Author’s Note:

※Just in case some of you have forgotten. As of episode 63, I had moved back the time about 20 minutes to the past.

The innermost part of Shiroyume hideout - Shiroyume’s boss room

“...it’s so quiet.”

“Yeah.”

“Are they really coming?”

“I'm sure they’ll come. If that person wants to fight me, there's no better time than now.”

“I see…. By the way, is that kid going to be okay?…”

“Himiko has a 98% accuracy in her future prediction. If it’s him… I’m sure he’ll be able to acquire new powers and help us achieve our goal.”

………………………

A call came from Line via the wireless transceiver that Kiryu has.

“They’re…here…”

“Ahh. Then...I’ll go greet them for a bit...”

“Godspeed, my friend…”

--Byakkotai

At the back of the room where the squad of Byakkotai had been taken by Genji, there stood a beautiful, slender woman.

Her lustrous hair was so long that it almost touched the ground. And at her feet, two of her fellow Byakkotai members were lying on the ground. However, both of them had expressions of ecstasy on their faces.

The moment all sixteen members of the Byakkotai entered the room, the door of the room was closed.

“Were you the one who did this to my people?”

Madarame was spellbound by the beauty of the woman. So much that he wasn’t even able to care about the safety of his fallen comrades.

“That's right. I gave them a little of something nice, and they fell asleep immediately…”

She was wearing a bodysuit with a large opening at the chest. With a bewitching smile on her face, she raised her glasses in a gesture that caused the members of the Byakkotai to gasp.

“I'm Vendetta, one of Kuroyume's numbers. Do you guys also want...to do something nice?”

――Lieutenant General Senzaki

As Senzaki entered the building, he heard the sound of a fierce battle. Not knowing that the sound was from Yone’s gift, he went in the direction of the sound and arrived at a room.

Inside the room…

“You are… Kuroyume’s number 2, Jiren the Molten Flame!?”

“I'm surprised you know me. ......hmm? Are you Lieutenant General Senzaki? I didn't expect the commander of this operation himself to show up. That was unexpected.”

Senzaki knew that there was a high probability that Kuroyume would be involved this time, but he didn't expect that it would be a member of the Numbers and that Jiren, the number two, would be there.

“Why would Kuroyume's number two... Of course, our information was leaked, so it's not strange that Kuroyume, who is on friendly terms with Shiroyume, would help out but…”

“Then it's nothing strange that I'm here, right? Now, do you want to get down to business? Or would you like to enjoy some more conversation?”

“...no, I have nothing to say to an enemy. I'm worried about the others so let's quickly... meet your death.”

Senzaki pulled out a sword from its scabbard. The sword was as long as a clothesline.

“Hmm... looks like I got the jackpot... Let's go!!”

--Kojirou and Marin [Yellow and White].

Yellow and White held each other's hands tightly as they made their way through the hideout. There was a fork in the road on the way, but they went the same way together and reached the room.

The place they entered was...

“I’m glad you finally made it....... What the-? Why are you guys holding hands?”

A hooded Takahiko(Evil) was waiting for them.

“Tsk, you’re not Bright…”

“Looks like it. Well then, Let's take him down quickly and find Bright.”

And they stare at each other.

Why are you staring at each other in front of Evil, an enemy? The two of them had built a world of their own, so much so that he was stunned...

“Why is this lovey-dovey couple coming to my place~!”

--In front of Shiroyume hideout

Blue was depressed while Sagara encouraged him. In the midst of this strange development, two people suddenly appeared...

A ray of light shines down from the heavens. Then, wrapped in that light, they appeared.

One of them is Mizutani Fuuka, captain of the Byakkotai.

And then another person is…

“I am! Air Force General of the National Defense Force! I am Onijima Heikichi ！！！！！”

The one who shouted with an eardrum-destroying blast was Onijima Heikichi, NDF’s Air Force General. It was the hero Onijima.

“Phew~, that's it. This is the third time I've done the instantaneous transfer, but I guess I'll never get used to it…”

There is no shortage of legends about Onijima.

He was the first person in Japan to manifest gift. With his powerful and unrivalled abilities, he had destroyed many phenoms and fought as the flag bearer of humanity's counterattack, becoming a specialist that no one in the world does not know of his name and legends.

For example, he slaughtered a 50-meter-tall gorilla single-handedly.

For example, he single-handedly slaughtered the dragon that brought down one other nation.

He is a true hero of Japan, having left behind many legends that are unthinkable to ordinary people, such as the one about how he single-handedly slaughtered 10,000 troops of the phenom.

That Onijima, why did he appear in this place? It was for......

A jet-black mass came down from the sky. As it landed, it caused the ground to cave in.

“…glad you could make it, Hero Onijima.”

“HOHOHOH, I wanted to see you, Kiryu, the Demon King.”

The person who appears is the demon king of Kuroyume, Kiryu Shinichirou.

There is also no shortage of legends about Kiryu.

From the time he manifested his gift, he was highly regarded for his abilities, and as a member of the NDF, he had defeated phenoms in numerous operations. In the human campaign to retake the major cities from phenoms, he had many successes.

He was called a hero, along with Onijima, but in battle, his face was obscured by the helmet of Lonsdaleite, so he was not well known to the general public. On top of that, at some point, Kiryu left NDF, gathered the filths and formed an organization, and now reigns at the top of Kuroyume, Japan's largest and most powerful filth organization, so all of his military achievements from his time in the National Defense Force had been covered up.

Still, there's no way that they could silence everyone in the know…

For example, he was the one who put an end to ‘Unknown’, aka the progenitor of phenoms.

For example, he single-handedly defeated 100 of the most veteran soldiers in the National Guard.

He is a true demon king who has left behind many legends that are unthinkable to ordinary people, such as betraying his organization and turning a neighbouring country, both near and far, into scorched earth by himself.

The two of them stared at each other. However, just from their expressions, they were smiling at each other. It's as if they were excited to be reunited with a powerful opponent and to start the biggest battle of all time.

An unbelievable battle was about to unfold... Blue and Sagara, at a loss and with no place to flee to, just stood there and cowered in fear.

“Sorry I'm late, Seaman Sagara. ...where is everyone else?”

“Eh? Ah… Yes! All the others have entered the hideout with Madarame!”

Fuuka, who was also the captain of the Byakkotai, heard the details of the situation from Sagara and Blue.

And then…

“I'm going in. Blue-san and Seaman Sagara, you stay here and wait for me.”

“N-No, I know you're strong. I know you're higher in rank than I am. But it's against my policy to put a lady in harm's way…”

“You're under orders from a higher authority [Lieutenant General Senzaki] than me, aren't you? In NDF, orders from above are absolute. ...I understand your feelings, but I need you to stand by…”

Blue, who could not resist being told so, still had one thing he wanted to say to Fuuka.

“About Suou Kouki... please forgive us for letting him die because of our shallow actions...and for making you depressed.”

On that day, Blue saw Fuuka became a shell of her former self after losing Kouki. And the same goes for Sagara.

Fuuka stopped, then turned around.

“It's okay. I... came here with the determination to fight for him as well, so…”

Fuuka said this with a smile, but Blue realized that deep down there was still a lingering emotion lying dormant.

Then Onijima called out to Fuuka.

“You'll be fine! Fuuka! After all, you're my granddaughter!”

“Fufufu…that's right. I'm the granddaughter of Onijima Heikichi. I can't dwell like this forever...”

Before coming here, Fuuka had been persuaded by Onijima. To be strong….

She didn’t want to see another victim like Kouki again. She also didn’t want there to be people like her who were grieving the loss of their loved ones. With this in mind, Fuuka went to the battlefield.

And...with a hidden emotion buried in her heart, Mizutani Fuuka also headed for her own battle.

Author’s Note:

A summit battle out of nowhere!? Aren’t the two of them overshadowing the others!?
