Hikigaya Hachiman is Kuuga?

"Hey hey? ~Really?"

Hearing his affirmative tone, Totsuka Ayaka scratched her slightly red cheek and asked embarrassedly.

"Yeah, great."

"Hello~ Xiaoqi, hello, Xiao Caijia."

Yuigahama Yui walked over with a smile, "What are you talking about?"

"Nothing." ×2

Hikigaya Hachiman and Totsuka Ayaka smiled at each other, and their tacit understanding made the girl feel uncomfortable instinctively, as if she was completely excluded and was in a two-dimensional world with them.

"Eh? Why?"

In order to get rid of this sense of distance, she asked.

"You don't understand it."

"Xiao Qi, you don't..."

"Members of the Cultural Festival Action Committee, please assemble..."

"I'll go over first, it's not a big deal."

"Humph~ Xiaoqi, you're so stingy!"

Yuigahama Yui puffed her cheeks and looked angrily at Hikigaya Hachiman's receding back.

"Hey~ Yui, do you like Hachiman?"

Just when the girl expressed her dissatisfaction with the boy, words came from the side that were no less powerful than a nuclear bomb in her mind, which blew her away.

"Eh? Xiao...Xiao Caijia, what are you talking about? Who~who likes him? He's obviously just a dead-eyed shut-in."

Totsuka Ayaka took a deep look at Yuigahama Yui who was saying one thing and thinking another, "Is that so~"

"It would be nice if it were true..."

"Eh? Ayaka-chan, what were you talking about?"

"Nothing."

"I must have heard it wrong."

Hikigaya Hachiman was unaware of the conversation between the two. He was standing on the periphery of the Action Committee, silently enduring the cold stares and ridicule from his classmates.

"Is this your approach?"

A familiar cold voice came from beside me.

"This was the only thing that could meet the deadline and complete our commission, right?"

His words stunned Yukinoshita Yukino next to him, "You were still thinking about the commission at that time?"

"what?"

"Isn't this a matter of course? Things that have been promised must be completed, right?"

Hikigaya Hachiman rolled his eyes. "Besides, you don't want the cultural festival you worked so hard for to end in that way, do you?"

“…Well, that’s true.”

Yukinoshita Yukino looked away, and then as if she wanted to escape from here, "I'll go over there first."

"Ah."

"I'm sorry, Hikigaya-kun."

"Did you sisters agree to meet at different times?"

Hikigaya Hachiman glanced at Yukinoshita Haruno beside him. To be honest, he was really surprised when he saw the slightly apologetic expression on her face with her head lowered.

I almost said "So you can apologize, too," but I managed to hold it back with my amazing willpower, because otherwise it would have been too rude.

Yukinoshita Haruno turned her head, her dark eyes rippling with intense emotions, "I will be careful in the future and won't cause you any more trouble."

"..."

[Lady, did you get the wrong script? Or did you forget your character? These words and gestures are completely different from your previous self. Where is your disguise?]

While Hikigaya Hachiman was complaining madly in his heart, he did not forget to answer her.

"Well, as long as you know it."

"Well, see you tonight."

Under his shocked gaze, Yukinoshita Haruno bowed slightly before turning around and disappearing from his sight.

[Xue-no-chan, I understand you now. This attitude is really attractive to us~]

"What is happening?"

Hikigaya Hachiman scratched the back of his head in confusion at Yukinoshita Haruno's sudden abnormal behavior. According to his previous understanding of the other party, he should have used a joking tone and words to construct words with the potential content of thank you.

But now the other party is not playing by the rules, and he is really at a loss.

"Hikigaya~"

The voice that freed him from his confusion was very deep. When he looked towards its source, Hiratsuka Shizuka's troubled smile mixed with heartache came into his eyes.

He lowered his head subconsciously.

Seeing him like this, Shizuka Hiratsuka stopped the words she was about to say. She sighed deeply, gently reached out her hand and lifted the boy's head, making him face her eyes.

"Hey~ Hikigaya, helping others can't be a reason for you to hurt yourself."

[Hurt? Compared to my previous life, I don’t even feel the pain anymore.]

"No, now this kind of..."

"Teacher knows you've been through a lot..."

Shizuka Hiratsuka's hand gently searched his head. The gentle movement seemed to be able to penetrate the body and act directly on the heart, allowing him to feel the warmth at her fingertips.

"But seeing you get hurt, others will feel bad for you, you should be aware of this, right?"

"..."

Hikigaya Hachiman wanted to refute as usual, but when he met the concerned eyes in front of him, his brain was simply unable to piece together a familiar sophistry based on the words he knew to make a powerful rebuttal.

He simply turned his head and averted his gaze, not looking into those concerned eyes.

"...Well, that's all I can say. It's up to you what you do next."

With a voice that could not be told whether it was disappointment or loss, Shizuka Hiratsuka let go of the boy, put her hands in her pockets, and walked away with a somewhat lonely look.

[Hiratsuka-sensei, I know you really care about me, but I still don’t quite believe it. I’m sorry…]

Ever since he gained a basic understanding of the outside world, apart from realizing the true beauty in his younger sister, Hikigaya Hachiman has encountered nothing but malice in the past decade or so, as well as his parents' meager concern, which seems to come out of nowhere.

This gave him a wrong perception of himself and caused him to take every relationship seriously. If he didn't confirm it dozens of times, he was afraid that it was another kind of "gentleness" that did not belong to him but to the public.

So, he is still confirming.

------

In the deserted back mountain, a young man in white clothes with a pure smile suddenly appeared. He looked around the surrounding environment and sensed a very familiar energy fluctuation. He said in a depressed mood.

"Eh? It's over so soon? I haven't had enough fun yet."

"Forget it. Anyway, I have already obtained the power he mentioned. Next, I should start again with Kikiru."

The boy was sent to another world by the blurry black shadow, and now he is the King of Gurongi - En Daguba Jeba, who has finally reappeared online.

He recalled his experience in other worlds, pinched his chin and thought for a while, "Well, let's change the rules of Kikiru, so that everyone can become stronger, and if everyone becomes stronger, Kuuga can also become stronger."

When he said this, Daguba's eyes flashed with fanaticism.

"And if Kuuga gets stronger, I can have a more enjoyable fight."

"Yoshi~ Let's do it this way!"

After he finished speaking, he used instant teleportation to go to the host of Kikiru, La Baluba Die, and explained to her the changes in the rules of the Kikiru game and asked her to convey them to the other Gurongis.

------

"Hmm? Daguba is back?"

"Yeah, I'm back."

Kawada Shinichi smiled and said, "I came back just in time. I was still thinking about how to make the plot more rational, but the problem was solved just like that. Can I say I'm lucky?"

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

In response to the blurry black shadow's words, Kawada Shinichi shrugged nonchalantly.

"There's no other way. This can be said to be the only way to break the deadlock. If we don't resolve Dou Zhen's knot, our ending will be the same."

"Okay, let's follow the plan then."

"That's right, the plan to wake up the gods begins now!"

Chapter 164: Hikigaya Hachiman's inner restlessness, Daguba attacks

Late at night, bursts of explosions were heard from the back mountains, occasionally accompanied by a fierce hurricane.

"Your strength is still not concentrated enough. It's too scattered. Focus your attention."

Hikigaya Hachiman casually grabbed the oncoming heavy punch of Yukinoshita Haruno, then lifted her up with the force of his waist, turned around and threw her at Yukinoshita Yukino who was attacking from behind. The huge force exerted on her made the girl, who did not expect him to do this, stunned, and the sisters rolled into a ball and flew out.

Then, she took a step back to dodge a flying kick from Yuigahama Yui. While her attack was damaging the ground, she was also stiffened by the interaction of forces. A powerful roundhouse kick sent her flying, and she rolled into a ball again with the Yukinoshita sisters who had just stood up, and flew farther away.

"Bang~"

Hikigaya Hachiman looked at the three women who were embedded in the mountain in the distance and could not get out for the moment. He drove the metal wings behind him without any mercy, and fired out metal wings that could cut through iron like mud to pierce them and directly into their flesh.

For a moment, the girl's shrill wails echoed back and forth in the back mountain, as terrifying as a ghost.

The boy, who was about to continue attacking, stopped after hearing this and looked at his hands.

[Why am I so impatient today? Is it because of the inexplicable irritability that has arisen in my heart since the end of the cultural festival?]

In fact, he had no intention of having a "warm-up battle" with the three women in front of him today. Although they had strength comparable to his, they were much weaker than him in terms of combat experience and mental level.

Because he knew that the situation would be just like it is now, completely one-sided and bullying by him alone. However, since the cultural festival ended, not long after he set out on the way home, he suddenly felt irritated and his inner peace was disturbed. It was okay when his sister Hikigaya Komachi was present, so he was able to resist it perfectly and not show it.

However, when he came to the back mountain and looked at the three girls who had not shown much progress, for some reason his inner irritation directly exceeded the critical point, and that led to his bullying performance just now.

"Cough cough cough~"

A weak dry cough was heard, bringing Hachiman Hikigaya back from his thoughts. He raised his hand and used the power of light to pull out the three seriously injured women. The hunter who was in tune with him dissolved his fusion, flew to the three women, and used the power of light to help them recover from their injuries.

"Hiki...Tani-kun, what happened?"

In her burning form, Yukinoshita Yukino was spitting out blood instead of flames. She endured the burning pain and swallowed the blood that almost spurted out of her throat, and asked the young man who was slowly walking towards her.

"……without"

"Don't even think about saying it's okay. Your feelings are obvious."

"..."

"That's right, Xiaoqi, just tell me if you have any problem. Although we can't help you right now, it's good to have at least one more person to think of a solution."

"Look, there's a saying that three shoe sellers are worth one..."

"Alas, Yuigahama-san, three heads are better than one."

"Yes, yes, yes. Hehehe, that's what I wanted to say."

"Look, Hikigaya-kun, even Yui-chan figured it out, and you're still not going to tell me?"

In response to Yukinoshita Haruno's question, Hikigaya Hachiman sighed.

[Is my performance so obvious?]

Just when he was about to tell them about the inexplicable irritation in his heart, the Yam Damu spirit stone on his waist suddenly buzzed, sending him an extremely dangerous warning, but before he could react.

The sky suddenly changed.

Thick clouds obscured the stars and the bright moon in the sky, purple-blue electric snakes were running around in the clouds, and fierce hurricanes were blowing across the earth.

However, what was even more terrifying was the cold murderous intent that enveloped everyone present at this moment.

"Hmm? Is this the current Agito?"
