Chapter 192 Growth
There were only two snake angels out for the work this time. The male Snake Lord had been killed yesterday, and now only the female Snake Lord was left to fight three against one.
Although Kana Okamura cannot fight, she can still contain Snake Lord. The output depends entirely on Shoichi Tsugami.
The Snake Lord, who already felt that the situation was not good, intended to break out, but at this time, Gills, howling wildly and showing his sharp claws, rushed over from not far away!
Gills jumped high, and when he landed, he swung a fierce blow towards the shoulder of the Snake Lord!
"boom!"
The Snake Venerable staggered a few steps in pain, and when he looked up again, he saw that he was surrounded by three Yajitas on three sides.
It looked around cautiously, then turned around and rushed towards Kana Okamura!
Okamura Kana subconsciously stepped back, then realized something and tried to step forward to stop it, but the Snake Master made a gesture with his hands in front of his chest while running.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew. Okamura Kana quickly raised her hand to block it, and the Snake Lord took the opportunity to pass by her!
However, the next moment, the blue Agito in storm form leaped over from a high altitude, and the Storm Halberd in his hand hit the back of the Snake Lord with force, knocking it into the fountain pool as it tried to escape.
"Wow!"
The Snake Lord fell heavily into the pool, and before he had time to adjust his fighting posture, Gills jumped into the fountain pool right after him!
The golden heel claw on his right wrist grew out as he roared, and slashed madly at the Snake Master, with sparks flying between the continuous blows.
The heel claw even cut off the cement of the fountain next to it. Its wild fighting posture and destructive power were already quite similar to the style of Black No. 2. The Snake Lord, who had just stood up for a while, screamed again and fell out of the pool.
Seeing this, Yajita, who was not far away, jumped up with both feet together, and slashed towards the Snake Lord with the Storm Halberd with a sharp blade extended in his hand!
"Bah—!"
The struggling body of the Snake Lord suddenly stiffened, an angel halo emerged from above its head, and finally exploded into a ball of fire that shot up into the sky!
On both sides of the flickering firelight, Agito and Gills looked at each other, and the firelight also reflected Kana Okamura who was standing not far away.
The three-man team of Agito won the first battle!
……
When the G3 armor finally arrived at the scene, there was nothing left in the Fountain Square, and the entire G3 team was in a state of confusion, with swords drawn and looking around.
Although it was fortunate that Unknown's problem was solved smoothly, Ozawa Sumiko sighed and leaned back in her chair.
"This is troublesome..."
*
The birth of the G series armor was actually very bumpy.
Two years ago, when "unidentified life forms" ravaged Tokyo, Sumiko Ozawa entered the Metropolitan Police Department to participate in research and development through the introduction of her teacher.
By analyzing No. 4's combat data, she quickly developed the first G1 system.
However, this system is extremely strict on the physical fitness of the wearers. The first wearer who was carefully selected was directly transformed into a Gurongi by No. 0 in the first battle...
There was no time to collect actual combat data.
Although Sumiko Ozawa continued to rebuild the new system, when the G3, to which she had put so much effort, finally came into the world, the unconfirmed life form had already disappeared.
The reason why the G3 team has not disbanded is that many [super ancient ruins] have been discovered all over the world.
Sumiko Ozawa believes that enemies will appear in the future, and that the G3 system will still be necessary even if the day comes when it can be used.
And so we have waited until now.
G3 armor is indeed needed, but it doesn't seem to be so necessary.
Because——Agito.
If there is no way to defeat the enemy before Agito, the G3 system will eventually be eliminated. Even the current G3 system can no longer deal with those Unknowns, and will ultimately need to rely on Agito's power.
But she didn't want to give up the G3 system just like that.
Sumiko Ozawa held the helmet of the G3 armor and touched it. Perhaps she needed to develop a more powerful system as soon as possible.
……
……
night.
After finishing today's meeting with Agito, Kawahara sent Kana Okamura, who was forced to miss work for a whole day, back to her own residence.
"I know you still have a lot of concerns in your mind, but think carefully about today's battle. Your power can be used to save others."
Kawahara looked at her and smiled.
Okamura Kana nodded slightly without saying anything.
After watching her go upstairs, Kawahara did not go back to PolePole Cafe first, but turned back and picked up Awihara Ryo who had overturned his car on the way.
The motorcycle crashed into the roadside railing and the person fell directly into the bushes. It was as miserable as it could be.
Kawahara sat on the motorcycle and looked down: "How about it, will you still fight next time even if it's like this?"
Awihara Ryo: “…”
Everything was normal after the battle during the day, and it was also normal when the three of them talked and parted ways. But just now, when they were halfway through the drive, Ashihara Ryo suddenly felt a familiar sharp pain.
This was what happened when I woke up before.
His flesh and blood body seemed to be torn apart by something and then slowly healed, and in this process, his physical condition would rapidly deteriorate.
Awihara Ryo was lying on the grass with his hands covering his abdomen with cold sweat: "Did you know this a long time ago, so you came here to see the fun?" Kawahara smiled, walked into the dark bushes and picked the man up. When he put Awihara Ryo's arm on his shoulder, he noticed the old and skinny skin on the back of the other's hand.
Gills consumed life energy every time he transformed. Even if the power of light could be restored, the supply would not be enough.
He placed Awihara Ryo on the Ultimate Chaser, and watching him endure the pain, he suddenly said, "When you transformed during the day..."
"Hmm?" Awihara Ryo looked at him strangely.
"Your girlfriend saw it from behind."
"..."
Awihara Ryo froze immediately.
So when he looked over after the fight, he didn't see Mayumi Katahira next to the motorcycle. He thought she had called the police first and left.
It turned out that it was because I saw him like that...
Even the coach was scared away after seeing his appearance, and he didn't think Katahira Mayumi could accept it.
After a while of silence.
Awihara Ryo whispered, "It's good this way. We didn't have any relationship before, so even if something happens, it won't involve her."
Kawahara looked at him and asked, "So, even if you become like this, will you still fight next time?"
"Why do you keep asking this question?" Awihara Ryo looked at him puzzled.
"I just want to confirm your determination. It's because you, the Force of Light, have always been so unconfident. Besides, you also know that Gills is different from other Agitos."
"have nothing to say……"
Awihara Ryo said in a weak tone, "Just like what that guy said during the day, this kind of battle can help more people like him. It's the only thing I can do now."
——Is it what Shoichi Tsugami said?
Kawahara thought about it and this was indeed a good reason to fight.
Ashihara Ryo suddenly added, "Of course, I will never join the [Agito Club] or anything like that!"
Kawahara couldn't help but smile, and seeing that he was so weak that it was difficult for him to even speak, he didn't ask any more questions.
However, in the original drama, it was Kurokami who gave the aging Awihara Ryo a chance to live, but tonight Kurokami did not come to pick him up. It was not known whether his actions affected the outcome, so he had to come and pick him up himself.
Kawahara rode on Ashihara Ryo's motorcycle, and the Ultimate Chaser followed behind with the person on its back, and both of them disappeared into the night together.
……
……
Late at night, the wind was cold and bleak.
Mikumo Sakiko was walking alone on the quiet street, sometimes she lowered her head in thought, sometimes she looked into the distance in a trance.
Some time ago, the genetic model experiment of the Opaz Institute was declared a failure.
So the entire institute was disbanded.
But it was not a real failure. No one knew the truth except her. Mikumo Sakiko took the initiative to stop all research and disbanded the research institute.
Because of that hazy evening and dawn, she seemed to see the birth of God.
The decomposition of the gene model was clearly still in the nucleic acid experiment stage, but in that pile of broken liquid, a miraculous baby was born.
Just like God...
But is he a god?
Or was it all just a fantasy of hers?
In fact, Mikumo Sakiko didn’t understand what she saw at that time. At that moment, she seemed to have entered the realm of God and witnessed everything that was incomprehensible. She was greatly shocked from both her thinking and spirit.
The impact of this incident may not be realized until a long time later, when she will forget it as a dream.
But before that, she couldn't do anything.
Mikumo Sakiko walked slowly forward.
And not far behind her.
A little boy of seven or eight years old in black clothes quietly stared at her back and followed her silently. He had a mysterious aura around him and no one could actively discover his presence.
At night, a cold wind blew from the front.
Suddenly, the little boy stopped following and slowly turned his head to look at the glass window of the street shop.
The clear glass window reflected his face. In a burst of illusory light, the little boy of seven or eight years old grew into a teenager of fifteen or sixteen years old.
The boy stared at himself in the mirror silently, then he turned around and left in the opposite direction of Mikumo Sakiko.
From beginning to end, he never looked back at the woman who had brought him into the world.
