Hikigaya Hachiman is Kuuga?

"What's so strange about that? I, your brother, am quite attractive, am I not?"

His proud speech did not receive sincere praise from his sister, who responded with a perfunctory "Yes, yes, yes ~ you are right..."

"..."

"However, it is indeed incredible that Liu Mei-chan has such a good relationship with Xiaoqi."

Yuigahama Yui also came over and said with a look of admiration.

"There's nothing strange about it. After all, the girl knows who helped her, and she's not a bad person. There's nothing strange about her getting close to Hikigaya-kun."

Yukinoshita Yukino added.

"Although the approach was not friendly, the result was indeed very good..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka walked over and squinted her eyes at Hikigaya Hachiman. "But don't do the same thing next time. If you don't control the scale well and cause psychological trauma to others, it will be bad. Elementary school students are sometimes very fragile."

"I understand, teacher."

This time he really didn't think it through very well, even though he had made arrangements for the back-up plan, people's wills are not equal.

He believes that others can make it through, but there is no guarantee that they will do as he wishes. Human beings themselves are extremely contradictory beings.

So, he honestly admitted his mistake.

Of course, it cannot be denied that there are still those who do not want to try the Iron Fist of Love.

"It's good that you know. It's getting late. We should go back. Ye Shan and the others have already left."

After hearing her words, Hikigaya Hachiman and others set off for Hiratsuka Shizuka's SUV. After sitting down in the seats they came in, the car started to move back.

While he was in a daze, the car had already stopped at the parking lot near the school. After people got off the car one after another, Hikigaya Hachiman looked at his sister who was yawning beside him and realized that she was still very tired. Just when he was about to go back first, a familiar luxury car stopped beside him. The driver's door was opened, and an old butler who was only seen in movies and TV dramas, who was a standard feature of wealthy families, walked down with an inexplicable sense of comfort and grace, and bowed gently to the stunned Yukinoshita Yukino, saying: "Ms. Yukino, I'm here to take you home."

Hikigaya Hachiman noticed that the girl's originally bright expression turned gloomy. Before he could do anything, a beautiful lady who looked a bit like the girl and had short hair came down with a refreshing smile on her face, which was different from the girl's. "Hello~ Yukino, your sister is here to take you home. It's not a good behavior to leave the house for so long without permission~"

The moment she appeared, the girl's body became very stiff, and her expression became several times colder than usual, causing every word she uttered to carry a chill that froze her heart.

"Why is my sister here?"

Not taking the hostility she showed seriously, the girl's elder sister Yukinoshita Haruno said with a smile: "Who knows?"

Her eyes rolled and stopped at Hikigaya Hachiman. With an ambiguous smile on her face, she walked up to him and said, "I thought you were going out with someone else, but it turned out to be Hikigaya-kun. Tell me, were you guys going on a date? It was a date, right? Now, tell your sister."

Familiar words rang in my ears, and my abdomen was attacked by the same elbow as when we first met.

Hikigaya Hachiman stepped back and dodged the next attack. "We are just participating in the club activities. If there is nothing else, my sister and I will leave first. Sorry!"

After saying that, he ignored his sister who was yelling, "Brother, don't be so anxious, Komachi hasn't said hello yet," and pulled her away from everyone's sight.

"Did I do something wrong?"

For a moment, Yukinoshita Haruno, who thought her social skills were almost at the maximum level, said in surprise.

Only those who were familiar with Hikigaya Hachiman looked at his departing back with meaningful eyes.

[There really is a secret!]

Combining what Hikigaya Komachi said to them, Yukinoshita Yukino and the other two communicated with their eye contact.

------

Still in the abandoned factory, a man wearing a Yin Yang Ji-like outfit and with strange tattoos on his face took a bracelet with a jade pen and drew a few strokes on the counting board of La Dorudo Guna, who was in charge of counting. With a sadistic smile on his face, he said, "280 people in three days."

Hearing this, La Baluba Butterfly frowned, but didn't say anything. She nodded and left with the other Gurongi from the Mei Group who did not participate in Kiruru.

"Hehehe~ This is a good opportunity to try out my enhanced strength..."

Mei·Giga·Gi, who participated in Kiruru this time, transformed into a monster form.

It was a humanoid figure somewhat similar to an octopus, with three pairs of arms emitting a metallic luster. The suction cups on the arms moved slightly as if breathing. Its huge mouth opened to reveal sharp teeth, and sparks were faintly emitted as it swallowed.

"I really want to try it out soon, my stronger power..."

Mei Kiiga Ki said with some obsession, feeling the power in his body which was several times stronger than before he was sealed.

Chapter 37: Continue Training

Hikigaya Hachiman was lying on the sofa in the living room, looking up at the white ceiling with lifeless eyes, replaying in his mind the limousine that he had seen not long ago to welcome Yukinoshita Yukino. Thanks to the transformation of his body by the Yam Damu Spiritual Stone, he could use 4K image quality to observe from all angles and compare it with the limousine that broke his leg in his memory.

"It's the same car, so Yukinoshita knew about it?"

"Her car hit me."

For some reason, when he came to this conclusion through thinking, an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. It was not anger or something, but a more complicated emotion that made him very uncomfortable.

He couldn't tell what this feeling was, but he quickly put it out of his mind. He knew exactly what he should do now.

He tiptoed to the door of his sister Hikigaya Komachi's room like a thief, put his ear to the door and heard a familiar steady breathing sound, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.

Then, he left as he had just done and went to his bedroom to make a simple disguise. He carefully looked around to make sure there was no one around, then turned over and jumped out of the window, heading towards an abandoned factory with few people around as he had done before.

He had carefully checked the place inside and out, and found no signs of anyone living there, so he used this place as a temporary training base so that he could get familiar with the power he now possessed.

Not only that, he was also absorbing Rick's combat experience left in the Yamdum Spirit Stone. Although that big guy only needed two or three moves to deal with other opponents except the final boss, Daguba, he still needed to learn from his high vision.

Because, when he discovered that he could use the Yam Dam Spirit Stone to observe how Rick was fighting, he found that the big guy could easily dodge the opponent's attacks, and each attack fell on the opponent's weaknesses, so it was easy to achieve the effect of a strong attack with an ordinary attack.

This is not without basis. After all, he saw it when Rick was fighting Daguba. The final boss who still gave him a terrifying feeling of oppression even in the picture, felt really weak when facing the big boss Rick.

If I were to describe it, the former is a child with terrifying power who doesn't know how to control it, while the latter is a master-level figure with extremely strong strength, speed, skills, and strategy.

So in the battle, Daguba squandered his strength recklessly. Coupled with the stubborn style of the Gurongi clan, he did not dodge or evade during the fight, and took all of Riku's attacks with his body, which gave rise to the illusion that Hikigaya Hachiman had.

After all, one is tactful and the other is stupid, so it is easy for him to have such thoughts.

Of course, self-awareness has always been his strong point.

He knew very well that if he went up he would only be able to defeat Daguba with one punch, but he didn't see that Daguba was like a babbling kid in Rick's hands, so he thought he could bully him in the same way.

Because, just by looking at that memory fragment of Daguba, he lost the courage to fight. When he retreated, he was completely exhausted, his mind was blank, and he sat on the ground stupidly for an hour.

This shows that Daguba is very scary, and the senior who entrusted the Aguru Belt to him, Riku, is even scarier.

Therefore, he needs to learn from the experience of his predecessors and enrich himself. He doesn't need to become as strong as his predecessors, but at least half of their strength is within his reach, right?

To achieve this goal, he started another day of combat training. Of course, in order to avoid excessive consumption like before, he reduced the time by one hour.

Soon after, this abandoned, unmanned factory began to make creepy noises that made passers-by shudder, as well as strange lights that frightened them, and from then on it became a new urban legend.

----

"Nagaze-kun, how did you harvest today?"

At a pier in Chiba, two middle-aged men were fishing. One of them seemed to have a good catch and winked at his companion next to him with some pride.

"Tian Ze, get out of my way! Don't scare my fish away! I'll catch a big one and use my size to overwhelm you! Humph!"

The uncle named Nagasawa obviously didn't have a good harvest, so he was unhappy with his companions who were showing off to him.

"Hahaha~ Then I'll wait and see~"

Although he was very proud, Uncle Tianze did not speak loudly on purpose. Playing and making noise were part of his life, but he still had principles. He knew that too loud noises would scare away the fish, so he spoke in a very low voice even before.

After saying that, he ignored his companions and began to focus his attention back on the fishing rod, hoping to catch new fish.

[God, please, let me catch a big fish so that I can destroy Tian Ze's prestige.]

Perhaps it was Uncle Nagasawa's prayers, and soon he felt a pulling sensation on his fishing rod. He was instantly cheered up, and his frown relaxed. He began to slowly increase the strength of his hands holding the fishing rod, and was about to use all his strength to hook the fish the next moment, but he found that the fishing rod in his hand was much heavier than he had imagined. He quickly stood up from the small stool, trying to mobilize all his strength to pull it out of the water.

"Wooooooooooooo~ This must be a big one..."

After standing up, Uncle Nagasawa saw a spectacular black shadow gradually hiding under the water. Based on his years of fishing experience, he knew it was obviously a big fish, and he cheered uncontrollably.

Uncle Tianze looked at his shaking hands and the fishing rod that was gradually slipping out of his control. He realized that the big fish in the water was not something Uncle Nagasawa could handle alone, so he quickly stood up and grabbed his waist, "Come on, Nagasawa, let's get that big fish out together!"

"Hahahahaha~ No problem. Just leave it to us~"

The joy of catching a big fish made the two uncles ignore winning or losing, and they started to work together to pull the hooked fish out of the water.

The fact proves that there is strength in numbers. At least the two of them felt that the pulling force was getting lighter and lighter, plus there was a little white exposed above the water, it was obvious that they were about to succeed.

So they used all their strength to make the big creature in the water reveal its true appearance as soon as possible and fill their sense of accomplishment.

"Wow~"

A huge splash of water suddenly hit them, and the pulling feeling on their hands disappeared. Caught off guard, they both fell to the ground.

"Ouch! It hurts so much..."

"It hurts, it hurts. Stop talking. Look at how big that fish is..."

"Yes, yes, look..."

"Tanze, what's wrong with you? Why are you shaking?"

Uncle Nagasawa noticed that his companion was trembling with a look of fear on his face. As he spoke, he looked forward in the direction of his gaze. The moment that terrifying figure appeared in his sight, he also trembled with fear on his face like Uncle Tazawa.

The object that frightened these two uncles was naturally the Mei·Kiiga·Ki who was beginning to perform Kiruru.

"Only two? Never mind. We have plenty of time anyway."

After mumbling to itself for a while, a ball of dark liquid suddenly spurted out of its mouth and landed on the two uncles. Before they could recover from the horror of how they had caught an unconfirmed life form, they lost their lives in an explosion accompanied by blooming sparks.

"Two first."

Mei Kiiga Ki wrote down the number on the magatama on his left wrist, and then walked away. It sensed that there were several humans ahead waiting for it to harvest their lives.

Soon, not far away, brilliant sparks representing the passing of lives bloomed along with the sadistic laughter of Mei Kiiga Ki.

All of this is still unknown for the time being.

Because, everyone who saw it is dead. Since there are no survivors, of course no one would know that an unidentified life form has started committing crimes again, right?

Chapter 38: Preparing for the Future

"Ugh~"

"Brother, are you still tired? I feel like your health is getting worse. You should exercise. I feel like you'll become useless if you stay at home all the time."

Hikigaya Komachi, who had just taken a bite of food, said with a worried look to her brother who was sitting opposite her and looking tired.

Thinking about his physical condition when he went to Chiba Village, which was even worse than that of a junior high school student like me, and his neet nature of refusing to go out unless it was something important, I felt that I should pay more attention to his health, so I persuaded him.

However, based on her understanding of her brother, she did not hold too much hope and only mentioned it subconsciously.

What if a miracle happens?

"Well, Komachi is right, I will get up and exercise tomorrow, brother."

"Ah~ I knew it, brother, if you continue like this..."

Hikigaya Komachi did not take her brother's words to heart and was preparing for a futile lecture as usual. Halfway through, her brain seemed to finally figure out the meaning of the words in his words. The shock in her heart was so great that she couldn't help but jump up from the chair. The sudden burst of force caused the chair to fall to the ground, and the collision with the ground made a loud noise.

However, the girl's high-pitched voice quickly covered it up.

"Brother, you actually agreed to go out and exercise?"

After shouting loudly, she ignored the twitching mouth of Hachiman Hikigaya across from her and wiped away the non-existent tears from her eyes. She sighed like a parent who saw her naughty child finally grow up and become sensible: "Wow, wow, wow~ Komachi is so happy. My good-for-nothing brother has finally become sensible."

"Come on, come on~ Since you've decided to exercise, then eat more. Otherwise, you won't have the energy to exercise..."

As she said this, she rushed into the kitchen, and when she came back she was carrying a lot of dishes, which she placed in front of Hikigaya Hachiman without saying a word. Then she sat down opposite him, supporting her chin with her hands, and looked at him with a happy smile on her face. Her little canine teeth were quite dazzling under the light.

"Hey, Komachi-san, it's just a workout, are you so excited?"

Hikigaya Hachiman rolled his eyes, "It makes me seem like I was useless before."

"Yes, yes, yes~ It's Komachi's fault, but as a man, once you say something, you can't take it back!"

"Don't worry, when has my brother ever broken his promise to you?"

"Yes, I have……"

Hikigaya Hachiman's face froze.

"And there are many more..."

A trace of cold sweat slowly flowed down his forehead.

"Do you need Komachi to give an example?"

Looking at his sister with a kind smile, Hikigaya Hachiman felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart and quickly changed the subject, "The weather is nice today. Let's go out for a walk after dinner, and then go for a good run to get a feel for it."

He encouraged himself with great enthusiasm, "Yoshi~ I need to eat faster!"
