Spinning the katana sword I was holding, I hummed.
"If only I could, I would go with you. If only I could, I definitely wouldn't have left you there. If only I could, I would never let you down. Oooohhh... Surti, you insolent maid! Never come back to this house again, Surti!"
A lot of people are looking at me because I'm suddenly like that. They were all confused by what I was doing, even their concentration was a little messed up because of me.
Several people dressed in white uniforms and blue pants/skirts approached me and asked me to stay away from this place, but I casually continued walking towards the creatures.
Because I was bored with the song, I changed the song, "The world... is not just fun, the world also has sadness. Therefore, never do anything excessive if you live in this world. Ooohhh... Taryo, why did you take Surti from me? You are so insolent! You fired me!"
"Akio..."
Hearing Shiva's voice, I immediately turned to her.
"Why?"
"What are you doing there? Stay away! There is danger! Getaway quickly!"
I can assure you that some people turned around when Shiva told me that to see what happened.
"Oh, I know that. Don't worry, I can still sing again."
"No, that's not what I meant. Behind you... behind you so much Astral there! Stay away!"
What Shiva said is true, behind me there are indeed many Astral Beings, including the village chief. But even so, I've already advanced too close to them, so I won't have time to move away anymore.
BANG! BANG! BANG! A woman shot a right behind me and killed several Astral Beings there. And when the bullet passed me, it was so ringing in my ears.
"Ow." I covered my ears.
"Stay away, while you still have time! I will take care of you!"
She asked me to stay away from her and even she cares about my safety. But still, I have to join the fight too so I can work.
If I stayed there, I'd get bored and look like a loser who usually takes cover. Therefore, since I'm already wielding the katana sword, I have to help them in this fight.
"Oh! Did you hear that?"
When my ears felt a little better, I slowly lowered my hand and put my katana sword into its scabbard.
1... 2... 3... 10 Astral Beings were in front of me right now, and their shape resembled a dog, which was 5 times bigger than a normal dog and had red eyes and purplish-black skin looking as hard as a rock.
Taking a deep breath and getting into a stance, I smiled at the creatures.
"Come to papa!"
Unlocking the scabbard of this katana, I slowly pushed the hilt of the katana sword slightly out of the scabbard.
When the 2 Astral Beings jumped at me, again the sound of gunshots rang in my ears and caused the two Astrals to shoot.
"What do you do there? You can die, run away quickly!"
The woman was protecting me again, but this time with her rifle.
I turned around and lowered my head while.
"Thank you for protecting." I then turned again towards the creatures.
"Lifelike COWBOY... HUAAAHHH!!!"
Hearing the voice of the bald man behind me, I felt that he had returned to shooting at the creatures after reloading the bullets, and the sound of the machine gun was great there.
"Thank you for lending me this katana." I slowly walked towards the creatures, including the 2 creatures that were lying on the ground because they were hit by the woman earlier. "Now… time for action."
Running towards the creatures, I unsheathed my katana and avoided the 2 creatures that were on the ground since they were still alive.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! I stabbed, slashed, and struck several parts of the creatures' bodies.
When I realized that the two creatures that were on the ground had risen and were jumping at me, I jumped to the side.
Having managed to dodge it and while still near them, I grabbed the hilt of my katana with both hands and slashed at the head of one creature.
I managed to slash its head, but the creature was still able to move towards me and prepare to attack with its claws.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Shiva suddenly shot the creature from a distance with the woman.
"Akio, you are…"
"Ah, thank you," I said, after landing on the ground.
Even though I managed to slash, stab, and defeat a few of those creatures, they were still alive with a body condition that was like it had returned to its original state, to be more precise, regenerating.
"It turns out that you guys are hard to kill huh, you monsters!" I put the katana sword into the scabbard, then I unlocked the scabbard and mounted the stance.
Grasping the hilt of the katana with my right hand, I prepared to slash them with one slash and hoped for the creatures' bodies to be chopped off.
As the 4 creatures jumped up and exposed their hooves, I immediately drew my katana and slashed at them while they were still in the air. And in terms of results, only 2 creatures were cut off from their body parts.
When the 2 creatures managed to survive my attack, the 2 creatures were still in the air and getting closer to me.
But luckily...
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Shiva helped me and shot the 2 creatures.
"Akio, don't die! I will protect you from here!"
Getting close to Shiva's words excites me and keeps my breathing pattern in check.
She supports what I'm doing and is even willing to protect against it. But she also looks exhausted from fighting non-stop, I feel sorry for her.
"Shiva-chan... sorry to trouble you," I said quietly so she wouldn't hear. I then stood up straight and put my katana sword into the sheath that was on my left waist.
Since this hospital outfit has a strap on the stomach, I'm using it as a support for the katana's scabbard there. And luckily these clothes are light for me to move. Therefore, I will try to run and slash the creatures until there are none left.
"Shiva!"
However, what I wanted I could not do because I saw the village chief approaching Shiva and her friends and I was confronted by 6 creatures in front of me.
My breathing pattern is a little unsettled because of this, so I can't calm down.
"Calm down, Akio. Calm down… calm down… calm down." Trying to catch my breath to calm down, that's what I was doing while closing my eyes before the 6 creatures attacked me.
When I felt that I had regained my composure, I unconsciously opened my eyes and saw that my left vision was no longer clear.
"AH..."
Before I closed my left eye, I saw something white and tickled in several parts of the creatures' bodies, some on their legs, some on their necks, and some on their tails.
It is shaped like a human heart but so small and keeps beating.
DEG-DEG!
I immediately tried to look at the village chief and managed to see the white thing there, right on the back of his right.
But after a few moments, my left eye immediately went black and I couldn't see anything anymore.
When I closed and held my left eye, I felt something on the palm of my left hand which was holding my left eye. Curious about that, I immediately looked at the palm of my left hand and saw that my left hand was filled with red.
"What is this?"
Before I knew what it was, the 6 creatures jumped at me and prepared to attack me who was still confused.
Since it made me uneasy, I was a little wobbly and couldn't catch my breath properly. And as a result, while jumping sideways to avoid the 6 creatures, the 3 creatures managed to injure my body with their claws.
"Akio!!!" Shiva screamed while backing away and fired to get away from the village chief.
Receiving a gash in the stomach and it made me slightly weak, I lay on the ground.
"Haaa..." My breath was so shaky, I even felt that I couldn't stand up right now. "It's bad, I let my guard down."
The 6 creatures began to approach me with an extraordinary astonishing air. My heart was beating so fast it felt like it was going to burst out of there. My legs and all parts of my body were so weak, I couldn't stand up. The wound I received was still bleeding, even so much. This condition is my fault for being careless, not paying attention to my surroundings.
"Akio!!!" Shiva was still screaming my name and kept shooting at the village chief. Her friends helped, but because the regeneration of the village chief was so fast, their fire was a waste.
Tried to stand up, but I couldn't. Tried to crawl away from the 6 creatures, but behind me was already another Astral Being. Asked them for help, but it was useless because they were preoccupied with other Astral Beings in front of them. One option only...
"Power Guns!"
A blue light hits the 6 beings coming from behind Shiva.
Looking for the source, I immediately turned in that direction and saw a black-haired woman aiming her rifle at me, and shooting the village chief.
"If you don't want to die, don't lie there!"
Hearing the voice of that woman, the woman who is Shiva's captain, I immediately tried to stand up with all my might.
"Ah, you're right, I don't want to die."
Even though blood continued to fall to the ground from this wound, but I continued to stand up.
Having managed to stand up and my balance was wobbling to the side and so weak with my left eye still closed, I slowly walked over to where Shiva was.
"Ah… ah… ah…"
"Akio..."
Seeing the village chief's body which was still being fired upon by them and not making him move an inch, I walked over to him and drew my katana.
"What do you want to do? Stay away, you might get shot later!"
I ignored her words and continued walking towards the village chief.
I realized that the shot wouldn't hit me because I was behind the village chief's body and positioned myself well enough to be level with him. And I also realized that what they did to the village chief was useless, shot him, and kept shooting at him.
If what I saw was the truth, then I would give it a try right now.
When I got behind him, I immediately grabbed the hilt of my katana with both hands and slashed at his right back, and made him fall instantly.
But sadly, they didn't stop their fire and made the bullets aim at me.
"Stop shooting! Tch." The black-haired woman quickly threw her rifle, ran at me, jumped, lunged, and caught me until we fell to the ground.
When I saw her sitting on top of me, I said, "Thank you, I was saved again because of you."
She looked at my closed left eye.
"What's wrong with your eye?"
I then put my hand to her cheek and pushed her slightly forward.
"Smile, you will look so beautiful. No matter how much suffering you face, smile! You will be happy."
And after that, I fainted.
After I fainted, Karin stood up and turned to Shiva.
"Shiva…"
"Yes?"
"Bring your friend inside. Give him help, the wound is so deep."
"OK, ready, Captain." Shiva immediately ran and took me to the hospital.
After a while, the police cars had arrived here and Karin's face looked so annoyed to see them.
"Usually, reinforcements are always late!"
A man in a white uniform and blue pants got out of the car and said to his communication device, "Tanaka Sakamoto, Team 1, Cop Squad, has arrived. We are ready to eradicate all those creatures. Roger, understood."
Then several people in the same uniform got out of the police car with adequate weapons.
"Prepare the bulwarks, we will anticipate their attacks."
"OK, Captain."
When the man named Tanaka Sakamoto saw Karin, he walked over to her.
"What about her condition, Nakano-san?"
With a haughty face and not smiling, Karin smacked her lips with a "tch" sound, then she turned around and went back to helping her squad.
Tanaka Sakamoto who felt guilty for being late walked over.
"Geez, you haven't changed at all, have you always been mean to other people. I'm sorry for being late, so let's work together, Nakano-san."
"Shut up! You just do your job properly, don't talk to me!"
"Okay, okay, okay." Tanaka Sakamoto prepared a longsword, then he ran towards the creatures, "cover me!"
"Roger!" And Cop Squad and AAT Squad fired at the creatures while protecting Tanaka who was approaching the creatures.
"Ah, this is so annoying. It's because of you that my sleep is disturbed! Die, so that I can continue my sleep again," said Tanaka Sakamoto, swinging his sword.
