Is this okay?

boom--! !

Before he could finish speaking, Hill threw a punch back.

The power of this punch was dozens of times that of the opponent, and the impact of the punch sent the White-Handed Giant flying backward.

This is a fist that can stop an earthquake with a single punch.

The mere Hundred-Handed Giant was simply no match for it.

Whoosh!

The Hundred-Armed Giant was sent flying backward, grazing past Seryu behind him.

This startled Seryu, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

Boom——!

She heard a terrible crashing sound and the sound of a building collapsing behind her. She didn't dare to turn around, afraid to face the reality behind her.

If I turned around at that moment, I would definitely see Little Bee crashing into the row of buildings behind him, his body smashed to pieces, lying in the ruins of the collapsed buildings.

She realized that her only option now was to escape!

"Little Bi! Take me and run away!!"

Seryu understood that the situation was fraught with danger and immediately shouted.

Upon hearing Seryu's voice, the Hundred-Handed Giant who had just flown out immediately leaped out of the ruins and rushed towards Seryu at top speed. Before Hill could make a move, it took Seryu and fled the scene.

Faced with this situation, Hill did not pursue, after all, there was still the seriously injured Mine behind him.

When Hill turned around, Mine, who was lying on the ground, looked at Hill and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Such a beautiful girl, suddenly transformed into someone with bulging muscles all over her body, looking more masculine than a man—this is simply unscientific!

"Um... Hill?" Mine asked hesitantly, not understanding what had happened to Hill.

“I’m here, Mine.” Hill looked at Mine gently, waiting for her question.

"Can you explain what exactly is going on?"

"I'm not entirely sure... but it seems I have the power to protect everyone."

"..."

For a moment, Mine was at a loss for words, her heart filled with an indescribable sense of utter disbelief.

The main problem was that the whole thing was so outrageous that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, be moved or sad.

The two survived, but Mine felt that Hill had lost the most important thing.

That’s outrageous!

Forum, Q&A section.

Hill: Thank you, stranger. Thanks to you, I now have the power to protect my companions, and Mine and I are safe.

stranger:……

Kaneki Ken: ...

Tatsumi: ...

Sato Kazuma:......

Senior Xiaoyuan: You guys, say something! Amo, you speak!

Stranger: Um... Hill, could you tell me about your current situation?

Hill: Huh? What happened? I guess I transformed, threw two punches, the other guy ran away, and Mine and I are safe.

Tatsumi: May I ask you about that transformation?

Hill: Hmm...it's nothing, I just feel like the surroundings have gotten shorter, and I'm filled with power, I could even crush rocks into diamonds. Oh right, I think I've grown taller, and the muscle fibers are clearly visible. I feel great!

Kaneki Ken: His hand holding the cola trembled slightly.JPG

Tatsumi: There's no way this kind of thing could happen to a girl! Hill, you're a girl, you're a girl!

Hill: Huh? Is that so? I quite like how I am now; the power inexplicably makes me feel at ease.

Sato Kazuma:......

stranger:……

Senior Xiaoyuan: ……

Hill: Is there a problem? If I can gain power simply by changing my appearance, I'm happy to have it. I can use this power to protect my companions.

Kazuma Sato: Momo! Did you see that?! What a kind girl! This is a true friend! Doesn't your conscience hurt?

Stranger: You, who can kick a girl in the face with all your might, shouldn't be standing up for girls...

Sato Kazuma:......

Kaneki Ken: That's right! Kazuma, get out of here, I should be the one to say it! Amo, how could you be so heartless to such a good girl!

Stranger: Ahem! Let's not talk about that. Let's talk about how to meet now...

Xiaoyuan-senpai: Ah! Shamelessly changing the subject!

Kaneki Ken: Shameless!

Kazuma Sato: Shameless!

Strangers: Extremely Awkward.JPG

Tatsumi: Where are you?

Stranger: I just arrived in the forest and am lost.

Kazuma Sato: Thanks for the invitation. I just arrived in another world and fell into the river.

Senior Xiaoyuan: Is this what they call miracles and magic? I'm totally stuck in the ground.

Hill: Huh? Where are you all headed?

Tatsumi: I forgot to mention, you and Hill are from the same world. Now we both have to come here to deal with the situation in the capital.

Hill: You also want to overthrow the Empire?

Stranger: Overthrowing it would be easy... but I'm afraid it's not that simple...

Hill: I'll go back and talk to the boss first, and ask her if you guys can join.

Stranger: Sure.

Ken Kaneki: So what do we do now?

Stranger: Did you bring your cell phones?

Tatsumi: I brought it, how do I use it?

Stranger: Turn on location services, we'll use the location system to find the other side.

Senior Xiaoyuan: How strange. I've always been curious why I still have internet and signal even after I've been to another world. The most amazing thing is that it's my own home network.

Kazuma Sato: Come to think of it, my internet connection is actually from Kaneki's side...

Ken Kaneki: Let's not think about this kind of question. All we can ask is miracles and magic.

Xiaoyuan: So who pays for the internet?

Kaneki Ken: ...

Tatsumi: ...

stranger:……

Kazuma Sato: That's why you shouldn't dwell on things you can't understand.

Meanwhile, in the forest outside the capital.

Hill, with her muscular body carrying the petite Mine, moved swiftly through the forest. She moved with incredible speed, as if she were weightless, while every muscle in her body was fully engaged.

Her instincts told her how to exert her strength, and she also understood the principles of various attacks that could be launched at any time.

"Hill, are you really okay? I just saw you get shot."

Mine leaned on Hill's shoulder, and only by touching Hill's muscles with her own body could she understand just how hard those muscles were.

But now she's more worried about Hill's well-being, since he's just been shot in the heart.

"It's alright, the bullet has been expelled through the muscle, and the bleeding has stopped."

Hill said casually as he walked through the forest, as if it were just a trivial matter.

What the hell?! Muscles can shoot bullets?!

"Really...is everything alright?" Mine felt her worldview shattered and had no idea what to say.

What happened tonight was so outrageous that I don't even know how to describe it.

“It’s alright. Mine, you know I feel so happy right now. I have the power to protect everyone. I feel it’s all worth it, even if my body becomes less human.”

Hill's voice was rough yet gentle, and as he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Mine, who was slung over his shoulder.

For some reason, she felt incredibly fulfilled.

Such immense power must come at a price, just like Imperial Arms. The more powerful an Imperial Arm is, the more terrifying its side effects.

Chapter Ninety-Three: I can't do it anymore, I really can't.

"..."

When Mine heard Hill's words, she was momentarily speechless. Her eyes filled with tears, she hesitated, wanting to speak but unable to, and could only remain silent for a long time.

Perhaps at this moment, no words are needed; simply feeling with your heart is enough.

But...but...what is this inner grief? What is this feeling of guilt and remorse for something that has happened irreversibly?

Why not myself, but Hill of all people?

Mine frantically questioned herself internally, feeling a pang of pain.

Just then, a commotion came from around the woods, and several people instantly appeared beside Hill and Mine.

"Who's there...wait, are you Hill!?"

The person who arrived was Akame. The moment she saw Hill, her eyes widened in disbelief.

Although Hill's height and physique have changed, her aura remains the same. But what exactly is going on?

Why did Hill become like this?

"Akame... I now have the power to protect everyone."

Hill smiled gently at Akame and said with a satisfied expression.

However, Akame felt a deep sadness, and looking at Hill's body before her, her heart was filled with fierce determination.

What kind of circumstances would it take for Hill to become the way she is now?

"Maine is injured and needs treatment."

Hill handed the injured Mine to Leone, who walked over from the side, his face full of seriousness.

However, compared to Mine, everyone was more concerned about Hill because she was acting so strangely. She was completely a different person, but it was definitely Hill.

"Hill, are you... really alright?"

Leone was filled with worry when she saw Hill like this, and looked at her angular face with disbelief.

"I'm fine, I'm better than ever. My injury has healed, and the bleeding has stopped. So... don't worry."

"But... what's wrong with you?"

“Everything comes at a price, doesn’t it? I gained power, and then this is a pretty good deal, isn’t it, Leone?”

"..."

For some reason, no one could laugh at something that should have been a happy occasion.

Because they all knew that Hill had lost the most precious thing a girl could have.
