Hiyorimar, This Script Is All Wrong, Isn't It???

Hiyorimar felt that it held a considerable advantage.

At least, that was what Hiyorimar had thought an hour ago.

For some reason unknown to it, the seals on both it and Yae Sakura had been broken.

Yae Sakura, having no intention of acting, wandered through Changkong City like a resurrected ghost.

If the situation had only been that, Hiyorimar definitely would not have dared let down its guard in the slightest.

It intended to seize Yae Sakura's body. To do that, it had to carefully plan how to suppress Yae Sakura's personality.

But after Yae Sakura began wandering around, Hiyorimar gradually realized...

—The abundant Honkai Energy in Changkong City was simply the finest nourishment for it.

Yae Sakura did not want it, but Hiyorimar would not pass up such nourishment.

After gradually drawing in the Honkai Energy that should have belonged to the Herrscher of Thunder, Hiyorimar began to grow overconfident.

Before it knew it, it had gained the power to influence, and even suppress, Yae Sakura's personality.

And during this process, Hiyorimar noticed something else.

In one location, two powerful sources of Honkai Energy were colliding.

And within that location, there seemed to be fluctuations from another Herrscher as well.

Driven by curiosity, Hiyorimar hinted to Yae Sakura and brought her to the place where Gu Yu and Yuno were fighting.

Then, it happened to see Yuno return to human form after her Honkai Energy dispersed.

As well as Gu Yu, who had absorbed a great deal of Honkai Energy yet had not transformed into a Meele.

The moment Hiyorimar saw this man, green light burst from its eyes.

Its desire to seize Yae Sakura's body was ultimately just because it wanted a body it could move around in.

And judging by the current situation, this man who could casually absorb Honkai Energy and apparently use other abilities as well...

—Wasn't this body even better than Yae Sakura's?!

Heaven did not disappoint those who persevered. Hiyorimar had finally found the body most suitable for it to inhabit.

After confirming that the stigmata in this man's hand seemed capable of Absorbing Honkai Energy, only two words remained in Hiyorimar's heart.

Awesome!

Afterward, it hinted for Yae Sakura to approach Gu Yu, putting on an act of being at a loss.

However, when it tried to attack Gu Yu, its actions were exposed.

But that did not matter. Lord Hiyorimar was not worried about that at all.

It was not some pufferfish that could hold several Cores and still keep wiping out!

It had a plan for when its actions were exposed too!

After missing with its first strike, Hiyorimar immediately unleashed the Honkai Energy within its body.

It could pull other people's consciousness into Yae Sakura's inner world.

And within this space, Hiyorimar could suppress its opponents' combat power to the absolute minimum.

As long as it could torment this brat and Yae Sakura to death in the most despairing way possible within this space, Hiyorimar's goal would be achieved.

Then, its new body and its original power would fuse together.

And it would return to this damned world and do whatever it pleased!

Mm, and then it really did make its move.

And now, it felt rather bald all of a sudden.

The man woke up the instant he was pulled into the space, giving Hiyorimar no chance to pull any sneaky moves.

And the little play Hiyorimar had prepared to make Yae Sakura despair was directly ruined by this man as well.

Of course, none of that was the point. The most crucial thing was...

—Why did this man's power seem to still be there???

It had slept for five hundred years, and the power it could control had somehow dwindled to this little???

At this moment, Hiyorimar, with the Card Holder Sword pointed at its forehead by Gu Yu, was completely unable to comprehend the situation.

"Oh, not responding, huh?"

Looking at the utterly shocked "Yae God Lord," Gu Yu unhesitatingly pulled the trigger.

'Da da da da da.'

After a burst of light bullets was fired, the stunned Hiyorimar took them straight to the face and was blasted flying backward.

"You... forget it, no more of this messy nonsense!"

After getting blasted in the face by the light bullets, Hiyorimar dropped its disguise and manifested its enormous fox body before Gu Yu and Yae Sakura.

"Yae Sakura, and you brat, both of you are going to die!"

"Die right now!"

"Mm-hmm, got it."

Swiftly drawing out a card, Gu Yu leaped backward and flung it directly into the Driver.

"Henshin!"

[FormRide W Luna Joker]

Seeing that Yae Sakura still had no idea what was going on, Gu Yu transformed into Kamen Rider W's Moon Rabbit form, stretched out his right hand, pulled Yae Sakura over, and gathered her into his arms.

"What are you still standing there blankly for?"

Then, as Hiyorimar swung its enormous claws at them, Gu Yu fiercely kicked off the ground and leaped into the air.

[FormRide W Luna Metal]

Before landing, Gu Yu grabbed the metal staff that appeared near his right hand. Using the Luna Memory's extension effect, he stretched it out and secured it to a nearby large tree.

Hiyorimar's second attack arrived, but before it could hit, Gu Yu had already carried Yae Sakura out of its attack range.

"Whew, that should keep us safe for now."

Ignoring Yae Sakura's slightly reddened cheeks, Gu Yu gently set her down on the ground.

"Wait here for a moment, Yae."

"Wait!"

Seeing Gu Yu about to leave, Yae Sakura immediately spoke anxiously.

"That fox is strong. Don't go!"

"Ah..."

Hearing Yae Sakura's words, Gu Yu calmly drew out a card and flung it into the Driver, then turned back to look at her.

[FormRide W Luna Trigger]

"Rather than worry about me, you should worry a little about that stinking fox."

[Final Attack Ride D D D D Double]

Grasping the Moon Rabbit Trigger's weapon, the Trigger Magnum, Gu Yu skipped the step of aiming altogether and pulled the trigger on the spot.

"I'm really pissed off right now."

PS1: The first update for today is here. 15/26. As usual, please vote.

PS2: Today's joke—forget it, I can't laugh.

Tokiwa Sougo, I miss you so much... I never imagined I would say something like this a year after Zi-O ended.

Times really have changed, everyone.

I hope Honkai Impact 3rd's Chapter 19 promo copy can be a little more normal.

I hope Saber can be a little more normal.

My wishes are this humble now.
