Chapter 190 Agito Club
"Ah~ Actually, I'm quite happy that Mr. Kawahara can come here again!"
Shoichi Tsugami, who received the three people, said with a smile, placed the cut vegetable salad and hot tea on the tea table in the living room, and then sat down directly on the carpet.
Because the sofas in three directions were occupied by three people.
Ashihara Ryo and Okamura Kana sat on the single sofas on the left and right respectively, while Kawahara occupied the entire long sofa alone - mainly because the former liked to sit alone and the other didn't dare to sit too close to him.
Seeing that the three of them didn't move, Tsugami Shoichi continued with a warm smile: "Don't be polite! These are all vegetables I grew myself, without any pesticides at all!"
While saying this, Shoichi Tsugami pushed three cups of hot tea in front of the three people.
"Please drink! Please drink! Please drink!"
Seeing his overly enthusiastic praise, Awihara Ryo sighed, took the lead in picking up the hot tea in front of him and drank it in one gulp, and as expected, he was scalded.
Seeing him take action, Okamura Kana politely picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Tsugami Shoichi looked around at them with a bright smile, then looked at Kawahara in confusion: "Eh? Mr. Kawahara, aren't you going to drink?"
Kawahara slowly picked up the teacup in front of him.
"No coffee?" he asked suddenly.
"Coffee? Oh~ Of course hot tea with salad is the best at this time!" Shoichi Tsugami grinned.
"But I want coffee."
"Huh? Could it be that Mr. Kawahara doesn't know how to drink tea?" Shoichi Tsugami looked at him in surprise.
——Is this something that can be said directly?
Okamura Kana looked at him.
“Yes, I can’t drink it.”
Then Kawahara put the teacup down directly.
Upon hearing this, Tsugami Shoichi frowned, then stood up and said seriously as if he had made up his mind: "Okay! Then I'll try to make a cup of coffee! - By the way, can Mr. Kawahara drink?"
"Don't drink."
"emmm..."
After asking the last off-topic question, Shoichi Tsugami turned around thoughtfully and went back to the tea room.
Okamura Kana always felt that something was not right. Although she did not want to get involved, after looking at the serious but unreliable back of that man, she still tentatively said, "Well...why don't I go and help him prepare?"
Kawahara said casually: "It's up to you to decide." Although the tea you made wasn't very tasty.
So Kana Okamura chose to go to the tea room to take a look.
Watching the two people leave, Awihara Ryo leaned back on the sofa with his arms folded: "Is that guy really Agito? He doesn't look trustworthy at all."
Kawahara smiled upon hearing this, "He was pretty reliable when he was fighting, just like you were different after you became Gills."
After hearing this, Awihara Ryo remained silent.
Kawahara continued, "You should have already felt it. Every time you transform into Gills, your body will be overdrawn. Yesterday, I could only help you eliminate the side effects of your first transformation. I'm afraid it will recur later."
Every time Gills transforms, he overdraws his life, so when he turns back into human form, Awihara Ryo will age for a period of time.
Although the power of light can repair this aging condition, the power of light in Ashihara Ryo's body is incomplete. After his transformation, he cannot even condense the "Philosopher's Stone", the embodiment of the power of light.
That's why Gills is rare.
Because it is another form of evolution that has been achieved by humans unleashing their own potential.
And being rare means that it is easy to be out of print, because human life energy simply cannot withstand such evolution.
If the remaining light power in Ashihara Ryo is to continue to evolve, an awakened human being is needed to give him all his light power.
Kawahara can do this, but he cannot give out his light power.
So if Okamura Kana escaped yesterday...
Then Kawahara will choose to give her power of light to Ashihara Ryo, but now Kana Okamura has transformed into Agito to fight, so it is better to choose this target from the [Dawn].
Before that, let Awihara Ryo fight for a while with low health. He won’t die anyway!
Kawahara picked up the hot tea and took a sip.
When he thought of this, he suddenly had a sense of déjà vu.
So when the silent Awihara Ryo looked up at him again, he saw an inexplicable feeling of sympathy and joy in the man's eyes.
Ashihara Ryo: "...What are you looking at?"
Kawahara smiled and shook his head: "No~"
Awihara Ryo was about to say something with a frown on his face, when suddenly there was a crackling sound coming from the tea room.
Then came Shoichi Tsugami's voice full of doubt and Kana Okamura's apology.
"You can even knock it over like this, you don't look like you're suitable for doing these things!" Shoichi Tsugami said seriously.
“Yes…Is that so…”
Kana Okamura lowered her head as she picked up the broken pieces of the cup.
But Tsugami Shoichi quickly grinned and said, "Of course! If you work hard, you can still learn it. Look, if you hold the cup like this, you won't get burned, and you can also pour milk very conveniently!"
Kana Okamura watched his hand movements silently, then looked at Shoichi Tsugami's smiling face.
Because she heard that the person in front of her was Agito, the first person to fight against angels, and she was the one who stopped him from losing control yesterday, so even though she didn't know him at all, Kana Okamura tried to approach him actively.
How does a person who fights without hesitation like that live his normal life?
……
"Brush your teeth, wash your face, do laundry, cook, etc..."
Tsugami Shoichi was counting on his fingers as he recalled his daily life. He suddenly remembered something and said with a happy smile, "And the most important thing is to make the vegetables in the garden grow tall and big!"
Okamura Kana listened and looked at him blankly.
Kawahara looked at the cup of latte art made by the two of them and said calmly, "Well, it's just a matter of living your life as usual."
Ashihara Ryo's expression was unclear: "That's too easy to say. If the angels are going to hunt us down, it's impossible to live a good life. ...And the same goes for a body like this."
“That’s why I hope you can help each other.”
Kawahara said as he took a sip of coffee.
It tastes pretty good, even though Kana Okamura messed it up, but Shoichi Tsugami is still a pretty good chef after all.
Tsugami Sho, who was sitting on the carpet, took a look at them and suddenly suggested with a look of surprise: "It's great to help each other. In this case, why don't we form an Agito club? Let everyone who is Agito join in, and then we can hold a transformation party together!"
Awihara Ryo leaned back with a strange expression.
Okamura Kana coughed while holding the hot tea, and her expression became even more panicked - this sounded just like a monster association!
She was afraid that Kawahara would agree to it right away.
That's not as good as a [three-person team]!
Wait...so why did she start thinking about this kind of question?
Ever since they came here to visit Shoichi Tsugami, even though he had heard about the ancient war, this person didn't act like he took it seriously at all.
Tsugami Shoichi even said seriously - I see! No wonder I always felt that Mr. Kawahara wanted me to do something difficult, but I thought it was incredible at the time, so I ran away haha!
So Shoichi Tsugami, who said this with a laugh, was directly labeled as "unreliable" by both Ashihara Ryo and Okamura Kana.
Now it seems... this guy is really a very casual person!
At this time, Tsugami Shoichi laughed again and said, "Isn't this great? I didn't expect that there are so many people like me in this world. Suddenly, I feel that my fight is more meaningful!"
Awihara Ryo was stunned after hearing this.
And Tsugami Shoichi continued excitedly: "Hey! So let's form the Agito Club together!"
Kana Okamura stared at the teacup in front of her without saying a word, wondering why she came here today. Was it to join the [Agito Club]?
Then Kawahara also shattered the idea of "Agito Club" in their minds with just one word.
"Absolutely not."
"Eh?"
Shoichi Tsugami looked at him in confusion.
Kawahara said seriously: "Agitos must help each other, just like the collaboratively planned human society, but Agitos must never form groups, just like the human police department only recruits qualified members."
This sentence seemed to make sense, so Tsugami Shoichi pondered over it, muttering something like "But isn't the Agito Club great?"
Kana Okamura breathed a sigh of relief as she finally didn't have to join the "Agito Club", but after hearing what Kawahara said, her expression became even stiffer.
She looked at Kawahara in surprise.
Awihara Ryo didn't understand and asked: "What do you mean by that? You asked us to help each other but you didn't let us stick together. So your purpose of bringing us together now is—"
"Just keep living your life as you should."
Kawahara stirred his coffee and said, "Agito is no different from all other humans. You just need to remember this and don't think of yourself as something special. As for the [Agito Club]..."
Tsugami Shoichi looked over with shining eyes.
Kawahara then smiled and said, "This matter is of great importance, and I have no idea yet, so professionals will come to negotiate with you in a few days."
——This is changing the order of the world!
Although Shoichi Tsugami and Ryo Ashihara haven't realized anything yet, Kana Okamura has fallen silent with worry.
The more she thought about it, the more depressed she became.
However, Tsugami Shoichi soon smiled cheerfully again: "That's great~ Now we can be considered companions!"
He smiled so much that his eyes narrowed, and as he spoke he nodded vigorously towards the people on his left and right, as if he agreed with something.
With such an enthusiastic and silly look right in front of her, Kana Okamura could only nod in response in embarrassment.
But the next moment-
Tsugami Sho, who looked a little silly just now, suddenly had a stern expression. He suddenly raised his head and looked in one direction. He stood up and quickly took off his apron.
His appearance made the two people next to him a little stunned.
"Eh? Mr. Tsugami..."
Okamura Kana subconsciously expressed her concern, but the hospitable Shoichi Tsugami ignored her and turned away with a stern face!
Bangdang…
There was also the sound of the courtyard door being slammed outside.
The two people in the room looked at Shoichi Tsugami in confusion as he ran out without hesitation, and then saw his back speeding away on a motorcycle through the floor-to-ceiling window.
Finally, the two looked at each other again.
So was the enthusiasm just now all fake?
Kawahara observed for a while and found that there was really no connection between the two people.
He then stood up and said, "Let's go together. Another angel has appeared to attack the target."
Hearing this, Ashihara Ryo was startled, and after he realized what was happening, he also stood up and ran out. Okamura Kana could only follow the two of them hesitantly.
Kawahara got on the Ultimate Pursuer, picked up another motorcycle helmet and handed it to Kana Okamura, looking at her quietly with his dark eyes.
Okamura Kana took a deep breath and sat on it.
Ashihara Ryo didn't know the exact location, and Tsugami Shoichi had already sped away, so he looked at Kawahara inquiringly.
"I don't know exactly where it is, but it's probably in that direction. Just follow me."
After Kawahara finished speaking, the Ultimate Tracker retracted its wheels as it pleased and turned into a beam of black light, rushing into the sky.
Awihara Ryo who was about to follow him: "..."
After silently watching the Ultimate Pursuer disappear into the horizon and confirming that neither of them were reliable, Ashihara Ryo finally started the motorcycle and drove out based on his own feeling.
……
……
Kana Okamura, who was caught off guard and flew into the sky, screamed in surprise. Before she could come to her senses, the Ultimate Pursuer, which had circled in the air for a large area, suddenly dived down at a high speed.
At this time, Kawahara's voice rang out: "Ms. Okamura! Quickly transform and catch her!"
"what?"
Kana Okamura looked down subconsciously and saw a person screaming in free fall in the air.
And with her inexplicably excellent eyesight, it seemed that he was a familiar person.
"Hurry up!" Kawahara shouted again.
“Ah…I know!”
Being urged, Kana Okamura responded hastily. She even forgot to transform. When the Ultimate Tracker came above that person, she actually jumped out from the back seat!
woohoo-
The strong wind from high altitude made her hair flutter, and the people below who saw her free falling with her widened their eyes in shock, and even forgot to scream in fear.
Okamura Kana grabbed around with her hands, but there was always some distance between the two of them in the air.
The person who was thrown high into the air by Unknown also reacted at this moment. Regardless of whether they would be smashed into a puddle together or some miracle would happen, she also tried hard to reach out and try to grab Okamura Kana.
Seeing that the scene on the ground was already clearly visible, Okamura Kana gritted her teeth and shouted, her body suddenly falling under the invisible force, and she suddenly grabbed the other person's arm and held it.
At this time, another long voice came from the sky.
"You can yell 'transform', otherwise you will fall into a puddle of coffee~"
Okamura Kana: “…” What?!
She didn't react at all when she jumped down, and thought Kawahara would fly down and catch them!
It turned out that person had no such plan!
At this time, the ground was getting closer and closer, and the dark shadow of the Ultimate Tracker was getting farther and farther away. Okamura Kana was anxious and angry, and finally closed her eyes and shouted -
"Hen...Henshin!"
