It's only the end of March.
The climate in early spring is still relatively cold, and late spring cold is common. Due to the high terrain of the mountain, there was a heavy snowfall last night, but most of it has melted, leaving only one or two white patches covering the road. On the edge and on the vegetation that has sprouted.
The bus didn't go long before it reached Yamabe Parallel, where Kanzaki Shoji and Sawatari Sakurako got off together. Seeing the familiar yet unfamiliar environment around him, Kanzaki's face was filled with emotion.
When he thought of the time he used to work here, it seemed as if a long-lost flame was burning in his heart, making him eager to return to the elementary school in his long memory.
"Here!"
Kanzaki Shoji followed this familiar road and called Sakurako to stride forward together.
He had already seen the simple iron gate that remained in his memory, and behind it seemed to be children laughing and laughing every day.
"We're almost there, go up that slope and you'll reach the elementary school!" Kanzaki's interest increased and his steps became more brisk.
The melted snow has made the road surface wet, the accumulated clouds have not dispersed, and the sky is still a bit gloomy, making the air a bit dull.
"call--"
The iron gate became clearer and clearer before his eyes, but Kanzaki Shoji's expression suddenly froze.
He broke into a trot and quickly came to the gate.
At some point, several signs were hung on the rusty iron gate, bearing the logo of the construction team.
Words such as "Pay attention to safety!" and "Evacuate!" are extremely eye-catching.
"Demolish..." Sakurako read out the above content.
Kanzaki Shoji looked at these signs, and the light in his eyes dimmed, leaving only endless loneliness. Sakurako looked at him silently from behind.
"Is this place going to be lost too? Everything I believe in seems to be disappearing." Kanzaki Shoji sighed in despair, silently and then turned to look at Sakurako, "Can I contact Godai?"
"Huh? But..."
Sakurako wanted to persuade him, but she didn't know how to speak. Of course she wanted to contact Godai, but she also knew what Godai was doing now, so what was the use of contacting him like this? I can't get away at all.
"In this case, we have no choice but to go back..." Kanzaki walked to the pillar of the gate and stretched out his hand to touch the words "Tachibana Elementary School" carved on the stone, but it was already covered with traces of time and dust.
He was silent and said nothing.
Yingzi looked at this somewhat vicissitudes of middle-aged man, as if she had made up her mind. She walked to the side, looked up at the height of the iron door, and said as calmly as possible: "Can you try to climb through this door? I believe that the fifth generation will definitely come."
Kanzaki Shoji looked at the young woman in front of him with some surprise, and then at the iron gate which was not very high. Something seemed to be touched in his heart.
He nodded heavily.
…
Tokyo, Bunkyo Ward.
Facing Rose Girl, Higashino Ryusuke did not dare to be careless at this moment. The attack just now made him understand that Rose Girl is very powerful. I am afraid that most of the existing Furuki who participated in the game will not be her opponent. .
But this is reasonable. As the host of the White Dark Game, she has a noble status second only to Daguaba. Without the corresponding power, she may not be able to gain a foothold in the Gurangji tribe, where the strong are respected.
"Scared—!"
Facing Rose Girl, Ryusuke punched out without hesitation, used his feet on the ground to use force, and rushed forward like a tiger pouncing on prey.
However, Rose Girl just frowned, her face neither happy nor angry, and then her whole body was wrapped in bright red rose petals, and she disappeared in an instant.
Ryusuke, who had hit nothing with one punch, hurriedly stabilized his body and carefully guarded his surroundings.
"Boohoo!"
Several petals came from the left, and he rolled to avoid it, but the Rose Girl was nowhere to be seen.
Ryusuke quickly transformed into the newborn Pegasus form, and the spirit stone around his waist turned green. He randomly picked up something from the ground and turned it into a Pegasus crossbow, and then squatted on the ground. His super-enhanced super senses detected all the information around him in an instant.
There was a sound of air vibrating from the eaves on the left.
over there!
He suddenly raised the Pegasus Crossbow, aimed at the upper left and pulled the trigger, and the muzzle quickly fired an energy beam.
"Boom!"
At the same time, several petals came towards him and flew past Ryusuke's right shoulder, knocking him away with the huge force they carried. When the supersensory tube was strengthened, it also strengthened his perception of his own pain. Under the unbearable pain, he immediately returned to his original form.
Does Gurangji, who is stronger than Ge Group, really need to use the power of sublimation?
Just in time to test whether he could use the golden power brought by the electric shock, Ryusuke covered his right shoulder, and a special power began to gather on his belt.
"Zila——"
Golden arcs of electricity suddenly pulsed all over his body, and the spiritual stone slowly turned golden under such power. His momentum suddenly increased, shocking even the hidden Rose Girl.
"How could such a power happen?"
The process of strengthening the sublimation power was not as smooth as expected, but after only half of the strengthening, Ryusuke felt that his power had improved by leaps and bounds. Even without the ability to use Pegasus, his perception still increased dozens of times.
His sharp eyes looked at Rose Girl's position, with electric light flowing in his red compound eyes.
Rose Girl felt as if two sharp swords shot through the fog around her, like needles shining on her back!
At that moment, she had no intention of continuing to pester. With a wave of his hand, rose petals flew, covering his figure, and disappeared in an instant.
The strange thing is that Higashino Ryusuke just stayed there quietly and did not chase after him.
"Wow——" The strong momentum suddenly began to decline. After a few breaths, he actually exited the transformation and returned to his human appearance.
how so?
Higashino Ryusuke fell to the ground weakly and looked at his hands in confusion. The intense exertion of physical strength made him gasp for breath.
The first time I used sublimation, it ended in failure. I don't know why, but when it is strengthened, the sublimated power cannot be fully released.
Although it has been strengthened, the body is in an extremely unstable state.
It's impossible to fight in such a state. It's just a bluff. Why?
He lay there and regained some strength, thinking deeply as he returned to his motorcycle.
"Beep~" The communication signal light on the instrument lit up, and Ichijo Kaoru's voice came.
"Godai, No. 23 has moved to the Arakawa River Basin in Koto District. Let's search around here first!"
"knew."
Ryusuke thought for a while and turned on the communicator.
"Mr. Ichijo, I'm coming over now. Godai, can you hear me?"
"Ryūsuke-san? What's the condition of that unidentified life form?"
"She escaped. I'm coming to join you now. You must abide by the agreement you made with the teacher. Leave the No. 23 to me!"
Godai naturally believed in Ryusuke, and he agreed after just a moment's thought, "Then Ryusuke-san, I'll leave it to you first."
"Please come here as soon as possible!" Kaoru Ichijo repeated.
