Chapter 122 Flames Burning 1
Chapter 122 Flames Burning 1
In Kenta's dimly lit room, as if shrouded in night, he lay comfortably on the soft bed, as if the whole world had shrunk to just this small space where he could relax completely.
He casually rested one hand behind his head, while holding his phone in the other. The light from the screen illuminated his slightly tired yet expectant face.
He was engrossed in looking through his phone's photo album, which contained several sweet photos of him and his girlfriend Meiling, as well as some beautiful solo photos of Meiling.
Those photos captured the wonderful times they spent together, each one filled with memories and deep affection.
Just then, a rapid and loud telephone ring suddenly broke the tranquility of the night and Kenta's inner peace.
"Ring ring, ring ring!" The sound echoed in the quiet room, sounding particularly jarring.
Kenta frowned slightly, but quickly reached for his phone on the pillow and answered the call.
"Hello?" His voice carried a hint of laziness.
"Oh, it's Chigusa. What's up?" Upon hearing the other person's name, Kenta's somewhat dazed mind instantly cleared up.
"Okay, no problem, I'll be right there." After hanging up the phone, Kenta sat up and prepared to leave.
However, he was completely unaware that a mysterious figure was hiding in an inconspicuous corner of the room—a Balky alien.
The alien creature lurked silently here, its cunning eyes fixed on Kenta, secretly plotting how to use this human to achieve its ulterior motives.
It's too late to say.
"Expand your domain, radiate divine golden light!" As the incantation of the plundering spell rang out, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth, illuminating the entire room as brightly as day.
Immediately afterwards, a tall figure radiating a powerful aura appeared from the light—it was Shining Tiga! However, Shining Tiga at this moment was not his normal size, but a miniature version shrunk by a special ability.
Shining Tiga teleported to Kenta's location at an astonishing speed, appearing right in front of him.
The sudden turn of events startled the unsuspecting Kenta. He stared wide-eyed in terror, opened his mouth to cry for help, but only managed to let out a short, shrill scream.
"what!"
He then instinctively covered his eyes tightly with both hands.
The intense light severely impacted his vision, causing his vision to blur instantly, as if he had fallen into an endless abyss of darkness, unable to see anything around him.
Faced with such a terrifying scene, the Balgi alien was also quite frightened. It never expected that its plan would lead to such unexpected consequences.
In a panic, the Balgi aliens disregarded everything else and could only slink away from the scene, leaving Kenta, bewildered and terrified, alone in the dazzling golden light.
Then, a flash of light appeared on Duolue's body, and his originally tall and mighty figure quickly shrank, turning back into a normal human appearance.
"It was nothing, no need to thank me." Duolue said easily, then turned and left Kenta's room, preparing to chat with Meiling and the others.
Meanwhile, in another room, Meiling and Taro were chatting enthusiastically.
Taro frowned slightly and said seriously, "In my opinion, you must have noticed these strange phenomena that have appeared recently, as well as the series of bizarre events that have followed. There is probably someone manipulating things behind the scenes..."
Before he could finish speaking, a loud "bang" was heard, and the door to the room was suddenly pushed open without warning.
Taro instantly became alert, and as if by reflex, he pulled out the Ultra Badge from his pocket with lightning speed.
However, when he saw who it was, Taro couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It turned out to be Duolue who walked in.
"I don't need to say more about what you two just said; I've already guessed it all," Duolue said with a smile, unhurriedly.
Just then, a crisp sound reached everyone's ears.
Snapped!
Duolue looked in the direction of the sound and his gaze fell on Taro.
"Judging from the sound, Kenta and Chigusa must be playing with fireworks downstairs."
"Why don't we hurry downstairs and join them?" Duolue suggested with a smile.
Sure enough, Kenta and Chigusa's cheerful shouts came from downstairs: "Hikaru, Mirei, Taro, and Doroki, come down and play with us!"
Taro tilted his head slightly and looked out the window, taking in the magnificent fireworks blooming in the night sky.
He smiled slightly and remarked, "Yes, these dazzling fireworks have undoubtedly become the most beautiful sight on this hot summer night."
After saying that, Taro turned to Meiling and asked, "How about it? Want to go join the fun?"
Meiling smiled happily, her beautiful eyes curving like crescent moons as she gazed tenderly at Duolue, and asked softly, "Then shall we go together?"
The scene suddenly changed.
"Yay!" A burst of cheerful shouts came from the crowd, and everyone's face was filled with bright smiles as they fully enjoyed this joyful moment.
They held colorful sparklers tightly in their hands and waved them excitedly.
The sparklers traced dazzling, colorful arcs in the air, resembling beautiful flowers blooming in the night sky.
Some sparklers drew patterns that resembled twinkling stars, adorning the dark sky; others looked like constantly spinning spirals, full of dynamism and vitality.
Some are even shaped like cute hearts, exuding a romantic and warm atmosphere.
Just then, Kenta, who had been immersed in the joyful atmosphere, suddenly came to his senses, and a sense of doubt arose in his heart.
"Oh dear, where did Hikaru go? We haven't seen him all night!" Kenta frowned, looking around anxiously.
Upon hearing this, Duolue, who was standing to the side, also realized the problem, but he seemed quite calm.
"Never mind him. Even if something really happens, I can still save him with my skills."
Duolue patted his chest confidently, his words revealing absolute confidence in his own strength.
It turns out that this strategist was no ordinary person; his strength was astonishing.
Sure enough, just as the Balky aliens arrived and attempted to ambush the others under the cover of night, Duolue instantly sensed the approaching danger.
Without hesitation, he transformed into Shining Tiga, radiating a dazzling golden light.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling beam of holy light shot out from his eyes, heading straight for the Balgi alien's eyes.
However, such fierce attack methods made Duolue seem more like a villain than the Balki alien.
Faced with the overwhelming power of the enemy, the Balgi aliens knew they were no match and had no choice but to flee in panic.
But to his surprise, he unexpectedly ran into Xiao Guang during his desperate escape.
At this moment, Xiao Guang was unconscious for some unknown reason, lying on the ground without any consciousness.
Seeing this, the Balgi aliens naturally wouldn't let the opportunity pass. They took the chance to knock Xiao Guang unconscious and then continued to flee in disarray.
Meanwhile, the other three continued to laugh and joke around, having a great time.
Kenta, sitting quietly alone in his chair, stood out starkly against the lively and cheerful scene around him, appearing somewhat out of place.
Just then, without warning, a graceful woman walked over and sat down elegantly next to Kenta.
Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Kenta, as if trying to see through his appearance to the secrets hidden deep within his heart.
"Wow, look at these two! Their relationship is so good, it's enviable! Could it be... they're lovers?"
Someone in the crowd was the first to raise this question.
Upon hearing this, Kenta quickly waved his hand, shaking his head like a rattle drum: "No, no, no, absolutely not! They've only just met."
However, the woman then said, "If it's not this lady, then who could it be?"
Kenta said, "Is the person I'm close to that Hikaru who's currently missing? We're best friends who grew up playing together."
"But we don't know where that guy went; we haven't seen him since."
As they spoke, everyone began to reintroduce themselves, creating a lively scene.
Just then, a noisy party sound came from nearby, and Xiao Guang was seen limping and struggling to walk towards them.
It turns out that he was afraid of missing the gathering because of his injury, so he insisted on coming to participate even though he had difficulty walking.
As they approached, Xiao Guang complained with a wronged expression, "Oh my god, I was planning to go to Mei Ling's room to chat for a while, but then some jerk suddenly appeared out of nowhere and beat me up without saying a word! What an undeserved disaster!"
As Hikaru spoke, he glanced at Yuka standing to the side. He composed himself, then smiled and gave Yuka a brief self-introduction.
Seeing Xiao Guang covered in wounds, the kind-hearted Duo Lue immediately used his healing abilities.
A soft light slowly enveloped Xiaoguang, and the hideous wounds began to heal rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Before long, apart from some lingering pain, Xiao Guang had basically recovered completely.
To put it in a cunning way, as long as your head isn't lost, everything else is just a minor matter.
Afterwards, a team of six, including Kenta and Hikaru, enthusiastically led Yuka, who was new to the school, on a careful tour of every corner of Hoshifuru Elementary School.
The entire campus was filled with laughter and joy, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
It is worth mentioning that throughout this process, Kenta was unable to resist the allure emanating from Yuka's unique charm.
His gaze would involuntarily fall on Yuka from time to time, and he would secretly marvel at how such a charming woman could exist in the world.
He smiled broadly and took out his long-unused camera to take pictures, even though he hadn't taken any photos in a long time, to commemorate his alma mater which was about to disappear.
"Alright, it's a deal then! See you tomorrow at 10 a.m.!"
As they talked, they interlocked their little fingers and pulled their arms up together, completing the ancient yet playful pinky swearing ceremony as their most sincere promise to each other.
Kenta nodded contentedly, turned around and walked towards his bed, ready to get a good night's sleep and recharge for his appointment with Yuka the next day.
Seeing this, the other friends followed Kenta's lead and went back to their own beds to rest.
In the end, only Taro remained standing in the same spot.
At first, he turned his head and looked at Yuka with expectant and tender eyes, hoping to get a response or a smile from her.
But to his utter surprise, what came into view was a face as cold and expressionless as an iceberg.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire room seemed to freeze, and time seemed to stop flowing, remaining still for several seconds.
Such a scene will undoubtedly become an indelible childhood trauma for many people!
