The Pighead Emperor Appears / Shirou vs. the Pighead Army

"Oh, thank you, sir," Shirou replied firmly, and walked outside.

Just as the old man held firm to his beliefs, Shirou also clung to his convictions, believing that the desire for world peace was absolutely right. If an overly comfortable life has made people complacent and docile, then this is a serious matter.

The problem lies with people themselves, not with world peace.

Perhaps social stability has indeed caused many young people to lose their upward mobility and the opportunity to find good jobs, but that does not mean that people are beyond redemption, nor does it mean that we should purge those in power to create upward mobility.

Human nature may indeed be tamed by rules and regulations, becoming weak and docile, decadent and indulgent, and indifferent to themselves and the outside world, but it is not necessary to use bloodshed to awaken the ambition and courage that should be in their hearts.

Shirou firmly believes that a peaceful and civilized world is more worthy of protection, as it is the path to happiness. Humanity is simply taking a longer route, but sometimes, taking a detour isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Next, Shirou plans to explore Tokyo's Minato Ward and some of the more secluded areas around it. He's already visited all the bustling areas with the girls. If there's anything he's missed, it's probably in those places.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Satou Kazuma and Natsuki Subaru were walking arm in arm down the street. Although they had changed into adult clothes, their behavior was like that of high school students playing around.

Emerging from the Pachinko parlor, Kazuma had acquired nearly 100 grams of 14k gold, making a substantial profit. However, he couldn't return to that parlor for the next few months, lest he anger the Yakuza inside and cause trouble.

Although Satou Kazuma is currently strong enough to not be afraid of a few thugs, his like-minded partner Subaru Natsuki is a capable fighter with a strong mentality and is also a Dark Priest. Combined with Kazuma's love of taking sneak attacks, they are practically invincible.

Satou Kazuma had never felt so spirited. He was no longer the shut-in who had skipped school, spent all his nights playing video games, and lived a muddled and confused life because his childhood sweetheart had been stolen away by a delinquent.

Even in the metropolis of Tokyo, he stood tall and proud, exuding confidence, much like the male protagonist of a popular isekai (another world) light novel series in recent years.

'Huh? Come to think of it, I think... I've always been the male lead, haven't I?'

Kazuma shook his head vigorously. Now was not the time to worry about such trivial matters; he should enjoy life!

Kazuma returned to this world and even went to news websites to investigate, looking for news stories about shut-ins who mistook tractors for trucks, pushed away elementary school students who wouldn't have been hit, and ended up being scared to death.

So, feeling at ease in this world, he started causing trouble. After partnering with Natsuki Subaru, he began making money with Pachinko, easily earning money through gambling, and then spending it all, living a life of extravagance and debauchery.

"How about we go there today! Shinjuku Nightless! I also feel like it's about time I graduated," Kazuma said, his breath hot from his nose, deliberately using a deep, mature man's voice.

While in the other world, he had long wanted to find a beautiful woman to lose his virginity, and even hired a nightmare to provide in-home services, but for various reasons, he failed. Ultimately, it was because he was cursed by that useless goddess Aqua.

But now everything is fine. He has successfully gotten rid of that goddess and has retained the skills he learned. Everything is no longer a problem.

"Eh? Emilia is a good girl, she wouldn't go to a place like that." Natsuki Subaru shook his head and said.

"Don't say that! Hey~! Just think of it as relaxing a bit after the hard work of searching for that girl. Shinjuku is a famous tourist spot, we're just going there for a little while in the evening." Kazuma hooked his arm around Natsuki Subaru's neck and coaxed him gently.

Although Natsuki Subaru was quite happy to be back in this world after so long, he was more eager to find Emilia than to have fun.

At that moment, a woman's pitiful scream echoed through the spacious and intricate underground passages of Shinjuku Station!

"What's going on? Wait, Subaru!" Kazuma asked, startled. Natsuki Subaru had already run over quickly, and Kazuma had no choice but to follow.

"Oh no! Goblins!!"

A group of short, green-skinned monsters, wielding wooden clubs and short knives, stood on the platform, baring their teeth. The largest of them, a yellow goblin, pounced on a young woman in office attire and tore her shirt apart.

People around them scattered, and not a single man stepped forward to save the female office lady who had been tackled by the goblins. The other goblins grinned maliciously and pounced on the younger women who were slower to run away.

They prey on the humans around them, killing the males and using the females as breeding tools.

With a whoosh, a cell phone was thrown, hitting the goblin sitting on the female office lady on the head and knocking it to the ground.

"Drink up! You bastard! Look this way!" Natsuki Subaru, still in a baseball throwing stance, made a beeping gesture towards the goblin.

"Gahhh!!" The goblin that had been knocked to the ground got up, its neck slightly crooked, and let out a sharp cry.

The surrounding goblins stopped what they were doing, staring at Natsuki Subaru with their ferocious eyes. Some raised their clubs and shields, while others raised their bows and arrows. Their menacing appearance was nothing like that of a lowly monster on par with a slime; they looked more like a well-trained army.

"Hey, partner, something looks a little bad," Kazuma said, sweating profusely as he rushed over and saw the situation.

Chapter 1113 The Appearance of the Pig Head Emperor

"Help!"

"Run! Don't block the road!"

"Where are the police! Call the police right now!"

People ran outside in a panic, their bodies stained with the blood of those caught in the blast or splattered with others, causing even greater panic.

Meanwhile, Shirou heard screams on the street and ran over quickly. In front of him was chaos, a riotous crowd that had lost its mind and was in complete disarray.

Because they uphold professional ethics, they believe that if they encounter difficulties, they should call the police. Rescuing people is not the responsibility of office workers, but the responsibility of the police. Because they would never cause trouble for others, they would not do anything beyond their duties.

In fact, while witnessing someone die at a subway station isn't commonplace, it's not uncommon either; two or three incidents a month are normal. In Japan, subway delay notices usually indicate that someone has jumped onto the tracks at a certain location. Some people are rescued, but if the person jumping onto the tracks specifically aims for the moment the subway is approaching, it's almost certainly fatal.

Therefore, over the past ten years or so, several hundred people have died by suicide by jumping onto the tracks on the busiest routes in Tokyo.

Although some have suggested learning from China and installing platform screen doors on all sections of the road, this has been delayed for a long time due to various factors, including the large budget and the perceived violation of the spirit of freedom.

If even the right to commit suicide is taken away, perhaps others will turn to taking revenge on society.

People could normally accept everything more calmly, but what they encountered this time was so abnormal that it drove them mad. It was as if they had witnessed something indescribable, something their brains couldn't comprehend.

At this moment, the entrance to the subway station was completely blocked by panicked people. The police outside wanted to get down, but they were unable to pass through due to the pushing and shoving of the crowd.

Meanwhile, on the platform below the underground passage, a large yellow goblin, along with three shield-wielding and knife-wielding goblins, and three archer goblins, fixed their green eyes on Natsuki Subaru and Satou Kazuma, who were attacking them, and let out a sharp, threatening roar.

With skin rougher than human skin, a bluish-yellow hue, a large, long nose, and sharp teeth, they resembled the demons of Japanese folklore. In any case, these were strange monsters.

On the human side, so many people had fled the station. Now, apart from the female office lady whose clothes had been torn off, the other women and men were all injured or maimed, leaving them behind. They were either slashed open with knives or hit by arrows, lying on the ground clutching their wounds and screaming in pain, completely unable to form a fighting force.

"Gahhh!!"

Three arrows flew over in quick succession.

Kazuma quickly dodged left and right, finally managing to pull himself up in a backbend and narrowly avoid the arrows. Cold sweat beaded on his face. This was no joke; these were deadly weapons.

He's wearing no protective gear right now; if he gets shot, he'll definitely die. And in this world, there's no guarantee he'll be resurrected!

"It's just a goblin, but it's so fast and seems really smart! Did it jump out of a manga? It looks like Darkness's type." Natsuki Subaru, who was standing in front of him glaring at the goblin.

"What do you plan to do, partner? If we can escape on foot, we still have time."

"We have no choice but to go! The police won't be here anytime soon, and if we run away, everyone here will be killed!" Natsuki Subaru shouted as he charged forward, punching the goblin at the front who was holding a wooden club, breaking off the goblin's long, pointed nose.

Subaru snatched the wooden club from the goblin's hand and, with his extraordinary strength, smashed the goblin's head.

"Gahhh!!" the giant goblin roared.

The three archer goblins beside him raised their bows and aimed at Natsuki Subaru.

"Seriously! Why are you so passionate, my partner? I really hope my teammates can learn from you."

Kazuma turned around, picked up the three arrows that were stuck in the ground, and threw them at the archer goblin.

Three arrows pierced the archer goblin's eyes and penetrated his brain. Blood, like paste, flowed from his eyes and ears, and he collapsed to the ground.

The goblin angrily ran up and punched Natsuki Subaru. Although the goblin was only about 1.5 meters tall, it was broad and fat, with arms as thick as a person's thighs, and weighed at least 100 kilograms.

It's easy to imagine that he was very strong; each powerful blow generated a gust of wind.

Natsuki Subaru didn't dare to be careless and quickly set up his wooden stick to block in front of him.

Bang!!

The wooden stick was smashed to pieces by the goblin's punch.

Natsuki Subaru fell to the ground to avoid the goblin's punch.

"Roar!!" The giant goblin glared with its green eyes, its gaze fierce, and stretched out its massive hand, trying to grab Natsuki Subaru's head and crush his skull.

At that moment, with a whoosh, an arrow shot over.

It pierced the outstretched arm of the giant goblin.

It was Kazuma! He knocked down a shield goblin, picked up the bow and arrows from the fallen archer goblin, and quickly made a rescue.

"Partner! Hurry up!"

"Oh, thanks!"

Natsuki Subaru quickly scrambled backward, stood up, and distanced himself from the goblin. He'd become so accustomed to death that he'd completely forgotten to run. If he died in this world, would the witch's blessing still be effective?

Natsuki Subaru kicked down a nearby goblin wielding a knife, snatched the sword, and ran towards Kazuma.

"Roar!!" The goblin pulled the bow and arrow from its arm and roared as it chased after the two.

"Over here! Over here! You idiot!"

The two led the goblin to the other side of the underground passage, gesturing with their eyes for the people lying on the ground to take the opportunity to escape quickly.

Caiye Ang and Kazuma shouted all the way, and finally ran to the end of this underground passage. On one side was a dark subway tunnel, and on the other side was a sealed cement wall.

"Roar!!" The big goblin pounded its chest, glaring at the two, Caiye and Kazuma, who were pressed against the wall, and grinned maliciously.

This time, you can't run away!

Just then, a giant red hand reached out from the cave and grabbed the goblin's head.

Natsuki Subaru and Satou Kazuma looked into the cave and saw a giant boar's head, like the front of a high-speed train. Its massive body was at least five meters tall. It twisted the goblin's head off like tearing off a loaf of bread, and blood gushed out like a fountain, splattering everywhere.

Chapter 1114 Shirou vs. the Pig Head People Army

The red-skinned, pig-headed behemoth wore a Ruby- studded crown and had a majestic appearance, resembling the overlord of the pig-headed race. He was none other than the Pig Head Emperor, a mutated demon king-type monster.

However, at this moment, it seemed to have lost its mind, its eyes were bloodshot, but its appetite remained strong. It opened its mouth wide and began to gnaw on the goblin it had caught, biting into its neck where the head had been twisted off.

"Eeee..." Kazuma and Natsuki Subaru were so frightened that their teeth chattered.

Whether it was because the goblin wasn't completely dead yet or due to nerve reflexes, its limbs, which were hanging in the air, were still twitching.

"Eek--!" Kazuma and Natsuki Subaru's faces turned from white to green as they covered their mouths, struggling to hold back their vomit.

"Roar!!" The Pig Head Emperor raised his head and unleashed a roaring sonic wave that shattered the glass and lights in the underground passage.

Kazuma and Natsuki Subaru's expressions changed drastically. They shouted loudly and turned to run away.

"I really can't take it anymore!!"

"Someone, please save us!"

The streets of Tokyo Bay Port Ward were in chaos. When Shirou arrived there, he saw pedestrians and tourists fleeing in disarray.

Although Shirou accepted Aqua and Emilia's request to find Natsuki Subaru and Satou Kazuma, he didn't go to Shinjuku but instead went to the port area, completely missing the two boys.

Shirou continued running forward and saw that some people's entire arms were frozen in ice, turning purple and blue, while others had been burned so badly that their hair had fallen out and their bodies were charred black. However, people couldn't care less about that at the moment; escaping was the only priority.

A group of police officers were confronting the monsters ahead. On the other side were a group of Pig Head People, at least twenty or thirty of them, each dressed in armor, like invaders from another world.

There are Pig Head People Soldiers with white and black skin, Pig Head People Shaman unleash fire and frost True Magic, and Pig Head People Generals wielding axes.

These Pig Head People Soldiers were incredibly fat, yet equally ferocious. They stood nearly two meters tall and weighed an average of over 500 kilograms, plus their armor and heavy weapons, bringing their total weight to around 600 kilograms. In comparison to their weight, even Sumo wrestlers couldn't match their strength.

The police officers are equipped with six-round revolvers. Although many officers carry them on duty, they rarely use them. Therefore, they don't receive any more bullets. On average, each officer only has six rounds, and that's it.

The target, however, was a wild boar wearing armor and walking upright.

A young Japanese police officer was nervously following the Pig Head People. He was clearly inexperienced, and his expression was flustered; it seemed he would soon collapse from exhaustion even without the Pig Head People.

"Stop! If you don't stop, I'm going to shoot!"

The armored Pig Head People General, acting as the vanguard, led the Pig Head People troops forward in silence.

The Pig Head People General stood before the young police officer. The 2.5-meter-tall Pig Head People was a stark contrast to the officer, whose knees were so stiff from nervousness that he could barely straighten them.

"Baka! Shoot him now!" the older officer yelled at the younger officer.

"Ahhh!!" the young officer yelled, about to pull the trigger.

At this moment, the Pig Head People general's hand was already gripping the gun.

The young officer released his gun and ran away.

"Heh, the people in this world are all weak, but they possess strange weapons, yet their power is not low." The Pig Head People General ignored the fleeing police officer, biting into the revolver and smashing it into pieces.

"Whoa!!" The young police officer charged around wildly, trying to escape from the Pig Head People's encirclement.

"Hey! Baka! Where are you going?" the old policeman yelled, firing another shot and repelling a Pig Head People Soldier.

"I want to quit! This isn't the job I want!" the young officer cried out. But his eyes were still blurred with tears of fear, and he couldn't see the escape route at all. Instead, he crashed into a Pig Head People Soldier he hadn't seen.

The Pig Head People Soldiers there looked at the food that was being brought to their door and happily reached out their hands. Although it wasn't very nutritious, at least they had something to chew on and it could satisfy their cravings.

"Baka!! Look to the right!" the old policeman cursed.

The young police officer was on the verge of death without realizing it. The Pig Head People's hand was about to grab his neck. With the man's strength, a slight squeeze would be enough to crush his cervical vertebrae, causing him to suffocate and die instantly.

Right at this moment!

Playing cards flew out, slicing a piece of flesh off the Pig Head People's arm. The Pig Head People Soldier didn't care at first; his skin was thick and tough, and a small injury was no big deal.

One playing card was certainly not enough, and then a second, a third... and dozens of playing cards flew down on the Pig Head People.
