My youth story cannot be a knight war

[Looking at Zaimokuza trying his best to block the falling blade, Biran's fanged mouth curled up and let out a venomous, sneer.]

【boom. 】

【"Um?"】

Just as it was about to decapitate Zaimokuza with one blow, a stone suddenly flew from a distance and struck Biran in the face, then fell to the ground at their feet.

[Biran, struck on the temple by the stone, simply tilted his head, then looked at the stone in his footsteps and uttered a puzzled sound.]

The force of the rock that hit him was so weak that it would have injured an average person, but for Biran, it was like a mosquito bite, basically negligible.

【"Varied--"】

[But this also attracted its attention, and together with Zaimokuza who was shocked by the sound in front of him, he looked in the direction where the stone came from. ]

[“Hey, hey! Come here if you can! What kind of manly tricks are you going to take when someone is weak? You have a head like a pickled curry fish head, you monster.”]

[Taizhong Ritsu, who still had an unconcealed fear on his face, looked at No. 23's gaze, swallowed hard, and shouted with a trembling voice.]

[“Come and compete with us if you have the guts! You are a despicable, shameless, dirty monster! A bad fish species that only deserves to live in the sewers! The base of miso soup!”]

Although she was terrified, she continued to squat down and flung a stone at her feet when Biran looked over. The stone flew a distance before hitting Biran's face again with great precision. Her accuracy was evident from her frequent stone-throwing activities near the pond.

[“That’s right! You big monster, you bully number four!”]

[And she wasn't the only one throwing stones. Hirasawa Yui and Akiyama Mio, who had rushed over from behind, also suppressed their fear and picked up stones at their feet, then threw them at Biran from a distance.]

【“…”】

Another stone hit Biran in the face. He looked down at the gravel that had fallen at his feet, speechless for a moment.

[“You idiots! What the hell are you doing!?”]

In contrast to Biran, who remained silent, Zaimokuza was filled with shock and anger, and couldn't help but shout at the light music club members on the riverbank.

[“Why did you come back?! Run away! Get out of here now!”]

[“Stop talking! We came back to help you out of kindness! If we hadn’t helped you throw the rocks, you would be dead now! At least say thank you to us! You stag beetle weirdo! You big idiot! You don’t know how to appreciate kindness!”]

【"I--"】

[Taizhong Ritsu, who was getting stubborn, retorted without hesitation, and Zaimokuza, who was furious, found that he couldn't find any words to retort and was speechless. ]

【“——Hahahahaha!”】

The devil's grin, like the sound of a demon gnashing its teeth and sucking blood, made Zaimokuza secretly cry out in disbelief. He suddenly turned to look at Biran in front of him, only to see it shaking all over and letting out an uncontrollable laugh.

[“Interesting! It’s really interesting! You Linduo!”]

Biran looked up at the girls on the shore. At that moment, rather than anger, he felt more amusement and curiosity, his gaze like a child who had seen a limited-edition figurine locked in a closet.

[And every naughty child is a destructive king that makes people shudder. ]

[“Since you are so brave to challenge me, as a warrior I have no choice but to respond.”]

Biran spoke softly to the girls in the light music section, his voice strangely gentle, like an adult giving instructions to a group of ignorant children.

[But this disguised gentleness was torn to pieces in the next moment, revealing the true face of the bloodthirsty and cruel evil spirit underneath. ]

[“——Let me teach you a lesson. What will happen if a weak person dares to challenge a strong person?”]

【"stop!"】

Zaimokuza, realizing what it was going to do, ignored the blade before him and immediately reached out to grab Biran's arm to stop him.

But the second after he stretched out his hand, the blade before him vanished, leaving behind an afterimage. Without hesitation, Biran abandoned Zaimokuza, who was about to die at his hands, and sprinted towards the Light Music Club members, who had frozen on the shore after witnessing this scene.

【"Well--"】

[Sometimes, no matter how beautifully and fearlessly you speak, when things really happen before your eyes, the response from your heart may not be pride, but fear.]

[When Tian Jingzhong Ritsu saw that terrifying No. 23 really abandoned No. 4 and rushed over here, boundless fear suddenly surged out from her heart and turned into a substantial chain that wrapped around her whole body, making her completely unable to move. She could only watch the other party rush over here with trembling legs.]

【"law!"】

【“Ritsu-chan!?”】

[When Akiyama Mio and Hirasawa Yui, who were standing next to her, saw Tiananaka Ritsu standing there stupidly and unable to move, their expressions changed drastically.

[But they still bravely rushed over to pounce on her and pressed their bodies in front of her, using their bodies as shields to protect their friends, their eyes tightly closed in fear.]

[“Mio!? Yui! You guys——get out of the way!”]

[After coming back to his senses from the shock, Tianzhong Ritsu saw his friends trying to use their bodies as shields to protect him, and he screamed and tried to push them away.]

[“Go to hell! Lindos!”]

Biran looked at the girls rapidly approaching him, a sadistic smile on his face. He raised the blade on his arm, intending to chop them in two as soon as they got close!

[“Damn it!!!”]

【Seeing the tragedy that was about to happen before his eyes, Zaimokuza no longer cared whether it would affect them. He roared and clasped one hand on the spirit stone at his waist. A blazing flame suddenly ignited on his body! 】

【"overtake--"】

【boom--! ! ! 】

Just as he was about to utter the psychologically suggestive line about transformation, a missile came hurtling towards him from a distance, striking Biran in the path he was taking as he rushed towards the light music club, faster than anyone present could react.

[Intense shock waves and flames exploded the moment the missile hit the ground, sweeping in all directions along with a hurricane.]

【“!?”】

Biran was stunned by the suddenness of the situation, but he quickly reacted and stopped charging, crossing his arms in front of him. The blast engulfed him in the next second.

[“Wow wow wow wow!???]

[The girls from the light music club who were lying on the ground were blown away by the shock wave. The three people who were hugging each other rolled a long distance on the ground, their clothes were torn, revealing their fair skin.]

【“!?”】

[This sudden change also made Zaimokuza stunned, and even the action of changing his form also stopped. He looked at the smoke spreading in front of him and the enemies rolling backwards on the ground in confusion. ]

[“What’s going on???”]

【Om—】

[Just as he was wondering in doubt, a deep roar of an engine sounded from afar, and it was rapidly approaching here. Zaimokuza could not help but turn his head and look behind him in the direction of the sound.]

【boom! 】

[Just as Zaimokuza turned his head, a figure driving a white heavy motorcycle jumped up from the direction he was looking at, and drove quickly towards his location from top to bottom.]

The figure slammed the front brake on his motorcycle just before colliding with Zaimokuza. With a sizzling sound, the motorcycle's rear wheel drew a graceful arc in front of him, blocking the road between Zaimokuza and Biran like a towering wall.

【“——It seems we have caught up.”】

[A heavy gun with white smoke coming out of the muzzle was slowly lowered by the hand wrapped in armor, and a familiar calm voice sounded from under the blue and white armor.]

【“——This voice!?”】

[Hearing this familiar voice, Zaimokuza stood up quickly but suddenly froze, looking at the figure in front of him who turned around in disbelief.]

[“You did a great job. Leave the rest to me.”]

【“Zaimokuzu.”】

【"Who are you……"】

[If it was just a suspicion just now, then the words he said now have made Zaimokuza completely certain of the identity of this mysterious figure in armor, and his voice gradually became a mixture of astonishment and joy.]

[His purple compound eyes reflected the other person's helmeted face, which was very similar to his own after transformation, the red mechanical compound eyes, and the three silver horns on the top of his head.]

["——Mr. Kosaka!"]

【"Um."】

【Zaimokuza's words revealed the identity of the visitor, and the other party nodded slightly in response.】

[At the last moment when the tragedy is about to happen, the most powerful guardian of the people, the strongest police in Tokyo today——]

【Kousaka Kyosuke arrives at the battlefield.】

25. Start a new battle (two-in-one 5K)

"You're finally here, Officer Kousaka!"

"It's too slow! If you were a few seconds later, it would have been justice delayed!"

……

Just like every fable, at the moment when tragedy is about to become reality and darkness is about to fall, the protagonist called "Hero" will surely arrive majestically on his steed, and with the sword in his hand, he will turn the tragedy into the story that everyone hopes for, and carve a crack in the dark world that allows light to shine through.

And the "Kousaka Kyosuke" on the light curtain now really looks like a hero. Even though his resolute face is covered by an alien-like mask, his eyes convey the love and peace he believes in to all living beings with a will as hot as steel, and his determination to protect the world.

Chiba Prefecture, Takasaka family.

"Smelly boy..."

Daisuke Takasaka looked at his "son" who was riding a motorcycle into the battlefield in the light curtain, cutting off the impending tragedy like a god descending from the sky and dispelling the despair and gloom that was shrouding the area. The corners of his serious mouth slowly drew out an invisible arc.

"Finally, I am no longer like when I was a kid, unable to even ride a tricycle steadily."

Chiba Prefecture, Sakura Gakuen Junior High School.

"Stupid Kyousuke! Why can't you change your habit of procrastinating at the critical moment? Why do you always like to arrive at the last minute!"

When Kousaka Kirino saw those "seniors" on the screen about to be brutally killed by No. 23, she couldn't help but want to close her eyes first, unable to bear to watch the tragic scene.

But she finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing "Kousaka Kyosuke" who arrived at the scene before the tragedy was about to happen and cut off the despair. She turned her worry into joy and said with a hint of anger in her voice, just like the little girl who used to act coquettishly to her brother when she was a child and came back at this moment.

"Kousaka Kyosuke" in the light curtain got down from his mount, turned his back to Biran who stood up behind him and faced "Zaimokuza Yoshiki". The sunlight fell on his body and was reflected to the surroundings by his blue and white lacquered body. The tiny dust particles in the air were illuminated and transparent. From a distance, it looked like a cloak made of dust light was draped over his back.

Looking at the back that exuded a sense of calmness and steadiness, Kousaka Kirino seemed to see again the little boy when he was a child, standing on the sofa in the living room with the quilt tied around his neck as if it were a cloak, his childish face posing for the team transformation with the seriousness imitated from his father.

At that time, Kousaka Kirino was just like now, always looking at the thin back that seemed "tall and majestic" in her own world with admiration, thinking that her brother was the bravest man in the world, her own hero, and that no one could compare to Kousaka Kyosuke. She also secretly swore in her heart that she would marry him when she grew up.

"!???"

No! What the hell am I recalling? It was just a joke I made when I was a kid!

Kousaka Kirino's face suddenly turned red while she was daydreaming. She shook her head vigorously to dispel the evil thoughts in her mind. Suddenly, she didn't dare to continue looking at "Kousaka Kyosuke" in the video.

"Really? The future is so handsome, why can't you learn from your future self now..."

In order to distract her attention and think, Kousaka Kirino subconsciously compared the future "Kousaka Kyosuke" with the current Kousaka Kyosuke, and tried to connect the heroic and stern police officer on the screen with her current useless brother who always had a listless look in his eyes and picked his nose with his little finger...

A black line fell from her forehead to her fair cheek, and the girl suddenly felt that the taboo throbbing that had just sprouted in her heart towards her brother disappeared without a trace, and turned into a strong regret with speechlessness and disgust. She couldn't help but pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice.

——What should I do? I suddenly feel that the useless brother now is not so attractive. Can I swap the current Kyosuke with the future Kyosuke? Even if I never swap them back, it’s fine.

“Kirito…”

Aragaki Ayase, who was standing next to her, looked at her best friend whose cheeks were abnormally red. She tilted her head slightly to the side, and her wet black hair hung down from the side of her face, covering half of her soft face.

Those bright and clear eyes became extremely empty at this moment, as dark and cold as two dark tunnel entrances, and as terrifying as the red-clothed sacrificial dolls on the ancient altar.

"As expected, your brother is a dangerous person. He must be given..."

"Huh!? Ayase, did you say anything?"

Kousaka Kirino suddenly felt an inexplicable biting cold current blowing from behind her and shivered subconsciously. She looked back at her friend standing behind her with a puzzled look on her face.

"Nothing, Kirino?"

What caught my eyes was the smile on my best friend's face, as gentle as the spring breeze. The cherry blossom petals outside the window floated in with the breeze, brushing against Aragaki Ayase's delicate cheeks, as beautiful as the first love-faced heroine in a morning drama.

Chiba Prefecture, Chiba Benbun High School, health room.

"You've finally arrived. My future self—Aa ...

Kyosuke Kousaka saw that his future "self" finally arrived at the scene at the critical moment. Just as he was about to smile with relief, his nostrils suddenly felt indescribably itchy, and he snorted loudly without warning.

"This itchy feeling, and this familiar uncomfortable feeling that seems to penetrate every hair on my body from the inside out..."

Kyosuke Kousaka took a few tissues from the paper box on the bedside table next to him to wipe the snot hanging from his nose. The corners of his eyes twitched slightly and he muttered unhappily.

"——It must be that damned Kirino who is cursing at me behind my back again!"

[“Mr. Kosaka, why are you like this…!?”]

【Zaimokuza was so surprised when he saw Kousaka Kyousuke approaching him that he was speechless for a moment.】

[The opponent's body is blue and white, and the armor on his body is full of mechanical sense and also has a wild breath. The two are harmoniously integrated together to form the armor in front of him. ]
