My youth story cannot be a knight war

"Ah-ah-ah-ah!? Stupid Kyousuke! When did you hook up with this woman?!"

Kousaka Kirino was completely stunned, staring at the video of Makishima Saori admitting that she liked her brother in front of her brother's unconscious bed. A creepy red light appeared in the depths of her eyes, and her golden hair floated under the black aura emanating from her body.

"Kirito, Kirino?"

Aragaki Ayase looked at her friend in front of her with a trembling face, who was emitting murderous aura, and felt as if she suddenly didn't know her.

“Eh, aaaaaaaaaaa!?”

Saori Makishima, who was watching TV at home, had her face flushed red, her big eyes were spinning like mosquito coils, and her fingers were trembling as she pointed at "herself" on TV. She was so shy that she could hardly speak.

"What are you talking about!? My future self!"

[“It’s no secret that I like Kosaka-kun. Almost all the staff in this hospital know about it except for him.”]

[Makishima Saori tossed her hair that had spread over her shoulders and spoke carelessly, her words and gesture revealing the calmness and composure of a mature woman.]

[“What a slow-witted person you are. He has already hinted at it so many times that it’s almost obvious…”]

[She leaned on the bed with both hands, looked at the unconscious Kousaka Kyosuke with deep eyes, and a half-smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. ]

[“Is that so? Kousaka-kun.”]

[Kousaka Kyosuke did not reply. After all, it was impossible for a person in a coma to answer her words. Otherwise, the situation would probably be very awkward.]

[“Is that so…”]

[Tsurumi Rumi blushed and turned her head to the side. For her, who had no experience in love, this straight ball was indeed a bit beyond her defensive ability. ]

[“This is advice from an adult. If Tsuru sees someone you like, you’d better confess to him/her as soon as possible. Otherwise, don’t regret it if someone else snatches him/her away~”]

[“You should know that boys are very reserved. When you like him, he may also like you, but he is afraid that you don’t like him so he has been holding back and dare not confess. As a result, many boys really give up in the end, so girls have to learn to take the initiative.”]

[Makishima Saori playfully narrowed one eye and shook her finger at her. Rumi Tsurumi, who felt that she was being completely crushed in some way, could only accept her "teaching" with a hesitant expression.]

[“…Yihui, you’ve really changed a lot.”]

[With nothing to say, Tsurumi Rumi looked at Zaimokuza who was still unconscious, her eyes were inexplicably complicated, and her right hand slowly clenched the red scarf on her chest. ]

[Feeling the touch of the scarf, Tsurumi Rumi's eyes gradually became blurred, and a scene from many years ago appeared in her memory. ]

[The boy with white hair and a round face smiled and stretched out his hand to her in the dark night, and spoke.]

[——It’s an appointment…]

[“I wonder if he still remembers our agreement after all these years…”]

[“Hmm? What? Did you have some wonderful and touching agreement with Zaimokuza in the past?”]

[Makishima Saori, who was very observant, heard her mumbling and immediately came forward with a gossipy look on her face. She was then pushed out by the ashamed and angry Tsurumi Rumi. They had just known each other for less than three hours, but now they were already playing around like best friends. It can only be said that women can really become friends quickly when it comes to these strange things.]

[“Nothing. Let’s go, Ms. Makishima. Don’t disturb Yoshiteru and the others.”]

[“Hey~ Tell me! What kind of agreement do you have with Zaimokuza? Is it that when he grows up, he will marry—”]

【“Ms. Makijima!”】

【boom. 】

[With the door closed and the two people's voices fading away, the ward returned to silence.]

【“…”】

[But just as their voices completely disappeared, Kousaka Kyosuke, who had fallen into a "coma" due to the injection of painkillers, suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, silently looked at the closed door of the ward, and sighed silently. ]

……

[Kwandong Medical University Hospital, intensive care unit on the third floor. ]

【02:56 AM】

[It's late at night, and that's when many night walkers are active. ]

[Kousaka Kyosuke is still lying on the same bed as last time, still staring at the ceiling expressionlessly, his eyes open and bloodshot.]

["——————Snoring, snoring, snoring, snoring, snoring, snoring~"]

[It still makes me wonder if someone is pressing the toilet flush button. The sound is still so continuous throughout the room.]

【Kousaka Kyousuke opened his bloodshot eyes again and turned his head to look. Zaimokuza, who was lying on the other bed like last time, kicked the quilt under the bed again, with his hands and legs spread out in a "big" shape, saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth, and the bubbles on his nose expanded and shrank with every deafening snoring sound - the cycle repeated endlessly.】

[“Ahem…”]

[Even this blood pressure-raising giggle is the same as last time.]

[Kousaka Kyosuke no longer doubted whether this guy could find a girlfriend - he had already determined that this guy would probably have to spend the rest of his life with only his right hand. ]

【“……!”】

[The five fingers of his only intact left hand twitched and twisted irregularly. Kousaka Kyosuke tried his best to suppress his impulse as a policeman to break the law. He pulled the quilt over his whole body and continued to endure the snoring that was comparable to the mooing of a cow. His spirit, which was already somewhat overwhelmed by staying up late and working, continued to weaken.]

["——————Snoring, snoring, snoring, snoring, snoring, snoring~"]

[The second night spent in this intensive care unit was still very long, just like Zaimokuza's snoring and the murderous intent rising in Kousaka Kyousuke's heart. It was estimated that there would never be an end in sight. ]

38. The Awakening of the Earth

【Shibuya-ku, Tokyo.】

【04:56 PM】

[“Wow!!!”]

[With a painful scream, a tall figure fell from the roof of a building more than ten stories high. His body, which was more flexible than steel, did not have blood and flesh flying everywhere like an ordinary person would after falling from such a height. Instead, he smashed a clear human-shaped dent on the asphalt road.]

[“Hmm…”]

[A black hand with sharp claws stretched out from the depression and pressed on the ground. The figure stood up from the ground, shaking his head. It was obvious from the swaying figure that he had fallen heavily.]

[This is a cockroach-like Gurongi. It has killed nearly 40 people since it appeared yesterday. Its killing method is to tie the neck of the person with the long whiskers on its face and then perform a German back throw to break the victim's neck. All the people it kills are athletes who are engaged in wrestling activities or competitions. The official code name given to it by the police is Unconfirmed Life Form No. 20.]

[And today, when it was hunting its fiftieth target, it was ambushed by the police who had been waiting here for a long time. A fierce conflict broke out between the two sides. Fortunately, the police had evacuated the citizens in this area. Otherwise, with this battle trajectory that almost spanned the entire area, many innocent people would have been killed and injured.]

[“Damn it…”]

Me-Gorigi-Ba covered his head and cursed in the Gurongi language. He had never imagined that these Lindo warriors would react so quickly, surrounding him just as he had achieved his goal. Moreover, the weapons they used this time were even more powerful, forcing him to flee for his life.

【"drink!"】

With a soft shout, a blue figure leaped from the rooftop where Gorigi had just fallen, landing lightly as a feather not far in front of it. As it turned, its blue compound eyes and golden horns on its head shone brightly.

[“…KUUGA!”]

Gorigi gnashed his teeth as he pronounced the name of the person who came out. He raised his right arm. The wrist armor on his arm was inlaid with a pitch-black blade, which gleamed fiercely in the sunlight. He raised his arm and rushed towards Zaimokuza.

Zaimokuza, transformed into his Blue Dragon form, gripped the Blue Dragon Staff in both hands, bracing himself against the enemy charging towards him. He somersaulted forward, dodging Gorigi's slashing blade towards his face. After landing, he turned around and stabbed the enemy in the back with the staff!

[“Hmm!?”]

Zaimokuza let out a startled sound from his mouthparts, watching as the end of the Blue Dragon Staff, about to strike Gorigi, was bound by several black tentacles, preventing it from advancing an inch.

[“This trick is useless to me!”]

Gorigi sneered and turned his head. The tentacles on his head seemed to have life and wrapped around the Azure Dragon Staff, becoming tighter and tighter. He raised his right hand and suddenly turned around to cut behind him!

[Clang! 】

【At the critical moment, Zaimokuza held the Blue Dragon Stick with one hand and dodged the knife with a single move. The sharp arm blade almost passed by his face, so close that he could hear the sound of the air being cut. However, the Blue Dragon Stick was not as lucky as him. The arm blade directly cut it in half. The moment the stick was cut, sparks burst out and it broke into two pieces, one long and one short.】

[“That was a close call! I almost lost my life.”]

[He used his backbend to do a backflip to distance himself. Zaimokuza looked at the half of the Blue Dragon Staff left in his hand and was thankful. If he hadn't dodged quickly, the knife would have cut his head off from his neck.]

"Come and die! KUUGA!"

Gorigi flung its tentacles, discarding the entangled half of the Blue Dragon Staff. This time, he raised both hands and charged towards Zaimokuza, who was holding the other broken staff. Zaimokuza looked at the cockroach Gurongi charging towards him, gritted his teeth, slapped his hand on his waist, and was about to transform into his all-around form, which was more suitable for bare-handed combat, to meet the attack.

【Bang bang bang——】

Several bullets shot past Zaimokuza's ears with the sound of gunfire. All of them passed over his body and accurately hit the onrushing Gorigi. Not a single one missed. The bullets exploded upon impact, releasing white gas.

[“Ahem——is this damn thing again!?”]

Gorigi, running, felt as if he had drunk poison after inhaling the white smoke. Dizziness and nausea rose from his head. He couldn't help but cover his face with his hands and stumbled back several steps, coughing painfully from time to time.

【“Zaimokuza!”】

【“Mr. Kosaka!”】

[Zaimokuza turned around in surprise, only to see Kousaka Kyosuke wearing a helmet, driving the Triangle Chaser 2000 in his right hand and holding a sniper rifle in his left hand, driving towards here. The white smoke from the muzzle floated backwards at the speed of the gun, indicating that it was he who fired the gun just now.]

[Zi——]

[The motorcycle's tires deviated in direction, and Kyosuke Kosaka drove the Triangle Chaser 2000 with one hand to make a smooth deviation, and the rear wheel scraped a clear track on the ground. ]

[“Now, solve it!”]

[Kousaka Kyosuke picked up the sniper rifle with both hands and fired again at the Gorigi, whose white smoke gradually dissipated. He watched it struggle in pain and spoke coldly, his eyes devoid of any sympathy or emotion for these Gurongi.]

【“OK!”】

[Zaimokuza gave a thumbs-up cheerfully, then immediately turned to face the enemy with a serious expression, raised his hands high and slapped them down at his belt! ]

[The blue spirit stone on the belt flashes again with a buzzing sound, and the three colors of red, blue, and green change alternately, and finally a brand new color appears——]

【Purple!】

[“Super Transformation!”]

[Zaimokuza raised his right hand forward, and after concentrating on saying this self-suggestion that would increase his concentration, he tapped it on his left belt buckle, and spread his hands to both sides. A purple light immediately shone brightly from his waist, and his form began to change!]

[As the purple light bloomed, a set of silver armor with purple stripes covered the blue armor in the shape of a blue dragon. The pearls and jade inlaid between the armor on the hands and feet turned purple like pure purple agate. Two round silver shoulder armors with purple edges extended from the shoulders, and the blue compound eyes also turned purple.]

【"drink!"】

[The silver-armored hand grasps the starter handle of the Triangle Chaser 2000, twists and pulls it to remove it and holds it in his hand. Zaimokuza slowly places the handlebar at his side as if holding a sword, and turns his wrist.]

【Om—】

[The short handlebars become transparent with a buzzing sound, and their shape stretches and changes. After the transparent color disappears, a large sword with a purple base and golden edges appears in Zaimokuza's hand.]

[This is the new form? ]

【Kousaka Kyosuke, who was sitting on the Triangle Chaser 2000, stopped shooting and turned to look at Zaimokuza standing beside him with flickering eyes. Zaimokuza, who had transformed into this new form, was wearing armor and holding a large sword, like a general about to go to war on the battlefield in ancient times, and he was surrounded by a sense of tenacity that was as unshakable as a rock.】

[“When an evil creature appears, a warrior wearing steel armor and slashing the evil with earth-shattering force… His final form is a warrior with a sword?”]

[Kousaka Kyousuke murmured the translation of the inscription that Yukinoshita Yukino had sent them via mobile phone. His voice was like a poet reciting a memory engraved in the world itself. A sense of wildness swept over from the inscription and words.]

【"It's coming!"】

[clang——]

[After Zaimokuza's chilling voice fell, the sword in his hand once again extended a hollowed-out blade from the middle, and the sword made a loud and clear sound as it turned with his movements.]

[Kuga·Titan Form·Titan Sword. ]

High-level Training Academy, student dormitory.

"This should be Kuuga's final form...but its potential, or Zaimokuza Yoshiki's potential, should be more than this."

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka wrote a few neat regular script characters of "Titan Form" on the notebook in his hand with a pen. His calm eyes were fixed on the screen of a mobile phone that was propped up on the table in front of him. There was only a thin screen on it, and there were no other parts that a mobile phone should have.

No matter how many times Ayanokouji Kiyotaka thought it was amazing that a mobile phone screen without any electronic components could display clear images without the support of other devices. This really made people curious and they couldn't help but wonder what the principle was.

39. Titan Sword

"Almighty, Azure Dragon, Pegasus, and Titan. Kuga's four consecutive forms each possess their own unique characteristics. Their fighting styles differ, as do their weapons. Almighty has balance, Azure Dragon has agility, Pegasus has perception. And this Titan, based on its form and weaponry, has a 70% chance of being a form that strengthens defense and focuses on frontal combat."

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was drawing the image of Kuuga in Titan form in the video under the title in his notebook with a pen as he spoke. His drawing skills were excellent and he never stopped even though his eyes were fixed on the screen of his mobile phone. In less than a minute, a sketch of the Titan form with extremely clear outlines had already appeared on the paper. The arrangement of each line showed a kind of long-honed proficiency and beauty, and it was obvious that he had worked hard in this area.

"But these are not the main abilities of these forms... Elemental awakening, through this special method, the power of these forms can be truly displayed. The Azure Dragon form controls water, the Pegasus form controls wind, and according to the inscription translated by Yukinoshita Yukino, the elemental power that this Titan form controls should be... Earth?"

"and many more--"

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka suddenly stopped drawing on the paper. He flipped the page with the Titan form forward and came to the first page of the book. It depicted the scarlet figure of Kuuga in his almighty form. Various ability annotations were written on the blank space next to it, all of which were analyses of Kuuga.

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka stared at the scarlet almighty form, his eyes thoughtful.

"Water, wind, and earth. If the element controlled by this omnipotent form of Kuga is something like controlling heat, then doesn't this just fit the four elements of 'earth, wind, water, and fire' in ancient Indian Buddhist culture?"

"According to the viewpoints and concepts of ancient Indian Buddhism, the harmony of the four elements, earth, wind, water and fire, will give rise to various physical forms, which are called "color". If the four elements are out of balance, it will lead to "disease". If any one of them is missing, it will lead to "death".
