The Knight of the Second Generation of Demons Re-enacts

……

"Is this right here?"

Not long after, Chen Shi received a strange text message from Ichinose Honami. Out of concern, he ran to the woods and saw the store manager being attacked by the longhorn beetle Aoi and the lobster Aoi.

"Store manager!"

Since there had been a precedent of Hikigaya Hachiman being implicated by him before, Chen Shi, whose face changed drastically, did not think too much about it. He just thought that Ichinose Honami was implicated by him again and was attacked.

When Chen Shi thought that he had implicated others again, his mind suddenly heated up. He roared and immediately rushed forward.

Taking advantage of the moment when Longniu Aoife didn't react, he directly knocked the opponent away, freeing him from his grip on Ichinose Honoki.

"Cough cough!"

Feeling that the five fingers that were gripping his throat loosened, Ichinose Hoba sat down on the ground, looking at Chen Shi with complicated eyes.

"Chen Shijun, you have to be careful!"

"Leave this to me! Manager, please leave quickly!"

Not noticing the unusual tone in Ichinose Honoki's voice, Chen Shi grabbed a branch and started smashing it at the longhorn beetle Aofei.

Maybe it was because he now had better physical fitness than ordinary people, or maybe it was because Tianniu Aofei had never seen such a fierce and fearless ordinary person. After losing the initiative, he was actually hit by the opponent and couldn't fight back. He could only retreat while trying hard to regroup.

But everyone knows that this temporary advantage is nothing but an illusion.

A mere piece of wood could not possibly break Aofei's defense. By the time the longhorn beetle Aofei got used to it, Chen Shi, who was unwilling to transform, would definitely not be able to be the opponent's opponent.

Seeing Chen Shi, who was gradually sweating profusely and knowing this, Sakayanagi Arisu, who had remained motionless, slightly raised the corner of his mouth.

——Well, what should you choose? Reveal your identity as Orphino to ordinary people in your eyes, or face death like this?

Arisu Sakayanagi is waiting, waiting to see what choice Chen Shi will make in the dilemma he has created.

However, there is one person who does not intend to follow Arisu Sakayanagi's script.

"squeak--"

Suddenly, a sharp brake sound was heard outside the woods. Hikigaya Hachiman, who was passing by here after delivering goods, happened to see what happened here.

Once again, his thinking was in perfect sync with Chen Shi's. Hikigaya Hachiman thought that Chen Shi had been implicated by him again. Without thinking, he dropped the car and rushed over here, kicking Longniu Aofei on the back.

Poor Longniu Aofei had just recovered from Chen Shi's powerful Eight Chop of Xia Ji, but he didn't expect that there was another master. He was kicked to the ground by Hikigaya Hachiman without paying attention and fell into a daze.

The two men who had gone through crises together several times looked at each other. The tacit understanding they had developed before allowed them to understand each other's intentions with just a glance. They grabbed Ichinose Honami on the ground and ran away.

Seeing this, Arisu Sakayanagi subconsciously raised his rapier to attack, but he stopped himself abruptly the next second before swinging the sword and watched them escape.

"Forget it. Regardless of whether he reveals his identity or not, it is just an insignificant chess move to me."

Recalling what he had said to Ichinose Honami, Sakayanagi Arisu put down his sword again and his eyes fell on the pink-haired girl who was being held by the two men.

“Now the real fun begins.”

At this time, neither Hikigaya Hachiman nor Chen Shi noticed that Ichinose Honami's eyes were not the look of someone who had survived a catastrophe as they had imagined, but instead a look of wavering struggle. 】

Chapter 989 Accelerated form.

[Hikigaya Hachiman and Chen Shi did not notice anything unusual about Ichinose Hoba. For the former who had lost his belt and the latter who was not convenient to show his true form in battle, escaping from the hands of the two Orphinos was already a very difficult task.

So much so that when they ran as fast as they could for quite a distance and found that there were no pursuers following them, the two young men suddenly felt inexplicably lucky.

With one hand on the wall beside him and breathing heavily, Hikigaya Hachiman looked at Chen Shi who was also panting, and then he felt like joking.

"I didn't quite believe you when you said you were the one who brought Ophino here. But now I see that you are really not just an unlucky guy. You owe me a big favor this time."

Of course, Hikigaya Hachiman was not serious when he said this. During the past two days, the young man with dead eyes had become quite familiar with this peer who he inexplicably got along with in every sense. Seeing that he met Orphino again, he couldn't help but make a joke.

In response to this, Chen Shi naturally responded with a merciless laugh and scolding.

"Really? I think someone has passed on the bad luck to me. He should be responsible for my mental damages."

After teasing each other to ease their tense nerves, the two young men smiled at each other and then turned around to look at Ichinose Honami, who was supported by them, and asked about her condition with some concern.

It was not until this time that they suddenly realized that the store manager, who had always greeted them with a smile, had been silent from the beginning.

The pink-haired beauty kept her head down, her light pink bangs covering her originally lively eyes. The two young men even vaguely felt that the girl's body was trembling slightly.

"Manager, what's wrong with you? Were you injured somewhere before?"

Seeing her current appearance, Chen Shi couldn't help but be shocked.

Although he and Hikigaya Hachiman had just joked with each other and knew that neither of them really intended to blame the other for this incident, family members know their own business, and deep down in his heart Chen Shi did take the responsibility for the attack on himself.

Now that I think about it, it was obvious that Arisu Sakayanagi deliberately led me there. It is very likely that the store manager was implicated by me and suffered such an unexpected disaster.

Looking at the trembling slender body, Chen Shi's heart was instantly filled with guilt, and he was even more angry at the Zhinao Company for involving irrelevant personnel without any investigation.

——Once this matter is over, resign immediately and do not involve irrelevant people.

He made up his mind and was about to send Ichinose Honami to the hospital with Hikigaya Hachiman, but he suddenly found that the girl's originally very light body was like an iron pillar embedded in the ground and could not be moved no matter how hard he tried.

"Sorry……"

The guilty murmur gently drifted into the ears of the two young men, and for a moment they, who were not slow to begin with, realized that something was wrong.

Looking down again, I saw gray and white lines appearing on Ichinose Hoba's pretty face. Her delicate body expanded rapidly in an instant, and in a few seconds it turned into a streamlined gray body, which looked like a dolphin.

"Varied!?"

Chen Shi was horrified. The scene of a familiar person suddenly turning into Orphino in front of him without any warning caused his PTSD to explode.

The girl who should not have lost her heart appeared in his mind, causing his thoughts to go blank and he froze in place.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...but I really want to live!"

——Just kill that person. That way, the Intelligent Brain Company will no longer hunt you and your family. You don’t want to experience this kind of pain again, do you?

Ichinose Honoha, who turned into a dolphin Orpheus, had no idea what Chen Shi was thinking. The words of Sakayanagi Arisu who instigated her to take action were still echoing in her ears. The fear of being almost beaten to death by other Orpheus made her confused brain unable to let go of this great opportunity in front of her.

"sorry!"

Guilt mixed in with his tightly clenched fists. Using roars to give himself courage, the dolphin Aoi gritted his teeth and punched Chen Shi in the face.

Even though it was the first time that Chen Shi used the power of Orphino, no one would doubt that a good outcome would happen to him if he was hit by this terrifying fist that easily broke through the air and brought with it a gust of wind. Chen Shi, who was still in human form, obviously would not doubt that he would suffer a bad outcome if hit by this move.

But at this critical moment, the black figure beside the two of them suddenly moved.

Hikigaya Hachiman leaped forward and knocked down the dazed Chen Shi before his fist could land on him.

The two men rolled on the ground, narrowly avoiding the attack by brushing against the fist of the dolphin Aoife.

Chen Shi finally came back to his senses after his face was hurt by the wind pressure and felt the burning sensation from the friction with the hard asphalt road. He looked down at Hikigaya Hachiman who had saved him again, and his heart was filled with gratitude.

The latter quickly stood up and protected Chen Shi behind him, and yelled at Ichinose Hoba who was in a daze because his punch missed.

"Stop it, manager! There's still time to turn back. Don't lose your heart as a human being!"

Hikigaya Hachiman's leap just now not only saved Chen Shi's life, but also helped Ichinose Honami to pull back from the brink of disaster.

The young man is no longer the person who only knew how to fight.

So far, he has seen countless Orphinos who were lost under the huge power, and he has also seen humans like Nishimiya Shoko who are still struggling between good and evil.

What is the guy who has to be hit?

What is the person who can turn back?

Although he no longer feels confused about fighting, he has also established his own standards for judging good and evil.

This was the case with Ichinose Honami in front of him. Her attack was full of hesitation, and her apology did not contain a trace of hypocrisy.

Thinking back to the store manager who had taken good care of him over the past two days, Hikigaya Hachiman speculated that she had simply lost her composure in the life-and-death crisis and had the murderous intent in her panic.

If she really took an irreversible step at this moment, then there would be no turning back. On the contrary, if she could be stopped here, then the kind-hearted Ichinose Honami would not disappear.

As expected, the failed attack immediately shattered the killing intent that Ichinose Honami had managed to gather. The entire movement of Dolphin Ophie became stiff, and she was even stunned by the roar of just one person, and subconsciously took two steps back. 】

"Well done, Master, you did a great job!"

Seeing that Hikigaya Hachiman successfully stopped his other-worldly self from doing something stupid, Ichinose Hoba in front of the screen couldn't help but wave his fist in his heart.

The forum was full of praise for Hachiman Bikigaya's actions. In their eyes, even though he had lost the belt, what the Great Sensei did did not disgrace the name of Kamen Rider at all.

No, just like what Yuigahama Yui thought in the video, Hikigaya Hachiman is the best Faiz!

[“I, I…”

Even though he had done such a thing, he was still regarded as a human being. Hikigaya Hachiman's words severely shook Ichinose Honami's already wavering heart.

She looked at her trembling hands, and her heart was instantly filled with fear of what she had just done.

Just a little bit, and his hands as a cook would be stained with sinful blood.

——When that time comes, will I still be able to cook with these two hands with peace of mind?

She asked herself, and an emotion called fear suddenly filled her heart.

A thought of god or devil is nothing more than this.

Just as her murderous intent was gradually fading, a young girl's voice suddenly came from behind them, causing her body to tremble violently.

"Why did you stop?"

Having witnessed everything that happened here, the doll-like beautiful girl's tone was full of disappointment.

Neither Ichinose Honami nor Chen Shi were able to show what Sakayanagi Arisu wanted to see.

Looking back and forth, wavering.

Not to mention Ichinose Honami, who she didn't have high expectations for, even Chen Shi, who once made her look at him differently, surprised her with his performance just now.

Where is the momentum when he transformed without hesitation to fight against himself and Kamuro Masumi?

He kept saying that he wanted humans and Ophino to coexist peacefully, but he became so hesitant when there were humans around him, and even gave up resisting at the moment of death.

——Did I make a mistake?

Arisu Sakayanagi couldn't help but start to doubt himself, and his voice, which had always been smiling, became extremely cold at this moment.

"Do you want to be our enemy?"

"I……"
