Chapter 320 Seven Sweethearts
After transforming with Shugo Sweetheart, all communication can be done in the brain. It is because of this that Akae Nazuki learned about things related to purification from Matsuda Jinpei.
The bad sweetheart is first born from the bad egg, and there are two ways to deal with these two things: purify them or destroy them.
If the bad egg is smashed or the bad sweetheart is destroyed, the dream of the original owner of the egg will be shattered - since the people who can give birth to soul eggs are basically young children, and no one dares to bet on what a child's life will be like after he loses his expectations for the future.
Therefore, from the very beginning, the only option left for Akae and Nazuki was purification. However, the problem was that Matsuda Jinpei searched the knowledge base in his mind for a long time and embarrassingly did not find any explanation related to purification... Simply put, he didn't know how to do it.
Chijiang Nayuexia didn't think this was a problem at all. Anyway, if they had to compare, Bad Sweetheart was more destructive than Bad Guy and was much stronger. He could definitely figure out a way to purify himself in this first battle with Bad Sweetheart. It wasn't the first time he faced an unknown enemy.
Naturally, beating him with fists was the most likely plan that they, the big one and the small one, had secretly discussed in their minds.
"Actually, this is the first time I've done this." Chijiang Nayue held his chin with one hand and flattened the other hand, shaking his five fingers in front of his eyes. He looked at the black bandage on his fist thoughtfully and said to himself, "So that's how it is. Because this is a 'weapon' transformed from the energy after the transformation, it can be used as a medium to purify the bad sweetheart."
Then he knew what purification was. He just needed to pour clean power into it, literally cleansing the bad sweetheart or bad guy inside to purify him. However, only the power after transformation can do this, and infusion also requires a connecting medium, so he can only purify the enemy when he attacks with his own "weapon" after transformation.
For example, the 'punch' with Jinpei Matsuda after his transformation.
Chijiang Nayue couldn't help but think: What if the weapons of his two public security friends after transformation contain guns? Wouldn't the purification method become shooting at the bad sweethearts? To be honest, he felt a little sorry that Jinping Jun's weapon was not a bomb.
...Wait, it seems that it is possible. As soon as the thought came to his mind, Chijiang Nayue felt the mysterious power in his body materializing a bomb for him, and his mouth twitched.
If you know, you would think he is purifying them; if you don’t know, you would think he is sending them away.
The person next to him felt confused and didn't understand a word he said, but he still grasped the main point: "...Wait a minute, is this your first time encountering this thing too?!"
The blond kid's face no longer had the appearance of the top student he had been when they first met in class during the day, not to mention the ease with which he faced off against his opponent on the playground. His dusty appearance only made the sweethearts around him and Akagi Nazuki, who knew him, feel a subtle pity for him.
Especially at this moment, Zero successfully got past Akae Nazuki's seemingly calm and reliable surface and glimpsed the evil true character of this black-haired transfer student.
"Is it not possible? Even if it was the first time I encountered it, didn't I defeat it easily?" The transfer student in strange clothes asked calmly. His right hand, which was originally supporting his chin, stretched out to the side and blocked Zero's chest. With the other hand, he drew a square in the air at the bad sweetheart whose head had a red cross that began to fall into pieces.
He also gave a rough explanation to the victim who had been chased badly before: "Just smash the one on its head and it's over."
Zero looked suspiciously at the boy who was a head shorter than him. He had just seen clearly that the cross on the head of the thing called Bad Sweetheart was broken because this boy punched it hard several times, but now the other party didn't seem to have any intention of moving.
Are there any other means of attack?
[Great, thank you for thinking of this!] Jinpei Matsuda's sweet little man rubbed his hands excitedly in the alien space, his blue eyes shining brightly, [Let's make a deal first, you will be responsible for solving the problem with Hagi and Hiro later.]
[I'm just an elementary school student.] Chijiang Nayue snorted and emphasized.
What bad thoughts could a primary school student have?
The next second, when Bad Sweetheart was about to continue his attack, he was shocked to find that he had been surrounded without knowing when. He was surrounded by a pile of square black boxes with flashing red countdowns on them. It was a structure that looked very familiar to some people.
"Look, it's just like this." Akajenna Yue said slowly to Ling.
As the words fell, all the bombs around Bad Sweetheart exploded at the same time, but the aftermath of the explosion seemed to be trapped in a circle with a radius of one meter around Bad Sweetheart, without any exposure. Even the sound of the explosion was erased, and everyone only heard Bad Sweetheart's scream.
"Don't - ignore me -" it screamed as the red cross on its head finally broke into powder under the weight of the explosion. Miraculously, only the cross was broken, and the bad sweetheart seemed unharmed.
Even when the cross was broken, the darkness surrounding the bad sweetheart faded away like a tide under Zero's shocked gaze, and what appeared in front of them was a blond guardian sweetheart wearing a neat suit and with a confident demeanor.
"What is this?" Ling looked up at the sweetheart. His purple-blue eyes, which were always gloomy before, were now shining with pure curiosity that he himself had not noticed. This made him finally look like an ordinary twelve-year-old child. "Is it the same as the ones around you?"
Akajinazuki was not surprised at all that Zero saw Guardian Sweetheart. He had thought of this as early as when he discovered that Zero could hear Guardian Sweetheart's voice. At this time, the Guardian Sweethearts who were originally on the other side of the corridor also flew over and happened to hear Zero's question.
They didn't look too surprised.
"We are essentially the same, but we exist in different forms."
The one who explained it was a little man with black hair and blue eyes. Although he was a stranger, Zero felt a strong sense of familiarity and closeness from the guardian sweetheart. He looked to the side and found that he didn't recognize the little man with thick eyebrows, but the other one with blond hair and dark skin...
Zero felt that this group looked familiar—no, it wasn’t familiar at all, isn’t this what he looks like? ? !
The little man who explained it earlier continued, "In every child's heart there is a soul egg that nurtures dreams. If the dream is strong and firm enough, it will become a guardian angel like us. But most soul eggs only exist in the hearts of children until they become adults and disappear."
"Yes, I am Xiaoyong's 'dream self'." The sweetheart who had been smiling after being purified spoke at the right time, "I'm really sorry for causing trouble to you before!"
Zero's attention was drawn to him. He felt puzzled at first. He really couldn't remember who that Xiaoyong was. But when it came to things that happened before the bad sweetheart appeared, there was only that person who seemed to be his classmate - what was his name, Sato?
Then, after the sweetheart returned to the egg and flew away, Zero suddenly reacted.
"So the guardian angel is the owner's dream self." The blond boy's expression control collapsed at this moment, and he couldn't help but take a step back. The vigilance that had been suppressed before finally surfaced, "Then why do you not only have so many guardian angels, but they are all - police officers, and some look like me?"
After becoming Guardian Sweethearts, Furuya Rei and the others all wore the same police academy uniforms, so it's not surprising that Rei could recognize them.
Rather, Zero tried very hard to hold back the urge to complain about this, and asked in a different way, "Do you really want to be a police officer?!" Even if we don't mention this, what's going on with that sweetheart who looks more and more like him? Why does the transfer student's dream self have his face?
Just at this moment, the transformations of Akae Nazuki and Matsuda Jinpei were also lifted. At the same time, their clothes changed back to school uniforms. Curly, who had taken off his sunglasses, appeared by Akae Nazuki's ear, yawning, and flew up and down.
Zero finally realized why he felt the transfer student's yawning was familiar. It turned out that not only him, but also the Matsuda Jinpei he met in physical education class had the same yawning behavior.
Chi Jiang Na Yue did not answer him immediately, but just turned her face, which had become cold after she finished her transformation, away, as if waiting for him to figure out the answer himself.
Ling opened his mouth, the feeling of disharmony growing stronger and stronger, but he couldn't find the thread of disharmony, and the thoughts in his mind were almost tangled together.
He was pretty sure that this was the first time he had seen a transfer student in the class, not to mention the other party's guardian sweetheart, but why did he feel that the blue-eyed sweetheart with upturned eyes was very familiar, as if they... should have known each other a long time ago.
"That Yue..." Zhufu Jingguang poked his friend's face helplessly, "Don't bully others."
Just as he had sorted out before, the world they are in now is a distorted past. In the real past, Zero in front of him should have known Morobushi Kagemitsu who came to Tokyo from Nagano when he was seven years old. But now their lives have become two completely parallel lines with no intersection.
Because this past has been altered, Twelve Years Old Zero naturally feels familiar with Morofushi Kagemitsu, who he should have known at his age but never did.
But I don't have this feeling about Akae Nazuki and others, because the real Fūya Rei did not know Akae Nazuki and others when he was twelve years old.
Akajinazuki curled her lips and didn't let Zero continue to get entangled. She answered his previous question evasively: "This is Zero. The one you have been looking at is Hiro, and there are also Zhenping, Hang Ge and..."
Akae Nayue suddenly realized that Hagiwara Kenji was not here, and there were footsteps behind them, and the voices of an adult and a child talking could be heard faintly.
"Is it okay for me to go there? I really won't tell anyone."
"It's okay, it's okay~ Xiao Nayue will welcome you very much, after all, you are so cute!"
"Thank you? But I'm already twelve years old, I can't be described as cute."
Akae Nazuki and Ling turned their heads silently, and immediately saw the black-haired boy walking towards them, and the guardian sweetheart walking beside him, who looked the same as the boy with the medium-long hair style.
Hagiwara Kenji waved his hand leisurely: "Hey, little Nayue, I brought you a surprise~"
Next to Guardian Sweetheart, the familiar-looking boy hesitantly raised his hand to say hello, smiling at them with his eyes tilted: "Hi?"
Akajiang Nayue, who had already noticed a sight in the dark but didn't expect it to be a second-year student, took a deep breath.
"Hey, Hagi!" Matsuda Jinpei didn't notice the gloomy expression on his friend's face at all. He happily flew towards his childhood friend and the two of them high-fived. Then he moved his gaze to Xiao Kenji with a curious look, "Ah, he can see us too? But just looking at this face, it really is exactly the same as yours when you were a child."
Hagiwara Kenji puffed his cheeks in frustration and grumbled, "So I'm also confused. Since I'm in this school at this time, why didn't I become friends with Jinpei?"
He was attracted by the handsome face and straightforward personality of Xiao Zhenping when he was very young, and they became good friends very early on!
“…Forget it.” The transfer student gave up the idea of saying anything. He simply ignored everyone and walked away, trying to remain cool as he said, “I have something else to do. If you want to know anything, please follow me.”
Transformation consumes a lot of energy. He is in a hurry to eat lunch. He is starving!
