Where can I find me?
There must be one, no matter where it is.
Running and panting.
Finally, he tripped and fell into the blue ocean.
"Even if I disappear like this..."
"Hey, it's dangerous for you to just lie there in the bushes like this."
Harano Shiki struggled to sit up, staring blankly at the woman in front of him with one hand on her waist. The pure white shirt and azure blue jeans not only showed her figure, but also seemed to reveal a casual and free-spirited personality. Of course, the most eye-catching thing was her long red hair that was like a waterfall and was very surprising.
"ah..."
"I told you this is dangerous. I almost kicked you...away..."
The woman's face seemed to show shock and confusion for a moment, but then she smiled again.
"Meeting here is also a kind of fate, let's chat, shall we? My name is Aozaki Aoko, what's yours?"
"Shiki, Tohno Shiki."
Toono Shiki brushed the dust off his knees and sat down under a big tree with Aozaki Aoko.
Under the shade of the tree, Tono Shiki and Aozaki Aoko talked for a long time, talking about Shiki's family, father, sister, and his past time with friends, as if to completely dispel the loneliness he had been feeling during this period.
Aozaki Aoko also shared a lot of her experiences during her travels, and the two of them had a great conversation like close friends.
"Shiki, what is this?"
Seeing Aozaki Aoko staring curiously at the bat stone toy in her hand, Toono Shiki was a little puzzled, so he held her hands in front of Aoko so that she could observe it carefully.
"This? I don't know, it seems like a toy, but I always feel that he is very important to me...?"
Aozaki Aoko suddenly frowned, closed her lips, and stared at him, seeming to be embarrassed and a little sulky, but then she smiled again.
"Well, he looks cute. Maybe he will be of great help to you in the future. You must treat him well."
What's the use of toys? Although this toy is quite exquisite, can any exquisite toy have any super powers?
Shiki muttered to himself as he studied the bat toy in his hands.
Soon, the shade of the big tree was stretched by time, and the blue ocean turned into a red and yellow ocean under the baptism of the setting sun.
"Well, it's getting late, Shiki. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Remember to listen to your doctor.
"Well, bye."
I stood up reluctantly, still feeling that it all seemed like a dream. I didn't know how long it had been since I had a chat like this. I stood there, watching the red figure shining brighter in the setting sun until it disappeared into the horizon.
Well, I think we will meet again tomorrow.
..............................
What surprised me was that in the following days, the red figure would appear under the big tree on time. Talking to her became a habit of mine. She didn't seem to like me calling her "Aoko" or "Teacher Aoko", so I just called her teacher.
Once, somehow, I wanted to show off my abilities to my teacher.
"Hey, teacher, let me tell you something. I can do this."
As I said that, I confidently took out the fruit knife, walked towards the big tree next to me, raised my hand, and planned to cut those "lines".
!
"Stop it, Shiki!"
As if she had thought of something, Aoko rushed forward quickly, grabbed Shiki's wrist, and immediately followed with a crisp slap.
"teacher…?"
As tears flowed, I remembered that this tree was the last witness of the forest turning into grassland. My momentary vanity almost destroyed this tree and a piece of history. As expected, I am really stupid and hopeless.
"I'm sorry...teacher?"
When I came back to my senses and felt the gentle feeling, I found myself being embraced in his arms.
"Shiki, you almost made an irreparable mistake just now, so I had to stop you and make you realize the consequences of what you just did. If no one tells you, you will definitely cause disaster in the future."
"I wanted to treat you like a human being, and I was very angry about it, so I stopped you and even hit you. I hope you can remember all of this. Even if you hate me for it, that's fine."
It was as if a flame was ignited. I stared blankly at the teacher's embrace and wiped away my tears.
"No...I won't hate the teacher."
I told her what I saw with my own eyes, those "line"-like things.
"Well, those things do exist. They are not illusions. They are your reality, and other people cannot see them."
"So, I am an outlier after all...?
"I can't lie to you about this, Shiki. You are indeed an outlier, but it can be explained. We humans are like this. As long as we understand the reasons, we can solve any problem. No matter how ridiculous it is, we can handle it with human courage and wisdom."
"Because your eyes can see the end of things - or the future."
"The future? I don't quite understand..."
"It's okay if you don't understand. Just remember not to draw those lines anymore, because, Shiki, your eyes are too indifferent to life."
"I understand, teacher. I won't do that again."
"Well, never forget how you feel right now. In the future, you will definitely be able to find your own happiness!"
The long embrace loosened, and the cold, yet warm feeling disappeared.
"But teacher, it's so uncomfortable. Whenever I see the line, I always feel that the things around me will collapse at any time..."
"Well, it seems that this is the reason for coming here. I will solve this matter. I will give you a special gift tomorrow! You will definitely return to your previous life!"
Her confident smile was as warm as the sun. All negative emotions seemed to disappear and the future was full of hope.
..............................
"Here, try these glasses on. Don't worry, they don't have prescription."
Slowly putting on the glasses, all the distorted and disgusting "lines" disappeared from my sight. My vision became so clear, and everything was so beautiful and full of vitality!
"Amazing! So amazing! They really are gone! You are so amazing, teacher!"
"Hehehe, this is what I made using the Mystic Eye Killer that I stole from my sister. It's Aozaki Aoko's life's work, so don't break it~"
"I will cherish it, but it's amazing! It's like magic, all the 'lines' have been erased!"
"Of course, I'm a magician!"
"But the lines don't disappear. Once you take off your glasses, they will reappear. These eyes cannot be cured, so Shiki, you have to learn to live with these eyes strong."
"No... I don't want it. I don't want such scary eyes."
"But these eyes are your power, Shiki."
"My...power?"
"Yes, this is your power. It is your freedom to use it as you wish. It is none of other people's business. Only you can decide what you do with this power, Shiki."
I felt a soft and cold touch on my head, and the pair of blue eyes stared straight at me, as if full of expectation, tenderness, and confidence.
"Well, you have a really good pair of eyes. I thought you were troublesome when I first met you, or I would have kicked you away. But it's okay now, go take back your past and write your own future. I believe in you, you have an upright heart, as long as you are still yourself, these eyes will not lead to the wrong ending!"
"ah..."
I felt my chest trembling and warmth flowing through my body. I will probably never forget this feeling.
"Although you should never take off these glasses unless it is absolutely necessary, special powers will bring special disasters, but when there are difficulties that cannot be solved, then use the power of your own eyes with confidence. Power is neither good nor evil, and the good or bad of the path you choose is up to you."
The teacher picked up the suitcase, and I knew that the moment of parting had inevitably arrived, and I felt extremely anxious and complicated.
"No... No... Teacher! It was you who helped me get out of the shadows, it was you who helped me find myself again! I can't do anything with just these two eyes!"
Qingzi seemed a little unhappy and flicked my forehead lightly with her finger.
"Shiki, don't tell lies that are against your will and can't even convince yourself. It will only make people unhappy. Don't throw away the self you have finally found!"
"Besides, you're not the only one here," Aoko glanced at the bat toy in my hand and smiled faintly, "Then let's say goodbye. Life always has ups and downs. I believe you will handle it, so you must cheer up. Bye, Shiki~"
"Well...goodbye...teacher..."
The breeze gently blew the surrounding grass, stirring up green waves. The long red silk danced vigorously in the wind until the figure completely disappeared on the horizon.
It was the fourth day after Aoko left, and it wasn't long before Tohno Shiki would be discharged from the hospital. Ever since putting on the glasses given by Aoko, Tohno Shiki seems to have become a lot more energetic. The blue sky outside the window and the city in the distance seem to be waving their hands, waiting for Shiki's return.
"Hmm? Shiki-kun, you're admiring the scenery again~"
The one who was leaning on the door sill and looking inside with curious head was Aoi who had just been transferred into the next ward. The long black hair hung down behind her head, the hair in front of her forehead was tied with a dark blue headband, and two strands of hair hung down beside her cheeks, covering her ears. Of course, the most impressive thing is the paintbrush in his hand all the time and the drawing board on his back.
The day after Qingzi left, she was transferred to the next ward. While wandering around curiously, he accidentally ran into Shiki Toono who was standing by the window staring at the sky in a daze. It was at that time that Aoi became friends with the boy by inviting him to draw with her.
"Ah, yes, Xiao Kui, let's go to that big tree and paint today, as a way of apology for what I did before."
"Eh? That's a good idea indeed. I didn't notice it before, but what's an apology? Did you do something bad?"
"Well, I almost did something bad... Fortunately, the teacher saved me... Let's talk while we walk!"
Shiki and Aoi slowly strolled along the familiar grass,
He talked about his previous life, how he was seriously injured and came here, his encounter with teacher Aoko, and her redemption of himself.
Soon, the two came under the big tree, and the huge canopy protected them from the harsh midday sun.
"I haven't made up my mind yet, but now I want to ask what disease Xiao Kui has that brought her here?"
It seemed like an expected question, and the delicate face like a doll still maintained a smile.
"Hmm... I heard it was a type of cancer, but my parents didn't tell me what it was specifically. Even if it was cancer, I only heard it from someone I overheard the other night."
"Ah… sorry."
"Yeah, it's okay. This isn't Shiki-kun's problem."
............
The silence between them was suffocating. The problem was solved, but what was this feeling?
This is a kind of heartache and regret. It is a flower that is about to bloom, just like myself, but it withers so early.
Shiki tilted his head and looked at the girl quietly.
Yes, very similar.
She was concentrating on waving the paintbrush on the drawing board. Her serious look and appearance reminded Shiki of his sister, Tono Akiha, whom he had not seen for a long time. He wondered how she was doing now?
She tried hard to leave evidence of the existence of this world, but did this world ever leave any evidence of her existence?
The girl turned her head, still smiling, and looked into Toono Shiki's eyes with her light blue eyes as clear as the sky.
"Shiki-kun, what is your dream~"
"Dream? I'm not sure yet. I just found my meaning again... Maybe I'll find it one day after I leave here. What about Aoi? What's your dream?"
"Well... as for me, I don't think I'll ever be able to realize my biggest dream. But I still want to work hard on a small dream."
"In this last week, I hope to paint a picture that will satisfy me the most."
Why? How could she say such sad words in such a calm tone? What should I do! If the teacher were here, she would definitely know how to comfort Xiaokui!
"Is that so?! Then I will definitely help you realize this little dream!"
"We are friends after all."
?
It seemed to be a deep thought in his heart, but why did he blurt it out like that?
"Yes... a friend."
"I don't have a dream right now, but it wouldn't be bad if I could regard the little dream of protecting Aoi as my current dream."
"Hehe~ You've really helped me a lot! I'll have to trouble you a lot, Shiki-kun~ As a reward, I'll give you all the candies I've treasured for many years~. I can't finish them all anyway, what a pity..."
"Candies are better when eaten together! I will definitely help you finish your painting! As for the candies, let's eat them together after we finish painting!"
The girl blinked her lively eyes, tilted her head, squinted her eyes, looked at Toono Shiki with a smile, then stretched out her hands towards the sky, as if trying to catch the sun.
"Well, that would be great."
if,
Sunset,
Can you come later?
That's it...
.....................
"Oh, no, I forgot to return the paintbrush to Aoi!"
Shiki was just about to undress and go to sleep when he noticed the few paintbrushes on the bedside table. After thinking for a moment, he walked out. Aoi's room was next door, so it would be better to return it to her as soon as possible.
Shiki opened the door and poked his head out to look around. It was already late at night.
The corridor has long been soaked in darkness. When footsteps sound, the pale and weak light will try to penetrate the darkness.
However, the light that should have been a ray of hope was now so mechanical and cold, far deeper, suffocating and dangerous than the darkness.
"hiss..."
Shiki shuddered before he mustered up the courage to walk out.
However, when the light in the farthest place came on, what emerged from the darkness was a colorful and beautiful figure like a church window.
"What is that?"
After seeing it clearly, I found that the gorgeous body was so bloated that it was no longer in human shape. The disproportionate, huge body had a sharp head on top. In contrast, the slender hands were holding a bloody piece of meat that no one knew what kind of creature it was, and they were eating it with relish...
quick...
Must hurry!
The brain seemed to be under heavy pressure, trembling, and about to be torn apart, no, crushed.
It's like something has awakened.
The scene before my eyes turned blood red, then blurry.
Want, want...
cut
Chop all
? ? ? !
The sight in front of me, the tormenting pain in my brain, and the feeling in my stomach that had already been churning, made me finally unable to hold back and vomit. I kept vomiting until all the breakfast and the stomach acid in my stomach were poured out, until there was nothing left, and I was retching.
"Haaa…haaa…haaa…"
I straightened up and looked back to the place where I was before. A pair of scarlet eyes happened to look at me.
"ah…"
The automatic sensor light dimmed, and along with that gorgeous body and those scarlet eyes sank into the darkness.
run...
Run!
I suppressed the impulse in my brain that urged me to move forward, lowered my head, turned around and ran towards the ward that belonged to me.
The heart is wailing, the vision is distorted by tears, the throat is burned, the lungs are shriveled, even if the body falls apart at any moment, the steps will not stop.
As long as I can get there, as long as I can get there!
After rushing into the ward, Shiki slammed the door against the door frame with a "bang", locked the door, leaned against the door, collapsed on the ground, and gasped for breath.
That, what on earth is that!
Unknown, incomprehensible, beyond comprehension
Faced with the unknown, fear had already overflowed from Toono Shiki's heart.
It's a dream! It must be a dream! Otherwise it must be an illusion!
How could such a thing happen? !
How is it possible that this would happen in a hospital?
Do you want to wake up Xiaokui?
But this is just my illusion, Xiaokui must have fallen asleep!
I don't know how long I spent in the dark room.
A series of knocks on the door startled the nervous Tono Shiki so much that he stood up immediately. His heart was about to jump out of his throat.
"Tohno Shiki? Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"
ah...
It turned out to be the nurse...
"No, it's alright! Um...nurse...is there anything strange?"
"Strange thing? What do you mean? The sound of banging on the door just now scared me, so I came here to check on the situation. Are you really okay, Shiki?"
"It's really nothing! I just couldn't sleep and got a little irritable."
"I'm glad you're okay. Remember to ring the bell if you're not feeling well. Go to bed early so you can grow taller quickly. Good night, Shiki."
Ha... As expected, everything was an illusion. There was a strange monster killing people in the hospital. This kind of thing is unlikely to happen!
This kind of plot only happens in movies or cartoons at most! Is it true that I haven't recovered yet?
After calming down, I sat back on the bed, but I couldn't fall asleep.
Looking at the pen and painting that I had just failed to return, I decided to return to Xiaokui's room through the crack in the door first.
Toono Shiki opened the door for the second time, but this time, the door was only pushed open halfway because the remaining half was blocked by the person on the ground.
That…person…?
Tono Shiki slowly lowered his head and looked at the body that had turned from a white magnolia to a withered rose.
The surrounding white walls are also permeated with bright red.
Then there was the smell of rust, which went straight through my nose and into my brain.
"Nurse...Auntie...?"
etc!
The next ward!
I rushed to the next ward, but the door was gone.
She was sleeping peacefully with her hair loose and expressionless, held in its arms.
His limbs hung down as if their strings were broken, and his hospital gown was torn into rags.
Its sharp teeth pierced into the snow-white skin like piercing paper.
This is the first time in my life that I have witnessed the withering of a flower, and it was a bud that was about to bloom...
Her body slowly became transparent, and at that moment I knew that I would never see her touching smile again.
That was the smile I destroyed with my own hands.Why, why… do this!?"
Hearing the roar, the gorgeous figure finally turned around and actually made a human voice.
"Why? Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! You ask me why?"
"Because I was seen, you saw me, so I came to find you~"
"But I don't know which room you are in, so I plan to randomly pick a few rooms and open them, then kill them until I find you~"
"To me, you humans are just like livestock, except that most of the humans I eat are livestock that are dying soon. What do you think? I still have compassion, right? Hahahahaha!"
"But it's boring. Since you came to me on your own, I'll grant your wish!"
It put down Aoi in its hand and rushed towards Tohno Shiki.
die
Will die
If you were hit by its pair of scissor-like claws, it wouldn't be surprising if your body was cut in two.
But at this time, Toono Shiki had been fixed in place. His brain had suddenly received an overwhelming amount of information, and all kinds of emotions had exceeded its limits, causing a crash.
Facing this monster in front of him, he was as small as an ant facing humans. Defeating such a guy might be impossible even by a miracle.
Don't want to die
Don't want to die yet
I just found myself again.
Made my first friend after waking up.
How could it end like this!
"When a problem that you really can't solve arises, then use the power of your own eyes with confidence. Power is neither good nor evil, and the good or bad of the path you choose is up to you!"
Aoko…teacher…?
The body trembled as if an electric current passed through the brain.
Unconsciously lowering his center of gravity, he bent his right leg and kicked it backwards. With the advantage of his short stature, he quickly lunged forward to the right. Then he rolled over to avoid the swift claw attack and rolled to the bedside table where Aoi kept her painting tools. He quickly took out a blade for sharpening pencils and took off his glasses.
The pupils quickly converged and focused on one point, a dark blue color occupied the pupils, and they seemed to emit a faint blue light.
The "line" once again covered the entire world, including on the monster's legs, body, arms, and head!
The missed claw strike shaved off a large piece of the concrete wall as easily as cutting tofu. The anger in its scarlet eyes could no longer be contained.
"Asshole! How dare you, a mere human child, tease me? Come here and let me kill you. I will end your suffering quickly, or you will be in excruciating pain soon!!!"
"Tsk, only a fool would let you kill him!"
Although I don't know how I did it, I can only grit my teeth and believe that I did it!
The two men took a step forward at the same time, and the monster quickly swung a claw forward with its right hand, and it attacked Shiki like a knife cutting through the air. Shiki leaned back, dodged the attack, and then steadied his center of gravity. He held the blade and quickly slashed at the "line" at his wrist. The seemingly hard and gorgeous armor seemed as fragile as paper and was easily cut open, but the blade also shattered like glass.
not good!
The claw of his left hand hammered towards his feet. If he lost his balance and fell down, he would be dead! He jumped up with all his strength, and the missed attack smashed through the floor of this level. Shiki bent his knees in the air, supported himself on the ground, rolled over to relieve the force, and rushed towards the big hole in the wall that the monster had smashed before. Then he turned sideways and jumped up with all his strength, successfully crossed the big hole in the middle of the wall with a graceful curve, and fell into his own room.
That fruit knife!
As long as you get it, you still have...
!
The sound of wind breaking through the air!
As if I felt the threat of death
He jumped up and spun sideways on his own to successfully avoid the fatal blow, but the huge blade rubbed Shiki's shoulder.
Even though it didn't hit him directly, such a strong blow still caused irreparable damage to the child's body. With a slight grunt, Shiki flew backwards as if a thread had been broken, and after hitting the wall, he lay on the ground with his mouth open and eyes closed.
Despite the adrenaline, he didn't feel any extreme pain except for a feeling of weakness, as if his soul was about to fly out of his body. However, the fact was that a piece of flesh was cut off from Shiki's shoulder. If it was any deeper, his shoulder blade would have been exposed.
The blood sprayed onto the white wall, leaving bright red bloodstains.
It sprayed on the painting that was not given to Aoi, dotting it with red dots.
It sprayed on the bedside table, on the stone bat toy...
"Thanks to you, kid! I don't know how you did it, but my wrist can't recover! And it seems that its function is also hindered, and I can't exert force well." The monster put away its claws, grabbed Shiki's head with its right hand, lifted it up wantonly, and pressed Shiki against the wall. Even though Shiki struggled desperately and tried to pry the monster apart with both hands, it was useless: "But this is the end! Kid! I admire you very much, goodbye!"
The monster's hands gradually gained strength, and Toono Shiki felt that his head was about to explode like a watermelon.
Teacher Aoko... I'm sorry, I still can't do anything. My future has come to an end. Happiness will never exist...
If you were here, maybe so many people wouldn't have died in vain...
Qiuye...it's a pity that I didn't see you at the end...
Xiao Kui... It was all my fault. I was the one who escaped from reality and killed you...
It was as if I saw… those children playing in the lawn and forest in the sunshine.
But why is the girl crying? Why is that boy covered in blood?
Two sparks exploded behind the monster, and with a scream, the monster staggered back, and Toono Shiki fell to the ground again.
what happened? Why am I not dead?
The blood stained the black hair and slowly flowed from the forehead. When the vision became clear and refocused, there seemed to be... a bat in the sky? !
A pair of small wings were flapping constantly, and on the forehead was a triangular pure white transparent gem that was glowing faintly. The oval body had white and blue patterns and a silver frame, and two large light yellow circular eyes were looking at itself.
The boy slumped on the ground, looking up at the bat hovering in the air.
The moonlight shines through the glass and falls in the middle, as if covered with a layer of veil, allowing the two to observe each other better.
"Are you...my master?"
"ah…?"
Toono Shiki, who had not yet recovered from his shock, was still staring blankly at the little bat.
"Come on, have you forgotten that you almost died just now?! Run away now before that guy wakes up!"
As the bat spoke, it fanned Shiki's face with its wings to wake him up quickly. Before the monster in the distance could recover, it hurriedly ran out with Tono Shiki.
In an empty storage room, Toono Shiki, who was almost exhausted, slumped on the ground, breathing greedily with big gulps. At this time, the pain in his shoulder flooded into his brain like a tide.
"What the hell is going on here!?"
"Another toy bat resurrected! Another monster that kills people everywhere, even Aoi..."
As I spoke of this, tears filled my eyes for the umpteenth time.
"Hey, hey, hey! I'm not a toy! My name is Kivat! I belong to the Kivat clan! Since you're a master, you should remember it well! Although my memory of the past is very vague, like a plate of mud, I can't remember anything, but that monster should be a fangire (vampire), a race that absorbs human life energy for food, but it always seems that something is not right..."
The bat's voice was very ethereal, and judging from the voice, it seemed to be about the same age as himself. However, these words made Tohno Shiki, who was already covered in blood, even more confused.
"I'm sorry, I don't quite understand... What do you mean - my name is Tohno Shiki, so kivat, we -"
A roar and several explosions spread throughout the entire floor, and it sounded like the location was getting closer and closer to the storage room.
"What should we do! Kivat! How on earth are we going to defeat that monster? Even though the teacher said that I have these eyes that can do many things that ordinary people can't do, I can't defeat it at all!"
"..."
Kivat stared quietly at the young man in danger with its pale yellow eyes.
"Do you have the courage to walk with the devil?"
"ha…?"
The sounds of explosions and roars disappeared, and as if something had been detected, footsteps were approaching here quickly.
"As my master, Shiki, I want to tell you the consequences of using my power. As a human, even if you have special conditions, if you continue to use inhuman powers and go further and further down the inhuman path, one day you will not be able to see your starting point as a human. Even so, do you still want to fight?"
One step, two steps, it seemed like it was only ten steps away.
"I'm sorry, Kivat, you're just like Aoko-sensei, always saying things that I don't understand, but if I want to defeat that guy, I have to rely on your strength, right?! I... don't want to let innocent people like Aoi die in vain at the hands of that guy!"
The footsteps arrived at the warehouse door.
"Yes, I understand. Shiki, please extend your hand. Don't pull it back~"
"Eh, is that so?"
"Yes, I bite!"
!
Kivat suddenly bit Toono Shiki's arm with its sharp fangs. Colorful lines spread along Shiki's arm to his cheek. Several circles of silver chains appeared around his waist, and then tightly wrapped around his waist to form a dark blue belt.
The door of the storage room was split open in an instant, and the two doors flew past Shiki, and the wind blew up his black hair and blood-stained hospital gown.
"You little brat! I finally found you! It hurts so much! What on earth did you do?!"
"henshin!"
Lift the kivat high above your head, then hang it in the middle of the belt and press it down.
The body was wrapped in a black battle suit, and then more dark blue armor appeared to wrap the body. The feet and shoulders were wrapped in silver shells and firmly bound with multiple heavy iron chains. Two bat-like horns grew on the top of his head, as well as light blue eyes and a visor with fangs. The height also suddenly increased from the original 1.5 meters to 1.95 meters, which was completely different. Muscles were all over the body.
Kamen Rider Kiva (?) appears!
"?Who are you?!?"
Toono Shiki did not react, but just lowered his head and stood there. The standoff lasted for a long time, until the kivat hanging upside down on the belt became confused.
"Hey! It's time to fight, what are you doing, Shiki!"
Fangire, who was the first to recover from his shock, quickly swung his claws at Kiva. With sparks bursting, Kiva fell straight to the ground.
"What a great opportunity!"
Just when he was thinking of delivering a fatal blow,
Kiva's eyes, which had been motionless, suddenly changed from light blue to dark green, and then he stood up vertically on his heels at 90 degrees like a zombie, with his entire visor directly pressed against Fangire's face.
!
"Asshole! How dare you tease me!"
The enraged Fangire was about to swing the blade when he felt a sharp impact in his stomach. He flew backwards with his stomach bent, breaking the glass and falling on the lawn outside the hospital.
Kiva remained in a side-kick position, standing still.
"..." Kivat seemed to have noticed something, but still did not make any extra moves.
Kiva also jumped over the glass window and walked slowly towards Fangire step by step onto the lawn.
..................
it hurts!
it hurts!
It hurts, it hurts…
I watched the deep blue figure in front of me slowly walking towards me, his expressionless green eyes staring straight at me, and the huge white moon hanging mercilessly above his head. The moonlight poured on me wantonly, like a knight who was about to judge me.
I use every cell in my body to retreat.
He approached me slowly.
Backing away, approaching...
Finally, I realized that the kick almost broke my chest and it would take a while to recover.
Finally, the emotion called fear once again surged into my heart after many years.
"Don't come over here!!!"
"I see. Click."
Those emotionless words completely shattered my hopes.
Kiva took out the whistle from his waist, inserted it into the kivat's mouth and pressed it down.
Kivat randomly broke away from the belt and flew into the air, blowing the forbidden whistle. With the melodious whistle, he announced the death sentence of the monster in front of him.
Kiva lifted his right foot high, and the kivat circled around it to remove the seal of the chain wrapped around it.
"Wake up!"
Two dark blue wings spread out on both sides of the right foot, revealing three dazzling gems.
The moon above my head gradually turned scarlet.
Kiva kicked with his left foot and flew upside down like a bat into the air, as if he had arrived at the center of the moon. Under the moonlight, he was so shining and beautiful...
Finally, the full moon turned into a new moon.
After the power is fully charged, it is as fast as an arrow released from a fully drawn bowstring, tearing through the air and accelerating continuously.
Speed up again.
The kick, as powerful as a cannonball, hit the monster's chest accurately, dragging the whole person for dozens of meters, leaving a bat mark several square meters in size on the grass behind him. A second later, a huge explosion occurred, leaving a pit several meters deep...
This is Kiva's final knight kick - Dark Moon Break.
"Just physical damage... Just wait for me... Just wait for me to recover... Why? I am disappearing?..."
The monster's gorgeous body dissipated like smoke, and his true face -
The doctor
Like a broken mirror, his desires were shattered along with it.
Back to the earth...
The dark blue warrior stood quietly in place, looking into the distance.
Looking at the gray-haired man in the black coat,
Several wild beasts hiding in the darkness were lingering around him, staring at Kiva with their blood-red eyes.
"Her knight has appeared again in this era...
Unfortunately, now is not the time.
See you again if we are lucky! "
After saying this, he and those pairs of eyes completely disappeared into the night.
...............
"..."
"Open your eyes... Shiki... I am kivat..."
When I opened my eyes again, I saw darkness in front of me.
In this scene, the moonlight streaks palely across the night,
In a world where everything is numbed, it seems that only the moon is alive.
"Did we win, kivat?"
"I won. Shiki is so handsome! He defeated Fangire in just a few moves!"
"Really? That's great… No one will get hurt…"
The accumulated fatigue and physical exhaustion came rushing back.
"I'm sorry... Aoi..."
"Hey, hey! Why did you fall asleep again? Shiki! You're still injured!"
Toono Shiki, who had just woken up, fell into a deep sleep again.
Along with this
Starting night.
"This accident caused five deaths and two missing persons. The initial investigation found it to be an accident. The person in charge of the hospital will be held responsible for this matter. The specific cause is still under investigation..."
..............................
"All this is because of me... She shouldn't have died, no one should have died! If I... If I could be braver... If I didn't run away from reality at that time... If I..."
Toono Shiki could no longer hold back his tears, and he kept pounding the ground with his fists.
The wind by the river blew his sadness and anger louder and farther, as if he wanted the whole world to hear his self-blame...
"Shiki..."
She just looked at the boy quietly. She finally understood why he was so painful at that time, but he still told herself about this past event.
She gently held the boy in her arms, letting his head rest on her chest. She looked at him tenderly with her ruby-like eyes, her tears soaking her pure white casual clothes.
She stroked his hair gently.
"Shiki... You have tried your best. You have prevented this crisis and protected more people, right? Don't put too much sin and responsibility on yourself, Shiki..."
He seemed to have forgotten everything, and was finally able to pour out all his emotions and past through tears, until he peacefully fell asleep in the girl's arms...
"Well! But this is the intersection of my fate and the Master's! So we didn't name this night with a negative name! Instead, we call it 'Night of Beginning'~"
Kivat added excitedly, flapping his wings.
"Keep your voice down, Bat! Shiki hasn't slept so soundly in a long time... a long time. It's time for him to rest..."
The girl raised her head, the gentle moonlight sprinkled on the two of them, and she covered the boy in her arms with a quilt.
Even though the tall buildings across the river were interfering with all kinds of neon lights,
but,
The moon tonight,
Still so beautiful.
