Muroto Sumire: Now It's My Turn (5.7K)

But just then, she suddenly heard the sound of a trigger being pulled.

The Seitenshi suddenly looked up and saw Yotsuba Mahiro standing there, pulling out that strange pistol and pointing it at the two people who hadn't left yet, and expressionlessly pulling the trigger.

In just a moment, the two people seemed to have experienced something extremely painful.

It was as if water was being forcibly evaporated; steam kept rising from his body as he struggled.

But it couldn't make a sound at all.

Slowly, it knelt on the ground, slowly lost its struggle, and slowly died in agony.

When Yotsuba Mahiro the trigger a second time, the two desiccated corpses turned into tiny dust particles, which dispersed with the breeze.

"I didn't expect the 'Burst' magic of the Ichijo Family to be so useful."

As he spoke, he disregarded the pale-faced Seitenshi and approached the blind girl.

"Little sister, let me ask you a question, do you know Arcadia?"

"You mean... the shelter established in District 39? I know about it; I've heard about it from my comrades."

"Then why don't you go? If you went, you wouldn't have to keep begging."

However, the girl shook her head and said, "Big brother, it's not that I don't want to go, but I can't... I'm blind, I can't do anything, and I have a younger sister who's also quite young. If I go, I'll just be a burden to her, so I can't go."

Hearing the girl say this, even he, who had witnessed countless tragedies Cursed Children, couldn't help but sigh.

How could anyone dislike such an obedient and sensible girl?

What's wrong with red eyes?

They weren't the ones who killed your family and friends. If you're so capable, go outside the Monolith and find the Gastrea to take revenge!

What kind of skill is it to bully a group of little girls!

His feelings of disgust towards these humans grew stronger.

At the same time, I feel saddened by the girl's plight.

Because he couldn't help the girl restore her eyesight, and because the limit Shiba Tatsuya could achieve by covering the intelligence body's resume was 24 hours, while his current limit was 48 hours.

But this girl has been blind for a long time...

"It's alright. Even if you can't do anything, even if you go blind, believe me, the gates of Arcadia will still be open to you."

After saying that, he stood up and made a phone call to Kayo.

"Big brother, who are you...?"

"I am the leader of Arcadia, my name is Yotsuba Mahiro, you can call me Mahiro)."

He gently stroked the girl's hair.

Soon after, Tina and her sisters arrived at the overpass where he was, took the girl away, and went to pick up the girl's sisters.

The Seitenshi remained crouched throughout, staring at the pull ring in the bowl, seemingly lost in thought.

"Alright, stop being so downcast. This is reality. A reality that you, in your high position, can't see."

Mahiro's words caused the Seitenshi to purse his lips slightly.

She took a deep breath and exhaled.

He raised his head and looked at Yotsuba Mahiro again, and asked:

"... Mr Mahiro, what should I do? Please teach me."

Chapter 87 Sumire Muroto: Now, it's my turn (5.7K)

What should I do?

Loyalty, of course!

Follow him, become his supporter, and watch him drag these people out and shoot them one by one!

There is no other choice!!

The Seitenshi would naturally not do that.

However, since that day, the Seitenshi has never come to see him again, nor has he ever gone to Arcadia, although he occasionally sends people to deliver some supplies there.

Furthermore, there have been some subtle changes in his style of doing things.

He began to disregard everyone's objections, and his methods became more forceful.

First, the police inspector and his son were fired, and then they were sent to jail with only a small amount of evidence that was hardly enough to convict them.

Immediately afterwards, they tried to forcefully push through the Gastrea New Law.

His attitude was so forceful that even Tendo Kikunojo as his assistant, could no longer remain silent.

Although he was pleased with the growth of the Seitenshi, after all, he had watched the child grow up with his own eyes, he was very dissatisfied with the things the child had done.

Therefore, disregarding his own position, he argued with the Seitenshi several times.

It's a pity--

"This world has long since become a cesspool; there's no question about what you do anymore..."

During this time, life suddenly returned to its usual tranquility.

Not only the Seitenshi, but even Kisara fell silent.

Thus, Yotsuba Mahiro began to embark on a grand and ambitious undertaking.

First, Enju Aihara transferred to Arcadia, and then he brought all the children scattered around the Tokyo Area into Arcadia. Even when Miori Shiba was helping to build Arcadia's infrastructure, she secretly moved some of her businesses there.

As the territory gradually expanded and he occupied the entire District 39, he no longer hid the kingdom of the Cursed Children, exposing it completely to the world's view.

For this reason, the IISO organization visited him several times, intending to discuss the issue of the distribution of the Cursed Children.

But each time, they returned empty-handed.

Neither the allure of rankings nor the coercion of inhibitor control have any effect on him anymore.

All of this is thanks to Dr. Sumire Muroto.

One day, Sumire Muroto moved from the basement to Arcadia.

Enhancement agents made using Stage 5 Gastrea Virus and inhibitor serums that can permanently stop the increase in erosion rate have been developed.

"Is this it?"

Mahiro picked up one of the many small syringes laid out in front of him, his eyes fixed on the bright red liquid inside, which resembled blood.

"That's right."

Sumire Muroto gave birth to a demon in front of him, revealing her graceful figure beneath her white coat without any hesitation.

You could even see her fair waist and her playful belly button peeking out as she stretched out.

Only after a moment did he lower his hands.

"I named it the AGV Experimental Drug, and its effects can fully achieve the results you want."

Of course, he couldn't just listen to what Sumire Muroto said; he also analyzed it himself with his own eyes.

The simulation results were indeed as Sumire Muroto had predicted.

It can not only dramatically increase a person's Regrowth ability and comprehensively improve physical fitness, but also cure all diseases.

This exaggerated effect can even temporarily protect against the magnetic field radiation of holmium.

However, the drawbacks remain obvious.

The possibility of Gastrea still exists; it's a huge flaw that can't be overcome no matter what.

"A success rate of 98.74%... But that's impressive enough, Dr. Sumire. It's the kind of success that will go down in history."

Mahiro praised without reservation.

"Now that you know, you'd better treat me with the utmost respect from now on."

Sumire Muroto leaned against the table, her two legs, clad in black stockings, crossed and swaying lightly, the tips of her slender high heels drawing alluring arcs.

"Well, although you certainly deserve a lot of credit for it, young man."

Hearing this, Mahiro curiously raised his head.

Meeting the doctor's gaze, she then spoke calmly:

"It's the Scorpio blood sample you brought back, which contains the most primitive and original Gastrea Virus sample. By decoding the fragments and combining it with the Scorpio girl you brought back, and comparing her blood with the DNA profiles and chromosome numbers of other children, I discovered the differences..."

I can't understand Korean at all.

Sumire Muroto launched into a long, rambling explanation of technical terms that would sound like gibberish to liberal arts students and leave even science students dizzy.

Sumire Muroto noticed this too, but she didn't stop, as if she were teasing him.

Only at the very end did he change his tone.

"That's about it. It's okay if you don't understand. Just remember my reward, young man."

The map of the Yan Kingdom has finally been completed, revealing the true nature of the situation.

He knew he couldn't avoid it, and since he had no intention of doing so, he didn't pretend to be stupid.

Instead, he stated directly, "I'll inspect the goods first, and then we'll talk about payment."

After saying that, right under Sumire Muroto's nose, he picked up a syringe, inserted it into his arm, and injected the medicine.

"That's quite bold, young man."

His decisiveness surprised Sumire Muroto somewhat, but Mahiro smiled slightly and said:

"What does it matter? At worst, I'll just turn into Gastrea and eat you up in one bite."

"That's not bad either~ Could it be considered a new type of double suicide?"

Before Sumire Muroto could finish speaking, Yotsuba Mahiro's smile vanished, and his expression changed drastically!

Pain!

A pain that penetrates to the bone marrow and to the very soul!

It's even more painful than tracing back an intelligence agency's resume and overwriting it!!!

His heart was pounding so hard he could clearly hear the echoing beat in his chest.

He seemed to hear the sound of waves crashing against his veins.

His limbs, and indeed his entire body, seemed to be expanding, and his brain seemed to be being torn apart!

It was as if I was soaked in gasoline and then set on fire, and my whole body, even every cell in my body, seemed to be burning!

The medicine was anything but mild; it was nothing short of violent.

If he could speak and think now, he'd definitely have to make a sarcastic remark—

"Is this even for human use?! Won't it hurt like hell?!"

But he didn't notice that his eyes had turned crimson, as vivid as the eyes of the Cursed Children, or even more vivid.

However, the pain came and went quickly, lasting for about ten seconds before disappearing.

Instead, relaxation and enjoyment follow.

He slumped in the chair, his whole body soaked in sweat, looking as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

"Ha... this is really bad..."

Although it was very painful, the effect was also remarkable. He found that the power within his body seemed to have increased significantly, as if he had completely broken through the limits of humanity.

My mind was completely clear, and I felt a sense of comfort I had never experienced before.

"It seems the experiment was a success... What a pity, we can't commit suicide together now."

He first heard these seemingly joking words.

Immediately afterwards, he heard a rustling sound. Mahiro opened his eyes and saw that Sumire Muroto had appeared in front of him without him noticing.

The white coat she was wearing had fallen to the ground.

She was only wearing a thin, dark purple shirt that revealed her figure and a narrow-cut pencil skirt that showed off the beauty of her legs in black pantyhose. She walked gracefully toward him in black high heels.
