My youth story cannot be a knight war

15. Defense Advent (two in one)

Sakakino Academy.

"Hey, these two bikers, could they be..."

"They look alike. Or rather, the name and appearance of that Sawano Taisuke are exactly the same as the one in school. That Ito Makoto can't really be that Ito, right?"

"Hey~ He looks quite gentle, and I like him very much. I heard that Ito is also very popular among the girls in other classes."

"Yeah, you can't judge a person by his appearance. I never thought he would become like that in the future. I seem to have heard from others that his family also has problems, especially Ito's father. It is said that..."

"Hey? Are they those two people, the ones in the corridor?"

A boy in the class pointed to the corridor in surprise. Everyone in the class immediately turned their eyes to the corridor. Through the outdoor window of the lecture hall, they saw two boys in school uniforms walking hurriedly in the corridor, or running in the corridor, as if they wanted to lower their heads like ostriches.

"Damn it! Why do we appear in this damn video like this!"

Taisuke Sawagenaga cursed in a low voice with an angry expression, but he was not angry about why he became like that, but why he appeared in this image in this video that everyone was watching. On the contrary, he did not react much to the many evil deeds that were revealed in the words in the video, because he knew very well that those were indeed things he might do.

"..."

Makoto Ito, who was also walking next to him, looked pale, and his hands holding the phone were shaking slightly. Looking at the completely unfamiliar "self" in the video, he could not believe what he saw.

"Why...will I become such a social scum in the future? A despised scum of society?"

Thinking about how all the people who watched the video would look at him in the future, and the beautiful girl who made his heart beat fast on the train recently, and thinking that everything in the past would be gone from him because of this, Ito Makoto almost wanted to cry.

Why should I pay for something I never did, or haven’t done yet!?

[The monster that had once made his heart beat fast slowly walked in front of him. Ito Makoto felt that his entire pants were completely wet. After absorbing the water, the pants became heavy, making his legs, which were already trembling with fear, even more unable to stand up.]

【“No! Don’t! Don’t come over here! You monster! Don’t—guh?”】

[Ito Makoto suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He looked down at his left chest with a confused look. A steel bar was inserted into his chest. Behind him, the tip of the steel bar penetrated his back and entered the concrete floor. The ground was covered with dense cracks, centered on the tip of the steel bar.]

[Ito Makoto's bloodless lips trembled a few times, and a mouthful of bright red blood mixed with organ fragments spurted out of his mouth. His body was about to fall backwards due to inertia, but the steel bar inserted into his chest fixed his body. He could only tilt his head back weakly, and the unfastened helmet fell off his head. His hands hung on both sides of his body. He looked up at the starless night sky of Tokyo, and his pupils gradually dilated.]

[Red blood flowed out from the steel bar that penetrated his back, and flowed little by little on the ground below him and spread out. Above the blood was Ito Makoto's kneeling body. This scene of death was full of a strange sense of religion. The steel bar inserted into his heart was like a spear from God, piercing the sinner's heart and sending him into hell. It was also like the devil offering a sacrifice to Satan, offering a voluntary sacrifice to die. It was also like Qin Hui kneeling in front of Yue Fei's tomb for a thousand years to confess his sins to him. Ito Makoto was like confessing to the women he had committed crimes against in the past. His death was extremely tragic and mysterious.]

[“Dirty Lindo.”]

Zu-Mebio-Da loosened its grip on the end of the steel bar and took a few steps back in disgust, avoiding the water stain spreading across the ground from Ito Makoto's crotch. This was the first time it had ever seen such a disgusting Rindo, and even killing him felt like dirtying its hands. There happened to be a spear nearby that looked like one of Rindo's, so it took it.

[What made it even more disgusting was that after seeing the helmet fall off Ito Makoto's face, when it saw Rindo's face, it actually felt a "heartbeat" in its heart, and even felt a sense of regret for killing Rindo? ]

Mebio thinks he's been sealed away by KUUGA for too long, and his mind seems a bit off after he was freed. Otherwise, why would he fall for Rindo? It's like an otaku ignoring a beautiful 2D girl and falling for a fat 3D woman instead.

[Looking at the beautiful corpse in front of him, a surge of joy welled up in Mebio's heart. As expected, a dead Lindo is the most beautiful.]

【"stop!!!"】

An angry male voice came from behind, rapidly approaching from a distance. Mebio turned around and saw a white-haired man named Linduo rushing towards him, his left fist clenched at his waist, ready to strike.

【"snort."】

[It snorted disdainfully, put its hands on its hips and straightened its body without even trying to dodge. It just looked at the other party with an angry expression rushing towards it and throwing a weak punch at its face.]

[Lin Duo's fist was just a common man's anger, hitting his head against the ground's ears, it's not worth mentioning at all!]

[——Before the fist hit its face, Mebio thought so.]

【boom--】

[It was clearly a human fist, but at that moment the end of the fist created a layer of white air waves visible to the naked eye. That was the sound barrier created when an object broke through the speed of sound.]

The punch landed heavily on Mebio's face, its ancient Egyptian features distorted and warped under the force of the blow, blood splattering. Unable to even react, Mebio was sent flying. His slender body smashed through the wall of a nearby construction site, breaking the pillars and beams of a newly constructed wooden house. The wooden frame, with the main beam broken, collapsed with a roar, burying Mebio's body underneath, sending clouds of dust billowing.

[At the moment he was knocked away, Mebio completely changed his mind. This Linduo's fist was incredibly heavy, and even for a moment it reminded him of that horrific and humiliating memory from long ago——]

Although the gap is still far, the anger and heaviness contained in this punch are just like the Kuuga who once completely sealed their clan!

【"Ha ha……"】

[He gasped and retracted his left fist. The fist and the bones underneath felt a sharp pain due to the reaction force, causing Zaimokuza's left hand to tremble uncontrollably.]

[But he couldn't care about these things at the moment. He turned around and looked at the man's body behind him, who had died tragically. Seeing the lingering desire for life on the face of the corpse, his teeth were clenched so hard that they made a clattering sound.]

[He was still too late, and failed to save the man from the clutches of an unconfirmed life form.]

[The face that had always made people wonder if only the laughing nerves were working no longer had a smile on it, and the shadow cast by his bangs completely covered the upper half of his face. The momentum of a volcano about to erupt enveloped Zaimokuza, and his right fist creaked.]

[Zaimokuza turned around silently, looked at the pile of wood ruins that exploded in all directions, and stared at the black shadow that stood up.]

[“You… Linduo——”]

A twisted, strange tone emanated from the crooked mouth. Mebio snapped his dislocated jaw back into place with his hands. The bleeding wound on his face slowly healed, but it couldn't undo the shame and murderous intent that welled up in his heart.

[A mere Linduo, actually! Actually dared——]

[“I’m going to break your arms and legs and throw them into the river!”]

[Faced with the roar of the unidentified life form in front of him, Zaimokuza did not react at all. He had no idea what nonsense they were talking about from the beginning. ]

【But one thing is certain. 】

[Zaimokuza casually threw his backpack onto a tree. The backpack stuck firmly on the fork of the branch, and then he raised his hands and pressed them on his waist! ]

A silver ruby ​​belt appeared around his waist amidst the distinctive humming sound. Mebio's body trembled as he saw the familiar belt that often appeared in his nightmares appear on this Lindo.

[But it was not out of fear, but out of immense anger and hatred. ]

【"you……"】

[“Transform!”] 1

[While the unidentified life form on the other side was still talking, Zaimokuza had already completed a series of transformation actions, and after shouting angrily, he covered the buckle on his left waist with both hands. ]

[A red light flashed from the gem in the middle of the belt. Under the cover of this light, red armor and black skin replaced Zaimokuza's clothes and body. As the black helmet and red compound eyes finally engulfed the resolute face, golden horns soared into the sky. The red warrior who had only appeared once appeared in this world again after a day.]

[Since seeing the girl's tears, Zaimokuza has understood why he has to fight and ignited his will to fight. Now, he can transform into the red Kuuga who is more powerful than the white Kuuga just by thinking about it.]

[He wants to protect everyone's smiles from these monsters! ]

[“——KUUGA!”]

[Furiously yelling his enemy's name, Mebio fell to the ground with his limbs, and rushed forward like a real cheetah amidst the smoke and dust that erupted from the explosion. The sharp claws on his hands stabbed at the neck of Zaimokuza, who had transformed into Kuuga.]

[“Die!”]

[“Hey!”]

Zaimokuza fearlessly strikes back at the enraged Mebio. The two factions, enemies of ancient times, once again ignite a battle that has lasted for thousands of years in a modern city.

……

[“Notify all police cars. Unidentified life form No. 4 and newly appeared life form No. 5 have been found in Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo. The two are in a fierce battle. Please ask the nearby police stations to provide full assistance. I repeat, in Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo—”]

【“shit!”】

【Listening to the police car's broadcast, Kousaka Kyousuke couldn't help but burst out an American curse word, slammed his hand on the steering wheel, and stepped on the accelerator hard. The neon taillights of the police car brought a series of afterimages and passed the vehicle in front. The sounding police lights made all vehicles dare not stop, and drove towards the Nagano Prefecture Police Station at a speed that would definitely get points deducted.】

[“Don’t die, you idiot!”]

……

Zaimokuza ducked his head to avoid Mebio's claws that were stabbing at his eyes, turned around and grabbed its outstretched arm, twisted his body, and threw it to the ground with a standard shoulder throw.

[“I feel like I can do it!”]

[He immediately pressed forward and grabbed the opponent's neck with both hands, and choked him with a powerful naked choke. Because of the angle, the opponent's waving arms could not hit Zaimokuza at all. He kept increasing the strength of his hands to stalemate with him, feeling the opponent's gradually weakening struggle, and suddenly felt that there was a chance this time. ]

[Since he got this belt and transformed, none of the battles he had experienced ended in a normal way. If Mr. Kosaka hadn't intervened when fighting No. 1, he would have been killed. When fighting No. 3, he was beaten up, and only survived with the help of Mr. Kosaka. The second time he fought No. 3, he changed into this form and gained the upper hand in the battle, but No. 1, who was not dead, broke in and was almost beaten to death in a one-on-two situation. It was only with the help of Mr. Kosaka that No. 3 was driven away and No. 1 was killed in a one-on-one battle.]

[Suddenly, he realized that he could only survive every battle with the help of Kousaka Kyousuke. Thinking of this, Zaimokuza missed Kousaka who was far away in Nagano Prefecture. He was like the stone that "stood waiting for her husband and turned into a standing stone" - this description seems to be a little wrong, but it's roughly the meaning. ]

[In every battle, there is someone fighting beside him, so Zaimokuza has never tried to fight an unconfirmed life form alone, so he does not have an accurate understanding of his own strength level. ]

[And in this battle with the newly emerged unconfirmed life form, Zaimokuza finally had an accurate understanding of his current level of strength. It can be said that as long as he is steady and not reckless, as long as no accidents happen, and as long as no stupid teammates intervene, his victory will be a sure thing! ]

[Beep, beep, beep—]

The familiar sound of a police siren startled Zaimokuza slightly, and then the bright lights coming towards him made him instinctively put his hands in front of his eyes, which gave Mebio, who was barely breathing, a chance to escape.

[“Woooooo!”]

A powerful thigh suddenly launched an overhead kick into Nakazai Mokuza's face. As he rolled back, clutching his face, he swiftly somersaulted back to his feet. Mebio clutched his neck, gasping for breath.

[Just as it was free from the woodblock, police cars drove in from all directions, blocking the small alley, cutting off the only escape route.]

[“Two of them appeared together!?”]

A police officer who looked very similar to Takeo Saeki from "The Grudge" got out of the car and saw Zaimokuza and Mebio lying on the ground. His expression froze, and he pulled out his pistol and opened the car door to use as a shield.

[“Sakurai, you and the other half of the group will take care of number five, and number four will be taken care of by me and the rest of the brothers!”]

【"clear!"】

Another stern-faced officer nodded cautiously and pointed his gun at the standing Mebio. Meanwhile, the "Saeki Takeo" pointed his pistol at the standing Zaimokuza. The sounds of the bolt being pulled and the safety being clicked blended into a dull melody.

[“3.2.1. Shoot!”]

【"wait--"】

【Four days ago, Zaimokuza was an ordinary person. For the first time in his life, he was treated like a terrorist by the police. He was stunned. He was completely unable to react and subconsciously wanted to speak to the police, "Tai-kun! I am a good citizen!" to identify himself. However, the overwhelming bullets blocked his words.】

【Bang bang bang bang bang bang!!! !!! 】

【All the policemen's guns emitted smoke and fire. It can only be said that they are worthy of being the Tokyo police. Their equipment completely crushes the Nagano Prefectural Police Department. Zaimokuza rolled over behind a wire mesh to avoid the bullets. The ground where he was lying was riddled with bullet holes. If the Nagano Prefectural Police Department had this kind of firepower, he would have been shot to death before he could transform into No. 1.】

[“Damn you Lindos!”]

Mebio was instantly struck down by the modern humans' "arrows," completely different from the Rindos of her memory. Furious, once again beaten down by the humans she looked down upon, she stood up, her hands folded in front of her face, and attempted to charge the police. Seeing this, Zaimokuza braved the hail of bullets and rushed behind her, reaching out to grab her hands that were blocking her face and locking them behind her back.

"You!? Kuuga!"

Mebio's hands, which were blocking his face, were suddenly locked behind his back. He turned back in shock and anger, looking at Zaimokuza behind him. However, Zaimokuza lifted his body with his shoulders and carried him directly towards the circle of police cars and ammunition.

[“You actually used your companion as a shield!”]

[Looking at the unconfirmed life form No. 4 who used his "companion" as a shield and rushed towards here, "Tsuneo Saeki"'s face suddenly changed, but despite his astonishment, he never let go of the finger that pulled the trigger of the pistol. ]

【"ah!!!"】

One of the bullets struck Mebio squarely in the right eye. The brass bullet embedded itself in the crimson eye amidst a splatter of blood. The intense pain in his eye made him scream loudly and struggle even harder. Zaimokuza, feeling the grip of his opponent's hands suddenly tighten, gritted his teeth and sped up his charge.

Zaimokuza used Mebio as a shield, and all incoming bullets hit it. Zaimokuza, unharmed, carried Mebio, who was about to break free, across the police car blockade, knocked down the police officers who tried to stop him, and rushed to the river across the way.

"KUUGA!!!"

Mebio finally broke free from Zaimokuza's restraints at the last moment, reaching out with one hand to his face and grabbing Zaimokuza's neck behind him. Zaimokuza ignored him and silently grabbed him and jumped into the river amid his roar.

【Snapped! 】

[The bodies of the two fell into the cold river, huge waves splashed, and all the police immediately rushed to the riverside and aimed their guns at the ripples on the surface of the river that had not yet dissipated. ]

[And in the turbulent water on the surface of the river, the figures of the unidentified life forms No. 10 and No. have disappeared.]

16. Past Service Club (Two in One)

【Chengnan University, teaching building area.】3

【07.35: AM】

[Yukinoshita Yukino walked in the corridor with a tired face, kneading her temples gently with her fingers. The dark circles under her eyes were so heavy that even the high-end foundation could not cover them up. ]

[This is the second day after she returned to Tokyo. Thinking back to what happened in Nagano in the past few days, she still feels unreal, as if there is a thin veil between her and reality, so close yet so far away.]

[Yesterday, when she was translating the inscriptions on the ruins, she fell asleep because she was too sleepy. When she woke up, it was already this morning. She slept for nearly 24 hours, which is a whole day. This shows how tired she was.]

[But there is no other way. Many people in this laboratory, including the instructor, died in the ruins of Jiulangyue. Now the entire archaeology department of Chengnan University is extremely short of people, so this job can only fall on her shoulders, who is forced to have the highest experience and qualifications. Before the school decides to recruit some new people, she must handle the workload of the entire team by herself. ]

[Especially after the incident of the unconfirmed life form, deciphering these super ancient inscriptions has become a top priority, because the inscriptions may hide the secret of why these monsters appeared. This has increased the pressure on Yukinoshita Yukino, making her feel overwhelmed. She just wants to find a place to learn from her high school teacher and drink a lot to relieve stress. ]

[She opened the office door and stepped inside.]

[“Hmm!”]

The soft touch under her feet and the man's groaning made her stop. Yukinoshita Yukino lowered her head expressionlessly, looking at Zaimokuza Yoshiki, whose chest she had stepped on.

[“…Why are you sleeping here, Zaimokuza-san?”]

【“Minister?”】
