only monsters

Azalea Terrace High School.

As the only high school in the small city of Azalea Dai in Tokyo, it has an astonishing number of teachers and students and an area of ​​​​space.

The latter can be seen at a glance, and the former can also be reflected in the number of students scattered everywhere after class.

Precisely because of this, in this cookie-cutter high school recess scene, the meeting of the two young people seems so inconspicuous until you realize that they are a little sneaky.

In other words, it was basically the boy with blue-green hair who was sneaking around, while the boy with blond hair and red eyes just glanced at him lightly.

"Anything gained? I can only move for ten minutes."

"I stole the student roster of Class 2-E. Take a look."

"Rikka Takarata, Akane Shinjo, Sho Utsumi, Yuta Hibiki... Yuta Hibiki didn't report?" The boy frowned slightly, which was a rare mood swing for him.

"Based on his relationship with Gullit, he might have woken up from the beginning." The blue-green haired boy sighed.

"What about Peng?"

"Which one are you asking? The one on Rex-Sang's side or your teammate? Peng Sang on Rex-Sang's side doesn't seem to have woken up, but your teammate's Peng-Sang..."

"It seems like he was just absent."

"If he is not the same as Ghost Snake, Shijia, and Shima, then he is like me using the power of monsters to resist the world and lurking somewhere."

"You have to find it, but there is something worth mentioning," Utsumi touched his chin, "Peng over at Rex-san, although he has no memory of monsters at all, he can actually tell There are a lot of scandals about Omo and Akane’s relationship.”

"..." Shen fell silent.

I didn't know how to react.

But Utsumi will react on his behalf.

"It's hard to evaluate, isn't it?"

Rumors that Akane was dating a foreign college student were spread everywhere, and there was even talk of an early engagement. It reminded me that Rikka had such a rumor half a year ago, and it scared Yuta to death... In the end, A misunderstanding solved by Omer. "

"But does it look like a misunderstanding this time?" Shen Youyou asked.

"Uh... It doesn't look fake." Utsumi faced the fact that the girl he once had a crush on now has someone he likes, and he is someone he knows.

But Shen didn't understand the complexity, but suddenly asked: "What about Hibiki Yuta and Takarata Rikka?"

"I asked around the corner, but there was no relationship." Utsumi shook his head regretfully.

"Then it's not the type of world where all your wishes come true." Shen thought thoughtfully.

I have seen the "dream-realizing" power of the joy and sorrow monster Gnix manipulated by the raccoon dog, and I have also been used to construct "beautiful dreams" by the elephant-less monster here. Shen is not unfamiliar with this situation.

But Inner Sea, who also experienced the dream of monsters with and without elephants, made a negative guess:

"Hard to say."

"After all, Yuta shouldn't have been brainwashed from the beginning. Even if he realizes his dream, he will definitely not take Yuta with him, but it may just be a simple evolution."

"Can pure evolution recruit all those things?"

Shen turned his head and looked at the distant sky.

Looking at the sky that seems to be covered with clouds, but in fact every cloud is shaking and swaying, and there is even a faint red light projected on the sky.

Where are the clouds? They are clearly a group of monsters that are surrounding this world!

Even if they haven't attacked directly, they are like projections from another space, just watching the world here, which still makes Shen feel a lot of pressure.

"Those things...are you sure Omer's monster is in them too?"

The Inland Sea has no close connection with monsters. Looking at the sky, I just feel that today's weather is not ideal, and I can't see clearly the outlines of the claws and teeth above.

But Shen did tell him that.

It had the aura of Omo's monster cards - with his sensitivity to monsters, Utsumi didn't doubt his words, it was just that he couldn't see them, which made it even more unbelievable.

"He was deprived of those monster powers and their corresponding emotions. He should be in the worst condition among us. Have you found out where he lives?"

"Yes!" Utsumi nodded quickly, "He is living with Akane. Akane's home should still be next door to Rikka."

"But what you mean when you say he was deprived of his emotions is..."

"Emotions, sorrows, sorrows, he has used too many monster cards, and those monsters reflect his heart."

Shen said that today may be the day he talks the most.

"The result of being deprived is very likely to make him become the most empty existence in the world."

"Then the rainbow snake wandering around the city is..."

Utsumi suddenly remembered that the other party had mentioned such a unique existence.

Not in the sky, but on the ground, and seemed to be wandering aimlessly. "I have no idea."

"Eh?"

"He is a monster, but not quite."

Shen turned his head and looked at the strange existence that was more than fifty meters away.

The existence looked like an individual figure, but in Shen's eyes, the huge body reflected two overlapping figures, and it was even more massive and majestic that even his long life could not reach.

"I can't connect with Him using my monster controller abilities, and I can't hear His voice."

"He is not something that belongs to Omo's emotions and desires, but I don't know exactly what it is."

"Then, is it okay to let Him walk around like that?"

"It doesn't matter, He has never attacked anyone."

Shen said, handing the paper in his hand back to Nei Hai: "Let Peng wake up as soon as possible, and I will also take the ghost snake and the others away directly depending on the situation."

"Then should I follow Omo's previous instructions and try to find Zero and the others?"

"...I don't know." He continued to repeat the excellent answer.

Although Shen is the purest monster user in the team and the backbone of the team when they are desperate, he is really not good at commanding others, let alone defining others.

After all, he himself is still in a period where he doesn't understand a lot and is still trying to understand and learn.

"But Omer must be awakened, otherwise, as he said, we have to be wary of all Omer Lintons."

"What do you mean?" Neihai was stunned.

"Those monsters, every monster that he ever controlled, is now him."

"It's all Omer Linton."

"...Is this similar to...the relationship between Gullit and the middle school students at the beginning of the new century?"

Utsumi, who used to be impatient to interrupt when the latter mentioned his identity, would now look for opportunities to fill in the information that he should have known.

"Yes, he was broken up very much...it's a bit strange..."

Shen said, as if he had a premonition of the remaining time, and started to take steps. Neihai watched his back go away, but couldn't help but jog a few steps to keep up with the figure who was not waiting for him.

"strangeness?"

"He was targeted very thoroughly. This was a scene that should not have happened. The source of the madness should have no self-awareness and emotion."

"Uh... Even if you don't have emotions, it's natural to take action to eliminate threats, right?"

"Indeed, but in this case, you have to pay attention to Akane Shinjo."

"Pay attention to Akane Shinjo? Why?"

"She is a god. She is the second being after Hibiki Yuta who is least likely to be able to contain herself."

"If she hasn't taken the initiative to do something..." Shen's steps didn't stop, but his words paused, not sure.

But he is more familiar with the other party's inland sea than he is, so he will confirm it for him.

"She also has her own plans? Or is it invisible support? In short, we have to wake up Omo quickly. We are not sure about this situation now."

"It's enough for me to do that kind of thing. You must hurry up and wake up Peng."

As he spoke, he had already reached the edge of the school gate. Under Neihai's stunned gaze, he transformed into an increasingly larger silver beast and stepped out with huge feet that could give the asphalt a strong test.

The other students near the school gate turned a blind eye to such a shocking scenery.

Only Akane Shinjo, who was not far away in front of the window sill on the fourth floor, was boredly responding to Rikka and Mengmei's conversation about backpacks. She watched the monster go away, and then looked back at the mobile phone in her hand.

On the screen above, the data fluctuations about the entire world are clearly visible.

Internal and external collaborative observations from two laboratories gave her a clearer macroscopic vision.

The largest values ​​​​were concentrated on her and the little snake, making it clear that she had arrived at the school, but she couldn't help but turn back due to sudden heart palpitations.

"Rikka, can you help me ask the homeroom teacher for a leave?"

"Eh?"

Rikka was still stunned by the sudden request, but Akane was already running towards the exit of the classroom at an unexpected speed.

"The people at home need my care! Tell me!"
