"Ughhh!" His stomach hurt from the internal wound. His breathing began to cramp as he endured his pain. "Am I going to die now?"

"Haha...."

Dylan opened my eyes again and glanced at the monster. She laughed like a bad woman. His voice sounds creepy. The monster walked over to Dylan with some of its tentacles writhing.

"Killing you was easy. Now, get out of there! I want you to show yourself, Ta~ka~na...!"

"Eh? A takana? What'd he say? A–aku it's Dylan, loh! Not Takana. His eyes are blind, huh?"

Dylan's body is getting weaker. His face was pale and the bleeding in his wound was still not stopped. His body trembled and his gaze began to faintly.

"DYLAN-DIAAN!"

"Eh?" Quickly, Dylan shook his eyes again. He heard the voice of someone who sounded familiar in his ears. Apparently his guess is right. At the end of the bridge, he saw Takana Utsuki.

A Shota whom he knew with his carelessness and stupidity. "Di–dia what do you want here? It's dangerous! He could end up like me too!" Dylan did not want Takana to get close to him. If he could have said it directly, but now somehow his voice could not come out.

"What did you do to Dylan-san?!" takana shouted once more while walking quickly towards the monster. Dylan was still watching. He also saw the boy carrying his bag.

"That's enough, monster!" Takana reached into Dylan's bag. He was looking for something in it.

Slowly, Dylan glanced back at the monster before him. The monster grinned with its wide, sinister smile until some of its pointy teeth were spotted. "Are you looking for this?!"

Takana looked up again and stared at something the monster was holding. Takana. "E–eh?! How can you...."

"Khu, khu, khu? But baby, on the bus, I took it!"

"The fish! So he already realized it? He must have taken that thing when I fell asleep!" Inner Takana was furious because the weapon given by his brother was successfully taken by the monster without him noticing.

"Hahaha..., now, without this thing, what can you do, little boy?"

ZZLUUURR....

The monster again stuck out its tentacles quickly. This time, the target was aimed at Takana. Quickly, Takana jumped up high to avoid the attack from the tentacles. He stood on a tree not far from the bridge.

"Stop this!" yell Takana from up there.

"Stupid! I might want to stop having fun with you. Haha...!"

The monster again stuck out its tentacles. Takana was avoiding again. But the tree that Takana had just occupied was split in two and fell into a river. The tree fell because it was hit by the tentacle. Turns sharp too. Dylan was surprised to see it.

"Takana .. Who are you? Ah, I don't care. Anyway, you have to win against the monster."

Subconsciously, Dylan supported Takana. He had also just seen Takana jump up high and move fast like that. Unbelievable. He could barely see his movements.

Chapter 22: [Mr April vs Tanaka Utsuki ]

"Akhs! It hurts!" Dylan could no longer move. His body was suddenly paralyzed, his heart was beating fast and his breathing was not bad. It's very difficult to breathe oxygen and remove carbon dioxide at a time like this. "What will happen to me? My eyes are dark!"

"DYLAN-DIAAN!"

Dylan was already unable to hear Takana's screams this time. He finally fell back unconscious with blood still flowing through his wound.

"Ah, that's it...." The monster smiled at Takana. Then one of his tentacles approached Dylan. The tentacle raised its unconscious body with an increasingly open wound on the man's stomach. "Takana, this is who you are, anyway? You seemed to worry about him once." The monster shakes its head. "Ohoho...., how would you react if I threw him into that rushing stream?"

"Eh! Noooo! Don't you dare do that! I'll kill you!" snapped Takana. It seemed, he started to let out his emotions.

"Khu~khu~ looks like you're very worried, huh? That's funny! Hmm.., I can't wait to see your other expressions. I'll try, okay? Plung~"

"GODAAAAK!"

The monster dropped Dylan's body into the river. His body was carried by the river. Takana came down from the tree. He stood on the edge of the bridge as he extended his hand to grab Dylan. But baby, the body was getting further carried away by the current.

Takana's off guard because of Dylan. The monster uses the opportunity to capture Takana with its tentacles.

ZZLLUUURS....

"Catch~ Fu Fu Fu Fu...."

"Aah!"

Takana could not escape from there even though he had tried to rebel to break away. The tentacles were too strong to hold something and too thick to crush. Takana can't do anything. His hands and feet were unable to move.

"Why would you drop poor Dylan-san's body in that water?!" snapped Takana.

"Suut~" One of her tentacles smothered Takana's mouth. "Sorry atuh. I thought you were still in his body. Sorry yeah. I was not intentionally. I was just after you. Cup~ cup~ don't cry dong. You're so cute! But, can I destroy that cute face of yours?" Said the Monster while licking his index finger. His words sounded soft, but also creepy.

Takana just shook his head slowly and stared in disbelief at the monster. It seemed, Takana had also begun to resign to his fate. Takana closed his eyes and his body had already started to limp as the tentacles wrapped around him grew stronger.

"heeh? Want to destroy people's faces? Are you not satisfied with that scary face of yours? Or maybe you're jealous of having an ugly face?"

The monster was surprised. He was wailing in search of the voice of someone who had mocked him or insinuated him earlier.

"Hey, I'm here you know. Your eyes are blind, huh? My time this big is invisible?"

Uh! It was Tanaka's voice. He was standing on a tree branch with a slanted smile on his face. Then, after the monster glanced at him, Tanaka changed his position. He squatted on the tree branch.

"Well, well, I was surprised. How can you catch my brother so easily? Great once~"

"....?!" With an expression that was still a little surprised, the Monster did not answer Tanaka.

"Well, how quiet, anyway? Let's dong babble again? Wh why? Am I interrupting, huh? Hehe.., sorry, yeah. I'll go, deh!" Tanaka stood up straight again. He laughed, then looked back with his sharp gaze towards the monster. "But, before I go, there's one more thing I have to do, loh~"

WUUUSH!

"DOLL?!" The monster was shocked when it saw Tanaka who had suddenly just moved quickly towards him. He prepares his tentacles and intends to attack Tanaka.

"He's gonna want to attack me, huh? Heh! It won't be that easy." Mumbled.

His tentacles began to run towards Tanaka. But, it turned out to be wrong because the figure of Tanaka suddenly disappeared with lightning speed. The monster returned in confusion while searching for Tanaka's current whereabouts.

THE PUK!

"Tap~ I'm here, loh."

The monster was again startled by the sudden presence of Tanaka behind it. Tanaka propped up his chin on top of his tentacles while smiling to himself. Her smile looks sweet.

"When were you there?"

"Since then, have you! Take it again. Hoaam~ Now we want to do what, is it good?"

"Fucking fuckin! Get away from me!"

BRUISES!

No longer be. The tentacles were only about the bridge barrier. And now, that barrier is even broken.

"eeeh? Don't be so upset, dong. A little attack, a little attack. I'm bored, right!" Tanaka was currently standing on that tree branch again. His movements were very fast in evading. But, was his martial defense to fight against the Monster also strong? From then on he just kept dodging.

"Capture you! Why do you keep avoiding, huh!? Let's get ahead here!" challenge the monster.

"Ooh~ do you want me to fight? Hmm.., but sorry. I don't like the hardness~" Tanaka answered him with a tone of voice that was imitated and his index finger stuck to his lips with an expression of Tanaka raising her eyes while looking down.

"Whisper! Let's get ahead here!" The monster again challenges Tanaka.

"Ah, so you're a forced woman, huh? All right, I'll do it." Tanaka stood up again from his squatting position. He stood up straight. Then, before long, he let out a gripping aura and some black smoke that shot out from his body.

CK-C-CRAAASS!

Some tentacles of his started coming out from his back. The tentacles looked smaller than the monster Bu April. But, Tanaka tentacles can be elongated and widened according to the wishes of the user.

Shortly after Tanaka took out his tentacles, he looked up again and his face could be seen. The monster was surprised by Tanaka's sudden creepy look.

The wind blew around him, the long bangs covering his right eye were open and slightly raised. It can be seen, Tanaka's creepy broad eyes. Coupled with Tanaka's super scary angry expression!

"You'll regret having challenged me to a fight." Tanaka.

"Be, noisy! Go, you!"

"You'll regret it if I attack first."

"Bodo very! Hurry up you-"

WWUUUSH....

ZRAASH! ZRAASH! XRASH*!

A TAP!

"I'm sorry, I can't attack women." Tanaka went back to the tree branch.

The monster grew more shocked and frightened. Because what? Because Tanaka had cut off all the tentacles belonging to that monster. Really am! With lightning speed, Tanaka cut all the tentacles using his tentacles. Then, that chance, he used it to save Takana as well.

After all the tentacles were destroyed, the monster fell sitting on the bridge. Then, not long after, the beautiful figure of April Ma'am returned. Ms. April just fell silent while looking at her hands above her thighs. He still raised his eyes with his shocked facial expression.

"Ti–no way..., in, he it's a real monster!" mummy Bu April slowly.

"Ah, play around we've already, huh? Actually, my only purpose here was to pick up my sister. All right, see you! Attack me whenever you want!" Tanaka darted quickly from the top of the branch while holding his unconscious brother.

"Cannot be. I lost to him again? Di–dia is really strong. In fact, I couldn't even see his movements earlier." April ma'am muttered again. Then, he scratched his head in anger.

Then not long....

"Mother? What are you teachers doing here?" tanya Adrian, the head of class 3-A. It's not alone. All the 3-A class kids are on that bridge. They're approaching April's Mom.

April is back to look up. He looked at all his students with a smile. Then, April Ma'am again brought out her yellow eyes.

"Kids, I have a duty for you! Hihi...."
