El-Fighter: The Brave New Fighter (Book I)
84. Unbelievable

The V-FIGHTER looks to have finished their evening meal and Ryuga willingly pays for everything without any coercion from anyone. Whenever a V-FIGHTER eats together, Ryuga always pays for everything they order and it is never forced by anyone. Tazuya and the others feel bad that Ryuga always pays them, but Ryuga doesn't bother about it

“ Thank you for coming~ “ The cashier said

“ Yaaa “ Ryuga replied with a smile

“ You should not bother paying us~ anyways here I invite you “ Gumam Inuya

“ Ah ! Tazuya-kun ! Friends ! We have to hurry ! “ Said the surprised Ataru as he saw something from his future vision

“ What's up ? “ Ask Tazuya

“ His girlfriend Oxtoroo-san ! I can see he's in this town and attacked by a cat monster ! “ Clear Ataru

“ What ?! “ Other V-FIGHTER was surprised when he heard the explanation from Ataru

“ Girlfriend Oxtoroo ? Monster Cat ? Oh don't tell Atraco anymore ! Let's find him right now ! “ Invite Tazuya to others to hurry to find the whereabouts of Swift Polly and the cat monster Zi

“ T-wait ! “

“ Yes Jubei ?! “ Ask Inuya

“ Uuummm~ this is his friend who yes ? Who wears a green dress ? or the white mini-dress ? “ Tanya Jubei with her tone of doubt to make sure if Ataru does not see wrong

“ A white mini-dress with long ear accessories ! “ Answer Ataru

“ Okeee ! Trustworthy and worthy of help ! Ayooo ! “ Said Tazuya who again invites other V-FIGHTER to look for Swift Polly

“ Follow me ! “ Ataru invites others to follow him in search of the whereabouts of the Thetoid woman

Swift Polly had a hard time confronting Zi alone and was repeatedly thrown away for dodging the attack. Because of the difficulty to deal with it, Swift Polly decided to contact Oxtoroo to help her because people around her did not dare to help her and were afraid of being targeted by Zi as a cat monster

“ Cih ! Fucking creature ! “ Grunts Swift Polly

“ Oxtoroo ! Where are you ! Help me now ! UWAAAA ! Follow location i-UWAAAA! “ Swift Polly tries to call Oxtoroo at the same time get an attack from Zi

(BABAAAAAAAAKKK )

Oxtoroo, who is intending to return to Superbia-07, suddenly receives a distress call from his glasses. Knowing that it came from Swift Polly, the Thetoid young man came to the conclusion to briefly delay his intentions and search for the whereabouts of Swift Polly

( Biips! Biip! Biip! Biiip's! )

“ Emergency signal ?! “ Mumbled Oxtoroo

“ Oxtoroo ! Where are you ! Help me now ! UWAAAA ! Follow location i-UWAAAA! “

“ Polly-chan ! She's here ?! Woe he's in trouble ! “ Frantic muttered Oxtoroo and decided to temporarily undo his intentions back to Superbia-07 in search of Swift Polly's whereabouts

Swift Polly attempted to put up a fight by shooting a laser from her cyberglove. But he still lost quickly to Zi who finally made him fall and hit the pavement because it was thrown by him

(THEY ARE)

“ AGH ! “ Whiteness Swift Polly

As Zi prepared to step on him, a laser shot suddenly appeared and shot straight at him right on his shoulder. They both saw that the laser turned out to be from the spirit gun from Ataru who came along with other V-FIGHTER members. Swift Polly still knew their battlesuit and was shocked to learn that one of her enemies had come to her aid

(ZYUUUUUUUUUUUNG! BLAAAAAR! )

“ Heh ! According to predction ! “ Ataru said with confidence

“ Ka-kalian ?! “ Swift Polly surprised to see who helped her was V-FIGHTER

“ KAZAMI ! “ Tazuya quickly immediately issued Kusanagi's first technique to get rid of Zi from Swift Polly

( WUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSH)

“ Now ! “ Tazuya ordered the others to advance

Seeing the V-FIGHTER begin to arrive to attack her left Zi with no choice but to face them and release Swift Polly

(VERSE ! VERSE ! VERSE ! VERSE ! )

“ HAAAAAAAAH “ Ryuga throws Anthos shield at Zi

(YESYAAAAAAAAT! TWOGH !!! )

“ Ah ! Umm~ Halllooo~ your Swift Polly ? Really Swift Polly’s ? “ Tanya Jubei as she approached Swift Polly and shot Estrella's arrow towards Zi

“ Ummm yaaa ! That time you forgot ?! You remember we always faced each other ! “ Complaints Swift Polly who did not accept Jubei forget her name

(SHAAAT! YESOOOO! SHAAAT! YESOOOO! )

“ Eeeerrr~ just want to make sure if you are not your sister who is disguised as you ! “ Jubei

“ I'm glad someone asked me that ! Don't worry I'm not her ! “ muttered Swift Polly who together started attacking towards Zi with their distinctive weapons

(ZYUUUUUONG! ZYUUUUONG! ZYUUUONG! SHAAAT! YESOOOO! )

“ Come Beta ! “ Tazuya invites Inuya to attack Zi simultaneously

“ Okeeeee ! “

“ HYAAAAAAAAAAAAH ! “

Tazuya and Inuya team up to defeat Zi who starts to be able to attack the five of them. Inuya punched the monster's stomach firmly and followed with Tazuya rising above his head and slashing the Biofuse-link which caused Zi to turn back into herself

(CUAAAGH! YOAAAAAAAAK! )

“ Nice ! “ Said Tazuya who was proud because their efforts succeeded

(SRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING )

“ Agh ! Kitty ! “ Zi who returned to being the same as before immediately ran away from V-FIGHTER to avoid their pursuit

“ Hey ! Don't- “

“ Wait ! Let him run Epsilon ! Besides, we actually have another reason to meet him ! “ Tazuya stops Jubei while reminding other destinations why they helped Swift Polly

V-FIGHTER approaches Swift Polly who still can't believe what they're doing. Swift Polly immediately thought that Tazuya and the others had another reason why they had come to her aid. Tazuya immediately praised Swift Polly by saying that what he thought was true

“ Hmmmm ! You know. I'm still your enemy ! And I'm sure you had other intentions in saving me from that monster “ Swift Polly said in her ribbed tone

“ Hm ? “

“ Actually... that's right! There's something we want to talk to you about ?! And this has to do with your friend named Oxtoroo “ explained Tazuya

Swift Polly was shocked when she heard the name Oxtoroo mentioned by Tazuya. This made him think that the V-FIGHTER had actually caught him on purpose to lure him in and again asked the five of them if they were actually not joking

“ You guys ?! Ah ! Don't tell if- “

“ Eeeeeh~ J-do not install such expressions ! Solved Oxtoro he is fine koook~ but they are not with us ! And also he's a very coorporative person and quite careful ! “ Said Jubei who was shocked to see the increasingly sharp expression of Swift Polly

“ That's right ! We didn't do anything to that Oxtoroo ! However we all know about the conflict that has plagued you ! So for that Dullart-san agreed to cooperate with you guys ! So too with us ! For the sake of each of us ! “ Tazuya continues his explanation to Swift Polly

“ For the sake of the people... each of us ? “ Said Swift Polly who still doubted the words of Tazuya and others

“ That's right Polly-chan ! “ Said Oxtoro who had just come to their place

Oxtoroo finally came across Swift Polly and the fifth V-FIGHTER. The Thetoid youth was happy to see that his female friend had managed to escape from the custody of the elite soldiers

“ Oxto ! Hoooo~ is good you finally came ! You sure you weren't picked up by them ? What did they just ask you ? and mana- “

“ Don't worry ! They understand us ! Young Master is okay ! “ Clearly Oxtoroo while cutting off Swift Polly's slightly panicked words

“ A-What ? “ Said Swift Polly who could not believe what she had just heard from Oxtoroo's mouth

*****

Zi ran into a Gang that was quite far from the location of V-FIGHTER and others whose location could be penetrated to the location where his car was. While looking at the situation outside, Hassan immediately called out to him and asked what had just happened

( Biips! Biip! Click!)

“ Hassan ?! “

“ What just happened ?! While I was watching I saw the location of your Biofuse-link ringing indicating you were using it ! What's up ?! “ Ask Hassan from behind the scenes

“ Aaaah~ I accidentally saw the alien woman the General's men and tried to catch her with Biofuse-link ! And I was definitely defeated by that Fighter boy ! I didn't think they would come to help him ! “ Clear Zi

“ Them... help the Alien ? “ Asked Hassan in an unreliable tone

“ Yaaa ! But it seems I can see if they have any other intentions why they want to help him ! Because if they wanted to catch me they should have been after me ! “ Zi further explained about the current situation around him and could see if V-FIGHTER was not looking for him

Meanwhile, V-FIGHTER takes Swift Polly and Oxtoroo to a large tower not far from the Tsukishiro Hotel. There, Tazuya explained everything they had discussed to Oxtoroo just now including about the incident at MIRA Building. Tazuya said that Oxtoro himself chose to side with them because he cared about the future of the Thetoids and that it had already received the approval of Argus

“ So so ?! I think what the General said was just his thinking ! I didn't expect if he really wanted to side with you guys ! And the matter of His Majesty's death, it turns out that our guess is true Oxto ! It turned out that the five arrogant ones were taking part in putting together this damn plan ! “ Clear Swift Polly

“ Yaaa ! Like that ! Oxtoroo-san also said he intends to tell this all to your General ! So we can all talk about our attack plan to the Mothership “ Tazuya said

“ Hmmm~ doing assault on Parent Ship ? Who is our target ? Prince Morsdantaque ? are his soldiers included as well ? What about his supporters ? is Prince Gretue also one of our targets ? “ Swift Polly asked with her tone of doubt

“ It is certain Morsdantaque and his elite soldiers are our targets ! Even if we only manage to defeat the Prince without having to face his elite soldiers and Dullart-san manages to become the newest Emperor of your people, it will not guarantee your conflict will end ! “ Answer Tazuya

“ Right too anyway ! If it only targeted Prince Morsdantaque it would not guarantee the Young Master would survive ! Moreover, his five elite soldiers were not easy people to submit to or accept ! Their loyalty is too strong to the point that they are taking part in this premeditated murder ! “ Said Oxtoroo who agreed with what Tazuya said

“ So how is Swift Polly-san ? Are you starting to believe in us ? ehehe “ Tanya Jubei with her nervous tone

Swift Polly thought for a moment. As he thought what Tazuya said was true. Moreover, he and Oxtoroo had seen for themselves what the behavior of the elite soldiers belonging to Morsdantaque was very troubling

“ If there is no choice and this has received approval from the General. I don't think there is anything suspicious here ! I can see if what you say is full of honesty.unlike the human who had asked for strange rewards like that time “ said Swift Polly who began to trust V-FIGHTER.

“ Human ? Hooo so it's true that you were able to cooperate with that Atraco for the sake of your beloved Young Master ? I admit it's a super stupid way ! “ Complaints Inuya while issuing frontal ridicule to Oxtoroo and Swift Polly

“ Hey ! “ reprimand Ryuga while patting Inuya's shoulder

“ Good ! If that's the situation and you've told me that we don't have to be full friends ! “ Swift said Polly while deciding her decision to side with the V-FIGHTER while offering Tazuya a handshake

“ Nice ! “ Tazuya said as he accepted her hand job Swift Polly

“ We all didn't expect much from you guys ! We just want Young Master to come back and stop his followers Prince Morsdantaque ! Given that Young Master is very close to you, I am sure he will always know your kindness ! “ Oxtoroo told the five V-FIGHTER and DECA-I

Tazuya and the others fell silent for a moment upon hearing the praise from Oxtoroo. Although they knew that the Thetoid side apart from Dullart could not continue to be their friend and could not forgive what they had done a few days ago, Tazuya sincerely accepted Oxtoroos praise

“ Te-thank you ! “

“ ... “

“ Um Tazuya ! It's almost too late ! Sorry we have to go back to the dormitory before 8:30 ! “ Inuya warns Tazuya about their hostel deadline hour

“ Oh yes ! Celakaaa~ “ Jubei said with her panic tone

“ Jolly ! Well then we go home first ! Contact us if you get any info or get in trouble from another criminal ! “ Tazuya said before returning to dormitory

“ Okeee ! “

“ Good night ! “ V-FIGHTER finally left the two of them and rushed back to the Dormitory

While noticing their departure, Oxtoroo still could not believe why the school student who was chosen to become a protector of the people did not come from the military people. He still did not understand why the children had to fight with people who were more experienced than them

“ Polly-chan ! Why would schoolchildren like them want to fight against Prince Morsdantaque ?! “ Ask Oxtoroo

“ Hm ? “

“ I know we also have a military school program where the youngest 16 years old entered the school ! But none of them were parachuted into the military and battle before they were 19 ! But they... who are not from military school...why would you accept the position as protector of the people ?! “ Mumbled Oxtoroo

“ This world is full of mysteries ! It is said that I have heard from the info that I got if they were the first Fighter and El-Fighter who came from the age of 18 years old ! Maybe humans are actually a faction of knights ? Who is destined to fight in all things ? Maybe they are not like Prisman, but I believe there is something that is the reason why they have to fight “ Swift Polly explained while paying attention to the atmosphere in Shinjitsu city.

“ Reason yaaa~ “

Meanwhile, Rigel sits under the Sakura tree alone while Dullart is seen resting in his room. Rigel was thinking about what the future of Tazuya and the others would look like if they accepted their position as the real El-Fighter

“ They are young ! Just as young as Dennias when I first met him ! I could see their doubts, but they tried to hide those doubts as best they could because they were afraid if they thought I would be disappointed with them ! “ Rigel thought to himself as he leaned against a tree

In the Student Dormitory bathroom, Tazuya while soaking in the bathtub was thinking about what the situation would be like if they were to return to face Morsdantaque and whether they were mentally prepared if they were to return to face him and his men

“ Fuaaaaaaah~ convenient~ “ Praise Tazuya for warm hot water in the bath

“ What later we will manage to defeat him ? He is a formidable enemy ! Even I trembled slightly as he approached me ! If we manage to defeat him, then I will not hesitate any longer to finish off that person ! “ Thought Tazuya who was still thinking about his revenge intention to the person who had killed his parents
