The Heinous Mysterious Death Green ~The Most Sinister Hero, Warmly Welcomed by The Wicked Organization~ - Chapter 45

By Effugium October 25, 2022

Charismatic Evil, Dragaeus III. Three powerful executives, Bearion, Zazoma, and Tagaraak. Not many organizations would be willing to fight against the Ark Dominion, a secret society with numerous mysterious beings in its ranks.

However, on that day, all of the branches of the Ark Dominion, which had been set up as the bridgehead for the Great Kanto War, were destroyed one after another.

Fortunately, most of the mysterious beings had left, so there were no fatalities, but the office was demolished without a trace, and several people were seriously injured.

Without confronting them directly, they would hit them right where it hurts the most. It was just like the deeds of the infamous hero, Victor Green, who was called the “Green Criminal”.

「That’s ridiculous.」

Rintaro looked over the reports from all over the country, which could be seen as letters of challenge, and muttered to himself as he held his head in his hands.

「But Samecchi also, thinks that this way of doing things is similar to Victor Green」

「……Listen, Samecchi. There’s no way in hell that Victor Green is still alive.」

Yes, the green criminal Victor Green has already been sent to the afterlife by Death Green. Kuriyama Rintaro, also known as the heinous mysterious Death Green, is Victor Green himself.

If the culprit in question is Victor Green, it is nothing more than the work of a doppelganger.

Rintaro and Samecchi visited a dark clinic in the suburbs of Omiya, Saitama Prefecture, to talk to the mysterious being who was in the office at the time of the incident.

Of course, mysterious beings cannot receive treatment at ordinary medical institutions. That’s why they have their own network of yami-isha (dark doctors) all over the country.

At the clinic, there was a group of handcuffed mysterious beings brought in from the Omiya branch.

「Hey, Mister Death Green…… Sorry for showing you such an ugly sight.」

Said a slender man with bandages all over his body. He didn’t recognize him right away because of his human form, but he was the cheetah-like gentleman who had helped Rintaro and Bearion in the previous battle.

It is impossible to differentiate them from humans, and even with the information network of the Hero Headquarters, the reality of the mysterious being organization is not something that can be easily exposed.

Considering this, it is strange that the Ark Dominion office was targeted so quickly and with such pinpoint accuracy.

It’s true that some of the characteristics of mysterious beings can be seen in human form, such as Samecchi’s fangs and Colonel Usanyi’s bunny ears. The man in front of them, Cheetiger, was now, a human being no matter how you look at him.

「Sir…… I saw the culprit through my own eyes, de saa……!」

「Take your time. Tell me what you see.」

「It was early this morning, de saa.……」

Cheetiger began to talk about his attackers, his shoulders shaking with a pale face.

It seems that the Hundred Beast Legion was busy from early morning to secure the bridgehead, and they were bringing in food, sleeping bags and other daily necessities to the office. When Cheetiger returned to the office after driving out to buy groceries, he found that there was no reply from the people who had been staying at the office, which made him puzzled at first.

However, from inside the office, he could definitely hear the presence of people moving.

When he opened the door, he found a young woman standing there, looking suspicious.

When he thought his eyes met the woman’s, he had already been slashed in 30 places all over his body, and while he was unconscious, the entire office was blown up.

As he listened to the story, Rintaro was impressed that mysterious beings are as sturdy as ever. At the same time, the part about the “young woman” stuck with him.

「Can you tell me more about this woman?」

「Yes, she was the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. …… She was kind of like a goddess.」

「I don’t need your personal opinion. Tell me what you see on the outside.」

「She has beautiful white hair……, no, I think it was silver……, and sky blue eyes with a bit of a sharp look…….」

「Wait, you don’t have to say anything else. I understand it well.」

Rintaro pressed his mouth with his hand and remembered a certain person. A woman with silvery-white hair and sky-blue eyes.

There is only one person in the hero business whose appearance matches his or her characteristics, and that’s her. She is still supposed to be studying in the hero school, so why?

No, he doesn’t care about such trivial questions.

What Rintaro care about is, “that Mayuzumi Kirika” stands against him as an enemy, that fact is a big problem.

「Aniki, your complexion doesn’t look good, ssu. Could it be, Aniki has an idea of who she is?」

「Yeah, well, un, a little bit.」

It’s not more than an idea of who she is going on. She is…… Mayuzumi Kirika is Rintaro Kuriyama’s “natural enemy”.

………………

…………

……

It all started about two years ago, when Rintaro was still a trainee at the Hero School. It was the spring of Rintaro’s second year at the school, and it all started with a rumor that there was an unbelievable person among the new students that year.

The woman who had entered the school had immediately changed the school’s all-time record for heroes, had earned the name of genius, and was also young and extremely beautiful.

In an instant, Mayuzumi Kirika became the central figure not only of the underclassmen but also of the Tokyo Hero School. It was only a matter of time before the underclassmen elevated Kirika to the status of a god.

「I’ll take your luggage, Kirika-sama!」

「You look beautiful again today, Kirika-sama!」

「Hey, you upperclassmen, you’re too arrogant towards Kirika-sama!」

「Cleaning?　Senior students should do that!　We have Kirika-sama here!」

Because of the two-year system and the fact that the students are of different ages and backgrounds, the Hero School has traditionally been prone to conflicts between upperclassmen and underclassmen. Mayuzumi Kirika, the absolute charismatic figure of the underclassmen, became the perfect balance breaker in this situation.

「I won’t let those upperclassmen make a big show of themselves!　If Kirika-sama is here, those guys are no match for us!」

「Hey Kirika-sama, let’s silence senior students who have only mouths and no achievements or abilities.」

「Do you know that the guy who unites the upperclassmen is called Krillin, and he has eyes like a ditch. I feel sorry for the upperclassmen, don’t you?」

「Oh, is he the one with the creepy smile? Compared to Kirika-sama, he’s a rather plain and unremarkable mob. Unlike the underclassmen, the upperclassmen don’t have any flowers.」

The underclassmen raised Mayuzumi Kirika as their banner and grew in stature day by day. Finally, at the annual school sports festival held in May, they made an absurd request to the senior students.

『If an underclassman beats an upperclassman, they must do whatever they are told.』

The upperclassmen, including Kurenai Retto, were angered by the irreverent attitude of the underclassmen.

「The rising arrogance of the underclassmen has been too much!　We have to win this game and give them strict guidance as upperclassmen!」

「That’s right, That’s right!」

「But what should we do if we lose? Rather, I don’t think we can win.」

「Even if we try, we can’t compete with Mayuzumi Kirika……」

「Even if that’s true, if we run from a fight that’s been offered to us, that would hurt the prestige of the upperclassmen!」

It was true that if they tried to avoid the game, the underclassmen would get even more upset. Although the game was being played in an unreasonable manner, the upperclassmen had no choice but to accept it.

However, in the face of the overwhelming presence of Mayuzumi Kirika, the victory of the upperclassmen seemed hopeless.

「Let’s accept it, that fight.」

The man who was in charge of the upperclassmen at that time was the young Rintaro Kuriyama. He was the young Rintaro Kuriyama, who was later feared as a “poisonous snake” not only by the trainees but also by the instructors.

――And then came the day of the annual sports festival――

Rintaro had prepared enough sports drinks for all the students, because it was important for them to stay hydrated, he put a large amount of numbing medicine in the portions for the underclassmen to drink. In a gesture of kindness, he handed the underclassmen towels soaked in chloroform. He bribed the training instructor who was the referee, and blackmailed every underclassman who followed Kirika’s lead.

The equipment used in the competition was rigged and a pit was dug in the ground the day before. By identifying the back account of the SNS and posting the recorded data, the friendship between the underclassmen was completely destroyed, and letters of unhappiness was also written.

As a result, the tents of the underclassmen’s camp were turned into scorched earth where not even a blade of grass could grow.

As a result of Rintaro playing every dirty trick he could think of, Kirika had to take on a full team of upperclassmen by herself. As expected, the genius Mayuzumi Kirika was no match for the upperclassmen, and as a result, the underclassmen team suffered a complete defeat by a triple score.

「Damn it!　I can’t believe we lost to the upperclassmen…….!」

「Hahahahaha!　How about we have a group of the lowly underclassmen dance naked at the scramble crossing in Shibuya? Or how about walking down the hallway on all fours, whimpering, every day from now on?」

「P- Please don’t do this to us, Krill …… Kuriyama-senpai!」

In this way, the upperclassmen regained their dignity in a most shameful manner. Most of the underclassmen were defeated in the face of Rintaro’s insidious scheme, but they did not even get a chance to compete properly.

There was only one person who was not satisfied with the result. It was none other than Mayuzumi Kirika herself.

「Please wait, Kuriyama-senpai. Isn’t this kind of thing cheating?」

The only one who dared to stand up to the upperclassmen was Kirika, who glared at Rintaro.

「Cheating? Hey hey, don’t say bad things」

「I mean, isn’t that so? It would be better if we were both in a perfect state, but you’re just using dirty tricks like this. This is invalid.」

「Hohou……？」

Rintaro approaches Kirika in a vulgar manner.

「I thought you were just an ornament being carried around by the underclassmen. But you can make a human face, too, huh?」

「Please don’t make fun of me. If you underestimate me too much, you will regret it.」

「Which one of us is the one who underestimated the other?」

Whish. The smile that had been on Rintaro’s face disappeared.

「Mayuzumi, your physical ability is astounding. None of the upperclassmen, let alone me, can even come close to you. If you play it right, the winner is obvious from the start.」

「Even so……」

「That’s why. I did what I could with all my might. This is all for the purpose of defeating Mayuzumi Kirika. I did everything in my power to make you crawl to your feet.」

The stagnant eyes behind the glasses looked straight into Kirika’s blue eyes.

「What percentage of my 100 percent did you respond to?　Let me ask you again, Mayuzumi. Who underestimated whom?」

「Uu…… That …………」

「That’s a great look on your face. Senpai like you better this way.」

Mayuzumi Kirika, Who was sure of victory for herself from the start. Kuriyama Rintaro, who tried to take the victory with all his might and greed.

The victory or defeat of both sides was inevitable.

The Peerless Genius, Mayuzumi Kirika, was defeated for the “first time in her life”. She finally shed her tears in regrets while she was in the public eye.

Finally, after all that, everything came to an end after Retto’s passionate speech on the theme of “Friendship! Comrades!”. Needless to say, Rintaro Kuriyama’s behavior, which was so unforgiving, unmannerly, and unsportsmanlike, drew a lot of complaints from various quarters.

However, it seems that the person who was most frustrated was Kirika herself. After that, she began to challenge Rintaro to matches.

「Senpai, please have a match with me!」

「Alright, I understand, then use this shinai.」

「Ugh!　Senpai, this shinai electrocuted me!　It’s got electricity flowing through it!」

「Mayuzumi, if you accept something handed to you by the enemy without warning, you’re bound to get hurt, aren’t you?　Remember, in actual combat, the first to die is the one who fails to take precautions.」

「……Yes, senpai……!」

For the next year, Rintaro fought off Kirika in every way he could think of that he doesn’t want to talk about.

………………

…………

……

And now. Mayuzumi Kirika once again stands in front of Rintaro Kuriyama.

「Hiiiiiii. This is not gooooooooood……」

Mayuzumi Kirika, who has been subjected to Rintaro’s cowardly and despicable lessons for a year, is now fighting against the Ark Dominion, to which the villainous mysterious being Death Green belongs.

「Aniki, your face has turned green, ssuyo! Are you really in a bad condition, ssuka?!」

「Rather than the condition being bad, it’s the outlook, I guess…? Hahaha….」

That’s right. For Rintaro, it meant a chance encounter with a hero who was both his natural enemy and, in a sense, his disciple.
