Cursed Child Adoption Center!
Living room!
Seitenshi arrived here.
"Th-this is all I know."
"I swear, this was the only time I participated in an operation using Gastrea."
The man looked at Ayato, trembling. "C-can you spare my life?"
Ayato didn't answer. He just glanced at Saeko. "Take him outside. Don't dirty the living room."
"Yes!"
Saeko acknowledged and dragged the constantly pleading man outside.
Meanwhile,
Seitenshi sat on the sofa, her hands clenched tightly, looking utterly dejected.
'How could this happen?'
'I had only just made a proposal.'
'And yet, these people couldn't even wait a single day before implementing such a ruthless plan.'
'If it had succeeded...'
'Who knows how many would have died.'
For a moment,
A wave of powerlessness washed over her.
The beliefs in her heart began to waver like never before.
Although she knew politics was dirty...
To be so utterly devoid of principles... she couldn't accept it.
"Now you see it clearly."
Ayato spoke. "Of course, you can still think about whether you want to stick to your own way."
"But before that, those who attacked me must pay the price."
As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"..."
Seitenshi wanted to speak but ultimately sighed.
At this point,
Even she had nothing to say.
She was utterly disappointed in those officials, especially Kikunojo.
"Hey hey, Ayato-nii."
Kohina grabbed Ayato's arm excitedly. "Can we finally cut people down?"
"Kohina wants to come too, to kill everyone who bothered Ayato-nii."
"Me too. Those people are far too evil."
Enju raised her hand. "This servant wants to teach them a lesson too."
"Children shouldn't be so violent."
"What you should do now is live happily."
Ayato gave each of them a flick on the forehead. "As for this time, I only need to bring Kisara."
"After all, this is her grudge too."
"Thank you, Master."
Kisara gripped the hilt of her sword tightly, her gaze dark and deep.
Her terrifying killing intent was almost tangible.
…
Tendo Residence!
Even within Tokyo, this location was incredibly valuable.
Because the family living here was the true power family of all Tokyo.
At this moment,
All members of the Tendo Family were gathered together.
Kikunojo sat at the head of the table, holding a carving knife, carving a wooden Buddha statue with lifelike detail.
Besides being a politician...
His skill as a carver was considered a national living treasure.
However,
He hadn't carved anything for many years.
But today, due to a vague unease, he had to use this method to calm his mind.
"Grandfather, this operation was a complete failure. All the Gastrea were slaughtered, and the men we sent out never returned."
Tendo Kazumitsu stood up. "It seems we underestimated the owner of that Adoption Center. No wonder Seitenshi is cooperating with him."
"Exactly."
Tendo Gentaka agreed. "But the more this is true, the more necessary it is to eliminate him. Cursed Children do not deserve to live in the sunlight."
Hearing this, others also spoke up.
As members of the Tendo Family, they all knew very well.
Because his wife died in the Gastrea War...
Kikunojo hated Cursed Children with a burning passion.
This Adoption Center must be eliminated.
"This opponent is very strong. Being able to annihilate so many Gastrea in such a short time says a lot."
Kikunojo placed the carved Buddha statue on the table and said calmly, "We can't use ordinary methods anymore."
"But you're right. This Adoption Center cannot continue to exist."
Kazumitsu and the others listened intently, waiting for his instructions.
"Arrgghhh!"
But just then, continuous screams came from outside.
Vaguely, one could see electric light flashing.
"What's going on?"
All the Tendo Family's members were shocked. Before they could react, the screams outside stopped abruptly.
Creak.
The door was pushed open. A young man and woman walked in slowly.
Behind them were the guards, all turned to charcoal.
The rich aroma of roasted meat wafted in on the breeze.
"Kisara?"
"It's you, you unfilial descendant?"
"This man... seems to be the owner of the Adoption Center?"
"What are you doing here?"
Seeing Ayato and Kisara, everyone's expressions changed.
Their family's security was extremely tight, even surpassing the Holy Residence.
And now,
They had appeared here.
They clearly came with bad intentions.
"Doing what?"
Ayato smiled coldly. "When you attacked me, did you think about this moment?"
"Treason! Don't spout nonsense here."
Kazumitsu was furious. "Do you know where this is?"
"Even if you have Seitenshi behind you, this is an unforgivable crime. I advise you..."
swish!
Before he could finish, a sharp killing intent bloomed.
A flash of light pierced through Kazumitsu's body at an unbelievable speed.
Kisara's figure had somehow appeared beside Kazumitsu, in a sword-drawing pose.
Clang... Squelch!
As the blade fully entered its scabbard, a large amount of blood sprayed.
This slash was the pinnacle of speed.
And it was chilling to the extreme.
Turning her head, Kisara didn't look again at the fallen Kazumitsu. Instead, she showed a warm smile.
"Everyone, before speaking with my Master, you'd better watch your tone."
"After all, I am barely controlling my urge to kill you."
Even though she was smiling, there was no amusement in her eyes.
