Komatsu's Love Defense

I opened my mouth in astonishment, my voice trembling slightly due to nervousness: "Hey...that...I didn't!"

Zebula's eyes widened, filled with fine bloodshot, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a cold and terrifying smile: "As for me... I hate guys who get carried away the most. As soon as I see them, I want to crush them to pieces!"

I felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Zebra, and I began to rub my hands unconsciously. I lowered my head, avoiding his gaze, and whispered back, "Um... I always feel... so sorry... I got too carried away..."

When Zebra heard my response, his pupils shrank instantly. He looked at me silently: This kid... is too polite. I can't help but want to bully him.

Zebra suddenly leaned close to my face, so close that I could clearly feel the heat of his breath, and his tone became unusually serious: "Are you really getting carried away?"

I was so frightened by Zebra's sudden question that I quickly shook my head and replied with a trembling voice: "Ah... that... I really didn't... get carried away!"

It's as if Hara Komatsu's innate fear of Zebra was engraved deep in my soul, so much so that even now I am greatly affected by it.

Auburn walked in from the door with his hands behind his back and a serious look on his face. His arrival broke the tense atmosphere and he said in a serious tone, "Director, there is a report."

Upon hearing this, Director Rab turned around and looked at Auburn, frowning and asking in confusion, "What's wrong, Auburn?"

Auburn raised his eyes to look at Director Lab, his tone becoming serious: "The forest monster... has appeared!"

Director Rab sighed upon hearing this, his tone full of helplessness: "Is that so... It's really troublesome."

I was slightly startled, and turned to look at Director Rab, with curiosity and nervousness in my voice: "The monster in the forest... I remember... Mr. Auburn mentioned it at the entrance. What is that?"

Director Lab slowly raised her head and looked at me, her brows knitted tightly together, and her tone was full of unquestionable seriousness: "Once a year, the turtle awakens during the "Monster Season"!"

Cold sweat instantly broke out on my forehead, and my voice trembled involuntarily: "Monster...Monster season?"

Director Lab nodded, his tone becoming more serious and solemn: "This area known as the Dead Season Forest has a special climate! Unlike the alternation of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the Dead Season Forest has four seasons: beast, melt, fog and freeze. This is one of the harshest environments in the human world, just as harsh as the food world."

Director Lab's expression was unusually serious, and her tone became more serious as she said, "First, there is the lava season from June to August, when lava erupts everywhere. September to November is the fog season, when thick fog makes it impossible to see within 6 meter. December to February is the freezing season, when everything can be frozen. And now, from March to May, it is the beast season, when millions of ferocious beasts awaken. The average level of beasts captured is 8, and the most difficult to deal with is the turtle called the Forest Monster, commonly known as the Lava Turtle!"

Auburn frowned and said in a cold tone: "It would be better to wait until the end of the season for Zebra to be released from prison!"

Zebra sneered at this, and a sinister smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. He responded sarcastically: "That guy... is really taking advantage of you."

Zebra suddenly let out a strange laugh, and then he jumped out of the window and ran straight to the prison wall. We all looked at him in astonishment, and our eyes turned to his back.

A Lu and I rushed to the window and looked out. The scene in front of us made us tremble with fear. In the forest under the cliff of Beehive Prison, the sky was filled with all kinds of terrifying beasts, crouching or running, and the number of them was staggering.

In particular, a turtle with lava flowing on its back shell was particularly eye-catching. It opened its big mouth full of fangs and let out a low and terrifying roar.

I leaned against the window, shocked by the horrific sight before my eyes, and couldn't help but exclaim: "What's with the number of these beasts?"

Auburn looked at the purgatory-like scene outside with an expressionless face and explained coldly: "This is the Dead Season Forest that has entered the season. We can no longer go out."

I turned to look at Alu beside me, pointed at Zebula who was standing on the wall, and asked in a trembling voice: "Ze... Mr. Zebula ran away! Is he okay in such a dangerous time?"

Alu turned his head and looked at me, with his hands on his hips and a smug smile on his face: "Danger? Speaking of which, there is something I forgot to tell you, Xiaosong, it is the crime committed by Zebra..."

I stared into Alu's eyes, my heart filled with worry: "But... Mr. Zebra..."

However, at this time, Zebra was already standing on the wall of the Hive Prison, his tall and mighty figure particularly prominent. He looked down proudly at the group of terrifying beasts below, as if he was looking at a group of insignificant ants.

Zebula's face was gloomy, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said lightly: "I see, this guy... is really too proud of himself!"

Alu looked at Zebula on the wall and explained to me in a serious tone: "Zebra, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, has the ability to hear the sound of a coin falling dozens of kilometers away. He can manipulate sound freely and has the power to destroy everything with its vibration. His strength and destructive power are the best among the Four Heavenly Kings."

I followed Alu's gaze to Zebula on the wall, and saw that he was bending down his tall body, as if he was gathering strength. He kept breathing in with his mouth wide open, and his abdominal muscles were constantly contracting. A strong sense of oppression was approaching.

A Lu frowned, his face turned gloomy: "The problem is his appetite and irritable personality. If that guy sees a food he cares about or a creature that makes him unhappy, he will eat and kill it until the race is extinct."

When I heard this, I couldn't help but tremble all over and stammered, "Exterminate...exterminate?"

Alu frowned, his voice low and solemn: "So far, there are actually 26 species of creatures that have been exterminated by Zebra. This is his great sin, so that guy is still designated as a first-level dangerous creature. Among all the monsters outside now, the most dangerous one is none other than Zebra!"

My heart was pounding and a terrible thought popped into my mind: Would Zebra really treat me as his appetizer?

I turned to look at Zebra on the wall. He was ready to release his power. His whole body was raised up, and roars burst out from his mouth. I subconsciously covered my ears, fearing that my ears would be attacked by the strong sound waves emitted by Zebra.

Zebula stopped roaring, and he looked up at the huge white energy ball in the sky with a smug smile on his face: "It will echo and increase in intensity inside... Come on! Descend... Thunder of Sound!"

As Zebula finished speaking, the huge white energy ball suddenly burst into dazzling light, and then turned into lightning and struck directly at the group of terrifying beasts below. However, even if I covered my ears, I could still feel the powerful energy fluctuations, which continued to spread around.
