25.Scream of frustration

Jirou is alone in the underground concert hall.

Of course, he's wearing his slim power underneath and a cheap jumper on top.

The reason why Jirou is at this concert hall is because there was a rumor that Japanese rock music was going to be played now.

This is a space for underground idols of let out their heavy feelings.

And then the rock performer appears.

A low voice, for a woman, explodes into the hall.

Spotolite reflects off the metal covering her entire body.

Her appearance is like that of a medieval crusader soldier.

The only thing that distinguishes her from the crusader is the skull on her chest above the cross.

The sudden start of the rock scream shook the hall.

There is no way the people in the audience can understand Japanese, but the torrent of sound makes them dance.

That scream goes beyond words to shake the emotions of one person or another.

Jirou is near the entrance, feeling the vibes.

Jirou whispers. "The scream of sad."

Jirou walkes out after the performer finishes her scream.


Jirou sits on a bench in a nearby park.

Jirou pulles out several knives from his breast pocket and spins them in the air like a juggling out.

A moment later, without a sound, the performer from earlier is beside Jirou.

Jirou puts the knives away.

Then the performer asks. "Why did you feel sad?"

She asks as she watched Jirou's mouth.

Jirou says. "You look like my sister in some way. That's why the word 'sad' came to mind."

She asks. "Is your sister strong?"

Jirou says. "Yes. My sister is very strong."

She asks. "But is it sad?"

Jirou says. "My sister's hands are red with the blood her enemies."

She says. "Your sister is just like me."

Jirou says purposely trying to be cheerful. "Even the lack of breasts is similar."

She removes the iron mask.

Her name is Aodo. She has pale skin and glowing red eyes.

Jirou asks. "Fox people?"

Aodo's dark expression stares at Jirou.

Aodo asks. "Why can't adults understand the frustration of the young?"

Jirou says. "Because they don't want to know."

Aodo asks. "Why don't they want to know?"

Jirou says. "They don't know what they're doing?"

Adults aren't able to understand or deal with the information society.

So they don't know what future to show the young people.

Aodo says. "The future is also the future of adults, so why not think about it?"

Jirou says. "People who have lived their lives either by being taught by others or by imitating others find it difficult to think for themselves.

Until recently, adults have lived according to dark mass media.

Most people can't change on a dime.

Aodo says. "So they are ignoring all this shouting."

Adult's entire body is coverd in red foxfire from anger at the adults.

Jirou asks. "Dakini?"

Dakinis are one of the fox people that use the spiritual energy of the earth.

Aodo shouts. "After all, there's no point in shouting."



Several people around Aodo and Jirou start to move. They are the vampire butler's guards who follow Aodo around without her asking.

They misunderstood and started to move, as Aodo covered her whole body with foxfire.

Aodo shouts with a sullen expression. "Shut up."


The butler appears and says. "The boy is the brother of the sky fox woman."

Jirou is the god like people, so it's unlikely that his sister is of the sky fox woman.

Aodo asks in surprise. "Do you trick me?"

Jirou says. "No. I don't know you are my enemy."

Aodo moves away from Jirou and sends out three messengers.

Jirou says. "I want to talk more."

Aodo says a little more calmly. "I just appeared on my own."

The butler asks Aodo. "Will you help us?"

Aodo says. "Shut up."

Aodo only received the request to assassinate Yaeko. Aodo disappears.


The butler says. "She's selfish."

The butler gives the order to assassinate Jirou.

"Kill him."

Several gorilla men shoot Jirou with military rifles.

Jirou throws knives while dodging bullets.

The gorilla men don't avoid knives because they are wearing slim power.

Slim power can't be penetrated by a single shot, even the rifle bullet.

The knives don't penetrate the slim power and stick together.

From above, drones shoot gorilla men with anti-material rifles.

The gorilla men in the forest are shot with precicision and die instantly.

The butler who avoided the knife shouts. "Take that knife off!"

The butler quesses that the knives are locating devices.

The gorilla men peel off the knives and throw them away.

Jirou shoots the gorilla man twice with the armor-piercing gun in the park.

A hole in the chest of the gorilla man.

The gorilla men are still chasing Jirou.

 When the gorilla men are close enough, Jirou set up a smoke screen and detonated a grenade.

Also, one nearby gorilla man collapsed.

But there are still five men of the gorilla men left. The gorilla men try to kill Jirou.


Then, a group of people appear from the side shooting at the gorilla men.

The group that shoots the gorilla men is Bill, Pal, Yotsuo, and Diana.

The clones shoot the gorilla men again after the gorilla men are momentarily slowed down by a side attack.

Another three down, one gorilla man headed for Bill and one for Jirou.

Bill shoots the gorilla man precisely twice in the chest, and Pal shoots the gorilla man twice in the head.

When the other gorilla man's hand is about to reach Jirou, Jirou stabs the long needle into the border of gorilla's slim power.

The gorilla man is shot twice in the head by Yotsuo and collapses.


The butler, who is watching, is surrounded by Bill and others.

The butler bares his fangs and shouts. "Son of a bitch!"

At this moment, the butler's feet explode, and he disappears with the flames.




The butler is thrown into a back alley, quite a distance from the park.

The butler has blood and mud all over him.

The butler was blown away by the blast and fell here.

The butler says. "A safer way, please."

Aodo, beside the butler, says. "Shut up."

Aodo created the explosion so that the butler wouldn't be caught.

But, if the butler had been a person, it would have been a deady.

Aodo's images is Ado, Ado's rock, Uruseina, is in my opinion, the scream of the sensitive youth of today's developed world.
