Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

"I have heard it, yes, I have heard it, that horrible legend has always been hidden in my memory."

"There is a forbidden swordsmanship in this world that does not exist in anyone's memory. Not everyone who knows it will be eliminated. The truth is far more terrifying than this."

"The moment he wields the knife, it is like death itself appearing in the world. People standing in front of him will choose to lose their memory because they cannot bear the manifested fear, allowing themselves to forget the fear they face. This is the body’s instinctive protection to prevent the fear beyond death from annihilating one’s consciousness.”

"This is it! The legend in the legend, the taboo that only exists in the legend - the Forgotten Swordsman!!!"

"The Forgotten Swordsman doesn't bother to deprive life. What he does is something even more terrifying and taboo - depriving memory! With just one blow, he can deprive his opponent of his memory. Facing an opponent who doesn't know the heights of the world, the Forgotten Swordsman forgives the opponent's rudeness. And giving the other person a chance to be a new person is the unique skill of a swordsman who forgets!"

"The swordsmanship of omnipotent memory - be a new person and kill!!!"

Violent and secretive roars echoed throughout the dojo.

“Ohhh——!!”

"Become a new man and kill him!!"

Everyone sang along and kept repeating it, getting louder and louder.

People in the dojo who were discussing the competition between Hojo Kyosuke and Nishimura Ryuta all made sounds of realization. Nagase Ichiro, who was about to appear, also looked around for the speaker with a serious face, wanting to know more information. There were quite a few people who acted like him. Fortunately, although that person had the ability to fish in troubled waters and turn his back instantly, the people here were all strong swordsmen, so they immediately found the person to speak.

A bear-like thing sat among the members of the Rampage Angels, wearing a very long special attack uniform, which looked like a medieval wizard's robe. This was originally only worn by those with higher status in bad organizations, but under the improvement of Hojo Kyosuke, the people in their organization have developed a good habit of wearing suits, so they don't care about this tradition.

He had messy gray hair, sitting cross-legged, his hands firmly on his thighs, his flat eyes shining with wisdom.

That's right, besides the mighty General, the third swordsman in Tokyo, who else has such amazing wisdom and knowledge? Zaimuzuo Yihui, come on!

"Hey, that boy, can you be more detailed?"

Someone approached Zaimuzha and asked in a low voice. This person was a follower of Police Chief Takenaka. Seeing that the boss was interested in what he just said, he hurriedly came to ask.

"Uh-huh! Uh-huh!"

Zaimuzhao made two strange coughs, which became more and more mysterious and confusing:

"Such things are top secret information even within the organization. Except for people like me who have signed a contract (application for joining the department) with the chief and swore an oath under the witness of the white-robed witch (Shizuka Hiratsuka), they will never know of."

He said in a dull voice.

For a moment, those who did not understand Zaimokuza Yoshiki's character were really frightened. The swordsman who was a doctor whispered to the people around him:

"Maybe it's Hojo Kyo... Hojo-kun has specially studied how to beat people into retrograde amnesia. It's terrible. Someone would go out of their way to study this kind of technology, and actually be able to do it successfully?"

Over there, Chief Inspector Takenaka also looked at the Sixth Generation next to him with a surprised look on his face and asked:

"Otsuka-san, how come I have been practicing in the dojo for ten years and never heard that there is such a unique skill in the dojo? Is it a swordsmanship that only heirs can learn?"

"this……"

Otsuka Yoichiro opened his mouth, wanting to say that he didn't know, but when he saw that the bear-like Zaimokuza over there had begun to tell the story to the people around him, he really couldn't open his mouth.

Zaimokuza is generous. He first talked about the fate of "forgetting the swordsman" and "restarting his career as a swordsman".

"...Under the siege of three thousand people, the Forgotten Swordsman did not panic at all. He even had some sympathy for those poor opponents. He felt sad and uncomfortable because he would have to end the lives of these people with his own hands. But the Forgotten Swordsman He is great. He practices swordsmanship not for the purpose of depriving others of their lives.

In such a difficult situation, the Forgotten Swordsman had an epiphany. With the greatest talent in the universe, he came up with a sword technique that could bring peace to the world, and that was the "Rebirth Slash"! As long as the memories of these people are deleted and they forget their grievances with themselves, then this battle can be resolved peacefully.

But the "Rebirth Slash" is so powerful that even the Forgotten Swordsman can't grasp the power immediately, it's just one sword! The three thousand enemies who besieged him at that time were all beheaded of all memories since birth.

After the Forgotten Swordsman left, some brave people came to investigate the situation, but only saw three thousand men who could only cry and crawl around on the ground. "

"Wow——"

The people listening to the story were instantly in an uproar. They all gasped, and even their breathing became much lighter.

Because Yoshiki Zaimokuza's story-telling ability is so outstanding, it brings an unparalleled sense of immersion, and everyone can't help but have such a scene in their heads.

On a burnt-brown desolate land, the forgotten swordsman Hojo Kyosuke stood with a sword, and enemies like waves surrounded him from all directions. But even in this situation, Lord Hojo still has a compassionate heart and is unwilling to kill. When he left like a wisp of wind, there were only three thousand swordsmen left on the desolate land who had forgotten all hatred and had pure minds like angels.

"I see, no wonder it's called the "Forgotten Swordsman"! "

"Damn it! So strong! "Become a new person and kill him"! "

"No wonder that guy Naito admires Hojo Kyousuke so much. He is indeed a great person."

"Indeed, Ryuta Nishimura just now was obviously such an arrogant villain before, but after Hojo-kun helped him re-create his life, he immediately seemed like a different person."

"..."

Everyone around them started talking, and even the big shots from Police Chief Kenichi Takenaka listened with interest. And Zaimuzhao's bear-like figure became taller and taller. For a while, it was clear that he had a head of hairy hair, and he looked a little more mysterious.

"Kuniichi! It turns out that Hojo-san actually has such powerful moves! He is kind but powerful, this is what a real man is!"

Totsuka Ayaka exclaimed, covering her mouth.

"Pfft-cough cough cough!"

Hearing this, Hikigaya Hachiman almost choked to death on his saliva, with a look of shame on his face, and hurriedly turned around and said:

"Wait a minute, Ayaka, you don't really believe Zaimokuza's lies, do you?"

Totsuka Ayaka blinked her confused eyes and said doubtfully: "Ah? Isn't it true? That Mr. Nishimura just now has indeed lost his memory."

"That's a concussion!" Hikigaya's eyes widened.

Totsuka said seriously: "Yes, Zaimokuza-san has just explained the principle behind the Forgotten Swordsman-sama's development of the "Renewed Human Slash", which is to use the brain's protective mechanism for the body. "

"Well……"

Hikigaya was speechless for a moment.

Chuunibyou is just annoying!

Adding a fantasy filter to something real becomes something completely different, but if you insist on explaining it, you can achieve sophistry. If you want to ask why Hikigaya knows about it, as the nameless god who has written seven entire diaries of the divine world, he simply doesn't know much about it.

Divine Diary? Doesn’t it mean that this world was created by God? Is there anything wrong with me calling Earth the realm of the gods? If not, I at least have the right to name the room, right? My room is the Hikigaya God Realm where light and darkness coexist, chaos and order intertwine.

Hey, even though I had thought of this explanation early on, the teacher forgot to take the Diary of God Realm away from the sofa during his home visit. After being seen, he could only explain that it was written by the family cat, Mr. Xuedong. After all, they are all middle school students, and they still use the room as a secret base or something, yah~

"Ahem, anyway, don't listen to Zaimokuza's nonsense!" Hikigaya said seriously.

Next to him, Hikigaya Komachi laughed so hard that he covered his stomach:

"Hahaha, Caijiaojiang, don't you know that my brother is also a dark flame swordsman? He has a move that can summon... um, um um..."

The cute little sister Komachi was sealed by her brother before she could finish her words.

"Shut up!!" Hikigaya whispered with panic on his face. Sensing the threatening look in his sister's eyes, he immediately whispered:

"I'll buy next month's magazine for you!"

Komachi cheered: "Yeah~ My brother now has very high scores here~~"

"U-um... Komachi, my name is Ayaka~"

"Eh? Didn't I mean Ayaka?"

"You're talking about colored peppers."

"Ah, maybe it's because you are so cute, Ayaka-chan, and it reminds me of my favorite colored peppers."

This is a lie. In order to learn how to eat bell peppers, Komachi cooked bell peppers for a whole month. During that time, even his hiccups smelled of bell peppers, which caused him to be taken away again after he went to school. A nickname for the colorful pepper monster.

Hikigaya remained silent.

"Uh-huh! Uh-huh!"

The swordsman general made a strange coughing sound again. Next, he was going to explain the efforts of the forgotten swordsman in order to master the "Re-creation of the Human Slash". He had already thought of it. First, he would experiment with ants, then beetles, and then The sparrow, the puppy, and finally the condemned prisoner. With the help of the Forgotten Swordsman, the condemned prisoner became a pure (wisdom) good person.

Hikigaya next to him saw that Zaimokuza was starting to make up stories again. He was afraid that the angelic mind of the lovely Totsuka would be further brainwashed. He quickly grabbed Zaimokuza's arm and shouted softly:

"You guys, please stop it. This is not a school. When the adults find out that you were tricked, they won't just beat you and then forgive you. Maybe your father will kneel down and apologize!"

Zaimuzo was shocked, swallowed hard, glanced around, looking at the faces that were as mature as his father, he finally came back to his senses from the endless vanity. Originally, when he saw all these adults being fascinated by his story, he narcissistically thought that maybe after school started, he could ask Minister Hojo to help him make his light novel debut.

But now after being told by Hikigaya, he realized that not only would the people who listened to the story today bring them a greater sense of satisfaction, but later they would also find out that being tricked would bring greater punishment. Although the companions in the organization look vicious, they will happily applaud themselves even if they find out that they have been fooled. This is different now.

The hands on the thighs of the first-year high school junior were shaking a little. He looked at Nagase Ichiro, who was sincerely asking him for advice on how to defend himself against the "Rebirth Slash". In his memory, when he introduced himself just now, he said that he was Express Group leader. He thought about such a powerful company and his position was higher than his father's. He didn't want to ask himself for advice now. He was so satisfied that he planned to make up a few difficult enemies that the swordsman had encountered and tell them to him.

Now it seems that it is still...

"Ahem...you are insulting me! I am loyal to Minister Hojo and will never reveal any information!"

Yes, that's right. I will ask the general manager to knock all the memories out of these guys' heads later!

Zaimokuza's eyes changed, thinking fiercely.

When Hojo Kyosuke returned to the dojo from the locker room, he found that something was wrong. He chose to change clothes under Naito's persuasion, because these people were no different from the people in the kendo club of the three major branches of the Rampage Angels. They knew his strength and dared to attack with all their strength even if he didn't wear protective gear. Now if he didn't wear protective gear, even if he defeated the opponent, the opponent could argue that it was because Hojo Kyosuke didn't wear protective gear that he didn't dare to use his full strength.

Someone immediately followed suit and changed into kendo uniform and protective gear, although he thought it was cool to chop people in a suit. As for kendo uniform and protective gear, not to mention that his caring wife Mitsuha followed him, how could the more careful Xisaki forget it.

But how could the dojo become so strange after he left for a few minutes?

"Forgotten Swordsman..."

"Ah, I'm looking at you. Can you forget with your eyes?"

"How much memory did Nishimura lose just now?"

"I think it should be elementary school. You see, he even forgot his boss at the company."

"Indeed, Nishimura and I were high school classmates. He was not so polite when he was in high school."

"...Forgotten Swordsman..."

"... "Become a Slayer Again"..."

Countless whispers were constantly floating into Hojo Kyosuke's ears, but almost every sentence was inseparable from the two words "Forgotten Swordsman" and "Become a Slayer Again".

Hojo Kyosuke glanced around suspiciously. He saw Mitsuha, who was squinting and smiling at him foolishly, saw the little girl Hikigaya Komachi who was waving her hands vigorously, saw Totsuka Ayaka with sparkling eyes and Hikigaya Hachiman who looked like a pervert, and also saw... Zaimokuza Yoshiki, who was sweating and looked guilty.

He paused for a while and the smile on his face disappeared.

So...

I, Hojo Kyosuke, am a swordsman who forgets. My special move is "Rebirth Slash", which can slash the enemy's memory out of his head with one blow, allowing him to be reborn?

No one would really believe this nonsense, right? We all graduated from high school at least, and we all know that concussion can cause retrograde amnesia...

Looking at the scars of Daidoji Masaji that showed tension, and the nervous expression of Nagase Ichiro, Hojo Kyosuke fell silent.

No, do you really believe it?

If I really have this ability, why would I use it to fight with you grown men?

I would definitely go home to find my girls first, slash their memories, and tell them that we are all good sisters, and we are all my wings. No one can leave. We all slept in the same bed before, and we must get along well.

This is true love and peace. Who would waste time fighting? (End of this chapter)
