Hikigaya Hachiman is Kuuga?

Facing Kawada Shinichi's sudden outburst of anger, the anger in Toshin's heart disappeared. He looked at the child in front of him who also made him feel distressed, and finally lowered his head.

"Okay, I promise you, I won't interfere in your affairs in the future. I'll wait for you to give me an answer."

[Eh? You agreed right away? As expected, children who have made achievements are treated differently from me.]

"However, I will still intervene in the tests of those Agitos."

"It's up to you. I believe they can pass it."

“…I’ll wait and see.”

Toma's figure began to disappear, and Kawada Shinichi turned around to look at the skeleton on which flesh and blood were slowly growing, and curled his lips.

"Tsk~ You said it so nicely, but in the end you still helped secretly."

"No way, Hachiman is different from us, or do you want to become the other person?"

"Forget it. The weight on his shoulders is much heavier than mine, and I don't have a masochistic streak."

In response to the blurry black shadow's joking words, Kawada Shinichi hurriedly shook his hand to refuse, "Well, now that the goal has been achieved, let's go too, those little girls are coming over."

"Why don't you make it look better? If they come over later..."

"That's not necessary. It's a good thing to let them understand the difficulty of this road. And with such a senior supporting them, they can become stronger, right?"

Kawada Shinichi looked at the skeleton in front of him with a complicated expression, still in a fighting posture, "This posture should be enough for them to remember for the rest of their lives. Even if they think of this posture when they are going berserk, they can wake up from it."

"So, this is good, this is good, this is good..."

As the volume got lower and lower, Kawada Shinichi's figure slowly disappeared.

"Alas~ You said Hachiman has a heavy burden, but aren't you the same?"

The blurry black shadow looked at the direction where his accomplice disappeared and sighed silently.

"A person has survived from ancient times to the present day. Who knows the pain in your heart?"

He walked up to the skeleton-like Hikigaya Hachiman and said, "Hold on a little longer, Hachiman. As long as our plan succeeds, everything will be over. At that time, no matter what kind of life you want, we will satisfy you."

"Because we owe you this."

After saying words that only He, Kawada Shinichi, and Touma could understand, the blurry black shadow left the area where the situation had begun to improve.

After they all left, after a while, in this area where there was only the sound of the howling blizzard, sporadic footsteps finally began to be heard. As the sound got closer to the center, terrified and heartbreaking cries were also heard.

"Bi~Hikigaya-kun?"×2

"That's ~ Xiaoqi?"

Then, a shrill cry echoed.

"Hachiman~"

Chapter 167: Shikuma Science's Black Technology, Hikigaya Komachi Breaks Through the Shackles

"Yang Nao, what's the situation now?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka came to the hospital with disheveled clothes and dirty body. After glancing at the two girls who were lowering their heads, she asked Yukinoshita Haruno who looked uneasy.

"It seems that there is no danger to life. Doctor Sakai, whom the hunter introduced to you, is currently treating you."

Hearing the question, Yukinoshita Haruno forced herself to cheer up.

"So, the weather just now..."

"Yes, it's Hikigaya-kun and Gurongi, the king of the unidentified life form, Daguba, who are fighting."

When she said this, Yukinoshita Haruno subconsciously clenched her fists, and the two girls next to her who had their heads lowered also moved their heads slightly.

"Have you contacted Komachi yet?"

"not yet."

"Then I'll call her first and tell her..."

"No need, I've already told Komachi."

Just as Shizuka Hiratsuka took out her cell phone and found Hikigaya Komachi's cell phone number and was about to dial it, a strange voice suddenly sounded from the corridor.

"you are?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Shikuma Rika who was walking over with a serious expression, and found that she had no impression of him at all. She glanced at Yukinoshita Haruno, as well as Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui who looked up. When she saw that the three girls shook their heads, her eyes began to show vigilance.

No matter what, Hikigaya Hachiman's identity as Kuuga must be kept secret. Otherwise, if it gets out and is known by someone with ulterior motives, it will be a disaster for him.

So, now a completely unfamiliar girl came out, and Hiratsuka Shizuka had to examine her identity.

"I designed your game console, and I made the hunter for you, senior."

This simple sentence, coupled with knowing the hunter's name, made Shizuka Hiratsuka and the others less alert.

But just these words were not enough to reassure them completely. Not to mention that their minds were in a mess because Hikigaya Hachiman was seriously injured and dying, but also the King of Gurongi had just left not long ago. They had no idea what he was thinking. How could they know if the one in front of them was a Gurongi incarnation? After all, he also had a human form.

At this critical juncture, it was no surprise that they were being so cautious, otherwise there wouldn't be a hunter inside.

It's not just because it can help with treatment, it's also because it can fight. Otherwise, if a Gurongi suddenly appears and attacks during treatment, they will really hate themselves.

"Sato Jin, run faster for me~"

Zhixiong Li Ke certainly noticed the suspicion and vigilance in their eyes. Although she praised their performance in her heart, she was not in the mood to waste time with them and just yelled at the person behind her.

"Come on, come on, don't you know how heavy your bag is?"

Soon, Sato Jin pushed open the door and walked in with a large backpack in both hands, and explained to Hiratsuka Shizuka: "Sister Shizuka, what Riko said is true. She has something to help Hikigaya-kun now. Please let us in first."

When Shizuka Hiratsuka heard him say this, she had already guessed the identity of Shikuma Rika, so she nodded and moved aside to block the ward. She also gave the three women a reassuring look, indicating that they were all trustworthy people.

It was very messy, so Shikuma Rika and Sato Jin walked in. However, not long after, the latter came out carrying some delicate-looking small instruments, and fiddled with them under the puzzled gazes of Hiratsuka Shizuka and the others.

"Yoshi~ That's all."

After Sato Jin fixed the instrument in position, he activated an object similar to a remote control held in his left hand with his right hand.

Then, several bright blue rays of light were projected from it, and in a blink of an eye, this narrow hospital corridor turned into a bedroom that looked like a game room, with the figures of Hikigaya Hachiman and Shikuma Rika, and the movement was dynamic and with sound.

“This…this…”

Even though she had already guessed about Shikuma Rika's identity, when this lifelike holographic image appeared before her eyes, Hiratsuka Shizuka was still shocked.

"This is for sending a video to Hikigaya-kun's sister. Sister Jing, please leave with your friends for a while. I need to send a video over first."

After Sato Jin's explanation, they also understood that they were going to send a video to Hikigaya Komachi to prove the authenticity of the statement just made by Shikuma Rika, so they hurriedly walked out of the range of the holographic image and covered their mouths with their hands.

Soon, under his operation, the video of "Hikigaya Hachiman and Shikuma Rika playing games" was sent to Hikigaya Komachi who was waiting for her brother to come back at home.

However, it was obvious that Hikigaya Komachi was not satisfied with just one video and soon sent a video chat.

Sato Jin, who had anticipated this, calmly changed the camera and clicked "accept".

"Brother, how long are you going to play with Sister Science?"

When the four girls heard the familiar voice of Hikigaya Komachi coming from the phone, their hearts instantly rose.

"We'll probably have to play all night. After all, this is the latest masterpiece of science."

"Hey~ Be careful, I'm going to die, Li Ke, please give me some blood."

Under the astonished gazes of the four girls, Hikigaya Hachiman in the holographic image actually gave an answer, and there was no flaw in his expression at all.

"Why, you missed me?"

"Well, I don't know why I feel panicky, so I want you to come back, brother."

Hikigaya Komachi's slightly hoarse voice echoed in their ears. The four girls and one boy felt very heavy-hearted, because they all knew that it was impossible for the boy in the ward to return to the girl and hug her to comfort her.

In an instant, my heart, which had just relaxed, was lifted up again.

After all, they knew very well that someone was a hopeless sister-con and it was impossible for him to give up his sister who confessed that she needed his company at home just for a game.

"Eh? This~"

Just as they were worried, Hikigaya Hachiman in the holographic image showed an embarrassment and carefully looked at the figure of Shikuma Rika next to him.

"Are mom and dad home?"

"Hmm? Mom and Dad are at home! But I just miss my brother..."

"Komachi-chan~"

Suddenly, Zhixiong Li Ke in the holographic image jumped up, and instantly moved to a relatively close distance for a mobile phone. There were ripples in his big eyes that could move people's inner emotions, and his eye sockets were slightly red, which was heartbreaking. As he blinked, two crystal tears quietly condensed in the corners of his eyes, and they stubbornly solidified there while emitting a bright light.

"Please don't let the senior go back, okay? Sister Science encountered something unhappy today, so..."

For some reason, listening to what the holographic image Shikuma Rika said at this moment, the hearts of everyone present trembled violently, and a feeling of pity naturally emerged in their hearts. If it weren't for the string of reason that was pulling them, they would almost agree to the other party's request on behalf of Hikigaya Komachi.

After all, a cute and soft girl is telling you her request with tears in her eyes, and she looks a little desperate because she is afraid that you will not agree and she bites her lower lip.

To be honest, they really felt that their hearts were being judged by their souls.

"Under normal circumstances, I would definitely let you go back, but today..."

The holographic image of Zhixiong Li Ke lowered her head. Perhaps because of the slight trembling of her delicate body, the two tears frozen in the corners of her eyes finally broke free and dripped from her eyes. Perhaps the restraints were completely broken, and drops of crystal tears continued to fall from the shadow of the girl's lowered head.

The slightly glowing tears, the contrast with the shadows, and the girl's sad words, raised the level of inner judgment to a higher level. Guilt and pity were like a continuous tide, constantly washing away the string called reason in the brain.

"That~reason..."

The holographic projection of Hikigaya Hachiman wanted to say something to Shikuma Rika, but he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. He just looked in the direction of the phone screen with some embarrassment.

On the other side, Hikigaya Komachi was struggling with her inner thoughts.

On the one hand, she didn't know why she felt so confused today. An inexplicable irritation swirled in her heart, which then turned into nightmares, which were so real that they could be captured by her five senses. They were nightmares about the death of her dead-eyed brother.

As a result, the feeling of irritability instantly turned into fear, waking her up from her sleep.

The first thing she did was to throw off the quilt and rush out of her room. She knocked on Hikigaya Hachiman's door for a long time, but no one opened it. Just when she didn't know what to do, her parents came over in a hurry and asked what had happened.

"It's nothing, just a nightmare. Just ask your dad to open it."

After learning the reason, Hikigaya's mother glanced at her husband implicitly, and Hikigaya's father nodded when he received her gaze.

"It's okay. I'll find out who the bastard was. He actually dared to make my baby daughter cry."

As he said this, he skillfully took out the key from his trouser pocket and opened the locked door. After seeing the door open, Hikigaya Komachi, who had been paying attention, broke free from her mother's arms and rushed directly to the empty room.

Recalling this scene, Hikigaya Komachi's heart was still beating wildly, worried that the weight on her brother's side would suddenly increase.

At this time, she saw Zhixiong Li Ke on the screen raised his head, smiled with tears in his eyes, turned his head to look behind him, and then a very calm voice sounded.

"Senior, please go back. Science... is fine."

Through the mobile phone screen, Hikigaya Komachi could see the worry and embarrassment in her brother's eyes. When he looked at her for help, she knew that her brother would not come back.

Because she has her parents on her side and only her brother on her side.

Hikigaya's mother, who was next to Hikigaya Komachi, nudged her and whispered, "Komachi, your brother is fine, and mom and dad are at home, so why don't you let your brother..."

[No, I still feel like something is odd, my intuition tells me...]

The rune that Touma gave her glowed slightly, completely calming the fear in her heart.

"Well, brother, you should just play slowly with Sister Science!"

Hearing her words, Shikuma Rika lowered her head, her body trembling slightly, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Thank you, Komachi."

"Brother, take good care of Sister Science, bye~"

"Well, I'm sorry."

After Hikigaya Komachi turned off the video call, she felt much more relaxed. After all, the fear that had been weighing on her heart was gone.

"Mom said you were overthinking it and she didn't believe it. And the science department asked Hachiman to come over so late, so he must have encountered something unhappy, you ah~"

She listened to what her mother said and felt that her brother's reason for going there so late was very reasonable. Moreover, a single man and a single woman were in the same room. To be honest, she was always worried that her brother would not be able to find a wife, so she was still very excited.

So, he put all the previous things behind him and started to act coquettishly with his mother.

"Okay, if you have nothing to do, go back to sleep. It's so late, Komachi, and you have to go to school tomorrow."

"Also, don't make breakfast for that brat tomorrow. I just saw him take his school uniform away. He probably doesn't plan to come back for breakfast."

"Oh, I see."

Afterwards, Hikigaya Komachi, whose inner fear had been calmed, returned to her room to sleep, and under the runes emitting gentle rhythm, she soon fell into a sweet sleep, and had a very beautiful and real dream.

After the Hikigaya couple secretly opened the door and took a look at their sleeping baby daughter, they closed the door, looked at each other, sighed softly, and returned to their room, looking at the ceiling for a long time in silence.
