My Gift Is “Beauty”. I Think It’s Useless, but It Seems to Be an S-Rank Gift With the Strongest Buff Effect for Beautiful Girls - Chapter 58: Convergence

Chapter 58: Convergence

“Come on, give up—Vice President, and unfamiliar driver.”

In the underground parking lot of the hotel where the appreciation party was held, Nagisa Kurebayashi used her gift and crushed a black luxury car.

Inside the car, Koji Kobayakawa, the vice president of Treasure Next, and his driver, Akira Yakushiji, were trapped.

“Hey! Do it!”

“Yes!”

When Kobayakawa gave the order, the driver took off his gloves. Then he raised both hands upward—

“Melt!”

In the next moment, tiny sweat droplets on his hands expanded—water droplets flew, and the car’s body began to melt one after another.

With the sound of the car’s body melting, the two slowly emerged from inside the car.

“…Acid?”

Nagisa Kurebayashi narrowed her eyes, observing the effect of Yakushiji’s gift.

The liquid melted the car’s body in an instant. If even a little touched the body, it would be disastrous.

However, Nagisa had the gift of wind. If she blew it away with wind, no droplets would touch her.

Then Yakushiji held a plastic bottle, apparently from inside the car.

He removed the cap and scattered it into the air.

“Acid Curtain!”

The water’s volume increased, and a transparent water curtain spread between Nagisa and Yakushiji’s group.

“Go!”

“I’m counting on you!”

“I won’t let you!”

Kobayakawa escaped alone.

Nagisa released wind toward the water curtain.

However, for some reason, the wind couldn’t destroy the curtain and was repelled.

“What’s going on…?”

“Take this!”

With Yakushiji’s voice, multiple water droplets flew from the water curtain toward Nagisa.

However, Nagisa defended with a wind shield, repelling the droplets.

“What… what is this?!”

“Hahaha… looking good, huh?”

For some reason, she couldn’t repel some droplets, and tiny water droplets hit the dress she wore.

Fortunately, they didn’t touch her skin, but the droplets on the dress suddenly melted the fabric, and it spread.

Holes opened in Nagisa’s dress, revealing glimpses of her underwear and skin.

“—No more holding back.”

Nagisa’s blood boiled.

Even so, she was S-rank. She had been through most rough situations.

This wouldn’t shake her.

“What!? Gah!?”

Invisible wind compressed to the size of a bat.

She released the small cylindrical wind toward the water curtain.

A hole opened in the water curtain, which couldn’t be broken earlier, and it hit Yakushiji directly.

He crashed into the melted car wreckage behind.

The water curtain floating in the air splashed to the ground, melting the asphalt as if it caved in.

Was the power simply insufficient? Nagisa’s wind pierced the water curtain.

“—Scattered Wind.”

Nagisa raised her right hand.

In the next moment, only the clothes Yakushiji wore were shredded to pieces.

As if in revenge for the holes in her dress, she tore Yakushiji’s clothes, leaving him naked.

However, Yakushiji didn’t realize this.

He had already lost consciousness when he crashed into the car wreckage.

“I leave the rest to you.”

Nagisa muttered to the void alone.

◇ ◇ ◇

“Haa, haa, haa…”

Kobayakawa desperately ran up from the underground parking lot, trying to escape outside.

“Just one more step… just one more step, and it’s mine…!”

For his ambitions, he hired the dark guild, tried to kill Midori Hourai, and even targeted Takao Hourai himself.

However, if it was exposed this far, escaping was meaningless.

More than the police, a gift user’s power was immense.

“—Agh!”

“Guah!?”

While climbing the slope to the surface, a strong impact hit from the side, and Kobayakawa slammed into the wall.

“What… who…?”

“No grudge, but I have to do it.”

“Haa, haa… Yagi?”

When Kobayakawa managed to free himself, a small girl wearing a black goat mask stood there. However, she wore a dress below her neck.

She held nothing in her hands. The black goat girl was barehanded.

“Gu, guoooooo!!”

In that moment, his suit tore, his body rapidly expanded, and gray fur grew.

His mouth elongated, sharp fangs appeared, and his ears transformed into large dog-like ones—

“—Wolf-san?”

“Haa, haa… If I can just get to a place with the moon…!”

Before her stood Kobayakawa, now over two meters tall.

He looked exactly like a werewolf. His glowing yellow eyes glared at the black goat girl.

“Get out of my way!!”

Kobayakawa kicked the ground hard, rushing past the black goat girl.

“…?”

But the black goat girl did nothing, letting him pass.

Though Kobayakawa found it strange, he finally got outside.

Fortunately, it was a full moon that day.

For Kobayakawa, who had the gift of Wolf, it was the day in a month when he could exert the most power.

And no wonder. Kobayakawa himself had suggested holding the appreciation party on the full moon.

“Awooooo!!”

His inner wolf blood burned, and his body expanded further.

His massive frame easily exceeded three meters.

Kobayakawa jumped high, moving to a wide grassy park in front.

Then he waited.

“—Oh, he got bigger.”

“You! Where did you come from!”

Kobayakawa was startled by the black goat girl suddenly appearing behind him.

The size difference between them was like an adult and a newborn baby.

“Didn’t want to destroy the parking lot, so outside was better.”

“I see… but I can’t end here!!”

Kobayakawa ran, circling around the black goat girl.

An ordinary person couldn’t follow his movements.

“—!!”

Kobayakawa, now behind her, slashed with sharp claws.

One hit could cause more than a severe injury—it could be fatal.

But no one could defeat the black goat girl.

Even a giant werewolf became just an ant.

“Gu, guaaaaa!?”

He attacked, but in the next moment, all his right hand’s fingers were gone.

Blood poured from his fingers, and Kobayakawa collapsed on the spot.

“Give up?”

“Not yet!!”

He attacked from the front with his left hand’s claws—but the result was the same.

His fingers were gone, claws peeled off, and both hands became useless.

The black goat girl didn’t do anything.

She simply used her gift of Reflection, doubling the opponent’s attack back.

“Who are you!?”

In pain, he swung his remaining right leg, aiming for the black goat girl’s head.

That scream was Kobayakawa’s last.

His right foot blew off, scattering blood on the grass.

“…Wolf-san’s mask, maybe nice.”

◇ ◇ ◇

“—Kurebayashi-san!!”

“Ah… Takanashi-kun?”

“Here, wear this!”

In the underground parking lot, Hiroyo Takanashi came to Nagisa, who was watching Yakushiji until the police and others arrived.

Hiroyo took off his suit jacket and put it on Nagisa.

“Thank you… but the smell…”

“Probably, your gift can handle it, right? But even if not, it’s fine. That state is bad for my eyes…”

“…Then, I’ll take it.”

Nagisa put her arms through the jacket’s sleeves and buttoned it up.

This covered the holes in her dress.

“And… maybe later, but can you make time?”

“Huh… could that be—”

Nagisa recalled words Hiroyo said earlier.

“I haven’t confirmed it yet. So, I want to use my gift to confirm it.”

“Why… that?”

“You seemed troubled… is that not okay?”

“But I haven’t done anything to you…”

It was always like this.

Hiroyo and his group basically solved people’s problems for free. This time was no different.

They just wanted to solve Nagisa Kurebayashi’s troubles out of pure goodwill.

“I’m your fan.”

“…Is it okay to have hope?”

Nagisa tightly gripped the jacket’s hem.

“I don’t know. But… I’d be happy to give you hope.”

“Then, I trust you, Takanashi-kun… let’s do this.”

They exchanged contact info, and later, with Hibiki, they would check if Hiroyo could solve Nagisa’s troubles.

Meanwhile, Koji Kobayakawa, vice president of Treasure Next, and driver Akira Yakushiji were arrested as the main culprits of the incident.

In the adventurer industry, Treasure Next was a huge company everyone knew, so the incident sent shockwaves through the industry.

President Takao Hourai was detoxified by a high-level healer and quickly returned.

He was saddened learning what Kobayakawa planned but reformed the organization with firm resolve to fill the vice president’s vacancy.

His daughter, Midori Hourai, later thanked Hiroyo and the others profusely, bowing deeply.

However, she never learned her life had been targeted in the past.

Thus, the attempted assassination of Treasure Next’s president at the appreciation party came to a close, and the day for Nagisa Kurebayashi and Hiroyo Takanashi to meet arrived—.
