Chapter 216: Lost Control
Chapter 216: A Beautiful Girl Who Has Lost Control Can Also Be Charming!
"A battle between a Ghoul and a Parasite—this is truly rare." Others couldn’t hear the sound because Ren had casually created a new space.
Ren, who had appeared silently, looked down at Utaha, who was slumped on the ground. He was surprised. "Utaha, your luck is really good; you’ve seen a good show."
A good show? What good show?! This was a terrifying encounter with two humanoid monsters! Utaha screamed fiercely in her heart.
Suddenly, she froze, her eyes wide, and her finger trembling as she pointed at Ren. "Ren? No! That’s not right! There was clearly no one here just now! You... you... are you human or a ghost?!"
She wouldn’t get this wrong; there had truly been no one in front of her. Then she thought that if monsters exist, then ghosts existing would also be reasonable, right? Or, was Ren himself a monster?!
Ren glanced at her, then reached out and took her right hand. "Wow!" Without giving her a chance to react, he pulled her up with brute force.
Utaha, thinking the ghost was about to reveal its true form, was about to scream when Ren quickly let go and covered her mouth. "Don’t scream. Didn’t you feel it? My hand has a body temperature; how could I be a ghost?"
After Ren said this, she felt it carefully. It really did seem warm, moist, and wet. Wait... wet? Utaha remembered that this hand had held hers, and her hand had touched the overflowing water because she was propping herself on the ground! So this wet feeling was urine!
Ren twitched the corner of his mouth. He removed the hand covering her mouth, looked at his palm with a slight hint of disgust, and wiped the water stains clean on Utaha’s black stockings. "Tsk, you dirtied my hand; you have to compensate me!"
Utaha ignored Ren’s hand, her sense of shame exploding, and quickly wiped the water stains from her mouth and cheeks with her sleeve. As for the wetness on her hands and the dripping from her skirt, flowing down her thighs to her heels... she didn’t know what to do for a moment!
Coupled with Ren’s slightly disgusted tone, she was almost in tears. Having grown up, this was the first time she had encountered such a situation, aside from things she couldn’t remember from her early childhood. Especially since this happened in front of Ren, and even on his hand... she wanted to die! Utaha’s mind was completely blank.
Ren, who had cleaned his hand, saw her eyes empty and merely shook his head with a ’tsk tsk.’ He was no longer surprised by such things. Utaha was just the fourth, after Yukino, Miura Yumiko, and Mrs. Yukinoshita. In this situation, Ren was already able to handle it without a ripple.
Rather, Utaha’s disheveled, shaky posture, forming a strong contrast with her usual aloof and unapproachable demeanor, instead aroused Ren’s strong interest. If he could clean up the faintly wafting wetness in front of him, he could then feel more interested.
Back to the main topic, Ren still had to deal with the problem between the Parasite and the Ghoul. He was truly very surprised. Ren recognized the man’s posture as a Parasite’s combat stance at a glance. This was a completely new anomaly.
Even more surprising to Ren was the woman fighting the Parasite, a Ghoul. Her white dress, purple hair, glasses, and the conspicuous four Rinkaku Kagune made Ren immediately think of Rize Kamishiro.
After dominating her memories and inner voice, he was even more astonished to discover that this woman was indeed named Rize Kamishiro. Previously, she was just an ordinary person. Just three days ago, she, like Vinsuke, mutated into a Ghoul and gained the memories of being the Ghoul Rize Kamishiro.
Initially, Rize Kamishiro was bewildered until she found normal food difficult to swallow, after which her life entered its darkest choice. One path was to live as a human. The other was to eat people as a Ghoul. The sudden change in identity left Rize Kamishiro at a loss and unable to accept it.
She hadn’t eaten anything for three days. Just now, after being provoked by the Parasite, she finally lost her human sanity and transformed into a Ghoul. Ren now also understood the true horror of this anomaly.
The added memories of a man-eating monster and the mutated body would force an otherwise normal person into madness, psychosis, and finally truly turn them into a crazed man-eating monster. The real pain was the process of psychological transformation. If one cannot adapt, they will likely become the Great Ghoul Rize Kamishiro, just like Rize Kamishiro.
Putting everything else aside, Rize Kamishiro’s strength was still considerable. From the start of the battle until now, less than two minutes, the Parasite was already crippled. This was even with Rize Kamishiro seeming unable to skillfully use her Kagune, fighting clumsily. If she were to practice a bit more, the battle could end even faster.
With both legs severed, the Parasite knelt on the ground, a flesh whip-blade shattered by Rize Kamishiro’s Kagune. The remaining whip-blade swung out, and Rize Kamishiro neither dodged nor avoided, striking simultaneously with all four Kagune.
"Splat!" The Parasite’s host body’s heart, abdomen, whip-blade, and the remaining small portion of its head were all thoroughly pierced without reservation. The Parasite’s body stiffened for a moment.
Rize Kamishiro withdrew her Kagune, and the Parasite curled up, withered, and fell to the ground. He was dead. Rize Kamishiro did not rush to enjoy her meal but turned to face Ren and Utaha.
Feeling the deadly gaze of the hunter, Utaha broke free from her mortified embarrassment. But what replaced it was a chilling fear that pierced her to the bone. She mustered her last shred of courage, tugged at Ren’s sleeve, and her delicate body trembled. "We... we should call the police!"
Ren glanced at her. "Are you out of your mind? If she really makes a move, will calling the police be in time? It’s more practical to just run."
"Oh, right!" Utaha was indeed out of her mind, a little dazed.
Ren sighed. "This generation of beautiful girls is difficult to handle. With such a strong backing, what is there to fear?"
"I’ll kill you!" Rize Kamishiro, having taken her first head, was utterly insane. Her terrifying Kagune immediately turned and lunged towards Ren and Utaha.
"It’s over! We’re going to die!" The whistling sound of rushing air in Utaha’s ears was a death knell. She had clearly seen the destructive power of those Kagune before; they could pierce through walls, let alone her delicate body.
Her peripheral vision caught Ren. Her mood before death was quite complex. At the very end, she was going to die with the person who had frequently appeared in her mind recently. No, perhaps not just recently. He was also Teacher Unheard Flower Name, whom she had thought about day and night for the past two years and had a good impression of.
She smiled sadly; perhaps this was fate. She just wondered if Ren-kun had any last wishes before he died.
"Kneel!"
"Eh?" Ren-kun’s dying wish was for her to kneel? Was he an S? Or did he need her mouth like in that hentai manga? Speaking of which, Ren-kun’s shouldn’t be as huge as in that hentai manga, right? If it was, her small cherry mouth might have some difficulty holding it. If there was enough time, she wouldn’t mind fulfilling his dying wish.
Unfortunately, that female monster didn’t seem to be giving them a chance. Clearly, the dazed Utaha was overthinking. Ren’s words were like an irresistible divine command, and Rize Kamishiro actually slid to her knees on the spot!
