"So it was just a clone, huh? Who are you trying to scare!"
Taiga sneered, "Come on! Let me teach you what Earthlings do when they fight!"
Shirogane Miyuki was stunned.
This man in the porter's uniform... is amazing! Facing those terrifying aliens, instead of running away, he charged in and fought like a street fighter?
However, two fists cannot fight against four hands.
A Baltan alien suddenly teleported behind Taiga, and its huge pincers slammed into Taiga's back.
"Ugh!" Dahe Wang groaned as he was sent flying, crashing heavily into the wall, the steel pipe slipping from his hand.
"Cough cough... Damn it..." Taiga Nozomi clutched his chest in pain, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
After all, we are just mortals; it's too much of a stretch for us to withstand aliens head-on.
The Baltan alien raised its pincers, preparing to deliver the final blow to this troublesome human.
"Run..." Taiga shouted at Shirogane, "Don't worry about me...run..."
Baiyin looked at the fallen Dahewang.
Run? Abandon his savior like a coward and run away? No, he couldn't do it.
Shirogane Miyuki's eyes changed; the decisiveness and ruthlessness that belonged to the student council president of Shuchiin erupted at that moment.
He picked up the steel pipe that Dahewang had dropped on the ground.
Although his hands were trembling, and although he was just a student who only knew how to study, he still stood in front of Daigo Nozomi.
"...If you want to touch him, you'll have to get past me first!"
Bai Yin gritted his teeth, staring intently at the terrifying monster.
The Baltan seemed to be stunned for a moment, probably because they had never seen such a reckless human before.
"Hoo, hoo, hoo—" it let out a mocking laugh, and raised its pincers again.
Just then.
[Hmph, this is interesting.] Zero's voice suddenly sounded excited in Taiga Nozomi's mind.
[Dahe! Stop playing dead! This kid has good eyesight, I've taken a liking to him! Hand over control of your body to me! Use up a quarter of your attempts! It only takes five seconds.]
"Just as I expected, right? I told you, you'd have to use at least one of your four chances." Taiga wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, revealing a maniacal smile: "Five seconds? That shouldn't cost much... Deal!"
next second.
Taiga Nozomi's aura changed. His originally roguish eyes instantly became extremely sharp, as if he had become a different person. A layer of golden light faintly appeared on his body.
"Hoo—" He took a deep breath, as if he wanted to inhale all the air in the world into his lungs.
"Hey kid, move aside."
"Dahe Wang" stood up, his voice becoming deep and domineering: "Don't block my way of cleaning up the trash."
Before Bai Yin could react, he was gently pushed away by a hand.
"Dahe Wang" cracked his neck, wiped his nose, and beckoned to the Baltan alien with his finger: "If you want to fight me, you're 20,000 years too early!"
Boom! He rushed out.
The speed was so fast that it was impossible to see with the naked eye.
He punched the Baltan alien hard in the chest.
—Gaaaaaah!!! The Baltan alien let out a scream, flying backward like a cannonball, crashing through three layers of walls, and finally exploding into a ball of green light particles.
It was a flash sale, taking less than a second.
As the light faded, Dahe Wang's body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
"Huff...huff...this bastard...he said five seconds...this almost drained me dry..."
Shirogane Miyuki stood to the side, the steel pipe in his hand clattering to the ground.
He stared at it all in disbelief.
"You...who exactly are you...?"
Taiga looked up at Shirogane's silly expression and grinned: "Who am I? I'm just a passing porter."
He pointed with difficulty to his helmet: "Remember, safety first."
"And help me up, young man."
……
The two supported each other as they left the place of trouble and arrived at a small square.
Taiga bought two cans of coffee from the vending machine and tossed one to Shirogane.
"Here, to calm your nerves."
"Th-thank you." Baiyin took the coffee, her hands still trembling slightly.
What just happened is too unreal: aliens, a glowing fist, and this mysterious mover.
"that……"
Bai Yin hesitated for a moment, "That light just now..."
That's static electricity.
Dahe Wang continued to spout nonsense without batting an eye.
"That monster was electrified, and when I hit it, it caused a discharge reaction. Basic physics, you know?"
"...Do you think I'd believe that? I'm not stupid."
Believe it or not.
Dahe Wang shrugged and took a sip of coffee.
"Anyway, don't tell anyone about tonight. Especially don't tell the police. I don't want to get arrested. Just treat it as a nightmare."
Bai Yin looked at him and remained silent for a moment.
Although this man was talking nonsense, it was a fact that he had just saved me, and the way he desperately protected a stranger...
"I won't tell."
Bai Yin nodded seriously. "This is a promise between men."
"Heh, they're pretty savvy."
Dahe Wang smiled and stood up.
"Alright, I've rested enough. I should go now. I have to get up early to work tomorrow."
"Um...can you tell me your name?" Shirogane suddenly called out to him.
Dahe Wang stopped and turned around to wave: "Dahe. Dahe Wang."
"I am Shirogane Miyuki."
Baiyin watched his retreating figure.
"Could I have your contact information? I'd like to treat you to a meal next time... as a thank you gift."
"I don't have your contact information, so meeting up is up to fate!"
"Also, if you're treating me to dinner, I want the most expensive barbecue!"
The sound of Taihe Wang could be heard from afar.
"Don't you have any contact information...?"
For some reason, looking at Taiga Nozomi's back, Shirogane Miyuki inexplicably thought of the busy figure in that coffee shop.
"...Why did I suddenly think of Duan Jun..." He scratched his head, at a loss for words.
Chapter 24 The Crack in Yokohama
"—An urgent news flash."
"At around 9 a.m. this morning, an unidentified skytrace suddenly appeared over Minato Mirai Ward in Yokohama City."
"The trace is faintly purple, about three meters long and less than ten centimeters wide, and has not yet caused electromagnetic interference or physical impact on the surrounding environment."
"The meteorological agency and research institutions have launched an investigation, and the initial suspicion is that it is an upper-level atmospheric discharge or a special refraction phenomenon. Citizens are urged to remain calm and not to panic excessively..."
…………
“Kaisan, that’s Yokohama, not the desserts in the shop window. Stop staring at the screen and drooling. Take this plate of cookies to table number two.”
Duan Zilian said helplessly to Hong Kai while tying her apron.
"I was observing the crack."
Hong Kai brazenly reached out and swiped a cookie from the small dish.
"Yes, Sang's cooking skills are getting better and better in the future."
"Hey! That's for the guests!"
Duan Zilian was so anxious that she tried to grab it, but Hong Kai nimbly dodged it with a sidestep.
"Anyway, we'll bake them again in the future, so I'll just have one piece."
"Alright, alright, you two, you're so energetic first thing in the morning."
Hibino Mirai came out from behind carrying a pot of freshly brewed Blue Mountain coffee. He carefully straightened the crooked collar of Duan Zilian's apron.
"Duan Jun, go and tidy up that table over there. It's Saturday today, and there seem to be more customers than usual."
"clear."
Duan Zilian grabbed a rag, looked at the two seniors with completely different personalities, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
On the left side of the bar, several office workers in wrinkled Brazilian clothes were sighing and looking at the newspaper at the scattered seats.
"I really don't understand the world these days."
A middle-aged man with a receding hairline pointed to the Yokohama news on TV, then looked at the three young people bustling and joking around at the bar, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Look at those young men, so full of energy. If only we could be like them in times like these, only worrying about whether we have enough coffee beans."
"Yes, it's so good to be young."
My colleague next to me took a sip of his steaming latte, his eyes glazed over.
"The weather is so unpredictable these days, and with that incident in Yokohama, it feels like a terrible disaster could happen at any moment. But this shop, which is right on the edge of the disaster area, has a surprisingly reassuring atmosphere."
The group exchanged smiles, clinked glasses, and enjoyed the rare atmosphere.
"—Duan Zilian, how long are you going to make me wait? Are you planning to grow and grind the coffee fresh from the ground?!"
A sudden, sharp shout shattered the tranquility of the shop.
Duan Zilian shuddered and turned his head sharply.
In the most prominent window seat in the cafe, Yumiko Miura was resting her chin on one hand while impatiently tapping the table with the other.
Her dazzling blonde hair almost burned the eyes in the sunlight, and her queen-like aura made the guests at the surrounding tables subconsciously lower their heads.
"M-Miura-kun!"
Duan Zilian's "wise man" demeanor instantly crumbled.
"Right away! That freshly brewed sea salt latte is already having latte art! Really right away!"
"Hurry up, Duan!"
Yui Yuigahama waved her little hand beside her, her round face full of anticipation.
"It's Saturday today, and Yumiko brought everyone here especially to support you!"
"Support?"
Hachiman Hikigaya huddled in a corner, staring at the half-finished cup of bitter coffee in his hand with dead fish eyes, muttering to himself.
"I think they're here to execute someone. Watching familiar faces in aprons bustling around like crazy—only these social butterflies would come up with such a twisted sense of humor."
Originally planning to lie at home all day, it ultimately couldn't escape Yui Yuigahama's pleading and was forced to shout out under the pretext of "relaxing after the disaster."
