My youth story cannot be a knight war

[Listening to the words coming out of the other party's silver mouthpiece, Akiyama Mio suddenly opened her black eyes wide. ]

【"well?"】

[As she made a confused sound, Zaimokuza loosened his arms that were tightly around her waist and took a few steps back.]

【“You… why…?”】

【“——Mio!”】

[When Akiyama Mio was moved by Zaimokuza's human language and gesture of goodwill, an excited shout was heard. When Akiyama Mio turned around, she was hugged tightly by Tianzhong Ritsu who rushed over. The tomboy who was always fearless hugged her friend's slender waist tightly, feeling relieved that she had regained what she had lost, and buried her head in Akiyama Mio's shoulder and cried bitterly.]

[“You idiot! You know how worried I am! How am I going to explain to my aunt if you die?”]

【“Xiaolu… woo!”】

[Akiyama Mio felt the familiar warmth coming from her friend's embrace. When her hands touched Tianzhong Ritsu's back, the fear and relief of escaping death surged from her heart. The surging emotions were like an erupting volcano. Her eyes immediately became moist under the drive of this emotion. She also hugged her friend tightly and sobbed softly.]

[“I’m sorry! I’m so sorry!!!”]

[Akiyama Mio hugged her friend and said sorry repeatedly with tears on her face. Although she herself didn't know why she said it, the girl who had been defeated by fear before was completely unable to think and only knew to express her apology. ]

【"Mio-chan!"】

[Hirazawa Yui and Kotobuki Tsumugi, who were a few steps behind Tianzhong Ritsu, also caught up. They opened their arms and hugged the two who were originally hugging. The four girls hugged their friends and cried loudly together. ]

【"call……"】

【Looking at the girl who was saved by him and was safe except for being frightened, Zaimokuza breathed a sigh of relief. This breath immediately woke up the four girls who were hugging each other and crying. They were immersed in their previous emotions and realized that there was a "weird person" who was not human here. 】

[“Mio, Mio! Run! Stay away from this monster!”]

【Looking at the transformed Zaimokuza, Tianzhong Ritsu grabbed Akiyama Mio's wrist and tried to drag her away to escape. His eyes, still filled with tears, were filled with nervousness.】

[“Xiao Lu, wait a moment!”]

【“Mio!?”】

[To Tianzhong Ritsu's surprise, Akiyama Mio broke free from his hand that was holding her wrist, and turned around to look at the "weird guy" not far away at the opposite side after hearing his own surprised voice. ]

[Looking at Zaimokuza transforming into Kuuga, the timid Akiyama Mio subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away with her friends. ]

【But what just happened and what the other person said came to her mind. She swallowed her saliva and asked with some trembling.】

[“Just now! You—are you trying to save me?”] 3

【“——”】

[Zaimokuza looked at the black-haired girl in front of him with some surprise. She didn't run away immediately. When he wanted to respond, a sound from above made his eyes sharp. The four people opposite him clearly felt that the atmosphere around the "weird person" in front of them became solemn and murderous.]

["KUU——GA——!!!"]

【boom! ! ! 】

[The excited shouts that made people feel excited approached from above at a very fast speed. The next moment, a violent roar sounded from a distance behind Zaimokuza. He immediately turned to face the direction of the roar. The four girls behind him also looked past Zaimokuza's back and turned their eyes to the front. What they saw immediately made their faces turn pale.]

[“Long time no see, I missed you so much! KUUGA!”]1

Baduu pulled his feet out of the ground one by one, leaving two deep footprints on the smooth concrete floor. He looked at the familiar figure before him and spoke with a cheerful tone.

[“Woo!”]

[Seeing the terrifying figure in the distance, the memory of almost dying at the hands of the other party just now immediately emerged in Akiyama Mio's mind. Her face immediately turned pale, and the fear that came over her made her whole body tremble. ]

A hand suddenly blocked Akiyama Mio's sight, preventing her from seeing Baduu across from her. The girl subconsciously turned her gaze towards the tall figure before her.

[“Run away.”]

Zaimokuza stared solemnly at Baduu standing across from him. He felt a difference from the Gurongi he had encountered before. His heightened intuition sensed a faint sense of oppression coming from the enemy before him.

[“Ah, ah, ah, ah?”]

[The three girls behind Akiyama Mio heard Zaimokuza suddenly speak such a clear Japanese sentence, and immediately looked at him with a blank expression, and Tianzhong Ritsu even stumbled and asked in surprise. ]

【“You, you, you can speak human language!?”】

[“Ritsu-chan!? You are so rude!”]

[“Leave here now. I’m afraid I can’t protect you in the next battle.”]

Zaimokuza didn't answer their questions, but continued to stare at Baduu, who had his arms folded across his chest, his voice slightly hurried.

[“Do you hear the sirens coming from behind? Go find the police officer who is rushing over and ask him to take you away from here, quickly!”]

Seeing Baduu approaching, Zaimokuza retracted his outstretched right hand, placed both hands in front of his chest in a martial arts stance, and loudly urged the four girls behind him to leave this place that was about to become a battlefield.

[“You don’t understand what’s going on!? Forget it! Let’s run! Everyone!”]

[Taizhong Ritsu scratched his hair with a somewhat frantic expression, grabbed Akiyama Mio's wrist with one hand, and called the rest of his friends to run towards the increasingly clear sound of sirens behind them. The other two hurriedly followed and ran to the end of the street behind them.]

[At this time, Akiyama Mio did not break free from her friend's hand. While running, she looked back at the figure behind her that was getting farther and farther away. Suddenly, an impulse surged in her timid heart.]

【“Wait, wait! What’s your name!?”】

[She asked Zaimokuza hurriedly, hoping to get the name of the monster who saved her life.]

[Originally, Akiyama Mio didn't have any expectations for this. This was purely a polite inquiry for the other party's life-saving grace. In fact, she knew in her heart that this mysterious-looking person would not tell his name to an ordinary girl who met by chance, even if he had just saved this girl's life. ]

[But the next second, the answer that came out was once again beyond her expectations. ]

[“Kuga! My name is Kuuga!”]

[While running, Akiyama Mio turned her head and saw the red figure telling her his name without turning his head, and the right hand stretched out from the side again, with a thumb raised.]

【“Sora—I—?”】1

PS: Some relatives came to visit, and they brought some naughty kids with them. They even came into my room. You can probably predict what happened next...

I'm sorry for posting this only now. It took me a long time to clean up the room. I was so angry that I almost exploded. I felt so depressed... 3

24. A brand new power, the power of the Azure Dragon! (Two in one)

[“I repeat, my name is Kousaka Kyousuke, and my position is deputy inspector. I am currently leaving the scene with four ordinary citizens. Unconfirmed life forms No. 4 and No. 6 are currently fighting in Suginami District. Please send support personnel as soon as possible!”]

After finishing his words, Kousaka Kyousuke put the intercom back in its place and drove with a sullen expression. The four girls in the back seat and the passenger seat were reluctant to speak to the officer, whose expression seemed to be dripping with gloom. They drove in silence for quite a while.

[After a while, Akiyama Mio, who was sitting in the passenger seat, hesitantly broke the silence.]

[“Um… Officer Kosaka? I’d like to ask you something…”]

[Akiyama Mio looked at the nameplate hanging on Kousaka Kyosuke's chest and spoke tentatively.]

【"What's wrong, Miss?"】

[Kousaka Kyosuke glanced at the tear marks and red eyes on Akiyama Mio's face. Based on his experience, he judged that she had been frightened before, so he slowed down his tone and asked in a softer voice.]

[“Um, you just mentioned the unconfirmed life form No. 4… its name is Kuuga, right?”]

[“…Did he tell you that?”]

[The corners of Kousaka Kyosuke's mouth twitched, and Akiyama Mio clearly saw that this police officer, who gave people a serious and unsmiling first impression, actually rolled his eyes. This behavior somewhat broke her perception of this police officer.]

【"--Yes."】

[“Yes, yes, I remember now! That——Kuga? He did speak human language before, and he was the one who asked us to ask you for help, Officer Kousaka, do you know him?”]

[After hearing Kousaka Kyosuke's reply, Tian Zhongli, who was originally sitting in the back seat, became bolder and immediately opened the floodgates of conversation. She pulled the backrest of Kousaka Kyosuke's driver's seat with her hands, leaned out, and looked at him curiously. ]

[“Who is he? Is he the secret warrior that the police have been hiding? Or is he the product of some biochemical experiment, a companion who chose to help humans after learning human language and thinking? Or is he, like No. 6, the unknown life form reported in the news before, but he chose to betray his fellow human beings in order to protect them—”]

【"stop!"】

[For a moment, Kousaka Kyosuke felt that the person sitting behind him was not a young JK, but a female version of Zaimokuza Yoshiki. Feeling a headache, he subconsciously used the tone he usually used when talking to Zaimokuza.]

[As soon as he said this, the car fell silent. He realized that his tone was wrong and looked at the back seat through the rearview mirror. Tainaka Ritsu and Hirasawa Yui, who were frightened by his tone, were hugging Kotobuki Tsumugi's slender waist with tears in their eyes. The girl with long beige hair was frantically hugging the two people's heads to her chest, saying "Good boy, Mr. Policeman means no harm" to comfort them softly.]

[Thinking that something was wrong, he immediately slowed down his voice and spoke softly to comfort her.]

[“Sorry, your question involves internal secrets. I can’t answer you, but…”]

[He paused, and then Akiyama Mio, who was closest to Kousaka Kyosuke, was surprised to see that the police officer's face showed another expression that she had never seen before, except for the serious expression since they got on the bus.]

【That is a smile.】

[“What I can tell you is that the guy is a trustworthy ‘person’.”]

……

【“Taku!”】

[In an alley not far from the bustling shopping street, two similar shouts rang out at the same time, and two figures leaped up and crossed each other in mid-air, landing in the position where the other had originally stood.]

Zaimokuza turned around and once again assumed one of the opening stances of the martial arts he had learned. He looked at Baduu, who turned around with his hands hanging at his sides, and his heart was filled with solemnity.

[In the brief fight just now, he and his opponent were evenly matched. His knife attack on its neck was neutralized by Gurongi's fist hitting his wrist, and the opponent's elbow attack was blocked by his raised knee.]

"You've become weaker~KUUGA."

Baduu put his hands on his hips and watched Zaimokuza gently twist his neck. The "crackling" sound of bones rubbing against each other was extremely piercing in the quiet alley.

【Zaimokuza remained silent, still alert to the other party's every move.】

[“Hmph~”]

Seeing that Zaimokuza didn't respond or get angry, Baduu sneered and pointed with his left thumb at a group of apartments on the left side of the alley, then jumped up with both feet.

【“!”】

[In Zaimokuza's field of vision, he watched the other party's figure almost disappear on the spot and couldn't help but shudder. He remembered the direction it had just pointed, and rushed to the left wall without hesitation, jumped up and somersaulted into the square on the first floor of the apartment building inside.]

[This apartment building is about 30 stories high. There are tall buildings on all four sides of the square. There is no elevator, only four external staircases that spiral up along the tall buildings on all four sides. If you look up here, you will have the illusion that you are soaring into the sky along the spiral stairs, and the end point is the blue sky at the end of your vision.]

"Whose genius came up with this idea? Putting this kind of design in a residential building? Aren't you afraid that the residents will get lost?"

In the real world, many people working in the construction and interior decoration industries couldn't help but complain when they saw this bizarre Gothic design style. This kind of operation was done in a residential building. Not only are the four floors the same in appearance, but the most amazing thing is that there is not even a number sign. The residents here are probably all sports enthusiasts who have been engaged in maze challenges for a long time.

Zaimokuza warily watched the identical dew layers in all directions, always on guard against Baduu's attack.

【call out--】

[A sharp whistling sound came from behind him. Zaimokuza reacted quickly and turned around to defend himself, but was shocked to find that there was nothing behind him. ]

[“Woooooo!”]

A sharp impact came from behind, and Zaimokuza was sent flying by Baduu's kick. He fell flat on the polished floor, sliding a long way. The lower jaw of his mouth scraped against the ground with a swishing sound, creating dazzling sparks.

"The goal behind me is wide open, KUUGA!"

Baduu didn't retract his right kick, but instead slowly lifted his leg upwards, striking a perfect split. He folded his arms across his chest as he looked at Zaimokuza, who was sprawled on the ground with his butt sticking out. Even those who couldn't understand his language could hear the teasing in his tone.

[“You bastard…!”]

【Zaimokuza stood up, holding his chin. He felt as if a layer of skin had been rubbed off his chin. The iron jaw even felt hot due to the friction.】

"Is this the legendary chin brake?"

Looking at the slightly red steel chin of Mokuza in the video, many people subconsciously covered their jaws and took a deep breath. At this moment, they seemed to feel the same pain.

[“Go to hell!”]

Zaimokuza roared and punched Baduu's disgusting face. It bent its knees and jumped up again. Zaimokuza, not wanting to be outdone, also leaped towards the jumping opponent with both feet.

Baduu, already resembling a locust, truly acted like one. Its exceptionally strong legs allowed it to leap over 90 meters to the top of the building. Zaimokuza, on the other hand, stopped at about the seventh floor and fell, falling to the ground. He frantically reached the handrail of the external staircase.

"Hahaha! Kuuga, what's wrong? Is this the highest you can jump?"

Baduu squatted on the edge of the roof, looking down at Zaimokuza, who was climbing the stairs below. His laughter echoed through the building's sealed "mouth" structure. Zaimokuza, who was struggling to climb the stairs, was furious at the laughter and gritted his teeth, speeding up his climb.

[“Just wait for me! You locust-faced bastard!”]

Chiba Prefecture, Sobu High School, Service Club.

"Hahaha! I know it's inappropriate to laugh now, but why does this scene look so funny?"

Watching the video on the mobile phone showing Zaimokuza charging up the stairs, and the locust Gurongi squatting on the roof and laughing at him, it was just like a husky madly provoking a golden retriever through the iron fence. Shizuka Hiratsuka suddenly felt that this scene was inexplicably funny, and she couldn't help but slap her knees and laugh.

"Hiratsuka-sensei..."

When she heard the deep voice, she quickly suppressed her laughter and looked back, only to see Zaimokuza looking at her with resentment on his face, his resentment almost solidified.

"Sorry, I'm not targeting you, Zaimokuza. It's just that this scene looks too--hahaha!!!"

Before she finished speaking, Hiratsuka Shizuka burst into laughter again. Although no one except Yuigahama Yui laughed with her, a closer look revealed that although Hikigaya Hachiman and Yukinoshita Yukino had no expression on their faces, their shoulders were shaking slightly.
