Chapter 40.3

“GUOOOOOU!!”

 

Copied from  

He released a full powered punched to the face of the chimera who stood up.

“Phase 3 at this timing…!”

 

 

Everyone on the spot confirmed the presence of a human shadow shouting in the tornado.

 

 

Episode 40 — Want to Be One

That was a shout of joy, of anger and grief. The appearance of every emotions endlessly overflowing from the container that should have been empty. Loaded with unmanageable excess of his heart, he shouted.

 

“Seeiyaatsu!!”

Glancingly, Kyousuke directed his gaze toward Sak.u.ma who fell over on the deck. It seemed that she just fainted, but probably that poison from just now still remained strong. There was the possibility that after-effect would remain if her treatment was delayed.

Sak.u.ma shouted with as big a voice as possible to Uozumi Masuyo who was fighting the chimera.

Sak.u.ma who had given a loud voice even though poison was circulating through her body, entrusted her body to the floor while her consciousness went hazy.

“U–Utsurogi…!”

“…OOOOOOOOO———“

“Ahh, the one who will fight isn’t me.”

 

Suou’s voice was full of astonishment. The chimera’s attack didn’t received any resistance, completely as if it attacked water. Among the students who was watching that, Kensaki, as before, most obediently expressed her surprise.

“Huh…!”

 

“U, Uozumi, sann!!”

 

Thinking to entrust the explanation to his very delighted best friend, Kyousuke turned around to the chimera direction. Liquefaction was instant. The structure of the body returned immediately.

“Eh, liquefied!?”

Kyousuke tightly clenched his fists, took a Jeet Kune Do stance and confronted the chimera.

 

“A wisp that hasn’t even become Phase 2 is taking a very composed att.i.tude?”

 

 

With Sak.u.ma’s shout, Suou noticed. He tried to silence her with a kick, but Akira cut in and raised the thermal power all at once. Suou’s foot was exposed to a directional heat wave that melt even the deck. Suou clicked his tongue and retracted his kick.

Akira said in a tone full of confidence for some reason.

“My nature is like this. You are Suou? It seems that you did a lot of cruel things to my best friends.”

 

But wisp is a low rank monster. Even if it was said to be strong against physical attack, how much of a good fight could he show against Knight Suou whom the leading combat personnel failed even as a group?

“Uu…. Hi, no, kun…”

“What…!”

 

 

“———OOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaa!!!”

 

“It’s nothing surprising. This is Kyousuke and Rin completely fused. They can freely manipulate even the composition of body tissue. Of course, liquefaction including bones is the basic among basics.”

 

Whether Suou’s wariness was transmitted, The chimera shook off Ok.u.mura and Zeku who were trying to held it down and turned its face toward Kyousuke direction. The chimera howl and charged at Kyousuke. Kyousuke didn’t even try to avoid that. At the moment of collision, ∗bashan∗, with sound of water, the chimera fell forward and rolled on the deck.

 

When Akira said that, Sak.u.ma was t

aken aback and looked at Kyousuke direction. Same as before, the two people were completely exhausted and didn’t move even one finger. A little something like steam started to raise from the two body. It expanded spirally and was trying to enclose the figure of Kyousuke and Rin.

Kyousuke shrugged his shoulders, Rin voice was naturally heard from somewhere of his body. It was a stupid conversation, but Suou’s expression as he was looking at that was grim.

 

«Well, speaking of benefit, I also got some so anything is okay.»

“———OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO———“

 

That voice belonged to «him». So he stood up again as expected. Sak.u.ma slowly closed her eyes and gave herself to the floor while holding a peaceful conviction to the too slow revival. Meanwhile, the roaring voice became louder, and then the tornado wrapping up Kyousuke and Rin’s body gradually weakened.

 

 

Floating there was Hino Akira whose entire body were flaring up with flame close to twice as usual.

«Kyousuke-kun, Saa-chan is…»

 

 

 

 

«Perfectly!!»

An androgynous looks that couldn’t be said to be man or woman. Slender body and light blue hair. This figure that was delicately built up that seemed to be human, was the ideal form that was put together during the sympathetic consciousness connection of Kyousuke and Rin. Precisely because the two were in a state of complete fusion that this mimicry was possible.

Akira’s words was spoken quietly, but his tone was shaking with strong anger. Since even Sak.u.ma could feel it, probably for Akira himself, it should be a considerably unmanageable feeling. It wasn’t easy to have a chance of seeing Akira swelling up close to twice as usual after all.

“So he say, Rin.”

“Ahh, I’ve made you worried. For now, leave this to … oops.”

A flame bullet rushed at Suou who was carrying Sak.u.ma on his side, trying to kidnap her. Suou was a little delayed in coping with the surprise attack from an unexpected direction. Although he would received no big damage even if it was a direct hit, he dropped Sak.u.ma who was being held.

 

“First of all, let’s have them return Was.h.i.+o from that body!!”

《Characteristics Amplification》, for a skeleton with this as its Phase 2 ability, what sort of things its Phase 3 would be, Sak.u.ma had heard from Akai. Kyousuke would reach that very soon. Rin had succeeded in bringing him back.

 

Suou’s voice was getting a little hoa.r.s.e.

~ Part 3 ~

Uozumi Masuyo, as was told by Sak.u.ma, started chanting water magic. The chimera spread Was.h.i.+o’s wings and took a stance to shoot poisonous feathers. Masuyo’s older brother, Sakeichiro forced his way in front of her and restrained it with scale bullets. With the shooting of poisonous feathers delayed several beats, Kagoi’s cover made it in time. All the shoot feathers were repelled by the gargoyle’s tough stone skin without reaching Masuyo.

Kyousuke made an amazed face and said. Although temporary, that figure had changed too much made the students completely dumbfounded.

 

 

“Utsurogi-kun, water!!”

Kyousuke rolled over on the ground, Rin was coiling around him. Neither of them had any sign of even twitching.

Meanwhile, Suou directed irritated gaze toward the sudden intruder.

“”ORYAAA!!””

 

“Take a rest, Sak.u.ma. You’re the same as Kyousuke, If leave alone you will do something unreasonable.”

 

 

“Sorry. However, I yielded the all the important parts of bringing you back to Rin. It’s okay with just this much side benefit, isn’t it?”

As expected, she thought, with dual meanings swirling in her chest. But I have to do as much as I can now.

“Queen, has turned only this guy to her kin…!? s.h.i.+t, but why…!”

“Ahh, I know. We will heal Sak.u.ma’s poison quickly. For that sake as well…”

 

Rin replied with a shout. Kyousuke also nodded.

Crimson eyes peeked through the gap of the brushed away wind and glared at Suou.

 

 

 

Uozumi Masuyo invoke the chanted magic and pour water on Kyousuke and Rin’s body. Rin’s body absorbed the water and wrapped up Kyousuke’s body. The spiral steam raising from their body soon became a tornado and wrapped up the two people.

“Why is Hino explaining it so happily…”

On behalf of the dumbfounded students, Kensaki raised a her voice.

“Don’t just arbitrarily name it…”

 

It was the same speech as usual. Although he mostly remained in bed during cruising because of seasickness, he was very talkative at the moment. Sak.u.ma ignored Akira’s advice of «take a rest», still with her hands propped on the floor, looked in Kyousuke and Rin’s direction.

A roaring voice was heard from inside the tornado. Sak.u.ma was relieved.

“And Himemizu too…. Are you okay now?”

“It seems your bet is off. Knight Suou.”

 

At the end of that scream, the shadow brushed away the tornado with his own arm. No one in this place was able to divert their gaze from him. Even Suou was the same. He forgot to move, his body nailed on the spot.

 

 

Sak.u.ma rolled on deck and groaned a little. She raised her face with both hands.

 

“I was allowed to read Akai’s doc.u.ments so it’s no mistake. This is Phase 3 of 《Characteristics Amplification》. It is a temporary combine, but now, Kyousuke and Himemizu is in a complete fusion state at cellular level, molecule level and magicule level. So to speak, EX Stream Cross. Yes, let’s name it Extreme Cross!!”

 

There was not even a slight lag in the link of their consciousness. From density manipulation to hardening, everything was done instantly, and the resulting exploding impact broke off the goat neck of the chimera in a single blow. The remaining lion head screamed, it writhed in pain while pinning down its wound.
