At this moment, the dying Desire Demon regained some strength, got up from the ground, and attacked Taro with his long sword.
"What a troublesome servant." Taro drew the blast gun and kicked the charging Desire Demon, sending her crashing to the ground. He opened the box at his waist, took out the only gear, and loaded it into the blast gun.
Seeing the Demon of Desire struggling to get up on the ground, Taro delivered a powerful kick, pinning the demon to the ground. Then, his two strong legs clamped around the demon's neck, holding it firmly in place.
"Use this! Bakuta Transformation—" Taro's hand quickly turned the gears on the gun, and the Boom Blast Gun responded to the other's movements with a "Boom—Boom—Boom—" sound.
"Dong Piao - Full Throttle Caesar!"
Taro raised his gun and fired at the door in the sky; the bullet opened the door.
"Bang bang! bang bang! bang bang! bang bang bang! Full power Caesar! Yo—Secret power!"
Taro instantly transformed into a warrior wearing a white coat with red trim, resembling a motorcycle rider. He raised his gun, and bullets rained down like a storm.
"Whoa! This is too reckless! Ouch! Ouch! Does it hurt?" Ai Yin, who was bracing herself for the bullets, found that the bullets hit the heads of each of the Honkai Bodies precisely.
Yellow lightning shot out from the head, instantly breaking the collapsing entities into small cubes.
"I see, because it's a zombie, you have to hit its head." Aine suddenly realized.
As he spoke, Taro had already reverted to his original form, picked up the sunglasses sword, and pressed the blade against the head of the unconscious Desire Demon, turning the gears on it.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Come-on!"
As if its energy storage was complete, the sword began to emit a standby sound.
"Bakutaro Slash! Bakutaro Slash! Bakutaro Slash!"
"Guardian Mirror Slash!" Taro tightened his grip on the sword and pressed the trigger: "Quick Peach Messy Strike!"
"Ultimate Technique - Tyrant's Slash!"
The longsword was filled with colorful sword light. Taro slashed to the side with force, leaving a sword mark on the body of the Desire Demon. Taro released his thigh that was pressing down on the opponent's neck and stepped back.
Then, the Desire Demon exploded.
"Is this all it takes to solve it...?" Aine collapsed weakly to the ground.
However, the debris from the explosion was also cordoned off, and Taro backed away from the cordon.
Purple flames shot into the sky from the area enclosed by the police tape, and the demon of desire instantly revived, becoming enormous.
"You haven't finished your homework! Don't go to school!" The enormous demon of desire brandished its long sword and cleaved the school building in two.
"What the heck is going on?!" The pink-haired girl stood up, compared her own height of 1.2 meters to that of the other person who was at least 50 meters tall, and then sat down dejectedly.
Taro leisurely mounted his motorcycle, placed a gear on the hood, started the engine, and headed towards the gigantic Desire Demon.
At the school gate not far away, a white-clad warrior, whose appearance was very similar to Taro's, also turned the hand crank in his hand and then fired forward.
"Honestly, why can't they take better care of their own children and have to trouble an old woman like me who has difficulty walking?"
From within the warrior's visor came the complaining voice of an elderly woman; though aged, it was a voice full of vigor.
As if sensing something, Taro leaped off the motorcycle. The motorcycle seemed to respond, slowly growing larger, and a massive red Tyrannosaurus Rex followed at incredible speed.
A gigantic phantom of the white warrior appeared behind him, his hands forming a gesture, and he shouted, "Boom! All Realms Combine!"
"Thump! King Kai—"
The two machines quickly transformed into a giant robot with a huge gear on its shoulder, a blade on its right arm, and a shield on its left arm. Taro's figure appeared directly in the cockpit.
"Yo—full power!"
The giant Desire Demon seemed to have noticed the giant robot as well, and quickly rushed towards King Kai, raising its sword to strike.
"I still have work to do today, it's too much trouble, let's finish this quickly!"
Taro manipulated the shield on the left arm of the All-King Kai to quickly clamp it in the path of the opponent's blade, then stretched out his thigh and kicked the Desire Demon over, sending a huge cloud of dust spreading in all directions.
"Hey hey hey!!" Aine quickly ran away, almost getting crushed by the giant demon of desire; otherwise, she would have been reduced to Aine-chan. Aine patted something that wasn't even on her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
With a thud, the gears on the All-King's shoulder fell off, and he quickly moved to step on the thigh of the Desire Demon, revealing several cannon barrels that unleashed powerful firepower.
"Thump! Flying Kick Explosion!" The All-King Kai exerted a slight force, his thigh quickly sliding forward, and the giant Desire Demon slid in that direction. Then, the gears rapidly returned to their positions, and the All-King Kai raised his arm blade, the gears on his shoulder spinning rapidly. A giant peach appeared behind him!
"That's it! Thud! Full destruction!"
The arm blade, gathering the power of the gears, turned crimson. With a thud, the All-King of the Universe leaped high, the arm blade cleaving the peach in two. A massive gear rolled out from within, crushing the Desire Demon. Then, the greatsword, brimming with energy, swiftly pierced the gear, causing the Desire Demon to explode, and a gear fell to the ground.
Before they could even celebrate their victory, Taro and King Kai's bodies turned into specks of light and vanished in an instant.
Aine breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground like a dead dog.
Ah... what will my life be like from now on?
Ice House
Saya grabbed Hina's shoulder, who was lying on the ground, and shook her: "Hina, Hina, wake up, you'll catch a cold sleeping in a place like this."
"Sister...?" Hina opened her eyes groggily and saw her favorite sister. She hugged her tightly. "Sister, I feel like I had a super funny dream, but I can't remember it."
"That's just how dreams are. Have you been too tired lately? You should get some rest," Saya whispered to Hina, her hand tightly clutching a piece of paper.
"If you notice anything unusual about Hina, come find me here. Only I can help her."
This episode is over.

The first time, I encountered
It was an ordinary afternoon, sunny and bright, perfect weather for airing out blankets. The weather was neither too hot nor too cold, it was extremely comfortable.
Chihaya Aine pulled out her beloved electric guitar, which had been lying around for a long time, from the corner of her room.
Although this green guitar is covered in dust, those are minor things. Just a little dusting of this guitar that fought alongside me during junior high, just a little more practice...
Then the genius student council president and guitarist/vocalist, Chihaya Aine, is completely resurrected!
The band atmosphere on Haneoka's side is really intense. If he can pick up his old guitar skills again, he will definitely attract everyone's attention.
She confidently strummed the guitar strings.
"Huh? That's weird?"
Feeling that something was off, she plucked the chords again, following her memory.
"Huh? Something's definitely not right. The voice is completely different from before..." Aine muttered to herself in a troubled tone, her head lowered.
"Ding dong, ding dong."
The sound of the doorbell ringing.
"I'm so sorry to bother you. Is this Chihaya-san's house?"
The unfamiliar boy's voice had a very clean and pure quality to it.
Perhaps not hearing a reply, the doorbell rang again, accompanied by the boy's slightly louder shout:
"Is Ms. Chihaya Aine home? I'm a courier from Shirokuma Express. There's a package for you here. Could you please sign for it?"
Aiyin peered out the window and, sure enough, saw a White Bear Express delivery truck parked on the road not far from her door.
It does look like a courier company. Oh right, she bought an effects pedal yesterday. Could it have already been delivered?
With that thought in mind, Ai Yin poked her head out the window and said in a sickeningly sweet voice, "Yes~ please wait a moment, I'll open the door right away."
Love Sound's social rule: hide your bad mood, and you'll be more likely to gain people's favor! Have you all learned it?
Chihaya Aine will be launching her campaign in a social format!
She trotted down the stairs from the attic and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was a deliveryman in a red and black uniform. This man was quite tall for the deliveryman, about a head taller. And so handsome! Where did this idol come from? Is the delivery industry really that corrupt these days? Such a handsome guy actually wants to be a deliveryman.
Ai Yin glanced at him again and said something impolite: compared to being a deliveryman, this guy clearly has a better future as a male escort.
In short, she sorted out the jumbled thoughts in her mind and said in a high-pitched voice, "Sorry to keep you waiting, I am Chihaya Aine."
"Please sign or stamp this, thank you." The handsome young man handed over the express box along with the delivery slip.
"Haha, there's no need to be so formal. You can just sign here, right?" This handsome guy's formal request made Ai Yin feel like she was signing a wedding certificate instead of paying for a delivery. What's wrong with this guy?
"Yes, thank you." The deliveryman straightened up, looked at Ai Yin's hand signing, and didn't say anything. After Ai Yin finished signing her name, he handed him the delivery slip, said thank you, and then tried to close the door.
"Snapped--"
But the deliveryman unexpectedly reached out and blocked the door: "So we're connected now. You look troubled."
"Huh?" Aine froze for a moment. Had she encountered a deliveryman disguised as a murderer? No, a murderer disguised as a deliveryman? She felt cold sweat beading on her forehead.
Dad, Mom, please forgive your young daughter for not being able to be with you anymore.
She nervously closed her eyes, cold sweat beading on her forehead.
"You don't look well, are you alright?" The deliveryman asked Aiyin very seriously and with great concern.
Aine slightly opened her eyes.
Honestly, what am I thinking?!
She forced herself to compose herself and managed an awkward smile: "Haha, it's...nothing serious."
Whose fault do you think it is?!
[But was my expression really that obvious?]
"I'm sorry. Although I'm just a deliveryman, I deliver more than just goods. I also deliver happiness." The deliveryman said very seriously.
"It's a kind of fate that we met today, so if you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask."
Chihaya Aine was stunned. If she remembered correctly, this was the first time they had met.
She carefully observed the seemingly earnest man, looking at his sincere face. She hesitated for a moment, wondering if she should openly mock him. Was he suffering from chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur)? What kind of kind person would let a strange man into their home? And what was this talk of "fate"? Where did this outdated pickup line come from?
"Then, come in." She didn't say it out loud, and instead let the other person in!
The man's expression was so serious that Aine swallowed back what she wanted to say. She bent down and took out the guest slippers.
"Well then, excuse me." Without hesitation, the man took off his shoes and put on the guest slippers.
