High School Hack and Slash Chapter 178 Part 2

―― Territory『Ibuki Palace』 ――

―― countdown: 05:23:59:59 ――

I wake up to a faint ache, a pain in my chest.

「… Again, huh?」

Since I came to Onigashima, I’ve lost one battle after another.

The drunk oni『Shuten-douji』 and homo oni samurai『Akura-Ou』.

As for the extra lol Four Heavenly Kings, well, they don’t really matter.

「!」

A dull ache, as if I’ve hurt my ribs, makes me hold my solar plexus area.

I also have a light headache, so I think I slept a little too much.

Even without needing to check my GP bar, I can tell that I haven’t recovered from the damage.

After downing it to around 60% in the battle against Akura-Ou, I attacked the oni capital without recovering.

And then, now that I’ve taken a blow from Shuten-douji, it has gone down to about 10%.

For better or worse, my GP is also slowly recovering naturally.

However, unlike the SP of ordinary class holders, it does not recover fully after a night’s sleep.

The reason why I did not have to worry about it in my daily use was because Shizuka and the others had served as a source of GP for me.

Besides, even though I was caught up in this sudden event, the fact that my usual comrades, who I can rely on, not being with me is honestly harsh.

Not good.

It’s not like me to be whiny.

Rather than grumbling, let’s get on the move.

「Now then, where is this place?」

The place on which I wake up is a sheeting.

The strangely luxurious room is in a purely Japanese style.

It seems that I’ve been let to sleep on a futon on the wooden floor.

Someone must have brought me, who had been sent flying and knocked unconscious by Shuten-douji, in here.

For a prisoner of war, with no restraints put on me, the treatment is like that of a guest.

If I’m treated with courtesy, I cannot return it with discourtesy.

Even if the owner of the house is an oni, that’s a natural courtesy as a human.

Therefore, even when the sliding screen is slid open, I don’t do things like leaping over and holding them hostage.

「Ah… Touma-kun! So you have woken up.」

「Yeah. Are you, Subaru-kun?」

I think the one who entered the room is a mini-skirted yukata-clad Subaru-kun.

No, even in the Interface, he’s displayed as Subaru-kun.

He’s displayed as such, but…

Subaru-kun (rev), with his cheeks blushing in embarrassment, covers the cleavage of his big tits, which cannot be hidden by the yukata, with his hand.

「E, err. It must be surprising, isn’t it?」

「Yeah.」

「I, have been turned into a girl, you see….」

When a boy I know turns into a girl, it’s plainly surprising.

Kotarou-kun was also so into it, so I wonder if transsexual is a fad on Onigashima right now.

What a dangerous other world (raid) this is!

「But let’s leave it at that. Touma-kun, for now, listen to what I have to say.」

I wonder if it’s a subject that can just be left at that.

I feel that it’s crazy bad, but I end up being overpowered by Subaru-kun, who is at wits’ end.

「Originally, you see, you have not arrived at this estate yet, Touma-kun.」

「Hm.」

「But if the vision I saw were to be peeked at by Milady… I think it is without a doubt getting out of synch with the original history. That is exactly as I wished for, but I am afraid even the events that were supposed to happen would be lost, too.」

「Calm down, take a deep breath.」

I don’t get what he’s talking about, though.

「… Yeah, but it is not, a bad thing. The future that I could not change no matter how hard I tried is, changing. That is salvation.」

「… Salvation.」

「Say, listen. From here on, Touma-kun, you have to go get the『key』. It is also the key to end the world, but that is exactly why you have to be one to use the key, Touma-kun. You mustn’t　　　　.」

「Sorry. Say it one more time.」

Subaru-kun’s story is so abstract and has words I can hear here and there.

「I know. My skill can only foresee events that『will not change』 or『cannot be changed』. Which means, paradoxically, I cannot give you『information that will affect the future』. But if it is to get things back on their original track, I’m sure it will be okay.」

Subaru-kun’s words are incoherent.

That’s the ability of Subaru-kun’s rare class, 『Prophet』, huh.

「As an observer, I cannot change the vision I have observed. It seems that Prophet is a class that is bound by such rules. I thought it was ironic that I, who was looking for a way to bring those girls back to normal, ended up with such a class, but….」

Shaking his head, Subaru-kun floats a smile.

「But, you see, it looks like I was wrong. I’m sorry for depending and relying on you. But I am sure that the only person who can change the future is you, Touma-kun.」

「Sorry, but I don’t understand.」

「Ahaha. Yes, sorry. Err, you see. Touma-kun, from here on, please head to the『Mount Kinojou』 territory, which is ruled by『Ura』-sama, the first of the four pillars that rule over Onigashima. This is the land of beginning of this other world (raid) 『Onigashima』.」

◇ ◇ ◇

　A small cloud flew in the direction pointed by Subaru.

Looking at the overly surreal scene, he thought he, who was akin to a character from a fairy tale, was more suited to Onigashima than himself.

「–… So as opposed to going, you stayed, huh.」

「Ah, Milady.」

Appearing behind Subaru was a beauty dressed in a gorgeous kimono.

A figure straight out of the fairy tale of Heian-era picture scroll.

「Yes. I will carry out my role.」

「Hohoho. I thought you were just a cute little bird, but contrary to my expectation, you have nerves of steel.」

The one hiding her smile with a feather fan was the bewitchingly beautiful Ibaraki-douji.

「That is because this is the『price』 I have to pay to change the foresight I saw.」

Subaru’s precognition ability (prophet) was subject to various restrictions.

Even though as many『Possibilities (Classes)』 were born as the number of wishes, there was a limit to human capacity.

A skill that was so powerful that it transcended human knowledge came with corresponding limitations and restrictions.

「… Milady too, was it alright to overlook him?」

「What a tactless question. It is too tactless of an action to ask such a question to me who has went and read your memories, which I have peeked into without erasing them.」

「I, I am sorry.」

Subaru, having his cheek traced with her fingertips, shivered with an enraptured look on his face.

By all right, she was someone whose existence level was overwhelmingly superior to his own.

The only reason he had not lost consciousness from awe was because he had already received her affection.

The woman body that had been remade was turning into that of a female as it got thoroughly played with.

「Resolve to sacrifice yourself and trick the time. Fufufu, I do not dislike it at all. On the contrary, I like it very much.」

「Haa… Haa……, I, Ibaraki-douji, sama, ah…」

Fresh big tits were falling over from the exposed chest.

When the short hem was rolled up, one could see the small buttocks and the manhood, which was erect and letting out precum from the tip.

However, the scrotum had disappeared, and the labia and a new female organ had emerged inside the body.

An androgynous body, the same was true for Ibaraki-douji.

The erect oni root protruding from her gorgeous kimono was of an incomparable size compared to Subaru’s thing.

「Now. Here it is, let me love a lot. Fufufu, while we are at it, let us call a female oni to quell your pole, too.」

「Noo, I am, I am going to go crazy!」

Subaru’s ability to foresee the future was all about passive observation.

Therefore, the price he paid was unlike that of instantaneous stuff such as skills.

It was primitive and probably the first magic used by man.

Magic of equal exchange.

Prayer, tribute, or sacrifice.

They one-sidedly presented and offered it to a god, a spirit, a supernatural being, or something else.

Then, they demanded from the world a result befitting the price offered.

It was arrogant, one-sided, and very primitive『contract magic』.

In order to make a wish come true, a suitable price was required to change reality.

Be it time, effort, or monetary value, everything was the same.

As it was only natural, it was powerful, and as it was simple, anyone could do it.

It was simply that kind of magic (law).
