only monsters

Chapter 914 NO.38: Balance

In Gullit's story, only one's home can serve as the stage for the story.

Not Hibiki Yuta, nor Utsumi Sho, but Takarata Rikka.

If Hibiki Yuta's transformation device Axepter Junior/small receiver is the same 'igniter' and 'remote control' as the Beta Magic Blade in Omo's hand...

Then the Junk computer in Rikka Takarata's home is undoubtedly the "signal receiving master device" corresponding to the "remote control" like Beta Motorcycle.

Whether it is transformation operations or tactical discussions, the "Gullit Alliance" and another organization "New Century Middle School Students" will gather here.

And the more important point is - next door to Rikka Takarata's house is Akane Shinjo's house.

That's if it still exists.

In Gurlitt's story, Akane Shinjo, as a god, once hid the house so that the protagonists who wanted to talk to her after learning her identity could not find her.

At the end of the story, the god was sent back to his own world, and the space next door to Rikka's house should be empty. Not to mention whether the house is still there, it could be turned into another store.

But he had seen and heard it.

Under the current dimension, the new residence stands and the familiar sound comes from the doorbell.

It was said that 'the traces of Alexis Kelif and Akane Shinjo's activities were copied'. In fact, Omer was still doubtful about this information.

Due to his special intelligence advantages and actual communication verification, he did not doubt the camps and positions of the two, but some issues could go beyond the camp positions and hit the sore point directly.

It is precisely for this reason that he will go to contact the Inland Sea General alone.

Instead of bringing Mr. Knight, who although his age has changed drastically, is still an acquaintance in the inner sea.

However, even if the people and things in this world cannot be reached, let alone the current situation of sharing network and business hall signals, there is still a plan to separate and rejoin the Gurlitt Knights Alliance.

That was the moment when Omo walked to the door of Rikka Takarata's house alone in the evening in this world.

He met the second generation at the alley of that grocery store.

"Mr. Linton, was it really shocking to hear Knight say that you were missing?"

"I am deeply sorry for causing such trouble, but to say missing is a bit harsh."

Omo, who was surprised, but not particularly surprised, shook his head calmly: "After all, I should have left a special message where it was... It seems he didn't write it?"

The members of the Gulit Knights Alliance and the Gulit Alliance have more or less intersections. Even if it is not to find Omo, but to simply come to Rikka to say hello, it is natural to appear here.

Although in terms of priority, the one they should visit most should be Hibiki Yuta.

But to be honest, compared to Hibiki Yuta, who is no longer Gulit, the JUNK computer that once served as an important component of the transformation is Gulit's nest (although it is also temporary).

"Ah... that should be the case. In fact, you can probably tell that Knight has a deep misunderstanding of you. I have been trying to convince him."

As she spoke, she looked up at the window light on the high wall next door.

That's the light from Rikka's house, and it looks like Knight is there.

This is not surprising, after all, when Mr. Knight was still called An Qi, he had the experience of being picked up by Rikka when he was a child.

It was like picking up a stray cat, taking Anqi back, who had been abandoned by Shinjou Akane, bathing, feeding, etc. The procedures for stray cats were very complete.

Although they later ran away like wild cats, the relationship was still good.

In comparison, the 2nd generation had little contact with Rikka Takarata, but this was probably not the reason why the girl waited here for Omo.

"I understand what you mean," Omer said without further questioning, "but there is no need to try too hard, as that can easily backfire."

"But Mr. Linton is so..."

"Actually, this distance is not bad. I happen to be staying at Mr. Utsumi's place temporarily."

"Eh?"

"If you don't have to spend time with each other day and night, it can probably make the other person feel more comfortable."

"Ah... I'm so sorry."

"You don't have to shoulder the responsibility of Mr. Anqi's guardian. Miss Nidaime, you have no reason to apologize, and I don't think he needs to apologize," Omo said with a smile, "I told him that I admire him very much. Suspicion, this is not a lie."

"The more complicated the matter, the more skeptical it is to maintain. This is my experience."

"Is that right?"

"That's right, Ms. 2nd generation, in fact, I also hope that you can doubt me. Too much unwarranted trust will make people suspicious. Of course, I understand that music monsters probably have some way of detecting people's hearts."

"So Mr. Linton doesn't know everything..." The 2nd generation waved his hands helplessly, "And what kind of bad guy can he be who chooses new clothes for Knight?"

"What do you think of that outfit?"

"Eh?" The second generation, who obviously didn't expect Omo to ask this suddenly, was stunned for a moment, but still answered seriously, "It's very suitable, very handsome."

"That's good," Omo nodded, "Actually, the Akane Shinjo I know, in addition to tinkering with monster models in the house, occasionally also draws some special drafts by hand."

"A special draft?" "It's not a monster or a battleship, but a portrait. She drew quite well, and many of them are quite complete."

"Is there Nate in there?"

"That's right, smart lady," Omo smiled, very satisfied with the second generation's quick response, "Actually, we also have some special means to understand the current situation of the two of you, but the effect of that means is also limited. , and most importantly unreachable.”

"The thoughts that have nowhere to be stored are probably on those papers, but unfortunately, I was not able to sneak those works in advance, and the current situation of the universe does not allow me to bring her with me."

"That's why you took Nate there..."

"Perhaps there will be a chance for her to do it herself in the future, but now that I am not sure, I will make my own decision."

"..." After hearing this, the second generation, who had been silent just now, raised his face and said quietly, "Is Mr. Linton really just a friend of Akane Shinjo?"

"To actually do this unilaterally."

"Of course, don't say anything about doing this unilaterally. Isn't it human nature to help friends make up for their regrets?"

Homais said calmly.

The second generation looked at him like this and said seriously: "I always feel that Mr. Linton is more like a monster like us than a human being."

"The metaphors I'm being compared to today are getting really crude."

Omo raised his head silently, glanced at the sky, then at the high walls on both sides of the alley, then lowered his head again: "How about we get down to business? Is there any trace of Gullit here?"

He readjusted his emotions.

"Don't you think about solving your current way of existence first?" the 2nd generation asked.

"To solve this problem, I'm afraid we have to let Gulit wake up, right?"

These words surprised her: "Do you know what kind of situation you are in?"

"I have done a lot of controlled experiments, and I feel that if I continue to chat with you, a certain knight who is listening in the corner will come directly with a knife."

As if to confirm his words, a young female voice that was not vague came from the window above the wall:

"Anqi-kun, is there something outside the window?"

"Uh, ah, nothing!"

Such a conversation made Omer look back and shrugged: "It seems that he even resisted letting me see Rikka Takarata."

"Knight does tend to be a bit... um... extreme in some aspects, especially when it comes to Gullit."

You might as well call it childish... Omer turned his head and looked at the wall on the other side. He raised his hand and put it on the wall. It was indeed obstructed, but he clenched it into a fist and beat it lightly without leaving any trace.

"Is there anyone in this room?"

"Yes, and it's a family of three. Although it's reasonable, it's a little strange."

"After all, there is Akane Shinjo in the Azalea Terrace in the lower dimension, but not here." Omo raised his hand and twisted the bridge of his nose.

"Yes, but considering the original situation of this city, after Akane Shinjo left, it is normal for her not to be here." The second generation said, turning to look at the Rikka family aside.

"Then there is Junk here in Takarata Rikka. There is no trace of Gurlitt's existence. It is really worrying that the initial investigation direction was wrong."

It's like Gurlitt's true body isn't actually here... or maybe there's still a lack of opportunity...

"No..."

Omer nodded and walked towards the entrance of the alley.

"Eh? Mr. Linton, do you want to go take a look? Then I will help you introduce Rikka Takarata..."

To be precise, it was to stop Knight, but that was not necessary. At the moment, Omo just waved his hand:
  "No, I don't know Gullit and the super agents any better than you do. I'm going back, to General Utsumi's home."

"Eh?"

"Adolescent boys and girls are always extremely sensitive. Whether the life they are accustomed to is broken, or the sudden advantage disappears in an instant, it will lead to psychological imbalance. Pay more attention to Knight, the second generation."

"What are you talking about?" The second generation was a little confused, as if he didn't realize that he and his partner were actually one of the boys and girls.

Perhaps it is indeed the state of the body that controls the mind.

As his body becomes more mature, the humanoid monster seems to have forgotten that he and his companions are in a state of mind that should only be in their teens.

"I'm saying that it's time for me to maintain the sense of superiority that my children deserve, and so do you."

　Tips about the second-generation official design: Although it is not directly shown in the animation, the character design written in the second-generation design script has a "feeling of a teenage girl" - it looks very adult in the TV animation ( Although the height is only 2)

　　Tips 2 about the second generation official design: In the radio drama, Ma Zhongpeng said that she and Knight looked like lovers, and her reaction was quite excited.

　　Tips about Knight in this book: A small part of Knight's great hostility towards Ormer comes from the second generation's invitation to Ormer to join the team.
