Hikigaya Hachiman is Kuuga?

Therefore, Chisaka Mari's injuries now have time to heal slowly.

"Wow~ Let go of my wife, you monster~"

Suddenly, a loud roar came from beside Yuigahama Yui. She subconsciously looked over and found that the husband in Chisaka Mari's memory, Chisaka Kenjiro, was rushing towards her at a very fast speed.

She subconsciously jumped to avoid the opponent's attack, preventing him from accidentally hitting her to death. She landed and looked at Kenjiro Chisaka, who was protecting his unconscious wife with his arms outstretched. Even though his legs were trembling slightly with fear and his figure was a little embarrassed because he had just fallen to the ground and was getting up, she suddenly realized that the anger and fear in the other's eyes were directed at her.

"No, I don't mean to..."

"You monster, stay away from my parents~"

[I hurt her because I wanted to help her heal her wounds. I am not a monster.]

Before she could finish these words, a rock hit Yuigahama Yui hard on the head. The sudden attack made her stare blankly at the child who threw the rock at her - Chisaka Nagata.

"Yongta, take mom away quickly. Dad will hold this monster back."

"But, Dad, you..."

"Don't worry, Dad is very strong, he will be fine. We still have to celebrate Mom's birthday later, right?"

The farewell words that an ordinary father says to his son when facing an invincible monster actually happened before Yuigahama Yui's eyes at this moment.

As a gentle girl, she couldn't help crying whenever she saw the scenes of life and death in movies and TV dramas recently due to her own reasons.

And now, in front of the father and son, Chisaka Kenjiro and Chisaka Eita, she, who is an image of a monster who kills without blinking an eye, is also showing signs of crying.

"hu~hu~hu~"

Yuigahama Yui took a few deep breaths and suppressed the more chaotic emotions in her heart. Then she stretched out her right hand and pointed at the unconscious Chisaka Mari.

When Kenjiro Chisaka saw the pure white light emerging from her right hand, he thought she was going to use the light wave to kill his wife, so he rushed forward without thinking, hoping to divert the light wave to another place before it was emitted, so that he would have time to take his wife away with his son.

"Yongtai, take mom away quickly~"

While running, Chisaka Kenjiro's voice was very complicated.

"Dad~"

The seven-year-old Chisaka Nagata did not help his unconscious mother leave as his father wished. Instead, he stretched out his right hand towards his father who was running towards the monster. Two lines of tears flowed from his face which was distorted by fear. The words that came out of his mouth were so miserable that Yuigahama Yui's right hand trembled, and her legs even became weaker than before. She seemed to be about to fall to the ground in an instant.

However, she knew very well that she couldn't do that.

She leaped forward to avoid Chisaka Kenjiro's attack, and the power of light passed through his body and covered the unconscious Chisaka Mari, healing the scratches on both of them.

"Ah?"

Kenjiro Chisaka, who fell to the ground and felt a burning pain all over his body, suddenly felt warm all over and the pain from the wound no longer spread to his pain nerves.

He stood up and stared at the place where his arm was scratched. He found that the wound had completely healed and even the blood had disappeared. This scene made him understand the purpose of the pure white light covering his body, and he also understood what he had done.

He looked at the hideous and terrifying longhorn beetle monster not far ahead, whose right hand was still emitting pure white light and healing the wounds on himself and his wife. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

However, the words were stuck in my throat and I couldn't utter them.

He lowered his head and dared not look at the other person.

"Hmm? Keep an eye on Yongtai to see if he has any superpowers. Don't let him use them carelessly, or else he'll be attacked by monsters again?"

The voice from his wife made him look up. He quickly stood up and ran to his wife's side. "Honey, are you awake? Are you okay?"

"Hey? Why are you here, husband?"

After waking up, Mari Chisaka stared blankly at her husband who should have been at work but suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Wow, wow, mom, I thought I would never see you again."

However, before she could hear her husband's answer, her son, who was supposed to go to school, suddenly cried and threw himself into her arms.

Although she was very confused about the situation at the scene, she still hugged her son and whispered comfort. When he stopped crying, Chisaka Mari remembered the longhorn beetle monster who tried her best to save her, and hurriedly asked her husband: "By the way, husband, have you seen a monster who looks similar to the longhorn beetle? She just tried her best to save me. Since I am fine now, it must be because she saved me. I want to say thank you to her!"

No matter how terrifying Yuigahama Yui's appearance as Gills was, her figure that was desperately trying to protect herself made Chisaka Mari forget her appearance, and even beautified her appearance in her vision.

After all, this is a life-saving grace!

She is not the kind of person who would not be grateful to someone because of her appearance even though someone risked their life to save her.

“…It’s gone.”

She was answered by her husband's deep voice.

"Gone? Why did you leave?"

"I thought it was a monster that wanted to hurt you, so..."

Even though her husband didn't explain the rest of the words, Chisaka Mari understood what they meant, but she didn't scold her husband indiscriminately.

Because, she was also the one who called Yuigahama Yui a monster.

Therefore, she is not qualified.

"I really want to say thank you and sorry to her!"

So, she looked up at the sky which was dark for some reason and whispered this.

Chapter 195: The Girl's Fear, the Boy's Comfort

The sky gradually darkened. Yuigahama Yui, who had returned to human form, rode the Gills Raider aimlessly towards the wilderness and finally stopped on a lawn.

She took off her helmet and lay on the soft grass. She took out her cell phone and opened a forum related to Unkown. She randomly clicked on one and posted the photo that Yumiko Miura had taken of her transforming into Gills with a blank background without any iconic objects, with the title "New monster discovered, so scary~".

Then, she bit her lower lip lightly, staring at the phone screen intently, her hands turning slightly pale.

A comment appeared in it shortly afterwards.

"Wow~ This is scary. Is the friend who posted the photo okay? Is he injured?"

"Why did another monster appear? Can't this disgusting thing die quickly?"

"Damn it! Can't the police just deal with these monsters quickly? I won't dare go out on the street anymore. Who knows if I'll die when I go out?"

"That is to say, can't these monsters just die quickly?"

Before Yuigahama Yui could reply, eye-piercing sentences appeared on the phone screen one after another. Trickles of blood flowed from her lower lip and slid down her pale chin.

She didn't reply to the man. She put her right hand holding the phone aside and put her left hand on her eyes. "Monster? Is this what it feels like? It seems to be more painful than when I was a child~"

Words came out of his mouth with a slight tremor.

"Xiao Qi, when you sent me home last time, you must have felt worse than me, right?"

For Yuigahama Yui, who once boasted to her good friends about her superpowers in elementary school and was called a freak by them, to be honest, she thought she should be able to resist what just happened.

However, the piercing pain that still lingered in her heart and the grievance and anger that lingered in her brain told the girl clearly.

She is not as strong as she thinks.

After all, she was supposed to appear as a hero, but she was called a monster twice. There was nothing to complain about. She herself knew how terrifying Gills' appearance was.

However, as someone who had just risked her life to save someone, she was called a monster by the other person's family while she was treating him, and was pelted with stones by children. She looked like a typical villain in film and television dramas who wantonly slaughtered humans, which made her feel more or less unhappy.

Of course, what broke her heart the most was the hateful look in the child's eyes. The hatred that naturally appeared towards the monster that might have hurt his mother made Yuigahama Yui's heart very painful.

Children's innocent emotions are often the most touching, which naturally includes malice.

Although she has experienced hardships, big and small, that ordinary people may never face in their entire lives, she is ultimately still just a high school girl at an age where she is very emotionally sensitive, so it is natural that she feels painful about this experience.

"You should calm down quickly and not let Xiaoqi and the others worry too much. I also roughly understand what the test this time is."

Yuigahama Yui slapped her cheeks hard, feeling her brain gradually being consumed by anger and the tyranny that was slowly growing.

These thoughts came to me gradually after I saw those posts on the forum just now, which called for her to die soon and said that she was disgusting.

Thinking about the side effects of the [Eye of the End] before, she realized that Douzhen's goal was to see if she could resist the violent thoughts and not harm humans.

"And, if my guess is correct, I may use the Eye of the End more and more often in the future. Things like what happened today will definitely continue to happen, and I may even control the situation in which the person I rescued has ill intentions towards me."

As a student who relied on her own efforts to be admitted to Sobu High School, which has a very high deviation value, Yuigahama Yui, although her intelligence usually seems very subtle or even too stupid in front of Hikigaya Hachiman and Yukinoshita Yukino, but if she can't even figure out such an obvious public question, then she thinks she might as well jump into the river and commit suicide, she can't afford to lose face.

"It seems that this is really a difficult situation. Judging from what happened just now, the cheating method I used last time will not work anymore."

Although she guessed the content of the test, she still didn't have much confidence.

Because only she herself knows how dangerous she was last time. The kind of thing that encourages you to destroy everything all the time, and makes you watch your body being destroyed without being able to stop it, and even makes your soul feel happy while it is being destroyed, is really too much of a test for your will as a human being.

Not to mention this time, you saved a bunch of people, but not only didn't you get any thanks, but they also called you a monster. Everyone around you told you to die. This was due to people's deep malice.

The difficulty level suddenly increased to a nightmare level. It would be a lie to say I wasn't worried.

"Forget it, let's go back, otherwise Xiaoqi and the others will worry."

There is no use thinking too much, what is coming will eventually come.

Yuigahama Yui stood up from the ground, and when she came to her senses, she found that a very familiar person had appeared behind her unknowingly.

"Little~Stand..."

"I was wondering why you haven't come back for so long. So you're worried about these things?"

After Yuigahama Yui dealt with Wolf Master and helped Chisaka's family heal the lake, Hikigaya Hachiman woke up and learned about the current situation from Miura Yumiko and the others.

He sensed the power of light in Yuigahama Yui's body and realized that she was fine. After comforting them, he was worried about why she hadn't come back for so long. He explained the situation to Hiratsuka Shizuka and rushed to the place where the power of light was sensed via the hunter.

Looking at the girl who was secretly worried, he was smart enough not to disturb her. Instead, he used the skill of "Human Observation" to obtain information about the girl's condition.

Therefore, he was able to guess the general ins and outs of the matter, and naturally understood why Yuigahama Yui was so depressed.

"Hey hey hey ~ Are we exposed?"

Yuigahama Yui scratched the back of her head a little embarrassedly.

Hikigaya Hachiman walked up to her and said, "Hey, Yuigahama, what do you think it takes to be considered a human being?"

"Ok?"

The sudden question left the girl very confused.

“I think the way to judge a person is not by the outside, but by the inside.”

Hikigaya Hachiman did not respond to her plan, but instead began to explain his own views on what it means to be a human being.

"Some people look similar to us, but because of their different experiences, they commit all kinds of heinous and horrific things, and they don't regard others as the same as themselves at all."

"Instead, they treat everyone except themselves or the people they cherish as a kind of infinitely renewable resource, toys that they can manipulate as they please."

"Do you think such a person can be called a human being?"

Hearing this, Yuigahama Yui already roughly understood what Hikigaya Hachiman was going to say.

[But that's not enough. Its side effects and maliciousness are not so easy to overcome.]

It’s not that the girl is too pessimistic, but she is very clear about the difficulty of the test, so she understands that she is still far from passing it.

She certainly wouldn't give up, but she wouldn't blindly believe that she could definitely pass, otherwise that arrogance would be the reason she fell into the abyss.

Precisely because we are aware of the importance of the test, we need to treat it with greater caution.

“So, whether you are a human or a monster does not depend on your appearance, but on your heart.”

As soon as Hikigaya Hachiman saw the girl's expression, he realized that these words were not enough to help her, but he didn't care too much.

After all, he is not a king of verbal persuasion, nor does he have the other's strong personal charm, so he just needs to do what he can do as a human being.

"If you think you are human, then no matter what you look like, you are still human."

"It's not others who decide all this, but you yourself."

When he said this, he raised a finger and said, "This is the first point."

Yuigahama Yui nodded to show that she understood.

[That’s right, whether I am a human or a monster is up to me, and the one who decides all this is me, not someone else.]

She looked at the young man in front of her with burning eyes.

[Like Xiaoqi, his power and that of the Gurongi clan all came from the Yamdum Spirit Stone, but because of their different choices, one became a warrior who protected humans, while the other became a monster that slaughtered its former kind.]

"The second point is that you need to clearly understand what your fighting beliefs are. Whenever you feel that you can't hold on, go back to this starting point and think about it. In this way, you will find that other difficulties are not so insurmountable."

"Because the original belief is the purest, isn't it?"

As Hikigaya Hachiman spoke, there was an unnatural hint of nostalgia at the corners of his mouth.

"Those things that have accumulated during this process and come from the outside world are nothing more than dirty fakes used to shake your foundation. They can never defeat the purest truth."

"Haven't you experienced it yourself and witnessed it many times, what kind of power it can unleash?"
