My youth story cannot be a knight war

However, as his eyes opened again, the remaining struggle and anxiety in them disappeared without a trace, leaving only determination and resolve.

——"Unless... you... you choose to be..."

Holding the card holder, he reached for the gap in his belt.

"henshin."

"knight."

6. Dragon Knight Burst (6K)

"That is--!?"

Hayato Hayama slowly stood up and stared at the curtain that belonged to him, his eyes stunned and dazed.

His clear black pupils reflected the shadow of the dragon swirling in the sky. The red dragon formed a rotating red ring outside his contracted pupils, and the red dragon's huge orange-yellow pupils overlapped with the center of his trembling pupils.

It will definitely not be wrong, Ye Shan made this judgment in his heart.

This dragon, the red dragon in front of him, was the one who saved him that day!

Although he had been trying to forget the horrific experience of cycling between life and death a few months ago, every night when Ye Shan closed his eyes in his bed, the events of that day still replayed before his eyes.

Perhaps it was that day that he chose to close his eyes in the face of despair, so he could no longer forget everything by closing his eyes.

Whether it's the fire meteors that cover the sky, dyeing the dome into a dark and desperate ring of fire of destruction, burning all the flames in the surrounding world.

And in that hot and dark prison with closed eyes, the roar that bombarded the depths of the soul. Even though his eyes were closed at the time, the long shadow that tore through all despair and anxiety still penetrated the eyelids and was imprinted in his eyes, and then deeply engraved in his mind.

The roar that sounded in my ears at that time was exactly the same as the sound I heard now.

Was it you who saved me that day?

Compared to Hayama's thoughts, Hikigaya had only one thought at this time.

why?

He stared at the woman who appeared in the curtain, his future sister, and felt that his brain had become completely confused and turned into a mixed sukiyaki. Various thoughts popped up one after another, occupying the area of ​​​​reason step by step.

Why...the future Komachi also appears in the image on this curtain?

Didn’t we already know this before? A long time ago, Komachi had already... had already?

……well?

A long time ago? What was I thinking? Wasn't Future Komachi... going to get into a car accident during the cultural festival soon and die along with Zaimokuza's family?

Haven't we already changed the future?

Komachi...isn't she still here now?

Nourishes—

"Well……!"

It was as if a cold lightning flashed through his brain, followed by an intense pain. Hikigaya reached out and grabbed his hair tightly. His eyes were confused, and he staggered back a few steps before sitting back in his seat.

"Xiaoqi!?"

Yuigahama Yui quickly reached out to hold Hikigaya's shoulders, looked at his inexplicably distraught expression, and cast an anxious look at Yukinoshita Yukino who was silent beside her.

"Xiaoxue, what's going on? Why is it not only Hayato, but even Komachi appears in the veil?"

"...Hayama-san, Yuigahama-san, you two stay here with Hikigaya-san for now."

"I'm going to the infirmary to get something and will be right back."

Her beautiful brows were tightly furrowed, and there was an indescribable darkness in Yukinoshita's clear eyes. She also felt her mind was very confused now.

If we speculate that this curtain, like the light curtain in the previous video, has the ability to allow people to see the future, then Hikigaya's sister should have died in a car accident on the day of the cultural festival not long after... But why does she still appear in the future scene?

That must be a scene from the future. The evidence is Hayato Hayama who appears in it. His appearance and temperament seem more mature than now. Perhaps it has not been nearly ten years like before, but he is able to go out to work, which means that Hayato Hayama at that time had at least graduated from university.

In other words, Hikigaya Komachi should have been dead for several years by then... Wait?

Yukinoshita suddenly remembered something.

When the news was learned, in order to prepare for the tragedy that might happen in the future, the Servant Club proposed to Sobu High School to postpone the cultural festival for one month, and the school readily agreed to their proposal.

With such a huge change in time, many things can be changed. In other words... can the tragedy that will happen in the future be changed by us?

……Is it really?

For some reason, an indescribable uneasiness echoed in Yukinoshita's heart, and she couldn't suppress it no matter what she did.

beep beep-

"...!"

Hikigaya, who was sitting with his head down, suddenly felt the distinctive vibration in his trouser pocket, indicating an incoming call. Hearing this sound, his body trembled slightly, and he lowered his hands that were covering his forehead.

Reaching out the phone from his pocket, he opened the screen and saw the caller's name, and Hikigaya's confused eyes became a little clearer.

"Komachi."

[“henshin.”

The voice faded away from his ears, and his memory returned to reality. Facing the world reflected in the mirror in front of him, Ye Shan made his final decision.

——I want to fight.

To protect people.

Holding up the card box engraved with the dragon head emblem and facing the mirror, Ye Shan spoke in a low and decisive voice.

"Ow!!!"

In the mirror image, a giant red steel dragon roared towards the sky, and crimson high-temperature flashes bloomed in its open jaws. The dissipated high-temperature energy caused the surrounding air temperature to rise rapidly, and the spatial scene above the dragon's mouth was severely distorted.

After building up its strength, the red dragon suddenly lowered its head and ejected a crimson fireball burning at an extremely high temperature, igniting the atmosphere and falling downwards.

The fireball that fell from the sky burned the space and the atmosphere. The high temperature caused a tornado-shaped air turbulence along its trajectory, and its momentum was like that of a falling meteorite!

When the "meteorite" fell to the ground, its power was of course earth-shaking.

The moment the fireball came into contact with the ground, all the flames compressed inside immediately exploded due to the energy imbalance caused by the impact. Endless flames rushed upwards and bloomed in the shape of petals, covering most of the square.

"Tsk!"

When seeing the red dragon spraying fireballs downwards, Hoshino Aikuai felt a chill in his heart. He retreated without hesitation and jumped onto a tall building nearby. The surging waves of flames swept across the area where he was originally standing within three seconds.

The two spider monsters, which only had the instincts of wild beasts and lacked a high level of intelligence, did not have time to immediately decide to retreat even if they realized the danger was coming. When the flames swept over and engulfed them, the two huge monsters let out painful howls due to the high temperature burning them.

The blazing fire even invaded the mirrored surface of the high-rise building, passed through the gap between the two worlds, and the flames seeped out from the gap in the glass of the other building's exterior wall, burning towards Hayama and Hikigaya Komachi who were standing in front.

A scorching heat wave rolled in, and the leaves of the trees planted on the roadside of the building were burned yellow. At the same time, the bark kept cracking and the leaves fell bit by bit. The terrifying high temperature had risen to a level that could harm the functioning of the human body.

Hikigaya Komachi covered her face with her hands, her eyes almost unable to open, but she still tried her best to keep her eyelids open, trying to see clearly what was happening in front of her.

In front of the outer wall where flames were surging, Ye Shan stood still. He even held up the card box in his hand and walked towards the spiral vortex of flames.

In the flames, a blurry, dim shadow swirled towards him, and then a strong light emerged from it, completely submerging Ye Shan's figure.

"Ugh...!"

Unable to bear the stinging pain in her eyeballs any longer, Hikigaya Komachi chose to close her eyes. She did not open them until the high temperature dissipated and her eyes were no longer filled with red light.

"—"

The scene that came into her eyes made her breathing rhythm slightly stagnate.

In the mirror in front of him, a figure stood with his back to this side, facing the standing black spider monster in front.

The figure was wrapped in a red jumpsuit of incomplete material, and black armor similar to Hoshino's covered his knees and upper body. The head wrapped in the steel helmet still had flames, and his round red pupils shone faintly through the horizontal facial bars.

On the left arm of this figure, a strangely shaped thick gauntlet was tightly wrapped. The gauntlet looked very much like a dragon head, and the eyes also flashed with orange-yellow light.

Amidst the roar, the red dragon descended from the sky, circling around the figure, opening its jaws and roaring the most ferociously since its appearance at everyone standing in front of it.

“Ah~!!!!!!”

The fine dust on the ground was swept up by the roaring explosion, and Hikigaya Komachi stared blankly at the red knight surrounded by the red dragon in the mirror, muttering to herself:

"The red knight who uses a dragon as his contracted beast... Kaman rider..."

"...Ryuki?"

Staring at the new figure that had burst onto the battlefield, Hoshino tightened his grip on the hilt of the Dark Summoner and spoke in a low voice.

"Ryuki...Dragon Rider?"

Togashi Yuuta stared blankly at the figure in the curtain surrounded by flames and red dragons, with fire flickering in his warm brown eyes.

At this moment, the figure that appeared for the first time overlapped with another figure in his eyes. They were also in a space burning with flames, and they also chose to fight to protect mankind.

And likewise, the red warrior.

"To protect humanity... a warrior who drives a red dragon..."

Unable to help himself, he raised his hand and stretched it towards the scene in the curtain in front of him with trembling movements.

But the outstretched fingers stopped just inches away from the curtain, curled up, and swayed silently at the side of the body.

Togashi Yuuta suddenly felt a little scared. He felt like he could no longer find the figure that often appeared in his mind when he was a child.

It was not until this time that he realized a fact that could not be more clear.

"...Yeah, I graduated from chuunibyou a long time ago."

Looking at the fair and delicate palm of his hand, he smiled somewhat bitterly.

"Honestly, for a moment I actually thought I was still that 'Dark Flame Master who controls the strongest Black Flame Dragon'... How foolish."

[A sharp hissing sounded, countering the sweeping roar. The giant black spider stabbed its six limbs into the ground, lowered its body center of gravity, and its six scarlet eyes were fixed on Ye Shan who had completed the transformation.

Danger! Danger! Danger! ! !

The beast's unique premonition of danger kept telling it this fact. Although it did not possess intelligence, the beast's physiological mechanism intuition formed by surviving life-and-death battles far exceeded its thinking ability. At this moment, the spider monster felt a threat from the red knight that it had never felt since its birth.

It's like meeting a natural enemy. When natural enemies meet, there is no concept of escape or victory, only a fight to the death!

This extreme threat even temporarily overwhelmed its escape instinct, forcing it to follow its intuition and make the only choice at the moment.

That's attack!

A cold flash overwhelmed the heat still remaining in the air. The humanoid shell on the monster's head spread its arms, and sharp silver needles shot out from the hole in its chest, straight towards Ye Shan who stretched his hand to his waist.

They were called silver needles, but the size of these needles was basically that of arrows. Each of them made a cracking sound that tore through the air, and they were lined up in rows and formed into a long silver stream that bombarded Ye Shan.

The long stream of silver needles was about to touch his body, and he quickly took out a card from the card box on his waist, inserted it into the dragon head-shaped "Dragon Summoning Machine" card slot on his left arm, and then pushed the sliding dragon head upwards with force.

『Guard vent』

Boom boom boom~!!!

The sound was like more than a dozen heavy old cannons firing shells at the same time. The moment the silver needle hit Ye Shan, dust and smoke suddenly rose up on the spot, and the surging wall of dust and dirt submerged the entire area.

“▄??!!!”

At the same time as the attack was launched, a violent howl sounded behind the black spider monster. Hearing the sound, it quickly turned around and looked back.

The silver-white spear pierced through the humanoid's chest. Holding the spear handle with both hands, Hoshino looked at the orange spider monster struggling in pain in front of him and said indifferently:

"Go to hell, you garbage."

puff~

He flipped his wrists and thrust the spear upwards with force. The spear tip, as sharp as a blade, tore through the flesh and blood along the way, forcibly tearing the human form of the orange spider monster apart from bottom to top.

Blood and flesh fragments gushed upward along the path torn by the spear, and the trembling spider body below stopped spasming under this brutal blow. The ferocious arms that had grabbed Hoshino's shoulders dropped down, indicating that the monster had completely lost its breath of life.

"??!!!"

Watching his spouse being killed by Hoshino in front of him, a ferocious and miserable howl came from the black spider monster's mouth, and its limbs pierced into the ground and rushed towards him.

"Humph~"

Witnessing the black spider monster rushing towards him with terrifying momentum, Hoshino snorted coldly and waved his hand vigorously to shake off the blood on the spear, his tone full of sarcasm.

"——Look behind you, idiot."
