Hikigaya Hachiman is Kuuga?

"clear."

The hunter who was in tune with Hikigaya Hachiman knew what to do without much explanation. He rushed over and tied up the snake angel before it could figure out the situation. He used the bandages engraved with mysterious runes on his body to tie it up and flew into the sky.

After reaching a certain height, they untied it, leaving the snake angel, who had just been standing on the ground but now was suddenly in mid-air, to wonder what this sudden change was.

Hikigaya Hachiman, who had been prepared on the side, directly pulled the trigger of the Pegasus crossbow and shot an energy wave that condensed a large amount of sealing energy at it. He was even afraid that the attack power was not enough, so he fired several more shots in succession.

Golden "suppression" marks that burned like flames appeared on the body of the snake angel. The irresistible energy destroyed everything inside it, and a pure white halo appeared above its head.

Thus, the snake angel, who was already too weak for Hikigaya Hachiman, was killed by a surprise attack and turned into a gorgeous spark in the air, ending his life which could not be considered wonderful or not.

The middle-aged man, who was unaware that he had walked around the gate of death, was still talking to the person on the other end of the phone. Through his abnormal hearing, Hikigaya Hachiman knew that the other party was showing off to his wife that he had negotiated a good insurance deal and got a good commission, so he could have an extra dish in the evening to celebrate. He also promised to buy a doll for his five-year-old daughter as an apology for not being able to accompany him for several days due to work.

"I can't rest assured yet. There should be more than one snake angel."

Knowing that the angels were a gang, Hikigaya Hachiman did not take it lightly. He pulled the lever of the Pegasus crossbow, inputting the new energy obtained from the second-level hunter mode into it, pulled the trigger and hit the middle-aged man, creating a special sealing energy in his body that would sense the presence of angels around him, alert him to their arrival and protect him for one minute.

"It seems that I really owe Yuigahama a huge favor. I didn't expect the power of light to be so useful. I'll have to study it carefully when I get back."

"If it hadn't been sensed so suddenly, it could have been more detailed, but it's enough for now."

Hikigaya Hachiman found that the power of light was unexpectedly useful. He decided to pretend to sleep when he got back and study more uses for it. At that moment, the sound of falling water behind him finally stopped.

Switching back to his omnipotent form, he turned around and faced the girl who refused to listen, "Didn't I tell you to fight and then go back to live your own life?"

"I...I just wanted to come over and help."

Yukinoshita Yukino, who was in the wrong, spoke in a low voice.

"You are not fit for combat."

"Why? I'm also very good."

Hearing that her senior could see through her, the girl immediately became a little excited.

"I said you were unfit for combat, I didn't say you were weak."

"How do you know I'm not fit to fight?"

Yukinoshita Yukino felt very uncomfortable with the feeling of being looked down upon by others.

"Then do you want to fight me? I lost to you last time because I was not in a good mental state. Now I have regained my sanity and I can definitely beat you."

Even though she has lost her memory, Yukinoshita Yukino is still a proud person and does not allow herself to be looked down upon by others, so she challenges Hachiman Kigaya to a fight.

"If you want me to listen to you, you have to show me your strength, right? Otherwise, how would I know if you can save people from those monsters?"

[Alas~ It seems that regardless of whether she has lost her memory or not, Yukinoshita is a person who never gives up! ]

Even though his eyes were covered by the fiery red compound eyes and he couldn't see what the girl's eyes looked like at the moment, Hikigaya Hachiman, who believed he had some understanding of Yukinoshita Yukino, could still imagine that those dark eyes were burning with passionate fighting spirit.

He sighed silently in his heart, knowing that if he didn't fight now, he wouldn't be able to convince the girl to return to her normal life and no longer get involved in the battle with the angels with just words.

[It looks like I'll have to use some heavy hands later. Judging from her physical condition today, the injuries she sustained yesterday should have healed long ago.]

[In this case…]

For some reason, Yukinoshita Yukino felt an extremely dangerous feeling from Hikigaya Hachiman in front of her, as if her life and death depended on the other party's thought. Her whole body was tense, and her mind was subconsciously highly concentrated, paying close attention to the other party's every move.

An invisible pressure was like a huge mountain, pressing heavily on her body. The air became much thicker at this moment, making it difficult for her to breathe normally.

Her heart was beating wildly at a speed that was extremely fast compared to usual, as if doing so would speed up the blood circulation in her body, allowing the blood that seemed stagnant to her to flow again and supply warmth to her cold body.

[What the hell is going on? The battle hasn't even started yet, but why do I feel like I've died more than once?]

Fear came towards her like a huge wave, and Yukinoshita Yukino felt her brain become dizzy, as if she had lost the existence called self.

"Okay, I'll fight you, and if you still want to fight after that, I won't stop you."

Hikigaya Hachiman didn't know what kind of fear he had brought to Yukinoshita Yukino, but understanding the girl's stubbornness, he agreed to her request.

"However, you'd better fight with the intention of killing me. Otherwise, you won't have any chance of winning. And if you don't have that intention, don't even think about fighting those monsters, because our fight with them is a battle of life and death."

"Either we die or they die!"

As he spoke, the dangerous look that was considering how to teach her a severe lesson without affecting her daily life disappeared when Hikigaya Hachiman explained. At the same time, the terrifying pressure that shrouded Yukinoshita Yukino also immediately dissipated.

If it weren't for her still violently beating heart, her gradually warming body, and her legs almost going weak on the ground, Yukinoshita Yukino would have felt that everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

It was not until now that she realized that the senior in front of her was not only scary in appearance, but his strength was also terrifying, completely worthy of his hideous and terrifying appearance.

However, the girl is a kind-hearted person with a strong sense of justice after all. She does not allow herself, who has the ability to prevent the crisis from happening, to go back and be an ordinary person pretending to know nothing and being protected. Instead, she becomes a guardian who protects the happiness of others and their bright future.

So, in response to Hikigaya Hachiman's suggestion, she nodded heavily, "Okay, no problem!"

"Then follow me, this is not the place to fight."

Hikigaya Hachiman jumped onto the Hunter and motioned for the girl to get up and stand firmly. Then the Hunter under his feet sped away and soon stopped at an empty mountain peak.

"Okay, there aren't many people here, and it's spacious enough, is that ok?"

"no problem."

After both sides were sure, they jumped off the hunter and took fighting stances while keeping a certain distance.

Chapter 84: Oh my god, Hikigaya Hachiman is committing domestic violence

In the vast mountain, the hideous and terrifying stag beetle monster with a violent aesthetic and the slightly gentle female monster with a mysterious atmosphere are staring at each other in a fighting posture. A slight breeze blows slowly between the two of them, rolling up a cloud of yellow sand.

I don't know how long it was, but as a novice, Yukinoshita Yukino lost her patience first. She pushed the ground hard with her right foot, and turned into a blurry black shadow like a bullet. She clenched her right hand into a fist and slammed towards Hikigaya Hachiman who was in front of her.

The latter dodged by just slightly turning sideways, and then in the vision of Yukinoshita Yukino, only a vague afterimage flashed by, and then she felt a surge of power suddenly hitting her abdomen, and the terrifying power poured into it, flowing to her limbs and bones in an instant.

At this moment, she felt as if all the bones in her body were shattered. The intense pain was faithfully transmitted to her pain nerves, causing her to scream to vent the severe pain in her body.

However, Hikigaya Hachiman turned a blind eye to this.

Since he was determined to let Yukinoshita Yukino understand the horror of fighting and prevent her from participating in the battle with a half-hearted attitude, repeating his previous mistakes and accidentally losing her life, then he would not show mercy.

After all, not everyone can meet a Sakaki Gami and Sato Jin at a critical moment, and not every rescuer is so powerful and will not die with you.

Rather than showing mercy now and just giving the girl a casual lesson, giving her a sense of luck, he would rather be ruthless and inflict severe physical and mental damage on her, making her afraid of fighting, rather than going up and giving himself up and ruining his best years.

So, Hikigaya Hachiman once again turned into a rational monster and suppressed his inner discomfort about beating a girl. When Yukinoshita Yukino covered her stomach with both hands and made a strange sound of "Ho ho ho~", he clenched his left hand into a fist and hit her right shoulder like a heavy artillery.

"Bang~"

When a heavy punch with 70% of the force landed on the shoulder armor, fine cracks spread out from the fist, and traces of blood seeped out from the cracks.

"Ugh~"

After this punch, Yukinoshita Yukino's right hand immediately shrank down. Judging from the weak appearance and the crisp sound just now, it was obviously interrupted by Hikigaya Hachiman.

"In a life-and-death battle, the enemy won't give you time to slowly get used to the pain. You'll just become a sitting duck."

As mentioned before, Hikigaya Hachiman had no mercy. After a successful attack, he grabbed Yukinoshita Yukino's remaining right hand with both hands and used joint techniques to remove it.

"Click~"

"Ahhh~"

The attack was not over yet. After removing his left hand, Hikigaya Hachiman kicked Yukinoshita Yukino's knee hard with his right leg, and used it as a stepping stone to jump high. He suddenly raised his left knee and hit her chin.

The ferocious force lifted her up from the ground. Hikigaya Hachiman did not stop there. He twisted his waist in mid-air and delivered a powerful spinning kick to her wide-open abdomen. Hit hard by this, Yukinoshita Yukino flew backwards rapidly like a kite with a broken string.

After bouncing on the ground several times, it fell heavily into the mud and sand, creating a small hole in it.

"Cough cough cough~"

Mouthfuls of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs came out of her mouth. At this moment, Yukinoshita Yukino felt that she had lost all strength in her body. The pain turned into a blazing fire, baking everything in her body and tormenting her pain nerves.

Now she had no mood to think about anything else. The intense pain occupied her entire brain. She was in a daze and could not make any effective resistance.

Based on this, the fact that she did not beg for mercy made Hikigaya Hachiman unsure whether this level was within her tolerance, so he did not dare to stop attacking. He continued to rush to the girl with a ruthless heart, ignoring the glaring blood falling in the mud and sand, and punched her right shoulder hard, making it flush with her neighbor.

“Uwaaaaaaah~”

The girl's shrill cries did not arouse any sympathy in the boy's heart, and his iron fist continued to fall on her mercilessly. Every time a punch was raised and dropped, it was accompanied by some minced meat and bright blood, which flew all over the empty mountain.

"Bang~"

This time, Hikigaya Hachiman's fist was blocked by the hunter, and he looked up at his partner who was stopping him.

"That's enough Kuuga, she won't be able to hold on if this continues."

Hearing this, the young man walked away without saying a word from Yukinoshita Yukino, whose bloody body was covered in a mess. Her golden armor was completely tattered, revealing her flesh and blood wrapped in dark skin underneath. He stood quietly by the side, staring at his bloody hands in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking about.

The hunter glanced at the boy in the distance with a little concern, but it knew that the more important thing now was to let the girl recover quickly. Bandages emitting a faint pure white halo immediately flew out of its body and gently wrapped around the scarred girl.

"I know you can still hear me now. Now quickly mobilize the light power in your body and cooperate with my light power to heal your body. Otherwise, no matter how strong your recovery ability is, you will not be able to walk today. You don't want the people around you to notice how serious your injuries are when you return to human form, right?"

Having been given time to catch her breath, Yukinoshita Yukino, who was still tortured by the pain, heard the hunter's words in a daze. At the same time, she also felt a gentle power throughout her body, healing the pain in her body and easing her suffering. She immediately forced herself to raise her spirits and clumsily mobilized the power of light in her body to cooperate with the hunter's power of light to heal her injuries.

After a long time, Yukinoshita Yukino's injuries were finally healed, and the hunter stopped treating her.

It's not that it doesn't want to completely heal her injuries, but it knows that it has a telepathic connection with Hikigaya Hachiman and that in its next communication with her, it must retain some of the injuries to serve as a weight to dissuade her from joining the battle and returning to normal life, so it can only terminate the treatment.

After all, he is Hikigaya Hachiman's partner, so he must not fall behind, right?

Yukinoshita Yukino struggled to stand up from the ground. Her usually cold face hidden under the mask now looked with fear at the hideous figure who slowly turned around and walked towards her, and she subconsciously took a few steps back.

Seeing this, Hikigaya Hachiman stopped moving forward and asked, "Do you still want to fight now?"

"..."

The girl didn't speak.

"I can tell you responsibly that I haven't used my full strength in the fight just now. If I wanted to, I could kill you in an instant."

His words made Yukinoshita Yukino start to tremble uncontrollably.

She knew very well that the boy was not lying. Except for the first punch, she was being beaten the whole time. The opponent had too many opportunities to kill her, so she could not refute and did not have the courage to refute.

"I don't know why you want to fight, but I can tell you responsibly that fighting in reality is not as gentle as in movies and TV shows. It represents the passing of life, the destruction of the body, and the torture of the spirit."

"It's not a game like yours where you think you have the power and then participate in it half-heartedly. You can quit and start over at any time."

"In battle, if you die, you're dead!"

Hikigaya Hachiman looked at the shivering Yukinoshita Yukino in front of him. Even though he felt sorry and his heart was bleeding, he couldn't comfort her, otherwise everything he had done before would be meaningless.

He must show the other party the cruelty of battle and completely cut off the possibility of her participating in the battle.

[I will bear this sin alone!]

"So, stop thinking about fighting, go back to your original life, forget everything that happened in the past two days, and be a normal human being."

Having said this, he turned his back, switched into the Azure Dragon form with the strongest explosive power, leaped up and flew into the distance.

"The weight of the battle is not something you can bear right now."

Yukinoshita Yukino stared blankly at the receding figure. At this moment, her body seemed to have lost all strength and she fell to her knees weakly on the ground. She raised her still trembling hands and could still clearly feel the burning pain in her body.

"Is this what fighting is?"

His sight shifted from his hands to the front, but the figure had completely disappeared.

"I……"

She wanted to say that she still chose to fight, but the painful memories that followed surged into her brain and took away her ability to speak. In the end, she could only kneel on the ground, staring blankly at the scene in front of her in silence.

Chapter 85: Confused Yukinoshita Yukino

The breeze was blowing gently, with blue sky and white clouds on both sides. If it were in the past, Yukinoshita Yukino would have appreciated the sky and the beautiful scenery below.

However, the lingering pain in her body and the aftereffects of the battle she had just boasted about were still eating away at her spirit. She simply couldn't muster the energy to look at her surroundings, let alone appreciate them.

"Hey~ Hunter, am I really not fit for fighting?"

With her mind in a mess, Yukino Yukinoshita asked the hunter she was lying on.

"Why do you want to fight? Like Kuuga said, wouldn't it be better to just go back to your old life and pretend nothing happened?"

The hunter did not answer the question, but asked it instead.

Not only did it want to avoid holding its partner back, but more importantly, it also wanted to know the reason why the other party was fighting. It couldn't understand why this rich girl on its body didn't act like a good lady, but instead wanted to fight monsters. Isn't the life of rich people good to it?

"I don't know the reason for the fight."

"Eh?"

Yukinoshita Yukino listened to the hunter's puzzled tone and revealed a bitter smile under her mask.

"I live in a wealthy family. Although my parents are very strict with me, they love me very much. Basically, as long as my requests are not too excessive, they will be met."
