The black van, which looked suspiciously like it wanted to flee the scene of a fire, was approaching its destination halfway up a mountain road. The city of Maebashi spread out below them, and they could clearly see the flames brightly lighting up the night sky.
Sitting in the driver’s seat was a bespectacled man with strange eye, Kuriyama Rintaro, aka the Heinous Mysterious Death Green. Minato, who had not seen him for more than two weeks, stiffens in the passenger seat at the sudden reunion.
（I- I have to say something……! I’ve trained hard so please let me join the legion…… No, it’s weird to suddenly say something like that. Hey long time no see, I’ve been worried you know…… Uu, That’s not it either……!）
Many thoughts were going round and round in her head. There were many things she wanted to ask Rintaro and many things she wanted to tell him.
But when they finally met face to face, it’s as if she couldn’t remember how they’ve had a normal conversation before.
When she glanced next to him, she saw that he was gripping the steering wheel and sipping a can of coffee with a straight face, as usual. He did not seem to notice that a maiden’s gaze was fixed on his profile and nape.
「Hey Minato. You’ve been away for a while now…… did something happened?」
「Hahyi!」
Minato’s little heart jumped up when she was unexpectedly called out. At the same time, she caught a knife in mid-air and hid it under her sleeve.
「U- Umm…… That…… Monyumonyu……」
When she turned her head away, she saw her own crimson, tearful face reflected in the passenger seat window.
「It seems like you were with Samecchi, but…… Could it be, you were avoiding me?」
Wrong! That’s not the case at all! As soon as she opened my mouth to deny, a wail echoed through the narrow interior of the car.
「Bearion-samaaaaaaa!!!! Aaaa, what have you become!!!!」
Minato, who had been interrupted from the conversation, looked over to the back seat and saw Colonel Usanyi-chan ooh-ing and aah-ing while clutching a small crystal.
「Aah, because I wasn’t by your side!! I will definitely… avenge your enemies with my own hands, and I will offer their heads in front of your grave for you to see, Bearion-sama!!」
「Colonel Usanyi-chan, Ojiki isn’t dead yet, ssuyo.」
『That’s right, Usanyi! Well, it seems like you are fine so that’s good, Gahahahaha!!』
「Bearion-sama…… Beaariioonn-samaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!」
In the backseat, Colonel Usanyi-chan, who was so distraught that it looked like her previous coolness was a lie, was having her nose blown by Samecchi.
A cardboard box is placed carefully next to Samecchi, containing a large number of crystals. The erased members of the Hundred Beast Army were trapped inside each of the small crystals.
『Are we going to stay like this for the rest of our lives, nyaan!?』
『Uu…… I can no longer get out of here, wan…… It’s frustrating, wan……』
「Don’t be so pessimistic. They were trying to hold you hostage, so there must be a way to get you out」
「Just like aniki said, ssuyo! If you try various things, it will work out eventually, ssu!」
Gachi! Gachi! Gachi!
Saying this, Samecchi slammed the crystals against each other.
『Gufuh! St- Stop it, nyan! We’ll die before we get rescued, nyanzo!』
『……I- It hurts, wan…… I got a bump, wan…… I am so vexed, wan……』
However, not a single crack appeared in the crystal. On the contrary, only the mysterious being inside suffered unreasonable damage.
「What an amazing hardness…… If it’s like this, with my full-power drop kick usagi (shoot)……」
「That’s right, there is that kind of solution, ssu! As expected, Colonel Usanyi-chan is so smart~~ ssu!」
『You guys should stop that, Even I cannot withstand that attack.』
Rintaro thinking that it would be bad if they actually try it, stepped hard on the gas pedal.
Although the Maebashi branch suffered devastating damage, it was fortunate that they were able to get in touch with the nearby base. Now, they must calm down as soon as possible and work out future plans.
「There is also Mayuzumi…… Geez. Though that girl seems like she would be able to escape on her own.」
「With this hardness, as expected, it’s impossible right?」
Minato borrowed one of the crystals and tried sharpening it with a knife, but it was so hard that the blade chipped off. However, Minato had one thing in mind when she looked at the black shine of the crystal.
「No wait, this is…… By any chance……」
It is a memory that she did not want to recall, a memory of the time when she was once a prisoner in the underground detention facility at The Hero Headquarters.
The top-secret underground mysterious being facility, also known as the Hero Headquarters Research and Development Office. It is the center of science in Japan, where research into the mechanisms of the mysterious being’s body is conducted day and night.
Needless to say, Minato, who had an extremely unique constitution among the mysterious beings held captive there, was an excellent research subject.
Only a seemingly cold-looking bespectacled woman wearing a suit instead of a lab coat took care of Minato’s body. However, most of the researchers seemed to think of Minato, a mysterious being, as little more than an experimental animal.
Every day she was forced to produce dozens of swords. When she refused, she was electrified or injected with chemicals she did not understand.
In the two years before she was guided to escape by the bespectacled woman in question, she had created a staggering 10,000 swords. Most of them were deployed as armaments for heroes, but there was one sword in particular that was considered the best of all.
――The name of the black sword was “Kuroageha”――
The inscription on the black sword is “Kuroageha”, The sword that was created by the mysterious being can be said to be the mysterious being’s natural enemy, because it neutralizes the mysterious being’s cells.
t used to be the unique armament of Victor Black, the “black light that cuts through the darkness”. Currently, it is a mysterious being-killing magical sword that is kept under strict guard at the Asagaya temporary headquarters.
The black glow that the black swallowtail gives off, as if ink had been poured into a clear stream, is very similar to the crystals that confine the little mysterious being.
「I see, it’s that sword……」
The commonality between Kuroageha and the crystals were that they were both produced from the body of a mysterious being.
「Minato, what’s wrong, ssuka? A stomachace, ssuka?」
「Rescuing the mysterious beings from this crystal…… I may have found a clue.」
「Is that true, Medic Minatooo!!!?」
From the back seat, Colonel Usanyi-chan and Samecchi leaned out between the driver and passenger seats. Colonel Usanyi-chan’s eyes were red and bloodshot, as if she was clinging to a straw.
「Miss! Hurry up and let me know! Hurry up!」
「A- Aah…… That, I am no sure yet……」
It was a kind of intuition as a doctor who had examined many mysterious beings. If she was wrong, she might be wasting his time. Her guess might also turn out to be fatal.
Anxieties briefly crossed her mind, but Minato let out a sigh, then gathered his courage and stammered out a few words.
「I don’t know how it happened, but it’s highly likely that the inactivation of the mysterious being’s cells is the cause, including the fact that the body has become smaller…… I think.」
The two mysterious beings were listening intently to Minato’s speculation. Rintaro was also waiting for her words while concentrating on driving. Minato continued to speak, feeling her heart beating faster, perhaps because she was not used to being the center of attention.
「Before, there have been a medicine that instantly healed the wounds cut by Kuroageha. It’s the one Rintaro got from General Zazoma, and that should work… maybe.」
「「「…………」」」
After a short pause, Rintaro was the first to open his mouth.
「Okay, I guess it’s worth a try. The only problem is that I’d have to go back to the secret base to get the medicine……」
「Samecchi had thought that this kind of thing might happen, ssu!」
As soon as she said it, Minato’s hand got wet with the liquid medicine released from Samecchi’s hand. Rintaro, who was holding his steering wheel, was startled when he saw it.
「Samecchi, could that be」
「Fufufu, ssu, There might be another enemy just like Victor Black after all. Keiko and Daihaku are basics, ssu.」
「Who the hell are those people. You mean Trends and Countermeasures (Keikōtotaisaku). That’s not it, if you do it right now……」
「Rintaro…… Somehow, this…… It’s getting hot.」
The next moment, the black crystal glowed white and cracks appeared on the surface that was so hard.
「Nyaaaaaaaaan!!!!」
What popped out from inside was a completely naked girl. In no time at all, the girl’s body returned to its original size, from the size of the palm of her hand.
The cat girl was released in the palm of Minato’s hand, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and as she turned back to normal, recoiled toward Rintaro in the driver’s seat.
Unexpectedly, Rintaro’s (driver) view was completely covered by a plump chest that didn’t match her face
「Puhah! I thought I was going to die, nyan naa!」
「No wait wait wait we’ll die we’ll die we’ll die!!!!」
The van, which was running at high speed, made contact with the guardrail at the edge of the cliff, sending sparks flying. The side mirror burst open and rolled down the cliff, which was at least several dozen meters high.
With his vision completely shut out, Rintaro skillfully stepped on the gas pedal and brake, leaving black tire tracks on the mountain roads of Gunma. After just barely avoiding the precipitous cliff below, the van wobbled back into the driving lane.
「Don’t bump into me while driving! We were almost scrapped under the cliff!」
「That was inevitable, nyanna!! That was sexual harassment, nyanzo! You should be slack-jawedly happy with your nose stretched out, nyan!!」
「How can I be happy in a situation like this?!!」
Minato and Samechi did not miss the profile of Rintaro, who looked a little happy while saying such things.
But there was something else that really should not have been missed.
「I will help you now, Bearion-sama! I’ll also send everyone else out right away!!」
In the backseat of the van, which has a capacity for seven people, more than 30 crystals glowed white. All the mysterious beings trapped inside were released at once.
「Nuooooooo!! Stupid Usanyiiiiiiiiii!!」
「I am sorry, Bearion-samaaaaa!!」
「Mugyuuuuuu!」
This is the exact picture of pandemonium in hell.
Everything in the car was quickly crushed by overpopulation. Of course, the driver’s seat was no exception.
「Uwaaaa! What is this!? There’s something like a jiggly log on both of my shoulders!!」
「Oh sorry brother. That’s my thigh.」
「Th- Then…… this squishy stick-shaped thing hitting the nape of the neck is……」
「That was inevitable! It’s something called sexual harassment, Gahahahaha!!!」
Minato and Samecchi didn’t miss Rintarō’s profile, which turned bluish-green from deep despair.
