Chapter 391
Kisara Tendo, carrying the Seven Stars Relics, went to the council office to request an audience with the Holy Emperor. Broly and the others, as members of the agency who had completed their commission, also went along.
Inside the club, Broly saw the white-haired Holy Emperor from the television. The other party's voice was the same as the one that had rejected him yesterday—cold and without much emotion. Combined with his exquisite features, he was like a doll without any feelings.
"President Tendo truly lives up to her reputation as the granddaughter of the Assistant Minister. She completed the commission so quickly, and all by herself, with her entire company handling it alone."
"Your Majesty is too kind. My relationship with my grandfather is well-known. The fact that I was able to complete your request so quickly is all thanks to my company's capable agents."
"I know Mr. Rentaro Satomi, Ms. Enju Aihara, and..."
Her gaze lingered on Broly; the information gathered from the investigation did not include the boy's existence.
"This is Broly, who recently joined our firm, and he is the one who made this commission possible."
When introducing Tendo Kisara, he didn't hold back his praise at all.
"Um."
The Holy Emperor nodded slightly and prepared to settle the commission with the Tian Tong Agency.
"Your Majesty, forgive my intrusion, but what exactly are the Seven Star Relics?"
After giving away the box, Tendo Kisara began to inquire about it.
"I can't disclose that."
The Holy Emperor shook his head, refusing to reveal any information about the Seven Star Relics.
"During the acquisition of the Seven Star Relics, we also obtained some information..."
Upon seeing this, Kisara Tendo revealed the information that Hiruko Kagetane was an employee.
"Employment..."
The Holy Emperor's expression turned serious.
After a moment's hesitation, and having the people around him move a little distance away, he asked, "Can I trust you, Miss Tendo?"
"Of course, our firm always keeps our clients' information confidential."
Kisara Tendo nodded in response.
"The Seven Star Relics served as a medium for attracting five-star gastrulators during their developmental stage."
"What?"
"I initially thought it was just that person's act of revenge against society, but now that I have information about his employment, the situation is not so simple."
What are stage five gastrulation animals?
Enju Aihara was somewhat puzzled.
"They are the most evolved Gastrea in the world, known as the Zodiac, and they were the culprits that destroyed the world."
Rentaro Satomi explained to the girl with a serious expression.
"The actions of a madman and the situation of being employed are two different things. The former refers to the individual madness of an extremist, while the latter probably means that someone wants to use the Seven Star Relics to destroy the current Tokyo Safety Zone."
Tendo Kisara added from the side.
"Do you know the identity of the employee behind that person?"
The Holy Emperor pressed for an answer.
"The other party didn't say, and since we wanted to bring the Seven Star Relics back safely, we didn't get entangled with them any further."
Rentaro Satomi explained.
"So, President Tendo, I'd like to hire your firm in my private capacity to secretly investigate the situation behind this matter. The fee is one hundred million. I wonder if your firm can accept this commission?"
The Holy Emperor then spoke again.
"Is it really a good idea to entrust such an important matter to a private firm like ours?"
Tendo Kinka didn't agree directly, but asked instead.
"I have only been in power for less than a year, and there are still some things I am not clear about in some departments of the state organs. This matter is too important to be entrusted with."
Tendou Kisara understood that the other party probably didn't have many trustworthy people under his command, so much so that this holy emperor preferred to outsource the investigation to a private agency.
At the very least, by reclaiming the Seven Star Relics, they can prove that they are definitely not in cahoots with the person behind Hiruko Kagetane.
"Leave this to us. It just involves intelligence gathering, so our agency might need to travel to some government departments..."
"No problem, I can temporarily issue some official documents for your special investigator status to Ms. Tendo's agency."
"I will certainly live up to His Majesty the Holy Emperor's expectations."
In this way, Tiantong Agency has gotten in touch with the new Holy Emperor, and if things go smoothly, a meteoric rise to power is not a dream.
"Then I look forward to seeing what Ms. Tendo and the person behind you will do."
The Holy Emperor spoke meaningfully, shaking hands with Tendou Musang.
As expected, faced with the conspiracy that could destroy Tokyo, even forces within the military temporarily set aside their excessive ambitions and were willing to stand with her, the nominal leader of the country.
"By the way, Your Majesty, my staff is facing a small problem and we would like to ask for your help."
After shaking hands, Tendo Kisara spoke again.
"What trouble is it? And how can I help?"
The White-Haired Holy Emperor became somewhat wary and did not immediately agree to help.
"Here's the thing, my originator..."
Rentaro Satomi stepped forward and told the White-Haired Seitenko about how he had sent Enju Aihara to a regular school and how her identity as a cursed child had now been exposed.
"It's not really my place to help resolve this situation, but I can have my aide speak to the people at the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology."
Schools, whether public or private, are never afraid of the top management. The emperor may not be able to handle such a trivial matter, but it is not difficult to resolve it.
At Gou Tian Elementary School, the principal is furious because a school security guard was beaten to the ground, and teachers and students were also injured.
"So what if they got in through connections with School Board Member Sima? After such a terrible incident, do you expect our school to continue harboring that cursed child?"
"Dismiss him! That student must be dismissed, and the guy who hit him must apologize. Otherwise, we'll call the police. We can't let the students' parents lose faith in Goutian Elementary School!"
At noon, during an emergency meeting at Gou Tian Elementary School, the principal made these eloquent remarks.
"Yes, I am the principal of Gouda Elementary School. Um, our school has experienced the incident of a cursed child enrolling. Eh, you are leaders from the Ministry of Education. What, His Majesty the Holy Emperor is somewhat concerned about this matter..."
In the afternoon, in the principal's office, watching the Holy Emperor's advocacy of the Gastric New Method on television, the primary school principal broke out in a cold sweat.
When important figures aren't paying attention to something, the way to act is determined by the prevailing social atmosphere. But now that important figures are secretly watching, if I still don't know what's good for me, then my job as a primary school principal is over.
They might even be given the cold shoulder, harassed, or worse, imprisoned for several years—it's not impossible.
"Teacher Takeuchi, I must severely criticize you for what happened this morning..."
In the afternoon, Gou Tian Elementary School held another impromptu teachers' meeting. The male teacher who had been slapped in the morning was reprimanded in front of the school principal.
"Even His Majesty the Holy Emperor is advocating the New Gut Method, yet you don't read any current affairs news and even engage in discriminatory practices against cursed children."
"Do you realize that having your students unite to ostracize such a pitiful child is a serious dereliction of duty, a breach of professional ethics as a teacher?!"
"ah?!"
The bespectacled male teacher who was being reprimanded was dumbfounded.
"What do you mean 'oh'? The most important thing now is to clear up this misunderstanding and comfort the students who have been discriminated against."
"But didn't you say at noon that you were going to call the police?"
"Why call the police? This is just a conflict between students. Do you want to escalate a small matter into a big one?"
"What about the parents of the student who was assaulted..."
"You must reassure them and communicate privately with the parents of those children, making them understand that our school is an excellent primary school that closely follows the country's new policies and is a place to cultivate the future pillars of this nation..."
The principal of Gou Tian Elementary School practically had the word "loyalty" written all over his face during his speech at the temporary meeting. He hadn't had the chance before, but now that the big shots above were watching him, how could he not know how to behave? What else could he be but a fool?
"So, if other children of the curse want to enroll in our school, will we still have to use some excuse to refuse their admission?"
An experienced teacher who was always in charge of student recruitment cautiously asked the question.
"As I said, our school must closely follow national policies. If the conditions are right, approval is not out of the question."
The primary school principal still left room for maneuver in his statement.
Clearly, if the bigwigs at the top are still watching this area, then Gou Tian Elementary School will be an advanced elementary school.
Conversely, if the social climate changes again, or if new laws and policies emerge, then their schools will have no choice but to maintain tradition and refuse admission to some children suffering from conjunctivitis.
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
. . . .
The task of retrieving the Seven Star Relics was completed in the morning. Kikunojo Tendou received the news and confirmed it at noon. That evening, while he was practicing calligraphy alone in his study, a masked man jumped over the wall of the Aide-de-Ciel's residence.
"Why did the mission fail?"
As Hiruko Eiji approached the study door, the old man inside, who was practicing calligraphy, asked him a question.
"I encountered a master, but I was no match for him."
Hiruko Kagetane did not hide anything.
"You, who once had IP134, are no match for a mere teenager?"
Kikunojo Tendo looked at him sternly, somewhat doubting Hiruko Kagetane's words.
"I'm not referring to the children you adopted before, but the children who have recently joined your granddaughter's agency."
"Who?"
"His name is Broly. I don't know his exact identity, but his strength surpasses that of me and my daughter."
As Hiruko Kagetane spoke, he tossed the box in his hand over.
"The commission could not be completed; this is the refunded commission fee."
Kikunojo Tendo caught the money box, frowned, and asked, "Are you just going to leave like this?"
"What, does Your Excellency, Tendo, still intend to keep me here?"
Hiruko Kagetane asked with a smile, his dangerous aura emanating from him undisguisedly.
To him, a high-ranking and powerful old man meant nothing.
He can kill someone whenever he wants.
"I don't want you to stay, but I hope you can continue to carry out the mandate."
The money box was thrown back.
"Um?"
"One failure is nothing, just try again."
That being said, there's a certain helplessness to it, because the only guy with the ability and the willingness to accept the mission to destroy Tokyo in the fifth stage of the summoning phase is a madman like Hiruko Kagetane, a war maniac with an abnormal mind.
"If that child still stands in my way, I won't be able to fulfill your request."
Hiruko Kagetane had stated this beforehand.
"I will investigate the child you mentioned and prevent him from becoming an obstacle to your execution of the mandate."
"The Seven Star Relics should have been sent to a military detention center by now. My daughter and I can't infiltrate a place guarded by a heavily armed military unit."
"Don't worry, because of the theft of the Seven Star Relics, the Holy Emperor does not currently trust the person in charge of the military detention center. The items are currently with the Council, right next to the Holy Emperor."
"Do you want me to assassinate that Holy Emperor?"
Hiruko Kagetane asked with a smile, showing his interest in the job.
"The Holy Emperor's survival is crucial; she is the key to reunifying this country. Your only task is to retrieve the Seven Star Relics and summon Scorpio. I will not allow you to do anything else."
"Hmph, what high-sounding words you make. You old codger just want to manipulate the other party to gain more power."
"I am not someone you can judge. Will you do this task or not?"
"Yes, of course I did it. The world is more chaotic because of ambitious people like you, and that's exactly what I wanted to see."
Hiruko Kagetane left, and Tendo Kikunojo breathed a sigh of relief. Faced with such a madman, no one could say for sure what he might do.
Tendo Kisara, the youngest daughter of his eldest son, was thought to be unable to accept the death of her parents at a young age and would gradually become an outsider in the Tendo family. Unexpectedly, she reappeared in front of him, the head of the Tendo family, in this way.
The old man stood up, went outside, and called over a trusted aide, instructing him to investigate the police station founded by his granddaughter.
. . . .
On the third day after Broly came to this world, Aihara Enju went to the school again. Some of the elementary school students who had been beaten the day before saw her, but unlike the morning before, they did not come out with various things to block the girl from entering the school building.
"How could your school do this, forcing our children to study alongside the cursed?"
After entering the teaching building, some parents of the students who were slapped yesterday came and blocked the door of the teachers' office, demanding an explanation.
The male teacher tried to explain that this was Gou Tian Elementary School responding to the Holy Emperor's call and adhering to the New Law of the Original Gut, granting the cursed child the right to enroll as an ordinary child, but this explanation did not satisfy the parents whose children had been slapped.
"We don't know anything about new laws. All we know is that your school allowed a dangerous monster into the school, and that monster even hurt my child yesterday!"
A burly parent grabbed the male teacher by the collar and continued to argue.
"Yeah, yeah..."
The parents nearby were also making a fuss. Whether it was their own child being beaten or the fact that the "cursed child" was also studying at this school, these adults found it unacceptable.
The male teacher was helpless. He had also been beaten yesterday, and the swelling on both sides of his face had not subsided today. However, under the principal's intimidation, he had no choice but to persuade the parents of the beaten students to let the matter drop.
However, things are not so easy to do. Apart from one or two parents who were willing to let things go, the other parents brought their beaten children to the school, wanting the school to give an explanation that was supposedly reasonable but was actually acceptable to them.
With the help of the Holy Emperor, they managed to get Gou Tian Elementary School to change its stance, but the parents of the beaten students were not so easy to deal with.
Of course, Broly didn't think so, and he rolled up his sleeves.
Today is another day of persuading people with reason.
"Clap clap clap..."
"An explanation, is my explanation sufficient?"
"Didn't you say your family died from Gastrea? How come there's still one of your fathers here?"
"Only my grandparents died."
The chubby boy quickly explained.
"Uh, okay, then watch closely as I slap your old man!"
The burly man was held in the boy's hand, completely unable to resist, and was being slapped by the boy's large sinus.
Meanwhile, a group of adults had already collapsed, covering their faces and groaning in pain.
