Chapter 319 Six Sweethearts
——Just kidding.
[You're teasing Zero because he's still young?] After the transformation, only Akae Nazuki could hear Matsuda Jinpei's voice, [Tsk tsk, that's too bad aka.]
【I didn’t say that.】
Akae Nazuki was not as ashamed as he looked on the surface. He was even in a good mood to calmly argue with Matsuda Jinpei: [That was obviously what you wanted to do, Jinpei, right? ]
To be honest, the transformation process is a bit hard to describe, and the setting that he must say the name of the transformed image himself is also embarrassing for adults, but who is Akae Nazuki? He can even turn himself into a girl and pretend to be Nakahara Chuuya's wife to tease his friends. Transformation is a piece of cake.
When hearing the compliment from the sweetheart version of Hagiwara Kenji, if the occasion had not been wrong, Akae Nazuki would have simply turned around and agreed with satisfaction: Why, his outfit is indeed very cool, and the transformation is not the more fancy ones like those in magical girl anime, so he is already very satisfied.
Anyway, there is one thing that Chijiang Nayue will never forget - as long as he is not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed!
The reason why it seemed that he wanted Zero to forget this scene as well was because the ten-year-old Akae Nazuki had no memory of being persecuted by Dazai Osamu, and his sense of shame was much more likely to erupt than that of an adult. In order to fit the image, Akae Nazuki simply magnified his speechlessness into extreme shame.
So the person who appeared in front of Zero was the transfer student who, after his transformation, looked even darker than before on the playground. He saw that Akae Natsuki tried hard to keep a straight face but still revealed an embarrassed emotion in the corners of his eyes, and he also saw that the other party clenched his fists even tighter.
Ling, who had been trained in the organization for a year, was very aware of current affairs. He did not ask the other party why he became like this at this time, nor did he ask any questions about the villain in the corridor, although he had now confirmed that the sound he had heard earlier was made by that group of villains.
After all, Ling is still young. Even though he has tried hard to learn to control his emotions, he is already exhausted and seeing what is happening in front of him. In the end, he couldn't help but look at the chest where the egg had merged into Akae's moon body.
Looked again.
It really looks like the kind of anime about magical girls transforming that Mingmei used to watch. He thought silently in his heart.
"Ahem." The kid suddenly realized that his behavior seemed impolite, so he turned his head and cleared his throat, kindly pretending that nothing had happened. "Akae-kun, do you know how to deal with it?"
The good news is that this Zero doesn't seem to have been completely corrupted by the organization. It's just that his personality is a little colder than the normal 12-year-old Zero, and his bottom line is a little lower... Overall, the task of taking him out is still a lot easier.
Chijiang Nayue thought with satisfaction.
Of course, Akae Nayue was not standing still to watch the show. He successfully confirmed his initial guess based on Zero's dodging and counterattack in the critical moment. Then, with a little association based on the current timeline, it is not difficult to find out where the past related to Zero was changed.
He thought that about a year ago, when the Miyano couple accepted the invitation and chose to join the organization due to life pressure, Zero in this timeline was even lonelier than before because he had never become friends with Hiro, and finally chose to leave with the Miyano couple.
After that, regardless of whether the Miyano couple died according to the original development in the past, it is an indisputable fact that Zero, who was only in his teens, had already joined the organization.
Akae Natsuki thought again, when he was ten years old, he was still working for Karasuma Renya in the organization - come to think of it, could he kill Karasuma Renya again - but Kaluuya's existence was a secret, and Zero would not know that the transfer student was also a member of the organization.
From this perspective, it seems that the organization really likes to recruit child laborers.
In Zero's eyes, the transfer student was silent for a few seconds after hearing his question, and then said firmly with an expression that showed he hadn't thought about it at all: "Just beat it up."
Lingyi choked and strongly suspected that the other party was taking revenge. After all, if it weren't for that strange thing, the transfer student wouldn't have to look like this.
But he had just been made so upset, so of course Ling agreed with what Chijiang Nayue said!
Akae Nazuki and Matsuda Jinpei who were staying in the different space were also very satisfied - the clothes they had transformed into were very suitable for boxing, so isn't it normal to rely on fighting?
The other sweethearts along the corridor had nothing to say either. They did not transform with Chi Jiang and Na Yue, so naturally they could not get a word in at this time, although several of them vaguely felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this purification method.
As for Kenji, who was still hiding in the corner, secretly taking pictures with a look of satisfaction and anticipation on his face, it goes without saying that his eyes had already begun to light up. Fortunately, Akae Nayue was still busy dealing with the bad sweetheart, so she pretended not to notice him.
The only one who was dissatisfied was the Bad Sweetheart, who couldn't stand it anymore and threw five or six more black balls in mid-air. He screamed sharply, "No! Keep going! You are ignoring me!!"
This bad sweetheart was born with negative emotions about being ordinary and ignored by Sato, a classmate who is mediocre in everything. Just now, he was ignored by the two people below again. Listening to their conversation as if they were not paying attention to others, he couldn't bear it at all.
When the ball of light came at him, Zero instinctively wanted to jump away to dodge it. The previous moment was enough for him to realize that Bad Sweetheart's attack method was very monotonous, with only throwing balls of light. However, the ball of light had great destructive power, and the ground was already full of pits and holes. If he hadn't tried hard to dodge and not been hit head-on, who knows what would have happened.
But before Zero could drag his tired body to dodge, a hand reached out from the side, grabbed his wrist tightly, and then pulled hard in that direction.
Immediately afterwards, Ling saw that the point where he had originally planned to dodge had been hit by the black ball of light, and the green grass there was burnt.
His brain, which had been tense all the time, was stunned as he realized that his route of movement had been figured out by the thing in the air. He pursed his lips unwillingly.
This cannot be blamed on his lack of ability, it is just that the bad sweetheart is more difficult to deal with than Zero imagined when he first saw this thing.
After all, this is a bad sweetheart who was born out of the desire to "hate being ordinary", so it seems natural that she is very powerful.
Ling didn't know this, he just looked to the side along the hand that was holding him and found that Chijiang Nayue was just retracting and adjusting the boxing straps on her hands.
"Wait for me five minutes." Chijiang Nayue turned around and said seriously while looking at Ling.
The latter made a curious discovery: the right side of the black-haired boy's originally M-shaped bangs was now pinned back by a hairpin, and the clip was in the shape of a letter. He could vaguely see that it was a capital "J".
As for why he had to wait five minutes, Zero knew it without asking. He also knew that his current situation would only hinder the team, so he nodded without hesitation and turned around to run to the safe place where he had not been harmed by the bad sweetheart.
Akajina Yue, who stayed in the courtyard, raised her hand and touched her hairpin, then looked up at the dark-eyed bad sweetheart and realized that her enemy was going to continue attacking Zero who was running away.
"No, your opponent is here."
Chijiang Nayue pulled the corner of his mouth, and a somewhat arrogant smile gradually appeared on his face. Then, he took a step forward and bent his knees again to lower his center of gravity.
[Aka, it’s time to start!] Jinpei Matsuda cheered in his heart and shouted excitedly.
The next second, the ultra-cyan figure disappeared from the ground, leaving only a circle of expanding cracks where it had been standing. Bad Sweetheart looked at the ground blankly, unable to find where the disappearing figure had gone.
It was not until a shadow fell from its head that it belatedly looked up and met the eyes of the red moon with its back to the light.
That face looked particularly cold in the absence of light.
Apparently, Chijiang Nayue relied on his super jumping ability and air-staying ability after the transformation to flash directly above Bad Sweetheart's head. When the other party looked over, his fist had already been swung out with a hunting sound, leaving only an afterimage on Bad Sweetheart's retina (if it had such a thing), and then a burst of terrifying power knocked it down from mid-air, embedding it deeply into the ground of the courtyard, and then covered by the dust raised all around.
The person who was still suspended in the air slowly retracted his fist and blew away the non-existent dust.
"Did I go too far?" the transfer student asked.
Then, the bandaged hand raised a thumb, then slowly turned around and pointed downwards. Only his expression was still smiling willfully while he was doing this provocative action: "--Then I won't apologize either."
"I hate looking up at other people, so I'd like to trouble you to go to the ground."
...He even used honorifics. Zero thought.
In a corner that he didn't know about, the second-year graduate student had already covered his mouth and started to scream softly. It was obvious that he was really into this and was really impressed by how handsome he was.
The sweetheart version of Kenji Hagiwara who sees through the truth made a sharp comment: "She is definitely trying to pretend that she was influenced by Xiao Zhenping. In fact, she is saying what Xiao Nanyue wants to say."
They haven't seen this classic provocative scene of the arrogant little bastard for a long time, and they really miss it.
Hagiwara Kenji thought for a moment and added, "That gesture is the only one that Kojinpei did."
The others also agreed.
The fact is - it is true.
Chi Jiang Na Yue pretended that he could not rely on the link between him and Guardian Sweetheart to hear the voices of his friends discussing in the distance. He took advantage of the dust in the courtyard just fading a little, and his figure in the air flashed again and returned to the ground.
Bad Sweetheart pulled himself out of the pit screaming, and the hatred was finally transferred to Chijiang Nayue. The light ball that could make holes in the ground was also thrown towards him: "No, no, no!"
"Too slow, isn't it? You must be very bad at dodgeball." The black-haired boy who was targeted by intensive attacks did not panic at all. He moved briskly and seemed to have dodged the light ball very easily. He even put one hand in his pocket and raised the other hand to yawn.
Zero, who was watching the fight on the sidelines, suddenly narrowed his eyes: Strange, why do I feel like I've seen this move somewhere before today?
The bad sweetheart was obviously frightened by his leisurely strolling posture, and the newly condensed ball of light in her hand paused for a few seconds.
"Ah, you're done attacking?" the boy opposite it said, taking a half step back with his right leg, tilting his head slightly, and shaking the J-shaped hairpin in his hair twice. "Well, it's my turn next."
His fist hit the bad sweetheart again. While he felt relieved, the sharp-eyed Zero also found that the red cross on the top of the thing seemed to have several cracks due to this punch.
Only the other guardian sweethearts who knew what this meant fell into deep thought.
Is physical purification really possible? !
