And the next day.
Tamaki entered Okinawa while the monsters did not appear.
He was also from Okinawa, and he entered the central political world and worked hard for Okinawa.
“Thank you for coming! You come like this when everyone turns away, so you are a benefactor.”
“It doesn’t matter. What about the government’s position?”
As soon as we got to the point, Tamaki’s answer was difficult.
“… We don’t have a better power than Superman at the moment, so we promised full-scale recovery support after hunting monsters. I said it was unfair to leave everything to Superin-nim, but my story was not accepted. sorry.”
“Even so, it doesn’t help. This is a bad decision.”
“Yes. So I appealed for help, but my opinion did not resonate. sorry.”
“You did your best. Don’t be too disappointed.”
You two are shooting a lot of drama.
As I watched the new wave drama, I organized my thoughts in my head. First of all, helping the Japanese government was a separate matter for me. Leaving it entirely up to me is actually a good thing because it means I can do whatever I want.
Seriously, when did I notice and move?
Still, just thinking about it like this is a major step forward.
“I have a question.”
“Yes, tell me.”
“After talking with the governor here, it is speculated that there is something wrong with the behavior of the monster.”
“Yes? What if it’s abnormal?”
“In the meantime, I have been collecting behavior patterns while dealing with monsters.”
Josuke began to explain the information he had gathered to Tamaki. As the story progressed, Tamaki’s expression hardened seriously.
I have something to point out.
“I asked because I thought you might know something. I guess there’s something wrong with it?”
“My status is low, so I don’t know the details. But from the information we’ve been hearing recently, there are some things we can guess.”
Tamaki said that a secret experiment is in progress in Tokyo, and that it corresponds to an extension of the essence of the artificial divine water carried out earlier.
It is said that they are ‘collecting’ special materials for that purpose, but the time of acquisition coincided with the time at which the monsters ran wild.
Separately, it is just a coincidence, but when the coincidence overlaps, it becomes inevitable.
He had already made the essence of an artificial divine beast, so I guessed it.
“Maybe I am overthinking it.”
“Even if you ask me, I won’t give you an answer.”
“Yes. It is the project, not here, that is important to them.”
“Ugh.”
“… … .”
All of a sudden, I was caught in the middle of a serious atmosphere, and I was in a position to watch.
To be honest, if you ask my opinion, I don’t really care. I see that Japan is developing the essence of a new artificial divine water, but it will be like drinking a dog and giving it away later.
Do you want to add one more special dog food?
If not, it might be better to deal with it in another way.
[All I have to do is eat it raw.]
I used to like to eat it raw. If you look at it, copying a gift with blood intake is one of those eating raw.
And it could be a great success in the Japanese government. If you succeed, you can change your response according to success.
Let’s leave this for later fun.
“then.”
When I opened their mouths, they stopped talking and focused their eyes on me.
“I will hunt the angry guy when he comes to attack again.”
“What we can do to help… … .”
“There is not.”
He cut Josuke’s words with a single blow. Even if you try to help out clumsily, you won’t help but only increase the burden of trouble.
“I hope that you give an order of introduction to those around you. I don’t want to be swept away by the aftermath and make pointless sacrifices.”
“All right! We will take action immediately!”
Yes, this should be enough.
* * *
The demons are running wild, but in the midst of that, they are not in a state of surrendering everything to their instincts. The guy was cunningly trying to kill all of Okinawa.
When Tamaki entered the island, the siege was loosened for a while, and immediately afterward, other monsters were mobilized to form a tight siege.
They try to completely destroy everything on the island. And when they come to attack again, there is a high probability that they will come to attack my yacht, a means of escaping the island.
I’m going to use this as bait to catch him.
Then I had a question.
“Yongyong.”
[yes?]
“Aren’t you having children?”
[Uh, don’t give birth!]
“You can’t make it at all.”
[Isn’t it a creature that reproduces like you in the first place? It is important that our divine beasts are different from your human beings.]
That guy’s rank is extremely scrutinized. But that’s not wrong.
The divine beast has a much higher intelligence than the two-horned monster. Just knowing how to use your powers will change your level.
At that point, if the divine beasts step forward, the world will suffer near destruction.
What would happen if such a god gave birth to a baby?
[Why are you asking that all of a sudden?]
“I’m just curious. You’re a friend, so if you have children, I can give you a loan.”
[That’s really the worst.]
“Why is it the worst?”
[Are you asking knowingly?]
“I’m asking because I don’t know.”
[If you don’t know, it’s a bit serious, think about it.]
What did this child say now? However, Yong-yong did not back away easily. Rather, he opened his eyes and tried to stare at me.
[You know all the weird things you think? We won’t have any children, but we won’t even ask you for a loan, so wake up.]
“If you don’t like it, don’t.”
[Never will.]
I thought that if I thoroughly educated them from a young age, I could create a new gentleman who listens well, but it’s a pity.
It was time to swallow the regret and roll his head to see how to persuade Yong-yong.
Wow!
A loud alarm sounded all over Okinawa. It’s not hard to guess what this means. It’s a monster attack.
– This is Aoi Wazawai.
“I’ll go right away.”
I immediately started heading to the place where the monster appeared.
* * *
The place where the demons attacked did not deviate from my expectations at all. They were approaching in a straight line, aiming for a yacht, a means of getting out of the island.
I kicked off the sea level and headed forward to the place where the monster was. He paused to see if he also sensed my presence, and then approached with a fierce force.
The distance between us quickly narrowed, and after a while, I was able to grasp the shape of the monster in detail.
“It’s that guy.”
The overall appearance was a marlin with no loss. Its body length was about 15m, and it wasn’t even that big. However, the dynamically wriggling body was full of elasticity, and the sharply protruding upper jaw gleamed with anticipation that anything could be cut.
Seeing that guy makes me want to eat sashimi all of a sudden.
“You look pretty strong, don’t you?”
I remembered the guy who ate the essence of the artificial divine water and ran wild. Even then, I had a good taste, but I thought I could try a different kind of fun this time.
It was a time when I was about to go out to hit one, wondering how strong I was.
“uh?”
The sea level shook, and the sea stopped me from moving. It was not a natural flow. An invisible force was moving the sea.
It was about time I tried to shake off the frivolous disturbance by spurring the sea level.
👌👌👌👌👌
As if he had been waiting, he jumped out of the water and aimed at me with his sharp upper jaw.
It was aimed at not being free to move in the air.
He’s a guy with good hair. I avoided the attack by stepping on the footsteps made of Force and turning the trajectory.
A marlin that barely passes by.
I went straight into the sea and kicked him.
Crazy!
He also swung his upper jaw like a sword and tore my force shield. It was said that even if it was one hit, it would be exchanged.
“The head turns quickly, moves quickly, and can change direction freely.”
Once I confirmed that he was an annoying guy.
In fact, he had a sense of humor and strength, so he must have established his own territory even with Hyuna by his side.
Even though monsters have overwhelming hardware, it would be a disaster for other awakeners if they had software that could use it appropriately.
It’s different in my case.
Rather, it was a suitable opponent as a showcase for force smelting.
Pot!
The bullets fired from my fingertips barely passed the marlin. However, the aftermath of the bullet was really strong. A space in the sea changed like a vacuum, creating a void.
The power of force smelting, based on trust, is improving day by day.
The marlin, who barely escaped, saw it and rushed in, creating a far more complex movement than a little bit.
It was not going to be shot. Who would see this as a monster running wild?
So it’s rather good.
I have to struggle to not get hit, so I can increase my accuracy.
The guy who avoided the bullets I shot with high-speed movement allowed one shot.
The shock was strong enough to puncture his body and push him back, but his willpower was not broken. Rather, it made me live and attacked where I was.
I pushed so hard that I had no choice but to back off.
I tried to sniper from a little further away.
If I become more accustomed to it and my belief becomes firmer, I will be able to inflict fatal wounds on monsters and divine beasts.
We exchanged workshops several times in an instant. Obviously, fighting in the sea is not free of movement.
If it was on land, it would have drilled a few more holes, but the speed of the Force bullets was far behind.
“yes?”
But this time it was strange. The guy who was approaching with a trajectory that was too complex to be chased by the eye until a while ago suddenly charged in a straight line.
It looked like he was going to collide with me at any cost.
I gave him two sniper shots and then stepped aside. And I stepped back to keep my distance, but I didn’t rush in as ignorantly as I was a while ago.
what?
I felt nauseous. I do not overlook this phenomenon that cannot be explained in words. What my senses were warning me was the crystallization of all the experiences I had ever had.
Then, when the direction was changed again in the resumed battle, he charged at the cost of damage. He was desperate to push me away, even though he had holes all over his body.
Doubt turned into certainty.
If you don’t notice this, you’re an idiot.
“There is something.”
It’s natural to move away from the shore in battle, so why do you force yourself to change direction and push me back to the shore?
That question led to the expansion of the senses, leading to the process of figuring out why the marlin moves so desperately. And through a small presence caught in the wide-spreading senses, I pictured the situation in my head.
Yes, the reason he’s running rampant is the disappearance of ‘precious things’, but it may not be the disappearance of precious things.
I raised the corners of my mouth and called for Yong-yong.
“Yongyong.”
[why?]
“Can’t you feel something over there?”
[what? nothing… uh?]
Even though Yong-yong didn’t know, he seemed to notice my comment.
I don’t know for sure, but it was at least 10km away. It was sensed that small presences different from the existing marine monsters were gathered there.
In the midst of deliberately trying to kill Okinawa, the weak ones are wandering around not far from the shore?
The ecosystem of monsters is a world of weak and strong food more than people think. Where plus-level monsters that make humans tremble appear, weak monsters are nothing more than food.
If I didn’t take it seriously, I might have overlooked it, but as far as I’ve noticed, I can’t just ignore it.
This is his weakness.
“Let’s go over there.”
[okay.]
────!
The moment Yong-yong casts space movement, the cry of a marlin, which he had never heard before, resounded.
It gave me confidence.
After moving through space, when I saw young fish that were 2~3m in size in front of me, I smiled brightly.
They were marlin cubs.
It was the moment when doubt became certain.
“Guys, would you like to see me?”
