The story we started

“Then we can just transfer to American citizenship. Anyway, the United States now has three-digit genders, so it’s not strange for two women to get married. Then we can just say that I am a man imprisoned in a woman’s body, and you look like a woman, but you are actually a gay man who likes to date men. If the immigration staff disagrees, we can just sue them for suspected gender discrimination!”

“Wait! What the hell are you talking about? Why are you a man trapped in a woman’s body, and I’m a gay man trapped in a woman’s body!?”

Kousaka Reina was immediately stunned by Kumiko Oomae’s remarks. She waved her hands and complained loudly, but the other party continued to make comments with a serious face.

“Tonight we will go meet your parents together, and once we have settled the matter, we will change our nationality and immigrate to the United States the next day. We must get away from this broken country that is about to be blown up by others!”

“Isn’t this last sentence your real purpose? You’re a pervert who’s taking advantage of the situation to sexually harass people!”

The beautiful black-haired girl was so angry that her face turned red. Unable to bear it any longer, she punched her friend on the head who was still chattering, silencing her physically and then turned around and ran out of the club room angrily.

“Go to hell! Kumiko you idiot!”

【Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Scientific Police Research Institute. 】

【08:53 P,M】

[Hina Ebina stood in front of a table with her arms folded across her chest, looking at the object on the table in front of her that was covered by a bulletproof glass cabinet with a heavy gaze.]

[She has been standing here for about an hour without any movement, like a statue, and the reason for her doing this is the thing covered in the glass cabinet.]

[G1’s belt and the accompanying crystal cards lay quietly on the table. The surface of the belt was still as smooth as new. The previous battle did not leave any traces of damage on it. The display screen was bright enough to reflect the troubled face of Ebina in front of him.]

[“Although I was prepared, I have to say that this time… you really gave me a big surprise, Kousaka Kyousuke.”]

【”and……”】

[Ebina placed his palm on the glass cabinet, looking at the masterpiece of his life placed inside, and resisted the urge to destroy it on the spot.]

[On the one hand, it is out of the love and nostalgia of scientists for their own works. On the other hand, the power shown by G1 in this battle is indeed powerful, which is urgently needed by the current police. ]

【However, through the series of situations that occurred when Kousaka Kyosuke used it this time, Ebina finally confirmed his conjecture that had been wavering due to lack of evidence. 】

[“G1…”]

[She slowly clenched her palms and looked at the belt lying inside. Her eyes were so solemn that they seemed to be dripping with water, and her voice gradually became colder.]

【“You—are alive.”】

【”Is it right?”】

[There is no response, and it is impossible to have a response. ]

[But Ebina was certain that everything that happened next was definitely not an illusion caused by fatigue. ]

【“!?”】

[After she finished speaking, the black belt display screen flashed a faint red light in her shrinking pupils, and then went out in an instant.]

[That light was like an open eye, cold and ominous.]

……

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

[The door number says Kousaka Kyosuke, and the bottom says Zaimokuza Yoshiteru. 】

[“Itabashi Ward’s murder is very big, No. 4’s last blow has a terrifying impact!” 》】

【《人都に咲く死びの花》、的狠戦いが正尊だったことはconfirmationされていない between living beings of the same race! ! ! 》】

[“Fruit たしてhumanityのloyaltyな戦Friends, あるいはannihilationびのApostle なのか! ? 》】

[As soon as I turned on my phone and surfed the Internet, these creepy and Chuunibyou-like headlines appeared everywhere, along with some photos of Banqiao District taken by reporters.]

[This industrial area, originally located on the edge of Tokyo, is no longer what it used to be. On the edge of a burnt land, a pit with a diameter of about three kilometers appears in the picture. With the photographer sitting in a helicopter and taking a commanding shot, the shocking feeling of this picture is indescribable, and it can easily evoke the fear of destructive violence in the hearts of humans.]

[There are two other photos attached below, one is a second-person view of the dark warrior leaping up and performing a flying kick, and the other is a satellite shot from outer space showing a huge red lotus flower blooming over the Japanese archipelago.]

【“…”】

[Looking at these photos, Zaimokuza, who was lying on the hospital bed with bandages all over his body, fell into silence. His face could no longer show the same smile as before, and his expression seemed very dull and bitter.]

[He felt very guilty. He had never expected that even though he had greatly overestimated the power of the almighty form strengthened by spiritual elements, he never expected the impact would be so great.]

[Although there is no detailed damage report yet, Zaimokuza can already predict what the headlines will be like across the country and even around the world tomorrow.]

[In this battle, the power he displayed is expected to completely change people’s past impressions of the Unconfirmed Life Form No. 4. The number of people who fear and hate him is expected to rise like a rocket, especially those who live in Banqiao District.]

[All the factories were almost completely destroyed by the flames and explosions. The land near the center of the explosion was scraped away. The residential areas also suffered heavy losses. Many innocent people lost their homes and jobs overnight.]

[If the evacuation had not been carried out in advance, it is estimated that many people would have died, and all of this was caused by him. How could he not be hated? ]

[“Looking at your expression, you seem to feel very guilty.”]

【A calm voice came from the side, Zaimokuza turned around and saw Kousaka Kyousuke lying on another bed, wrapped in bandages with only one eye and mouth left, peeling a bag of chestnuts and looking at him calmly.】

【When their eyes met, Zaimokuza immediately lowered his head and spoke sullenly.】

[“…I’m sorry. I really didn’t expect it to turn out like this.”]

[“This is not your fault. You don’t need to feel guilty about anything.”]

[Kousaka Kyosuke threw a shelled chestnut into his mouth and said while chewing.]

[“If you insist that this is your fault, then I am actually also at fault… because it was me who suggested that you use the golden power in Banqiao District, so I also have to bear part of the responsibility for this disaster.”]

[“If you don’t believe me, look here. These calls are all from people who want to hold me accountable.”]

[Kousaka Kyousuke reached out and took the phone from the bedside table and raised it to face Zaimokuza. He took a look and found that the screen had displayed a record of far more than 99+ incoming calls, and the number was still increasing.]

[“Because there are so many calls, I am too lazy to read them. I plan to wait until the press conference tomorrow to talk about them.”]

[Kousaka Kyosuke turned off his phone and threw it back, saying lightly.]

[“I’m really sorry, Mr. Kosaka, because of me you…”]

[Zaimokuza’s head drooped even lower, and his voice was filled with guilt.]

[“…I’ve already told you, you don’t need to feel guilty.”]

[Kousaka Kyosuke stopped peeling chestnuts and sighed helplessly.]

[“In a life-and-death battle, it is difficult for us to consider so many things. Even the best strategists in human history cannot guarantee that all their pre-war strategies are perfect. This incident was purely an accident and no one could have predicted it.”]

[“Not only you, even I did not expect that the red form strengthened by the golden power would be so terrifying. This is a lesson. Next time, if we encounter a situation where we must use this form, at least we know how to deal with it.”]

[“As for the victims… the Metropolitan Police Department will definitely give them a barely satisfactory explanation this time, so you can rest assured.”]

[“Don’t take accidents as your own mistakes. If you do, your life will be very tiring. Just comfort yourself more.”]

[“Would you like some chestnuts? These are what my mom sent me. She roasted them herself. They taste pretty sweet.”]

[“Mr. Kosaka… I didn’t expect you to be so good at comforting people.”]

[“Thank you. I’ll be grateful if you do.”]

[“Don’t be so picky. That’s unlike you.”]

[Zaimokuza forced a smile. Although he was still depressed, he finally stopped feeling guilty after being enlightened by Kousaka Kyousuke.]

[He stretched out his hand across the aisle and grabbed the chestnuts that Kousaka Kyosuke held in his right hand, and their palms just happened to touch.]

【——】

[——Zaimokuza’s heart suddenly stopped beating.]

[The image of Kousaka Kyosuke in his eyes suddenly distorted at this moment and turned into another figure. ]

[The figure was tall, with long black hair scattered all over the sky. A pair of scarlet eyes were hidden by the faintly visible hair, staring at him intently.]

[And behind this figure…]

【It is endless darkness.】

[Kala-Kala——]

【“!???”】

[After peeling off the shell, the round and bright yellow chestnuts fell to the ground, and the sound made Zaimokuza wake up from the previous illusion, and Kousaka Kyousuke’s puzzled expression replaced that figure. ]

[“What’s wrong? Your hands don’t seem very steady. Is your injury not healed yet?”]

[“Uh… No, it’s okay!”]

[Zaimokuza shook his head, and after making sure that the scene just now was no longer before his eyes, he bent down in a panic and picked up the fallen chestnuts.]

[“It’s delicious! Mr. Kousaka!”]

[“Hey, it’s all on the ground… forget it.”]

[Kousaka Kyosuke wanted to dissuade him, but as soon as he opened his mouth he saw him wolfing down the chestnuts, so he shook his head helplessly.]

[“Go to sleep quickly and take a good rest now. We will face a lot of troubles tomorrow.”]

[“Mmmmmm——Goo!?”]

[“…Don’t talk while eating. You’re choking, idiot.”]

【Rolling his eyes, Kousaka Kyousuke took the full water cup on the table with his left hand and handed it to Zaimokuza, who was blushing and beating his chest, then turned around and lay down.】

[“Saved, that——”]

【Zaimokuza swallowed the water and let out a long breath. He wanted to say something, but after seeing Kousaka Kyousuke covering himself with the cup, he hesitated for a few seconds and gave up the idea, and spoke instead.】

【“Good night… Mr. Kousaka.”】

[Kousaka Kyosuke, who was lying on his side, did not answer. Zaimokuza, who thought the other party had fallen asleep, stopped talking too. He rested his head with both hands on his head with a worried look on his face, staring blankly at the chandelier above his head.]

【“——”】

[But from an angle that Zaimokuza couldn’t see, Kousaka Kyosuke, who was lying on his side, was frowning tightly, and his face was covered with cold sweat without knowing when. ]

[He covered his right hand tightly with the quilt, and the surface of the quilt was shaking slightly. However, because of the quilt, Zaimokuza did not notice Kousaka Kyousuke’s abnormality as there was only one bed between them.]

【Zizi——】

[Kousaka Kyosuke’s right arm, which was covered by the quilt, suddenly had a faint red electric current jumping on the surface, and then disappeared.]

【Time is the most powerful force in the world, no matter when. 】

[No matter how sensational an event is, no matter how impressive a memory is, it will always gradually fade away under the torrent of time. This is particularly evident in current political news. For news media, popularity is life.]

[No matter how sensational the news is, it only has meaning and value when it first starts. Once a certain point in time has passed, it will gradually lose its original vitality.]

[This can be compared to a prime minister who was beaten by a righteous man who broke through the heavy guards in the street and went around to the back to fight against the gods. From the beginning, it was the world’s number one hot topic for nearly a week. After the heat passed, it became a joke that people only mentioned after dinner. With the passage of time, this hot news has become as meaningless as the life of the person involved. ]

[Similarly, the incident caused by the unidentified life form No. 30, which ultimately caused many deaths and huge economic losses, and was called the “Red Lotus Disaster” by journalists in the industry, is no longer as sensational as it was at the beginning. ]

[——By the time when the unidentified life form No. 4 killed No. 30, and the aftermath of the battle flattened the entire Banqiao District, setting off a massive explosion that could be seen with the naked eye even from outer space, a full month had passed.]

[One month is not a short time. It may not even be longer than the winter vacation of elementary school students. However, many things happened during this time, which are enough to make people living in Tokyo unforgettable.]

[The earth-shattering explosion left an indelible scar on Tokyo, Asia’s largest city. Tens of thousands of people living in Banqiao District lost their homes and jobs because of the explosion, and the entire industrial area was burned into a scorched earth with no grass growing. This horrific loss made all the residents of Tokyo feel genuine fear for the power displayed by No. 4 in this battle.]

[Therefore, driven by panic and public opinion, rumors were flying everywhere for a while. People’s voices against the police continuing to regard No. 4 as an accomplice reached an all-time high. The police held five press conferences to clarify the matter within a week, which led to another elderly leader being hospitalized due to lumbar disc herniation.]

[Even the Unidentified Lifeform Search Headquarters was put under tremendous pressure because of this incident. Not only did all the leaders, including Kousaka Kyousuke, have their vacations canceled, but they also had to work overtime overnight to deal with the negative impact of this incident. Everyone was exhausted and their work status plummeted. ]

[Although everyone is extremely tired, the enemy will not be so kind as to wait for them to recover before taking action. ]

[While the police were struggling to deal with the mess left by this incident, new unidentified life forms appeared again, and two of them appeared in less than a week, increasing the pressure on everyone.]

[Fortunately, these two unconfirmed life forms were finally perfectly resolved. No. 1, which appeared right after No. 0, was resolved single-handedly by Inspector Kyosuke Kosaka using the newly developed G system. This battle also saved the police’s already precarious reputation in the eyes of the outside world, proving to the world that they have the ability to independently expel Gurongi even without relying on No. . After G, the people once again have a more powerful shield, which to a certain extent stabilized the people’s hearts that were disturbed by the incident of No. . ]

[It was the case No. 32 that appeared later that was more troublesome, and this time the police had to work together with No. 4 under pressure from public opinion to resolve it.]

[No. 32’s method of killing is to ride a motorcycle and knock down other people who are also riding motorcycles, and then use the wheels to crush them to death. In terms of frontal combat power, it is actually not much stronger than the previous No. 31, but it has extremely terrifying mobility. ]
