A Threat from Kensei Kanase

After all.

For Yuuma Sengakuji, Yotsuba Mahiro's existence was a ray of light illuminating her dark life.

Therefore, Asagi didn't say much, nor did she try to cover up. Since she had already been seen, she quickly changed into her competition outfit, grabbed her bag, and hurriedly left the classroom.

The classroom was empty again. Smelling the sweet, youthful scent lingering in the air, Mahiro chin on her hand, gazing at the azure sky outside the window, and couldn't help but sigh:

"What a terrible thing..."

Chapter 381 The Threat from Kanase Kensei (5.1K)

In the end, Mahiro still went to watch Yuuma Sengakuji and Asagi's match.

But it was just a glance. Just as planned, I went over to show my face, check in, and cheer them on.

Then he let the two women freely sweat it out on the field.

He chose to leave quietly.

Walking through the quiet campus, feeling the sunlight filtering through the leaves and casting shadows, Mahiro a sense of comfort.

It seems that ever since the Black Death Emperor Faction incident, which led to Koyomi Himgari's downfall, the frequency of Yukina's surveillance has decreased considerably.

The little girl who used to follow him everywhere has recently started participating in school activities occasionally.

It's unclear whether this was Koyomi Himgari's order or whether Yukina her rigid and inflexible mind, figured it out on her own.

It's highly likely the former.

He didn't have high hopes for Yukina...

Just as he was enjoying this moment of peace, a soft, whimpering sound suddenly caught his attention.

Faintly, a soft girl's voice could be heard again.

"Ah... wait..."

Mahiro looked over and saw a familiar girl's figure emerging from the nearest flower bed and bushes.

The girl was wearing the school uniform of the Saikai Academy.

Seemingly to avoid being scratched by trees, she wore a black turtleneck long-sleeved top under her cool school uniform.

Beneath the short skirt, a pair of long, slender legs, tightly encased in black pantyhose, were revealed.

She slowly stood up from the bushes, holding a small black kitten in her arms.

Bathed in sunlight, the girl seemed to shimmer with a soft glow.

The swaying of her hair softened her facial features even more.

"Kanon Kanase?"

Mahiro involuntarily called out the girl's name.

The girl who was called paused slightly, and when she looked up and saw Mahiro's figure, her pale blue eyes, like those of a glacier, shone with joy.

"Brother Mahiro!"

Kanon Kanase held the cat in one arm and waved happily at him.

Compared to the silver-haired loli of a few years ago, Xia Kanon Kanase has grown up a lot. She has matured and shed some of her childishness, making her look even more radiant and dazzling.

When Mahiro walked over, Kanon Kanase had already come out of the flower bed carrying the cat.

"Brother Mahiro, please wait a moment."

As she spoke, she knelt down again and opened the handbag that was placed at her feet.

However, the bag contained more than just textbooks for school; it also included a milk jug for the cat, cat food, and toys.

Mahiro's eyes twitched slightly as she watched.

He knew that Kanon Kanase had adopted many stray cats and housed them in an abandoned monastery behind the school.

They also knew that Kanon Kanase cared a lot about those little ones.

But isn't this taking it a bit too seriously?

Perhaps it was his overly direct gaze that caused Kanon Kanase's face to flush slightly. While feeding the kitten in her arms, she explained softly:

"Mahiro... these, these were bought with the money I earned from my after-school job, not with Mahiro money you gave me..."

As soon as she finished speaking, a karate chop landed lightly on Kanon Kanase's head.

Amidst the girl's soft cry of pain, Mahiro sighed helplessly:

"I didn't mean to say that, and it's not important. What's important is that I remember there should be more than a dozen at the monastery, right? Can you take care of them now? They've all been brought to school... I know you're kind-hearted, Kanon Kanase, but it wouldn't be good if these little guys interfered with your studies."

You wouldn't want to find yourself unable to adopt abandoned cats in the future, would you?

"I'm sorry, the monastery is already full, it's all my fault..." Kanon Kanase lowered her head and murmured softly, then nervously glanced at Mahiro, looking like a child who had done something wrong.

This left Mahiro even more speechless.

"Why apologize? I didn't condemn your actions at all. What I mean is, haven't you considered having them adopted by someone else?"

"It's already underway. Nagisa Aiba and Yukina have been helping to find suitable adoptive families. After all, I'm shy, and boys tend to avoid me. If they weren't around, I don't think I could possibly ask other people if they would be willing to adopt them."

Hearing what Kanon Kanase said Mahiro somewhat.

Despite her unapproachable demeanor, Kanon Kanase is still a rare beauty in the world.

Moreover, it wasn't the kind of beauty one usually sees, but rather a strong sense of holiness, which is why she earned the title of a saint in the middle of the country.

But it must be said, it is indeed very appropriate.

It could be said that Kanase Kanon is more like a clergyman than the priest Lotharingia from some time ago. If an angel fell from heaven to earth or was reincarnated as a human, she would probably be just like Kanon Kanase.

With such a charming and beautiful demeanor, and such a composed personality, would her classmates avoid her?

To be honest, Mahiro still had a little bit of disbelief.

What surprised him even more was that he thought Yukina hadn't been following him around like a little tail all this time, and that Nagisa Aiba's late returns every day were for school sports training and rehearsals.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be because he helped Kanon Kanase find new homes for abandoned cats.

Most importantly, these two girls were actually keeping it from me!

Mahiro had made up his mind to teach those two girls a lesson.

Thinking of this, Mahiro reached into Kanon Kanase's handbag, took out a can of food, opened it, and fed it to the cat.

Then he looked up and glanced at the sky.

I realized that I had spent more than an hour with Kanon Kanase without even noticing, and it was already lunchtime.

So he invited:

"Kanon Kanase, would you like to go have lunch with your brother?"

"Eh? But..."

Kanon Kanase was taken aback for a moment, then looked somewhat embarrassed at the little kitten who was lying on the ground happily devouring the can of food.

Just as she was about to shake her head in refusal, Mahiro's voice rang out again.

"It's okay, we'll wait here until it finishes eating, and then we'll take it with us!"

This time, Kanon Kanase didn't refuse; instead, she happily nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, Brother Mahiro."

Soon after, the kitten finished its canned food and was taken to the school cafeteria by him and Kanon Kanase.

Although half of the cafeteria was destroyed due to the conflict on the day of Gada's visit and is still under repair, the other half is still open for business as usual.

The lunch was paid for by Mahiro, and it was quite a feast.

After enjoying a delicious lunch, Mahiro prepared to say goodbye to Kanon Kanase.

"Alright, I'm going back to sleep now. Kanon Kanase, you should also make sure your kitten is settled in properly and doesn't run around the school anymore."

"Yes, I will." Kanon Kanase nodded seriously.

"By the way, strange things are going to happen in the city tonight, Mahiro don't go out, Makoto-nii."

At the moment of parting, Kanon Kanase said something inexplicable to Mahiro.

These words made Mahiro pause in his departing steps, turning back to look at the girl with a sincere and gentle expression, his eyes gradually becoming meaningful.

"Very dangerous?"

"It's dangerous, so Brother Mahiro shouldn't leave the house at night. I don't want you to Mahiro hurt."

"Okay, I understand."

Mahiro didn't say anything, he just agreed.

Kanon Kanase watched his receding figure, her expression slightly somber.

"I'm sorry, Mahiro- nii, I hope you can forgive Kanon Kanase..."

A soft, slightly guilty voice echoed quietly through the noisy campus and gradually faded away.

Nighttime.

Like when the demons appear.

This is a moment of tranquility for humans, and a time of revelry for the demons' night parade of a hundred ghosts.

However, on the streets of the human residential area, which had already fallen silent, a black sedan disappeared into the night, followed by a van.

Their target was a newly built orphanage located deep in a residential area.

When the two cars arrived, a figure was already standing in front of the orphanage, seemingly having been waiting for them for some time.

A cool night breeze gently blew by.

The girl's silver hair swayed, and her eyes shone brightly.

Bathed in moonlight, she was enveloped in a layer of pure white holy light.

That person was none other than Kanase Kanon, who had been feeding the cats with Yotsuba Mahiro during the day!

At that moment, the door of the black sedan had already been opened.

A tall, slender woman with a graceful figure stepped out of the front passenger seat. She then went to the back seat, opened the door, and greeted a middle-aged man wearing a white coat.

When the man saw Kanase Kanon, his face was full of emotion and pity, but a hint of greed surfaced deep in his eyes.

"Kanon Kanase..."

"Please don't call me that, Mr. Kanase Kensei."

Indeed, the person who arrived was none other than Kanase Kensei, the lead researcher and initiator of the research on artificial angels.

Beside him was his secretary, Beatrice Basler, a T-type vampire who had once attacked the armored airship of the Norse Ardigia royal family.

And also Lo Kirishima, who was both a bodyguard and an attacker.

Behind them stood a girl with vacant eyes, like a marionette.

The girl was still wearing a pure white hospital gown; her body was thin and she looked malnourished and broken.

However, at this moment, Kanon Kanase's cold attitude greatly displeased Beatrice.

In her eyes, Kanase Kanon was no different from that Ardigia sow—just a mere prop.

Just as she was about to step forward and teach this little girl a lesson, Kanase Kensei stopped her.

At the same time, he smiled kindly at Kanase Kanon across from him and spoke in as gentle a tone as possible:

"Kanon Kanase, your mother is my sister, and I am your uncle. There's no need for us to be so distant. If it weren't for that man Yotsuba Mahiro, preventing us from meeting a few years ago, we should have been living together long ago..."

No matter what Kanase Kensei said, Kanase Kanon remained unmoved as she stared at the man.

There was no emotion in his eyes, only an icy coldness and resistance.

"... I agree to your terms, Mr. Yese, and I can go with you, but will you keep your promise and let everyone at the orphanage go?"
