Why can't humans do it too?

As for subjects outside of school... well, he should be described as having the curiosity and drive that a high school student should have.

"Unlike other tectonic plates and the more widely circulated theory of continental drift, the claim that the Japanese mainland was formed by a giant meteorite that fell to Earth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years ago has become more plausible in recent years thanks to research by scientists from various countries."

"Of course, when you were little, you probably heard your parents tell those stories passed down through generations. For example, the whole of Japan is a country that fell from the sky, along with many demons and gods who protected mankind. And the first humans developed our civilization under the protection of the gods. Hahaha, I grew up listening to these myths too~"

The teacher was still lecturing on the podium, but Araragi Koyomi lowered his head slightly and fiddled with his bangs hanging down his forehead. He had no intention of praising or criticizing the teacher's lecture, but at least in his opinion, calling an island nation a continent was indeed a bit too strange.

In fact, what this teacher said was a bit too conservative. At least in Araragi Koyomi's collection of books, there are all sorts of exaggerated and imaginative novels that are even more outlandish than what the teacher described.

However, there is one thing that all those books have in common—the same Milky Way appears in their stories. The river is like a wisp of gauze, yet it is so close that it seems within reach, and it possesses all sorts of magical powers.

And a shimmering, sun-like goddess with wings.

Araragi Koyomi naturally knew that he was just an ordinary human being. To be honest, he wasn't interested in how Japan was born many years ago. What was troubling him now was a slightly interesting choice—he hadn't gone to buy any goods in a long time.

There was some commotion; people became restless.

The black-haired boy adjusted his posture and subtly tugged at the corner of his underwear.

"So over a long period of time, that meteorite continued to weather and erode by the sea, eventually breaking apart into the shapes of the various islands of Japan. The various weathered soils and gravels also expanded the area of ​​our country..."

Well, Araragi Koyomi had already figured out that this teacher was a staunch believer in the theory of Japanese meteorite formation, and he was enthusiastically promoting this idea to his students, trying to pique their interest—to be honest, it worked quite well; the students did indeed prefer this feeling of myth and reality being mixed together.

So cooloooooooool~

For contemporary Japanese high school students, regardless of gender, being cool enough and having enough to talk about with friends is enough. After all, this is what their country looks like every day, so what do things from so many years ago have to do with them?

Although questions remain about how a meteorite so large it could connect directly to the seabed from the surface managed to hit Earth without shattering it, how the dust it kicked up didn't enter the stratosphere and linger for years, and how it didn't wipe out all life on Earth, kind students like Araragi Koyomi chose to remain silent in class to save face for their teacher.

After class, I greeted the class monitor from the next class, rode my bike home, ate dinner, played with my younger sister, and went to the store late at night... to buy pornographic magazines. What a wonderful day!

It was an exceptionally good day for Araragi Koyomi, if only he hadn't encountered those strange characters who appeared as if some button had been pressed and the world had been switched.

Why would they choose the time of day with the fewest human presence in order to avoid attracting attention and to stay cool?

Araragi Koyomi initially thought it was just a casual conversation among classmates, that a beautiful vampire, existing only in rumors, was asking him for blood. Even without seeing anything else unusual, Koyomi was certain that this beauty was definitely a legendary vampire, based solely on her extraordinary beauty and the canine teeth that were revealed when she spoke and smiled.

Ah, and perhaps we should also include that bewitching charm.

It appears that the person involved... the ghost involved is in a state of serious injury.

Sympathy and fear coexisted in his heart. Araragi Koyomi approached the blond vampire, moving step by step. He really wanted to run away, and had even taken a step to run away. However, he stopped when he heard the vampire's self-destructive shouts.

High school boy Araragi Koyomi must be going crazy. After reading so many novels, watching so many anime and movies, is it finally his turn to save the world?

It's really too late. If it were delayed for another year, he might lose his qualification to save the world—I must be crazy to think of this.

Voluntarily offering one's neck to a vampire with its mouth wide open...

While internally criticizing himself like this, Araragi Koyomi was immersed in a kind of bewitching intoxication. The next moment, he and the blond vampire opened their eyes wide.

They stopped sucking blood and indulging in the beauty; at this time of night, the usually secluded and quiet street corner suddenly became lively.

This was no longer the case where Araragi Koyomi, an ordinary high school student, was secretly speculating about whether the beautiful blonde woman in the red dress was a real vampire based on his observations. Compared to the seriously injured woman he had encountered, these three suddenly appearing guys completely overturned the table of Araragi Koyomi's "ordinary world."

How could someone suddenly appear on a street where nothing existed just a second ago in an ordinary world?

How could anyone in an ordinary world have wings that can stretch and move freely, and even shed feathers?

How could someone in this ordinary world be someone whose body could see right through her and see the car behind her?

The other one has a glowing halo on its head! And it also has long, pointed ears!

However, his physique is indeed quite good. Araragi Koyomi subconsciously gave it a thumbs up, and finally there was one more question—how much longer can he live?

As if they had made an appointment with the blonde woman who appeared to be a vampire, the three people who suddenly appeared were also in a terrible state, including a man who collapsed to the ground as soon as he appeared.

Covered in blood.

Chapter Two: Extraterrestrial Communication Events

He looked as if he had been pulled from a pool of blood, with even his hair covered in dark red scabs. However, Araragi Koyomi could still make out the hair color that this man who had appeared out of nowhere should have, which looked like a beautiful platinum gold under the light.

Who else could it be but Suer?

To be honest, Suer's condition was extremely bad at the moment. You could even say that falling into a coma saved him from even more suffering.

Compared to the healable physical injuries, the more serious ones were the injuries he sustained on the soul level during his struggle with Amaterasu for world dominance. The final act of connecting the energy flowing from that galaxy to Jibril had exhausted his last bit of energy.

After Sull fell into a coma, Xin Ke and Jibril despised and mocked each other while Xin Ke quickly helped Jibril gather all the controllable branches of the galaxy that had traversed the past and present after its collapse. This provided Jibril with enough energy to sustain her physical existence in this world.

Although there was no instruction manual for Xin Ke to consult, just imagining watching the galaxy that had taken them to the future and back just vanish and cease to exist, Su Er would probably be 'delighted' to find that he would never again be able to travel to that human society full of entertainment and life.

Therefore, after gathering a portion of the galactic branch's energy, Jibril also influenced more of the scattered energy, and used that enormous energy to bring herself and Sue back to the future world that Hinkie had described.

Xin Ke was just an afterthought.

The fact that the landing point was uncontrollable, and that it appeared in the air rather than being found buried in the ground or inside a wall, was already a sign of good fortune.

Jibril immediately spotted the strangely positioned blonde female and adopted an attack stance without hesitation. The halo above her head, composed of mysterious symbols, began to spin rapidly. However, in the next second, to Araragi Koyomi's tense gaze, the suddenly appearing angel shrank in size.

Or rather, after a few circles, the wide wings suddenly became adorable, but what was even more adorable was that face, which even had a touch of baby fat, and those big, watery eyes, perfectly matching OKS's standards—young, cute, and girlish.

Incidentally, the above standards were ones that Araragi Koyomi once misunderstood and privately interpreted. In reality, they should be the three principles of emergency evacuation: no pushing, no running, and no talking.

This also reveals the true nature of this unlucky high school boy.

Araragi Koyomi couldn't help but admire his own courage and boldness. Even in the face of such a magical and bizarre scene, he could still let his thoughts wander to this extent. But it was no wonder. If the angel just now looked fierce and frightening, then she now only looked cute. Her murderous eyes had turned into eyes that tried their best to make herself look fierce.

Hmm, perhaps the term "little adult" would be more accurate.

"Um... do the three of you also need help?" After hesitating for a while, Araragi Koyomi still chose to show friendliness to the aliens, even though he had already said the same thing to the blond vampire.

Or would it be better to say it another way?

"Welcome to Earth."

Araragi Koyomi bowed slightly and said.

"Pfft~"

The high school boy's kindness was met with merciless ridicule, but just as he was feeling slightly embarrassed, he realized that the ridicule was not directed at him, but at the little girl angel.

The one who spoke was the large-breasted elf with a semi-transparent body—because of her long ears, Araragi Koyomi took the lead in naming her after a popular character from a manga or novel he had read in the past.

"How weak you are! This brainless young lady seems to have been mistaken for a cute and harmless being by the boy in front of you?" Xin Ke mocked, drawing out her words. "Well, it's not surprising. After all, your current appearance is more likely to attract certain types of men with unusual tastes."

"Let me think... I think it's called pedophilia, right? Hehehe~"

"Ah~ right, right~, Miss Monster wouldn't want to vent her anger on weak creatures like humans, would she? What would that be called? Bullying the weak and fearing the strong?"

While helping Suer up, Xinke, whose mind and state were connected to the man, was relieved because she could sense that his condition had stabilized. She then frantically used Jibril while Suer was still asleep, and even used words to preemptively prevent something that the guy whose mental age should have become more childish as his body shrank.

"Huh? Bully the weak and fear the strong? Me?!" Jibril, now in her child form, was indeed enraged. "You're the weak one, aren't you! Fatty!"

"What?! You actually have the nerve to say that in this state?! You're so hard! You're really hard!"

Under Araragi Koyomi's bewildered gaze, two of the three suddenly appearing aliens openly started fighting amongst themselves. The busty female elf even floated down and pressed her breasts against the face of the little angel—or rather, her barren breasts—causing the little angel to stumble unprepared.

Isn't this going a bit too far...? Araragi Koyomi pondered silently, but then another new question arose: should he take advantage of the internal strife between the two aliens and sneak away?

And that vampire... what should we do with this beautiful blonde vampire with huge breasts?

Araragi Koyomi secretly glanced at the blonde vampire on the other side, who had lost all four limbs and was now just a torso, hidden behind his bangs. From the moment he appeared, the blonde vampire had been staring intently at the three who had unexpectedly appeared, as if he were making a decision or hesitating.

Even the way she had just been screaming that she didn't want to die, as if she had just had a mental breakdown, had disappeared. At this moment, she looked incredibly calm and profound.

At a sudden moment and in a sudden place, Araragi Koyomi, who has always considered himself an ordinary and unremarkable high school student, suddenly finds himself standing at a crossroads of fate, where a decision that will affect the rest of his life awaits him—so, should he run?

If we turn around and run now, it should still be in time, right?

Chapter Three: Su'er, Awakening Amidst the Flames of War

Perhaps he was bewitched by the legendary abilities of vampires, or perhaps he was swayed by her beauty and felt pity for her, or perhaps it was a momentary impulse, or perhaps he felt an unbearable pity upon hearing her words that she did not want to die... Araragi Koyomi was indeed a boy with a gloomy appearance but a kind heart, and this was indeed something he was capable of doing.

Moreover, regardless of the circumstances, when he stepped toward the heavily injured blond vampire before those three aliens appeared, he had indeed said goodbye to his family and sister in his heart.

If it weren't for these three suddenly appearing aliens, he might have already been drained of all his blood and died, and his sisters would be shedding unbelievable tears when his body is discovered tomorrow morning.

However, this ritualistic sacrifice was interrupted.

Is it too late for me to run away now?

Regardless, Araragi Koyomi was certain that he was just an ordinary human boy with no special abilities who had been unrelated to supernatural events for the past ten years. If he chose to run away, the vampires over there would be more attractive than him, right?

"Don't even think about running away~", temporarily putting aside her mutual attacks with Jibril, Xin Ke looked up at the human boy, her slender eyes slightly narrowed, making her look extremely intimidating, "Come with us."

With a semi-transparent soul body, Xin Ke transcended race and law, and made a statement like a police officer.

Araragi Koyomi and an unknown blonde vampire—arrested on the spot.

--------------

Suer felt like she had slept for a very long time.

I can't pinpoint the exact time, but when I woke up, I felt as if all the bones in my body had been removed. My whole body was so weak that I couldn't even make a simple clenching motion. I had no strength left, and I felt a kind of bone-depleted weakness—I was slightly thirsty.

The thought had barely crossed his mind when a translucent glass was placed next to his face, containing a clear liquid that was swirling inside.

"Want some water?"

Suer didn't know how to describe Xinke at this moment, but the forest elf was indeed like a different person. Well, although it sounded very strange, Suer still insisted that it would be better to describe her as being full of maternal radiance... Gentle, too gentle.

Gently lifting his upper body so that Suer could lean against her, Xinke gently held the water glass to his lips and fed him water little by little. Her control of the pressure was perfect; she would put the glass down just as Suer felt he had taken a sip, patiently waiting for him to swallow before continuing.
