Chapter 198: Living Fossils from the Ancient Times

After Kawahara left Koto District, he contacted Shoichi Tsugami using the in-car communication system he had just installed, but he received no response from the other side.

How can we still lose contact after having communication?
He directly turned on the car's positioning system and followed the navigation to a river mouth in the urban area, and then saw Shoichi Tsugami lying on the edge of the safe zone, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

Kawahara was silent: "..."

This is a rare scene where Agito is humiliated, right?

Because Ashihara Ryo just woke up from his coma yesterday, Kawahara had no intention of informing him of the appearance of Lord Crow this time.

But he didn't expect that this time Sho Tsugami would fail, although he found that the Crow Lord did have some strength after a brief fight with him.

So just like he picked up Ashihara Ryo that night, Kawahara threw Tsugami Shoichi onto the Ultimate Chaser, and then found the Mechanical Tornado parked nearby and drove back.

……

evening.

Kana Okamura has been taking care of Ashihara Ryo these two days, so she will come over to deliver meals at mealtime.

Then I saw another unconscious friend.

Okamura Kana: “…”

She looked at Tsugami Shoichi, who was still sleeping on Awihara's bed, in astonishment, and was somewhat surprised at his condition: "Is it the angel who appeared this time?"

"He must have underestimated his enemy. That bird isn't actually that difficult to deal with." Kawahara said as he opened his lunch box.

"By the way, are we just going to leave it alone?"

Ashihara Ryo looked at the person who came over and occupied his bed.

Kawahara specifically called and asked Kana Okamura to bring an extra lunch box before coming, but in fact it was not reserved for Shoichi Tsugami, he just wanted to eat two servings.

Kawahara didn't seem very worried about Ashihara Ryo's question.

He said as he ate, "The power of light will slowly repair the injuries of the body. The symptoms you had in the past two days have disappeared now, so he will be fine after a good sleep."

In this respect, the effects of the power of light and the Aguru Spirit Stone are actually similar.

Even if Yusuke Godai suffers a serious injury, he can recover in a short time. The same is true for Shoichi Tsugami, who possesses the "Philosopher's Stone" which condenses the power of light in his body.

In fact, Ashihara Ryo was in a similar situation, except that his light power was incomplete, so he was in a coma for three days before recovering.

Awihara Ryo looked at his hands thoughtfully.

Kawahara continued, "Also, I came to you this time to talk about something else. You should be mentally prepared."

"what's up?"

Ashihara Ryo and Okamura Kana both looked at him.

So after the two of them paid attention to him, Kawahara spoke in a very casual tone, in a very nonchalant style, and with an attitude that he didn't care - about the possibility that the human police or military might attack and capture "Agito".

"Bang!"

Okamura Kana was so scared that she stood up suddenly, and the stool behind her fell down.

Ashihara Ryo was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Why are you attacking us? Hasn't Agito been fighting Unknown all along? This shows that Agito is not an enemy, right?"

Kawahara glanced at the two people with completely different reactions: "Don't think too much of humans. The police may not trust Agito. As for the military, I guess they knew about the existence of "superpowers" a long time ago, and the plan to capture Agito is just a trigger."

Although the power of light has only begun to revive in large quantities in recent years, some people with extraordinary talents - such as Mio and Manao Fuuya, are humans who awakened long ago.

Therefore, it is not too surprising that the existence of "super powers" would be discovered by some people.

Kawahara continued, "So I told you this so that you can be prepared. Even if you have to fight with angels, you must first observe your surroundings and protect yourself to avoid an ambush. If necessary..."

When he said this, his tone paused slightly.

They both looked at him.

Kawahara's expression faded and he said, "You don't have to choose to transform and fight."

Hearing this, Kana Okamura breathed a sigh of relief.

Kawahara was very confident that she would not transform and fight. Even if she transformed, she would just be a sideshow, so it was obvious that his words were meant for Awihara Ryo to hear.

Shoichi Tsugami was able to heal himself after being beaten.

Although Awihara Ryo can recover after being beaten, it will consume his maximum health.

So this unfortunate child can't stand being beaten.

After hearing this, Awihara Ryo fell silent.

Angels would only appear to attack humans, and if they encountered angels and did not fight, it would be equivalent to just watching the scene before their eyes.

This is really difficult for them to do.

"Mr. Kawahara has fought against unidentified life forms before, right? So when you encounter this situation, will you also stand aside and watch?" Ashihara Ryo suddenly asked. "Of course not." Kawahara answered almost immediately.

So Awihara Ryo didn't say anything else, but just stared at him with unmoved eyes.

Then Kawahara added: "Because I am very powerful. When I stand there, it is enough to scare them so that they dare not take action."

Awihara Ryo: “…”

What a speechless reason.

Awihara Ryo couldn't help but let out a click of his tongue in annoyance, and reached out to open the lunch box in front of him and prepared to eat.

At this time, the silent Okamura Kana spoke up: "Mr. Ashihara, I think Mr. Kawahara's worry is not unreasonable. If we get hurt and turn back into humans, I'm afraid we will lose even the last bit of our normal life."

Awihara Ryo paused while picking up the food.

Kana Okamura always thinks more than them and has already considered the horrific consequences of having her suit stripped off.

Awihara Ryo couldn't eat anymore, so he put down his chopsticks and looked at Kawahara who was eating his second lunch box: "So there is no solution at all? And why do you think it doesn't matter?"

Kawahara said slowly, "There is no need to worry about the police's actions for now. There may still be room for detours. As for the intelligence from the military, I am still trying to obtain it. Once I have definite information, I plan to go over there and see how the situation is resolved."

Having said this, he looked at the two of them.

"So I said it from the beginning, just to prepare you for this kind of thing."

"..."

"..."

After the two were speechless, Ashihara Ryo picked up the chopsticks and continued eating. After taking two bites, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Kawahara who was sitting next to him.

This person's behavior is sometimes a bit frivolous...

The rest of the time it seems pretty reliable.

After all, he was once "Unconfirmed Life Form No. 2" and he once fought to protect humanity.

Moreover, according to the newspaper, those unidentified life forms were resurrected from some super ancient ruins, so the person in front of him should also be...

Awihara Ryo who was standing here suddenly paused, as if he finally realized something.

"pat..."

He was so shocked that the chopsticks fell from his hand.

Ashihara Ryo stared at Kawahara who was sitting next to him with eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief - so this person must actually be several thousand or even hundreds of years old? !

Maybe even more than that?
After all, it is a very ancient time! What kind of living fossil is this...

Why hasn't it been dissected yet?

Kawahara, who was suddenly stared at like this, looked at him strangely.

"what happened?"

"No...nothing..."

Finally realizing a fact, Awihara Ryo picked up his chopsticks and ate in silence, shivering.

Okamura Kana also looked at him strangely.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.

Kawahara was wondering whether the unfortunate kid had not recovered yet when his new cell phone, which he bought yesterday, suddenly rang.

After looking at the caller ID, Kawahara answered the call directly without hesitation.

"It's me, Kawahara."

"Um……"

"Hachioji Station? Hmm..."

"I understand. Of course I won't do anything rash."

"..."

After ending the call, Kawahara looked at the two people on his left and right.

Awihara Ryo obviously couldn't hold back: "What is it?"

Kawahara put down his phone and continued eating: "Some time ago, I went to the Science and Police Research Institute to get a bunch of neurotomy bullets and also specially investigated dark metal. I don't know if it's some people with ulterior motives who want to do something to me."

Awihara Ryo: “?”

But didn't you say you were intimidating?
