Chapter 51: The Shocking First Punch of Kyoto
At the same time as saying this, Yoru had already flashed in front of another kidnapper. His right hand reached out and clasped the opponent's head, slamming it against the wall with casual ease, exploding a patch of blood red.
"D-Damn it!"
Only then did the remaining few kidnappers finally react. The leader, holding a semi-automatic rifle, aimed at Yoru without hesitation and pulled the trigger.
"Die, die, die!"
Accompanied by flashes of fire from the muzzle and deafening gunshots, a barrage of bullets shot out from the rifle. Although the leader's aim wasn't very good, about one-fifth of the bullets still flew towards Yoru standing there.
Facing this storm of bullets, Yoru didn't even need to speak. The tall figure of Hachishaku instantly appeared in front of him.
Bullets impacted Hachishaku's body one after another, causing her to frown.
However, just three or four seconds later, the bullets that had entered Hachishaku's body were expelled, falling to the ground with crisp sounds.
The bullet holes on her body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Under the premise of "Seeing," evil spirits could harm humans, and humans could also harm evil spirits.
But only spirit mediums could kill evil spirits.
In other words.
If the one shooting were Yoru, then Hachishaku, as an evil spirit, would risk dissipation.
The key wasn't the gun itself, but the person using the gun.
From the very beginning, this was not a fair fight.
For the kidnappers, victory was never an option.
From the moment Hachishaku and the Pale Ghost Hand manifested to the end of the battle, less than seven seconds had passed in total.
Seven seconds.
Twenty-three kidnappers, all dead in extremely gruesome ways.
"Solved."
Yoru turned around, looked at the teachers and students held hostage, and smiled lightly.
"Not leaving yet? Waiting for dinner?"
Hearing this, the staff of Kyoto Municipal Kindergarten finally snapped back to reality. Looking at the bloody scene not far away, they suppressed the fear and nausea that made them want to vomit, and hurriedly led the students out.
Watching the scene before him, Yoru nodded noncommittally. As expected of the best kindergarten in Kyoto; the quality of the teachers is remarkably high.
Under such circumstances, not running away on their own and remembering to take the children with them—it was indeed not easy.
Just then, a very cute little girl with light blue hair approached Yoru cautiously and tugged at his sleeve.
"Um... Big Brother." (Onii-chan).
"What is it? Little Sister."
The light-blue-haired girl looked shy and adorable, speaking softly and hesitantly.
"Th... Thank you for saving us. Big Brother, are you a hero?"
Yoru patted the little girl's head, chuckled, and shook his head.
"No, I'm just a passing-through Kamen Rider."
"Kamen... Rider?"
"Just teasing you. Hurry up and leave with your teacher."
The little girl nodded obediently. When she reached the door, she turned back to look at Yoru, smiled sweetly, and waved.
"Goodbye, Big Brother."
"Bye-bye."
After the light-blue-haired girl left, Yoru sucked in a breath of cold air.
It wasn't that he had any strange proclivities.
But the girl calling him "Big Brother" triggered a certain image in his mind he didn't want to recall, almost setting off his PTSD.
After all the teachers and students had left, Yoru saw a beautiful female teacher sitting on the ground, rubbing her ankle. She wore a black pencil skirt, sexy black stockings, and patent leather high heels. Her figure was extremely hot with curves in all the right places. Her pretty eyebrows were slightly knitted.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing Yoru's inquiry, the female teacher's slender white fingers stroked her ankle wrapped in black silk, her movements exuding a pitiable allure. She spoke with a slight sob in her voice.
"I... I sprained my ankle. Could you please help me out?"
"Sure."
Yoru acted as if bewitched by her beauty and leaned in to help the female teacher up.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she stumbled, causing a certain towering and ample part of her body to rub constantly against his hand.
"S-Sorry."
The female teacher's face flushed red, and she breathed orchid-scented air into Yoru's ear.
"It's fine, no need to apologize. Are you a teacher here?"
"Yes."
Hearing this answer, Yoru smiled and waved his hand. Under the mask, however, a cruel and ruthless look appeared in his eyes.
"No need to apologize..."
"Just let me eat you."
Before the female teacher could react, Yoru suddenly swung his right fist, delivering a heavy blow to her abdomen.
Immediately after, he swung his left fist, knocking the female teacher's body into the air.
"First move: Show Stopper (Facebreaker)!"
While the female teacher's feet were off the ground and she was floating in mid-air, Yoru reached out with his right hand formed into a claw and pulled her towards him.
"Second move: Facebreaker!"
Bang!
Accompanied by a dull thud, a left punch thrown with Yoru's full strength hit the female teacher square in the chest.
"Third move: Haymaker!"
"And next..."
Yoru didn't give her any time to react. His combo could only be described as silky smooth. He grabbed the dazed female teacher, hoisted her onto his shoulder, and with an extremely flashy posture, slammed her heavily onto the floor.
Bang!
The force he used was so great that fine cracks even appeared on the marble floor tiles.
"Final move: The Show Stopper!"
This set of silky smooth combos left Hachishaku and the Pale Ghost Hand dumbfounded.
Especially Hachishaku.
She felt that as a female evil spirit, this combo would deal Super Effective damage to her.
This could be called the Shocking First Punch of Kyoto Municipal Kindergarten.
The next second.
The body of the female teacher lying on the ground, whose life or death was uncertain, suddenly began to twist weirdly.
The beautiful skin was just a disguise.
Hidden beneath was an evil spirit with disheveled hair, a neck twisted like a snake's body, pale sharp fangs reflecting cold light, a terrifying face like a hellish demon, eyes filled with deep malice, and a dark green body.
"Wh... Why..."
Having taken Yoru's full combo, the evil spirit was already breathing in more than out, its body becoming semi-transparent.
She couldn't understand why her plan—disguising as a female teacher and manipulating the kidnappers from the shadows, a seemingly seamless plan—was ruined by the person in front of her.
Even her last-ditch attempt to ambush and kill him was completely seen through.
"Heh, idiot."
Yoru stepped on the evil spirit's abdomen, looked down at her from above, opened his mouth slightly to begin devouring, and said faintly.
"Kindergarten teachers can't wear high heels at work."
