Chapter 104

Then he slowly straightened up and sheathed the sword at his waist, the sharp and ominous demonic blade—the murderous sword, Snow Shadow.

It is said that the sword is a demonic sword passed down through the Tendo Family, a blade that will drag those with wavering hearts down the path of destruction, but no wavering will can be seen in Kisara.

Clearly, this demonic sword could not sway Kisara, or rather, her madness and obsession had long since corrupted her into a demon, even enough to make the demonic sword submit.

"Yes."

Mahiro stood up and casually tossed it to Kisara.

Having needed to concentrate intensely for that attack, Kisara, exhausted, said "thank you" and took the towel to wipe his face.

"To be honest, that sword-drawing technique you just used was really beautiful, President."

"Don't call me president outside of work hours, just call me Kisara."

Kisara raised his chin, put on a stern face, and stared at him. "But no matter how beautiful your sword-drawing technique is, once it's seen by your eyes, Mahiro- kun, it will be completely absorbed, won't it?"

"This is really convenient..."

Towards the end, she couldn't help but mutter to herself.

But Mahiro shook his head and said, "You can't compare to me, Kisara- san. I'm just a clumsy imitator, while you are the real deal, honing your martial arts skills bit by bit with hard work and sweat. In terms of comprehension and understanding, I definitely can't compare to you."

"Certainly."

Kisara chuckled with obvious delight, gathering the hair that had fallen onto his neck.

"No matter what, I am the ' Menkyo All Tendo-style Iaijutsu."

Perhaps because the worlds are different, the classification of swordsmanship levels is also different. In the world of The Irregular at Magical Land, it is divided into "Menkyo" and "Kaiden", while in this world, they are combined into one.

"So, Menkyo 'Mr. 'Mr.', what have you thought about the matter we discussed before?'"

Upon hearing his question, Kisara's delicate body trembled slightly, and she froze.

After hastily wiping the sweat from his neck, he loosened his long hair, let it fall loose, and turned to ask seriously:

"... Are you going to start taking action?"

"More or less."

Mahiro shrugged and said truthfully, "There's not much time left."

The ring's energy is almost full, which means his journey in this world is coming to an end.

"Yeah..."

Silently nodding, Kisara murmured softly, as if deep in thought, before raising his head and speaking in such a serious tone for the first time:

"Mahiro- kun... no, Yotsuba Mahiro- sama, do you really intend to overthrow and destroy the Tendo Family?"

"Of course." Mahiro, unusually, did not joke and even put away his smile. He replied with the same serious attitude, "In essence, I have no hatred for the Tendo Family, but for those children, for those children who have died, I must kill Tendo Kikunojo."

And this is just my first step.

Next, I will destroy the world.

"!!!"

That's no joke!

Kisara could clearly feel that strong will, just like his own determination to take revenge on the Tendo Family —a dark and terrifying unwavering belief!

That's why she stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

This was perhaps the first time in a year that she had truly seen this man's true face; hidden beneath his kind and beautiful exterior was an endless darkness capable of devouring anyone.

It was even more intense and terrifying than hers, as if it could burn everything to ashes!

If he is merely a vengeful spirit, then this man is Demon King embodied in the belief of revenge!

"Then... what will you do after you destroy the world?"

Even though she had no such thought, she couldn't help but ask the question.

"It's simple, I will leave this world with those children."

Mahiro was very honest and told the other person everything without reservation.

"As you can see, I am not from this world. So if you accept my conditions, the final result will be that you will become one of mine, and I will take you away with me."

You might think of me as a madman, a mental patient, but that's the truth.

Whether you believe it or not is entirely up to you.

"... I believe you."

Just as Mahiro said, Kisara her understanding, was telling her that this man was talking nonsense and was mentally unstable.

What? You're not from this world? Or are you from another world?

But the current reality has created too many impossibilities, forcing her to believe.

Just like those eyes that can mimic any move, and that time with Scorpio, holding that strangely shaped pistol, he easily annihilated Hiruko Kagetane and the mechanical soldiers of the Five Wings Society by simply pulling the trigger, turning them into ashes.

In the end, it caused the ocean to sink, demonstrating a power capable of freezing everything, and destroyed Scorpio.

These things seem too surreal, completely beyond the comprehension and values of normal people.

Therefore, she had no choice but to believe it.

"So, Kisara, what is your answer?"

What will happen if I refuse?

"Nothing will happen. We'll just become enemies, and I won't give my enemies a second chance."

"..."

Kisara pursed her lips slightly.

She didn't find anything wrong with Mahiro's words at all; on the contrary, she found them quite straightforward.

They're either allies or enemies.

That person's belief was far stronger than hers.

But...

"May I ask a question before I answer?"

"Excuse me."

"What would happen if Satomi stood in front of the Tendo Family and blocked your way?"

She didn't care what the world was like.

The only person she could truly care about was Rentaro Satomi.

After all, no matter what, she had been with her for many years, and had helped her escape from the Tendo Family and run away to start a police company... not to mention that Rentaro Satomi had once saved her life.

"He will die, without a doubt."

As soon as the words were spoken, a morning breeze blew into the temple and brushed between the two of them.

Despite it being summer, a chill ran down my spine.

Kisara couldn't help but give a wry smile upon hearing this.

"Really..."

Kisara is not stupid.

Actually, she had already guessed the answer the moment she asked the question.

Because she knew very well that even without Yotsuba Mahiro's existence... when she was about to wield the sword of revenge against the Tendo Family and cut off their heads, Rentaro Satomi would definitely stand up to stop her.

Although Tendo Kikunojo Rentaro Satomi, he was always groomed to be Kikunojo's successor.

Perhaps based on this, Rentaro Satomi felt a strange sense of gratitude towards Tendo Kikunojo...

And she could feel it herself.

If he continues to harbor thoughts of revenge and refuses to turn back, one day Rentaro Satomi will stand in front of the Tendo Family and take his life.

It's somewhat poignant, and also quite sad.

"Now, what's your answer?"

As the words fell, the dojo returned to its boundless, deathly silence.

Kisara Tendo's answer was naturally affirmative.

She eventually accepted Mahiro's invitation, but on one condition—

If Rentaro Satomi really stands in their way, then let her deal with it herself.

Mahiro had no reason to refuse; if he could, he would like to witness this love-hate relationship drama.

Not to mention, the one who died was that cowardly, sanctimonious hypocrite.

As for why it's said that Rentaro Satomi must be the one who dies?

Because he injected Kisara with AVG Serum produced by Sumire Muroto.

Amidst the tearing and burning pain, Kisara Tendo was reborn, gaining even greater strength, speed, and regenerative abilities.

Now, she is fully qualified to raise the blade of revenge against the Tendo Family.

However, the matter of revenge will have to wait for a couple more days.

Because the outcome of his bet with the Seitenshi was about to be decided.

Knock knock.

"Please come in."

With a creak, a young girl walked in.

The first thing that catches the eye is a pair of legs that are less slender and more too thin.

Looking up, the other person's limbs were so slender they seemed easily broken.

She wore denim shorts with a pink tank top, topped with an American Apparel jacket, and sported a bob haircut over her serious face.

But what's most unforgettable is her icy, aloof demeanor.

"Oh, Hime, what brings you here all of a sudden?" Mahiro was helping Kayo with some paperwork while enjoying tea being served by Asaka, looking like a local tyrant at first glance.

But as the door opened, they all turned their gaze to the girl.

The girl's full name is Koro Hotaru. She possesses a rare Oriental planarian factor, which he found when he was collecting Cursed Children in the Area 18.

When they met, Koro Hotaru was removing a bullet from herself, apparently having been shot somewhere.

He happened to bring them back to Arcadia.

It has to be said, this Gastrea Virus is truly amazing; it can even integrate the genes of such a tiny and ancient organism as a planarian...

I wonder if there are any American cockroaches, or perhaps some round-headed old man who likes to breathe on riddles?

I don't think so.

After all, this isn't Terra.

"Mr. Mahiro, His Majesty the Seitenshi Emperor will arrive in Arcadia in five minutes."

Just as he was lost in thought, Koro Hotaru spoke truthfully.

"Okay, I understand, I'll be right there."

Kayo was left in his office, while Xiao Asaka followed him like a servant, leaving with Koro Hotaru.

Judging by the timing, the Seitenshi should indeed be arriving soon.

After all, there were less than two days left before the Monolith collapsed, and the huge whitening marks could no longer be completely concealed.

Although he hasn't been to downtown Tokyo Area during this time, he imagines it must have descended into chaos.

After all, even Miori Shiba has officially settled in Arcadia.

As he stepped out of the office building, the familiar luxury limousine drove into Arcadia's gates.

Under the watchful eyes of a group of children, a beautiful young woman dressed in a white gown that resembled a wedding dress opened the car door.
