Is this the cuteness of contrast?

　　Ryota's face darkened.

　　Is he not normal?

　　What do you mean?

　　Even though he wanted to refute it, but if he was competing with children, he seemed to lose from the start, right?

　　Shaking his head, Ryota skipped the matter and said:

　　"Since the wound has healed... You should go back first, this comquest is over, there's no point in staying here."

　　"What about Shiro-san?" Kayo asked: "You want to continue eliminating Gastrea?"

　　"Um," Ryota nodded, "It saves effort talking to smart people."

　　"Can I act with you for a while?"

　　Kayo suddenly asked.

　　Before Ryota could answer, she added:

　　"Shiro-san saved me, I have to pay for it. And two people are much safer than one person."

　　Hearing this, Ryota carefully studied Kayo's expression.

　　Still emotionless, looking cold. However, based on the known information and the current situation, Ryota slightly assessed the other party's true thoughts.

　　The so-called two people are safer than one person, of course, is of course a lie.

　　With such strong strength, Kayo can only be considered a burden to him.

　　"Kayo," Ryota suddenly asked, "Don't you have anywhere to return to?"

　　"..."

　　Kayo was silent.

　　This attitude is consent.

　　After ten full seconds of silence, she said:

　　"Shougen-sama is dead. When I come back now, I'll just be recycled into the institution, waiting to be assigned to a new Promoter again. I don't want that."

　　Kayo suddenly raised her head and looked at Ryota, a bit of tension on her face:

　　"Since Shiro-san acted alone, your Initiator must have encountered something unexpected, right? So we..."

　　Ryota understood what she meant, immediately shook his head and said:

　　"I can't partner with you, and nothing will happen to my Initiator."

　　"..."

　　Kayo swallowed the following words back into her stomach.

　　"I'm the one who should apologize." The emotion that had just appeared on Kayo's face disappeared, and her voice became inorganic again. "Sorry, I said something that bothered you, and I will reply now…"

　　"Wait a minute, I'm not done yet."

　　Ryota patted Kayo's head lightly, continued to smile and said:

　　"Did I just say it? It's a waste of your talent to be an Initiator. Since there is no place to return to, I will find one for you. I won't be in the Tokyo Area for long, and I have other things to do. "

　　He couldn't stay in this world for long.

　　So about the Initiator... Forget it.

　　If he can't do it, he can't just give people hope.

As for Kayo's whereabouts...

　　A little girl with an IQ over 200, if trained properly, she would definitely become a very wise character in the future.

　　Seitenshi must like her.

　　"Let's go Kayo."

　　Ryota pulled the still dazed Kayo back to her senses.

　　"Follow me first, and when my quest is over, I will take you to your new place."

　　...

　　After being dragged away by Ryota, Kayo still hasn't recovered. She's given up. As a result, Ryota offers her a new path. Even though she has wisdom far surpassing that of her peers, she always keeps a cool head. But in the shock from the ups and downs, she still felt a little uneasy.

　　But soon, this complicated atmosphere was broken by Ryota who entered a battle state.

　　Laughing, roaring, screaming... and the constant roar of battle has Kayo completely focused on other things.

　　The contrast Ryota gave her was too shocking!

　　As if he were a man of moderation, and then he could roll up his sleeves and talk to people on the street...

　　Kayo feels pure and extreme violence.

　　After watching it for a long time, it seemed that even her suppressed heart had been released.

　　Her mood had improved greatly.

　　This fighting style looks very cool, makes her a little excited.

　　In the process of fighting along the way, there are fewer and fewer Gastrea in the forest.

　　5 a.m.

　　The two reached the top of the mountain, and there was no Gastrea in sight.

　　However, Kayo didn't let down her guard, but stared wide-eyed, falling into an even greater panic.

　　"That… that thing…!?"

　　Kayo stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the sea level along Tokyo Bay, with her small mouth slightly open.

　　"Oh? Is the end here?"

　　Ryota also turned his gaze in that direction.

　　He saw a huge black shadow on the horizon, covering the water area of the sea.

　　Standing in such a distant position, there seems to be a shocking visual effect.

　　It was hard to imagine what kind of giant the black shadow would be after approaching it?

　　"Shiro-san, what is that...?"

　　Kayo asked in a surprised tone.

　　"Stage 5 Gastrea."

　　"What!?"

　　"Relax, we predicted his arrival long ago, so the precautions have been prepared."

　　Ryota didn't turn his head, his eyes were still staring at the dark shadow in the distance.

　　He has good eyesight and can see the appearance of the monster clearly.

He had no idea how much that Gastrea had absorbed the genes of tens of thousands of creatures. A dark brown muscle with cracks full of smallpox-like scars, and there are bumps on the scars.

　　Its head is abnormally large, with a curved, beak-like object extending unnaturally from the corner of the mouth, and its remaining left eye is very small.

　　As the 400-meter Gastrea charged into Tokyo Bay, missiles, gas bombs, torpedoes and other weapons were fired at it.

　　But the missiles and torpedoes could do little damage to the Gastrea, and its wounds healed in an instant.

　　As for the gas bomb, it didn't even splash.

　　The much-anticipated Vibranium armor-piercing projectile was ricocheted because the Gastrea's armor was too hard.

　　Kayo stared blankly at the scene. Just when she was worried about how to eliminate Gastrea in it.

　　A dazzling beam of light pierced the night sky like a thunderbolt, leaving a red trail in the air.

　　There was a deafening sound.

　　Kayo subconsciously covered her ears.

　　The field of view is completely filled and covered with light.

　　The roaring sound lasted for quite a while before stopping.

　　Wait for the light in the field of vision to return to normal.

　　Kayo looked ahead.

　　The huge black shadow that covered the sea had disappeared.

　　At the same time. Ryota, Mine, Manaka and Kiritsugu who were far away in the holy residence summoned the system light screen at the same time.

　　Updated quest information is shown above.

　　The side quest has been completed.
