Lady Seitenshi, Would You Dare to Bet on Human Nature? (5.2K)

First, there is his power, which has already surpassed that of the Cursed Children within Arcadia, possessing the Leaf Ant Factor, a specialized power-type ability.

As for speed, just like before, Aihara Enju, the fastest Cursed Children, is no match for him at all.

In addition, brain development, or rather, his computing power, has also been significantly enhanced in all aspects.

At least, like last time when we pulled a meteorite down from Earth's outer orbit, we wouldn't feel so tired anymore.

Then comes the analysis of the Philosopher's Stone Transmutation Formula --

From the previous progress of 32%, it broke through to 60% in one go.

Previously, he could only transform metals, such as turning substances into gold or rare metals like holmium.

But now... the scope has expanded. He is able to reproduce the AVG Serum developed by Sumire Muroto, as well as a potent inhibitor that can perfectly suppress Gastrea Virus, all by his own power.

That's terrifying.

He's practically a walking philosopher's stone now, isn't he?

Moreover, this is only slightly more than halfway through the analysis process. If it reaches 100%, to what extent can it achieve this?

Creating things out of thin air?

Or creation?

Or perhaps, like that green-haired character in A Certain Magical Index, someone who can make their wishes come true?

Yotsuba Mahiro no longer dared to imagine it.

Chapter 88 Your Seitenshi, are you willing to gamble with humanity? (5.2K)

Time passed day by day, spring ended, and summer quietly arrived.

Although this summer in Tokyo Area wasn't as hot as in previous years, but rather unusually cool, the atmosphere on the streets felt strangely oppressive.

This is because the Seitenshi's "Gastrea New Law" successfully overcame all dissent, introduced the bill with an unprecedentedly tough stance, and was officially implemented.

Those Cursed Children were given appropriate protection and human rights.

Many people have been privately cursing the Seitenshi as a dictator, and some have even begun to question his identity, wondering if he is in league with the Seitenshi Cursed Children.

Was it also transformed from that damned Gastrea?

Numerous rumors have spread in the Tokyo Area and throughout Japan.

"That's something we can do."

Looking at the headline in bold black ink on the newspaper—"The Iron-Blooded Dictator of Tokyo Area — The Seitenshi" —Mahiro's lips curled into a slight smile.

Sure enough, he hadn't misjudged him.

If the Seitenshi wanted to do it, he could still do it.

On the other hand, Rentaro Satomi was finally discharged from the hospital after a long time.

However, only Kisara Tendo was there to pick him up from the hospital; Yotsuba Mahiro was currently in Arcadia, helping Kayo organize documents.

While we're at it, let's do some basic planning for Arcadia.

With the ever-growing sanctuary at his disposal, he now has almost no energy left to go to the office.

During the day, she helps Kayo, and at night she has to work with the doctor in the lab, so she doesn't even have much time to sleep.

It's also thanks to my resilient body.

After finally finishing all these things, I managed to get myself a vacation and go home. I was just lying in bed, ready to get a good night's sleep when...

Then another phone call came in.

"... It's been a long time since I last sent my regards, Mahiro, sir."

Yes, the familiar greeting, the same old formula.

"Your Majesty the Seitenshi... Congratulations! You've finally developed some semblance of composure to stand firm in this messed-up world."

Mahiro said casually while yawning.

"Mr. Mahiro, are you mocking me?"

"How could that be? No, not at all. On the contrary... I'm quite relieved."

The once pure and innocent girl, with his help, finally fell into the mortal world and was tainted by different colors.

"Alright, let's not talk about that for now. I'm sure His Seitenshi didn't call specifically to listen to me flattering him. So, what's the matter?"

The person on the other end of the phone gave a soft "hmm," and then after a long pause, it seemed as if they were calming down or organizing their thoughts.

After a long while, the sound came again.

"Where are you now, Mr. Mahiro?"

"I'm at home, getting ready for bed... Why don't you tell me what's wrong first?"

"Alright, Mr. Mahiro. There is a critical situation right now that concerns the survival of the nation, so I need to trouble you."

Please allow me to refuse.

"Huh?... No, wait, I haven't said anything yet!"

Mahiro's quick answer, almost without thinking, left the Seitenshi astonished and even a little flustered.

"Please don't refuse so quickly!"

"But it can't be anything good, can it? It's a matter of life and death for the nation, so it's even more troublesome. Your Seitenshi, have you forgotten what I told you before?"

"I remember... but... even so, I still want you to hear my entire explanation before making a decision."

He originally wanted to say, "I'm not listening, it's like a turtle chanting scriptures," but before he could say it, the other side said again:

"... I'm heading to your apartment right away, Mr. Mahiro. You can't refuse now."

After saying that, the phone was hung up.

That's quite a tough stance, even showing a hint of girlish capriciousness.

"However, considering this is the first time I've been so willful, I'll just listen to it for now."

Mahiro sat up in bed, got dressed, and went out of the apartment to greet her.

After all, he is the head of state, and he came to visit in person, so we have to give him some face.

However, as soon as he went downstairs, he felt a chill on his face.

"Is it raining?"

Looking up, I saw that the sky, which had been sunny not long ago, was now covered with dark clouds, and a light drizzle was falling from the sky.

He waited at the building entrance for a long time, but the extended luxury limousine from Holy Residence never arrived.

Instead, in the increasingly heavy rain, he saw a white figure running towards him from a distance.

"... The Seitenshi???"

That's right, it's the Seitenshi.

He ran alone in the rain, without bodyguards or his usual luxury limousine, and arrived at his apartment building.

It might even be because she doesn't exercise often, and because she was wearing high heels, that she accidentally stepped on the edge of a small pebble, slipped, and fell.

Fortunately, Mahiro appeared in time and caught her, experiencing the elastic and soft touch.

"Ah... I'm sorry."

The Seitenshi raised his head, and his moist eyes met Mahiro's. Strands of his snow-white hair clung to his face, making him look less holy and more pitiful.

Not to mention that she was completely soaked at the moment, and the white dress did nothing to cover her up; instead, it revealed the color of her skin.

Yes, the inside is also pure white.

"My dear Seitenshi Emperor, what are you doing?"

Mahiro looked away and gently helped her up, opening his umbrella to keep the rain out.

Then, she used magic to carefully evaporate the rainwater off the Seitenshi to prevent her from catching a cold.

"How amazing..."

The Seitenshi blinked in surprise, watching as the white silk gloves on his hands gradually became clean, and clearly feeling a warmth spreading through his body.

"Is this magic?"

"Yeah, you think it's fun?"

"..."

The Seitenshi seemed to instinctively want to nod, but quickly stopped himself, his face instantly turning red with embarrassment.

Her already pale complexion was now flushed with a faint blush, making her incredibly alluring.

Seeing her like this, Mahiro couldn't help but smile and say, "Never mind, let's go upstairs first."

Although it was a bit bumpy, they managed to meet the Seitenshi and bring her home.

However, when he inquired about what had happened, the Seitenshi's answer amused him.

"You mean not only did the limousine break down on the way, but it also got caught in a downpour shortly after it left, and since you didn't have an umbrella, you had to run all the way here?"

Mahiro looked at the Seitenshi, who nodded in agreement, with a strange expression, and then burst out laughing.

"Hey you, don't you know how to buy an umbrella at a roadside shop? Or you could find somewhere to shelter from the rain and wait for me to come find you."

"You're out there all alone, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

"... Because the situation was urgent, I accidentally forgot... Also, please stop laughing, okay?"

"Alright, alright, I won't laugh anymore. Since it's so urgent, let's talk about it."

Even with this answer, the Seitenshi still stared at him with resentment in his eyes.

However, she curiously looked around his house as if searching for something, and finally her gaze unexpectedly landed on the bathroom.

"... Excuse me, Mr. Mahiro. Before that, may I use your bathroom?"

"Please feel free to take a bath." Mahiro did not refuse.

Although they helped dry her off, she was still a bit dirty, especially her pure white skirt, which was covered in mud.

"Well, excuse me..."

The Seitenshi got up and hurriedly entered the bathroom.

To be honest, the Seitenshi's change of heart was somewhat beyond his expectations.

In his memory, the Seitenshi's initial image was that of a holy maiden, as pure as an angel descended to earth. But now, compared to that purity, she seemed more like a sixteen-year-old girl.

She's clumsy to the point of being endearing, yet she can't let go of her airs and reserve.

However, just as he was pondering these changes, the rustling sound of clothes rubbing together suddenly came from the closed dressing room.

He instinctively turned his head and saw a silhouette reflected in the frosted glass.

A dress slipped down to her feet, and through the glass, her slender, graceful figure was revealed—a figure so delicate it made one's mouth water.

To be honest... even though frosted glass can obstruct vision, Mahiro can still automatically reconstruct the blurry image from its original form in his mind, even without activating "Multiple Observation".

In the silhouette of the changing room door in front of the bathroom, a bra slipped to the floor, and then panties were pulled down from those long, beautiful legs.

Then her figure completely disappeared, followed by the sound of a shower.

"Tsk..."

Having watched the show unfold, Mahiro withdrew his gaze.

About twenty minutes later, the Seitenshi finished his bath.

She had already thrown all her clothes into the washing machine, so she was currently wearing Mahiro's shirt.

After all, besides his clothes, the only other clothes in the house were those of Xiao Asaka and Xiao Aihara Enju, and it was obvious that the Seitenshi's size couldn't fit them at all.

Fortunately, the shirt he was wearing, which was over 1.8 meters tall, looked like a dress on the Seitenshi.

But...

"... I have a feeling that something..."

The Seitenshi slowly opened the bathroom door, and amidst the hazy warmth, he couldn't help but shyly hug himself.
