After last night's events, you realized that Honkai had arrived.
You convinced your father to give up his plans to continue practicing medicine. After all, drugs that could suppress Honkai could not be developed in an ordinary clinic.
You noticed that Pardo had recently been staring at you and grinning foolishly.
At seventeen, a girl came looking for you and invited you to join her grand plan.
"Youth with mysterious powers, join me in exposing the true face of an evil organization and defending world peace!"
Watching the girl before him wave her arms about and speak in an exaggerated tone, Yoshikage Kira closed the door.
But the girl did not seem willing to give up and continued knocking on the door. "Hey, open up."
He poured a glass of water and handed it to the girl across from him. She accepted it and said thank you.
Yoshikage Kira sat across from her, tapping his fingers against the table. "So what is your objective?"
The girl set down her cup and solemnly said, "Please save the world with me!"
Yoshikage Kira raised an eyebrow slightly. "Then why did you come to me?"
"Because you're strong." With that, the girl took out her phone and played a video. It showed Yoshikage Kira using Killer Queen to save Pardo.
But Yoshikage Kira was not flustered, because he knew that the girl before him, Vill-V, would not spread the video around.
If it were Yoshikage Kira, he definitely wouldn't indulge Vill-V's nonsense, would he?
But I need to. I need her to help me maintain myself, to preserve what little humanity I have left.
Once a mask has been worn for too long, it can no longer be taken off. But I still have a chance.
I'm only playing a role. I'm not the real Yoshikage Kira.
Besides, deleting that video is also part of maintaining an ordinary life.
Yoshikage Kira convinced himself internally, and in the end, He Cheng-rui's thoughts prevailed.
Thus, Yoshikage Kira straightened up and calmly said, "I'll assist you. Once this is over, please delete that video."
The girl before him found Yoshikage Kira's words very strange. She had been prepared to argue with the blond boy for a long time, but he had agreed so easily?
Just like my investigation showed, he's an absolutely good person! Vill-V thought, a smile appearing on her face.
"Excellent! I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Then please take care of me from now on, Assistant~?"
Vill-V had witnessed the power of your Stand. After investigating, she reached the same conclusion Pardo had once reached.
You, Yoshikage Kira, were an exceptionally good person.
To preserve your humanity, you agreed to indulge Vill-V's nonsense.
You sent your father away from Twilight Town and told Pardo that you had found a job.
Having lost her job, Pardo returned to her old trade. The phantom thief had returned.
Vill-V told you that she believed the recent string of unusual incidents was connected to an organization called Flame Chasers.
She dragged you along to investigate Flame Chasers.
But with Vill-V's genius battle plans and her miraculous inventions, you had no opportunity to contribute throughout the entire process. You were quite satisfied with that.
You knew this incident was a misunderstanding, but you still did your duty—taking care of Vill-V's daily needs.
"Mmm~, Kira, your cooking really is excellent. It seems I still have a lot to learn."
She means Hundred Flavors, right? Yoshikage Kira thought as he listened to the girl before him.
Vill-V, engineering consultant of the Thirteen Flame-Moth Heroes, creator of the Divine Keys, youngest master of Spiral Workshop, King of Magic of the Twilight Era. A technical talent specializing in mechanics.
She had split her personality into eight parts, each handling a different job.
"Hey, Assistant! I've come up with another brilliant idea! Next time, we'll definitely expose Flame Chasers, that evil organization, for what it really is."
The "Magician" braced both hands on the table, leaned forward, and stared excitedly at Yoshikage Kira.
"Don't make loud noises while eating." Yoshikage Kira frowned. Too close, he thought.
After three months together, Vill-V had come to trust you unconditionally. Geniuses were always lonely, and it could not be denied that you were the only person who had gotten this close to Vill-V. She enjoyed being with you, and feelings she had never experienced before began to grow in the girl's heart.
But to you, these three months had felt more like raising a daughter.
Just like raising Pardo.
There's still a kitten at home waiting for me to feed her, Yoshikage Kira thought as he washed Vill-V's dishes.
"Then, Miss Vill-V, I'll take my leave for today."
"Osu, see you tomorrow, Assistant!"
"Meow."
"Boss, you're back!"
Seeing the girl holding a cat by the entryway, Yoshikage Kira's lips curled up slightly.
"Yes, I'm back."
"Hmm?~ Excuse me, sir, do you know where today's magic show is being held?"
Yoshikage Kira paused as he looked at the playful pink-haired girl before him, then said:
"Of course. Would you like me to show you the way?"
Before you continue
