My youth story cannot be a knight war

Driven by this interest, it smiled and answered Akiyama Mio's question:

"Why am I still able to laugh? Do I need to explain the reason?"

【“——Because the more pain you suffer, the happier I will feel.”】

【Om—】

【“!!!”】

Akiyama Mio's misty pupils suddenly contracted, reflecting Jaraji's figure before her as it twisted and disappeared into a human form. Her narrow, crimson eyes flashed with a cold, evil light devoid of emotion.

[This scene was like the devil finally taking off the human disguise he had put on, revealing his true evil self.]

When she saw Jaraji transform into a Gurongi form, a fear far greater than anything she had experienced before washed over Mio Akiyama. Her body became as stiff as a stone statue, and she could only watch helplessly as it approached her.

When the distance between them was less than five meters, Jaraji reached out and grabbed the layer of white needles hanging from his neck, trying to pull one of them out.

Before the sound could be heard, a fierce attack had already struck from beyond the sight of everyone present. A cyan light, like a meteor, pierced through the darkness and despair that enveloped the room.

The transparent arrow pierced through the only window glass in the room, passing through the girls' bodies and passing by Akiyama Mio's ear. As her hair blew up, it struck Jaraji right in the chest as he walked towards her.

【--boom!】

【"ah!"】

The next moment, a fierce hurricane erupted from Jaraji's chest, knocking him back, and the aftermath also blew Akiyama Mio, who was nearby, to the ground.

Amidst the girl's unconscious screams, a green figure holding a crossbow crashes through the window, somersaulting and landing in front of the fallen Akiyama Mio. A pair of raised green eyes reflects Jaraji, who has been sent flying through the wall and collapsed in the living room.

["Mr. Zaimokuza..."]

Mio Akiyama looked up, seemingly still recovering from the impending death. She stared blankly at the figure standing in front of her and uttered his name.

[“Tsk! You’re back so soon?”]

Jaraji clutched his chest and stood up. The blow wasn't enough to kill him, but when he saw Zaimokuza standing in front of the girls, his cheerful mood plummeted and became awful.

Jaraji knew that since Zaimokuza had returned, it would be impossible for him to continue to attack his prey this time.

[Although it was very unwilling, it immediately decided to retreat from here.]

"I didn't expect that the clone that took away most of the power would be so quick—!"

【boom--】

A heavy whistling sound suddenly reached Jaraji's ears. Before he could even turn around, a pitch-black fist had already struck him in the face.

Amidst angry shouts and splattering blood, Jaraji was sent flying by the immense force of the punch. His body shattered the living room wall like a cannonball before falling into the woods below the villa.

【"Mr. Kosaka——"】

"Zaimokuza, you continue to stay here and protect them!"

Zaimokuza looked at Kousaka Kyosuke, who had sent Jaraji flying with a single punch. Just as he was about to speak, he waved his hand and gave an order, then rushed towards the direction Jaraji had been sent flying, leaving only one last word in Zaimokuza's ear.

"Number 33, leave it to me!"

【"Hello!"】

After saying this, Kousaka Kyousuke leaped from the gap created by Jaraji's collision, his figure also disappearing into the woods. Zaimokuza, unable to even try to stop him, could only helplessly lower his raised hand and turn to look at the girls behind him.

"Everyone! You didn't—"

[Before he could finish his words, the girl with black hair flew up in front of his eyes and threw herself into his arms, interrupting Zaimokuza's remaining words.]

Akiyama Mio wrapped her arms around Zaimokuza and hugged him tightly, her face pressed against his armor. Although her expression couldn't be seen, her sobbing voice clearly revealed her inner emotions.

"I, I'm so scared! It's so scary!"

【"Mio!"】

[Tai Nakagura, stunned by this series of events, also came to her senses when she heard her childhood sweetheart crying. With red eyes, she immediately rushed over and hugged her as well. The two girls hugged each other and burst into tears together.]

【“…”】

Zaimokuza looked at the two crying girls before him, then glanced up at Kotobuki, who was slowly sliding down to the ground by the window, holding Hirasawa Yui, and the other two girls. He quietly increased the strength in his grip on the Pegasus crossbow, and the sturdy handle made a dull sound under the force.

The burly figure reflected on the floor quietly transformed back into a thin silhouette. Zaimokuza reached out and embraced Akiyama Mio and Tiananaka Ritsu.

Listening to the girls' cries, Zaimokuza could clearly sense their relief at surviving and their fear of death. He lowered his eyelids to hide the expression in his eyes and spoke softly.

"You're all right... I'm with you."

……

[His feet stomped through the seawater-soaked sand, leaving a row of clear footprints on the beach. Covering his left cheek, Jaraji stumbled out of the woods and ran towards the other side of the beach.]

"Damn it! KUUGA, Daguber! Remember this, both of you!"

"I'll remember this! Next time I'll definitely—"

【call--】

A black figure suddenly rose from the woods behind it like a demon, its slender shadow dancing in its hand, and it quickly approached Jaraji's shadow on the beach.

Jaraji happened to witness this scene, and with a tingling sensation on his scalp, he followed his instincts and rolled onto the beach nearby, dodging the shadow approaching from behind.

The black spear was almost halfway buried in the sand. Seeing this, Kousaka Kyosuke loosened his grip on the spear without hesitation and rushed towards Jaraji, who hadn't even had time to stand up.

[“——You damn bastard!!!”]

[“Puff!”]

With a roar filled with rage, Kousaka Kyosuke swung his fist and hit Jaraji in the other side of the face, knocking him to the ground with blood splattering.

Although his Pegasus form was ranked last in terms of power, Jaraji felt his brain go blank and a strong buzzing sound echoed in his ears after being hit by this punch.

[Kousaka Kyosuke didn't intend to let Jaraji go just because he saw it fall to the ground. He directly straddled it and raised his fists, repeatedly punching at its face. Each punch contained the raging fire burning in his heart, and the force of each punch was heavier than the last!]

Each punch that landed on Jaraji's face was accompanied by splattered blood, even dyeing Kousaka Kyosuke's blue eyes red. However, his fists never paused for a moment, repeatedly rising and falling amid Jaraji's muffled groans.

The powerful force even penetrated Jaraji's body and struck him from below. The soft, moist sand was blasted with holes as if it were filled with explosives, but the next moment, the water swept over and the sand returned to its original state.

Under this almost one-sided beating and abuse, Jaraji's face was quickly covered in blood, and blood stained the sand and sea water beneath it, as well as Kousaka Kyosuke's fists.

【Bang bang bang——】

[Splattering mud and blood, Kousaka Kyosuke looked at Jaraji, who was bleeding profusely from his continuous attacks. The rage in his heart showed no sign of subsiding, and instead burned more fiercely.]

At this moment, the faces of the guards and police officers who had died in the villa before, as well as the students who had tragically died in this incident, flashed before his eyes. The cries from his memory seemed to ring directly in his ears. The grief-stricken and desperate cries of the parents who had lost their children in the hospital stimulated the nerves in his brain, burning Kousaka Kyosuke's mind.

[For nearly a year, Kousaka Kyousuke witnessed day after day the human tragedies caused by these unidentified life forms. Even though he never spoke of it, his hatred for these monsters was no less than anyone else's.]

Although he fought with hatred for Gurongi, he was always rational and never let these negative emotions control him. Because Kousaka Kyousuke knew very well that being controlled by emotions on the battlefield would only lead to death.

[But this time, all the anger and hatred hidden deep within him were completely ignited by Jaraji's actions, and he could no longer remain calm as before.]

Compared to the Gurongi, who used to hunt humans as a mere task, the Jaraji's methods were incredibly inhumane. Not only did they specifically target immature children, they also deliberately erased their memories of the killings, forcing them to only recall them at the last moment.

[At that time, the children who had no preparation and thought of all this knew that they were about to die. How desperate and helpless would they feel?]

[Kousaka Kyosuke didn't know, but he knew that if he were faced with this situation, although he wouldn't feel fear or despair, his mood would definitely not be much better.]

[——But unlike a warrior like him who had long since disregarded death, those dead students were just a group of ordinary children!]

They all had bright futures ahead of them, their lives barely even beginning, but this cruel demon snatched their lives away, and before they died, they suffered mental torture that was no less than torture.

【Giggle--】

The reserved and polite smile of Manabe when they first met came to mind, and Kousaka Kyosuke bit his teeth so hard that he almost broke them.

[…For the first time, unlike his colleagues who he had only met once or strangers he had never met before, this was the first time he saw someone he knew die from an unidentified life form.]

The death of a familiar person has a completely different impact on the mind than the death of a stranger. Manabe's death became the straw that broke the camel's back for Kousaka Kyousuke, causing him to release all his inner hatred and resentment towards Gurongi.

[Unforgivable…]

[Raising his bloodstained right fist once more, Kousaka Kyosuke looked at Jaraji, who barely raised his hand to shield his face. The flames of hatred surged, burning his soul, and a furious roar rang out from his throat.]

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!”

He didn't notice that his right blue compound eye was being eroded by another color at this moment, and the entire eye turned into another incomparably deep color.

[That is, pure and absolute darkness.]

[At this moment, dense blood vessels bulged out from the surface of Kousaka Kyosuke's raised right arm. A terrifying black mist swirled around his fist, and then he fiercely struck Jaraji, who was in a defensive posture!]

[——You alone are absolutely unforgivable! ! !]

【Snap.】

A strange sound suddenly struck from the corner of his mind. Kousaka Kyosuke's punch came to a sudden halt less than a millimeter away from Jaraji, and the whistling wind from his fist blew away the sand beneath him.

“Wha—Ughhhhhhhh!!!”

[Kousaka Kyosuke looked at his fist, and the question that had just come out of his mouth turned into a scream of pain.]

The next moment, a crimson electric current suddenly erupted from the belt he wore around his waist, leaping and flowing across the surface of Kousaka Kyousuke's body. The pain, far exceeding any previous one, instantly took away his ability to think.

[With his body wrapped in electric currents, Kousaka Kyosuke stumbled to his feet and backed away, then half-knelt on the ground, gasping softly through gritted teeth in pain.]

「Actually──at this time──!?」

Enduring the intense pain that continued to ripple through his body, Kousaka Kyosuke felt as if the pain was surging from his very bones, his body completely unable to muster even a single bit of strength.

“Damn—ugh!”

Just as Kousaka Kyosuke roared unwillingly, a strong sense of danger suddenly enveloped his heart. He immediately raised his head, and what caught his eyes was a flashing silver light.

[“Ah!”]

A dense row of long silver needles pierced the defenseless surface of Kousaka Kyosuke's body. Just as he let out a muffled groan, he suddenly discovered that the silver needles that had pierced him suddenly burst into a dazzling red light.

[“Shit—”]

[Before he could finish his words, a dazzling red light and raging fire engulfed his figure.]

[Boom boom boom——]

[Intensive explosions echoed across the beach, a pitch-black mushroom cloud bloomed, the shockwaves of the explosions pushed back the incoming seawater, and the sweeping blast winds caused the nearby trees to rustle.]

[“Ugh!”]

[Kousaka Kyosuke, his body wrapped in smoke and flames, flew out of the flames and fell far away on the other side of the beach. He curled up on the ground and groaned in pain.]

[G1's belt was ripped from his body by this attack and fell onto the beach not far from Kousaka Kyosuke. Without the belt, Kousaka Kyosuke's figure flashed with a wave of transparent waves and was forced to cancel his transformation.]

After undoing his transformation, Kousaka Kyosuke's appearance could only be described as miserable. Not only were his clothes torn, but his entire body was covered in bloody burns, and his face was incredibly pale.

[“Hmm…”]

He looked at the belt that had fallen not far in front of him and struggled to reach out his burned right hand to pick it up.

[“Uhhhhhh!!!”]

A foot suddenly appeared from the edge of his vision, crushing Kousaka Kyosuke's outstretched hand. It then rubbed his scarred arm vigorously, causing him to scream in agony, cold sweat instantly covering his forehead.

"Looks like luck is on my side, Daguber!"

Jaraji looked down at Kousaka Kyosuke, who was grabbing his ankle and trying to remove the foot that was stepping on his arm. His face, which had been beaten and bloodied, twitched a few times, revealing a hideous and distorted expression. He said,

"Is this the Kibolon that the Lindos created?"

“You…!”

Under Kousaka Kyosuke's piercing gaze, it bent down and picked up the G1 belt that had fallen to the ground. It tilted its head, looking at the belt reflecting its own face on the display screen in its hand, and suddenly laughed.

"Interesting. Let me give it a try."

[“Wh—Poof!”]

[Kousaka Kyosuke's eyes widened when he heard this, but Jaraji then kicked him in the shoulder, causing him to roll across the beach.]

[“This thing, this is how it should be used, right?”]

Jaraji stopped paying attention to Kousaka Kyosuke, who was lying on the ground not far away. He held the belt and examined it for a while, then his appearance twisted and turned back into his original human form.

Even after transforming back into a human form, it still had a bruised and battered appearance, but Jaraji simply wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth without a care in the world, then buckled the G1 around his waist.

【Om—】

[“Hmm! This power…”]

When the belt was buckled around his waist, red electricity spread across Jaraji's body, accompanied by a lit screen. However, Jaraji, caught in this current, did not show the same pain as Kousaka Kyousuke. Instead, he raised his hands, which were surging with electricity, with a look of surprise and spoke.

"Interesting, really interesting. The power of this belt—it's such a refreshing feeling I've never experienced before!"

[It smiled and reached out to press the authentication button above the display screen. The belt then emitted that familiar robotic male voice.]
