Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

Chapter 66 Horse and Crane

"Miss Nagata, please wait a moment."

Out of understanding of the security guard, Yuji Kiba did not chase into the school, but he did not leave either, and returned to the side of the school gate where he was waiting before, and continued to wait for Yuka Nagata to arrive.

Fortunately, before experiencing those things, his luck seemed to finally start to fluctuate upwards. Even so, he still waited until the afternoon before seeing Yuka Nagata.

Thinking of this, Kiba Yuji smiled wryly at himself, but these expressions were not shown on his face.

After hearing Kiba Yuji's voice, Nagata Yuka, who had lowered her head, suddenly raised her head, looking at Kiba Yuji's eyes seemed to light up for a moment.

"You are……"

She let out a low cry in surprise and joy, but quickly stopped her voice and lowered her head again, grabbing her half-wet cuff with some unease, and water dripped down her hair to the ground.

Her body was trembling slightly, restless, cold... maybe both.

Yuji Kiba guessed looking at Yuka Nagata.

He kept a polite and safe distance, and didn't ask why she didn't wipe her hair and walked out after washing her hair.

"My name is Kiba, Kiba Yuji."

He introduced himself.

"We met yesterday, do you still have any impression?"

"Um……"

Nagata Yuka nodded in a low-key manner.

"Mr. Kiba, thank you very much for your help yesterday."

"No, it's nothing. I think other people will not hesitate to reach out when they see that situation."

"Maybe……"

Hearing Nagata Yuka's answer, Kiba Yuji once again affirmed his previous guess.

'Bullying...'

Who would doubt the possibility of kindness delivered by a stranger if not surrounded by malice?
He was silent for a moment, then took off his coat and handed it to Yuka Nagata.

"Well, if you don't mind..."

"--thanks!"

Nagata Yuka stared blankly at the coat handed over by Yuji Kiba for a while, her face was suddenly stained with bright red, and a smile finally appeared on her face that had only been sad.

She smiled and said words of thanks, and when she took Kiba Yuji's coat and brought it to her face, the muscles at the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably.

'It stinks! '

Although it stinks, Nagata Yuka burst out laughing, and at the same time, a very reassuring feeling welled up from the bottom of her heart.

'In two days, maybe I will also emit this smell, right? '

As a person who has been kicked out of the house by her adoptive parents, and only has a few secretly saved coins in her pocket, and with the living examples in front of her as a reference, she can easily imagine her next wandering life.

"Thank you, Kiba-san!"

She shook off the coat and put it on, and thanked Kiba Yuji again, her expression looked a lot more cheerful.

It's just that this series of changes in her expression made Kiba Yuji feel a little embarrassed and confused.

He could understand the slight expression at the beginning. He also remembered that he hadn't showered for several days, and he was soaked in the rain once. There was nothing he could do about it, and it was understandable that girls couldn't accept it. It was indeed something he hadn't thought about before handing over the coat... But, what are those reactions after that?

Why not only did this girl thank him again, but her mood improved a lot! ?
I don't understand, I don't understand...

Kiba Yuji scratched his head and said, "...you just don't dislike it."

Finished, he added.

"Ah, by the way, about the schoolbag you left behind that day, it was taken away by some girls in the morning. They said it was your sister's friend and would pass it on to you. Do you know them?"

Sister...my sister's friends...school bag...forwarding...

There was no need for Kiba Yuji to describe the appearance of those girls in detail, and Nagata Yuka's face turned pale in an instant.

She has only one younger sister in this women's high school, and the only people who can meddle in her business and are her sister's friends are those in the women's basketball team, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

And after realizing this fact, she heard a voice talking somewhere inside the teaching building just like last night.

"That little bitch is so quiet, I didn't expect to have a handsome boyfriend."

"Oh, what's the use of being handsome, don't you guys smell it? That man smells so bad, he probably hasn't showered or changed his clothes for several days? He looks like a poor man!"

"That's right, but it's the same. I suddenly feel that the two of them are quite a match. That little bitch is also pretty good-looking."

"Hmph, that's the only face she can see."

"Then return this bag to her then?"

"Repay, why not? I heard that she has been kicked out of the house by Daozi's father. How about we do something more interesting this time?"

"What? Did you think of something interesting again?"

"As a reward for us passing her schoolbag, what if we wanted her school uniform?"

"Oh, good or bad, what if it's the only piece of clothing that people can wear outside? After all, hasn't she been kicked out of the house?"

"Hmph, isn't that better?"

"That's right, hehe."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

Those words were like countless needles piercing her heart. Amidst those piercing laughter, she tightly covered her ears, turned and ran away.

"Miss Nagata!"

Looking at Yuka Nagata who fled in embarrassment like a wounded bird after being frightened, Yuji Kiba hurriedly shouted, but got no response.

Thinking of that crane feather, Kiba Yuji frowned tightly.

Sure enough, she also became...

So, what did she just hear?
Kiba Yuji cast his eyes on the campus and took a deep breath.

then,

A series of noisy voices rang in my ears.

The sound of walking, talking and laughing, lecturing... In the end, he turned his attention to the girls he met in the morning who were talking in the corridor.

"...When the time comes, look at me, go up and hold Nagata Yuka, and then others will take off her school uniform, understand?"

"Don't worry, minister, with the body of that little bitch, he will definitely not be able to break free."

"That's right, Minister, just rest assured and record the video..."

Those bastards! !
Yuji Kiba, an outsider, was furious when he heard it, let alone the person involved heard it with his own ears.

……

……

night.

Several people in the women's basketball club felt very disappointed when Yuka Nagata did not wait. They changed their sportswear in the changing room and left the school.

On the way, the people who were chatting and laughing suddenly stopped talking.

They looked at the shadows that were gradually approaching them from the darkness in front of them with some fear, and tremblingly gathered together.

"what is that?"

"Is it a ghost?"

However, when they saw the shadow walk into the light, revealing Nagata Yuka's appearance, the fear on their faces suddenly turned into anger.

"Bastard, you dare to scare us—"

It's just that this sentence stopped abruptly when it was halfway through, just like the expressions on their faces that turned into fear at this time.

Because in their eyes, Nagata Yuka flickered twice in the form of the human form and the crane-shaped Oferno, and then stabilized to the form of the crane-shaped Oferno with wings spread, and pure white crane feathers raised.

At the same time, the gray-white centaur came behind them with a sword raised, and sent the blade out.
