Chapter 21 - Back In The Game Once Again
Coming by CiRCLE today, I am going to meet up with Touko to check how the progress is with my new outfit I will be using when going for the upcoming assassins.
But as I am heading towards there, Lyrical Lily are surprisingly at the the cafeteria, enjoying themselves.
"So, I suppose that's our plan for next week?" Haruna asks her unit mates as they all nod, but she suddenly sees Kurumi giggling. "What's so funny? Preparing one of your pranks now, huh?"
"No, no, it's just that your favorite is here~" Kurumi says as Haruna turns around and instantly spots me.
"S-senpai!" she utters out as I stop in my steps and look to the four girls.
"Oh, hey Haruna and everyone else!" I say as I wave to them, Haruna seemingly blushing.
"Heh, he said my name first..." she says as she soon smiles. "It's good to see you all well!"
"I can say the same to you all. Hope you are enjoying the stuff they offer at CiRCLE." I tell them as I look to my phone for a moment, before back at them. "Well, going to head inside. Need to meet up with Touko soon and such!"
I head inside the live house, but Haruna remains pondering.
...
"...Touko, Touko, always Touko for him..."
"Weeell, he does have one heck of a brainrot for her, so it's understandable he loves her so dearly~" Kurumi says as she and Miiko giggles. "Besides, I am 101% sure they have engaged even, considering the ring Touko wears currently~!"
"Wait, you mean they are engaged?!" Miyu exclaims, surprised that would be done already now between the two. "Well, I can definitely be up for being the priest for senpai and Touko's wedding!"
"Wedding... Heh, yeah, wedding..." Haruna quietly says as she still feels down about that Stephan is already in plans to get married with Touko so far ahead. "I... need a moment. I will be back."
"Haruna, where are you going..?" Miyu asks the red hair, but she just walks away, all while Kurumi sighs and shakes her head.
"She's in love with Stephan, Miyu." Kurumi states as she does feel bad as well for Haruna that someone she has gotten interested already is deep in a relationship that it's close to impossible for her to get together with the one she has started to love.
"Oh, poor poor Haruna..." Miiko says as she sighs herself. "Miiko thinks Haruna should let go of Stephan though. No point when he already loves Touko."
"...Yeah, letting go, true." Kurumi says as she crosses her arms while blushing.
"Kurumi..?" Miyu asks her, wondering why she is acting like that as well now. "You don't happen... to like him as well?"
"Wah, me? Oh no, he is a fun guy, but no feelings here!" she replies, but still looks down. "I am going to go practice with my recorder, see you around!"
"But wait Kurumi, we were going to..! Oh my, first Haruna heading somewhere and now Kurumi walking away as well!"
"Let's give them space for now..." Miiko replies to Miyu as she drinks more of her soda.
...
Looking around the lobby, I scratch my head wondering where everyone is.
"Oh, hey there Stephan!" Daichi says as he emerges from one of the studios with cleaning stuff. "I assume you are here to meet up with Touko?"
"Yeah, that's correct. How did you know though..?" I ask him as he chuckles.
"She told me that you would come by here later, as you two needed some private time." he says as he... pushes up his glasses.
"Quite interesting that you two need to have space. What for-"
"Me and Touko has already had sex."
Daichi looks wide eyed at me as he blushes from me suddenly saying that. "W-wait, wait, what? Dude, for real..?"
"Yes, two times already, almost yesterday as well when I were massaging her." I bluntly reply to him as I soon smirk, finding it funny how shocked he is from the fact that I straight up admit I have banged Touko already.
"Well, I mean, you are in a relationship, but damn, I just didn't expect that you and Touko would have already done it..!" he nervously says as he feels somewhat embarrassed now as well, most likely having thought of trying to tease me. Welp, not today, my good friend.
"Stephy!"
Both me and Daichi turn to the source and see Morfonica come out of the studio, and Touko had spotted me at once.
"Well, uh, won't disturb you two, ahaha..!" Daichi says as he goes back to cleaning, leaving the others confused why he takes and instantly leaves me alone with Touko.
"Well, that's strange of Daichi to act like that... Anyways, I have your outfit fully ready, Stephy!" she says as she takes my hand and we head back to the studio her band just practiced at.
Daichi is just heavily blushing seeing me and Touko head inside, cleaning even faster now.
"Daichi, you won't get much work done in that way." Rui tells him as he turns his attention to her, though looking extra at her. "Something the matter?"
He realizes at once what he is doing and instantly shakes his head before turning his attention back to cleaning. "No, no, Rui, and everyone else, nothing's wrong!"
"Hmm, something tells me Daichi is a little bothered about something, he is not so normal of him currently after all~" Nanami points out as everyone else nods.
"I swear, nothing's wrong!" Daichi replies as he continues cleaning.
"Nah, we need to sit down and talk! Something is clearly bothering you!" Tsukushi says as she gets behind and starts pushing him towards the lounge. "Chop chop now!"
While the others are going on with their shenanigans outside the studio, Touko is making sure the outfit fits me and is to my liking.
"It's perfect, my beloved." I tell her as she giggles and blushes from my compliment as she continues checking so the measures are proper after having just based it from when she did my first outfit from when I began my time as an assassin.
Touko tells me to straighten out my arms, basically making me T-pose as she is measuring my arms so nothing is imperfect there. But not too long after, I feel a pair of arms wrapping around me. "Sorry Stephy, but I just couldn't help it~"
"No need to apologise, Touko. This just feels nice getting hugs like this, heh..." I reply as hold onto her hands. "Love you babe."
"And I love you too, my cutie~!" she replies as we both snuggle up, sorta forgetting what we were doing, but I don't see why it matters.
Touko is the only I need in my time of doing things, and she is always there, no matter what.
I soon turn around and hold Touko's chin in my hand before I lay my lips against her's and begin sharing a kiss, as passionate as we ever do it, if not more even.
"Alright, let's head out then after I put my school uniform back on. Can't walk outside like this after all." I tell Touko after the kiss as she giggles from such an obvious thing. But I do just that and change back into my uniform and get a paper bag to have my outfit in it.
Holding each other's hand, we head out the studio as we look at each other, enamored by each other just as much every single time.
"Daidai, don't be afraid now~!" Nanami suddenly says as Daichi backs away from her.
"Wait, wait, Nanami! I-I don't know if it's so appropiate!" he replies as he looks to me. "Stephan, thank the gods..! I don't know why, but Nanami is flirting with me-"
"Huh..? But it's normal that girls flirts with you sometimes." I reply to him as Nanami giggles. "Or am I wrong, Nanami?"
She looks a little surprised to me before she giggles again and soon looks to Daichi as she nods. "Daidai is really cute when he tells about his various qualities, hehe~"
Me and Touko look in surprise at each other before looking back at the two while Daichi is still blushing over Nanami suddenly having the hots for him.
To be fair, could've been that she didn't get to know him much until now, but wow, now out of all times..?
"Daidai, I like that nickname~" the voice of another girl utters out as we all turn to the source, and it turns out to be Lisa alongside the rest of Roselia. "Daidai... Such a good ring to it~!"
"I know right!" Nanami replies to her fellow bass player as they both look at Daichi, who is getting even more flustered. "Come on now Daidai, Ruirui is also waiting on you~!"
"Wait, Rui likes Daichi too?!" Touko asks in surprise, as she is surprised the serious young woman would also hop onto the love train. "Geez, I am happy for her, but she will probably still not acknowledge my guitar skills anytime soon either way despite being more lighthearted, haha..."
"Don't worry Touko, you do an amazing job with your guitar playing. Never give up!" I tell her to cheer her up, and cheered up she gets indeed.
"Aww, Stephy~! You are the most adorable ever!" she tells me as she hugs me very tightly. "I don't need anyone else as long as I have my Stephy..."
"And thus the two lovebirds starts again." Sayo says in a serious tone, but slightly chuckles soon after. "Not that there is any wrong in that."
"Well, we two will head out for now. Have fun you all!" I tell everyone as everyone except Lisa and Nanami looks at me in confusion while Touko laughs before hugging onto my arm.
With her still clinging on my arm, we head outside as I look up at the beautiful blue sky, before looking back at someone who is 100 times more beautiful.
Touko looks back at me with an expression filled with joy, which makes me just as happy seeing.
She remains the best thing to have ever happened to me...
And I will protect her with my very life to make sure she is the happiest as well like she makes me.
As we continue downtown to spend some extra time, we soon run into the members of Peaky P-Key.
"Oh, hey Stephan! Long time no see!" Kyoko greets me as the others waves at me. "And hello to you too, Touko. You both out on a date, I assume?"
"That's correct~! I am out here with my super duper sweetie, browsing various things, hehe~" Touko says as the other girls smiles, though Shinobu rolls her eyes, not really understanding the whole fluffy part of romance.
"My, my, you two are just so perfect together!" Esora says as Touko frantically nods before kissing me on my cheek.
"It was always meant to be~" Touko replies as she looks proud while still holding onto me as I just blush from her remarks.
Yeah, always meant to be, forever and ever...
"Babe, you make me so flattered..." I tell Touko as I hug her from behind and make sure to press myself hard against her. Though I get so turned on from hugging her this hard, hell, I can't resist Touko..!
"Well, you certainly weren't wrong with claiming that Touko is super important to you. You cried almost that day because of loving her so much!" Kyoko says as Touko turns around to look at me again.
"Stephy..."
"I-I know it was maybe too much of me to get emotional when talking about you, but I've always looked so highly on you, no matter what." I tell her as she grabs both my hands while the others are watching in anticipation what happens next.
"Don't worry, you thinking so highly of me since back then is so nice to hear, hehe~" she soon replies before hugging onto me as we do yet another kiss.
We say our farewell to the member in Peaky P-Key as we continue on browsing the stores, though I figure we can't do it for much more.
I am going to try and tackle two assassins each time, hopefully. Can't really hope I will be able to manage it every time, but I feel battle ready and confident enough!
Nothing but confidence like my beloved Touko always has.
As I tell her I am going to head away, she tightly hugs onto me. "Alright, but come back in one piece, okay..?"
"You know I always do, Touko." I reply to her as we share a kiss before I head away to home to put on my new outfit and also fetch my visor and, the most important thing, my beam katana.
I guess I will try out with the cross beamed katana alongside the Tsubaki. Doing well with these beam katanas so far, but of course, I am all up for possibly expanding my arsenal.
Hooking both of them to my belt on my new outfit, I go in front of the mirror I have, taking an extra look at my new look.
"God, this is so awesome~" I tell myself as I fetch the visor and put it on, the green tint of it hiding my eyes well enough. "Out we go then."
Sliding down the apartment's stair railing, I come down to the exit and run out, passing by Reona, who has once again been out to buy beef jerky.
"Wait, Night Hawk?! Here?!" she utters out behind me as she... starts running after me?! Wait, no, no, I can't be getting fans now, can I..? "Night Hawk, waaait!"
I continue running as Reona is in pursuit, most likely wanting to talk to me, but I can't reveal my identity for god's sake!
She continues running and running, waving her arms and wanting me to stop. "Wait, please..! You are so cool, I want your autograph..!"
"No way, my hand writing sucks ass!" I tell her as I continue running faster towards the location I will meet my first target for today.
But she isn't giving up anytime soon it seems, god damn it... It's just running and running for now.
As I soon arrive at the place, which is a bigger resort, I look behind me and still see Reona run after me, but clearly exhausted at this point.
"Pleeease..!" she begs again as she sounds almost ready to cry.
"Sorry, no can do." I reply as... Reona actually does begin crying... Wait, no, I don't want to make my friends sad, damn it..!
"*sniff* Everyone keeps on talking about you in school, and it would be so cool to at least get something from you to show everyone..." Reona tells me as I scratch my neck as I look to the resort before back on her.
I soon reach out my hands in front of her as I look to her. "Alright, sorry about that. I can do an autography, okay?"
She immediately beams up again, though still having tears in her eyes. "Yay, thank you, thank you, Night Hawk!"
Taking out a piece of paper and pen from a small hand bag of her's, she hands me the items as I go up to a pole to easier write against it. I just do a made up sign on spot, because hopefully no one else will be asking for my "autograph"...
Handing her the paper with my autograph on, she jumps with joy as she brightly smiles at me. "Yes, awesome~! I need to show this to CHU²-sama as well, I am sure she also finds you cool!"
"Maybe she does. Anyways, farewell R- PAREO- Wait, I mean-"
"N-no way, you know who I am?!" Reona asks me, shocked over the fact that I know her stage name. God, is this how it's like to have a double identity like various superheroes..?
"Y-yeah, I know who you are, you are the keyboardist of Raise A Suilen, very cool band, haha..!" I reply to her as she is even more excited now.
"This is so cool..! Just wait until everyone gets to hear this..!"
"Yeah, sure. Cool for sure, I think." I reply to her as I sigh at my mistake with actually knowing who she is as my apparent double identity. "Anyways, I am going to go and deck some assholes into the ground, so see you around."
"Alright, see you!" Reona tells me as she runs away, most likely back to the apartment again. Meanwhile I am on my way to claim rank 50 from my new target.
As I read, he is called Nathan Copeland and is basically a rapper or something, but he has a whole ass cult tied to him, so I expect only the strangest sort of fight.
"Barging in!" I yell as I walk inside the building, causing a pair of suited men to turn their attention to me.
"Ah for fuck's sake, Mike, you said he would come later!" one of the henchmen says to the other as he shrugs his shoulder. "Well, little shit, listen here now: Kill or be killed, only thing that counts here!"
"Yeah sure, didn't have in mind with sparing any of you either way. Let's start the game once again!" I tell the henchmen as I ready my beam katana while they ready their swords.
https://youtu.be/HMyjG2n2zCM
It's been sometime since I last did a proper run through like this, I met the various assassins one after another, so no henchmen, but seems the budget shot up again after my return.
With ease, I mow down the henchmen as more continues coming down the elevators.
Funny that otherwise I wouldn't have the money to enter these sort of resorts, but consider the UAA arranges this and most likely pay for any damages caused by all this fighting, I can just go wild!
Not as wild as I go with Touko though- Wait, no, not those kinda thoughts when fighting!
Continuing on with fighting the henchmen, I continue onwards up the elevator, before arriving at a big hall, which I run through.
Though suddenly I hear a helicopter outside... which begins shooting at me?! Jesus christ, they do anything to kill me now, huh?
Well, not stopping me, just gotta take some cover though whenever they shoot. Getting shot by miniguns won't be as easy to come out from with my bullet proof vest compared to normal revolvers.
Henchmen appears as well, but the henchmen in the helicopter decides to friendly fire and shoot towards me even if their colleagues are still out. The world of assassination is fucked up, on god.
Nevertheless, I soon arrive at another elevator that is able to take me up even higher. Nathan should be basically on the top of the resort, with a luxurious room all for himself.
The final stretch, and more henchmen emerges from the various rooms, ready to strike me down. Because of the increase, I quickly withdraw Tsubaki and bring out my cross bladed beam katana instead, figuring I might as well try it out.
Like earlier, I strike at them, but this time, I mow them down with ease and without much difficulty. The blade cuts through them like butter, more or less.
"What even is that blade?! How is it so strong..?!" one of the henchmen asks the other as they just shake their head. "Crap, well, we signed up for this. Better to meet our maker than trying to endure whatever the hell this is."
I overhear this, and seeing as they are the last ones around, I turn off the beam katana and holster it. Looking at them, I await their response.
-music end-
"...The hell, why are you sparing us two for?! You cut everyone else down, so why not kill us as well?" the henchman yells at me, fear in his voice being obvious.
"I will give you two a chance to walk out of here, scoot free." I tell them as I stand there, just meters away from the room where I will meet Nathan. But I will give them the chance-
"Okay bye." the second henchman says as he runs past me, the first one looking in confusion at his colleague running away.
"...Fine then, I will go. But don't think this will make me trust you, you little shit." he soon tells me as he walks past as I just nod my head.
Right, inside here then I will meet up with the next target. About time I got some challenge beforehand, I feel much more warmed up!
Kicking the door open, I see three dark skinned people sit at the couch, two women and one man. The man must be Nathan, the first assassin for today that I will have killed to get closer to this Jasper fuck that killed my parents and will be out for others close to me.
"Aaah, if it isn't Stephan, the Crownless King!" Nathan tells me as I look at him in confusion.
"Fuck you mean with that? It seems titles for me gets pulled out of someone's ass for the sake of it."
"You have been victorious this whole time. You could definitely be considered a King from that alone-!"
"Look, just shut up! I am here to kill your sorry ass, not having conversation!" I yell at Nathan as he smirks before he throws the two women in my direction and flies up from the sofa. "Whoa, what the fuck?!"
I avoid the women flying at me, but quickly grab their hands to at least slow down their fall on the floor, though I fall with them, before we all stand up. "Jesus christ, you two okay-?"
But before they could reply, Nathan punches them out of the room with his black and gold metal arms, before he laughs.
"Yet so valiant! Not many assassins like you out there!" Nathan tells me as he converts the metal arms into a boombox that he soon turns on. "This world is filled with trash, trash and once again trash. All glitter, but no soul!"
"Speak for yourself."
"I sure as hell am, and oh how I despise it all! Save me, Crownless King!" Nathan goes on, still smiling widely and doing some smaller moves to the music he turned.
"That's Night Hawk for you! But sure thing, I can tell you a prayer... once you are six feet under!
https://youtu.be/1BY1Vrkdqmo
Cranking the music to max, we both headbob to the beat of whatever fire track he had just put on as he begins pacing around a little, before converting the boombox to arms again and begins going for striking at me.
Blocking his strikes, I jump back a little before rushing at him, but he is good at blocking as well, so we are at equal.
But soon enough, I find an opening and am able to strike at him, which makes him jump up, grab onto the chandelier in the roof, and swing over to the other side of the room.
At the other side, he converts the arms back into a normal boombox... before shooting missiles out of it?! I told you all the world of assassinations is crazy and fucked up...
Avoiding the missiles, they shoot into the floor, damaging the luxury room. Welp, shame for the one who wanted this room afterwards, whoever has the money for it.
Nathan continues dancing to the beat while pacing around again, but I decide to take it a little careful. Motherfucker has a portable missile launcher in his hands after all.
And whenever I close in on him, he decides to convert it into his arms. God damn it, such annoyance...
Even so, we manage to fight up and close, until he backs away and snaps with his fingers, causing the chandelier to smash down into the floor with a crash before raising up again.
"Oh come on now, not even in the Hitman games the falling chandeliers aren't effective of them!"
Though I spoke too soon as not too long after striking him some more, the lion heads on the pillars in the room begins spinning, shooting like turrets as soon as you approach them. Gotta be even more careful now!
...And then suddenly the "plants" begins exploding as soon as you approach them, with new ones emerging from small platforms where the previous plant stood at.
......And not too long after a few more strikes, the mat laying across the floor begins moving...
What the hell sort of bullshit fight is this?!
After avoiding all the turrets, explosive plants, falling chandelier, missiles from a boombox and heavy punches, I finally start exhausting Nathan a lot as well.
"Impressive... Night Hawk!" he yells out before he quickly changes to his metal arms and punches me into the bedroom, but I soon rush out of it, yelling while having blood run down my forehead, as I definitely think I got a smaller gash there, but can't be bothered right now!
Yelling, I strike at him as he doesn't manage to block anything anymore, so once I find an opening, I slam the blade of the Tsubaki into his left side.
-music end-
"DELIVERANCE!" he yells out as I cut through him, causing his upper half to fall down on the floor while the lower part with his legs still stands, gushing out a ton of blood.
The lower half soon falls on its knees as well, blood oozing out on the floor as I just sigh and shake my head.
"...I am so fucked up."
The usual cleaners comes by, so guess I will head to my next target, I wanted to tackle two at once-
My phone suddenly rings, and first thinking it's my beloved Touko, it's a number I haven't seen before.
"Yes hello, Stephan Klausch here?"
"Ah good, finally came through! It's Miu Tamade-"
"FUCKING BITCH, COULDN'T YOU HAVE DONE SOMETHING TO PREVENT JASPER FROM OFFING MY PARENTS?!" I yell at her, frustarted that she thinks that she can just casually talk to me after something like that.
"Hey now, look, I know the UAA takes care of this, but we had no way or power to stop him. His loyal henchmen even killed people at the office over here to get how he wanted!" Miu explains as she sighs.
"...I see. Still, it's your association's fault for all this fuckery we have going on in an otherwise ordinary world!"
"Yeah yeah, but let's strike a deal: If you kill Jasper, I will shut down the UAA, permanently. I realize how chaos it had become in the latest time after all, haha-"
"You better fucking compensate for Touko and her family as well. No one hurts my beloved, do you hear me?" I tell her, being reminded of when she got kidnapped just to push me to keep on killing.
"Yeah yeah, we are working on that. Go make out with and bed her in the meantime, we can't do anything instantly after all." Miu tells me as she sighs again, apparently writing something down, most likely to remember to do that, and she fucking better remember it.
"Oh and one last thing."
"Yes, what's that?"
"...Talk more with Chiyu, your daughter, will you? It's not good when she had more fun than ever with me and Touko being her parental figures for one day compared to with you and your husband, her actual parents."
Miu is quiet for a moment, and I hear yet another sigh from her as she writes it down.
"I suppose I should. Well, congratulations on getting to rank 50, onwards to the next one already today, was it?"
"Fucking right about that."
"Right, your next target is Charlie MacDonald, you will find him at the university that lays within Shinjuku. Good luck with it!"
"I don't need to hear any wishes from you, Touko is the only one I need that makes me assured about the upcoming fights."
"Okay, well, bye then. Hear from you later." she replies as she hangs up the call and I put my phone back in my pocket. To the university is then.
It's already afternoon, but I arrive at the university building, and seems it's quite little activity. Guess that's good, wouldn't want someone to spot a high schooler like me run around on grounds like these-
"Oh, hello there. Do you need some help?"
I turn to whom had just said that, and see a person coming up to me, looking at me. Though I am unsure if they are a boy or girl...
"Uh, no, not really." I reply back to them as they can of course not see my eyes, as my visor is in the way. "I am just gonna go on-"
"Are you a student here? Sorry, but it just seems a little suspicious with that outfit and all, haha!"
"No, I am not." I tell them before I run onto the school grounds.
"H-huh? Wait, are you a high schooler perhaps? A fan wanting to meet Merm4id or RONDO?" they ask me as I just keep on running, prefering not to anwser anything more. I am just here to kick ass and nothing more!
Because students are still around currently, no goons to fight, so I can try my best to find where this Charlie fuck is at.
Eventually, I navigate out on a gym field outside, which is very empty of it-
Not a moment too soon, I hear what sounds like some cheerleaders, and they roll out as I am just confused whatever the fuck this is now...
"Ranking roll call!" they all say together simultaneously as they begin counting down from 49 to 26. "Who's that leave? Just the hottest jock alive, legendary 25! Miiister Shotgun!"
I am... what is going on? And what do they mean with ranking roll call?
...Wait, these cheerleaders... are all assassins?!
"Charlie McD, he will knock, knock you down! Put you deep into the ground! Touchdown!" the cheerleaders continues signing as they do a formation at the stairs, a row on each side, pointing upwards it. "Yaaaay, violence!"
Once they finish singing, out emerges a very hunky looking guy wearing equipment you wear when playing football, though he ditches the helmet soon after as he smirks.
"And after this, I am going to touch you down!" he tells the cheerleaders as they fangirl at him. "Man, it's great to finally meet you, Mr Klausch, or rather, Klausch Jr., hahaha!"
"Haha, very funny. I know I am a high schooler, but at least I have fought more than your lazy ass."
"Well, I am not the only one who protects my ranking, you know! So in a fight, I have a major advantage."
"What, I am going to fight you and your hoes? Try me then." I tell Charlie as he and some of the cheerleaders laughs.
"That's my game, but hey I dig your style, you seem like someone that would be a good friend if we didn't had to fight like this!"
"Nah, we would be pretty shitty friends."
"Very correct, you whiny son of a bitch~" Charlie replies as he brings up a football, pointing high in the sky. "Let's have a better arena. Everyone, form Shinjuku Death Parade!"
On cue Charlie... suddenly flies up like a rocket into the atmosphere, the cheerleaders following after as they all go together, forming... a mech?!
"God damn, so this is what Naomi said to expect the unexpected. Welp, guess I finally get to use the toy she made." I say to myself as I bring up my arm, revealing a wrist band underneath it, that I press on. "Mechagodzilla MFS-3 'Kiryu', answer my call..!"
https://youtu.be/XYeCi25Zr-g
Further out in the ocean, a large building with a platform emerges, the platform being just above sea level. It opens up and slowly emerges a perfect replica of Mechagodzilla from "Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla" and "Tokyo S.O.S".
"I-is that... a Robo-Godzilla?!" one of the bystanders says as they see it in the distance.
"No... that's Mechagodzilla..!" another one says as more people crowd to look on as the mech done in the image of Japan's most famous kaiju soon comes into full view, before it begins flying up, and head towards the university.
"I could only dream about actually piloting Mechagodzilla, but here I am now." I say to myself as I see it coming in this direction. I begin running in it's flying direction, exiting out from the university and looking as it lands in a safe spot so nothing gets damaged. Looking up at it, I can't help but to feel like nerding out. "This is just too awesome~"
I climb it up as I see Death Parade hovering down, Charlie and the cheerleaders most likely being ready to fight.
"You can do it, Night Hawk! Strike that menace down!" one of the bystanders says as the crowds begins... cheering. They really see me as a hero, huh..?
I just wave to them as I continue upwards the ladder and soon am inside the mech, ready to pilot it and claim my next rank, whatever it will be if I kill all the cheerleaders as well.
-music end-
...
Meanwhile, in a clothing store, a certain blonde gyaru is looking up clothes, both to buy and be inspired by.
Touko suddenly hears her phone getting notifications, which makes her instantly bring it up, thinking it is Stephan messaging her.
But turns out to be people tagging her on her social media to take a selfie with... Mechagodzilla.
"W-what..? Wait a minute, I recognize that Mechagodzilla from one of the Godzilla movies I watched with Stephy not too long ago. He is absolutely adorable with his love for kaijus, hehe~" she says as she smiles before realizing something after seeing an additional comment about the fact that Night Hawk is inside the mech. "Eeeeh, Stephy is the one piloting it?!"
Touko looks in shock at her phone as she processes this fact, before sighing in a very dreamily manner. "...I seriously have the coolest boyfriend ever~"
...
https://youtu.be/F2DyLSJsmO4
"Okay, Charlie MacFries, show me what you go for-"
"DEATH PARADE PUNCH!" Charlie yells out as he hits my mech, making things shake inside it.
"Destroyman style battle, huh? Well, will be easier to predict you!"
Going up, close and personal with the Death Parade mech, I have MechaG punch it, and a quite hard punch at that, making the opposing mech almost topple over.
"Rocket launch!" I yell out as I press the button for just that, as a barrage of rockets shoots out from the back unit of the mech, making Death Parade fall over completely this time.
"Death Par-"
But before Charlie could say another word, I barrage his mech with both the Twin Maser Cannon that shoots out from my mech's mouth alongside smaller Railguns that fires from its hands.
Deploying the Maser Blades on MechaG after barraging Death Parade, I strike the mech.
"HOLY SHIT!" Charlie yells out from being so overwhelmed of Mechagodzilla's attacks. And he barely puts up a fight due to having less things compared to my mech.
Eventually slicing off one of the hands of Death Parade, I begin shooting with the Maser Cannon again, destroying more parts of the Death Parade mech, while deploying the second blade and slicing with both of them now.
Retracting one of the blades, I go for a hard punch in the head of the mech, deforming it greatly, as like other parts on the body of Death Parade.
"This is so unfair, damn it!"
"Who's the whiny school kid now then?" I tease him as as I shoot out everything at once, which causes power failure in Charlie's mech.
-music end-
"Damn it! The power system's busted!" Charlie yells out as sparks and electricity flies and flows everywhere around him and some of the cheerleaders inside the mech as he desperately tries to gain control of the mech again.
"2-4-6-8! Who can we decapitate?"
"Alright, you jock. Time for the final attack!" I tell him as I press a button that begins charging up the Absolute Zero Cannon. In the meantime, I deploy a Maser Blade in the right hand instead, boost Mechagodzilla forward and stab the mech deeply, before I begin spinning around with him.
"HOLY FUCKING SHIT!" he yells out as I soon throw the mech upwards towards the atmosphere as I begin charging up the boosters extra much as I with a big leap fly upwards as well.
"Absolute Zero at 100%. Ready to fire." an automated voice informs me as I get into position, making sure to line up with the mech currently flying further and further away from the immense throw.
"BUUUUUSTEEEER!" I yell at the top of my lungs as I hit the button for the cannon, making it open up the chest of Mechagodzilla, and fire out a blue beam that instantly freezes Death Parade, and everyone in it, before it explodes, shattering into small ice particles.
Taking some time with the view, I soon hurry back down to Earth, just to not run out of oxygen, and land among the wreckage that became after this mecha battle.
Hearing people cheer outside despite the thick metal, I finally lean back fully in the chair, before chuckling. I really never expected that fights could be on this level, but even so, it's quite exhausting, as I did tackle another assassin just earlier today.
Miu is calling me again, so with a sigh, I pick it up.
"Yeah, what's up?"
"Great job out there! Charlie was a menace either way to the people at the university, so with him gone, no one will miss him, haha! Anyways, just wanted to inform you that have taken rank number 25 now, hurray!"
"So those cheerleaders really were all assassins? Well, the less assassins in the world, the better." I reply as I yawn. "Alright, I will just take and put Mechagodzilla back in the underwater bay, needs some repairs after all. And I am tired as all hell."
After all is said and done, I return home, go up to my apartment and head inside. Though as I take off my shoes and some of my assassin outfit, I see that someone comes out from the kitchen, and I can't help but to sigh out in satisfaction.
"God, Touko, if only you knew how good it is to see you after such a long time today of just fighting..." I tell her as she giggles before I go up to her and hug her. "So exhausted, so being able to hug my beloved is the best thing ever..."
"Heh, I understand. I saw your mech by the way, it was all over social media!"
"I can imagine, but eh, let it be. Whether I get well-known from all this doesn't matter, I already am happy with someone named Touko Kirigaya~"
"Alright, no making me want to hug and kiss you for the rest of the day, yet! I cooked up some food for us two from your recipes you had laying around, so I hope it will taste good." Touko tells me as she grabs my hand and leads me into the kitchen.
"Oh it will for sure." I tell her as we both laugh and share a kiss. As long as I have her, I am sure these battles will go easier than ever, as I am doing it for her, my beloved Touko.
...
"W-w-wait, please, we just wanted to-"
The young woman slices off one of the escaped henchmen's head as she looks to the taller one that looks in fear at her.
"What do you want to know. I'll do anything!" he begs her as she just giggles a little.
"All I want to know is if Night Hawk is indeed Stephan Klausch~?" she asks him as he nods. "Thank you, hehe~"
"Wait, why are you raising your blade again- AAAAAAHHH!"
"Sorry, need to practice to fight Stephan. You guys didn't mean anything anyway." she says as she giggles again before walking away from there, having stacked the heads of the two henchmen on top of each other, leaving a post-it as well on the forehead of the head on top:
With love, from the UAA~
To be continued.
(A/N: Quite possibly my most out of this world chapter yet in this book, but hey, I looked forward to this arc after all with it's more insane stuff that will happen haha. Anyways, see you around in the next one.)
