Colder With Metal (Hololive x Oc)

Chapter 12: A little heart to heart.

(A/n: New cover drawn by me, let's goo!)

Noel was seen waiting by the gladiators gate, yes I just made that name up and yes it's a bit too late for that, but anyways. She was waiting for the count down, she has faces up against Roboco-san before but that was ever so rarely.

She bit her lip as she peeked through the gate's many open spaces and saw Roboco-san impatiently tapping her foot as she looked over towards the announcers area.

This sparked some curiosity towards her and then looked over to see what was going on towards there. It seems that they were having some technical issues with the speakers and after a few expeditions, aka calling a someone who can fix it, they were finally able to speak through the mic.

"Sorry for the wait everyone. Someone, 'somehow', managed to spill their can of soda towards the speakers. Behind the mic, A-chan gave J-chad a side eye as said manager whistles as she looks to the side.

"Now... Without any further... Competition begins in ten seconds!"

Noel and Roboco-san prepared their weapons, the fight between the past versus the future will now begin in... "Three... Two... One..."

The gates shot open, and then the combatants dashed forward. Roboco-san shot out a projectile from her railgun arm. Noel caught the projectile with her hand, when she unraveled her palm, a steaming semi-melted bolt rested on said palm as if it wasn't burning her skin.

She applied mana into it and molded it into a sharp object, she then threw it back towards Roboco-san. The High spec idol countered by shooting another projectile with accurate precision.

After that small exchange, Roboco-san began to fire out her submachine gun arm, in response, Noel sets up a mana barrier that covers her body, protecting it from Roboco-san's fury of attacks.

Although it didn't last long against Roboco-san's artillery fire.

With no other choice, Noel then smashed the ground and pulled a huge chunk of the arena and used it as a shield while infusing it with protective Mana.

"Things aren't looking good for Noel, huh?" Yuikon said as he eyed at the TV.

"Danchou lacks the range options in her arsenal, The only other times I've seen her use ranged attacks is when she was throwing debris." Subaru commented.

"Hm... She might pull through if she's a follower of the; 'Fuck it, we ball' mentality..." Yuikon then saw Noel punching the huge piece of the arena to send it towards Roboco-san. "She might as well be the definition, actually."

Subaru chuckled at the side comment, she brought her eyes towards Yuikon for a brief second then brought it back towards the fight.

She winced as she saw Noel slamming the debris at her Robot senpai, she couldn't help but imagine herself in that situation, while she did regret not having enough strength to win her fight, it's enough prove herself against her self doubt, but then again... Would it be enough for him?

He could let her help him now, right...?

"Right...?" She muttered out subconsciously.

"What's that?"

"Oh! Uhh... I mean, yeah, right?" Quite the sloppy save from Subaru.

"Right." Thankfully, Yuikon didn't think much of it.

Would it be a good time to ask him? Subaru thought to herself one small question will determine if her efforts were enough for him.

So she decided to ask.
