My youth story cannot be a knight war

[“It’s the unidentified life form number four. It’s also the name of the warrior that Zaimokuza-san transformed into. He said that the Gurongi called him that.”]

【"Gurongi?"】

[“These are the real names of those unconfirmed life forms.”]

[“Tsk… I always feel like this is unreal. Whether it’s the terms you said, Yukinoshita, or the fact that Zaimokuza is Number Four, they seem to have nothing to do with the world we live in. They shouldn’t appear in our daily lives.”]

[After hearing the explanation, Hiratsuka Shizuka felt her headache getting worse, and she rubbed her forehead and said helplessly.]

[…On this point alone, I completely agree with what you said, Mr. Hiratsuka.]

[I remember receiving the news of my teacher and classmates’ death, the brutal killings committed by Number One when he broke into the police station, and the pain of Zaimokuza Yoshiki wearing the belt to transform in order to protect himself and everyone present, which led to every subsequent battle and injury, and the teacher’s widow’s tears...]

[Every time she thought of it, Yukinoshita Yukino's clear eyes became a little dim, and her hands couldn't help but tightly grasp the expensive backpack on her thighs. ]

[“That ruin, those monsters, and the belt inside Zaimokuza-san’s body, shouldn’t exist in this world.”]

[“The emergence of these unrealistic things may be the most malicious joke ever played by God on the everyday world we live in.”]

【“…”】

[The two of them fell silent for a moment, and the quiet atmosphere that should have been in the ward once again filled the space, depressing and silent.]

[“We’ve been chatting for so long, it’s time for me to go.”]

[“Anyway, according to what you said, Yukinoshita, this kind of injury is just a minor injury that can be healed within a day for Zaimokuza now, so I don’t have to worry about this kid that much.”]

[After sitting for a while, Hiratsuka Shizuka stood up and walked towards the door of the ward, and Yukinoshita Yukino also stood up quickly when she saw this. ]

[“Hiratsuka-sensei, won’t you stay for a while? Zaimokuza-san must have wanted to tell you something before he passed out. Maybe he will wake up soon.”]

[“No need~ I know what he wants to say.”]

[Hiratsuka Shizuka stopped, turned around and said with a smile.]

[“What Zaimokuza wanted to say has already been written in this picture book.]

[She picked up the picture book and shook it, then turned to the last page and held it up to Yukinoshita Yukino.]

On the back of the last page of the album, belonging to the cute version of the Service Club portrait, there was a message written in the corner:

[——I like Hachiman! I like the chief! I like Yuigahama! I like Hiratsuka-sensei! I like everyone in the Service Club!!!]

【——by Ashikaga Yoshiteru II, Zaimokuza Yoshiteru (?o??o?)?????! 】

[“Zaimokuza said what he wanted to say many years ago, but I didn’t realize it at that time.”]

[Hiratsuka Shizuka closed the album at the stunned Yukinoshita Yukino, and chuckled at Zaimokuza who was still sleeping on the hospital bed, but her expression turned a little distressed.]

[“But I’m impressed by this guy. He can write such ambiguous words of thanks. It was okay before, but with his current attitude, if he says something like that in front of girls, I can’t imagine how many innocent and naive girls Zaimokuza will let fall into his clutches.”]

[“Yukinoshita, do you have any information on this? As a teacher, I have to be concerned about Zaimokuza’s love life.”]

【“As far as I know, no.”】

[It took Yukinoshita Yukino a long time to react to the message on the last page of the album, and she smiled and shook her head. ]

[“Then you have to help Zaimokuza keep a close eye on things~ Don’t let the child you’ve worked so hard to raise be kidnapped by a strange woman. Although you don’t need to take an exam, being a parent like this is a very incompetent thing, Yukino-mama~”]

[“…Please stop making such ethical jokes, Hiratsuka-sensei. I am not Zaimokuza-san’s mother.”]

[“Mmmmmm~”]

[Faced with Yukinoshita Yukino's speechless expression, Hiratsuka Shizue smiled and gave a thumbs-up, then turned around and continued walking towards the ward. ]

[“By the way, there is one thing that I am very concerned about.”]

[When she gripped the door handle, Hiratsuka Shizuka seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Yukinoshita Yukino who was sitting down. ]

[“The other name written on the doorplate of this ward is Kousaka Kyousuke, right? Why is his name written on the same doorplate as Zaimokuza? Is he related to Zaimokuza?”]

[“Officer Kousaka is Zaimokuza’s best comrade and friend right now, just like—”]

[Speaking of this, Yukinoshita Yukino pursed her lips and continued. ]

[“…Just like Hikigaya-san back then, he is Zaimokuza-san’s irreplaceable friend.”]

[“…Is that so? Then I’m completely relieved.”]

[After hearing Yukinoshita Yukino's explanation, Hiratsuka Shizuka seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden, with a relieved arc on her cheeks. ]

[“Then, when Zaimokuza wakes up, tell him that I’m going back to Saitama Prefecture.”]

[“See you next time, Yukinoshita.”]

[“See you next time, Mr. Hiratsuka.”]

【Snapped. 】

[Hiratsuka Shizuka opened the door of the ward and walked out. Before leaving, she glanced at the doorplate with their names on the wall next to her, chuckled, and left without looking back.]

[“I’m really exhausted today, ugh~”]

[After walking to the hospital entrance, Shizuka Hiratsuka stretched lazily, her slender waist curved into a fascinating arc. ]

[“Yoshi! I have to go back and prepare for class. I have to deal with the mess those kids left for me tomorrow!”]

[“If I find out that someone dares to skip class, hehe~”]

[She patted her cheeks to refresh herself, put the album into her backpack, and walked out with brisk steps.]

[When Shizuka Hiratsuka came, her face was expressionless and her eyes were confused. When she left, she had a smile on her face, her eyes were happy and full of determination.]

[Zaimokuza Yoshiteru, he fulfilled the promise he made to his mentor, and also protected Hiratsuka Shizuka's smile. 】

[Beep, beep, beep—]

[“Hmm? Is there anyone else being sent in now?”]

[When Shizuka Hiratsuka arrived at the hospital entrance, she saw an ambulance approaching with its lights flashing. She quickly stepped aside to make way for it and curiously watched the ambulance drive into the hospital entrance.]

[“Well, I don’t know who you are, but I wish you good luck!”]

[“Be careful! The patient’s right shoulder may have fractured bones and various muscle contusions. Move gently and don’t create excessive vibrations.”]

[After Hiratsuka Shizuka left, the back door of the ambulance opened, and a doctor directed the medical staff to carefully carry the patient on the stretcher out of the car.]

[A young man wearing a classic police inspector's trench coat from TV dramas was tied to a stretcher and carried into the hospital.]

[While being carried down, the young man had no expression on his face, but for some reason, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.]

【“——!”】

[After being carried out of the car by the medical staff, he suddenly stared at the direction of the intensive care unit on the third floor of the hospital, his eyes were exactly the same as the eyes of a pet golden retriever when he heard a stubborn husky calling him an idiot.]

……

【Kanto Medical University Hospital, Tokyo. 】

【11:57 PM】

[In the intensive care unit on the third floor, a sticky note was stuck on the doorplate hanging on the wall of the ward.]

[——Welcome back, our hospital is now holding a welfare event for patients with special conditions. As long as you choose a one-year hospitalization package, you can immediately enjoy a 50% discount! ]

[——Of course, if you are short of money for special reasons, our hospital may also consider using special methods to reduce the cost. For details, please call the attending physician. You know the rules~ by Makishima Saori o(*≧▽≦)ツ. ]

["Your total card spending is 6.300.750 yuan. Thank you for using this card and I wish you a happy life."]

[A pair of bloodshot eyes looked at the stack of credit card bills that Makishima Saori sent over out of friendship. The palm holding the stack of bills kept shaking, and veins on the back of the hand bulged. ]

[The hand threw the bill into the trash can, picked up the revolver lying on the table in front of it, and shook it vigorously.]

[Crack. 】

[The gun chamber was expertly thrown out, and the six chambers that should have been loaded with bullets were empty.]

[All the bullets have been used up in the fight against No. 22.]

【“…”】

[Kousaka Kyosuke, wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown and with his right hand in a cast, put down his revolver with a dark face and turned his head to look behind him with a cold gaze.]

[“Huh————～]

[It makes you wonder if someone is pressing the toilet flush button. The sound is heard throughout the room.]

【Zaimokuza, who was wrapped in bandages, kicked the quilt under the bed again, spread his hands and feet in a "big" shape, drooling at the corners of his mouth, and the bubbles on his nose expanded and shrank with every deafening snore - the cycle repeated endlessly.】

【"whee--"】

[Zaimokuza had no idea what good dream he had, he smiled foolishly and scratched his belly. ]

[Snap——]

[Listening to this familiar laughter, Kousaka Kyosuke felt that the nerves representing rationality in his brain were directly broken. ]

[He walked silently to his own bed and picked up the pillow with his left hand, then walked silently to Zaimokuza's bed.]

[Looking at the white-haired man in front of him who kept laughing foolishly, Kousaka Kyosuke's eyes glowed red like a butcher looking at a rabbit that had been plucked and placed on the chopping board. The only thing left was to consider whether to eat stir-fried rabbit meat or braised rabbit head tonight.]

[He slowly raised the pillow, thinking silently in his heart.]

[Dad, you always said that the men of the Takasaka family would always take action when it was time to do so. I didn’t take it seriously before.]

[——But now, I feel that time has come. ]

[Thinking of the huge pile of bills thrown into the trash can, the numbers written on each bill were the hard-earned money he earned through life and death.]

[When I thought of their passing, the reluctance that remained in my heart vanished, and it gave rise to the most intense murderous intent.]

[The hand holding the pillow suddenly fell down, just like the God of Gamblers saying "Sho" after pressing his hand on the card table.]

[“Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm——”]

[In the quiet corridor of Kanto Medical University Hospital at night, faint cries and sounds of struggle suddenly came from the intensive care unit on the third floor.]

[Soon after, the sounds of wailing and struggling disappeared, and a quietness that was different from the previous bustle enveloped the ward, and an inexplicably eerie atmosphere appeared.]

[Crack--]

[The doorplate with the names "Kousaka Kyousuke" and "Zaimokuza Yoshiki" hanging on the intensive care unit suddenly swayed without wind and fell to the ground.]

[The sound of falling echoed in the silent corridor, like the prologue before the appearance of the evil spirit in a ghost story.]

……

【Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Scientific Research Institute. 】

[“Finally done.”]

[Hina Ebina pushed up her glasses and looked at the contents through the laboratory glass with a smile on her face.]

[A vague human figure was supported by a stand and stood in the laboratory. Because there was no light, it was only possible to make out that it was something resembling a human figure.]

[At the location of the head, three silver horns similar to those of insects shone with a strange dark silver light even in the dim room.]

[“Next, we have to wait for the fit person to arrive. But he seems to be hospitalized again. What a headache! The test time will be postponed again.”]

[“After all, this thing can’t be used by ordinary people. If someone doesn’t have the physical fitness like him and puts it on, he will probably die immediately after using it.”]

[She picked up a stack of documents on the table in front of her, sighed helplessly, and rubbed her temples with a headache.]

[On the top right corner of the first page of the information that Ebina Hime was holding, a young man in a police uniform with a serious and calm face was looking at the camera. His piercing eyes seemed to allow the viewer to see the perseverance hidden in his heart through the photo.]

[This is obviously the information belonging to Kousaka Kyousuke. ]

82. Mutation.

"What's this!?"

The amount of information provided by Hina Ebina who appeared at the end of the video was so overwhelming that the audience, who had been shedding tears or even laughing uncontrollably at the love-hate relationship between Kyosuke Kousaka and Yoshiki Zaimokuza, stopped laughing and started excitedly discussing it with the people around them.

Chiba Prefectural Chiba Benbun High School, health room.

"Is that some kind of combat armor? And Miss Ebina wants me from the future to be the wearer!?"

Kyosuke Kousaka, who was originally curled up in the quilt with his face covered, looking at his future "self" who was a policeman and broke the law to commit murder, suddenly became energetic and began to watch the video attentively, no longer caring about the life or death of Yoshiki Zaimokuza in the video.

Anyway, that rabbit gives people the impression that it will never die until the end of the world. Instead of worrying about that guy, you might as well worry about how your future self will repay your credit card debt.

As a new generation of children in this world who have been deeply influenced by the special effects of the Sentai series and mecha movies since childhood, Kyosuke Kousaka certainly had the fantasy of getting weapons like transformation devices or armor to fight villains who threaten the survival of mankind when he was a child.

He even secretly gave himself a team name, called "Selection of Heroes to Judge the Evil That Abandons Justice"!
