Sensing that a large group of koalas with fruits on their backs were about to catch up with the team, some of the people brought by Erina Nakiri spoke up.
Erina Nakiri's pupils contracted sharply, her movements froze, and her running speed suddenly slowed down considerably.
Seeing this, Hisako Niito immediately slowed down and raised her voice: "Erina-san!"
Erina Nakiri's violet eyes flickered, as if some watery light was flowing through them.
She immediately quickened her pace and ran forward!
"..."
Yukino bit her lip, the heaviness in her heart, along with the mental blow that felt like a sledgehammer, made her feel even more pained than when she was isolated in junior high school.
She dared not look at what was happening behind her.
All that could be heard were the angry roars of humans and the howls of beasts, mingled together, and then gradually faded away...
Hinano, who was a step behind, glanced at her younger sister Yukino's expression, took a deep breath, and continued to run forward cautiously.
Yang Nai was also surrounded by a group of people, each of them running while cautiously observing their surroundings.
At this point, danger is not only behind us, but also in front of us, in the corners... all sorts of dangers could occur!
They, who should have been proceeding cautiously, had no time for apprehension and preparation.
run!
The only option was to run!
Otherwise, if the fantastical beasts deep within the invaded territory were to riot, they wouldn't even have a chance to escape!
"Someone's coming to meet us!" someone in front suddenly shouted.
Just as he finished speaking, a group of burly men in camouflage uniforms, carrying knives and guns and exuding a fierce aura, walked over, accompanied by several men, women, and children dressed in different styles of clothing...
"Seven stars in a row, lock the Yin!" a cold shout rang out.
In an instant, a faintly glowing, semi-transparent light shield enveloped Erina Nakiri, Haruno, and the other fleeing individuals.
A person walking slightly ahead of Erina Nakiri shouted, "This is a spell that can protect those inside the light barrier from harm, but it's for a limited time!!"
As soon as the words were spoken, those who had been focusing their attention elsewhere immediately sped up and ran even faster toward the entrance.
Roar roar roar—
One by one, lizards with wings, resembling Western dragons, fell from the sky.
As Yukino was being carried, she looked up and saw pterosaurs, each at least four or five meters long, descending, their bodies obscuring the moonlight... not just one, but more than a dozen!
It was only then that she truly realized just how dangerous the world was.
The facade of peace shattered completely in her eyes!
"Fire Net!"
Among the group of people with superpowers who appeared, four were dressed identically—two men and two women—and they all spoke at the same time.
A raging fire appeared out of nowhere, then transformed into a fishing net-like shape as it flew upwards to meet the pterosaur that was about to land and attack the group.
hiss hiss hiss hiss~~
The pungent smell of burning meat filled the air, and the pterosaurs howled in pain as they turned back the way they came.
Erina Nakiri, Hisako Shinoto, Yukino Haruno, and the others also took the opportunity to speed up and arrive at the entrance. There, they saw a group of people holding heavy weapons and cold weapons standing on one side, ready to fight.
"Protect the skies above! We absolutely cannot let those flying invading scum escape the barrier!"
"Yes!"
The night sky was not still; flickering lights appeared intermittently...
The group of people who had just come out were all deeply shocked by the sight.
"Oh no! A bird that looks like a bee has broken through the barrier!!"
"Damn it! Stop them!"
"Notify the outer defenses! Too late? No, we have to hurry—"
The surrounding area was a complete mess.
Shouts, commands, and responses rang out simultaneously in this small area near the entrance.
chaos!
So chaotic was that even Yang Nai, who nominally controlled the area, didn't know what to do and could only watch helplessly, asking other people who weren't too busy for information.
Meanwhile, Erina Nakiri and Hisako Shinto headed to another area not far away, where there were also invasive species and it was also in the midst of a riot. Therefore, they could only bid farewell to Haruno and leave in a hurry.
As for Yukino?
She wasn't sent back by Yang Nai because an invasive species broke through the barrier and flew out. Leaving now might not be much safer than staying here.
The perspective shifts to the other side.
Aragaki Manami, who had initially caused a commotion in the area where the invasive species had rioted, stood quietly.
Kuriyama Mirai stood gracefully not far from him.
Her pale golden eyes occasionally swept across various places.
He kept glancing at Aragaki Manami's blood-stained gun.
Suddenly, Manami Aragaki leaped up, the gun she swung whistling through the air like a whip churning the air, or the rumbling of a giant beast's stomach...
Just a few seconds later, huge objects began to fall from the sky.
bang bang bang...
Kuriyama Mirai stared with her mouth slightly open at the monstrous insect that was about four meters long and resembled both a bee and a bird.
"This is an invasive species..."
Even one of them entering the city could cause a huge uproar, let alone ten.
tread.
Manami Aragaki landed lightly, casually placing ten "Honeybee Dragons" within the secret barrier.
【Honeybee Dragon】: A bee-like dragon that dwells in a hive in the sky.
"Not warlike, bee stings can instantly destroy body tissues, and the honey produced is unlike any other, possessing extremely high nutritional value and ultimate sweetness."
A very good tool bug.
While protecting the area's security, they also hunt for some food.
As if sensing something, Aragaki Manami looked at two figures rushing over, a man and a woman.
One of them looked very familiar, because I had only met him recently; his name was Izumi Sei.
The other was a burly, masculine man wearing a suit and sporting a buzz cut.
Aragaki Manami looked at them, then suddenly slapped his palm down, the sound like thunder, and the ground shook—a few seconds later, several large fish with crab claws flew out of the nearby sea and landed inside the secret barrier.
immediately.
Aragaki Manami nodded and looked at the two newcomers: "My name is Aragaki Manami."
She then pointed to Kuriyama Mirai, who was standing motionless beside her: "Her name is Kuriyama Mirai."
Chapter 115: A Toriko version of Food Wars! The arrival of Yukino Haruno.
Manami Aragaki's initiative to introduce herself immediately eased the slightly tense atmosphere.
The man and woman who came also took the initiative to introduce themselves.
Izumi Nase, who knew Manami Aragaki, said, "Izumi Nase is the head of the Nase family of Nara."
The burly man in the suit said, "Totsuki board member, Dojima Gin."
Dojima Gin?
Manami Aragaki was slightly surprised as she sensed the blood energy emanating from the man before her.
He thought to himself, if things continue like this, it might really turn into a "Toriko" version of "Food Wars!".
But this development model seems to be quite normal.
If there were such delicious foods that could make people fall in love with them and evolve life to an incredible degree, it would be strange if things were still the same as before.
“This place is right in the heart of Tokyo and Chiba, and it’s also the only way to get to residential areas. If you don’t mind, I’m willing to stay here and act as the first line of defense.”
Manami Aragaki didn't exchange many pleasantries and went straight to stating her main purpose.
Izumi Nase frowned upon hearing his words: "Aragaki-kun, this place is extremely important. If even one person is lost, it will cause great turmoil in the city."
"I may have been a bit arrogant, but having prepared for several hours in advance, I might be a decent defensive line, much more effective than those who came at the last minute. Of course, if you think others are more reliable than me, I'll have to leave now."
"How many hours earlier? What does Aragaki-kun mean by this...?"
"Just as you guessed, I had previously used divination-like methods to obtain some information, but I doubt anyone would believe my words, so I had to prepare myself first," Aragaki Manami explained slowly.
Nase Izumi remained silent and did not speak again.
She certainly wouldn't want to believe other people's fortune-telling either, so she had no right to say anything bad about Aragaki Manami at this moment.
Dojima Gin, who had been silently listening to their conversation, finally spoke up.
He asked, "May I ask, Mr. Aragaki, how confident are you?"
Manami Aragaki chuckled, "I can't make any guarantees. I only came here because I had nothing else to do. As for how long I can hold out? At least until my life is not seriously threatened."
Ugly words are far more unpleasant to hear than pretty words.
If possible, it's best not to say it.
However, when it comes to critical moments, it's still necessary to handle things according to the situation.
Manami Aragaki didn't want to be burned by a promise; at least speaking frankly would give people some mental preparation.
Dojima Gin's expression didn't change after hearing this, while Nase Izumi's expression changed slightly, but it was hard to tell what it was. If he had any objections, there was no need to.
After all, other people's lives are lives, and so is one's own life; Aragaki Manami has no obligation to take responsibility for them.
Because he was eating his own rice.
