My youth story cannot be a knight war

[In this world illuminated by the light, Zaimokuza gently closed his eyes, and the last tear shed across his face, leaving behind traces of his dream.]

[——Wake up, it’s time to leave. ]

……

[The dark purple lines disappeared from his face, returning to his original fair complexion, and the horrific wound on his neck also began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.]

[The eyelashes of the tightly closed eyes trembled slightly, and then slowly opened, revealing the pair of black eyes. ]

[The scene in front of me was blurry when I first opened my eyes, but it became clearer as time went by.]

【Three familiar faces appeared in front of me, each with shock, joy, and sadness that did not have time to dissipate.】

[“Bullmaster, Yuigahama, Ms. Makishima…”]

[Zaimokuza, still wearing a breathing mask, looked at the three faces that appeared before him, and the corners of his mouth stained with black blood moved slightly, trying his best to pull up a smile.]

[But when he smiled, a barely visible tear flowed from the corner of his right eye, looking like an illusion under the light.]

【"……I'm back."】

[“Welcome back… Zaimokuza-san.”]

……

[“Heh~”]

[The golden light flickered in his eyes, and as his eyes gently closed, they returned to their original dark color when they opened again.]

[The young man in white sitting on the edge of the hospital rooftop, holding the railing with both hands and looking up at the blue sky, his legs swinging gently, the brisk arc of the swing shows his inner joy.]

[He looked at the clouds floating in the sky, and a happy smile slowly appeared on his face.]

[“You finally woke up.”]

[“It’s been a long time, brother~”]

30. Don’t let regret happen again (6K)

Kyoto City, Usagiyama Shopping Street, rice cake shop.

"It's so--so sad!"

Kitashirakawa Tamako, who stayed in the room with her sister, looked at the screen and saw "Hikigaya Hachiman" and "Zaimokuza Yoshiki" bidding farewell to each other forever at dawn. She couldn't help but sniff hard, and her bright big eyes turned red with sadness and tears accumulated.

"Zaimokuza-san is such a kind and gentle person, why did he encounter so many misfortunes!?"

"Not only did his parents die in the car accident, but even his best friend left him. After so many years, he finally saw his friend for the last time in his dream, but he had to part with him before he could even say a few words. This is too much!"

As the eldest sister in the family, she has a sensible and mature heart beneath her optimistic appearance. So although she feels sad about the ending of the two, she is still relatively restrained and does not have such big emotional fluctuations.

But it was not the same for her two younger sisters. They were all crying. The youngest one, Kitashirakawa Enoko, even held a magical creature that looked more like a pig than a bird in her arms and used it as a rag to wipe her face.

What was even more incredible was that this magical creature had a human-like helpless expression on its face at this moment, and was even mumbling softly.

"Ah, ah, ah? Aren't the words 'heroes' always associated with 'unfortunate'? Now it's just that they lost their parents and friends, not that they died. Is it really necessary for you to cry like this?"

"Really? That's why women are just a collection of emotions, no matter what age they are."

Dela Dagaonanchi, who came from a southern island country and was called "Dila" by the people on this street, was a magical fat bird. He looked speechlessly at the girls who were crying with tears in their eyes, and made a few comments in a bland voice with an inexplicable arrogance.

After saying that, Della shrank her fat body and found a comfortable position to lie down in Kitashirakawa Enoki's arms. Her bird-like face showed a very vulgar and obscene expression and closed her eyes as she enjoyed the soft embrace of the loli.

"?"

As a result, it had just laid down when it suddenly felt someone grabbing its neck and lifting it up. It opened its eyes in confusion and met a pair of big red eyes.

"Dila, you are really——"

Click.

Kitashirakawa Tamako opened the window of the room, and in front of Della's confused eyes, she used her hands to make a baseball pitching posture, took a deep breath and raised her left leg.

“——That’s too much!!!”

As the girl cried out in a tearful voice, she threw the fat white bird out of the window of the room, and it turned into a shadow and flew to the equally open window of the room on the second floor of the rice cake shop "Daluwu" opposite.

boom--! ! !

"Wow!"

Della, who was thrown like a baseball, had a close contact with Dalu Bingzang, who was sitting by the window and secretly peeping at the girls in the opposite room. Their foreheads hit each other heavily, making a deafening sound, and then they fell backwards to the ground together.

"Young man... why are you by the window... are you peeping at the girls?!"

"It's none of your business! You have no right to criticize me, you slut..."

The two parties who were both injured fell to the ground and twitched, covering the red impact site, while at the same time complaining to each other without wanting to be outdone.

【Tokyo, outer metropolitan area. 】

[A blue sword flashed, and the purple Ginoga clone burst into fiery sparks and blood from his chest. He was chopped off by the powerful sword and knocked a dent in the fence of the road.]

【“——”】

[The split body reached out to hold onto the fences on both sides. Just as it was struggling to stand up, a heavy shield rapidly expanded in its field of vision, hammering its entire face into the concrete wall with one blow.]

[But even after being hit so hard, it was still able to reach out and grab the shield embedded in its head, trying hard to pull it out, showing an extremely amazing vitality.]

[When its hands climbed onto the shield, the fingers wrapped in the shield pulled the trigger without hesitation.]

[Shielder Mortar.]

【--boom!!!】

[The bottom of the shield guardian that was deeply embedded in the face of the split body burst into blue flames, and then a violent shock wave erupted from the shield's nozzle, smashing the upper body of the split body and the fence fragments on the surrounding road into slag.]

[After losing most of its tissue area including the brain, the split body finally stopped its dying struggle, and its hands that were holding the shield fell down powerlessly.]

[A brass shell was pushed out from the end of the shield and fell to the ground. After confirming that the split body was completely motionless, Kousaka Kyosuke gritted his teeth and "pulled" the shield out of the split body's bloody body.]

【"Kousaka-kun!?"】

[“Hmm…!”]

【With Ebina's exclamation in his ears, Kousaka Kyosuke staggered back several steps, and before he fell, he thrust the Demon Slayer in his other hand into the ground in time, leaning on the sword and panting violently.】

[The electric light that was originally surging on the surface of the armor and the flames burning in each nozzle are now gradually becoming weaker, indicating that the current GO has exited the full-load mode of the overdrive and returned to its originally set normal functional level. ]

[GO's armor, which had been repaired urgently and was once shiny and clean, now looked tattered, covered with all kinds of scars and damage, including traces of swords, spears, halberds, and other weapons. Through the damaged parts, one could vaguely see the various internal circuits, which made it clear at a glance what kind of tragic battle this armor had gone through.]

【And this is indeed the case.】

[At this moment, this expressway from Tokyo to the outside of the metropolitan area has lost its former neatness and order and has become a horrible sight.]

[There were raging fires everywhere, and black smoke was drifting towards the sky, like a column of black smoke reaching straight into the sky.]

[Various broken "corpses" lie in this area that has become a battlefield, and gradually turn into purple dust and dissipate as time passes. They are all Ginoga's split bodies that were defeated by Kousaka Kyousuke.]

[There were nearly twice as many clones as last time, but this time he managed to kill them all by himself! ]

[But such an amazing record will inevitably come at a painful price. ]

[“No, both the armor’s own functions and the wearer’s own physical condition have reached their limits!”]

[Ebina, who was far away in the control room, looked at the armor damage data displayed on the screen in front of him, as well as the physiological status of the wearer, and his anxious expression was beyond words. ]

[“Kousaka-kun, I order you to stop fighting immediately! It is too difficult for you to fight No. 25 alone. Retreat now!”]

[Ebina's anxious voice kept coming from the communication beside my ear, but Kousaka Kyousuke didn't say a word in reply. 】

[Because he can no longer speak.]

[After exiting the full load mode, Kousaka Kyosuke felt as if his entire body was torn apart. Every bone and muscle was screaming to his brain. His hands were especially numb and seemed to have no feeling at all.]

[The sweat seeping out of every pore of his body seemed to be mixed with blood, and a pungent smell filled his nose. There was a sweet smell deep in his throat, forcing Kousaka Kyousuke to close his mouth tightly, fearing that if he opened his mouth to respond, blood would spurt out of his mouth and then stain the built-in screen of the helmet red.]

[Not only the external injuries, his internal organs were also seriously injured. He felt that several bones were fractured. Now the slightest movement was excruciatingly painful. His internal organs were twitching as if they were being electrocuted. He felt an overwhelming nausea and discomfort that made him unable to move.]

[This is the price of being in full load mode for a long time. Once the safe time is exceeded, even if no damage is sustained in combat, the severe pain and injuries from the side effects alone are enough to kill an average person on the spot. Of all the police officers in Tokyo, only Kyosuke Kosaka can withstand it with his superb physical fitness and fight with a firm will despite the severe pain.]

[But even so, he has reached his limit now. After dealing with all the split bodies, he no longer has any strength to fight. Even if he did, Kousaka Kyousuke's body would not allow him to continue to support it. ]

[Unlike those Gurongi and Zaimokuza who possess the Yamadam Reiki, no matter how powerful he appears in the eyes of others, Kousaka Kyousuke is ultimately a pure human being, and humans have their own limits.]

[Once you cross the red line that represents the limit of the human body, no matter who you are, the only outcome is death. ]

[But even so, after forcibly swallowing back the blood in his throat, Kousaka Kyosuke still forced himself to stand up and pulled out the greatsword stuck in the ground, with no intention of retreating at all.]

[Because he knew very well that if he left now to protect himself, Ginoga, who was left unrestrained, would transfer his anger at being fooled to Tokyo, which was not far from here, and more innocent people would suffer.]

[As for this point, his attitude was clearly explained to others in words from the beginning - Kousaka Kyousuke is a policeman. ]

[The so-called police are people whose duty is to protect the people. ]

[If the Unconfirmed Life Form No. 25 still wants to continue killing people to complete his game, he must first step over his body! ]

["——Kosaka-kun, be careful!!!"]

【“!?”】

[Ebina's almost voice-breaking exclamation was accompanied by the black shadow covering his head. Kousaka Kyosuke raised his head suddenly. A whip formed by countless tentacles split the air and came towards him from above at an extremely fast speed. By the time he raised his head, the distance had been shortened to less than ten meters.]

[Faced with this attack, Kousaka Kyosuke, who had already exhausted all his strength, instantly determined that he could not dodge it, so he reluctantly raised the shield in his left hand to block in front of him as a defense.]

【boom--】

[“Hmm!”]

[The moment the tentacles hit the shield, the huge force completely broke through the defense that Kousaka Kyosuke had barely made.]

[Under Kousaka Kyousuke's wide-eyed gaze, the shield, which was already scarred in the battle, was instantly disintegrated by the terrifying power of the tentacles, and then hit his body fiercely amid the flying fragments.]

[Kousaka Kyosuke's defensive posture was completely deformed the moment he was hit by the tentacle, and his entire body was blown away by the waving tentacle. After falling to the ground, he slid a long distance on the road. The surface of his armor burst into dazzling sparks due to the intense friction with the road surface.]

[Kousaka Kyosuke slid backwards until he bumped into Graham Charger, who had just fallen in the battle, and his GO helmet fell off his head after being hit.]

[clang——]

[The Demon Slayer that he had originally held in his right hand slipped out of his hand and spun several times in the air before stabbing into another part of the road far away from Kousaka Kyousuke. The bright blade of the sword reflected his figure leaning against the motorcycle in a panic.]

[“Puff!”]

[After being hit hard by this blow, Kousaka Kyosuke could no longer hold on. He stood up and used his hands to support the mount beside him to spit out the blood accumulated in his throat. He completely lost the last bit of strength to resist.]

【"hateful……"】

[The face that was revealed after the helmet fell off was already covered in blood. Kousaka Kyosuke raised his head and stared at the huge black shadow waving its tentacles in front of him with his blood-stained eyes wide open.]

["What's wrong? Is this the extent of your ability? GO!"]

[The huge demon-like alien plant made a series of indistinguishable sounds. Although Kousaka Kyosuke could not understand the language of these Gurongi, he could still tell from the sarcastic voice that the other party was laughing at him.]

[But Kousaka Kyosuke was not angry at the enemy's ridicule. He was never a person who would let his emotions take over his reason. Even though the current situation was undoubtedly a desperate situation, he did not give up the will to fight, even though the outcome was already obvious at this moment.]

【“…”】

[He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his fist, reached out and grabbed the helmet that fell beside him, and said in a deep voice with no expression on his face.]

[“Ms. Ebina, I know you won’t agree to my request, so this is my unilateral contact with you.”]

[“I won’t run away, but if I die in the battle with the twenty-fifth, please activate the GO’s self-destruct system… I know this armor must have this function installed, so you don’t need to lie to me.”]

[“Given the energy system level of GO, the range and power of the self-detonation should be enough to completely engulf No. 25. It is estimated that it will be more seriously injured than yesterday. The rest of the matter will be left to you and Zaimokuza.”]

[“Also, if possible... please don’t tell my family about my death.”]

【"……above."】

[Leaving Ebina on the other side of the helmet to jump up and down in anger at his one-sided communication, Kousaka Kyosuke threw his helmet back after he finished speaking, and stood up unsteadily, supporting himself on the locomotive.]

【"call……"】

[He panted and pulled out the machine Chaser hanging from his waist. This pistol was the only weapon he had available.]

[“You don’t plan to run away? Very good! Even if it’s just a fake of KUUGA, I recognize your courage!”]

[Ginoga was surprised to see that Kousaka Kyosuke, who was obviously too injured to continue fighting, did not run away, but instead continued to walk towards him with unsteady steps, holding the pistol whose power he could completely ignore after activating his enhanced body.]

[But then its heart was filled with joy, and the tissue part near the head of the plant slowly opened a big mouth full of fangs, and a thick and twisted voice came out from it, with recognition of Kousaka Kyousuke. ]

[“As a reward for your bravery, let me give you a death that will only last a moment of pain!”]

[All the tentacles growing on the plant surface twisted and deformed forward as Ginoga spoke, and within a short time they merged into a huge alien blade.]

[From the outside, the width of this "blade" alone exceeds the height of Kousaka Kyousuke, and its length is at least two stories high.]
