Even ants have the will to survive.
Although, for Pear, the sense of despair that would result from jumping off a building was already within her expectations.
However, when I stood on the rooftop and looked down, a feeling of helplessness and despair immediately overwhelmed me.
Right now, Pear is quickly thinking of a way to keep her alive.
Unfortunately, no.
Some people say that karma is cyclical and no one escapes the wrath of Heaven.
Others say it's because God is blind.
Perhaps, if Riko hadn't been hostile to Yui back then.
Instead, he stepped in to help when Yui was being scorned by the two.
Then, none of the following events will happen.
Unfortunately, life doesn't offer "what ifs".
At that moment, a dark red figure slowly materialized behind Pear.
The figure was slender, with strange patterns on its body and unusually long horns on its head.
The only thing that seemed a little strange was...
This is probably the figure; it looks very surreal.
It seems that if someone were to blow on it even slightly, it would dissipate into the world.
Unfortunately, he exists in this strange state.
Do you crave power?
The figure stared at the pear's back and slowly uttered a familiar saying.
Pear paused for a moment, her mind suddenly going blank.
His body slowly turned around.
Anyone who saw this figure would surely be startled.
They fled in panic.
But she was different.
To be precise, when Pear looked at that figure.
She sensed that something was amiss.
But I couldn't put it into words.
“Yes… I crave power, esteemed Reiblood…”
Forcibly manipulating the minds of Earthlings doesn't seem to be a particularly unusual skill for extraterrestrials.
"Alright... Become a Reonic, wreak havoc, and defeat your kind..."
His figure trembled slightly.
Like a hunter who is overjoyed to see his prey take the bait.
Then, a dazzling red light suddenly enveloped Pear's body.
But the pear in the center didn't show even the slightest extra expression.
That's how dull and lifeless he was.
Soon, the red light dissipated, and the figure disappeared again in a gentle breeze.
All that remained was Pear, lost and bewildered on the rooftop.
"Wait... what's wrong with me?"
She didn't know how much time had passed when Pear suddenly came to her senses.
He looked around with a bewildered expression.
To be honest, suicide is also a matter of one's state of mind.
Encountering this inexplicable situation, Pear suddenly lost the urge to jump off the building and commit suicide.
"Buzz..."
However, just as Pear was planning to quietly go home and get some sleep...
A strange sound suddenly rang out from her arms.
What followed was a scalding sensation.
Almost instinctively, Pear reached out and took out that strange thing.
Strangely, the thing that was originally scalding hot suddenly turned icy cold the moment it touched the pear's hand.
Upon closer inspection, the design of this object appears somewhat simple and rough.
The whole thing is a cuboid.
It didn't seem particularly high-tech.
If you were to say what makes this thing different from a regular cuboid, it would be that it has three odd little boxes in the middle.
Of the three small boxes, only the top one was flashing.
The other two small boxes were completely gray.
"ah!"
A sharp bird cry reached Pear's ears.
Within the only small, shimmering frame, a ferocious, strange bird was staring intently into her eyes.
Patton.
Patton, the volcano monster bird.
For some reason, this name suddenly took over her mind.
"What's this……"
Pear blinked.
He hesitated as he looked at the cuboid in his hand and the strange bird hidden inside it.
However, at that moment, Pear felt something stab her brain.
A flood of memories came rushing back to me.
The rules of monster battles, the orders of the Reiblood aliens, the terror of the Reionics...
Soon, the fleeting stinging sensation disappeared.
"I see……"
Pear narrowed her eyes slightly.
He stared intently at the cuboid in his hand—no, it should be said that it was Reonicus's signature weapon—the Battle Device.
If her memory is correct, this type of battle device can store a total of three monsters.
Furthermore, depending on the duration of the battle, the longer the battle lasts, the more the combat device may change.
Evolve into Battle Gear - Awakened Version.
Although it is said that a total of three monsters can be stored, you only have one yourself.
While not numerically superior, Barton is considered one of the most powerful monsters.
This disadvantage is almost negligible.
"Well... let me give it a try! Here we go, Patton!"
As the last word "pear" fell, the square at the top of the combat device instantly began to flash.
Then, the previously sealed surface slowly opened, and a card depicting Patton's image flew out from the combat device.
The card that was then launched was scanned at the scanner above the combat device.
"Combat system, activate!"
