I, Tsugumi Yuichiro, must do something

After placing flowers on the graves of Coral and Kagome.

Yoshikazu Tsugakuni returned to his home.

'Nice to meet you.'

Sitting in the chair, Jiguo Yuanyi felt his consciousness begin to blur, and the smiling faces of everyone over the long years replayed in his mind.

I don’t know how much time passed, but Ji Guoyuan died of old age without any signs of life.

(End of Inuyasha)

Volume 3: Black Bullet

Chapter 1: Outer Area, First Meeting with Enju Aihara [5th Update]

【Attribute table of Jiguo Yuanyi】

At this point, after experiencing the worlds of Akame Slash and Inuyasha, Tsugikuni Yoriichi now possesses an additional Imperial Tool compared to his initial state. He has mastered the supreme boxing techniques of the Imperial Fist Temple, learned the complete miko heritage, and his Nichirin Blade has been comprehensively upgraded. He also carries Kanna's true form, and with over three hundred years of experience across three lifetimes combined, his actual combat power is explosive.

Yoriichi Tsugikuni was constantly thinking in the endless void, and he was unaware of the passage of time.

Everything is nothingness. The only thing that makes Yuichiro Tsugikuni feel that he still has some sense of existence is probably that his thoughts have not stopped.

Even though the kaleidoscope has stopped for who knows how long, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's mind is still working.

However, what surprised Tsugumi Yoshiichi was that the environment around him had changed since he didn't know when. It was no longer nothingness, but light appeared.

One of them looked familiar to Yuichiro Tsugikoku.

The girl who had appeared in his sight several times glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and then walked towards him.

"Hello, hello."

"I see you've been standing here alone for a long time."

Aihara Enju looked at Tsugikoku Yoriichi, who was standing blankly among the ruins, with a look of worry on her face. She said, "You're not from the outer district, are you?"

As a cursed person living in the outer area, Enju Aihara lives with a group of girls like her. She originally wanted to come out to find some firewood, but when she was wandering around in the ruins.

Enju Aihara saw Yoriichi Tsugumi standing there.

Originally, Lan Yuan Yanzhu was very wary of people like outsiders. After all, those who lived within the magnetic field barrier of the monolith were extremely hostile to cursed people like them.

It often happens that the cursed are killed or tortured.

However, the kind-hearted Enju Aihara couldn't help herself in the end. She came to Yoriichi Tsugakuni and asked about the situation.

"As expected, we've arrived at a new place?"

Ji Guoyuan looked around. With his previous experience, he was able to adapt to this change quickly.

Ah Dai was still on the side of his body, also looking around at the environment.

'You'll feel young again.'

Looking at his originally dry palms, which had become rosy, plump and shiny again, Ji Guoyuan drew out the Sun Wheel Sword, and he could see his face on the blade regaining its youthfulness.

After taking a look, Jiguo Yuanyi seemed to understand something.

A feeling of déjà vu reminded him of the scene when he first appeared in the empire.

Although this is the third time it has happened, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi still feels a little unbelievable.

After a moment of trance, Tsugumi Yoshiichi turned his gaze to the girl who suddenly appeared in front of him.

The girl had crimson eyes and long hair tied into twin tails with a bunny headband.

She has fair skin and cute looks.

She was wearing a white dress with lotus hems, a yellow multi-checkered long-sleeved zipper raincoat, and a pair of long boots with brown and white as the main colors on her long white legs.

"Where is the outer area?"

Ji Guoyuan looked around.

Looking at the buildings covered with weeds and trees, the ruins everywhere, and the big pits on the ground, Ji Guoyuan could see it at a glance.

This place seems to have suffered some great disaster.

"You're not from Tokyo?"

Aihara Enju looked at Tsugikoku Yoriichi with some surprise, her childish voice full of doubts: "Are you from another country?"

"Tokyo, this is Tokyo?"

Hearing what Aihara Enju said, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's pupils shrank. He had lived in Tokyo for a long time and was very familiar with everything there.

But when he looked into the distance, he could not see any familiar building.

This place gave him an extremely strange feeling.

"What a strange fellow."

Aihara Enju looked at the cold face of Tsugakuni Yuichiro with surprise. She felt that Tsugakuni Yuichiro was a little weird. He didn't look like a local, but his Tokyo accent was so authentic.

"This is the Tokyo Outer Cycle. It's getting dark. It's very dangerous to stay here. If a gastrula appears, it will be difficult for an ordinary person like you to escape. I advise you to go home quickly."

Aihara Enju held some wood picked up from the ruins, gave some instructions to Ji Guoyuan, and then she prepared to go back.

"My home... doesn't seem to be here."

"Could it be that you are lost?"

Jiguo Yuanyi shook his head. He had just arrived in this strange place, and from time to time the girl in front of him would utter unfamiliar words like "peripheral zone" and "gastroenteron".

Tsugumi Yuichiro was full of doubts.

Hearing Aihara Enju's question about being lost, Jiguo Yuan nodded. Theoretically, he was indeed lost.

As an outsider, his understanding of his surroundings was almost zero.

"How could such a grown-up person get lost? Well, considering your pitiful appearance, follow me. But please don't despise the living environment there."

Enju Aihara shook her head slightly, turned around, and her twin ponytails swayed. Then she signaled Yuichiro Tsugikoku to follow her.

"Thank you."

Not knowing where he was at the moment, Ji Guoyuan thought about it for a while, and without hesitation, he followed behind Aihara Enju, and followed Aihara Enju, from a round sewer manhole cover to an underground space.

As soon as he went underground, a pair of eyes turned towards Ji Guoyuan. They were a group of little girls about the same age as Aihara Enju.

Their eyes slowly turned red, and they looked at Tsugikuni Yoriichi with wariness in their eyes.

"He's a lost man, not a bad man."

Seeing that everyone was about to activate their abilities, Aihara Enju put down the firewood and spoke out to stop them.

After hearing what Enju Aihara said, the redness in the eyes of many little girls slowly faded away.

"My name is Matsuzaki, please take a seat."

An old man with glasses came over, looked at Yuichiro Tsuchiya, and then invited Yuichiro Tsuchiya to sit down.

"Thank you. My name is Yuichiro Tsugikoku."

Nodding to the old man with glasses, Jiguo Yuanyi sat down.

Sitting there, Yuichiro Tsugumi could feel that the children's eyes were still looking at him from time to time.

From those gazes, Yoshiichi Tsugikuni could feel that many of them were filled with fear, as if he was a great threat to them.

"I have some things I want to know."

Taking the water from Matsuzaki, Jiguo Yuanyi thought for a moment, then asked, "How did those ruins outside form, and what are gastrulae?"

Chapter 2: Enterovirus, Another Tokyo [Update 1]

"You do not know?"

After hearing what Tsugikuni Yoshiichi said, Matsuzaki was very surprised. It had been almost nine years since the outbreak of the protostomes. During these nine years, the protostomes virus had infected the entire world.

Therefore, it is basically impossible that someone does not know what gastrula is.

However, seeing Tsugakuni Yoriichi's confused expression, Matsuzaki thought for a moment and thought that Tsugakuni Yoriichi might have some memory problems. He then began to describe what had happened in the world over the past eight years: "About eight years ago, a highly infectious virus that could rewrite the DNA of living things suddenly broke out around the world in 2021, destroying the human world to the point of near destruction in a short period of time.

Infected organisms will mutate within a short period of time, mixing their DNA with that of other animals, transforming into terrifying and ferocious monsters..."

Matsuzaki spoke slowly, and as he spoke, his face occasionally showed an expression of nostalgia or pain.

From the changes in his expression, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi could see that this short period of history had brought great pain to the old man in front of him.

"So that's how it is. Is this another Tokyo?"

After listening to Matsuzaki's story, Yoriichi Tsugumi, who originally knew nothing about the place he was in, gradually gained some understanding of this strange place he had just arrived.

I learned what gastrula are and what kind of people these little lolis in front of me are.

'The Cursed?'

"Are gastrula and ghosts related?"

Although I have some understanding of this strange place where I am currently.

However, Tsugikuni Yoriichi had many doubts again.

From Matsuzaki's description, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi felt that the so-called proto-gastral creatures had very similar characteristics to ghosts, both of which possessed very powerful regenerative abilities.

And it seems that ordinary weapons have no effect on it.

In addition, for these little girls in front of him, a group of children born due to the infection of the enterovirus, Tsujikuni Yuichi suddenly understood why they were so wary of his appearance before.

The main reason is that their eyes turn red when they use their abilities, and when they release their abilities or are injected with body fluids, the erosion rate of the protozoan virus gradually increases.

When the rate of erosion of the protozoan virus in the body exceeds 50%, protozoanization will occur, so inhibitors must be injected daily. Most of them live in the peripheral area due to being excluded.

So there are irreconcilable contradictions between these girls and normal people.

From some of the stories told by Matsuzaki, Tsugikuni Yoriichi roughly understood the situation of these girls.

They are a group of outcasts.

These girls reminded Yuichiro Tsugumi of his childhood.

Because he and his brother are twins and have markings on their faces, he has been considered unlucky since birth.

This also led to the fact that after Tsugikuni Yoriichi was born, he was ignored for a long time.

In the end, his family was preparing to send him to the temple.

"This is for you. We don't have much food here."

Enju Aihara sat next to Yuichiro Tsugakuni. She took out a piece of bread, broke it in half, and handed one of them to Yuichiro Tsugakuni.

Because they were excluded from the outer areas by normal people, it was very difficult for them to obtain food.

"Thank you."

Tsugumi Yuichiro borrowed the half piece of bread that Aihara Enju handed to him.

"Is it your robot?"

Slowly chewing on the hard bread, Aihara Enju looked at A-Dai who was next to Ji Guoyuan.

From the moment she met Ji Guoyuan, she always saw the mechanical man, who was always following Ji Guoyuan.

"A-Dai is my partner."

Jiguo Yuanyi patted A-Dai's head gently.

Speaking of which, Ah Dai has unknowingly accompanied him for hundreds of years.

Although Ah Dai is just an imperial weapon, Tsugikoku Yoriichi has already treated it as his own family member.

"Partner?"

Tsuchikuni Yoriichi's explanation made Aihara Enju slightly stunned, then she showed a thoughtful expression, and her eyes looking at Tsuchikuni Yoriichi became much softer.

Some of them joined civilian security companies.

Become the initiator and cooperate with normal humans who serve as promoters. Many promoters use partners like them as tools.
