Taking advantage of Akane Shinjo's moment of respite, Aya Asagiri timidly raised her hand.
"I...I suddenly feel a bit of a stomachache, I need to go to the restroom outside."
Akane Shinjo was busy comparing the two models in her hands, and waved her hand without even looking up.
"Go ahead, don't go too far, I'll pick it out right away!"
As if granted a pardon, Asagiri Aya put down her shopping basket and rushed out of the store as if fleeing.
The air outside the store was a little stuffy, but at least there wasn't that strong plastic smell.
Asagiri Aya walked to a public wooden bench on the side of the street, sat down, and let out a long breath.
So much has happened lately.
Monsters, Zetton, and the black-haired girl who attacked him in Mitakihara Ward.
Everything was far beyond what a minor girl like her could handle.
Only when she's shopping in ordinary stores with Akane Shinjo can she barely recapture the feeling of being an "ordinary middle school girl".
Asagiri Ayaka wondered how long this ordinary high school student life could last.
Across the street, in a dimly lit alleyway, a pair of bloodshot eyes were staring intently at her.
Shizuku Mesana was wrapped in a large gray cloak, half of her body hidden in the shadows.
Since obtaining the King Pandon card, Sarina discovered that the immense power not only instantly healed her broken bones, but also granted her some faint supernatural senses.
She had already planned to take this card and go directly to that bastard Kazama Chiba, burning that man's bones to ashes inch by inch to avenge A-Gang.
But as soon as she stepped out of the hospital and was hit by a cold wind, Shizuku Sarina changed her mind.
It would be too lenient of him to just burn him to death so easily.
She wanted that bastard to experience firsthand the excruciating pain of losing the most important person in his life.
Following this twisted logic, Sarina's gaze naturally settled on Aya Asagiri.
When A-Gang died, Asagiri Aya was right beside him.
Therefore, Sarina was certain that Chiba had killed her to save this girl.
That means that this gloomy woman who is always timid and submissive is Kazama Chiba's "important person".
Thinking of this, Sarina grinned in the shadows, forming a cruel arc.
She wanted to torture that bitch Asagiri Aya to death bit by bit.
Then record her miserable state and send it to Kazama Chiba to enjoy his suffering, and finally send him to hell.
A perfect script.
So, harboring such malice, Sarina searched all the way here.
On the bench, Asagiri Aya had just calmed down a bit and was about to take out her phone to check the time.
Her gaze unconsciously swept across the bustling street, and suddenly she caught sight of a somewhat familiar figure in the gaps between the crowd.
A man in a gray cloak, with a somber expression, stood motionless at the alley entrance, staring at her.
Although most of her face was covered by a hood, Asagiri Aya could not possibly mistake her figure or her slightly resentful stance.
Shizuku Mesa Rina.
The abuser who once led the group to lock her in the toilet at school and stuff thumbtacks into her shoes.
Asagiri Aya subconsciously shrank back against the bench.
But how did she end up here?
Asagiri Aya was filled with doubt.
She had just recently heard gossip from her classmates that Sarina had been seriously injured in a car accident, fracturing her right leg and being admitted to the city's central hospital, where she had been bedridden for several months.
How could he suddenly appear on the streets of Akihabara, more than ten kilometers away from the school, without any warning? And why is he standing so straight?
Just as Asagiri Aya was wondering if she was seeing things and had mistaken someone for someone else, and was about to rub her eyes to see again...
"Long time no see, Asagiri."
A cold, hoarse voice, filled with extreme malice, exploded directly in the depths of Asagiri Aya's mind without warning.
Asagiri Aya shuddered and abruptly covered her ears.
This wasn't something she heard with her ears; it was like someone had shoved ice directly into her skull, the sound traveling through her nerve endings.
"No need to look anymore, it's me talking to you."
The voice continued to echo in his mind, carrying an irrepressible, twisted pleasure.
"Aren't you surprised I can still stand up? Thanks to some bastard, I feel great right now."
Asagiri Aya looked at Sarina diagonally across from her in horror.
The cloaked figure grinned, revealing a wide, white smile.
That pink-haired girl in the store, is she your new friend? You two seem to get along well.
“If you don’t want her to turn into a pile of minced meat due to some ‘accident’ later, you’d better stand up and follow me.”
Asagiri Aya's first thought was to run into the store and grab Shinjo Akane to escape with her.
But Sarina seemed to have seen through her thoughts.
"Just a heads up."
"And if you dare to yell or try to run back into the store to find her..."
Sarina slightly raised her right hand beneath her cloak, a faint crimson flame flickering from her fingertips.
"I guarantee that within seconds, that shop, and your pink-haired friend, will be a pile of charred remains. You can try it if you don't believe me."
Asagiri Aya gripped the hem of her uniform skirt tightly with both hands.
I want to use Zetton's power.
If a fight breaks out here, Akane Shinjo will definitely be affected, and even the entire neighborhood will be dragged into it.
She had witnessed the power of monsters, which was something ordinary people could not withstand.
Sarina lowered her hand, pulled up the hood of her cloak, turned and blended into the crowd, heading towards the secluded abandoned park.
Watching Sarina's retreating figure, Aya Asagiri struggled briefly.
Just a few seconds later, she stood up and followed.
……
Meanwhile, at the "Monster Graveyard" specialty store.
"Boss, please pay for this Jack and those two monsters as well!"
Akane Shinjo slammed the three models heavily on the cashier's counter, took out a few bills from her wallet, and handed them over.
Shinjo Akane excitedly walked out of the store after receiving the model in the plastic bag.
"Asagiri! Sorry to keep you waiting, look what I bought..."
She looked around.
The store entrance was bustling with people, but the public benches along the street were empty.
"Huh?" Akane Shinjo hung the shopping bag on her wrist and tilted her head. "Where did she go? Did she fall into the toilet?"
She wandered around the area a couple more times, but still couldn't find the black-haired girl who always kept her head down.
"Where did you go?"
Akane Shinjo scratched her head, puzzled.
"That girl is really something. I was planning to have her take this Ultraman Jack to the president as a gift."
Chapter 216 King Pandon vs. Zetton
Far from the bustling commercial district surrounded by neon lights and anime billboards, the surrounding buildings gradually become dilapidated and small.
The streetlights were spaced further apart, and the light became dim and flickering.
Asagiri Aya, dragging her somewhat weak legs, maintained a distance of seven or eight meters from the figure in the gray cloak in front of her.
She had no idea where she was; all she could smell was the unpleasant odor of rotting leaves and rusty metal in the air.
The figure in front finally stopped.
This is a community park that has been abandoned for who knows how long.
There was a high wall all around, and you couldn't see a single person.
Shizuku Mereina turned around.
She slowly pulled down the hood of her gray cloak, revealing a face that was pale and sunken due to prolonged lack of sunlight.
"Isn't this a nice place?"
"Quiet, undisturbed, this is the burial place I have carefully chosen for you."
Asagiri Aya stopped beside the slide, her hands tightly gripping the hem of her uniform.
What exactly do you want?
"If it's about money, I still have some in my wallet..."
"money?"
Sarina made a strange sound in her throat, as if she had heard an extremely funny joke.
She bent down and, through the cloak, vigorously stroked her right leg.
"Do you know what it feels like when a bone is broken into several pieces and steel nails are forced through it?"
Sarina raised her head, her bloodshot eyes fixed on Asagiri Aya, and growled through gritted teeth.
"It hurts! I can't sleep at night because of the pain! It's all because of you and that bastard Kazama Chiba! I will never forget the shame and pain you inflicted on me!"
Asagiri Aya was completely confused.
