I, Hikigu, are contained by the evil god

Today, because he was holding on to the last thought, it was the first time for Hikigu to express his heart so undisguisedly, and it was also the first time he heard such a confirmed answer.

... Then he didn't say anything, just drank, and the meaning was obvious,

——It seems hypocritical to say anything, so I won’t say anything, it’s all in the wine!

After such a small episode in Biqigu, the relationship between everyone seems to be further improved, and the atmosphere of the chat is more enthusiastic and cordial. Everyone holds back the corners of their mouths to smile even in ordinary conversation, obviously there are not many topics to talk about. funny.

……

After dinner, everyone went home, and Hikigaya went back with his old neighbor, Ms. Kasumigaoka.

On the way home, Bi Qigu looked up at the sky. The clouds tonight were very thick, and the starlight shone in the dark clouds. On the contrary, it seemed that the star was very big, and the shining edge was like cotton wetted by water.

— just like their theme tonight.

Separation is as dignified and gloomy as dark clouds, but we are like the light of morning stars illuminating each other—even if we are separated temporarily, as long as we look up at the sky, we will definitely see each other's efforts to shine.

Everyone must work hard enough for the goodbye in the not-too-distant future, and be amazing enough when they strive for goodbye.

They all look forward to that day.

... As for Hiki Valley,

In his heavy yet relaxed heart, he didn't actually have this idea.

——He just felt that, should, probably, there was nothing left to regret and worry about.

Now, Agent Hikigu is ready enough to go deep into what may be one of the most secretive and dangerous places in the world.

--"hell."

Chapter 20 is finally here! "No Danger" ([-] in [-])

After the plane flew away, Hikiya realized that all the familiar people had gone away, and only him and Kaguya were left in Chiba.

In the following time, he repeated the behavior of the previous few days, and acted with Kaguya every day.

While acting every day, the tacit understanding between him and Kaguya is getting higher and higher, and the relationship between them seems to have a feeling of going further.

Just like that, two days later, at eight o'clock in the evening on August 8th, Hikigaya was watching TV with Komachi on the sofa, when the cell phone rang.

"Jingle bell-jingle bell-jingle bell!"

When Hikigu picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table and saw the caller ID, his eyes suddenly became serious - because the caller ID was Sakaski.

【coming】

Bi Qigu knew it well.

"I'll go take a call."

He stood up and said to Komachi.

Komachi nodded.

Hikigu went to the bedroom and gently closed the door.

He lowered his head and squinted at the vibrating mobile phone in his hand, took a deep breath, connected the phone, and lowered his voice:

"This is Hikigu."

"I'm Sakaski."

"...Master."

Hikigu yelled like this, and then he didn't know what to say, just listening to what the other party was about to say, he couldn't help holding his breath, and his heartbeat faintly accelerated.

"Well. You should know what I'm calling for, right?"

Sakaski's voice is also low, and Bibi Qigu is a little more serious,

--He said:

"are you ready?"

"..."

Bi Qigu was silent for a few seconds, then exhaled lightly, and replied firmly:

"Yes, Master, I am ready."

"...um." Sakaski paused for a few seconds before speaking,

"Then, from this moment on, you are the most wanted criminal of the association. This is an order issued by the headquarters of the association in person and solemnly conveyed by the branch of the Asia association."

"The reason is that the well-known hero of the association, Hikigu Hachiman, went awry in the process of evolution. He was taken advantage of by the ancient god's ravings and became a depraved agent. He is in a half-mad state and can only maintain his sanity occasionally."

Bi Qigu curled his lips, "The reason for wanting to be wanted is better than I imagined."

——At least it wasn't something so heinous as killing a colleague or endangering the world.

"Tomorrow at six o'clock in the morning, this arrest warrant will be issued to all branches of the association at the same time, and then you will face a sweeping search."

Hikigu nodded expressionlessly, "...um."

Sakaski's voice softened suddenly,

"...However, I will emphasize it in the arrest warrant, because your depraved factors are very special, and the corpse is highly polluting, so it is not suitable to kill outside, so you should try to capture it alive and bring it to the headquarters for disposal."

"—So your life safety is guaranteed to a large extent, and you don't have to worry too much and be nervous."

Sakaski's words eased Hikigu's expression a little, "I understand."

"So you're just putting on a good show that can fool fate."

Feeling that Hikigaya seemed a little too nervous, Sakaski comforted Hikigaya and said:

"In terms of danger, although it is true, it is far from as high as you think."

"Then I'm the hero?" Bi Qigu slammed his lips and said mockingly, "Playing an outlaw lunatic who is everyone's enemy? Sounds really exciting. If I was still in the second grade of junior high school, I would definitely Glad to be part of it.”

"Yes, that's right." Sakasky said, "In order to act as similar as possible, at least enough to meet the requirements of the ceremony, you need to escape under the pursuit of the association for more than 24 hours."

"I know it must be difficult, but you have to work hard, the arrangement at the headquarters will make it as easy as possible."

"Ritual?" Bi Qigu frowned, and said uncertainly, "I don't seem to have received the alchemy formation like the one I was in Iraq last time. Don't I need that kind of thing this time?"

"Don't worry, after you are arrested, we will engrave the ceremony on your body."

"Oh." Hikigu nodded, "So that's the case, I understand."

"After you wait 24 hours, if you haven't been caught, we can proceed to the next step smoothly... I will send the fifth stage to catch you directly at that time."

Hikigu has a question to ask: "What if I'm caught within 24 hours?"

After all, he was still young, and his voice couldn't hold back the slight tremor after all, "...really kill me, or hide me in the snow?"

"What are you thinking, Agent Biqigu!"

After Sakaski was stunned by Hikigu's question, his voice became a lot more serious, "Neither-you will be transported to the headquarters, and then you will stay in the headquarters for half a month, half a month later We will declare to the outside world that after our efforts to rescue and Hikigu's strong personal consciousness, he has overcome the ravings and successfully returned to normal."

"This..." Bi Qigu was dumbfounded, and his nervous state of mind suddenly improved a lot, "But will anyone really believe this?"

"Why not? You have already defeated the association more than once, and the association knows that you have many secrets."

"No one can say that he really understands the endless mysterious world. The reason why the mysterious world is called the mysterious world is because everyone is very ignorant in front of it. It is not impossible for Hikigu Hachiman to recover from a semi-degenerate state. something to understand."

Hikigu felt that what Sakaski said made sense, but he still felt that it was full of flaws: "Although it is true...has there been such a thing before?"

"In the thousands of years of the association's history, such experiences have indeed happened a few times, but the recovered agents all have their own secrets."

Biqigu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there is one... Just like what Sakasky said, Biqigu in the fourth stage has defeated the evil gods so many times, can there be no secrets in him?

Sakaski paused, and then said,

"However, the association has always held a conservative wait-and-see attitude towards the recovered agents, and no longer entrusts them with important tasks. You have to know that each of the agents with their own secrets had a bright future... But there is another What does it matter? I said long ago that if you have no way to go to hell to get rid of the mark of fate, then you have no way to become a high-level association, so it's all the same."

Hikigu nodded, "That's true, that is, the situation at that time will be the same as if I chose to do nothing."

"Yes." Sakaski was silent for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, and continued:

"...So, Hachiman."

"Until now, you still have a chance to regret it."

"Even if you have already been hunted down, you can still regret it... At that time, you only need to catch it with your hands, and everything will be as if it never happened."

——When he said this, even Sakasky himself didn't know, he wanted to hear some answer from Hikigaya.

"..." Kebi Qigu was only silent for two seconds before replying, "Well, I see."

The meaning of the sentence is ambiguous, but Bi Qigu has actually made his attitude clear.

——Although he did feel a lot more relaxed just now because of Sakaski’s words, he is not a person who wavers repeatedly in front of the choice...he is the kind of person who makes a choice that is very difficult before, but once he makes a choice, he will not make it again. Regret type.

Sakalski's eyelids were half shaded.

He is really not a competent master, nor is he a competent boss... At most, he is barely competent as a general of the association.

No one would push their own apprentice into a fire pit. The danger is not the arrest warrant at all, but the hell afterward... But in the process of arrest, the complicated feeling of being hunted down and betrayed by the whole world is the real ordeal.

Seeing Hikigu's firm choice, Sakaski felt very uncomfortable.

——But the destiny mark on Hikigaya is indeed going to be erased... The association does not lack a Hikigaya Hachiman who bears the mark and cannot bear the heavy responsibility, but needs a Hikigaya agent who has washed away the mark and has a bright future.

On a bigger scale, if Biqigu can grow up, Sakaski thinks that Biqigu may become his next self... and a general of the association is enough to keep the mysterious world of a continent in order for 100 years. No amount of risk is necessary.

So from the perspective of the master and the boss, Sakaski, who has just lost a Kisho Arima, does not want to have another accident with Hikigu, even if there is no achievement in the future, then there will be no achievement.

——But from the point of view of the association as a whole, Sakasky has no choice.

That's why he often shows a vacillating attitude, because even he himself doesn't know how to choose...that is, Hikigu's choice is always firm, and he doesn't give Sakalski a chance to sway, otherwise Sakalski But it's really going to be entangled, not like the general of the association who is famous for his decisiveness and iron blood.

"...Then, you can prepare now."

On the other end of the phone, Sakaski raised his hand to take out a cigar from the table, but his hand stopped in mid-air, and finally retracted.

He says,

"From now until six o'clock tomorrow morning, you can act as you please, and you are still that Biqigu agent."

"During this period, you'd better take the opportunity to leave Chiba City secretly and sneak all the way...Otherwise, once the association's machines are in operation, it will be difficult for you to escape."

"Okay." Hikigu continued to nod, "I understand."

"One more thing," Sakaski explained again, "You have to take advantage of this time to go to the branch of the association in Chiba City."

Bi Qigu was stunned, "What are you doing there?"

"I left some things you might need there. They are all in the shelter of the Chiba City Association. The innermost room on the second floor of the shelter is the one on the right."

"By the way, you can get some bullets and potions from the association. You must bring sufficient equipment... After all, it is not only the agents of the association who are chasing and killing you, but also those illegal and secretive people from non-associations who are jealous of the wanted rewards."

Hikigu narrowed his eyes, firmly remembering the information in Sakaski's words, "Okay, I will get it,"

"—By the way, Master, there is one more thing."

Hikigu thought of another question,

"I'm leaving overnight tonight, what about Hui Ye?"

"Shinomiya Kaguya?"

"Correct."

"As I said before, just pretend she didn't have that dream, or even pretend she doesn't exist... Just do what you have to do, let nature take its course, don't worry about it."

"Fate will lead her where she should have been," Sakalski said.

"Okay, got it." Hikigu nodded.

"Then, do you still have any confusion?" Sakarski looked very patient.

Hikigu shook his head, "Not anymore."

"……That,"

Sakaski had a complex expression,

"The next thing is up to you."

"……Um."

Bi Qigu pursed his lips, with a serious expression, a low voice, and a firm light in his eyes:

"I won't let you down."
