Crossover Anime: This is not pure love at all

A gentle breeze rustled through the woods, making the leaves whisper softly.

Looking at Yukino Yukinoshita, whose eyes held a stubbornness, Kuroe Minoru remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Seriously."

Kuroe looked directly into her eyes, his tone calm and firm.

"Although the dream of 'changing the world' does sound somewhat unrealistic."

Upon hearing the first part of the sentence, Yukino's eyes dimmed slightly, but Kuroe's next words made her heart start beating again.

"However, I don't dislike people who give their all for such ideals."

"I've said it before, as long as it stems from your inner sense of justice, it deserves respect. If your dream encounters such obstacles in its path, I will step in."

Upon hearing this affirmative answer, Yukino's tense shoulders finally relaxed.

A faint smile bloomed on her usually cool and aloof face, like the first melting of ice and snow.

"Thank you... Kuroe-kun."

Yukino said softly, then her expression became serious again.

"The reason I called you here today is that I have another matter I'd like to ask for your help with."

"Help?" Kuroe Minoru was taken aback. "What kind of help?"

Yukino didn't answer immediately. Instead, she took out a neatly arranged stack of printed materials from her bag and handed them to Kuroe Minoru.

"What's this?" Kuroe Minoru took the documents and looked down at them.

"These are the results of my investigation last night."

"I carefully observed that spider monster in the abandoned warehouse yesterday."

"It's different from the green bug I first saw you kill."

Yukino extended her slender finger and pointed to a crime scene photo in the document. The photo showed corpses scattered all over the ground.

Without exception, all of these corpses were found to have been smashed to death, a truly gruesome sight.

"That green worm was more like a pure monster."

"But yesterday's Spider-Man had a belt-like metal structure around its waist, and it could talk, although in a language I couldn't understand."

"Most importantly, I asked some people with 'connections' to access the files of several unsolved cases that have recently occurred in Chiba City and the surrounding area."

Yukino's eyes turned cold.

"I discovered that most of these people died in rather bizarre and varied ways."

"They can be roughly divided into the following categories."

"Those who were thrown from great heights and fell to their deaths, those who were hacked to pieces, those who were poisoned by unknown toxins..."

After speaking, Yukinoshita looked intently at Kuroe Minoru, awaiting his reply.

Upon hearing this, Kuroe Minoru appeared outwardly calm, but inwardly he was in turmoil.

Yukino was able to guess that the Grongi had a fixed method for killing people?!

It's worth noting that in Kamen Rider Kuuga, it took the Metropolitan Police Department's Unidentified Life Form Countermeasures Unit a long time to figure out the pattern.

Yukino actually deduced this based on just two encounters and a few files?!

"..."

"...You are very smart."

Hei Jiang put on a serious expression and nodded slightly.

"really."

Upon hearing Kuroe Minoru's affirmation, Yukino's lips curled into a smile once again.

Kuroe Minoru continued, "..."

"Their name is Gurongi."

"They are an ancient warrior race whose blood structure is very similar to that of humans, but they are brutal and have a strong fighting instinct, with a bad habit of hunting down humans from other tribes."

"And your guess was right, they are indeed playing a murder game called 'Kikiru'."

"The Murder Game..."

Yukino's pupils contracted slightly, and her voice unconsciously carried a hint of barely concealed anger.

"Just for the sake of a game, are human lives being used as a counting tool?"

"That's right."

Kuroe Minoru nodded. Yukino Yukinoshita was very smart, and he felt there was no problem in revealing these things to her.

"The Gurongi's belt is the source of their power."

"They will kill a certain number of humans within a specified time and using specific methods, based on their class."

"If the time limit is exceeded or the quantity is insufficient, the mechanism in their belts will detonate, blowing them up to death."

"So once they start 'Kikiru,' they absolutely won't stop."

Upon hearing this cruel truth, Yukino felt a chill run down her spine.

But soon, her sharp mind once again caught the blind spot.

"etc……"

Yukino raised her head, her gaze fixed intently on Kuroe Minoru.

"You just said their name is 'Grongi.' Then... what about that green worm we first met? Was it one of the other ancient races you mentioned?"

Yukinoshita was referring to the "other tribes" that Kuroe Minoru had just mentioned.

If we're talking about humans, then Kuroe Minoru could be considered human, but he isn't.

"No, those are called alien insects."

After briefly recalling the setting of Kabuto, Kuroe Minoru continued speaking.

"That's called a 'strange insect'."

"That wasn't a native creature, but came from a meteorite carrying alien insect eggs."

"They not only kill people, but also mimic the appearance of their victims, copying their memories and lurking in human society."

"Besides the Grongi and the Zerg, there is another type of monster that is awakened after a human dies, called the Orphnoch."

"It's also the monster I've fought the most. Besides that, I don't know if there are any other monsters here."

Yukino was completely stunned.

Zerg, Gurongi, Orphnoch...

It turns out that the world is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface.

And this boy in front of me...

Yukino stared intently at Kuroe Minoru.

He was just a teenager, just like me.

He could have enjoyed a carefree youth like Hayato Hayama, sweating under the sun and chatting and laughing with his friends.

However, he chose to don armor and, in the darkness where no one knew him, face these terrifying monsters alone, engaging in a life-or-death struggle at any moment.

There was no applause, no flowers, and not even their identities could be revealed.

"you……"

Yukino's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes involuntarily flushed red.

"Have you been fighting these monsters alone all this time?"

Looking at Yukino's shocked and distressed eyes, Kuroe Minoru felt a little guilty.

He only started fighting monsters in the last few days, and fighting monsters also gives him Justice Points for a chance to win extra lives.

But with the support of his "normal calm," his expression remained as steady as a rock, and he simply nodded slightly.

"Someone has to do it."

"If we leave them unchecked, countless innocent people will die. Since I have this power, this is what I should do."

This was indeed what he truly thought; that was what he really believed.

If the system were to disappear one day, but he still possessed the Faiz system, he would still transform without hesitation and uphold justice.

Upon hearing this, Yukino's heart skipped a beat.

Her lifelong dream has been to change this hypocritical world and correct the weakness of people.

She once thought her ideals were lofty enough, and even endured loneliness and exclusion for them.

But now, in front of Kuroe Minoru, she suddenly felt how insignificant her own troubles were.
