My youth story cannot be a knight war

Tobe Sho subconsciously covered his right chest with both hands and took a breath, then turned to ask Zaimokuza who was sitting there. Miura Yumiko and Yukinoshita Yukino, who originally wanted to quarrel, turned their heads away, unable to bear to watch. Especially Miura Yumiko, her face turned pale. I don't know what she thought of this scene, and the hand that was not holding the phone wrapped around her plump chest.

Hikigaya Hachiman and Hayama Hayato were both staring at Zaimokuza who was sitting on the chair. Although his face was a little pale, he was no longer shaking all over like last time. His eyes were fixed on the "self" who was screaming in the video.

Come on! Future me, he thought silently in his heart.

【"drink!"】

Having had enough, Baduu gripped the halberd that had pierced Zaimokuza's chest with both hands. With a roar, he lifted Zaimokuza up and flung him upward. Zaimokuza, still clinging to the Blue Dragon Staff, screamed as he was thrown back. Blood spurted out as the halberd left his chest, leaving a trail of crimson in the air as he was thrown.

【Plop! 】

Zaimokuza was thrown into another swimming pool that hadn't been filled yet. The collision of his body and the water created a huge splash, and a red flower bloomed on the surface of the pool.

[Zaimokuza held the Blue Dragon Staff in his right hand, and sank to the bottom of the pool. Red blood flowed out from the wound on his chest into the water. In the sunlight shining through the water, the blood flowed out like a red curtain swaying in the water, beautiful to the point of being almost eerie.]

[So strong, too strong...]

【Zaimokuza sank weakly to the bottom of the pool, the scene in front of him gradually blurred, many past memories emerged in his mind, and many people's faces appeared in front of him, and he also knew that this was a revolving lantern.】

[This time, it seems like I’m really going to die. ]

[He smiled helplessly in his heart. As expected, the setting that a hero will not be defeated by the same enemy for the second time is a lie written in a special effects drama. Reality is so cruel and brutal. If you can't win, you can't win. No matter what reasons you have, it's useless.]

[Sorry, Minister, I may disappoint your expectations.]

[Zaimokuza recalled the words he heard yesterday when he was half conscious, and sighed silently. In the end, he still couldn't——]

【Um? 】

[He suddenly remembered the note that Yukinoshita Yukino had left on the bedside cabinet when he woke up today, and the long sentence that was a bit difficult to read.]

[“When an evil creature appears, he transforms its various skills into invisible forms, and calms the evil warrior like flowing water”…”]

【Zaimokuza murmured this translated inscription, and the sound became blurred and distorted in the water, like a broken film frame, or like the first cry he made when he was born into the world in the distant past, shaking his inner world.】

[His hundred skills... formless... the form of flowing water... flowing water? ]

[Flowing water is flowing water...water?]

【Zaimokuza couldn't help but stretch out his hand, and close his palm. Although his hand was empty, he felt as if he was holding something. That thing was flowing through his hand, invisible and formless, but he could really feel its existence.】

[That is water. At this moment, I am sitting on the wooden seat at the bottom of the swimming pool. I can clearly feel this thing that I have never felt before, but it is real and exists around me.]

Water is one of the essential elements that make up the world. All life on this planet originated in the ocean. The ocean gave birth to the first life, which then came to land from the ocean, and then multiplied and evolved, giving rise to the world we have today. In this sense, every living thing is inseparable from its connection with water.

[Water has never left this world, but few people can touch it so closely and truly feel its omnipresence. ]

[“Water… calms evil with its flowing form.”]

[Zaimokuza was stunned as he felt the world filled with water in front of him. His dim blue compound eyes gradually lit up, and the bottom of the swimming pool was like a falling star shining with blue light.]

[“I… understand. This is the blue form—the real power!”]

【Om—】

At the moment of his enlightenment, a sudden burst of blue light illuminated the underwater world. The spirit stone on Zaimokuza's waist emitted a fierce humming sound never before heard. The blue light swirling within the spirit stone on his belt surpassed its limit at this moment, transforming into a lake emitting azure light, reflecting and embracing everything before him.

“Impossible, what on earth is this——!?”

Xu Guoliang slowly stood up from his chair, looking at the blue light curtain in front of him in shock. The blue light shone through the lenses of his glasses, and a familiar yet unfamiliar figure was reflected through the lenses. The scene was engraved in his shrinking pupils and he gradually stood up.

……

[“It’s time to end…”]

Baduu leaps from the bottom of the pool, standing at the edge where Zaimokuza fell. Through the rippling water, he watches Zaimokuza's figure twist and turn underwater. He raises his halberd high in one hand, his arm muscles bulging. The tip of the blade, gleaming coldly, aims at the swaying form of his enemy in the water, ready to hurl it with all his might!

[If it is thrown with all its strength, the power of this halberd is comparable to that of a torpedo. When it is thrown into the water, the surface of the water will be blown up, and the long halberd will penetrate the heart of the enemy under the water that has been entangled with its clan for countless years. Then the backflowing water will bury Zaimokuza's pierced body again, and this place will become his burial place. ]

[With this strike, we will completely put an end to this evil relationship that has lasted for countless years! ]

[“Go to hell! The ancestor of my clan——!???”]

【call out--】

Just as it roared and was about to throw its halberd, a strange sound of breaking through the air approached rapidly from behind. For the first time, the sense of crisis in its heart roared, warning Baduu of impending danger.

Baduu swiftly turned around, halberd in hand, his deep blue compound eyes reflecting a sharp bullet shot from beneath the puff of smoke.

【boom--! ! ! 】

The incoming shell struck Baduu's black double-headed halberd, emitting a deafening explosion. Fierce flames and shockwaves spread in all directions, and a cloud of black smoke, mixed with splashing water, enveloped the pool area. A muscular figure burst through the rising smoke, flying far away before smashing through another nearby wooden house. The fragile structure collapsed under the impact of the spreading shockwave, burying it once again. Numerous women's swimsuits flew through the air; presumably that was where the swimsuits were sold.

[“Hoo…Hoo…”]

[The shoulder-fired rocket launcher with white smoke coming out of the muzzle fell beside the opened black metal box. Kousaka Kyosuke half-knelt on the ground, panting. His right eye was soaked with a mixture of sweat and blood. Feeling the pain unbearable, he simply closed his eyes and used his remaining left eye to observe the smoky swimming pool.]

[“Zaimokuza… wu…”]

"Amazing! Mr. Kosaka, you're the MVP of the game!"

Ishigami Yu looked at the computer screen with admiration, and saw Kyosuke Kousaka kneeling on the ground and gasping for breath.

This man was beaten to a low health, but he was still able to drag his seriously injured body and hold a heavy and powerful weapon to track his own and the enemy to another place without the help of any means of transportation. Although bloody footprints were left along the way, he finally arrived at the critical moment and delivered a fatal blow that changed the situation of the battle. What a god-level teammate in the jungle!

"You can always trust Kousaka Kyousuke!"

"fine……"

Kyosuke Kousaka breathed a sigh of relief when he saw "himself" in the video finally arriving at the critical moment, calmed his violently beating heart, and a smile of relief appeared on his face.

[In the gradually dispersing smoke, Kousaka Kyosuke did not see Zaimokuza standing up from the swimming pool, which made him feel depressed. He took off the sniper rifle on his back and used it as a crutch, limping towards there.]

[“Hey! Zaimokuza! Are you okay—”]

【boom!!!】

In the distance, the fragments of fallen wooden beams suddenly exploded like a buried bomb. A tall, black figure slowly rose to its feet amidst the scattering dust and debris. Baduu covered his face with one hand, and curls of white smoke rose from him.

【"you--"】

The hand covering his face slowly loosened, and the skin, blackened by the shockwave and flames of the explosion, quickly healed. Soon, unharmed, Baduu looked at Kousaka Kyousuke walking towards the pool. His voice was devoid of any rationality, filled only with the madness and violence of a mad beast.

[“You are looking for death, Linduo!!!”]

Unprecedented shame and hatred filled its dark and bloodthirsty heart. This hatred even surpassed the resentment it felt when it was sealed by the previous generation of KUUGA. It was unbelievable that it was repeatedly stopped and even severely injured by a person it looked down upon, Lin Duo!

"In the name of Zu-Baduu-Ba, I will throw you from the peak of the highest mountain in this land of Lindor!"

Baduu immediately placed Kousaka Kyousuke at the top of its must-kill list, immediately surpassing Zaimokuza's ranking in its heart!

It grabbed a long fragment of the wooden door at its feet. The fragment stretched and transformed in its hands, and another black double-headed halberd appeared in its hand. Baduu angrily swung the fragment away at its feet, and walked towards Kousaka Kyosuke with the halberd in hand.

【"well……"】

[Kousaka Kyosuke lowered his head and sighed, then raised his head with a tired expression and raised his sniper rifle, aiming at the approaching enemy while speaking.]

[“Zaimokuza, I don’t know if you can hear me, but I want to tell you…”]

[“I’m here. I’m by your side now. You don’t have to fight alone anymore.”]

【boom! 】

[Bullets shot out from the muzzle, accompanied by smoke and sparks, but Baduu simply raised his halberd to block the bullet aimed at his face. Sparks exploded on the halberd, but it was useless, and his speed showed no sign of slowing down.]

Even though his attack was futile, Kousaka Kyousuke showed no sign of despair or slackness. He pulled the bolt to eject the cartridge, then aimed again at Baduu, shooting at its feet. After hitting it, the creature paused for a moment before advancing again. The bullet was squeezed through the squirming muscles of its leg and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

[“Didn’t you say before? You wanted to fight alongside me.”]

[“Now I am here, and I am standing right here, just a stone’s throw away from you.”]

[Amid the roar of gunfire and smoke, Kousaka Kyosuke's firm voice was not concealed, and his eyes were fixed on the enemy approaching in his field of vision without wavering.]

[“I’m right here, and what are you doing? Now is not the time to sleep. Didn’t you say that you never break a promise you made with others?”]

[“——I’m right here! Waiting for you to fulfill your promise to fight alongside me!”]

[“Stand up! Zaimokuza Yoshiki!!!”]

[Finally, the high-pitched roar spread throughout the small park. There is no other such clear roar in the world, like an awakened soul announcing its awakening to the world.]

[The pace suddenly stopped, Baduu looked at Kousaka Kyosuke, and gradually spoke.]

【"you--"】

Its voice was filled with disbelief, even hinting at fear, like an ordinary person seeing a ghost, or like an extreme materialist unexpectedly witnessing the reality of the world, and having their understanding of the world completely shattered.

[Patter. 】

[A faint voice came from the swimming pool behind him. Kousaka Kyosuke was stunned and turned around with a stunned expression.]

[“That’s… a really loud rebuke.”]

【“Mr. Kosaka.”】

[Zaimokuza put one hand on the water surface, stood firm, and slowly straightened his body. He looked at Kousaka Kyosuke and said, although his face could not be seen, there was no doubt that he was smiling from the sound of his voice.]

[…Wait, standing? ]

Where is he standing?

[Kousaka Kyosuke's eyes slowly moved downwards, and the next moment he understood why the unconfirmed life form No. 6 made that sound.]

[Let me explain some physics about water here. Do you know why people sink in water? ]

[Many people think that as long as the body is light enough, it can float on the water. In fact, it has nothing to do with how heavy or light you are. The reason why people sink is because of their own density. ]

[If the density of an object is greater than the density of water, then no matter how small or light it is, it will sink. A typical example is a pebble.]

[However, if the density of an object is less than the density of water, then no matter how big or heavy it is, it can float on the water. A typical example is wood. Except for children, the density of adults is basically greater than the density of water. But the scene in front of us completely violates this law. ]

[——Zaimokuza Yoshiteru, he was standing on the water, holding the Blue Dragon Staff, standing upright, his back to the setting sun in the distance.]

【"you……"】

「Ah? Don’t be so surprised about this, Mr. Kousaka. This is just the true power of Kuuga’s form.」

Zaimokuza walked over to Kousaka Kyosuke step by step, each step creating tiny ripples on the water, until he walked out of the pool and reached Kousaka Kyosuke.

[“I’m very touched to hear you say that, Mr. Kosaka… But I’m sorry, could you please stand aside for a moment? Otherwise, you might get hurt.”]

[Zaimokuza gave a thumbs up to Kousaka Kyosuke. Kousaka Kyosuke could almost see the row of white teeth of the white-haired young man when he smiled through this insect-like face.]

[“Leave it to me next.”]

Zaimokuza turned his gaze back to Baduu, his voice gradually becoming deeper and sharper.

[“KUUGA! This is impossible! How can you still stand?!”]

Baduu stared at Zaimokuza intently and said this in Japanese, his tone filled with undisguised horror.

[“You asked me why I was able to stand up? I don’t know, maybe it’s just that I didn’t want to fall down in the first place.”]

[“Next, it’s time to solve the problem between us, No. 6.”]

[Zaimokuza opened his left hand that was not holding the Azure Dragon Staff and stroked the Spirit Stone at his waist. The blue light turned into blue liquid in the Spirit Stone. There was a faint sound of flowing spring water, and a deep blue light shone in his blue compound eyes.]

[“——Let me use the true power of this blue form to bury you in hell completely!”]

[“——Drink aaaaaah!!!”]

【Swish, swish, swish——————！ ！ ！】

[As Zaimokuza's voice gradually became higher and higher in pitch, the sound of the tide surging in the spirit stone could be clearly heard this time, ringing in the ears of the three people present.]

[A blue ripple spreads from the spirit stone on Zaimokuza's waist to his entire body. With Zaimokuza as the center, a blue whirlwind suddenly blows around him. The water on the surface of the swimming pool behind him is attracted by the swirling whirlwind and is sucked into it, forming a water tornado that envelops Zaimokuza and is about three meters high!]

[“Ugh!?”]

[Kousaka Kyosuke, who was standing next to Zaimokuza, was blown down by the waterspout. He crossed his hands in front of his face to block the flying water droplets, and squinted his eyes with difficulty to look at the vague figure in the waterspout.]

[Finally, the blue water tornado shrank inwards, then violently exploded in all directions, the water turned into mist and spread out in all directions, with faint rainbow colors flashing in the scattered water mist, reflecting an incredible illusion! ]

[Zaimokuza raised his head, and his blue eyes, which continued to shine like the ripples of water, reflected the ferocious and evil figure of the enemy.]

【"This is……!"】

[Kousaka Kyosuke put down his hands and looked at Zaimokuza, whose appearance had changed drastically, with a tone full of shock.]

"How is this possible? This is..."

Xu Guoliang stared blankly at the brand new Kuuga on the screen, his eyes widening as if they were about to burst open, almost reaching the limit of human ability to open eyes.

"Could it be that this is..."

Zaimokuza held the phone in his hands with both hands, and the lenses of his black-framed glasses also reflected that new figure.

[The water is flowing, reflecting countless colorful lights and shadows in the air.] 1
