It was also at this time that Miura Yumiko discovered something very strange, something that a person consumed by fear would not do, or something that would never happen even under normal circumstances.
That is, the locations where they are now are isolated.
There were people running away in panic on both sides, but no one thought of pushing themselves who were supposed to be blocking their progress. Instead, they took a detour to the other side.
A more intuitive manifestation was that she saw with her own eyes that the poor man who should have been knocked away by the person behind him and should have fallen on her according to the original trend, was strangely thrown to the other side as if by some invisible force when he was about to fall on her.
Yumiko Miura is not stupid, as she was able to get into Sobu Private High School, a school that ranks among the best in Japan. When she thought about her friend's abnormality, she understood something.
But she wouldn't ask. No matter what her friend's purpose was in hiding the truth, it was the other person's privacy. There was no need for her to cross the bottom line set by her friend. That was not what friends did.
Yumiko Miura chose to remain silent.
Yuigahama Yui did not notice anything unusual about her friend because her attention was now focused on Zi Meibio Da.
After discovering that the other party once again slaughtered a target in three seconds, she whispered: "It's true!"
Hearing the confident voice coming from the side, Miura Yumiko became more certain of her inner guess, and at the same time had more hope that she could survive today.
[Yoshi~ Even though it's a bit of a stretch, I'll have to try my best!]
Yuigahama Yui cheered herself up in her heart and began to mobilize the strength in her body.
[Come on, Yui!]
[You can do it!]
This time, Yumiko Miura saw clearly that her friend's eyes were covered with a faint amber light.
"Everyone, listen to me. The killing pattern of this unidentified life form is to catch up with the first person in the crowd within three seconds and kill him by dragging him. As long as we don't move, it won't kill us."
[Is that all? And wasn't the guy killed by a bullet through the heart?]
As soon as doubts arose in Yumiko Miura's heart, reality gave her the answer.
"Oh, so all I have to do is not move?"
"Then just stay still. We can't be faster than that monster anyway."
"That's right, I'm going to die anyway, so I might as well just lie down and wait for death."
Words like these kept coming out of the mouths of the panicked people. Even though they were still afraid that their lives were threatened, they did not take any action. They just listened to Yuigahama Yui's words and waited quietly in the same place.
[Very good, just hold on like this. As long as they calm down, I can also cancel the instructions from their brains.]
"Yui, are you okay? You're bleeding from your nose."
The images in her field of vision began to become blurry, the sounds she caught in her ears were also accompanied by a heavy buzzing sound, her brain felt as if it was wrapped in something and felt groggy. The strength to support her legs was also dissipating at a very fast rate, causing her to begin to stagger. She wanted to speak to comfort her friend who was worried about her, but now she didn't even have the strength to open her mouth.
[No, Yui, you have to hold on, otherwise everyone here will die!]
Yuigahama Yui knew very well that the reason why the crowd did not flee in panic and were able to withstand the intimidation of Zi Meibio Da was because she used her supernatural powers to suppress their body's subconscious reaction to fear and avoid being scared away.
If she can't hold on now, even if everyone knows the right way to avoid death, when faced with the fear of a serious threat to their life, the body will take away the brain's rationality and choose to escape from the fear in front of them, thus losing their own life.
So, Yuigahama Yui had no choice.
[I really hope a hero will appear at this time!]
Yuigahama Yui thought so in her drowsy mind.
"Oh? I was wondering why Lin Duo suddenly became smarter. So there is a superpower here?"
Zi Meibio Da had arrived in front of Yuigahama Yui at some point, and with his arms folded across his chest, he looked down at Miura Yumiko, who was standing firmly in front of her friend, even though her brain was devoured by fear, she was still able to restrain her body from escaping.
Then he pushed her lightly and threw her to the ground. He lifted Yuigahama Yui's neck with one hand and let her hang in the air. Her face, which should have been pale due to excessive use of super powers, turned red this time due to suffocation.
"I have extra points for Sora in Kiruru, and I also have extra points for espers who have the potential to evolve into Agito. It seems I'm lucky."
As he spoke, Zi Meibio Da raised his right hand, ready to pierce Yuigahama Yui's heart just like he had done to the middle-aged man before.
The moment his right hand thrust forward, Zi Meibio Da had already seen a bright future. After all, Kuuga were common, but it was rare to find a superpower who could evolve into Agito and had not yet been killed by an angel.
It can encounter all these, which proves that it has good luck. It will quickly complete the game and be promoted to Mei Group, and then to Ge Group. It will not be a dream for it to defeat Daguba.
However, fantasy is always beautiful, but reality is often cruel.
"No~ Yui…"
"Bang~"
"Uh huh~"
At the same time as Miura Yumiko's words fell, the sound of Zi Meibio Da screaming in pain was heard as he was kicked away by the monster that broke in through the window from above.
The monster carried the half-conscious Yuigahama Yui to the ground and quickly turned around and rushed towards Zi Meibio Da who had not yet climbed up. It grabbed it and threw it out of the door, then followed it out of the broken window and left the mall before everyone had time to react.
"Ahem…"
Yuigahama Yui's violent coughing woke up Miura Yumiko's thoughts. Fortunately, the force that Zi·Mebio·Da used to push her away was not very strong, and she was fine except for her staggering steps. Otherwise, she would not have been able to come over to check on her friend's safety.
"Yui, are you okay?"
"Youmiko, I'm fine. I'm just too tired. I need to rest. Don't worry, I'm not dead. I'm just really tired..."
After Yuigahama Yui finished speaking, she fell asleep under the horrified gaze of Miura Yumiko. Fortunately, she found that her friend was really asleep and not out of breath, otherwise she really didn't know what to do.
After all, everything that happened today was simply too much for the girl's brain to handle.
"But what about that monster? It seemed like it was saving Yui just now. Was it an illusion?"
The monster that broke in through the window kicked Zi Meibio Da away, but instead of pursuing the opponent, it hugged Yuigahama Yui who was carried to the other side by the remaining force. This gave Miura Yumiko this idea.
However, the figure of the monster that looked like a stag beetle, coupled with the actions of the cheetah-like monster figure Zi Meibio Da just now, made her quickly put this thought out of her mind. She began to support her friend with difficulty by herself, and told the little girl who had been silent beside her to walk out of the mall in the panicked crowd.
I don't know if Yuigahama Yui's superpowers were still working, but the panicked crowd still did not push Miura Yumiko and the others who would have been the most likely to become scapegoats, but avoided them as before.
Chapter 12: Hikigaya Hachiman in a tough fight
[Phew~ Fortunately I came here early, otherwise Yuigahama would have…]
Hikigaya Hachiman glanced at the hole that was opened with lingering fear, and saw Yuigahama Yui covering her neck and coughing violently, and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
[Then the next step is to fix it.]
He looked warily at Zi Meibio Da not far away, and information about it began to emerge in his mind.
"Zi Meibio Da Cheetah Gurongi has a very fast speed, and the Pegasus form can be dealt with in one shot."
Hikigaya Hachiman raised his head and glanced at the setting sun which had turned red.
[Although I know you are strong, but have you ever thought about how weak I am, Rixon? Can't you give me some guidance? This mode that looks like a big boss is not suitable for a weak chicken like me!]
Hikigaya Hachiman once again complained in his heart and handed the Aguru Belt to his super ancient warrior Riku.
"Pegasus form - requires stronger concentration than before, and focuses on everything that the five senses can capture in order to activate it. However, after activation, the five senses will increase to an incredible degree, and the brain will be occupied by many things in an instant. You need to be prepared to block out other trivial things, otherwise it is easy to lose the ability to move and degenerate to the nascent form to maintain your own physical strength."
"If you switch to Pegasus form, you can use the Pegasus Crossbow. I can only say that its speed is very fast. Anyway, I have never seen anyone other than Daguba being able to dodge it. And after being hit by a bullet, the Gurongi will be sealed, so it is super useful!"
"Of course, the premise is that you, Hachiman, can withstand the huge amount of information at that moment."
Data about the Pegasus form also appeared in his brain, but the overly brief instructions for use and the side effects mentioned made him sigh deeply.
"So, Rick-san, can't you give me a more detailed instruction? It's really hard for people to understand when you say it so briefly!"
Hikigaya Hachiman silently complained about the long-dead Riku and began to switch his blue form, named Azure Dragon, back to the almighty red form.
It's not that he didn't want to use the Pegasus form that Rik mentioned was super useful, but he was not sure if he could handle the huge amount of information that Rik mentioned. Fortunately, he did handle it, and the battle was resolved immediately.
If he couldn't hold on, he didn't have any hope that Zi Meibio Da would be kind enough to let him go.
As a complete loner who is proud of it, the only person he trusts is himself.
He chose the all-mighty form because he had used it in battle before. Compared to the Azure Dragon form, which he was completely unfamiliar with and only used to get by, he felt that the all-mighty form was better.
Therefore, he was already well prepared and did not give Zi Meibio Da time to react. He kicked the opponent in the face when the opponent just got up and had no chance to use his speed advantage.
A fierce force measured in tons acted on the vulnerable parts. No matter how thick-skinned Zi Meibio Da was, he could not withstand it and was immediately sent flying towards the place that Hikigaya Hachiman had calculated in advance.
That was when he was high in the air and found that there was no one there and the restaurant was quite narrow.
The reason for choosing that place as the scene was to prevent the opponent's speed and escape, and also to make sure that in case he couldn't keep up with the speed, at least he could catch Zi Meibio Da, who was much faster than him, by getting injured.
Yes, in the short time it took him to break into the mall through the window, he had already prepared a battle plan based on the surrounding environment.
As for why it is so fast?
That's because as a loner and a game enthusiast, in order to complete each game and defeat each powerful boss that gets stuck, he has developed the ability to find strategies in advance and adopt guerrilla tactics based on the geographical environment.
With this skill, he used his time to defeat powerful and ferocious bosses one after another, and completed countless game levels that required companions on his own.
At this moment, Hikigaya Hachiman was very grateful to his lonely self for mastering such a great skill, otherwise he would have been helpless in today's battle.
He pushed the ground hard with his feet and jumped in front of Zi Meibio Da. Adhering to the principle of "attack you while you are weak" when playing games, he kicked him again, and then started using both fists and feet.
Hikigaya Hachiman, who had no fighting experience, began to recall the movies and TV shows he had seen in the past, clumsily imitating appropriate moves and using them on it.
"Bang bang bang~"
The sound of fists hitting flesh rang out. Zi Meibio Da, who had temporarily lost his advantage, or whose brain was still a little dazed, had not yet recovered from the series of developments and was in a state of asking three philosophical questions.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
In the final analysis, they all advocate killing, and Zi Mei Bio Da's strength is one of the best even in the Zi Group, not to mention his speed which is much stronger than most of the Mei Group.
After suffering five heavy punches on the cheek, its face was beaten like a pig's head, and several teeth were knocked out, it finally came to its senses, and instantly seized the gap in Hikigaya Hachiman's attack and dodged at super fast speed.
Zi Meibio Da stopped two meters away from Hikigaya Hachiman, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stared at him fiercely, and roared with gritted teeth: "Kuuga~"
One of the principles believed by the Gurongi clan is to stop talking nonsense when you can take action.
After venting its dissatisfaction, it immediately began to exert its super-fast speed, letting Hachiman Hikigaya, who knew that the opponent was out of its attack range and had already anticipated the bad development of the situation, fall into a tough battle in an instant.
He felt intense pain all over his body. He could see Zi Meibio Da's figure, but his body could not keep up with the speed, so he could not respond no matter how alert he was.
"Bang~"
Hikigaya Hachiman was knocked flying and fell against the wall. The remaining force exerted on him used his body as a medium to penetrate the entire concrete wall, causing him to roll on the ground in a panic for several times before stopping.
[Damn it~ I can't keep up with its speed. I can't use Pegasus form. Rixon has noted that the pain of being injured in this form will be about ten times greater than the original form. If that happens, I will definitely lose.]
He barely supported his body with his hands and slowly stood up from the ground. His internal organs began to protest violently, and the severe pain that was fed back to his brain made Hikigaya Hachiman stagger even when he stood up. It was no wonder that he would faint to the ground in the next second and would not be able to get up again.
[Since the speed is not up to par and the new form is not very proficient, then there is only one answer! ]
He stared resolutely at Zi Meibio Da, who did not continue to attack, as if he was playing around or wanted to torture him slowly. His brain came up with a strategy to deal with it.
All attention was focused on Gurongi in front of him. Everything else was thrown behind him. This was the only existence left in his eyes and heart.
Feeling unprecedented concentration, the Yam Duam spirit stone on his waist began to emit a little green color. It was obvious that Hikigaya Hachiman's concentration had now reached the requirement to transform into Pegasus form.
However, he did not choose to activate the form of the super ancient warrior Riku said, which could kill the opponent with one arrow, but chose to stagnate his concentration at this critical point.
[You must not transform into Pegasus form, otherwise it will be the end! ]
His will is sensed by the Yam Damu Spirit Stone on his waist. Apart from turning the host into a thoroughgoing combat weapon regardless of his will, it is also a good partner that respects the host's wishes and protects his safety.
Therefore, after learning of Hikigaya Hachiman's wishes, it did not release the power of Tenma, but even began to slowly increase its almighty power so that Hikigaya Hachiman could better cope with the next battle.
[I see!]
The originally blurry figure of Zi Meibio Da in the field of vision became much clearer with the addition of a little vision, and the reaction speed of the body was also slightly enhanced, allowing Hikigaya Hachiman to barely keep up with the opponent's speed.
"Got you!"
He tightly grasped the right hand of Zi Meibio Da, which had pierced through the flesh and stuck on the solid shoulder bone, and said fiercely: "You have beaten me for so long, it's time to pay you back."
The right knee was suddenly raised, and a powerful force slammed into Zi Meibio Da's abdomen. A thunderous sound was emitted from the contact surface, and the surging power spread in all directions, raising a cloud of dust and blowing away the stones that were shattered by the aftermath of the previous battle between the two.
Thus, the balance of the battle began to shift once again.
At the same time, Sakami put down the telescope in his hand and said to his colleagues with serious faces behind him: "I think you have enough understanding of their combat power now. We can't intervene in this battle at all. All we can do is evacuate the people around us."
"But, Gami-san, are we not going to do anything? What if those monsters attack the citizens?"
Facing his colleague's question, Sakami smiled calmly, "The two of them are evenly matched, and it seems that they are obviously in a hostile state. Why can't we wait for them to fight to the point where both are injured, and then deal with the injured party?"
"As for the safety of the citizens, haven't I already arranged for people to evacuate them?"
"But..."
"Okay, just do as I say. This is the best way now. Otherwise, you will end up like the dozen or so police officers who died in the line of duty."
Sakami calmly looked at his colleague who wanted to say something. It was just a normal eye contact, but it made the other person feel like he dared not disobey.
"Remember what our first priority is. Protecting the citizens, and then destroying those unconfirmed life forms. We can't guarantee that once we intervene, they will choose to deal with us first and give up their hostility."Sakami reached out and patted his colleague who looked unwilling, "We can't afford the gamble, do you understand?"
Hearing this, the colleague took a deep breath and said in a somewhat decadent tone: "I understand, Sakaki-san."
Seeing that the other party really had no intention of taking action, and the people behind him were the same, Sakaki Gami breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the telescope in his hand, and watched Hikigaya Hachiman in the battle.
[Hikigaya-kun, I've helped you keep an eye on the police, but it's up to you to handle Gurongi's case.]
[Remember to leave immediately after dealing with Gurongi. Don't hesitate. Otherwise, the snipers around you...]
Sakaki Gami turned the telescope towards the direction of several sniper rifles. Even though he had told Hikigaya Hachiman the direction in advance, he was still worried that the other party would not be able to dodge in time.
Even if he delays the time, it's still worth worrying about.
[Sure enough, we humans are still too weak! ]
This sigh, which has often appeared recently, once again emerged in my mind.
Chapter 13: Inner Awakening, a Growing Warrior
Fighting has always been a man's romance.
He fights desperately to protect people from harm in a way that is completely different from real life. No matter how hard or tiring it is, when he sees people's relieved smiles after they are rescued, that is the romance of Hikigaya Hachiman.
He doesn't need others to know who he is or what he has paid to save them. He advocates the kind of lonesome greatness of being alone, silently protecting the general public and fighting against evil forces.
When he was in the middle school syndrome, he once fantasized about this kind of life, and was succumbed to the incomparable pleasure derived from his powerful imagination during that period.
Of course, when he graduated, he realized that it was nothing more than self-deception, so in order to avoid an explosion of shame, he chose to keep this part of history secret.
I thought I would never remember this past event in my life, but not long ago, I was almost tricked by Yukinoshita Yukino into revealing my dark history, and now I am actually carrying out my past fantasy.
But at this moment, when he was in that imaginary pleasure, Hikigaya Hachiman deeply understood one thing.
[Oh my god! Next time some idiot tells me that heroes who silently protect humanity are the coolest, I will definitely punch him to death].
[absolute!!!]
Hikigaya Hachiman tightly grasped onto Shimebiota's right hand, and continued to attack it with his other hand and legs. At the same time, he also endured the fierce attacks from the other party, enduring the pain of his flesh and blood being torn, and silently swore in his heart.
As for why there is such a great resentment?
It's because the real feedback in the brain at this moment, the thing called the medal of manliness is really too painful.
It was already several times more painful than what Hikigaya Hachiman had imagined. Since it had surpassed the pain he had imagined and was unbearable, it was only natural that he hated it.
Now he really wanted someone to help him, at least to create a situation that would make Zi Meibio Da stunned for a while, longer than when he hit the other person's head before. With just that little moment, he would have time to gather the sealed energy in his body to his right foot and let it know how to write the word death.
It's just a pity that he, who advocates loneliness and has always followed this path, is destined to not have such a close partner who can create opportunities for him to win.
At this moment, he began to doubt whether the lonely path he was taking was correct.
"Nishinai~Kuuga!"
Perhaps it was a battle of exchanging injuries for injuries, but for Zi Meibio Da, who had always relied on speed to win, it was too frustrating. His injuries were getting worse and worse, and had even begun to affect the subsequent games.
A surge of anger arose spontaneously, and it began to give up endlessly exchanging injuries, and instead focused its main energy on how to break free from Hikigaya Hachiman's restraints.
[Should I let someone else face this monster?]
[Others have wonderful lives, they all have people who love them and are with the people they love.]
[And what do I have?]
In the confusion, my strength weakened a lot.
[I...have nothing.]
It was hard to tell whether it was resentment or despair that arose in Hikigaya Hachiman's heart.
The strength also recovered at this moment, and was even stronger than before, so much so that Zi Meibio Da felt as if his wrist was almost broken.
[Since no one cares about me, Komachi will only lose a useless brother if she loses me, and the only person who will be sad is Komachi, and even that will only last for a short time.]
[Then why should we let others face a monster like Gurongi who lives only for killing?]
As his thoughts became clearer, the Yam Damu Spirit Stone on his waist began to respond to his wishes, and the speed of strengthening his body gradually increased.
His punches and kicks are faster and harder!
[And, as long as I become stronger, nothing will happen, Komachi won't cry, and no one will lose their loved ones.]
Zi Meibio Da found that he was gradually unable to keep up with Hikigaya Hachiman's speed, and the opponent's attacks were even becoming more and more powerful.
Now, it is no longer a question of whether or not one can break free.
But the question is whether it will die today!
[So, as long as I become stronger, that's all!]
[As long as this is done, a world where no one gets hurt will be created!]
[It's simple, isn't it?]
Hikigaya Hachiman turned his head to avoid the oncoming claws, and hit Zi Meibio Da's nose hard with his left fist. Seeing that the opponent was falling backwards, he pulled him back with his right hand, and at the same time raised his right knee to press against his abdomen. The powerful force was thrown through his abdomen to his internal organs. A sharp pain instantly surged to his brain, causing his brain to go into a brief blank period.
Hikigaya Hachiman noticed the opponent's stiff state and immediately released his right hand that had been pinching his wrist, and smashed down hard on the suspected temple with both hands.
"Buzz buzz buzz~"
Fierce power exploded in his brain instantly. Although it did not kill Zi Meibio Da completely, it made his brain buzz and he lost the ability to think. The legs that supported his body also lost strength, and he fell to his knees and fell to the side.
It seems that no matter what kind of creature it is, the brain is always one of the fatal flaws that cannot be avoided.
"Now!"
Hikigaya Hachiman seized the opportunity to mobilize the sealed energy in his body and transmitted it to the sealed seal on the sole of his foot through the control ring on his ankle.
Feeling the burning heat coming from the soles of his feet and the sealing energy that was about to overflow in the control ring, he knew that it was enough to kill Zi Meibio Da.
So, Hikigaya Hachiman quickly rushed forward, risking the opponent's awakening, and grabbed the defenseless Zi Meibio Da with one hand, and brought it out of the already unrecognizable small restaurant. The moment he reached the street outside, he immediately turned his body to use the force to throw it into the air, and then he jumped high with his legs gathering strength and kicked it in the chest against the law of gravity.
Naturally, the Linduo characters also appeared on its chest, covered in flames. The Kiruru belt around its waist began to break, and the energy in its body began to run wild. Intricate orange-yellow lines like spider webs spread from the belt to its entire body.
"Bang~"
The force applied to Zi Meibio Da was further increased, causing its body to fly into the sky at a faster speed than before, like a rocket that had gained propulsion.
"Damn Kuuga!!!"
With Zi Meibio Da's final roar, it turned into a dazzling firework in the sky.
The sparks from the explosion took away people's vision. Because it was at high altitude, the aftermath of the explosion only shattered the surrounding glass. In addition, the surrounding people had already been evacuated, so there were no casualties.
However, when the police officer who had not launched the attack order due to Sakaki Gami's obstruction, saw Zi Meibio Da being killed by Hikigaya Hachiman, and was shocked by its heroic death, he wanted to remind Sakaki Gami to launch the attack, but found that the other party actually gave a gesture to retreat.
"Gamisan, for..."
Before he could even utter the question, a telescope was stuffed into his hand. His IQ was not negative, but quite high. He immediately understood what Sakaki Gami's intention was.
He did not use the telescope in his hand, but just let out a roar of unwillingness, wanting to smash the telescope in his hand to vent his frustration, but he still restrained his emotions and gave the retreat order on behalf of Sakaki Gami who had gone ahead.
"Everyone, retreat..."
He paused and said, "Organize some personnel to verify the identity of the police officer who died in the line of duty, and have someone convey the news to the family members."
After saying this, the police officer seemed to have aged a lot, and his back, which had always been straight, became much more hunched.
[Are we humans really powerless?]
He stared blankly at the destruction caused by Hikigaya Hachiman, then turned away in a dejected manner.
"Rin-sang, your work ID card fell off!"
A police officer picked up the work ID of the departing officer and looked at the decadent figure who seemed to have heard nothing. It was completely different from the warm smile like spring breeze in the photo, "Ren-san..."
"Don't worry, that man is not someone who can be defeated so easily. He is the never-give-up Sato Jin!"
"Don't forget that he just saved his life from No. 3. It's not that easy for him to [die]."
"Yeah, I forgot that Sakaki-san is a person favored by God."
Thinking of the deeds of that figure, the police officer looked at Sato Jin with longing, "Then, Jin-san is the one who dares to challenge the God of Destiny, and is able to defeat Him!"
————
"Huhaha~"
Hikigaya Hachiman slumped in the dark alley, "Looks like I'll have to go back late today. I also need to think of an excuse to deal with Komachi."
His brain began to feel intensely dizzy, but the pain that he had forgotten during the battle still faithfully told him, and he experienced the pain that was like being bitten by thousands of ants.
However, God was still kind to him. At least the mechanism of his brain caused Hikigaya Hachiman to fall into a coma, and the Yam Damu spirit stone hidden in his body began to repair his physical injuries, so that he would not wake up and face such tragic pain again.
Chapter 14: The Jaguar Angel appears, Yuigahama Yui is desperate
It was a starry night. Yuigahama Yui and Miura Yumiko walked slowly on the well-lit street. They remained silent to each other, without the usual joking between friends.
Soon, in silence, they reached the fork in the road where they usually parted ways, went back to their respective homes, and looked for their respective mothers.
Yuigahama Yui frowned, as if relieved, raised her hand and whispered to her friend: "Then Yumiko, I'll leave first, see you at school tomorrow."
Miura Yumiko glanced at the plastic bag with a red cross on it and the medicine in her hand, then looked up at her unnatural expression and took a deep breath, "See you tomorrow, Yui, you must be tired too."
After saying that, he turned around and waved his hand, "See you at school tomorrow."
Yuigahama Yui stretched out her hand as if to retain him, her mouth slightly opened as if she wanted to say something, but fragments of memories that she didn't want to face emerged in her mind, her face turned gloomy, and she smiled sadly.
She turned around slowly, looking very tired as she walked towards home. Her eyes were slightly red, filled with crystal tears, which seemed like they would break free from the shackles of her reason and burst out in the next second.
[What am I expecting? Hasn't this happened before?]
[I am really an idiot!]
"Hey~ Yui…"
Suddenly, a friend's voice came from behind her, and the familiar scene made Yuigahama Yui tremble slightly.
She was afraid that she would experience another painful scene.
"If you have any difficulties, you can always come to me. Although I may not be as capable as you, I will still help you within my ability."
Unexpectedly, the reality that once existed in her imagination was now happening right beside her, and she felt her thoughts stopped.
"We are friends, and friends should help each other, right?"
"Hmm~"
Yuigahama Yui's brain finally sorted out the meaning that she could understand based on the words said by Miura Yumiko and presented it to her.
Because she understood the meaning of the words, the girl stretched out her right hand to cover her mouth, letting the cold tears flow from her eyes to prevent her crying from being heard by her friends.
"Well, remember to come to me if you have any trouble, Yui!"
After saying this with a slightly blushing face, Yumiko Miura pretended that she did not hear the slight sobbing coming from her friend behind her. She whispered "Goodbye" in a low voice with some embarrassment, and then fled away from the fork in the road.
Obviously, it was embarrassing for her, who had always been straightforward, to say such things.
The footsteps by her ears gradually faded away. Yuigahama Yui stood up only when she could no longer hear them. She wiped away the tears that she couldn't suppress while squatting. "Hehehe~ At least I didn't cry in front of Yumiko, otherwise it would have been too embarrassing."
He patted his cheeks with both hands, regaining his usual energetic look, "Yoshi~ It's time for me to go home too."
The girl hummed a cheerful tune and skipped towards home. She felt that the surroundings now looked much more pleasing to the eye than the usual dark streets.
The familiar scenery began to pass by from behind the field of vision, and the most familiar home had already jumped into her sight. She only needed to jump for another two or three minutes, and Yuigahama Yui would be back to her warm home, play with her cute pet dog - Sabrel as usual, take a hot bath to relieve fatigue, chat with her mother, and then go back to her room to have a good sleep and greet a beautiful tomorrow.
However, today might be a disaster day for the girl. The figure that appeared in front of her froze the smile on her face. Her body began to tremble slightly, and her brain began to buzz, so that her vision dominated by fear turned into snowflakes, just like a TV with poor signal contact.
But even so, she could still clearly see the monster life form that was walking out slowly from the shadows, with a bright red scarf around its neck and making strange gestures with its hands. Although its appearance was much more beautiful than Zi Meibio Da in the commercial center, it was a jaguar-like monster life form.
In other words, the girl named Yuigahama Yui was attacked by a monster again.
Moreover, for some reason, this time, her fear of the monster in front of her was even greater than that of Zi Meibio Da not long ago.
In the former case, she could still muster up the courage to resist.
The latter, however, made her feel terrified from the bottom of her soul, and she was unable to mount an effective resistance.
I don't even know why, but I actually had this absurd thought that I deserved to be killed by the other party.
The orange-yellow jaguar-shaped monster slowly walked forward, and Yuigahama Yui clearly caught the emotion of disgust from its tiny pupils.
And the pleasure that can be obtained from killing oneself.
Fear occupied the girl's brain to the point that she could not even run away. She could only succumb to the tide of fear that continued to wash over her brain. Her legs lost their support and she collapsed to the ground, trembling weakly.
