Chapter 113 Tokyo, Chiba, Invasive Species Riot

I went downstairs.

Manami Aragaki led Mirai Kuriyama to the parking lot, took out her car keys, unlocked the car, and got inside.

Kuriyama Mirai bit her lip secretly, but still sat down next to Aragaki Manami, sitting upright with her two small, still fair hands under the dim light resting on her knees covered by soft black stockings.

His posture appeared somewhat restrained.

Manami Aragaki saw this but said nothing, silently starting the rented car.

The atmosphere was rather quiet.

It wasn't until Aragaki Manami drove to a spot where she could see many colorful lights that she began to speak: "I suppose you also learned about the invasive species from Ms. Nakiri, right?"

"……Yes."

"From a human perspective, do you know which is more dangerous: invasive species or youkai?"

"I don't know," Mirai Kuriyama answered honestly.

Manami Aragaki immediately added, "I don't know either."

what?

Kuriyama Mirai, who had expected to be given a science lesson, was immediately stunned and stared blankly at Aragaki Manami, who was driving without looking to the side.

Manami Aragaki slowly said, "The world is vast, and I am not omniscient or omnipotent. I only understand that the existence of invasive species must have a greater impact than the youmu you are concerned about."

"If I had to explain, the more powerful invasive species are as tall as two or three buildings, and their destructive power is usually astonishing. Compared to the Youmu that most humans cannot see, these are the most terrifying."

Some of the more impressive ones are as tall as two or three buildings?!

Kuriyama Mirai's gaze couldn't help but fall on the dazzling, colorful lights, and her body trembled slightly.

She can face a group of terrifying and disgusting demonic dreams.

But if you were to actually fight a group of ferocious beasts, your chances of winning would probably be very low.

After all, no matter how strange or bizarre the power is, it is quite fragile in the face of pure physical destructive power.

"...Are there many invasive species?"

"I know a little, but I'm not very optimistic."

"Mr. Aragaki, have you met him before...?" Mirai Kuriyama couldn't help but ask.

“I have seen it,” said Manami Aragaki. “There are actually quite a few invaded territories not far from the city, but they have all been hidden by powerful barriers, which is why this world looks very peaceful.”

"..."

Kuriyama Mirai fell silent.

Because of Izumi Nase's appearance, she also remembered the "mission" her mother had told her when she was a child.

But she had to admit that what Manami Aragaki said made a lot of sense.

It is said that the extremely terrifying youmu "Beyond the Boundary" has existed peacefully for so many years, while the world is about to fall into some kind of turmoil.

If she were to truly fulfill that "mission"... it might require her sacrifice, and she might not even be able to eliminate such a terrifying demonic dream.

and also……

She didn't really want to die.

The world is vast, and she wants to see it for herself.

Huh?

Feeling lost? It seems your willpower isn't very strong.

Aragaki Manami, who had been observing Kuriyama's future all along, pondered and then said, "I'm actually quite selfish. I think that as long as I don't intentionally do bad things, it's not bad to help other innocent people for free when I have the spare capacity. What do you think of me?"

"...?!"

Kuriyama Mirai was completely stunned!

She immediately started trembling all over, feeling both ashamed and flustered. Her gaze darted away, and her once fair face turned as red as a boiled crab...

My heart was pounding so hard it almost jumped out of my chest!

In an instant, the little brain started working at lightning speed—

"Is Mr. Aragaki confessing his feelings to me? Isn't this a bit too hasty? It's only been a few days..."

"I'm still young. Although I'll be starting high school soon, I'm not ready for it yet, sob..."

"Should I politely decline? Perhaps I'm being too self-centered? Maybe I should stall for time? No! I have a feeling Mr. Aragaki won't let this go so easily!"

Big crisis!

Kuriyama is facing a major crisis in the future!!

Just seconds before Aragaki Manami asked her question, Kuriyama Mirai, whose head was starting to steam, struggled to control a strange feeling in her heart and stammered, "...I think it's great."

Manami Aragaki gave a soft "hmm," and said, "That's what I'm doing right now."

Kuriyama Mirai, whose head was still foggy, immediately became much more alert upon hearing the reply. In just a couple of blinks, she guessed the meaning behind Aragaki Manami's words, and then, considering Aragaki Manami's mention of "training"...

He immediately asked, "Mr. Aragaki... is there any danger in the place you've arrived at?"

Tap, tap tap!

Manami Aragaki, who had parked the car in a secluded spot, released the brake pedal, finally freeing herself from the urge to brake.

He turned to look at Kuriyama Mirai beside him: "Not long ago, it seemed like people around here weren't living very long, so I guessed there was something wrong here."

"...Mr. Aragaki, you can even tell people's lifespans?" Mirai Kuriyama asked, her face showing surprise.

She never doubted that Manami Aragaki was exaggerating, and Manami Aragaki really appreciated this trust.

Just like before, when they could obediently tattle on Nase Izumi.

After all, no one likes a person they don't trust.

and so.

Aragaki Manami is becoming more and more "cute" Kuriyama Mirai.

"Of course it will. Your lifespan was originally very short, but after you met me, it became as long as mine."

"How...how...how is this possible...!"

A very rhythmic, stuttering reply.

Manami Aragaki sighed, the dim light inside the car unable to conceal the shy face of the girl desperately wanting to crawl into the hole.

It's rosy and moist.

Aragaki Manami, who was just about to seize the opportunity to kiss him, showed a slight change in expression. She didn't get close to Kuriyama Mirai, but simply said, "Your seatbelt isn't even unbuckled. It'll be hard for you to escape now."

"..." The girl, who was trying to squeeze to the side to hide something, was silent at first after her thoughts were exposed. Then she turned her face away with a slightly angry expression. "I'm not happy."

Manami Aragaki chuckled, opened the car door, and said as she got out, "Put your unhappiness aside. You'll see what's so great about me later."

Hey?

Kuriyama Mirai blinked, a shy feeling rising within her again.

She quickly unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door, and intended to follow Manami Aragaki, but she froze, only to see—

As a faint, familiar, and alluring stench filled the air, a blood-stained gun appeared in Aragaki Manami's hand.

Manami Aragaki, who was holding the gun in one hand, suddenly jerked and flicked it.

boom!

boom!

A series of thunderous explosions resounded through the night sky!

The sound startled countless people who were deep in sleep, and they were all wondering why it was thundering out of nowhere.

at the same time.

Erina Nakiri, Hisako Shirato, Haruno Yukino, and others, who are quite a distance away from Manami Aragaki and Mirai Kuriyama, are evacuating under the protection of a small team.

They were being pursued by countless bizarre insects and beasts, and even unusual plants...

"This is an invasive species uprising! It looks like it's developing into a large-scale outbreak. Quickly notify the others!" Erina Nakiri hurriedly instructed Hisako Shinoto as she ran.

Similar events have occurred in other countries and regions in recent years, signifying the loss of land and the further reduction of the habitat for human habitation!

This place isn't very big to begin with. If the situation from the previous two times really happens, Tokyo and Chiba will probably be completely finished!

Chapter 114 Erina and Yukino's Sorrow! Goodbye Izumi Nase and...

"Is the problem serious?" Yukino thought to herself, her heart heavy.

She didn't ask.

That's a stupid question; she doesn't need to ask it at all.

She understands the importance of saying as little as possible that would only reveal her intelligence and age.

But I can't help thinking about it.

At this moment, Yukino is being carried away by a female mercenary as she escapes due to exhaustion.

In contrast, her older sister, Yang Nai, was only slightly out of breath and lagged behind her.

Meanwhile, her classmates Erina Nakiri and Hisako Shinoto ran ahead briskly and looked perfectly fine, with tall, muscular armed men leading the way.

Thinking about her current disheveled state, Yukino has already decided to exercise.

She only realized how painful it was to be a burden when faced with a crisis.

Feelings of distress and inner turmoil lingered in the young girl's heart.

Da da da da—

Those providing cover from behind, armed with convenient submachine guns, once again unleashed a barrage of fire on the approaching invasive species.

Some of the tough, burly invading beasts merely froze, then charged forward with even greater speed in a fit of rage.

"Miss Nakiri, run! Leave the rest to us!"
