Hogo No Yujin (Protective Friend)
Episode 48– Who is Onirida?
"Dylan-san!!" I screamed to call his name. I haven't been able to find him yet. He just walked straight on the sidewalk, right?
Where's he going, anyway?
I kept running while continuing to call out Dylan-san's name. No matter who was on the street near me, I looked at myself in confusion. I just want to know about Dylan-san!
DRRR... DRRR....
Eh? I felt my phone vibrate in my sweater pocket. I reached into it and took my little phone from inside. When I opened the screen, I saw that his brother Dylan-san, Fely-chan's name was there.
"Onee-chan is? What's up?" After answering his phone, I hesitantly asked. I'm a little scared of Onee-chan. Afraid that she would feel sad that I had lost Dylan-san.
She must have wanted to ask me about Dylan-san's whereabouts. Because when we left, we didn't have time to say goodbye to him. Dylan-san has just left. When asked aboutii-chan, we simply replied, "want to go out for a while".
He must be worried and anxious if I tell him the truth about Dylan-san's situation as Irvan saw in his prediction.
[Aita-chan! Where are you now? ]
Eh? He asked back. His tone sounded firm and quick. There must be something bad.
I quickly replied, "Ah, I don't know where this is. But right now I'm on the side of the road not far from Dylan-san's favorite bookstore."
[You still there?! ]Onee-chan sounded surprised. I don't get it. What's the matter with him. [Aita-chan! Come back quickly now! Go home! ]
"Ah, what's the matter, Onee-chan?"
[Go home! Don't you feel anything? There's an Onirida who's telling you to know! ]
"Actually I already know. But right now I have to–"
[There's not much time! Now go home quickly! ] Onee-chan so yell at me. His tone was like he was angry with me. [Go home! Don't let your sister fight that Onirida! ]
"Eh? Onii-chan knows who Onirida is?" ask me in a tone of disbelief. While walking quickly to return home, I continued to hold my phone while staring at the sky and the roof of the building and the house around me.
[I don't know yet. But your brother said, all he found was Oni. He hasn't found the Onirida. ]
"But Dylan-san...."
[Don't worry about Dylan! He's already home. Now you're home too! Now all the Oniroshi are hiding in their places until they discover who the Onirida is! ]
I started running. This time I've been really scared of Onirida that nobody knows about. Even Oniroshi as great as Onii-chan alone could not find himself. "Onee-chan knew that she was using a long-range weapon?"
[Not a weapon. But it's the element. All I know is that the Onirida has some kind of elastic skin with explosives or whatever it's called. I knew him once. He had a claw crest on the needle he shot at Dylan. ]
"Paw emblem? Waita minute!" I stopped my words to think for a moment. I seem to have heard of the claw emblem that Onii-chan once told me. What don't-don't... That onirida is him?!
Now I have to go home quickly!
Once inside the alley, I immediately jumped up high to the roof of the house that was beside me. After that, I jumped onto the other roof until I finally got home.

Elsewhere at the moment, Onii-chan is chasing after one Oni who is trying to escape from her. An Oni who attacked him once. The Oni is a half lion cub with 5 large tentacles from its back. The tentacles are known to have toxins and electric shocks that are deadly to humans. But if for Oniroshi, the electric shock can only be paralyzing.
"For now, I don't want to get electrocuted a second time." Onii-chan. He was getting tired of playing chases with the Oni. Hence now, it was time for him to unleash the power of his speed.
"Cho no Hayakushu!" A collection of blue light appeared around Onii-chan's body. Then after that, he stomped one of his right legs on one of the roofs of the houses nearby. After that, Onii-chan jumped up with her super speed that she already used.
Just once he hit his foot, he was able to catch the Oni he was chasing. After Onii-chan caught his neck and body, he immediately hit the Oni's face quickly.
Due to the pain and loss of balance in flying through the air, the Oni fell down. After a fall, Onii-chan let go so that he also did not fall down.
Oni's body, which was as big as a truck, fell in the middle of the road. Precisely he fell in the crowd of people who were crossing the road.
A TAP!
Onii-chan landed on top of one of the second-level shop buildings on the side of the road where the Oni fell. The residents only felt a slight tremor when the Oni fell and they could not see the Oni. They suspect that the tremors were just aftershocks from elsewhere. Only a few people ran from the scene.
After the Oni fell, Onii-chan immediately took out all five of his tentacles. After that, he jumped towards the Oni from the top of the building, then stabbed the Oni's body with its tentacles.
The Oni only let out a quick groan to endure the pain. After that, Onii-chan raised the Oni with his tentacles then stomped a second time and jumped quickly with his strength.
He will take the Oni to a place far away from humans so that no one gets hurt when Onii-chan will kill him. He took the Oni into the woods of the city. On a hillside with a vast expanse of grass, Onii-chan dropped the Oni from above and began to drain its power.
Instantly Onii-chan's hands and body were filled with a bright blue light and lit up like a blazing fire. Then, before he shoots his attack, Onii-chan will mutter, "Aoi hi kogeki" to his nurse.
But before that, Onii-chan had a chance to look at the Oni below him. He stopped the attack, then was shocked. The Oni he had previously seen was extremely creepy and huge.
But now, the Oni has changed. Turned into a short brown haired girl with no clothes. After the Oni shows its true form, Onii-chan does not have the heart to attack him and even kill him.
Right now, the little girl was cowering in pain on the grass. But before long, her movements stopped and the girl instantly lost consciousness.
Onii-chan landed next to the girl. He intends to take her back home and treat the girl with help from Onee-chan.
