Hikigaya Hachiman is Kuuga?

Out of fear of death, she closed her eyes unconsciously and watched death approaching, feeling the arrival of death second by second in bullet time. It would be better to just close her eyes so that death would come faster, at least she would look more peaceful when she died?

When friends and family see the corpse, they can also comfort themselves by saying that the person died peacefully at the hands of the monster and did not suffer any pain, right?

[But I don’t want to die yet!]

In the last second when her vision turned pitch black, she saw the pitch-black claws gradually approaching. She just thought that death would greet her after closing her eyes, but she found that death was not coming. When she was wondering, the answer appeared at the same time.

"The speed has actually increased, but that's all..."

The image he caught when he opened his eyes was that of the stag beetle monster named Kuuga, who was tightly grasping the opponent's claw with his right hand.

"Tick tock tick~"

When Yuigahama Yui lowered her head, she could see red spots of blood on the ground.

For some reason, at this moment she seemed to see a somewhat familiar figure from the back of the monster in front of her.

It just appeared in my mind and disappeared as I shook my head.

She knew very well that the other person was an ordinary person, not a monster hero.

Yes, Kuuga's appearance is indeed hideous and terrifying, and that appearance full of violent aesthetics still scares Yuigahama Yui even now.

But it did not prevent her from feeling the other person's heart hidden under the terrifying appearance.

A gentle heart!

"Stay here and don't move. It will be over soon."

The voice coming from the front was hoarse and low, with a strange echo effect, but Yuigahama Yui caught a hint of tenderness from it.

So, she was not afraid, but nodded heavily, with her usual silly smile on her face.

"I see."

"..."

For some reason, she seemed to hear a helpless laugh coming from Kuuga's mouth.

However, the battle that broke out the next moment quickly threw this doubt behind.

"Take care to protect yourself. I'll try to keep my distance."

The moment the words fell from her mouth, Kuga had already raised his right knee and hit Hei (words omitted) in the stomach. A gust of wind swept in all directions from the contact surface. Even though she had already condensed a protective layer around her body when she heard the warning, Yuigahama Yui still felt the tingling pain from her exposed skin. It was hard to imagine whether she would be blown away directly without that protective layer, thus harming Kuga again.

Therefore, she did not dare to be distracted at all and focused all her attention on how to strengthen the protective layer around her body to avoid becoming a stupid teammate who helped the enemy.

------

At this moment, Hikigaya Hachiman felt that his body was becoming lighter and lighter, and his movements became more flexible. The Xiao Hei and Xiao Lan, who were originally blurry in his vision, also began to become gradually clear, even though their movements were gradually slowing down.

This feeling was very strange. If I had to explain it, it was just like playing a game. His level was skyrocketing at an incredible speed. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how he went from being unable to take the beating at the beginning, to passively taking the beating, then occasionally resisting, and finally becoming evenly matched.

Although he really wanted to understand the reason for his sudden increase in strength, his top priority now was to protect Yuigahama Yui, so he suppressed his curiosity and fought with Xiao Hei and Xiao Lan who were already beginning to be the ones being beaten.

With each punch and kick, the opponents began to retreat, and the sealing power that penetrated their bodies from the hands and feet became more and more handy. There was no need to concentrate on the amount, as he could do it at will.

Faced with Hikigaya Hachiman who was strangely getting stronger, Xiao Hei and Xiao Lan were already close to death under his violent attacks and the effects of the sealing energy that could cause stiffness when hitting their bodies.

Finally, the sealed energy accumulated in the body reached a certain amount. They were no longer in a rigid state, but stopped completely and could not move.

The brain frantically gave the body orders to move, but the body was unable to break the shackles imposed on it and could only helplessly accept the fact that it was about to die.

Otherwise, could they, who were speechless, kneel down and beg for mercy when Hikigaya Hachiman, who had already made a powerful move and was kicking them in the air, moved his legs and ran towards them?

The flying kick hit Xiao Hei in the front, and the ferocious force kicked him and Xiao Lan behind him away. At the moment when he bounced a few times on the ground to stop, the words "Linduo" representing suppression burned on his body surface, acting as the ignition point to detonate the sealed energy in Xiao Hei's body. Due to the same attributes and being too close, an incandescent halo also appeared on Xiao Lan's head, which turned into a gorgeous orange-yellow spark under the sudden burst of sealed energy in his body.

In Yuigahama Yui's eyes, the figure full of violent aesthetics against the backdrop of the orange-yellow flames behind him was so handsome and gave her an incomparable sense of security.

"Stop sighing. Can you still go?"

"Eh?"

Hikigaya Hachiman sighed inwardly when seeing Yuigahama Yui, who unconsciously spoke out her inner thoughts and looked as silly as usual.

"Can I still leave?"

This time the girl, who was not distracted, finally heard clearly. She said yes while trying to stand up from the ground. However, she had already collapsed once this afternoon due to excessive use of her superpowers, and her condition was so serious that she needed to go to the hospital. Not long ago, she had experienced several life-and-death explosions, and she had lost the strength to stand up. She lost her strength before she was halfway up, and was about to fall. She was so scared that she closed her eyes, and then she felt the familiar warm arms again.

"I'll carry you back and show you the way."

The cold, hoarse voice with an echoing effect, coupled with the hideous and violent appearance, in the eerie and deserted factory at this moment, was a scene from a thriller, but it made Yuigahama Yui smile sweetly.

"Well, that's up to you."

There was no fear in her heart, and no danger signals came from her brain. In addition, the Sora in front of her was her savior who had saved her twice. Yuigahama Yui, who was kind and gentle in her heart, would not resist such an existence.

Yes, the world of fools is that simple.

You are good to her and you are a good person if you save her. She will not change this simple original intention based on your appearance.

Of course, the premise is that she doesn't know that you did something bad.

Based on this, isn't it natural that the girl named Yuigahama Yui believes that Kuaga will not hurt her?

[You are such an idiot!]

Hikigaya Hachiman sighed in his heart, then jumped up at the girl's scream. His body began to change into the sky blue color of a blue dragon. Like an ancient Chinese knight, he used the building as a stepping stone and jumped in the direction Yuigahama Yui said.

[I really wish I were a ninja. I could hide myself without worrying about my whereabouts being exposed. I could assassinate Gurongi without changing my form to get better jumping ability. With the power of the Yam Damu Spirit Stone, I could also create a bunch of weapons.]

[Why doesn't Rixon have a ninja form? It's too inconvenient to switch between four forms.]

Since he knew that his life was no longer threatened by death, his tense nerves suddenly began to relax. After Yuigahama Yui pointed out the route to the destination, he fell into a deep sleep. So, with nothing to do, Hikigaya Hachiman began to have wild thoughts again.

Otherwise, it would be really difficult for him to calm down looking at the face sleeping in his arms.

It’s not that I’m afraid of turning into a wolf, but I’m afraid that my life resume will be once again covered with thick ink that cannot be erased and will “pollute people’s eyes” every time I think about it.

The road is not long.

Relying on one of his own skills - random thoughts, Hikigaya Hachiman finally sent Yuigahama Yui home, and jumped onto the roof of the opposite room, waiting for her to wake up and return home safely.

The door was pushed open the moment he landed on the roof, and a girl who looked like an older version of Yuigahama Yui, with a dangerous hairstyle, walked out. She was holding a bag of garbage in her hand, and it seemed that she was going to take it out.

"Honey, I'm out taking out the trash. Please call Yui to see where she is. If she's nearby, I'll come over..."

Yuigahama's mother had a gentle smile on her face, but when she saw the glaring red color on the lining of the white shirt that was leaning against the door, which affected her beauty, she felt panic rising up in her heart. She quickly opened the door and rushed forward, her voice becoming sharp and choked with emotion.

"Yui~ What's wrong with you..."

The voice was too loud and carried the heavy mood of its owner. It reached the ears of Hikigaya Hachiman, who had just landed on the roof and had not yet had time to adjust. It distracted him, and coupled with his continuous battles today, even though the Yam Damu Spiritual Stone had been healing him, his body was still greatly damaged. He accidentally lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"Plop~"

Hikigaya Hachiman had come to his senses in mid-air and made evasive moves, landing in a handsome posture that is widely recognized by the public in anime, movies and TV dramas, commonly known as a superhero landing.

"Un-unconfirmed life form?"

Before I had time to admire my own quick reflexes and my handsome appearance at the moment, that familiar yet unfamiliar voice fell into my ears.

He stood up from the ground in silence.

"You, don't come over here, I-I won't let a monster like you hurt my daughter..."

Yuigahama's mother held her "unconscious" daughter tightly behind her, preparing to protect her daughter at all costs, and to buy time for her husband who should have called the police after hearing her deliberately amplified voice.

But she found that the unidentified life form mentioned in the news, who was killing people profusely, stood up, turned around, jumped onto the roof opposite, and disappeared from her sight. The whole process was done in one go, and it seemed that it had no intention of attacking their family at all.

However, the unidentified life form murders that occurred in the commercial street yesterday and today, the tragic conditions of the dead, and the wailing of their relatives and friends were still vivid in her mind, making her not believe that absurd judgment at all.

However, as she looked at the receding figure, she really felt like she had done something wrong.

It's still that kind of unforgivable intense guilt and regret.

Chapter 17: Further Enlightenment

"I am back!"

Hikigaya Hachiman lowered his head, pushed open the door with a bag of exercise books and snacks in his hands, and looked at the entrance door nervously, and found an unexpected situation - his sister, who should have been standing at the entrance door with her hands on her hips, questioning why he came home so late, was not there at the moment.

This result hurt Hikigaya Hachiman, who had prepared a lot of words and even a "bribe". It was more hurtful than saving someone's daughter but being called a monster by the other person's family.

Because, he, Hikigaya Hachiman, is an out and out, hopeless sister-con! ! !

At this moment, he felt that the world had turned gray and he didn't know how he walked to the living room.

Fortunately, the world was still very friendly to him. The colorful colors returned to the boy's eyes again when he saw the food on the dining table that had cooled down but still retained the state it was in when it was served, and the girl who was leaning on the dining table with her hands and calling softly.

"You're such an idiot. I told you not to wait for me to come back, but you ate first. And you'll catch a cold if you fall asleep like this."

Those rotten dead fish eyes were filled with crystal tears.

It's just that he was a bit tsundere and awkward, so he didn't let his emotion stay for too long, nor did he show it to his sister. Instead, he behaved like a straight man as usual and directly woke up Hikigaya Komachi, who was dreaming, smiling foolishly and drooling.

"Hey~ Komachi, hurry up and get up to eat."

“Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~ Brother, you’re back?”

Hikigaya Komachi, whose sweet dream was disturbed, did not show any anger. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, stretched herself, and with a slightly dazed look on her face, she asked her brother who had already served her the meal.

"Yeah, come eat, I bought your favorite dessert."

Hikigaya Hachiman took out the cake he bought as a "bribe" and placed it in front of his sister. "Okay, eat quickly. I'm too tired today. I want to go to bed early."

"Then let Komachi do the dishes. Brother, you should go to bed early."

"Then thank you for your help. I am really touched, brother."

"Hehe~ That's because of the dessert."

[Good, successfully diverted attention.]

Taking a secret glance at his sister who was shaking her head and humming a cheerful tune with a bright light in her eyes, Hikigaya Hachiman breathed a sigh of relief and was very glad that his operation was successful. Otherwise, facing the questioning of his sister who knew him best, he honestly had no confidence that he could hide it.

Therefore, when he woke up Hikigaya Komachi, he put steaming rice and dessert in front of her and said that he was very tired today. He cut off her possible questioning before she was still confused and had no time to use her brain, which he thought was not very smart.

The strategy here mainly takes advantage of his sister's love for him. Although it is despicable, the starting point is for the good of his sister, so it cannot be said to be despicable.

Besides, who can say that he isn’t tired after fighting for so long?

"I'm stuffed."

"So fast, it seems that you are really tired today, brother, the hot water is not yet..."

Hikigaya Hachiman raised his hand to interrupt his sister, "No, I'm too tired today, and it's nice to take a cold shower once in a while."

"Can……"

Before Hikigaya Komachi could finish her words, she saw her brother waved his hand and left the dining room.

"But it's so late now and you're still taking a cold shower. Aren't you afraid of catching a cold? The weather is starting to get colder now."

Glancing at the wall clock that showed 6:45, the girl frowned, "By the way, Komachi, did you forget something?"

She folded her hands over her chest, closed her eyes, and carefully searched her brain for memories, trying to recall the forgotten things, but she found that she could not remember even a single fragment.

"Well, forget it, finish eating and wash the dishes, and Komachi should go to bed soon!"

After a while, the lights in the Hikigaya family's living room went out, and a figure appeared in it. He tiptoed to the wall clock, stretched out his hand, and relying on his enhanced eyesight under the cold moonlight, adjusted the time on it back to the correct time - 9:30.

After doing all this, he quickly ran back to the bedroom and wiped the non-existent cold sweat, "Huh~ Fortunately, Komachi is an idiot, otherwise this would be really dangerous."

Naturally, this person is undoubtedly Hikigaya Hachiman. It is impossible for him to return home so early. Not to mention the time he was unconscious after defeating Zi Meibio Da, he also had to fight with Xiao Huang after waking up, and then protect Yuigahama Yui, and fight with Xiao Hei and Xiao Lan. He only won the opponent because he suddenly became strong at the last moment. He had been passively taking the beating before that. How could it be possible that only more than an hour had passed?

The missing time was just adjusted by him, and the reason was just because he didn't want his sister to worry, and he also wanted to experience the pain of not being able to get used to it again.

"But, I feel like Komachi was too stupid this time. She didn't even notice that so much time had passed. Or was she simply sleepy?"

The action of scratching the back of his head caused the wound on his body to move, causing him to gasp. He pulled up his shirt to look at the intricate wound and grinned, "It seems that I can't go to bed too early today, otherwise it will be difficult to explain the red color when I wash the quilt."

"You can't say it's a non-existent red dye, right?"

Hikigaya Hachiman carefully observed the wounds on his body and found that it would take some time for them to heal completely. He planned to sort out all the information that Rick left in the Yamdum Spirit Stone first. After all, all he did the night before was psychological counseling and a quick glance at the information, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

The priority the night before was to adjust one's mindset, and the task tonight is to understand the dangers that exist in this seemingly peaceful society.

As for what he did last night? Didn't he make up his mind to wipe out the entire Gurongi clan and successfully kill Zi Qiangmo Gu?

There's definitely no time to figure this out.

Now that he had made the decision, he began to browse the information within the Yamdum Spirit Stone.

Of course, watching these things is similar to learning, so he skillfully put on his headphones, played his favorite music, and took a sip of his favorite Max coffee.

Suddenly, it felt right.
