My youth story cannot be a knight war

[“And now it seems that their standard is obviously… the number of humans killed.”]

[“From the time the crime started to the time it ended, in just five hours, B6 killed a total of three hundred innocent citizens!”]

[The five fingers holding the fragment suddenly tightened. With the performance of the GO armor, not to mention this fragment that looked like a stone, even steel could be easily twisted into a dough stick.]

[Kousaka Kyosuke was obviously very angry. This speculation made the rage in his heart burn fiercely. He almost wanted to crush the scale to vent his anger at the brutal behavior of the Gurongi.]

【What do you think life is? 】

[But he finally calmed down. This fragment might have something to do with B6, which caused this tragic situation. If the speculation is correct, the people in the institute should be able to analyze something from this fragment.]

[“I’m sorry, Mr. Kosaka.”]

【Feeling the anger burning in Kousaka Kyousuke's heart beneath his stern appearance, Zaimokuza said with an apologetic expression.】

[“If I had discovered B6’s crime pattern earlier, perhaps we would have been able to stop it in time, and these people would not have died…”]

“It’s not your fault.”

[Kousaka Kyosuke shook his head slightly, stood up and brushed off the dust in his hands, looking at the dilapidated tunnel exit and sighed helplessly.]

[“You’ve done a good job. If you hadn’t discovered the pattern of B6’s crimes, we might still be in the dark.”]

[“No one expected that B6’s targets were all passengers on the Sobu Line, and even specifically targeted passengers on the same train at the same time.”]

[This unidentified life form case really exceeded everyone's expectations. No one could have expected that B6's crimes would follow a certain pattern, which was completely different from the disorderly killings of its kind in the past.]

[If Zaimokuza had not found the tickets of three consecutive dead people through their belongings by chance, the police might still be wandering around Tokyo like headless flies. Given the size of this city, searching for a specific individual here is like looking for a needle in a haystack.]

[“All of its targets were passengers on the same train. We retrieved the video footage of the Shinkansen train and confirmed that the B6 train was on the Sobu Line at the time. However, it did not kill the passengers on the spot. Instead, it waited until they all got off the train before searching for and killing them one by one... This behavior is really unnecessary and obviously abnormal.”]

[“I think… this should be its rule, that is, you must wait until all passengers get off the bus before you are allowed to kill, otherwise it will be invalid.”]

[“Then my other speculation seems to be confirmed by this discovery.”]

[Kousaka Kyosuke turned his head and looked behind him, his eyes were deep and wise, and that was the direction of the Shinkansen. ]

[“Killing people actually requires specific rules. This is completely different from the methods used by those unidentified life forms in the past… As expected, they have really entered a new stage.”]

[“Then Mr. Kosaka, what should we do next?”]

【Zaimokuza frowned and asked.】

[“Should we continue searching? Since we have discovered its modus operandi, do we need to wait near the Sobu Line and wait for it to come to us?”]

[“Looking for them… I’m afraid it won’t work. We have never given up searching for their hiding places since they woke up from the seal of the ruins, but we have only found them once so far, and they ran away in advance. Apart from that, we have found nothing else. This is enough to show that those guys are very good at hiding themselves and resisting tracking.”]

[Kousaka Kyosuke thought for a while, then shook his head and said.]

[“But just in case, since we already know the clues of B6’s crime, let’s go back to the Metropolitan Police Department and ask our superiors to suspend the entire Sobu Line for a day to see if it has any effect.”]

[“Although this will cause inconvenience to citizens’ travel and cause certain economic losses, human lives are at stake. I believe that citizens will understand.俖”]

[“Then let’s hurry up—ngh!”]

[Before he could finish his words, Zaimokuza suddenly covered his abdomen with his hands, groaned, and half-knelt on the ground. ]

[Plop——]

[He felt the belt inside his body suddenly emit a faint humming sound, and a heart-like pulsation spread from his waist to his body, paralyzing his entire body.]

[At an angle that Zaimokuza himself could not see, his black eyes instantly turned golden, his pupils were as transparent and glittering as crystals reflecting light, and then returned to their normal color in the next blink.]

[“Hey! Zaimokuza!?”]

【Kousaka Kyosuke's expression changed when he saw this, and he immediately squatted down and supported Zaimokuza's shoulders.】

["What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"]

[“I… I’m fine.”]

[Zaimokuza frowned, and with confusion in his eyes, he was helped up by Kousaka Kyousuke and spoke blankly.]

[“Is it that strange throbbing feeling again?”]

[After hearing what he said about the series of changes in the Yamadam belt, Kousaka Kyousuke immediately guessed what was going on and asked with a worried look on his face.]

[“Yes, in the past few days… to be more precise, since the day when I was attacked by that Gurongi, this feeling has become stronger and stronger. Sometimes I am even awakened by it when I sleep.”]

【Zaimokuza nodded with a slight hesitation.】

[“Every time I feel this vibration, I feel as if something is happening to my body, and I can clearly feel… my strength is growing stronger.”]

[“We still don’t know enough about this belt. Although we went to Makishima’s place to check it yesterday, we still couldn’t find any problems.”]

[Kousaka Kyosuke crossed his arms over his chest, tapped the armor on his arms with his fingers, and spoke thoughtfully.]

[“Since modern hospitals can’t find the problem, we can only change direction... Miss Yukinoshita, have you gained anything from interpreting the inscriptions on the ruins recently?”]

[“I have told the minister about this matter and she is investigating it now…but I think this may not be a bad thing.”]

[The numbness had gradually faded away, and Zaimokuza raised his still numb fist and opened it, then gently clenched his palms one by one.]

[Looking at his fist, the emotions in his eyes were very complicated, including disgust, desire, and determination. All kinds of emotions were mixed together. ]

[“Those guys are getting stronger and stronger. It’s too much to fight them with my current strength. If my strength can continue to increase, I should be able to fight them... and protect everyone’s smiles.”]

[At the end of his speech, Zaimokuza raised his head and looked at Kousaka Kyosuke. The familiar smile was on his lips again, and there was no negative emotion in his expression anymore.]

【Looking at this smiling face, Kousaka Kyosuke was silent for a while, then sighed softly and said. 】

[“Although I know you won’t listen to my advice…but I still want to remind you, don’t push yourself too hard.”]

[“You should still remember what she said when I first took you to Makishima for a checkup.”]

[“——If you continue to use this belt like this, you might actually become like them.”]

【"Big husband!"】

【In response to this, Zaimokuza gave a thumbs-up and a smile. 】

[“Don’t worry, Mr. Kosaka! I haven’t fulfilled my dream yet, how could I possibly lose to this belt? Just a little erosion, I’ll overcome it with my willpower!”]

[“…Heh~”]

[Seeing the thumb raised in front of him so close that his fingerprints were clearly visible, Kousaka Kyousuke smiled subconsciously and reached out to slap his hand away. ]

[“It feels like I haven’t heard you say this for a long time… But when I heard it again, it still gave me a strange sense of conviction. I don’t know where it came from.”]

[“Hehehe.”]

[“Let’s go to the Metropolitan Police Department first. After the meeting, I’ll treat you to a midnight snack.”]

[“Really? Mr. Kosaka, I love you!”]

[“Get lost! Don’t play that on me, it’s too disgusting…”]

[The two left the scene noisily, but Kousaka Kyosuke, who was walking in front, did not notice a thing. ]

[The moment he turned his head, the smile on Zaimokuza's face, who was one step behind him, instantly disappeared, and a bit of gloom appeared on his face.]

[He held his waist and silently recalled another thing he had not told Kousaka Kyousuke. ]

[Just now, I heard that voice again. ]

[——Please restrain yourself and do not overuse this power. ]

[The gentle female voice that had appeared in his ears several times when he was in crisis seemed to still echo in his mind, causing him to close his eyes with a complicated expression.]

[——Every time you use this power, you will...]

[——One step closer to "darkness".]

[…Who are you? ]

[Holding this doubt, when Kousaka Kyousuke glanced over, Zaimokuza put on his smiling face again and followed. 】

……

【A certain aquarium in Adachi-ku, Tokyo. 】

[Baruba reached out and pushed open the sliding door on the top floor whose lock was broken, and walked forward ignoring the messy traces on the ground.]

[She walked through a corridor lined with exhaust fans and stopped at a corner.]

[“It seems that you are not at ease.”]

[Looking at Dorudo, who was sitting on a chair with tattered clothes and even a big hole in his hat, Baruba raised his eyebrows and said.]

[“…It’s my first time using this power, and I’m not very proficient at it yet, so I went berserk.”]

[Dorudo, who was dressed in rags like a refugee, was as frugal with words as ever. As he spoke, he bent down to pick up a plastic bag at his feet and took out a set of blue women's clothing from it. It was complete, even with the name tag still on it.]

[“So, what about Garima?”]

[Baruba was not interested in asking about the process and asked directly.]

[“Hmm——”]

[Before Dorudo could answer, a female moan was heard from the dark area behind it that was not illuminated by the light.]

[“…Where am I?”]

[Garima covered his forehead and slowly stood up from the ground. After seeing Dorudo with his back to him and Baruba looking over, he asked blankly. ]

[Although it was dark, with the faint light, one could see that Garima was completely naked, and the graceful curves of her body had a mysterious and primitive allure in the shadows.]

[No need to explain anymore, Dorudo silently threw the clothes in his hand back, and Garima subconsciously reached out to take them.]

[It did not put on its clothes immediately, but continued to look at the two with a puzzled expression.]

[“Have you lost your memory? It seems that you really can’t control your new power well for the first time.”]

[Baruba showed no surprise at this and spoke calmly.]

[“Think carefully about what you did before.”]

【"I……"】

[Garima covered his forehead and tried hard to recall what happened before. ]

[“By the way, I have already passed the game? So now I am…”]

[As soon as the words fell, the graceful female body in the darkness turned into a green monster, with a pair of scarlet eyes flashing a chilling light.]

[Garima, who has transformed into a Gurongi, lowers his head, looks at the Kiboron Magic Stone he wears around his waist, and reaches out to touch it gently. ]

[The original dark silver belt has now completely transformed into an obsidian-like black iron color.]

【"--Ha ha ha ha!!!"】

[Garima, who remembered everything, burst into laughter, and his body transformed into a human form again as the laughter resounded throughout the attic.]

[“Great! I am now worthy of the name GO-Garima-Ba!”]

[With no more doubts, she enthusiastically put on the clothes in her hands, not caring at all that there was a nominally male among the three present, and put the clothes on her beautiful body one by one.]

[“Congratulations. Also… as the first ME to be promoted to GO, you have a special privilege. It’s up to you to decide whether to use it or not.”]

[Baruba leaned against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest, and said to Garima who was getting dressed.]

[“Hmm? What privilege?”]

[Garima, who was putting a white triangle of cloth on her legs, turned to look at her with interest when she heard this.]

[“If you wish, you can start your own ‘dark game’ now.”]

[“Wow~? Can we do it now?”]

[After Garima finished dressing, he heard what Baruba said, and walked out of the darkness, walked around Dorudo who was facing away and came to her. ]

[“Of course, this is the privilege of the former group leader. You can start as long as you wish, but it will take another day to prepare.”]

[“Interesting, let’s get started.”]

【Garima raised his palm and slowly clenched it into a fist in front of his eyes. 】

[Feeling the surging power in its body compared to the past, its eyes were extremely intoxicated, and this feeling made Garima unable to stop. ]

[“That’s great. Let me try out this new power.”]

[Garima's long eyelashes closed, then opened again.]

[Its brown eyes in human form, now the left eye has turned pure purple, and the right eye has turned green.]

[“Let me experience how strong I am now. I will definitely be the first player to enter the “Game of White and Darkness”!”]
