This Is Proof of How I Feel (5.7K)

"President Qi Wu, may we get down to business now?"

Qi Wu clicked his tongue, completely ignoring the state of his subordinate who had been slapped away, and waved his hand, saying, "Let's begin."

You've made progress, young lady.

He glanced with slight surprise at the Seitenshi, who was now formally beginning a detailed discussion with Saitake Sougen.

The first informal meeting ended two hours later.

The only decent outcome of the talks was that both sides understood from the moment they entered the room that the Seitenshi and Saitake Sougen were irreconcilable enemies.

Chapter 82 This is proof of my feelings (5.7K)

As we got into the Lincoln for the return trip, the surroundings were already shrouded in a thick night.

No one knows what they did last night, but Aihara Enju, who was always dozing off during the day, is now sleeping on his lap again.

There was absolutely no sign of any guards.

On the contrary, Xiao Asaka was quite conscientious. She still held her long sword and sat near the car door, constantly observing the scenery outside the window to prevent any accidents from happening.

The Seitenshi, who should have breathed a sigh of relief after the meeting, was now filled with worry.

The so-called talks were nothing more than a unilateral declaration of war by Sogen Saitake.

He said he wanted to become the sole ruler of Japan, and no one could stand in his way.

An idealistic and virtuous Seitenshi encountered the selfish and ambitious Sogen Saitake, so the talks naturally could not continue and ended unhappily.

So much so that on the way back, the Seitenshi maintained the elegant posture of his hands folded on his knees, gazing at the darkness outside the window with a melancholy expression.

"Don't be so sad. Overall, you won this meeting."

The Seitenshi responded to his words of comfort, slowly shifting his gaze.

"I'm not sad..."

He paused for a moment before continuing, "However, perhaps there's one reason... It's probably because I've always silently believed that as long as you treat people sincerely, you'll gain their understanding, and that's precisely why I feel even more disappointed."

"But I'm still quite glad, especially to hear that you, Mr. Mahiro, were able to decline President Qi Wu's invitation."

"Ha, what's there to be happy about? Do you think I'm some kind of fool sitting at the same table with a madman who can't even see his own limitations?" Mahiro out the window and sneered disdainfully, "In the end, Saitake Sougen's fate was nothing more than self-destruction."

"I know."

The Seitenshi lowered his head slightly, opened the car refrigerator beside him, took out three cups and a bottle of peach juice, poured them in, and then distributed them to them.

Holding her champagne glass, she said softly, "However, I sense that you, Mr. Mahiro, have an excessive dislike, even hostility, towards the people of the Tokyo Area."

"I don't quite understand why you harbor such deep prejudice against the people here. In your eyes, are the people of Tokyo Area so unforgivable?"

"Please don't ask me such dark questions, Seitenshi Majesty," Mahiro.

"...?"

Upon hearing this blunt statement, the Seitenshi was stunned.

Where is the darkness in her question?

"Gang rape, rape, humiliation, abuse, murder, and so on—how many of these do you think I've encountered in the year I've been in the Tokyo Area? No fewer than dozens, and all of them were directed at children."

Zhenxun spoke slowly and deliberately, as Mahiro a familiar story.

"And I witnessed it with my own eyes."

In other words, how much more is happening in the corners I don't see? It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's happening every single day, every minute of every day!

Do you think that in a place like this, inhabited by these CS players dressed in human skin, there is any value in forgiving them?

Xiao Asaka, who was on guard, heard his words and slightly tightened her grip on the katana in her arms.

Mahiro right. She was one of those who were beaten and bullied every day. If she hadn't met Mahiro- sama, she might have already died in some deserted alley.

And all of this, the Seitenshi has always claimed to want to grant them human rights, has remained deaf to!

Hypocritical!

"How could this be... The inspector has never received so many cases before, and I have never even heard of them."

The Seitenshi seemed to sense the hostile gaze from Mibu Asaka, but she was even more surprised by Mahiro's words.

Despite Superintendent General Masashi Kaname never mentioning these matters in his reports, he only reported that many people had gone missing in the Tokyo Area that year...

"Your Seitenshi, your inner self is indeed as pure and immaculate as your outward appearance," Mahiro remarked. "I suggest that the first thing you do upon returning is to fire all these people, or rather, just kill them outright."

Although he knew very well that the Seitenshi would not do such a thing.

Just as he had guessed, the Seitenshi fell silent.

However, the silence was short-lived; she quickly raised her head and looked over with a determined gaze.

"I understand. I will thoroughly investigate what you said when I get back, Mr. Mahiro. If it is Mahiro as you say, then I will not let any evildoer get away with it!"

She said it with absolute certainty.

"Then I'll wait and see?"

Mahiro didn't mean to discourage her.

It's easy to guess what the final outcome will be: with Tendo Kikunojo's interference, the Seitenshi will not succeed.

This time, it was just a casual chat.

Nothing will change, neither him nor the future of the Tokyo Area.

The car approached the intersection and slowly came to a stop at the red light.

A light drizzle started outside, blurring the view from the window.

Just then, Mahiro's gaze, which was fixed on the distance, froze slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"You're here..."

"Mr. Mahiro, what's here?"

The Seitenshi couldn't help but ask, but then she saw Yotsuba Mahiro pull out a strangely shaped pistol from her pocket and point it at the car window...

No, it's pointed out the window!

And at the very end of that road stood a dark, towering building.

Don't drive.

Mahiro commanded.

As the only personal bodyguard on this mission, he was naturally granted the authority by the Seitenshi to plan the route and command the driver.

At that very moment, a flash of light appeared and disappeared near the roof of the building.

That was clearly muzzle flash!

At the same time, a bullet... no, to be precise, a sniper grenade is flying towards us at supersonic speed!

"That's really an exaggeration..."

Mahiro muttered to himself, but a smile crept onto his lips as he pulled the trigger.

Just as the grenade was less than ten meters from the vehicle, it suddenly and mysteriously stopped in mid-air, and the next second it Decomposition into dust.

"Master Mahiro?!"

Asaka realized that someone had launched an assassination attack!

At the same time, Aihara Enju woke up from her sleep and looked Mahiro in the direction where Mahiro's gun was pointed.

"Xiao Asaka and Xiao Aihara Enju, take the Seitenshi out of the car and find cover nearby to keep watch."

Vehicles are too large targets to be used defensively.

Without the slightest hesitation, Mibu Asaka and Enju Aihara each took turns kicking open the car door and pulling the Seitenshi out of the car.

But then, the muzzle flashed again.

And not just once, but five times in a row!

The enemy seemed to have emptied their magazine in one go, with five sniper grenades flying towards them in succession.

Mahiro instantly deployed the "Phalanx" to protect the Seitenshi and the others.

The grenade struck the square shield and exploded, the resulting blast dispersing the rain. The Seitenshi quickly pressed her hat down, the scorching air blowing across her face.

She was pale and trembling, clutching the hem of her dress tightly.

Unexpectedly, the other side used explosives in the attack.

If I hadn't hired Mahiro, I'm afraid I and the driver would have been killed in the explosion.

Not only that, it will also affect pedestrians nearby!

President Qi Wu, why did you go to such lengths?!

The Seitenshi bit his lower lip, screaming inwardly.

At that moment, Mahiro had already gotten out of the car and was gazing into the distance, staring at the sniper lurking in the darkness.

"Nearly three kilometers... that's a bit exaggerated, Tina."

As if he had heard his whisper, the other party launched another attack.

But this time, it wasn't a sniper grenade, but an anti-tank sniper round with armor-piercing capabilities!

Even after replacing the flame suppressor in that short period of time, no flames appeared.

"Mahiro, let me do it!!!"

Before he could activate the Nihility, Xiao Asaka suddenly stood in front of the Seitenshi and unleashed the power of the Cursed Children, lightly pressing her thumb against the hilt of her sword while her right hand gripped the handle tightly.

"Tendo-style Iaijutsu, Form 1, Chapter 1--"

"Freezing Drops!!!"

Clang--

The sound of the blade being drawn rang out, and the sword was swung out with the speed of lightning and thunder, its blade turning into a white light that flashed across the night sky.

The incoming anti-tank sniper bullets were immediately sliced into several pieces and scattered around, embedding themselves in the asphalt road and the walls of the surrounding buildings.

But then another shot was fired.

"Aihara Enju- chan!" Mibu Asaka shouted.

"Haaah---!!!"

Aihara Enju, her eyes also bloodshot, immediately leaped into the air to meet the sniper bullet.

When--

A burst of tiny sparks erupted in mid-air, followed by a belated, sharp impact.

The girl slid quite a distance across the ground after landing before regaining her balance.

These kids are so exaggerated...

Even Mahiro couldn't help but twitch his lips after seeing it; he estimated that even he would have difficulty replicating this fighting style.

Intercepting bullets with a kick in mid-air—even The Matrix wouldn't dare to do something like that.

However, perhaps because of their outrageous behavior, the snipers in the darkness stopped their attack.

The next second, his phone rang.

Upon seeing the number, Mahiro couldn't help but smile and answered the phone.

"... Hello, is this Mr. Mahiro?"

"Yes, it's me."

"... I am Tina. Where are you right now? I would like to see you."

"Missed me?" Mahiro's voice carried a hint of teasing.

However, there was no response.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes."

"..."
