A supporting character in a romance anime? I became a god using a rat talisman.

Good dogs don't block the way

Immediately afterwards, it transformed into a blue lightning bolt and chased after the direction in which the sports car had disappeared.

"..."

Watching the car and the beast disappear into the darkness one after the other.

Yui Yuigahama was disheveled in the wind.

She stood there, holding the trembling Sabre, feeling her entire worldview crumbling.

This must be an absurd nightmare, right?

Otherwise, how could I have seen giant wolves staging a live-action version of "Fast and Furious" in the park?

This is Shenshui City! A modern metropolis that values ​​science and the rule of law! Why has it suddenly turned into a tokusatsu (special effects) film set?!

"Could it be... am I still dreaming?"

Yui pinched her cheek hard.

"It hurts! This isn't a dream!"

In the distance, the faint whistling sound of tires screeching against the ground and the sound of explosions like thunder could be heard.

That sound made her heart pound wildly.

Instinct told her she should turn around and run away immediately, go home and hide under the covers.

But another damned curiosity was scratching at her heart like cat claws.

That guy would die if he got caught, right?

And what exactly is that monster?

"I'll just take a look... just a look from afar..."

Yui swallowed hard, hugged Sabre tightly, and like a thief caught in the act, moved in that direction as if possessed.

……

On the other side, Kazama Chiba had no idea how much psychological trauma she had just caused to a certain girl with a bun hairstyle.

Seeing that he couldn't shake off the lightning-fast beast, he decisively slammed on the brakes.

"squeak--!!"

The tires left two long black tracks on the empty square, and the Aston Martin executed a beautiful drift, coming to a smooth stop in front of the fountain.

With its open view and unobstructed view, this is the perfect spot to set a trap.

According to his observation, this thing is not very intelligent, so don't confront it head-on.

As Qianyu unbuckled her seatbelt, she quickly pulled the "Shadow" card from her pocket.

The card instantly disintegrated at his fingertips, and the black shadow, as if alive, spread along the ground, silently covering the entire square.

Immediately afterwards, Qianyu threw out the "Illusion" card and the "Mirror" card.

The air distorted slightly.

Several phantoms identical to Qianyu appeared in different corners of the square.

Meanwhile, his true form, carrying the still-dazed Xiao Ke, quickly leaped up a huge oak tree nearby.

Sure enough, the moment he concealed himself...

The thunder beast charged into the plaza almost instantly.

Its underdeveloped brain obviously couldn't distinguish which one was the real body. Seeing the several prey that suddenly appeared in front of it, it roared excitedly, transformed into a blue lightning bolt, and pounced on one of the clones.

"boom!"

With a swipe of its claws, the clone shattered like a bubble.

The Thunder Beast paused for a moment, then pounced on the other one with even greater ferocity.

It began to pounce and bite wildly in the square, throwing electric shocks. Every attack hit the air, and every roar only brought more teasing.

"Now! Chiyu! Take it down while it's tired!"

Xiao Ke looked at the panting Thunder Beast and excitedly waved her little fists.

Qianyu, however, remained inactive.

"Wait a little longer. When it has used up most of its magic, it's time to close the net."

Just wait a little longer, until it shows signs of fatigue, and the shadow lurking underground will suddenly strike and bind it completely.

Chapter 37 Yui Yuigahama

However, things did not develop as Chiba had predicted.

The frustration of repeatedly missing its target caused the Thunder Beast, which had been enhanced by Kaguya, to completely lose its patience.

It no longer chases after those illusory shadows, but stands in the center of the square, roaring to the sky.

"Zizzizi-!!"

A terrifying electric current surged wildly across its blue fur, instantly ionizing the surrounding air and producing a teeth-grinding crackling sound.

Qianyu's expression changed.

"Holy crap! It's about to unleash an area-of-effect attack!"

The next moment, countless thick bolts of lightning radiated outwards from the Thunder Beast, exploding wildly in all directions.

The "Illusion" and "Mirror" cards, which had just been enticing the monster, were instantly reverted to their original forms upon contact with the electric current and fell to the ground.

The overflowing arcs of electricity did not stop; they were like wildly dancing silver snakes, recklessly licking everything around them.

But that's not the worst of it.

At the edge of Qianyu's field of vision, she saw the girl walking her dog whom she had just seen by the roadside, who had somehow followed her over.

At that moment, Yui Yuigahama was standing behind the bushes, peeking out at them while holding her dog.

Curiosity killed the cat, and it almost killed this little dumpling too.

A bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket veered off course and struck straight at Yui Yuigahama's location.

At the critical moment.

Kazama Chiba casually blew her away with the wind card.

Just after Yui was blown aside by the wind

Lightning struck the spot where she had just stood, sending dirt flying and leaving a charred mess.

Yui Yuigahama, still shaken, had tears welling in her eyes.

For a brief moment, she really thought she was going to die.

"I...I'm still alive?"

At that moment, the Aston Martin parked in the center of the square finally stirred.

Hiratsuka Shizuka, who had been in a coma, was awakened by the deafening thunder.

"Ugh... my head hurts so much..."

She rubbed her temples groggily, sat up from the passenger seat, and mumbled incoherently in her sleep.

"Ugh...where did this come from...so noisy...don't people want to get any sleep...?"

She subconsciously looked up and peered out through the windshield.

Then she sobered up instantly.

Less than ten meters from the front of the car, a gigantic beast, its body crackling with blue lightning and its face contorted as if it had crawled out of hell, was staring intently at them.

"what?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka blinked.

"Is this...is this a model from some theme park? It's quite realistic..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Thunder Beast had clearly noticed her as well.

Then a blinding bolt of lightning rapidly condensed deep in his throat.

This car, along with everyone inside, is to be blasted to smithereens.

The blue light deep in that throat was so bright it was impossible to look directly at it; it was definitely not the light that a model could emit.

In that instant, all the alcohol evaporated as cold sweat from Hiratsuka Shizuka's pores.

"Am I still dreaming? Right? This must be a dream!"

She tried to scream, but her throat felt like it was being choked and she couldn't make a sound.

Kazama Chiba knew inwardly that something was wrong.

I spent so much time setting up the traps that I forgot to bring out Hiratsuka Shizuka.

A split second before the Thunder Beast unleashed its lightning, he dodged and blocked the car.

"Kazama...?"

Inside the car, Hiratsuka Shizuka stared wide-eyed in astonishment at the thin figure blocking her way, her mind going completely blank.

Were they her students?

What is he doing? Is he going to his death?!

Faced with the destructive lightning that roared towards them, Kazama Chiba did not choose to withstand it head-on, but instead slammed her right hand into the ground.

"Shadow! Devour it!"

With a low shout.

What was originally just a black shadow spread on the ground suddenly burst forth as if it had come to life.

They were no longer flat shadows, but transformed into a pitch-black tide, like a giant predatory net, instantly blocking the path of the lightning.
