When Shiryu was on the way.
On the second floor of a company, a battle was taking place. Gunshots were heard, many men in black suits who were the guards of the company's boss were shooting at two intruders with firearms.
The two intruders were a man and a woman. With pistols and swords in their hands, they had killed several bodyguards and even yakuza mixed among them.
Those people were the cancer of society.
Before the zombie pandemic started, the boss of the company— Hideo Aranami was a corrupt businessman.
But now... He dared to order his subordinates to lock up the women who took refuge in his company, and play with them.
He also monopolized the supply of food and water around for himself and his subordinates.
And used that to make the female survivors including the women in his company submit to him.
Arashi Mikami knew this after he and his partner, Mikoto Kiba arrived and saw the situation inside the company while pretending to be survivors.
After confirming the actions of Hideo Aranami who was the target of their organization, they did not hesitate to try to kill him.
That was why this battle took place.
"What are you guys doing? There are many of us. Attack them together!"
One of the guards shouted at the other guards.
They began firing blindly, and did not care when the yakuza in their group were shot.
However, Mikoto jumped nimbly between each pillar until her breasts jiggled to avoid the bullets.
"Arashi! You take the left side, I'll take care of the rest. Don't let any of them get in my way!"
She said that to her partner and junior at school.
Actually, they were both high school students, but had other identities as Black Label members.
But unlike her, Arashi was a member who had just joined since yesterday. This was his first mission to eradicate the cancers of society, she was helping him.
"Understood. Clear the path in 30 seconds." Arashi said before lunging at one of the guards, knocking his weapon loose, then kicking him into the wall.
"Bastards! Who the hell are you?! Police?!" Another guard who saw his comrades being defeated shouted in annoyance.
Arashi slapped the guard, caught his hand and slammed it down. "We are not the law. We are the medicine you must swallow."
Sounds cool.
But to some people, Shiryu was one of them. The protagonist of Triage X spoke like a teenager with eighth grade syndrome.
In this country, it was called Chuunibyou.
Mikoto slashed at the opponent's weapon with her sword. "You talk too much, Arashi! Focus on the other guards in front of you!"
Hearing this, Arashi sighed. He was sure he had said very little when he came here. And weren't those the words members had to say when operating?
He was just following the rules of the organization.
"Haa!" Mikoto performed a round of kicks that took down two people at once, while Arashi used close-quarter combat tactics to take out several guards and other yakuza.
A guard in the back row was trembling, he was frantically trying to reload. "Y-You guys are monsters..."
Mikoto was about to reply that they were not monsters, but before that— a copy of Shiryu's diary suddenly appeared in front of her.
'This again... How can I stop this book from suddenly appearing in front of me?'
She complained in her heart, but curiously read what Shiryu wrote quickly this time.
By the way, you were right.
Mikoto is also one of the holders of a copy of Shiryu's diary. That is, she is a heroine.
And yes, she was beautiful of course.
With average height, hip-length silvery gray hair with shorter bangs and a bit of long hair hanging down the front of her body.
She also had gold-colored eyes behind her special glasses, and her chest size was relatively large for her height.
[Do I even need to help? They seem to be close to finishing the battle.]
[Long story short, I received another quest and this time it was to help one of the parties fighting in a certain company. I didn't expect one of the parties to contain the protagonist of Triage X, Arashi Mikami and one of the heroines— Mikoto Kiba.]
[This scene reminded me of the episode where it was a mission to kill a corrupt businessman. However, there were many zombies outside the company. I should bother killing them all before coming here.]
Mikoto was surprised.
The protagonist of Triage X is a new member of the organization, Arashi!?
And she's also one of the heroines?
Wait, come to think of it. She remembered that Shiryu had written that her protagonist was a high school boy.
She hadn't expected that boy to be Arashi.
'Still, Shiryu came here?'
Mikoto looked around for the whereabouts of the person she was thinking about.
Arashi did not know why Mikoto's focus was suddenly distracted, she was careless! He hurriedly replied to the words of one of the remaining guards to draw the enemies' attention to him.
"Monsters are created by people like your boss. Tell Hideo... his doctors have arrived."
He said that while staring at the guards and yakuza in front of him with a cold gaze.
[Heh, protagonist Arashi is good at saying those kinds of words. I feel a little amused.]
[With that kind of ability, he might as well star in Bollywood movies.]
Arashi didn't know someone was mocking his speaking style.
Mikoto's lips twitched. In fact, it was she who taught Arashi not to forget to say words like that.
Suddenly, she felt a little embarrassed.
"....." Arashi, he did not know why Mikoto was looking at him awkwardly.
His focus was also distracted and because of that, he belatedly realized their target had snuck up from behind.
He widened his eyes and panicked.
"Hahaha! Die, bitch! How dare you disturb my fun time!"
Hideo appeared behind Mikoto while pointing a gun at her head. From his outfit consisting of only shorts, he had obviously been having fun with the women he had made into toys in the other room.
But put that aside.
Just as he was about to squeeze the trigger of the gun in his hand.
"Mikoto!" Arashi shouted anxiously.
At the same time, an office office chair flew out very quickly and hit Hideo in the head.
*Boom!*
A loud and painful crashing sound rang out.
The guards, yakuza, Arashi and even Mikoto were stunned.
Hideo was dead, he was lying on the floor with his head filled with blood and eyes completely white.
Some of his teeth were also lying around.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from the other side and everyone could see the figure of a handsome red-haired man with warrior-like muscles.
Who else but Shiryu?
"With this, there's a point in me coming."
"You... You killed our boss! Everyone, shoot him!"
One of the guards ordered the other remaining guards to attack him.
"Shiryu, be careful!" Mikoto called out his name and seemed to be worried about him?
Arashi was curious about Shiryu's identity and thought he might be another Black Label member.
After all, Mikoto recognized him.
Shiryu did not panic, he again used the Blood Pointer and moved like a shadow enveloped in green light. He avoided the hail of bullets coming at him, killing all the remaining guards and yakuza with just his fist.
The process only lasted for six or seven seconds.
"This is the real monster..." Arashi muttered and didn't think Shiryu was human.
What human could emit green light from his body?
He was superhuman!
Mikoto was also amazed, but unlike Arashi, she had seen other humans who could be called monsters.
For example her seniors, Yuko and Sayo. If they were here, it wouldn't take them long just to defeat the guards and yakuza that numbered more than 50 people.
"Hey, you must be Mikoto Kiba." Shiryu deactivated the Blood Pointer and walked over to the girl he was referring to.
As for the protagonist Arashi? He ignored him for the time being.
"You really know who I am? Thanks for the help, you saved me too."
Mikoto stood facing the man in front of her and thanked him. Still, she could not help but glance at his face and think this was the owner of the diary?
He's so handsome.
Ahem! Of course, it was not like she fell in love with him just because of that.
Don't misunderstand.
She at least had a good impression of him.
"You're welcome. You also know who I am even though it's our first time meeting. That's natural of course, you also seem to have it, right?"
Shiryu asked about the copy of his diary distributed by System-chan.
Mikoto nodded, "Yes, I have it."
While the two were talking with words only understood by them.
Arashi couldn't help asking, "Excuse me, what exactly are you guys talking about and this guy... Mikoto, he's not a senior member of the organization?"
"That..." Mikoto did not know how to explain.
Shiryu answered for her, "I'm not a Black Label member, but I know Mikoto and everyone in the Black Label members including you, Arashi Mikami. By the way, we're also the same age. I'm actually a high school student."
"A high school student like me?! But how do you know us and have such power..."
Arashi was dumbfounded, but also quite wary of the man in front of him. For some reason, he also felt disturbed when he saw him standing so close to Mikoto.
He unconsciously frowned.
"Am I being interrogated?" Shiryu made an amused expression.
He could feel a hint of hostility from the protagonist.
Although he had not provoked him.
Oh, is it because he now looks close to Mikoto? In the original work, Arashi did not look like a protagonist who was possessive of the women around him.
But that might just be because there are no other men close to those women besides him.
This will be fun, Shiryu thought.
Mikoto was worried that Shiryu would take offense. After all, he had saved her. She glared at Arashi and reprimanded him, "Enough, Arashi! You're a new member, there are many things you don't know. But that doesn't mean you should demand all the answers from Shiryu, especially after he helped us."
"Sorry Shiryu, my fault. I was just curious."
Unlike protagonist Takashi, Arashi was calmer and didn't mind apologizing after Mikoto gave him a sharp look.
He scratched the back of his head with a wry smile.
Still, he felt uncomfortable with Shiryu's presence. He himself did not know why.
If Shiryu had to answer, it was probably because he was attracted to Mikoto and wanted her to be one of his future wives.
[Is it just my feelings or are you aiming to build a big harem, host?]
System-chan, it's not a big harem, but a big family.
I can't bear to see those beautiful women suffer like in the original work.
So, I was forced to do this!
[....]
You said you were forced to?
System-chan can't believe it!
"It's okay, Arashi. But to satisfy your curiosity. I can only tell you that I, or rather my group has made an alliance with Black Label. This alliance aims to find a vaccine/antibody for the virus now spreading in society and destroy the perpetrators behind it."
"Alliance?" Not only Arashi, but Mikoto also seemed to be hearing that for the first time.
Shiryu was completely confused, "Has Yuko still not told you two?"
Arashi fell silent.
Mikoto replied awkwardly, "Actually, due to the mission to kill these cancers of society, we haven't gotten together with Yuko and the other Black Label members."
Of course as the owner of a copy of the diary, she knew who the perpetrators Shiryu was referring to were.
It was their organization's sworn enemy, the Syringe Organization.
Arashi himself did not know who Yuko was. He had yet to meet her and many other Black Label members.
After all, he was brought into their organization by Dr. Masamune Mochizuki (founder of Mochizuki General Hospital and leader of the Black Label organization) yesterday.
"I see." Shiryu placed one of his hands on Mikoto's shoulder.
Arashi frowned again.
Hehe, it was fun provoking the protagonist in these ways.
"Give my regards to Yuko, Sayo and the others when you return to the hospital. Now, I must hurry back to where my group is."
There was also Miku who she had left alone in his house.
He could only woo Mikoto this far and continue later.
"Alright, I'll do that."
Mikoto smiled and soon, they parted ways with Shiryu.
But before leaving, she and Arashi relieved the ladies at Hideo's company first and arranged some things for them.
She did not notice at all that on the way to the hospital/headquarters of the Black Label organization, Arashi seemed a little glum.
On the other side.
Shiryu sat on a long chair on the sidewalk. A few zombies, lying around, he himself had killed them a moment ago.
He was actually in no hurry to return to the shelter and checked the rewards he got from the quest first.
[Ding! The host has helped the two Black Label members to remove the cancer of society.]
That was obvious.
After all, why would he side with the villains?
He was a good citizen.
System-chan tried to ignore her host's inner monologue.
[As a reward for your hard work, you get one random reward.]
[Do you want to check it now?]
"Yes."
[You have obtained the Taima Particle.]
[Description: Taima Particles are a special form of energy found in the bodies of the Taimanin. This energy is the result of a ninja bloodline lineage that has been modified or evolved over the centuries to fight against supernatural and demonic forces.]
Reading the description of the reward he had just gotten, Shiryu blinked his eyes while feeling an energy flowing through his body.
He felt it but...
How to use it?
And speaking of Taimanin, he suddenly remembered a franchise, or rather a hentai anime where the women were ninjas.
Each of them was beautiful and sexy, especially the woman named Asagi! Remembering the things she saw in that anime, blood and even Taima Particles instantly rushed to one of his lower body parts.
Shiryu pretended to cough.
"Calm down! I have to calm down! Does that mean those women exist in this world? System-chan, answer me."
[I don't know, but the possibility is quite high.]
[By the way, host. You're too excited right now! Please maintain your image, you're sitting on the side of the road!]
"Lower your voice, do you need to shout inside your host's head?"
Glancing at the bulge in his own pants, Shiryu chanted a mind-cleansing mantra. This was System-chan's fault, she gave him a reward that had something to do with the legendary hentai series he had watched in his previous life.
"This is a good reward. The only problem is, I might need a master to teach me to unleash cool moves like ninjutsu."
"Damn, is it possible for me to create Rasengan with Taima Particles?"
Shiryu was eager to experiment.
Perhaps, he didn't need a master to teach him either. In this situation, he took out his diary and wrote.
[It's a very good day!]
The heroines: ???
What's this?
You seem very happy, Shiryu.
[Hey, are there any ninjas among you? Or rather, Taimanin?]
!?!?
This was the first time he asked them directly in his diary.
They were all surprised.
Still, were there ninjas among them?
Many of them did not know.
Sorry, Shiryu.
Try another question.
[I just wanted to say "hello" to you guys. For your information, please feel free to contact me if you would like to assist in restoring peace to this country. Of course, that includes fighting demons and corrupt organizations.]
[My address... I'm in Tokyo, but my home... Find out for yourself. After all, you are ninjas with superpowers.]
"....." The heroines.
Many of them weren't sure if there were ninjas with superpowers in this modern age.
But are demons real!?
Shiryu, what are you trying to do?
You sound like you're teasing the women you're referring to.
Aren't you worried that some of them might get upset and decide to teach you a lesson?
Shiryu closed his diary and after that, he really decided to return to the sanctuary.
Protagonist Takashi was dead.
The rest were Souichiro's subordinates and perhaps Souichiro himself?
Whoever saw his current smile, they would definitely not think he was a protagonist.
System-chan thought that way.
