Ministry Action Records

The two men seized the opportunity and used their swords to smash the bone spur on the ghoul's shoulder. This thing had caused them so much pain just now.

The one-eyed ghoul, who had suffered consecutive severe blows in a short period of time, struggled to stand up, but how could he succeed? With his prey parts damaged and falling to the ground, this basically meant the end of the hunt.

Hikigaya swung the heavy crossbow, ran towards the ghoul, jumped high, and used the momentum to smash the crossbow into the ghoul's head, completely shattering the four symmetrical horns.

Hikigaya, who had landed, loaded a slashing bullet into his heavy crossbow and fired it at the one-eyed creature. Blood spurted out, but the bullet could not penetrate the powerful ghoul and got stuck in its head.

The bullet exploded, and the fragments inside the bullet rotated and cut the ghoul's head, and the final result was that the head was completely cut off.

The one-eyed ghoul's huge body fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. It was impossible for it to stand up again.

Destroying all parts of the body is the most dignified way for a hunter to give his prey a death.

14. Do not follow ignorance, seek true knowledge

The one-eyed ghoul had fallen, and there were no other enemies on the rooftop. Hikigaya looked at the one-eyed ghoul's body and did not find anything valuable that could be used as material.

"Forget it, let's just leave it at that." Hikigaya was not too frustrated. After all, when he killed some small monsters during the hunting process, he was too lazy to cut the materials. The guy in front of him was not someone strong enough to make him excited.

"We are both investigators from CCG. Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Hero. If it weren't for you, we would have died here, hahaha!"

The two uncles who had fought the ghouls before came over, carrying big swords on their shoulders and with neat flat heads. After the battle, they laughed heartily. All these made the two men look very heroic, which really matched the weapons they chose.

"You're welcome. It's just a small favor." Speaking through the mask changed Hikigaya's voice. To others, it sounded like an old man with a hoarse voice speaking.

"We have killed the one-eyed ghoul. Tonight's campaign against the ghoul organization Bronze Tree can be considered a success. So, Mr. Hero, are you interested in joining us for a drink to celebrate?"

"No, I have other things to do. You guys celebrate on your own." Hikigaya waved his hand to reject the invitation of the two investigators.

"That's a shame. My name is Kuroiwa, and I'm a special investigator of CCG. We'd like to get together again if there's a chance."

The two men from Black Rock did not stay for too long, as they were still needed in this battle.

"By the way, I remembered I still have a business card. If you want to drink, you can call me. Bye." Hikigaya Hachiman raised his hand and caught the business card that Kuroiwa flew over.

They were two very outgoing old men. Like Trevor, Hikigaya in the armor also laughed.

"My name is Hikigaya Hachiman, and I'm a hero who does this out of interest."

Let's just make friends. With this in mind, Hikigaya told the two uncles his name. Hikigaya himself admired such bold guys. Maybe one day, the three of them would have a chance to drink and eat skewers together. They would be very surprised to see Hikigaya look like a high school student. By the way, Hikigaya is a high school student, so theoretically he can't drink.

After walking around the edge of the rooftop for most of the time, Hikigaya saw a lightsaber waving in the darkness, and Yukinoshita was like a traffic policeman...

After checking the distance, Hikigaya took a few steps back, leaving some running distance, and finally landed successfully near Yukinoshita. This kid... must have an advantage in playing the real-life PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

"Have you finished all that?" Yukinoshita asked Hikigaya while holding a piece of paper.

"What are you doing? You ticked the names... Is the teacher calling the roll in class? I'm much more professional. I crossed out the names with a line." Hikigaya also took out a piece of paper. Just like Yukinoshita, there were a bunch of names written on it. It was obviously a list. The two of them checked each other's records, but Yukinoshita was proofreading carefully while Hikigaya was busy complaining...

"That's not the point at all... Well... basically everything has been done, and the rest will be more or less taken care of by the investigators. The 'Bronze Tree' is already dead."

"I also killed a one-eyed guy on the rooftop. I don't know which one it was on the list. Maybe it wasn't on the list at all."

"Um, the one-eyed one is the one-eyed ghoul?" Amon Kotaro, who was standing behind Yukinoshita, interrupted the topic. Hikigaya then noticed that there was another person, whose presence was a little low...

"Who is this?" Hikigaya looked at Yukinoshita.

"I'm Kotaro Amon, an investigator from CCG." Amon looked at the mass-produced soldier and introduced himself politely.

"A guy who believes in the force, a good person." Yukinoshita summarized it briefly.

"Should I say you are in character or are you just messing around..." For someone who plays the role of a dark Sith Lord, Hikigaya felt that the line just now was indeed a bit subtle...

"As for the one-eyed ghoul, I know a little bit of information."

"One-eyed ghouls are supposed to be powerful and rare, but they have appeared frequently recently. However, in the battles we found that the one-eyed ghouls that appeared were not as powerful as rumored, and most of them were irrational, like defective products. CCG believed that an organization was trying to mass-produce one-eyed ghouls. After investigation, it was found that it was related to the 'Bronze Tree', so today's action was taken."

"Defective goods? The one on the rooftop looked crazy and irrational, but it fought back and forth with two special-grade investigators. Special-grade is considered a relatively strong combat force in your place, right?"

"Really? It seems that the ghouls produced by that organization are becoming more and more sophisticated. This is not good news." After hearing Hikigaya's words, Amon's expression became serious.

"Well, don't worry so much. In times of crisis, there will always be someone who stands up and justice will triumph over evil." Hikigaya said something that was very consistent with his status as a hero, which was considered to encourage Amon.

Yukinoshita seemed to be thinking about something, and then took out a slightly old metal handle.

"Amon, I'll give this to you." Yukinoshita threw the metal handle to Amon.

"Could this be?!" Yamen, who took the handle, seemed a little excited, and his whole body was shaking slightly.

"This is the Luminous Sword I used a long time ago. Although it has become a little dim, it is still a good weapon."

The mass-produced soldiers nodded frequently, watching the Sith Lord guide a soon-to-be-born Jedi.

"Master, do I have to rely on my own will to make the lightsaber shine again?" Yamen excitedly called out to his master.

"Although I don't want to shatter your romantic fantasy, the lightsaber is a product of technology. Remember to charge it every day. As for rejuvenating the lightsaber, you have to find a professional to repair it yourself..." When saying this, Yukinoshita couldn't help feeling a little guilty. She could be said to have ended someone else's dream. She hoped that the child would not be too embarrassed.

"Is that so...Is that so..." Yamen was a little embarrassed...

Hikigaya wanted to laugh, but as strong as he was, he managed to stop himself. Others could only see a white armor shaking strangely.

"Then today..." Yukinoshita was about to say goodbye when she suddenly remembered what Shirou Emiya said, that the internal situation of CCG was not that simple.

"By the way, Yamen, there is one more thing you need to know. You know the Jedi creed, right?"

"Know!"

"Don't follow ignorance, seek true knowledge. You should pay special attention to this point, CCG, maybe it's not as pure as you think."

"Then let's say goodbye today, Yamen. I hope you can continue to stick to yourself."

Looking at the two figures walking away, Yamen thought about what his master had reminded him of.

"Do not follow ignorance, seek true knowledge..."

15. Two people become heroes

After saying goodbye to Amon, Yukinoshita and Hikigaya prepared to go back to their respective homes, but they still had some distance to go together.

Yukinoshita didn't say anything along the way, but Hikigaya could feel the strange atmosphere even through his armor.

"What's wrong, Yukinoshita?" After hesitating for a while, Hikigaya still felt that he should say something.

"Ah... Hikigaya..." Yukinoshita seemed to have just come back to her senses.

"I'm sorry... I just don't feel it's real." Yukinoshita's tone was very confused.

"Want to say it, if you don't mind?"

"Is it okay...Okay." Hikigaya heard Yukinoshita take a deep breath.

"You know, Hikigaya, those things... I mean ghouls have always troubled me. In fact, ever since I was rescued that day, I've often had nightmares. I was alone in a dark and narrow alley, and their scarlet eyes were everywhere. They looked at me as if I were food. Oh my god, I always dreamed of them biting at me with their mouths full of sharp teeth. The kind... I don't know how they stuffed their long sharp teeth into their mouths. I can only run and run, but I can't get rid of them... Did I really kill them? These monsters in the nightmare were killed by me with a lightsaber, shuttle by shuttle like cutting vegetables. I felt like a Jedi Knight, just like a dream..."

"Hahaha." Hikigaya laughed out loud after hearing what Yukinoshita said. It wasn't something he needed to worry about.

The white mass-produced soldier hugged the Dark Sith Lord.

"Of course I'm not dreaming. You are already a true Jedi Knight, Yukinoshita."

"Really... Thank you, Hikigaya."

A caring hug, as a form of encouragement, Hikigaya hugged Yukinoshita gently and quickly let go.

Really, do you think of yourself as a child..., but I am indeed like a little girl complaining to her father, and it is nothing to just hug and then let go immediately..., by the way, why do I think so much...

"Hey, Yukinoshita." Feeling the strength coming from her shoulder, Yukinoshita broke free from her confused thoughts.

"What is it, Hikigaya?"

"There's no need to rush back. How about we go eat something? It's my treat."

"Now?!"

"I don't think there's any ambiguity in what I just said..."

"Are we going to eat dressed like this?" Yukinoshita pointed at her and Hikigaya's armor of opposite colors.

"What's the matter? Just take off your helmet and gauntlets and you can eat." Hikigaya waved his hand.

"What I want to talk about is not how to eat..." Yukinoshita was frowning at Hikigaya's answer.

"Cosplay is not something rare. It's very normal in Japan. No one would find it strange."

"I think you may have a slight misunderstanding of the meaning of the word 'normal'." Yukinoshita used two fingers to briefly describe the concept of a little distance.

"Let's go eat there. I just took a quick look." After saying that, Hikigaya walked towards a stall on his own.

"Really? You don't listen to me at all..." Yukinoshita followed.

"Welcome..." The two guests in strange clothes frightened the store manager a little. Then the boss looked at them unkindly and reached his hand quietly below. There seemed to be something hidden in the place where the guests could not see...

"Is there anything delicious, boss?" While saying this, Hikigaya and Yukinoshita also took off their helmets.

"You know how to have fun, young man." Seeing that they were just two ordinary boys and girls, the manager put his hands back on the counter and revealed a knowledgeable smile.

This is an ordinary small restaurant with a large open operation room in the center. The stove and kitchen utensils are very clean. The manager stands in the rectangular operation room, and the guests sit around it.

"The menu only has the pork miso soup set, but if you want something else, I can make it for you if I can."

"That's a really great restaurant." The layout of the restaurant, the confident words of the manager, and the quiet and warm atmosphere all made Hikigaya feel that he had discovered a pleasant surprise.

"What do you want to eat, Yukinoshita?" Hikigaya turned and asked Yukinoshita.

"Whatever... I'll just order the same as you." After taking off her helmet, Yukinoshita's hair was very messy and she was tidying it up.

"This is such a tough choice..." It's hard to choose even with a menu, let alone without one. Hikigaya is very confused about what to eat for midnight snack.

Hikigaya suddenly remembered the anime series he watched at home and made a decision.

"Two servings of ramen please, boss."

"By the way, why do you suddenly feel like eating?" After fixing her hair, Yukinoshita started a conversation with Hikigaya.

"People always want to eat something at night, and some things are time to celebrate."

"whats the matter?"
