Hikigaya Hachiman is Kuuga?

Hikigaya Hachiman sat on the other side of the girl as usual, took out a girl's comic wrapped in a book cover that was enthusiastically recommended by his sister, and began to read it with relish.

While he was immersed in the plot, Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at him and felt relieved to find that he was still smiling disgustingly from time to time as usual.

[It seems that everything is fine now.]

Letting go of the concern that she had never cared about, the girl continued reading the literary work in her hand as usual.

Thus, the Service Club once again returned to its quiet atmosphere without Yuigahama Yui, a comfortable atmosphere for loners.

------

"Wow~ Yumiko, this is very sweet and soft~ so delicious!"

Yuigahama Yui took a bite of the strawberry cake in front of her, swaying her body with a happy look on her face. Miura Yumiko, who was watching her childlike behavior, smiled gently.

"Haha~ Yui, you really are just like a little kid."

Hearing this, Yuigahama Yui realized her childish side and rubbed the back of her head shyly, "Hahaha ~ Because this is really delicious, Yumiko, you should try it too."

Instead of caring too much about his childish side being seen by his friend, he began to urge the other party to quickly enjoy the delicious food in front of him.

Miura Yumiko's lips formed a smile that the other party couldn't see clearly, "Yes, yes, I'll eat it now."

"Really? It won't run away if you leave it here. I don't know what you're worried about."

As he said this, he picked up the fork and began to taste the delicious food in front of him.

"But of course delicious food should be eaten quickly, right?"

"Yes, yes, you are right."

[Sure enough, Yui has changed a lot since that time. She doesn’t care so much about my expression anymore. This is how good friends are.]

"Hey~ Yumiko, do you feel like it's suddenly a little noisy outside?"

Upon hearing this, Yumiko Miura, who had just taken a bite of the delicious cake and was about to exclaim "delicious", was slightly stunned. She began to shift her attention away from her friends and food and shifted her gaze to the outside of the cake shop.

Soon, people were running with fear on their faces, looking back from time to time, as if the scene of being chased by some ancient beast jumped before their eyes, and they felt an inexplicable palpitation in their hearts for no reason.

She was just about to ask her friend to leave with her quickly, but Yuigahama Yui noticed something even faster and screamed, "Oh no, a little girl fell down" and ran out.

Without having time to think too much, Miura Yumiko chased after him. When she ran to her friend's side, she looked at Yuigahama Yui who was comforting the sobbing little girl with a smile on her face. She found that the others were still running in panic. A terrifying atmosphere suddenly enveloped the entire commercial street, making her shiver unconsciously.

So, Yumiko Miura looked back to see what was making people flee in panic.

Then, she saw a humanoid creature similar to a cheetah, which was surrounded by police cars and was under attack from pistol bullets.

However, judging from the way the other party was slowly walking towards the perimeter of the encirclement, it was easy to conclude that bullets that could easily take human lives were of no use to it.

In an instant, the emotion called fear instantly occupied Miura Yumiko's brain, and she lost control of her body. She clearly wanted to escape, but her body could only stay where it was and trembled continuously.

[Damn it~ My body needs to move quickly, or else…]

The brain tried desperately to give the body the order to escape, but it still didn't obey the command, making Yumiko Miura so anxious that she almost cried.

Fortunately, she did not come out alone today, and fortunately her best friend was a person who looked fragile but was actually very strong inside, otherwise she might have died today.

"Yumiko, run!"

Yuigahama Yui held the little girl in one hand and her friend who had lost the ability to move due to fear in the other hand. She did not flee forward with the main group, but turned directly into the cake shop and entered the mall through it.

"Everyone, hurry up~"

Before he could finish his next words, he was interrupted by a broadcast that echoed throughout the mall.

"Everyone, an unidentified life form has appeared in the shopping street. The police have surrounded it, but for your safety, they cannot use weapons with high lethality. So please evacuate as soon as possible under the guidance of the police and security personnel to provide space for the police to fight."

"Students over there, come here quickly."

Just when Yuigahama Yui was still thinking about her words being overtaken by someone else, a powerful voice sounded not far away, awakening her stopped thoughts.

"Yumiko, let's go quickly."

"Uh-huh."

Yuigahama Yui pulled up Miura Yumiko, whose face still showed fear, and the little girl who was holding her hand tightly, and quickly followed the crowd to carry out evacuation activities under the guidance of the police and security personnel.

"Yui, you are so amazing. You are not afraid at all."

Amid the noisy crowd, Yuigahama Yui heard her best friend's sincere admiration.

She smiled and shook her head, raising her hand that was holding the other person's. "Yumiko, I'm also very scared, but..."

Yumiko Miura looked at the other person's trembling pale hands, and the way he turned back to look at the little girl next to him, and immediately understood the meaning of the words that had not been finished.

[Yeah, there are kids around, and as a high school student I can’t behave too badly!]

Just as he was about to act like a high school student to alleviate the little girl's fear and anxiety, despair quietly entered Miura Yumiko's eyes.

"Clang~"

The sound of glass being violently shattered rang out, and an out-of-control police car swayed left and right as it rushed through the crowd. Fresh lives were knocked into the air in front of her eyes, and hot blood spurted out of their mouths.

Or when being knocked to the ground by something, and being squeezed by a high-speed police car and its own tonnage, the tragic flower explodes instantly.

Scenes that have never appeared in thrillers or horror movies, coupled with the lingering smell of blood in the air, are taking away Miura Yumiko's ability to think with indescribable violence, leaving her standing there in a daze, unable to do anything.

"Yumiko, run!"

In the critical moment, it was still Yui Yui who overcame her fear, held her hand and held the little girl in her arms, preventing her from seeing the horrific scene that would affect the rest of her life.

The reason for her escape was not the rampaging police car, but the fact that the girl clearly saw Zi Meibio Da, who was lying on the roof of the car and was extending his sharp claws to stab the policeman's eyes.

[What should I do? I can't deal with that unidentified life form. Am I really going to die here today?]

[Still want to fight?]

Yuigahama Yui was different from the panicked crowd around her who were running aimlessly with terrified expressions and pushing away everything that stood in their way.

She was always able to find a path that allowed the three of them to pass through, making it feel as if the chaotic crowd was specially reserved for them.

It’s a pity that such a strange scene was not seen by anyone.

------

"Dingling bell~"

A sharp and rapid cell phone ringtone rang from Hikigaya Hachiman's pocket, breaking the long-lost lonely and quiet atmosphere of the Service Club.

Yukinoshita Yukino, who was immersed in the magnificent world depicted in the book in her hand, frowned. She was about to speak sarcastically to him as usual, which would not only make her feel better, but also solve Hikigaya Hachiman's bad habit of refusing to communicate with others. During this daily life without self-awareness, she saw the panic that did not appear on the other's face, as well as the deep sorrow hidden.

Hikigaya Hachiman took a deep breath, as if he had finally made some important decision, and took out his cell phone from his pocket to answer the call.

"It's me... Okay... It's okay. I told you, this is my own decision."

"Stop talking, I'll be there now."

After hanging up the phone, the boy put away his books and put them in his backpack. He said to Yukinoshita Yukino, who was looking at him in a daze, "Yukinoshita, I have something to do and I'm leaving first."

"……OK, all right."

After getting the girl's approval and avoiding the possibility that Hiratsuka Shizuka would find out that he left first and be beaten up by her, Hikigaya Hachiman left the Service Club by running, which could be said to have overturned Yukinoshita Yukino's understanding of him.

"It seems that what happened last night was not accidental. We need to ask Komachi and her family if anything happened."

She did not continue reading the book in her hand, but frowned, wondering what could have caused such a big change in the boy.

"Or maybe he encountered something."

Yukinoshita Yukino thought about the question the other party asked last night and vaguely guessed something, but she lacked the key clues and could not piece together the complete truth.

Since she had decided to accept Hiratsuka Shizuka's commission to improve Hikigaya Hachiman's twisted personality, and also to take care of her members as the club leader, and as a lonely person who sympathized with each other, she did not hesitate too much. She took out her mobile phone and awkwardly contacted Hikigaya Komachi through Line, asking if anything strange had happened last night.

On the other side, Hikigaya Hachiman was hiding in a dark corner. "This should be fine. We should drive the car out next time. Otherwise, it will be too troublesome."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Yaguru belt emerged from his waist, and the Yamdum spirit stone in it emitted a fiery red light. With a buzzing sound, the boy turned from a human into a monster again.

"I remember Riku saying that as long as the brain wants to jump higher, it can switch forms and become the blue dragon form in front of Komachi before."

Hikigaya Hachiman recalls the "instructions" that Rick left in the Yamdum Spirit Stone, and starts desperately trying to "jump higher".

"Buzz buzz~"

The Yam Damu Spirit Stone sensed his thoughts and changed from fiery red to cyan. The armor and compound eyes on its body also turned a nimble and light cyan color.

“It’s pretty simple.”

Hikigaya Hachiman looked at his transformed body and his leg muscles that were stronger than before, then he jumped lightly to the top of the five-meter-high alley, and then jumped all the way to the commercial street in his memory.

"Sure enough, we should drive the hunter out."

On the way, he complained again.

Chapter 11: Gentle Yuigahama Yui

“Aaaaahhhh~ Please, spare me~”

"Yadayo~"

Zi Meibio Da lifted up a middle-aged man with one hand and pierced his heart with his other hand. The man's boiling blood spurted out from the huge wound. Bathed in the hot blood, it silently watched the light of life in the eyes of its prey fade away, and enjoyed itself in the pleasure of killing at the moment.

"really……"

Throwing the corpse aside, Zi Meibio Da looked into the distance and witnessed the scene. While running faster, Linduo, who was wailing miserably, opened his hands slightly.

“This killing feeling is the best!”

After saying this, it lowered its knees slightly and prepared to run. "Okay, the killing desire that was suppressed when I was sealed has been almost vented. Now it's time to start playing the game seriously."

After the voice fell, it looked at the thin young man who was running first in the crowd in the distance.

[one]

With extremely fast speed and good reflexes, he can easily pass through the dense crowd.

[two]

He raised his right hand and grabbed the back of the opponent's neck. Before the young man's brain could analyze the external situation and give him faithful feedback of understanding, he slammed him to the ground.

[three]

Zi Meibio Da casually dragged it along the ground at super speed for a while, and threw the bloody corpse to the side due to the close contact with the ground.

"one!"

Strange Japanese came out of its mouth, and its vertical pupils, belonging to a beast, emitted a scarlet light.

That is the desire for killing!

"Ahhh~"

Sharp and piercing cries of deep despair emanated from the mouths of the people present, but they were of no use at all except for Zi Meibio Da touching his ears in dissatisfaction.

Then, it deliberately slowed down its speed and ran towards the crowd from a distance of about ten meters, making a roar like a wild beast.

Out of fear of unconfirmed life forms and a desire to live, people couldn't help but turn around and run frantically behind them.

“Yui…Yui, I…let’s also run away quickly~”

"If you don't... hurry up... I... we will..."

In the end, Yumiko Miura never uttered that heavy word.

"No, let's wait a little longer. I... huha huha... I want to verify something..."

Yuigahama Yui's face was a little pale, with fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.

"Yui, are you okay? You look so bad..."

Miura Yumiko noticed her friend's abnormality, and she forgot that she was in life and death crisis and began to care about her friend's physical condition.

"It's okay, Yumiko..."

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Yumiko Miura seemed to see a faint light in her friend’s eyes.

"Can you stay here with me and don't move?"

Yuigahama Yui was breathing heavily and looked at Miura Yumiko with a firm look in her eyes. For some reason, she couldn't say no.

"Well, considering the speed of the monster, I can't escape anyway, so I'll just accompany you!"

Perhaps with the idea of ​​throwing the jar into the ground, or perhaps out of trust in her friend, Miura Yumiko just stood there quietly, but her inner fear could be seen from her slightly trembling legs.

"Thank you, Yumiko."

"Humph~ Who makes us friends?"
