Don't use Type-Moon references in Oregairu!

Traffic finally picked up again, with two groups of people heading towards Fukuoka with different purposes.

-------------------------------------

"The wind is picking up." Standing at the entrance of the Okura Hotel, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked up at the sky. He wasn't one of those geniuses with a photographic memory; he just sensed something ominous.

Yukino Yukinoshita rolled her eyes at him, then pulled Yui's hand and said, "You stay here and don't move. I'll go call my sister and Komachi and come right back."

Fujimaru Ritsuka was speechless, feeling like he'd been taken advantage of. He watched Yukino and Yui enter the restaurant, and then decided to go to the vending machine to buy a can of juice to replenish his sugar levels and explore his imagination.

"Phew~" As the cola went down her throat and felt comfortable, Fujimaru Ritsuka was enjoying the pleasure of being alone when she heard faint sounds of arguing coming from nearby.

"Huh? The Pillow Book is better? I'm telling you, you've really developed a muscle brain; you can't even tell the difference between good and bad works. Isn't The Tale of Genji better than those essays?"

"Oh dear, even if I'm a teacher, I'll persevere! The heavy emotions in 'The Tale of Genji' give me a headache. The bright and cheerful writing style of 'The Pillow Book' is much more to my liking."

Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms, stomped her feet unhappily, and looked at the stubborn, muscular, twin-tailed blonde girl in front of her. She decided to give her a good talking-to and tell her what the beauty of mono no aware (the pathos of things) is.

Coming to Fukuoka was purely accidental. One day, she learned from her editor that her work was facing cancellation, and she was torn about the suggestion of "holding a book signing event to boost popularity".

If authors need to step in to boost their books' popularity by using the gimmick of a beautiful young female author, wouldn't that be a desecration of their beloved work? Is it better to be shameless or to cancel the book altogether? That is the question.

Adding to the fact that she encountered some strange things, Kasumigaoka Utaha was exhausted, and her stamina bar had dropped to -1000%.

Troubled, she sought help from an online friend she had known for some time: she had met someone named "Royal Cherry Blossom Fang" while chatting online occasionally. Although the two had different interests in female writers from the Heian period and often argued, they were still considered rare friends.

"Let's go to Fukuoka City! The DONTAKU Festival is really lively right now. If we eat and play to our hearts' content, we can solve all our troubles!"

The other party gave her an extremely stupid suggestion, which made her immediately reply with a string of "?".

But the suggestion was somewhat interesting, so she eventually came along.

The other person was indeed a cheerful idiot; all they talked about was eating and fitness and weight loss. After traveling around with a girl named Sakura Hibiki, my mood improved a lot.

Then, they began to bring their daily online arguments offline.

"So~" Hibiki Sakura picked up a crispy fried chicken cutlet and crunched it down, golden batter sticking to the corners of her mouth. "Both *The Pillow Book* and *The Tale of Genji* are great works, hmm (chewing). But I think *The Pillow Book* is better. What's so exciting about that, Kasumi-sensei? (chewing)"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's fist clenched: Novelists get angry when their favorite works are belittled! Even the great Alexandre Dumas dueled thirteen times in his life, how could I not follow his example? If it weren't for the fact that I'm simply no match for him...

"Want some? I also bought a croquette." The croquette, emitting an enticing aroma, was handed to her. Looking at the silly, grinning Sakura Hibiki, Kasumigaoka Utaha listlessly agreed and took the croquette.

chew.

"...It really is delicious, the cheese flavor goes well with the potatoes."

"right?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka watched the two quarreling girls make up and walk away happily, feeling a warm glow in her heart: "I found something good, Shifu. But that blonde girl, I think I've met her once before?"

As he retraced his memories, he inadvertently saw a seemingly refined but actually lecherous middle-aged man follow them and turn into the alley they had entered.

With her excellent eyesight, Fujimaru Ritsuka could clearly see the scorpion-shaped bracelet on the man's wrist even from a hundred meters away.

?

Could we have found his weakness so quickly? But we need to get there fast, lest he get crippled.

Fujimaru Ritsuka remembered that blonde girl who had once punched a sandbag to pieces.

Fifty-one, Alley, Uncle, Tentacles, and Girls

Kozo Akizuki licked his lips, touched the rabbit-foot amulet in his pocket, and grinned wickedly. His normally deceptively gentlemanly face now appeared lewd and vulgar.

"I was originally planning to take down that woman's daughters first, but the orders from the adults are absolute. Luckily, every cloud has a silver lining, hehehehehe..."

The moment he stepped into the alley, he silently activated his magic, causing ordinary people around him to subconsciously ignore the alley. It had transformed into a sealed magical realm, leaving him alone to savor the two succulent pieces of meat.

Ah, teenage high school girls are so wonderful.

Their uniforms are their pure white armor, and peeling them away layer by layer reveals their tender, naked bodies. Just thinking about the long, black-stockinged legs and voluptuous figures underneath makes Akizuki Kozo want to groan.

He took out the rabbit-foot amulet, kissed it, and whispered a prayer: "Thank you, Asmodeus, my father, for giving me such delicious food. I offer you a sacrifice with the desires, struggles, and pure blood of a woman."

Straightening up, he made no attempt to hide his prominent erection and swaggered after the two men ahead of him.

Hearing the footsteps following them, Kasumigaoka Utaha turned around warily, then immediately pulled Sakura Hibiki back, took out her phone, and shouted, "Hey you sleazy scum behind me, I'm warning you, don't come any closer. This is a commercial area, if I shout, passersby and the police will come!"

Without making a sound, she pressed the record button on her phone and quickly dialed the emergency number.

Sakura Hibiki's mouth dropped open, revealing her adorable fangs: "Really? There are still such arrogant perverts these days. Kasumi-sensei, move aside, I'm going to teach him a lesson!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha did not let go of the hand holding her down. She sensed that the other person was fearless, and at the same time, her phone displayed a message that it could not connect to the network signal.

"Police? A lesson? Hmph... Hmph hahahahahaha!" Akizuki Kozo gave them a strange look, then burst into loud laughter, unable to straighten his back. "This place has long been a demonic realm that no one can come to."

Unable to fully comprehend the man's words, Kasumigaoka Utaha also noticed the deathly silence of the alley, completely unable to hear the noise from the commercial district just a few meters away.

Akizuki Takayuki wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of his eyes and apologized politely, "Oh dear, I'm sorry, the dessert is almost done, it's time for the main course."

He looked at the two girls with satisfaction: Kasumigaoka Utaha, dressed in extremely alluring black stockings and possessing a devilish figure, was undoubtedly a perfect score. The slightly plump blonde girl beside her, with her boundless energy, could also be considered a 7 or 8 out of 10.

Ah, thanks to Asmodeus's guidance and the luck of the rabbit's foot amulet, I saw such excellent prey.

Raising the rabbit-foot amulet, words that no one understood but were full of blasphemy rang out from Akizuki Kozo's mouth, luring everyone present into the abyss.

The rabbit foot amulet, or lucky rabbit foot, was created after he gained extraordinary power.

Based on knowledge gained during the Asmodeus ritual, during the full moon, he induced a rabbit to transform into a weak monster, killed it near the graveyard, cut off its left hind leg, and processed it into an amulet in a blasphemous manner.

It has many special effects, but what satisfies Akizuki Kozo the most is its hypnotic estrus effect—the March Hare has always symbolized the maddening and unreleased desires of the mating season.

This concept is extracted and infused into an amulet, allowing even the already incapacitated Akizuki Kozo to successfully perform a "boki" (sexual intercourse). Furthermore, this amulet can be used to hypnotize and control young girls.

No matter how innocent and naive a girl may be, she will transform into a shameless knight when immersed in the madness of the rabbit-foot amulet.

That's all set! ...Huh?

The imagined scene of two girls, their eyes brimming with spring-like joy, taking off their clothes one by one, did not materialize. They were only momentarily dazed before snapping back to reality.

Sakura Hibiki was already impatient. She broke free from Kasumigaoka Utaha's hand and sprinted forward: "You pervert, take this punch!"

In Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes, Sakura Hibiki crossed the meter in an instant. With her feet forward and backward, she adopted a standard boxing stance, her right shoulder slightly lowered, and delivered a sharp, swift punch that slammed into the lewd man's cheek.

With a muffled "thud," Akizuki Kozo, still surprised that his invincible spell had failed, was sent flying, tumbling three and a half times in the air before crashing into a nearby trash can and falling to the ground.

"Tsk. He can't even take a punch from a weak woman like me, yet he dares to act like a pervert?" Sakura Hibiki shook her head disdainfully, almost spitting on the scumbag.

Kasumigaoka Utaha stood there stunned, not daring to speak for a long time: "Your punch almost caused an air explosion, and you call yourself a weak woman?"

She began to reflect on what she had said before. She knew her own sharp tongue, and she shouldn't have angered Hibiki Sakura too much... right?

Sakura Hibiki made a peace sign at Kasumigaoka Utaha and chuckled, "Utaha, forget about him, let's hurry up and go find the police to arrest him."

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded, then exclaimed in alarm, "Sakura-san, watch out!"

A dark shadow swept across, and after being reminded, Sakura Hibiki managed to make a defensive move. A powerful blow struck her arms, and she let out a muffled groan as she was sent flying to Kasumigaoka Utaha's feet.

"Are you alright?!"

"Ouch, that hurts! But I didn't break any bones!" Hibiki Sakura struggled to get up from the ground, staring at the person opposite her with a grim expression.

The man was covered in kitchen scraps and vegetable juices, his expression ferocious, with black octopus tentacles floating around him: "In the name of Asmodeus, I've changed my mind. I'm going to make you two bitches, while you're still conscious, have yourselves turned into three-way penetration weapons by these tentacles. Then I'll throw you out into the street and let everyone see your filthy state!"

The girls were sweating profusely. Watching this supernatural scene, Sakura Hibiki couldn't help but exclaim, "That thing is so thick, it's practically going all the way down to their stomachs!"

"Sakura-san! Now is not the time to unleash your lewd imagination!" Utaha's hands, gripping the hem of her clothes, turned white with force. "Scumbag monsters can only satisfy their lust in such indecent ways! I suppose his thing is useless, so he can only rely on external things to bully girls."

Her body trembled slightly, knowing that she could not escape death—no matter how strong Sakura Hibiki was, she was still just an ordinary person's body, and could not compare with the monster in front of her.

These hurtful words were merely a way to barely maintain a shred of dignity.

However, it hit the nail on the head perfectly.

"...I'll kill you!" Akizuki Kozo wildly waved his tentacles and pounced on him, "I'm going to first O- you and then O- you, ahhhhh!"

"Let go of that girl!"

52. Now, let us recount your sins!

Time seemed to drag on endlessly. Kasumigaoka Utaha felt every minute and second was stretched out indefinitely. She could see Sakura Hibiki's anxious but helpless expression, the man opposite her with his ferocious smile, and the suckers on his tentacles.

It sounds like someone shouted something. Who could it be?

Oh well, it doesn't matter anymore. I just hope my corpse won't look unrecognizable, so my father and mother won't be too sad...

"Rider Kick!"

Time begins to flow again.

The figure leaped into the air, his entire body bursting with vibrant red flames. A stylish flying kick struck the scumbag squarely in the chest, sending him flying and embedding him in the wall.

"Let go of that girl!" It seemed like those words had just reached her ears.

"------"

Kasumigaoka Utaha stared blankly at the figure kneeling on one knee in front of her, her heart pounding.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was overjoyed: she rattled off two of the "ten lines I most want to shout out loud" in one breath, and even struck a classic hero landing pose, feeling as comfortable as drinking an ice-cold cola on a hot summer day.

He stood up, subtly touched his knee, and really wanted to say "Wow!"

Are the heroes' knees fitted with vibranium menisci?

"Hmph, you actually survived my Knight's Kick. You're strong, but unfortunately you met me." Fujimaru Ritsuka pointed her right hand forward. "Let's recount your sins!"

He made no mention of how his use of the "Flame" weapon as propulsion in order to cosplay the Rider Kick resulted in insufficient power.

Akizuki Kozo coughed up blood, used his tentacles to pull himself out of the wall, his eyes filled with madness: "Damn it! Where did you come from, Shinsengumi? Special Affairs Bureau?"

"Who knows? Maybe it's Chaldea?" Fujimaru Ritsuka stepped forward. His kick must have broken many bones, but he didn't expect this person to be able to pull him out with tentacles, so he was not careless at all.

"Tsk..."

Akizuki Kozo is now like a virgin encountering a scheming woman, unable to make a move and unable to use his injuries to ambush him.

With trembling hands, he painfully pulled out the rabbit-foot amulet: "We will meet again, and next time, I will kill you!"

"You want a next time?!" Fujimaru Ritsuka sensed that the other party was about to escape, so she stopped holding back and pulled out [Twilight Muramasa] from her body.
