My youth story cannot be a knight war

[“Hey~ As expected, you understand me, Buchou.”]

[Zaimokuza playfully tapped his head with one hand, closed his single eye and stuck out his tongue and said this. This artificial and girlish gesture made Yukinoshita feel a chill all over her body, and he said this with a slightly disdainful look in his eyes.]

[“…Although Zaimokuza-san was originally a naughty kid who never grew up, why do I feel like you’ve been turning back to the weird person you were in high school after the incident on the 25th? Can evolution also go in reverse?”]

[“Well, as long as you are happy, my smile looks very sincere, right?”]

[“…Forget it, let’s get straight to the point.”]

[Reaching out his hand and pushing away the smiling face that Zaimokuza had brought close to him, Yukinoshita ignored his antics and spoke.]

[“Regarding the matter you asked me to investigate about the golden power that appeared in you, I have searched through all the records about ‘Kuga’ in the inscriptions so far, but I have not found any corresponding part, so I speculate that this power has never appeared in Kuuga in the ancient times, but first appeared in you, Zaimokuza-san, in the modern times.”]

[“Huh? In that case, even you, the Minister, don’t know the true nature of the golden power?”]

[Zaimokuza, who had started talking about serious matters, also put away his funny expression, and after listening to Yukinoshita's summary, he scratched his hair in annoyance.]

[“This is really a headache. If I don’t even know the nature of this power, how can I name Kuuga’s new form? I can’t just call it ‘Kuga Titan Form Golden Power Version’? That sounds too tacky!”]

[“…Is it such a boring thing that you care about?”]

[Even though he was a calm person like Xue, he was speechless after hearing what Zaimokuza said. He felt that his heart suddenly became very tired, as if he had entered menopause early.]

[“But Zaimokuza-san, you underestimate your own captain. Since there is no record in the past inscriptions, we can just look for clues from you to verify it.”]

[“For example, based on the battle record of No. 26 that Officer Kosaka intercepted last time, I found the golden totem that appeared under your feet when you used your power for the first time. I have already compared it with the ancient Lindo texts and know what it roughly means.”]

【Click.】

[Yukinoshita reached out and hit the enter key on the keyboard, and two comparison videos popped up on the computer screen. On the left was a video of Zaimokuza using the golden power for the first time, and on the right was a Gulindo font full of pictographic features.]

[That font is very abstract, like two people facing each other, connected by a chain in the middle. Yukinoshita pointed at the font and said.]

[“The meaning of that totem in the ancient Lindo language is - ‘soul’.”]

【"soul?"】

[Zaimokuza was stunned when he heard this word, and then he immediately came closer with a curious look on his face. 僖]

[“Is this true? Does the soul really exist in this world?”]

[“It’s not clear. With the current level of technology, there is no way to prove whether the soul really exists. But if it is the ancient times when the technological capabilities are still unclear... maybe they have really confirmed the existence of the soul.”]

[“But the information we know now is still too little. Based on this discovery alone, we cannot infer whether the entity of Zaimokuza-san’s golden power is the legendary soul. The only thing that can be confirmed is that it can be strengthened again based on Kuuga’s original form representing the four elements, raising your power to an unprecedented level.”]

[Yukinoshita pondered for a while, then shook her head and said.]

[“Come to think of it, Zaimokuza-san, you have already used the power of gold to activate several forms.”]

[“Hmm… There are the blue form representing water, the green form representing wind, and the purple form representing earth. These are the only three forms that have been driven using the golden power.”]

[Zaimokuza said this while counting his fingers, and Yukinoshita said something strange after hearing this. ]

[“Are there only these three types now? What about the red form? Haven’t you ever used the golden power to drive it?”]

[“Red form… that…”]

[For some reason, Zaimokuza's expression became a little strange after hearing this, and his eyes wandered around the room, and he spoke inexplicably hesitantly.]

[“Although I have never used it in combat, I have tried to do so before, but…”]

[“What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with the red form?”]

[“It’s not a problem, how can I put it?”]

[Zaimokuza placed his hands on his waist, feeling the Yamadam spirit stone hidden in his body, and after hesitating for a while, he finally told Yukinoshita the reason in her inquiring eyes. ]

[“I have always had a hunch that the red form driven by golden power is fundamentally different from the other forms. Once used... that power will probably affect everything around it.”]

[“Besides, if I really do this…I always feel like something terrible will happen.”]

[“Terrible things? What exactly do you mean?”]

[Yukinoshita frowned when she heard this and asked. ]

[“Um, I will—”]

[Beep, beep, beep——]

[Just then, Zaimokuza was interrupted by the vibration of his cell phone in his pocket. He looked worried and subconsciously took out his cell phone without even looking at it, pressed the answer button and put it to his ear.]

[“Hello, may I ask——Mr. Kosaka?”]

【"--What!?"】

[Before he could finish, the words spoken by Kousaka Kyousuke on the other end of the phone made his face change drastically. ]

……

【not long ago. 】

[A building in Nerima-ku, Tokyo. ]

[The white ball rolls on the turntable, and the red and black grids below keep flowing as it rolls, until it finally stops on a certain number.]

[“Red 16～”]

[Zazaru looked at the position where the ball stopped on the turntable, waved the paper fan in his hand and said in a nonchalant tone.]

[“Found it. It’s in this place.”]

[Jaraji spread out the Tokyo map in front of him, pointed with his pen at a small area in Koto Ward with "Kameido" written on it, and looked up at Gamego who was sitting on the chair on the other side and said. ]

[“…This area is a bit small.”]

[Gamego glanced at the area number written on the map and frowned.]

[“It seems there aren’t many prey here. What should we do? Should we change to another place? If you don’t mind breaking the rules?”]

[Jaraji suggested with a smile, not hiding his ill intentions at all.]

[Although they are companions belonging to the same group, they are now opponents in the same game. The more players are eliminated, the happier it is. ]

[“Hmph~ Thank you for thinking of me, but I don’t need it.”]

[Gamego snorted coldly, straightened his suit, stood up, opened the door next to him, and walked out without stopping.]

[“Waiting time is so boring~ You should be killed by KUUGA and GO as soon as possible, so that it will be my turn in the game sooner.”]

[Jaraji didn't care about its indifference. After Gamego left, he took the white ball from the Russian roulette and kept tossing it up and down. There was a hint of red flowing in the depths of his eyes.]

[“I really want to hear it soon…”]

[I don't know what it was thinking as it looked up at the ceiling chandelier, and the corners of its mouth slowly drew a happy and strange arc. ]

[“The prey were filled with pain in the face of death, but they were unable to resist, and were ultimately completely swallowed up by despair.”]

[“There is no more beautiful music in the world than their cries~”]

【Click.】

[The white ball that was not caught fell into the turntable and after rolling for a while, it came to the red 34 position. ]

[The liquid in a bottle of whiskey on the table reflected the dim light, which just happened to be reflected on the ball, covering the ball with a layer of strange and dim color like blood.]

……

[“…It seems to be there.”]

[Gamego narrowed his eyes after reaching the top floor. His brown pupils reflected a large area with people coming and going in the distance.]

[There is a market there, people are walking around in an orderly manner, many familiar housewives are standing together and laughingly discussing daily trivial matters, such as which child has made progress, which neighbor has found a good job, and other daily trivial matters, while the shop owner next to them is shouting hard to promote his products...]

[People were living in peace and contentment, not knowing that a disaster was about to befall them.]

【"snort."】

【Om—】

[The shadow of the man on the ground was instantly distorted, and the powerful Gurongi who had once forced Zaimokuza into a desperate situation in the battle replaced the human form and slowly reached out to take off the ring on his finger. ]

[He clenched his palms tightly, and the small ornament turned into a heavy chain ball in an instant. Gamego swung it with both hands, and the rotating iron ball emitted a deep whistle in the air like an earth rumble.]

[“Pain is but a moment’s matter. Become my sacrifice to advance to the “Game of White and Darkness”, Rindo!”]

[The monster's mouth, which was full of sharp teeth, opened and closed, and every word that came out of it carried an indescribable bloody smell.]

[Not only that, as Gamego swung the hammer faster and faster, the black spheres in a line were gradually covered with a layer of purple ripples, and the gravel and dust at its feet kept trembling, and then they were sucked into the rotating hammer. ]

[At the end of the rotation, a miniature whirlwind had formed around Gamego, and the swinging chain ball was wrapped in the stone chain formed by the wind, like a meteor made of stone. ]

【"drink!"】

[With a roar, Gamego threw the hammer in his hand with force. A violent sonic boom erupted from the front of the ball, and the hammer flew far away at a very fast speed.]

[“Hmm? What is that…”]

[A group of women dressed as housewives were discussing a topic. Suddenly, one of them, a pregnant woman with a big belly, heard a rapid whistling sound and looked up in surprise.]

[A black "shooting star" appeared in her eyes, and it arrived in a flash the next second. ]

【--boom!!!!!!】

[They didn't even have time to realize the pain. In the deafening roar, their bodies were instantly torn apart by the powerful shock wave that erupted at close range. The human flesh and blood body was as fragile as a fallen leaf in front of this force, and could only be ruthlessly torn apart in front of the storm.]

[Not only that, the many pieces of rubble carried by the chain ball also scattered and fell like a rainstorm towards the market ahead. The huge potential energy made these small stones have the power that is no less powerful than bullets, tearing everything in the forward range into pieces. No matter whether it is people or objects, they have no power to resist in the face of the mechanical violence of war.]

[This market was like being bombed by artillery shells, with huge explosions occurring one after another. Sparks and blood were rising one after another, mixed with the screams of humans.]

[People a few streets away heard the noise coming from here. Just as they looked up in the direction of the sound, bright red "rain" suddenly fell from the sky, soaking their bodies. The pungent smell of blood entered their brains through their sense of smell.]

【"ah……"】

[One of the passers-by felt something falling on his head. He reached out and took the object down, then placed it in front of his eyes and fell into a daze.]

[——It was a human eyeball.]

[The true form of the red "rain" is not rain, but body tissue and blood swept up by the shock wave after the human body was shattered.]

[Before he realized what it was and let out a terrified cry, another pitch-black ball of chain had already fallen from the sky...]

……

[When the roar came to a halt, everything came to an end. ]

[At the end of the sight, a raging fire was burning in an area belonging to Jiangdong District, and thick black smoke rose into the sky. ]

[“Looks like he’s in good shape.”]

[Looking at the hell on earth that he had created with his own hands, Gamego not only did not feel the slightest bit of pity, but nodded with satisfaction and turned back into human form, then changed the chain ball in his hand back into a ring and put it back on his finger. ]

[It walks downstairs, preparing to select a new game area using the Russian roulette.]

[——Unconfirmed life form No. 30, Go-Gamego-Re, first committed a crime in the Kameido area of ​​Koto-ku, Tokyo. A total of 34 buildings were destroyed, and the economic losses started at several billion yen.]

【Death toll: 987.】

[Number of seriously injured: 5,462 people.]

[Number of people slightly injured: Unable to count.]

18. Water Beast

"vomit!!!"

When the people outside the light curtain saw this horrific scene, especially the broken human eyeball, many of them who could not bear it vomited on the spot and almost vomited out the overnight meal that had been digested in their stomachs.

There is no way, this scene is really too heavy, it is rare even in the most heavy B-level movies, and the most important thing is that this light curtain has no age limit, so this is a pure natural version without any obstruction.

"vomit--!!!"

With a livid face, Kyosuke Kousaka grabbed the trash can beside the bed and buried his face in it, vomiting wildly. Now he didn't have to worry about the loud noise here attracting other people's attention and letting them know he was here, because the whole school was now filled with the sound of vomiting.

Although there had been similar scenes at No. 6 before, experience and habit were two different things, and the impact of this scene was too great.

Even if they are essentially the same person, Kyosuke Kousaka is not "Kousuke Kousaka" after all. He is still young and immature now, and is not the iron-blooded detective in the future who has undergone countless life-and-death trials in the Shura battlefield and whose spirit has become as solid as a rock. If he were replaced by "Kousuke Kousaka", no matter how bloody the scene is, it would at most make him frown, but Kyosuke Kousaka could not stand it at all.

"These monsters - even a thousand deaths would not be enough to atone for even one ten-thousandth of the evil they have committed!"

After vomiting so much that his stomach could no longer feel any digested food, Kyosuke Kousaka wiped the filth from the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand with trembling movements, then looked up at the light curtain again with an unprecedented fierce anger in his eyes.

Especially when he saw Gamego walking downstairs leisurely after committing such a bloody crime with his own hands, his back and steps were light and happy, but without any guilt, Kousaka Kyosuke could no longer bear it and punched the sheets under him hard, and the whole bed shook violently a few times because of his punch.

Thinking of the pregnant woman with a big belly in the light curtain who was torn into bloody pieces in an instant by the attack from the sky, Kyosuke Kousaka felt that he finally understood why the future "Kousaka Kyosuke" would rather die in battle than retreat from the battlefield so many times when facing those unconfirmed life forms, and he also realized what kind of mood he was in when fighting.

Unlike "Zaimokuza Yoshiki" who hates to use violence but chooses to fight with his fists for the simple desire to protect everyone's smiles, the reason why "Kousaka Kyosuke" fights, in addition to wanting to protect the citizens, is out of the purest hatred and the burning murderous intent from the bottom of his heart to wipe out these monsters that should not exist in the world.
