The Heinous Mysterious Death Green ~The Most Sinister Hero, Warmly Welcomed by The Wicked Organization~ - Chapter 36

By Effugium August 24, 2022

Christmas Eve would come tomorrow, December 23rd.

The month of December, commonly referred to as “Shiwasu[1]“, everyone was busy bustling about. Kuriyama Rintaro, a.k.a. Death Green, a mysterious being of the evil secret society Ark Dominion, was one of them

「Taakotakotako, I am Mollusk Mysterious Being Takoranchu!　Take this Sumibazooka!」

「Blast!」

「Hohoho, My name is Clock Mysterious Being Okurookun. With my ability to stop time」

「Blast!」

「Bunbuun!　My name is Explosive Speed Mysterious Being Dodoaccel!　Against me with my speed」

「Blast!」

One by one, the mysterious beings are being blown up and retrieved. Protecting stray mysterious beings is one of the most important jobs of the Ark Dominion.

「Aniki, You kept blasting, ssu!」

A cute girl in a blue hoodie looks up at Rintaro as he walks next to her, carrying dynamite that doesn’t quite fit her cute face. She may look like an elementary school student, but she is also an evil mysterious being. The evidence of this was the sharp, pointy fangs peeking out from the girl’s thin lips, which were not human-like at all.

She is the youngest member of the secret society Arc Dominion, and is called Sametchi by the mysterious beings around her. She claims that the villainous mysterious being Death Green will become a great mysterious being in the future, and follows him around everywhere, calling him “Aniki”.

「Listen, Samechi. Blowing things up with no questions asked is also a great tactic. It’s a fool’s errand to challenge a fat person with a big meal after all. You don’t have to go out of your way to fight them on their best field.」

「Ooh, that was Soonshi(I don’t know who this is supposed to be)’s word, ssune!」

「Did he really have a name that sounds like a Chinese youkai?」

Rintaro and Samecchi have been working tirelessly for the past few days to “protect” the stray mysterious beings that escaped after the recent attack on the detention facility. It was the mission given to them by the organization to welcome the stray mysterious beings into the Ark Dominion.

Of course, they don’t always use force, but mysterious beings are very bloodthirsty. This is especially true for those who have been subjected to inhumane treatment in underground detention facilities for years. If they were to fight it out, they would not be able to survive.

「The next sighting info is on Sayama Lake.」

「Hmm, a lake huh… Are there any exposed high voltage power line nearby?」

「There doesn’t seem to be any, ssune. It’s a scenic spot, ssukaranee.」

「Then I suppose we will blast again this time.」

Not being able to survive the fight was just a pretext, but his real intention behind doing it this way was that it would be quicker. In addition, this was one of Rintaro’s best “method”.

The methods are diverse, but the objective is consistent. To subdue them in the shortest and fastest time possible, before they can resist and cause damage to the city and its people. This is what The National Public Safety Commissions Committee, Local Human Disasters, Special Cases, Special Measures Office should be doing.

Kuriyama Rintaro was once a skilled hero who arrested more mysterious beings than anyone else. His rough and rugged ways are not to be admired, but the skills he developed as a hero are now being wielded for an evil secret society.

「This is the last one for today. I just want to get this over with and go home to bed.」

「Samecchi also wants to sleep with Aniki, ssu.」

「Don’t ever say that in front of other people because it can cause misunderstanding.」

Leaving the recovery of the bombed-out mysterious being to the low-level fighters, the two of them got into the car and headed for their next destination.

…………。

”Lake Sayama.”

As can be seen from its official name, Yamaguchi Reservoir, this is an artificially created dam lake. Adjacent to a natural park and known as a scenic spot, it is the water reservoir of West Tokyo.

There was no sign of the mysterious being anywhere on the calm surface of the lake, which stretched out as far as the eye could see.

「There are nobody, ssune.」

「Maybe they moved somewhere else. Let’s plant a bomb for the time being……」

Just then, the surface of the lake seemed to surge, and a large mysterious being appeared in front of Rintaro and the others. His entire body was covered in hard scales, and his wide mouth was lined with fangs like the tips of spears.

「Gushasha! I am Large Jaws Mysterious being, Panicdile-san! As soon as you enter my territory, I’ll bite you all with my massive jaws!!」

「Blast!」

「It hasn’t been set up yet, ssu!」

「Right. Then we’ll have to use force.」

As he said this, Rintaro pulled out a palm-sized machine from his coat jacket. The V emblem shines brightly, it was the “Death Green Transformation Gear,” the transformation device that turns Rintaro, a “human”, into an evil mysterious being.

「I’m sorry, but I think I’m going to have to let you sleep a little bit, Panicdile-san. Victory Change!」

The moment Rintaro held his Death Green Transformation Gear–.

Zabaaaahhhh… ！！！！！

「Gusha?!」

「What!?」

Suddenly, the surface of the lake cracked open.

A giant hand emerged from the lake with a splash, grabbed Panic Dile’s tail and threw it into the air.

「Gushashaaaa?! Whaaaat?!」

Like the surfacing of a submarine, a huge sword rises from the center of the lake. As the sword swung with a boom, the body of the crocodile mysterious being that had been hit was flung further into the sky.

「Waniiiiiiiiiiii!!!」

「「Panicdile-saaaaaaaaaan!!!」」

Panicdile exploded and scattered like fireworks without anything to show.

「This guy is…… This is bad……」

「Awawawawa, ssu……」

A steel giant appeared in front of Rintaro’s eyes, splitting Lake Sayama. It had a thick, solid body and a huge sword that was as tall as he was. And a huge “V” emblem shining on his chest.

『『『『Did you see it, the V sign of victory!!!』』』』

That shout of victory is too familiar to Rintaro. It’s the final weapon of the Victory Sentai Victor Rangers, which Rintaro had ridden in many times before.

It was  a huge robot with a total height of 60 meters 『Bakusho Ou, King Victory』.

『Ha-ha-ha-ha!　I knew you’d show up if I hung around here, Heinous Mysterious Death Green!　It’s worth spending all day at the bottom of the lake, hiding like a snail!』

King Victory’s eyes flickered, and a familiar voice roared from the heavens. In the cockpit sat the four warriors who had once trusted their backs to Rintaro.

Sixty broken bones all over his body, and diagnosed by the doctors as requiring six months of total recovery! Covered with casts and bandages having more white area than blue, Victor Blue!

These days, lack of sleep due to stress has made her skin flaky! Whenever she hear the word “zombie,” she vomit, so she bring her etiquette bag with her, Victor Pink!

He’s lost 85 pounds by overdosing on dietary supplements! He’s far below average weight, his suit is too bulky, and on the verge of starvation, Victory Yellow!

Just the other day, he was so reckless that he burned both my arms! And because of a pay cut, he had only eaten bread crusts this week, Victor Red!

They are the elite heroes who belong to the Tokyo Headquarters, and they are the ones who showed their full wounds with all five of their bodies. They are the Victory Sentai Victor Rangers!

「Don’t shake too much, ze…… It hurts my bones, ze……」

「I am a human, I am a human, I am an unmistakable human created by God……」

「……Go……Gowa……Shyu……」

「I’m sorry, everyone!　But this is our best chance to defeat Death Green!　Lend me your victory power!」

What more power can be squeezed out of them when they are already like squeezed husks. The vicious feudal lord who mercilessly collect tribute from farmers suffering from poor harvests was also on the decline. Even gum chewed for half a day might be able to squeeze a little more flavor.

However, they are the strongest heroes, Victor Ranger.

They can get back on their feet with their guts, even if they had been injured in a way that would make an ordinary hero falter.

…… Strictly speaking, they got up with guts, painkillers, antidepressants, and intravenous fluids!

A huge sword with a 40-meter blade approaches Rintaro and his friends with a ‘Guoooon’.

「Let’s run, Samechiiiiii!!」

「Using that kind of thing is a foul, ssuuuuuuuuuuu!!」

Just in case, Rintaro rolled into the idling car and stepped on the gas pedal. A moment later, a huge sword gouged out the parking space where they had just been.

Rintaro escaped like a rabbit, but the speed of the car was only 100 kilometers per hour at most. At this rate, he would soon be overtaken.

「Damn it, why?　There is no way King Victory can move properly with them in such a state!」

「Aniki! Giant form(Giantification?), ssu! We should face them with our giant form, ssu!」

If he was an ordinary mysterious being, he would probably turn into a giant at this point and fight back. But as a human, Rintaro doesn’t have that ability. Rather, he doesn’t understand the mechanism behind his transformation.

「Aniki, this, ssu!　This drug will transform you into a giant form, ssu!」

Samecchi then took out a huge pill from his backpack. On the surface of the overtly suspicious pill, there was a carefully drawn large skull symbol. At first glance, it looked like a bad drug, or rather, it’s doubtful whether or not it’s a medicine.

「It has a weird color though, is that really safe to be consumed?」

「It’s okay, ssu!　It seems like the whole body would hurt after the effect expires, ssukedo!」

「What do you mean by ‘seems like’?」

「Because there hasn’t been any mysterious beings who survived after using this drug, ssu!」

「See, doesn’t that mean it’s not okay!? Is my standard wrong!?」

The sound of doshin doshin mixed with the sound of a fully revving engine approached. When he looked in his rearview mirror, he saw a 60-meter tall giant robot running after him. When he was a hero, he used to ride it around casually, but Rintaro felt a chill run down his spine as he realized how terrifying it was to be the enemy.

At that moment, the huge sword in the hands of the Steel Titan, the “Ultimate Victory Sword”, lit up.

It was the “Ultimate V Slash”, the super sure-kill move that has buried many mysterious beings. In the event that you can avoid a direct hit at this distance, the shockwave will probably reduce your car to dust.

When the giant robot unexpectedly appeared, he suddenly found himself in a state of absolute despair. Just when it seemed that this was the end, Samecchi in the passenger seat shouted.

「Samecchi has made up her mind, ssu! Aniki, Please close your eyes for a bit, ssu!」

「As you may have noticed, I’ m behind the wheel of a car going 100 km/h right now!」

As soon as Rintaro retorted, Samecchi’s body shone with a dark light.

「Wait a minute……, did you take that drug?」

「Noo, ssu!　It’s embarrassing so please don’t look too much, ssu! Perverted Aniki, ssu!」

「It’s not that. if you drink it now……」

Suddenly, Samecchi in the passenger seat grew larger.

As the weight increased, the car in motion tilted to the left with a ‘gakun’. The windshield shattered under the internal pressure, and the doors fell off with a dull thud. Then, with a sound like splintering raw wood, the car’s ceiling peeled off.

「Saaaameeeeeee!」

Because Fanged Shark Mysterious Being Samegaro, originally Samecchi, turned into a giant form. Rintaro’s car turned into a convertible and crashed into the guardrail with huge sparks flying.

「Vi- Victory Change!!」

A green light enveloped Rintaro’s body as he quickly prepared his Death Green Transformation Gear. Rintaro was thrown out of the car with an inarticulate scream and rolled on the hard asphalt, hitting his entire body hard. If his transformation had been delayed even for a moment, the human Rintaro would have turned into a miserable corpse.

「Samecchi…… If you are going to turn into your giant form, tell aniki first okay? Because Aniki would die.」

「I aam soorryy, ssuuuu.」

The giant shark mysterious being apologized profusely and confronted the giant robot.
