No one's POV
Haruhime: Kokonoe.
Surprisingly, the new sorcery she had learned began not with a chant but with the announcement of the spell's name.
Haruhime: Beloved snow. Beloved crimson. Beloved white light.
As Haruhime sang the chant, her body began to change. The magic she released turned to innumerable sparks of light that gathered around her buttocks. A sound like a bell being rolled rang out, and at the same time five tails made of light the same color as her fur sprouted from her behind.
Haruhime: Please let me be beside you—this love I have found at the end of two thousand nights.
Haruhime now had six tails, including the original one, all of them glittering with golden light. Her black robe absorbed the aftereffects of the magic and floated airily around her. Like the girl herself, the dwarves protected within the circle of adventurers were spellbound. Even the noble elves forgot their surroundings and stared bedazzled at this girl who resembled nothing more than a shrine maiden chanting ritual prayers.
Aisha: Shit, we're screwed.
Aisha murmured as the magic took effect. She had strictly forbidden Haruhime from using the spell except when she commanded it. The reason she had done this was that once its power became known, she knew an ugly struggle for the girl would occur yet again. The other reason was that it was their ultimate trump card, the only one that had the power to single-handedly break through a deadlocked battle.
Haruhime(mind): This is so hard.
Beads of sweat formed on Haruhime's forehead. She could feel her mental strength draining away. It was as if fragments of her life were being sucked into those tails of light. It occurred to her somewhat randomly that this must be what the sacrificial shrine maidens in the Far East felt like.
Haruhime: My name is Magic Fox, former destroyer. My name is Ancient Song, former dreamer. For you who beat your wings like a bird, I shall allow the nine spirits to dwell within me.
Her throat was on fire. Her body was burning. The golden light became ferocious fangs tearing into her tender flesh as it almost set off an Ignis Fatuus.
Monster: GYAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Rin: Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!
She could hear Rin fighting a monster. The roars of her companions protecting her powerless self set her heart on fire. All Haruhime could do was sing. And so she would sing, until her voice dried up, until her life drained away, breathing a prayer for her beloved companions. She would fulfill their spirited hopes. And she would help the boy whom she yearned for.
