Chapter 21: The Last Haze

"The scene of the xenomonster incident at the XXX location has been cordoned off by the police......"

"At first, I thought it was a scene for an alien-themed movie, but the crowd of onlookers claimed that there was no ...... the presence of the director and camera crew."

"The two humans who killed the four xenomorph monsters are currently under investigation......"

"Two humans who killed xenomorph monsters left the words 'Persona of the Bikers' at the location of the 'crime'......"

"Black tight-fitting biker suit, black helmet, and dual swords, driving the 'Fire-Blade', the first generation of Fireblade family vehicles produced by Honda, developed from CBR900RR CBR1000RR......"

"Recently, the term "Persona of the Bikers" has been often rumored...... Some people even believe that they are the 'Superman' who defends the earth in the anime, maybe the 'Superman' theme anime will be popular this year, and the "Kamen Rider" and "Ultraman" themes are expected to become popular again......"

“……”

Arthur and Yu Kiritani, who had just returned from the battle, sat on the sofa sweating, and the moment they pressed the power switch on the TV, news related to their actions popped up.

"When~"

The helmet thrown on the tatami mat Kiritani Yu lazily stretched his soft and slender arms, and the whole person lay on the table, and then slapped the table with both hands and said-

"Meat, meat, eat meat, Arthur, I'm exhausted!"

"Just had dinner, you guy! ~”

"Don't you know that a girl's belly is connected to another dimension?"

"Curse you fat!"

"The curse doesn't work, but I have the talent to eat no matter how much I don't get fat!"

"Your talent is amazing! I haven't heard that the people of the two-dimensional descent are foodies! ”

"One of the essential attributes of a two-dimensional girl is the ...... of [foodie]"

"That's really scary......"

“……”

Arthur complained about Kiritani's stomach, while entering the kitchen to prepare for supper, the clock has pointed to two o'clock in the morning at night, normal classes during the day, and then he has to start working at seven o'clock, until ten o'clock, and then come back to cook, and then play the role of [Persona of the Biker Rider] with Kiritani Yu to hunt parasites.

Parasites are encountered almost every night.

And recently, the whole world, no, it should be said that the whole of Japan has been enveloped in a strange atmosphere, and it is spreading to the whole world.

Because of the actions of Arthur and Kiritani, the parasites jumped out of the sight of humans, and every day the news reports were aimed at the two of them and those parasites, and there was even news that the Self-Defense Forces had set up a special xenobiological defense department......

The government is even rewarding Arthur and Kiritani for the news.

"It's a matter of time before it's discovered, the government should have retrieved Honda's factory records, and if you spot check it one by one, it will soon find out to me, and then you will have to make a choice, now the number of kills of me and you has reached four, and the last time tomorrow, if you return, even if they spot check, it is impossible to verify, after all, we have left."

Yu Kiritani pulled out his yukata and walked into the bathroom, not expecting Arthur to answer, just reminding him.

She decided to return, the difficulty of the hell level was already her limit, she was different from Arthur, she didn't have his temporary explosive power, and she didn't have the kind of 'pet' that 'Xiao Zuo' provided support, with the only swordsmanship she had now, it was a bit difficult to work to the next level.

The parasite also has the existence of a boss, which is a necessary setting for a clearance dungeon, and the cannon fodder is finished, and then the boss is going to be beaten, so she doesn't want to take risks, and it's very good to be able to do hellish tasks.

“……”

Arthur's arm trembled, and finally at this time, he did think at the beginning that he would be able to clear the level with Yu Kiritani until the end of the abyss-level mission.

However, Yu Kiritani has already made a decision, and it would be too rude for him to persuade others to stay.

Arthur was ready to move on, because there was so much he wanted to know, the road was full of hardships and thorns, he had nothing in the first place, so he didn't have to worry about losing, and his heart longed for this wandering between life and death, he wanted to continue!

So—

"Kiritani, I have the same idea, after tomorrow, let's leave, first you, then my ......"

"Really? That's good, I guess only two of us have passed Class A of the 15th Long Point Upper Machine Academy......"

"Well, thank you for your guidance, ...... Kiritani."

"Well, thank you for your 'hospitality', the meal was delicious......"

“……”

Yu Kiritani wiped her hair with a towel, shook her long flowing hair heartily, and sat at the dining table smiling and relieved, probably because Arthur was going back with her, right?

It's just-

Arthur lied.

If truth is cruel, lies are definitely gentle.

- So, meekness is a lie.

He doesn't want Yu Kiritani to accompany him on adventures, and sometimes, the existence of lies is necessary.

*

The sky was not clear that night, and some haze covered the sky, as if it was going to rain.

"Yo, Persona on the biker, last mission, GO!"

Kiritani Yu put on a helmet and started the locomotive, but it didn't seem to be going to run all the way over, but chose to drive quietly, this is their last scene in this world, to remember with their hearts, this first dimensional journey.

Maybe it's not as colorful as the fantasy wizarding world, maybe it's not as exciting as the adventure, maybe it's not as beautiful as the beautiful poems that can be sung and cried.

But after all, this is the first time.

The locomotive was walking on the road, and gradually, the prey was already in their sight.

This place has some memories for Arthur, just like the parking lot that night, this time the location is still an underground parking lot.

This 'coincidence' upset Arthur.

But he didn't say it, he didn't want to disturb Yu Kiritani's mood now, after all, she was about to leave this world.

"Why don't you come first, Arthur......"

Yu Kiritani suddenly spoke up.

"Hawkers, the last time in this world, let me have a good time, right? After all, every time I am so embarrassed in front of you, let me be handsome once, right? ”

Arthur said half-jokingly.

"You don't have to be handsome...... Well, I'll wait for you. ”

Kiritani Yu didn't think much about it, and when this parasite was 'eating', she completed the kill of the double knife stream, the double fan slash, and the curtain ended perfectly, and then she popped up the taskbar of personal information and chose to return.

And at this moment, something that disturbed Arthur finally appeared-

"Be careful, Arthur, Ryoko Tamiya and another person are running towards this place......"

Xiao Zuo, who had rarely spoken since Yu Kiritani moved into the house, finally spoke.
