. To be specific, she switched from the radar-assisted system to the laser targeting system. With this, her overall accuracy will be slightly lowered but her aim should not be interfered with as easily as before.

When she pulled the trigger, the beam flew right to the place she pointed it to and the [La Grum] had to avoid it while looking slightly flustered.

“As I thought! Employing such a dirty trick…….aren’t you no shame as an empress!?”

“I don’t want to hear anything about shame from an embarrassment like you!!”

Compared to showing that disgraceful footage to the whole army, this is nothing. The Empress almost said that out loud.

“A kettle calling a pot black huh?”

“Even rotten as you are, you are still my blood so please, have some restraints! I’m dying from secondhand embarrassment over here!”

“What did you say……!”

The Empress reacted furiously to Schleer and Valentina’s comments while Diaroze only showed a bitter smile on her face.

Although they managed to damage the Empress’s morale, Diaroze still has to defeat the Empress alone. Diaroze thought as she hid from a beam behind the debris.

“It would be best to avoid getting into melee range huh? That side would have the advantage on that after all………”

The [La Grum] was not designed to be that big just to look imposing alone. Naturally, it also has the power output to match its gigantic frame. Moreover, Diaroze wasn’t confident enough that she can overcome that power gap with her technique alone.

Then what should I do?, the moment she started pondering her plans, Diaroze pulled out the spare magazine from the anti-ship grenade launcher mounted on the leg. It’s a little too big to hold with one hand. She shoved it into a gap between debris.

“You won’t get away from me!”

Just then, the [La Grum] circled around and fired a beam at her. She immediately kicked off the debris and escaped from the line of fire.

“Are you only good at running away? Hmm?”

The Empress sneered and provoked her.

Such a cheap provocation, Diaroze grinned and retorted.

“If you don’t want to have a shootout with me then shall we have a swordfight then!”

With a shout, the Empress drew her sword. It’s a one-handed sword but as though to compensate for the striker’s large frame, the blade was as long as Schleer’s Zweihander. The moment she finished unsheathing, the Empress immediately made the [La Grum] lunge at Diaroze with a thrust.

The jet flame from the thrusters was so huge that one can see the ridiculous amount of thrust they are producing. With such a sudden acceleration, the sluggish impression of the giant striker disappeared.

“What swordfight……..!”

With a groan, Diaroze tried to stop the Empress with her mega blaster rifle but she skillfully evaded the beams without stopping her charge. Realizing that it’s useless, Diaroze throws away the rifle and pulls out the photon saber with her left hand. With the earlier attack from the clone, the right arm was already immobile so she had no choice but to fight with one arm.

“NUUUUHH!!?”

Diaroze managed to catch the Empress’s downward swing with her photon saber. The beam blade bent and was broken by the repulsive force from the Empress’s blade. Unable to maintain the blade, the cylindrical grip short-circuited and after a small explosion, the beam blade disappeared altogether.

“You’ve got to be kidding me…….!”

The photon saber was the latest model from Kawashima Iron Work. It has enough performance to compete with the 4 Heavenly’s equipment and royal family Zeniths. Seeing it destroyed in a single hit was unbelievable.

While stabilizing the striker with the thrusters, Diaroze threw away the now useless grip and pulled out another photon saber.

“HaHaHaHa…….! Shame on you!”

The Empress charges at her again while laughing out loud. Seeing that, cold sweat began to drip down Diaroze’s forehead……..
