He happened to stop in front of the large wall fountain that made a nice landmark for the roundabout in front of the train station
That is hell You mustn’t stop there
Eh Eh
The spring has already been wound Get away from the roundabout
Before the woman finished speaking the screams filling the station area told him something was wrong
The woman was still saying something but Mutsuki dropped his phone on the edge of the fountain
That was hardly surprising given what had happened
A bright rouge Porsche was noticeably parked in the middle of all the cars filling the station roundabout
It was stopped right in the middle of the road which explained why the cars had been honking so much But those horns soon became screams
Everyone watched in shock as sounds of scraping metal came from the Porsche and it ceased to be a car
AhAh
After the hood opened metal claws burst out and stabbed into the ground to lift the tires from the ground Next the convertible chassis bent like an accordion and rose up in a menacing pose
Then the emblem on the bumper lifted its head to look in the boy’s direction
Its glossy streamlined red body showed off its dark engine Just as a rhinoceros beetle looked like a jewel from the top but revealed its grotesque underbelly when flipped over a sense of indescribable revulsion filled the roundabout with panic (Whatis this What is this What is this )
Everyone began to flee the station area but Mutsuki was frozen in place The air felt as thick as molasses and his legs refused to move
As the car monster stood up like a human being he noticed its headlights turning his way
The Porsche seemed to forget it had tires so it dragged its body along by its claws to approach
the dumbfounded boy The weight of the car produced an awful scraping noise on the concrete
The scraping almost sounded like the whinnying of a horse and the boy fell onto his butt
Even after his hips gave out the Porsche continued toward him
sten Listen Fujita Mutsuki
It stopped just as it crushed the dropped phone with its claw
As the dumbfounded boy watched something strange happened to the destroyed phone The bisected parts clung to the claw and became a phone once more
Mutsuki calm down and listen You can’t stay there
The phone still functioned
It all felt so surreal that Mutsuki started feeling faint
Beginning scan Fujita Mutsukipositive Serpent’s Eye holder confirmed
A mechanically synthesized voice spoke through the Porsche’s speakers and he clearly heard his own name
Listen Mutsuki The Springloaded isn’t the problem The demon will defeat it
The voice coming from the cellphone was drowned out by the bubbling sound coming from the wall fountain behind him
The demon is the one you need to escape from
Ha ha
He also heard a low and oddly alluring laugh
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha I found you I finally found you Fujita Mutsuki
The standing Porsche seemed to lean backwards
Just a few seconds before the fountain had been filled with clear water but now its contents sprayed out like a geyser assaulting Mutsuki and the Porsche
And this was not water It was a sticky reddish-black liquid
Dried blood may have been the closest comparison It was exactly as warm as human skin and
reeked of blood Mutsuki shuddered in disgust as it poured down over his back
Khgh
The Porsche did more than tremble The human skin fluid soaked into the exposed engine Even in its monstrous form the precision machinery was weak to foreign substances As each drop entered the engine the car’s movements dulled and it finally did nothing more than shake like a toy with a dying battery In that instant a giant curved blade pierced through the center of the exposed chassis
The red blade gently curved like a crescent moon The giant scythe’s blade was over a meter long and the handle was over two meters long It stabbed so deeply into the Porsche monster that Mutsuki almost felt sorry for it Only after moving his gaze down the weapon did he notice that someone stood on the damaged headlights at the front of the car
(Who’s that Watch out )
The Porsche could not support itself any longer with its claws broken so it collapsed forward
Mutsuki panicked but the person standing on top was not thrown off They instead let go of the scythe and leaped toward Mutsuki
The person bent their waist to a ninety degree angle in front of Mutsuki and moved their head so close it almost hit him
The situation kept changing so fast that Mutsuki could only watch in a daze
Hi I was looking forward to meeting you Fujita Mutsuki
The person was a boy of about Mutsuki’s own ageor at least he thought it was a boy At the very least the sleeveless shirt and pants were boy’s clothes and his husky voice sounded more boyish
Yet he was so beautiful that Mutsuki’s heart began to race when their eyes met from close enough for their noses to nearly touch
His droopy eyes and long eyelashes gave him an exotic depth to his looks and the hair held down by his baggy hat was a shiny blond The innocent smile decorating his perfect facial features gave
him a youthful and cute look
