World Record - Chapter 58. Doubt
58. Doubt
Upon hearing the explosion sound, she-Tsumugu turned around.
[Notnorth? ThenAyame?]
How compose of you to look away!
The next moment, the silver tiger that came close to her, swings down his huge arm at Tsumugu.
But,
[NnI am]Pita!
The arm stopped moving at a certain spot, and the silver tiger opened his eyes wide by the unbelievable situation. And upon seeing her figurehe is shocked.
W-Wh-What is that arm!?
The silver tigers arm was stopped by Tsumugus hand.
Despite this being a shocking mattera strange looking armgrew from her shoulder.
Piling muscles over and over again. The white arm that has long nails, is surely an Ogres hand.
Upon seeing that, the silver tiger reached a possibility.
D-Dont tell me, you are a humanoid Unknown!?
Tsumugu twitched by those words.
The white flame just now that should be called as divine flame.
That was definitely a superpower. Then, as long as Tsumugu is a life-form, a second superpowerin this case, the Ogres hand is impossible.
Therefore, the silver tiger guessed that the ogres hand is the effect of the humanoid Unknowns Transformation.
Then, everything fits the current situation
[Haajust when I thought what youwere saying]She sighed in amaze, and released his hand.
Immediately after that, the silver tiger took a distance from herand was bewildered by her words.
[Tsumugu is a fully-fledged human. Not an Unknown. Thatsas long as Im alive as Nii-sans sisterits an absolute truth]Tsumugu said that without hesitation.
Certainly, its not strange to take that her superpower looks like a humanoid.
Thats why, the silver tiger was bewildered by those words, and as a result, he decided to consider that those words are liehe cant helped but to do so.
Lies! You are a fully-fledged Unknownin other words, the same existence as us who are born to kill humans! No matter what you gone through. No matter how immersed you are to the comfortable state. This is the truth that you can never erase!
By those words, Tsumugu cast her eyes down.
Upon seeing that, the silver tiger is convincedthat this girl is an Unknown.
However
[Enough]At the next moment, a huge white sun appeared above her palm.
Due to the extreme heat, the sweats on the silver tigers body evaporate in an instant, and smokes with unpleasant smell started to rise up from the silver tigers fur gradually.
[I am a human. It has nothing to do with the past. Andtheres no need for youto verify itpurposely]The silver tiger opened his eyes wide upon hearing those words, and when he look at her eyesa chill ran through his spine.
Reflected in those eyes is cold flame.
Those eyes are like an overwhelming strong person looking at an absolute weak person. As if shes not looking at him as a living thing.
When he realized it, the Unknowns in the surroundings, have all died by the heat, and upon seeing that, he once again looked at her, and sneered.
I see. From the beginning, I have no chance of winning against you, huh. No wonder I can only feel composure from you
He mutters so, and shuts his eyes.
Thats the appearance of one whos prepared to die. Tsumugu who saw the familiar appearance, fired the sun towards him without mercy.
[h.e.l.l Fire Star]The next moment, the sun wrapped up his body, and the spot formed a huge crater.
And, leaving only a little girl standing still with lonely feelings.
She raises her eyes.
Just the dull weather covering the blue sky can be seen, and she muttered this sorrowfully.
[Nii-sanIlook like ahumanright?] [Oi oi, TsumuWhy are you using it]Iwato who looked at the white sun from a distance, muttered that while twitching his face.
h.e.l.l Fire Star.
Tsumugus strongest attack. Although it may look like shes going easy on the opponent when seeing from a distance, still, all the living things in the vicinity have been annihilated for sure.
[Well, that bad looking fish probably also died by that. So it turned out all right in the end, I guess]However.
Iwato puts his hand on his chin and thinks.
Will Tsumugu use such move against a small fry? Because Iwato went to the direction where the strongest is, theres no way her opponent is stronger than these two, but
[Then, the opponent said something unpleasant?]Iwato reached such conclusion.
He released his hand from his chin, and looked at the two whore breathing heavily.
[Hey, does the guy on that side have bad personality?]
Aah!? Like I know!?
At the same time as the reply, Raijinman fired a lightning.
Iwato repels it again, and at the same time, counters the incoming demons hand with a poke.
Dogyaaa!
As a result of the clash between a full swing and a poke, the black-robed man who unleashed the full swing, had his demon hand blown off, rolling on the ground.
[Guaaaa!? T-This Devilman full power attack! With just a poke!? A poke!?]While shouting so, the black-robed manDevilman holds down his shoulder.
Iwato shuts his ears with his fingers by the shout, and then he yawns.
After that, he gave a conclusion.
[Un, Im a little worried, so lets finish this quick]At the next moment, Iwato disappears.
By that, even Devilman opened his eyes wide, and he looked aroundbehind Raijinman. Upon seeing the grinning man at the back, he quickly raised his voice.
[R-Raijinman! Behind you!]
[Hai, a little slow]The next moment, the lightning Raijinmans head was grabbed by Iwato, and his face struck the ground.
With just that, the Unknown, Raijinman whos capable of harming a country, dies, and upon seeing that, Devilman recalled what the researcher said.
In this town of this country, there are two top leaders of the Special Forces, A rank number one, Isakai Manabu, and the prime minister and also the Minister of Defence. Dont leave behind anything, butif you ever met one of the top leaders, please run away. Probably, only she can stand a chance against them
Recalled those words, and checked the current situation.
I met her once. Certainly, shes too overwhelming that makes me think that its impossible to win. To the extent I thought that theres no one can stand a chance against her.
However
(I dont think she can winNo, I cant imagine this mans losing figure. I cant even imagine his struggling figure)
Iwato is equalno, more overwhelming.
When Devilman realized it, Iwato has already came close, and he muttered this with a cramp smile.
[What a bad luck]Devilman said that and died.
Just like that, the Unknowns that attacked the Takino Camping site were annihilated.
After that, the Special Forces who came to the place, gulped upon seeing the numbers of the Unknowns, and found a total of 4 Sacred Beast cla.s.s Unknowns corpses in each places.
Other than that, 12 Mythical Beast cla.s.s Unknowns, and about 400 Monster cla.s.s Unknowns were found. This incident has become well-known as the greatest attack in world history.
And, the number of victims in this attack was miraculously low.
Half of them shut themselves in the multi purpose hall as breakfast is provided there, and the media broadcast it saying that its all because there are A rank member, B rank member, and the boy who defeated the Sacred Beast cla.s.s the other day. However, the people who were saved by Iwato and Tsumugu held suspicion towards the media, and thanked and praised the two.
And days pa.s.sed. After one week.
When Iwato turns off the television in the living room, he opened his status application.
He looked at the displayed screen.
[As expected, the silent warp hole is not appearing at foreign countries. Kaa-san, have you found something?]The person displayed on the screen is Iwatos biological motherKanekura Tsukie. She sighed in a troubled way.
Nothing much. Only the person called researcher. And in foreign countriesno, the silent warp hole has never occurred in any other towns aside from this town. As expected, theres only one thing that can be considered
She muttered so, and they looked at each others eyes.
And
[A traitor]
Iwato and Tsukie, muttered the same word.
Tsukie crumples her brow when her opinion is the same as Iwatos, and she says the reason upon reaching the answer.
When considering there is a traitor in his town, its possible that the person can jam the detection device in this town from inside and then, open a warp hole during that time
[Now that the silent warp hole has been developed, its strange that it only appear in Sapporo. Isnt this thought the leading contender?]
Iwato said that, and at the same time, he listened carefully to the voice coming from the stairs.
[Tsumu-san! Look, I have sweets]
[Come out quick, or else Ill flirt with Iwato-sama]Upon hearing that, Iwato sighs.
Tsukie frowns in a trouble way as if she heard those words.
Dont tell meTsumu-chan shut herself?
[Ah, un. Since a few days ago]
Thats right, a few days after the incident, Tsumugu shut herself in her room.
In the pastbecause the Tsumugu 3 years ago did the same thing, Iwato didnt feel shaken, but still, hes worried.
[Well thenwhat to do?]Iwato muttered so while looking at Tsukie showing a thumbs up.
