Ministry Action Records

On normal weekends, Hikigaya is not seen in the wild. He chooses to stay at home and spend his holidays lazily. No trainer has ever been able to capture Hikigaya on weekends...

There is no shortage of benches for customers to rest in large shopping malls, and on weekends, when the malls are crowded with people, oh, what did I find? A wild Hikigaya Hachiman, unbelievable.

Hikigaya, who was staying at home, received a call from Yukinoshita.

"Hikigaya-kun, are you free now? Can you come out? I have something to talk to you about."

"sure, no problem."

"Then let's meet at the large shopping mall near your home."

"Ah."

Hikigaya sat on the bench, looking at the sky calmly.

This is the first time I've been asked out by a girl to meet at a mall on the weekend. But since it's Yukinoshita, it must be something really important... But... maybe... she just wants me to go shopping together... or something like that?! After all, I'm probably the only friend that girl has, and meeting friends on the weekend isn't a big deal, so just because she's a pretty girl or something...

"Hikigaya-kun."

Hikigaya instantly calmed himself down and looked in the direction of the voice.

Her hair was tied in two strands, she was wearing a light, cream-colored cardigan that was three-quarter length, and a neat, light dress with a ribbon tied below her chest. The simple sandals on her bare feet made her look very cool, and the overall impression she gave was more fragile than usual.

A twin-tailed version of Yukinoshita! Hikigaya was surprised by this image.

"Good morning, Yukinoshita. Um, you're dressed very cutely today." After saying that, Hikigaya turned his head to the side and scratched it with his hand.

"Oh...thank you..." Yukinoshita lowered her head slightly as if she wanted to take a look at her clothes today.

Ah, what kind of scene and atmosphere is this for a couple's first date? The calm sea suddenly turned into a huge wave, which was very suitable for Hikigaya's current mood.

"You came to me today to talk about something." Hikigaya was the first to break the silence.

Yukinoshita came to her senses and returned to her usual serious self.

Actually, you can’t be serious with your twin ponytails, Hikigaya muttered to himself...

"Ah, yes... Remember what I said about my first encounter with my master? I have some idea of ​​what attacked me back then, and I wanted to talk to you about it."

"Let's find a place to sit down and talk."

"Well, yes."

"By the way, Kato Megumi asked me to say thank you on her behalf. Amai-san has stopped harassing her."

"Oh, that's nice."

"By the way, what did you two do in the classroom?"

"It wasn't long but it was long enough for me to teach him a lesson."

"Higurashi's close combat technique is both a martial art and a philosophy. In addition to its basic ability to strengthen the body, it also has the power to make people repent. After my instruction, Amaki-san has begun to have the initial intention to warn others."

"Hippori?" Yukinoshita was curious about this word she had never heard of.

"It's my training place. I learned all my skills there. Although I have a mentor, I can say that my master is the entire Higurashi. Every person there, the atmosphere there, has made me who I am today."

Hikigaya looked around and spotted a cafe across the street.

"Let's go to that cafe." Hikigaya raised his hand and pointed in the direction.

"Then let's go."

"Antique..." After looking at the sign, Hikigaya and Yukinoshita pushed open the door of the cafe.

"There are a lot of people, so the food should be good."

"Can I sit here, please?"

"No problem, please take a seat."

So Hikigaya and Yukinoshita sat opposite the lady with long purple hair.

"Can I sit inside? I like the window seat." Hikigaya said to Yukinoshita

"Are you a child..." Yukinoshita stood up and let Hikigaya walk to the seat.

"Would you like anything, my two guests?"

Hikigaya thought the waitress's hairstyle, with her hair covering one eye, was quite trendy.

"I'd like a cup of blended coffee." After saying that, Yukinoshita put down the menu in her hand.

"I'd like a piece of cheesecake." Hikigaya raised his hand like an elementary school student.

"You come to the cafe and order a cheesecake?"

"Cheese is power, and coffee is bitter, which I don't like. There is no milk tea here, and there is no milk tea shop nearby."

"You're such a child." Yukinoshita glanced at Hikigaya.

"As long as you like it." Hikigaya shrugged indifferently.

"Guest, you ordered mixed coffee and cheesecake."

"Wow, the serving speed is pretty good." Hikigaya joked.

"Okay, now tell me about your business." He picked up a piece of cheesecake with a fork and stuffed the whole piece into his mouth, feeling happy.

"The creature that attacked me should be a ghoul." Yukinoshita slowly stirred her coffee with a spoon.

"Huh?!" The purple-haired lady opposite looked over in surprise.

By the way, did the waiter tremble just now?

"Well, we were talking about games." Hikigaya made up an excuse to tell the purple-haired passerby in front of him.

"Ah, yes, we were talking about games."

"The enemy who attacked me seems to be from a guild called Bronze Tree, Hikigaya, I saw... the guild emblem on that person."

Hikigaya felt that the waiters in the store and the customers in other seats had quietly shifted their gazes towards him.

Wow, are they all so gossipy? Have they never played games in their lives, or what, this group of people.

Especially the purple-haired female passerby sitting opposite, whose burning gaze made Hikigaya feel uncomfortable all over. After making up his mind, Hikigaya made his own choice.

"What are you?"

Phew! The unexpected trick made the purple-haired passerby spit out the coffee in his mouth.

Hikigaya calmly pulled Yukinoshita to his side and calmly wiped the coffee that spilled on the table with a tissue.

"I was just joking, don't take it so seriously, buddy."

Hikigaya suddenly found the purple-haired passerby's eyes a little familiar. What was that? Ah, that's right, it was like the way a hunter looks at his prey, the way he looked at barbecue. Hikigaya recalled the taste of cheesecake in his mouth and understood.

"Are you hungry?" There was an extremely kind smile on Hikigaya's face.

"What do you mean hungry...what do you want to say..." Kamishiro Rize tried her best to calm herself down. He couldn't see it, so she just had to act normal.

"You must be craving for it." Hikigaya tried to make his smile as warm as possible. It was very common for girls to not dare to eat desserts in order to maintain their figure.

As soon as the words fell, the other people in the cafe tensed up instantly. Kamishiro Rize also widened her eyes. Damn it! She was exposed from the beginning! These two people were looking for trouble!

As expected, Hikigaya admired himself for being so observant.

Just as Hikigaya snapped his fingers and was about to ask the waiter for another cheesecake, a sense of crisis suddenly descended.

Kill them! The snap of his fingers became the last straw that broke the camel's back for Kamishiro Rize. Someone was already lying in ambush outside, so he had to strike first!

Puff! This was the sound of Kamishiro Rize deploying her kagune. However, before the kagune could attack forward from behind her, a cold touch came from her forehead, causing Kamishiro Rize's body to stiffen. She also felt a burning sensation on her neck.

7. Games and Waiting

When the sense of crisis came, both Hikigaya and Yukinoshita responded quickly.

Hikigaya's hand trembled, and a silver-framed revolver appeared in his hand. It was his usual weapon, which was placed in the hunter's personal space. It was loaded with six rounds of mercury slash bullets. After firing six rounds in a row, Gu Long would fall to the ground for a while. Then he put the gun to the forehead of the woman sitting opposite him.

Yukinoshita took out her lightsabers, pressed a button to unfold them, and crossed the two swords over the neck in front of her.

And Kamishiro Rize... is too slow. Whether compared to Hikigaya, who is skilled in hunting ancient dragons and ancient gods, or Yukinoshita, who is not far from awakening to the realm of sword saint, she is far behind.

The speed was totally outmatched, Kamishiro Rize swallowed her saliva, and when her kagune was only halfway unfolded, the fatal threat made her unable to move. Was she going to die here today? Kamishiro Rize thought helplessly.

The other people in the cafe? They didn't act rashly, because they couldn't judge the strength of the two people in front of them, especially the man. They didn't know where the gun came from or when it was pulled out. All they could see was the scene when it was against his head. But they could see a little bit when the woman drew her sword.

While holding a gun against Rize's head with one hand, Hikigaya did not forget to fork a piece of cheesecake into his mouth with the other hand. Seeing that other people in the store were not surprised at all, Hikigaya understood something.

It turns out it wasn’t for the cheesecake.

"I know, you are all..."

"Yes, we have been exposed. We are..."

"Octopus monster!"

"Ghoul."

Hikigaya suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Ghoul?!

"Man-eating monster!" Yukinoshita gritted her teeth.

"Wait! We have never eaten anyone on our own initiative!" The manager of the cafe spoke when the situation was about to change.

"Why should I believe you?" Yukinoshita looked at the store manager with cold eyes, holding the two swords firmly in her hands, ready to chop off Kamishiro Rize's head at any time.

"S-class hero, Infinite Blade Master, he's been helping us all along, and we've only eaten the bodies of the dead."

An S-class hero, the highest-ranking hero in the Hero Association founded by the tycoon Argeni, and the Infinite Blade System is famous for justice. If it is really him, then it is worth believing.

"But the way she looked at me just now was quite interesting." Hikigaya joked.

"Rise is indeed a little naughty, but I can guarantee that she is not a bad person by nature." The store manager's tone sounded like he was complaining about a good-for-nothing child.

"You guarantee... Do you think I can handle it..."

"I can get Infinite Blade Works himself over, please trust us." The store manager bowed slightly.

Hikigaya quietly opened his psychic vision, which was as high as ninety-nine, and could see many things that ordinary people could not see, such as sins.

They certainly didn't lie.
