Chapter 350: You Finally Came

~16 min read 3,071 words

"Broly, do you know what happened to Shiki?"

The next day, when Broly brought lunch to deliver food to Fujimura Taiga, Fujimura Taiga asked him this.

"What happened to Shiki?"

Broly looked at Teng Village Taiga, who was wearing a plaid short-sleeved T-shirt today, and asked back with some confusion.

"Don't you know? Shiki didn't come to school today."

Fujimura Taiga was also somewhat surprised that Broly actually didn't know the girl's situation.

"Shiki doesn't need me to deliver breakfast. After I delivered breakfast to you this morning, I went straight back to Fuyuki City."

Broly explained.

His daily life in this world, on mornings when Ryougi Shiki needed to go to school, was mostly spent in Fuyuki City.

"I see, but can't you sense other people's Qi? Didn't you sense that Shiki didn't come to school this morning?"

Fujimura Taiga nodded, found it somewhat strange, and asked.

"Eyes can see things, but if you don't stare at them, Fujimura-sensei, do you know what's in the direction I'm pointing now, outside your field of vision?"

Broly pointed behind Fujimura Taiga and asked.

"Uh, I don't know."

Fujimura Taiga shook his head.

"Likewise, I don't usually expand my Qi Sense very much in daily life, because if Qi Sense is expanded, there will be many Qis I can sense."

"Although it won't make me feel uncomfortable, it's like looking into the distance with your eyes; it will disperse my attention to nearby things, and thus I might ignore things happening around me."

"So, generally when I'm in a city on the ground, my Qi Sense is only maintained at a distance of a few meters around me, and only when flying at high altitude do I expand my Qi Sense range, but that's just to avoid the possibility of colliding with other flying lifeforms in the air due to my own excessive speed."

"I see." Fujimura Taiga realized, but asked again, "Then don't you sense that Shiki isn't at school right now?"

"Everyone's Qi is different, and although I remember Shiki's Qi, I can only discover her Qi all at once in an open place."

"But if she's in a place dense with creatures, I need to distinguish her Qi. Of course, that's not too difficult a thing; it's just that I'm delivering food to Fujimura-sensei right now, aren't I?"

Broly lifted the large bento box in his hand and said.

"Alright, then go check on Shiki later and ask her why she didn't come to school today, whether she's sick."

Taking the bento, Fujimura Taiga said this.

"Sick?!"

Hearing these words, the boy only then reacted somewhat.

Qi Sense expanded directly, heading toward the direction of the Ryougi Family.

Then, he furrowed his brow.

"What's wrong?"

Fujimura Taiga saw his expression and couldn't help but ask.

"Shiki isn't at home."

"Went out?"

"Her Qi wasn't found in Guanbu City either."

"Did she leave this city?"

Broly sensed carefully for a while, then shook his head and said: "She seems to have left this planet."

"Cough..."

Hearing this, Fujimura Taiga, who had just taken a mouthful of rice, almost choked on the rice in his mouth.

Goddamn leaving the planet, talking as if leaving the planet were a very simple matter.

Of course, this might be simple for Broly.

But for Renwulei, it's not something easily accomplished.

"Could it be that your perception is wrong?"

Fujimura Taiga asked.

Broly thought it was possible, so he used Qi Sense to carefully scan Guanbu City several more times, and also roughly scanned the planet several times, but still found nothing.

"I indeed can't sense Shiki's Qi anymore."

Broly's small face had already become serious.

"Broly, don't be anxious. Maybe Shiki just went to a place with many people. I'll call her home now to ask."

Seeing the boy's expression turn serious, Fujimura Taiga hurriedly put down the bento, took out his phone, and dialed the landline at the Ryougi Family's home.

The phone was connected.

"Hello, I'm a teacher from Kanjo Gakuen, my name is Fujimura Taiga. May I ask what happened to classmate Ryougi Shiki, why didn't she come to school today?"

"Teacher Fujimura? Sorry, our young lady's body is feeling somewhat unwell."

"Classmate Ryougi Shiki isn't at home, right?"

"Wait, who are you? Did you kidnap our young lady?"

The voice coming from the receiver was heard by Broly.

"I'll go take a look at the Ryougi Family's place."

The boy couldn't stay put and directly ran out of the Office.

"I really am a teacher..."

Fujimura Taiga explained.

Before she could prove her identity, Broly had already arrived above the Ryougi Family's home.

"Bang~"

He directly smashed into the Ryougi Family's home, landing in front of the sunglasses-wearing, suit-clad man answering the landline.

The noise of the crash brought the Ryougi family members running out to check the situation.

A group of burly Yakuza thugs turned their gaze onto the strange boy.

"Broli-sama, you've come?!"

This group wanted to lay hands on the boy suspected of being an intruder, but Butler Qiu Long stopped them.

The head of the Ryougi family, Shiki's father, upon hearing the boy's name, did not stop the butler's unilateral decision.

He knew that most of the friends his daughter now associated with were not ordinary people.

"Fujimura-sensei, I'll contact you once I have news of Shiki."

Broly said a word to Fujimura Taiga on the other end of the receiver, then followed Butler Qiu Long and the head of the Ryougi family into a room nearby.

The other Yakuza members did not follow them in.

After sitting down, Butler Qiu Long told him about the girl's situation.

Simply put, Ryougi Shiki had gone missing; she disappeared last night, and the location was her own room.

As for why it could be determined to be a disappearance rather than the girl running away from home, it was because Butler Qiu Long was found by the Ryougi family's servants this morning, unconscious at the entrance to Ryougi Shiki's room.

"After discovering the young lady was missing this morning, we took action, but to this day, we still cannot find Big Sister's traces."

"Judging by the current situation, the person who kidnapped my daughter may not be an ordinary person. You are my daughter's friend; if her disappearance is unrelated to you, then I hope you can help find her."

"You don't need to tell me; I will find her."

Hearing this, the head of the Ryougi family twitched the corner of his mouth; this was his first formal meeting with this boy.

But even with just slight contact, he felt the boy's dominance.

However, being dominant was fine—it showed he was capable.

"Then, I entrust this to you, sir. My side will also continue searching for Shiki's traces."

Broly agreed to find Ryougi Shiki for the head of the Ryougi family, but without being able to perceive Shiki's Qi, finding someone was another problem.

However, he thought of Kanata's words and returned to Kanjo Gakuren, finding the boy who was just preparing to return to the classroom.

After learning of Ryougi Shiki's mysterious disappearance, Kanata decisively took leave and was brought by Broly to this side of the Ryougi family to inspect the crime scene.

However, if normal methods could find clues, the Ryougi family would have found them long ago, and the boy had no way either.

"This is an abnormal disappearance case; we need Rin Tohsaka and the others to help."

But the boy also gave a suggestion.

Broly decisively returned to Fuyuki City to call for reinforcements.

"Professional matters should be handled by professionals; we aren't detectives. Let's go to Garan no Dou."

After inspecting Ryougi Shiki's room and finding no clues, Rin Tohsaka said as such.

"Does Miss Aozaki still take on private detective work?"

Little Sakura asked.

"Her agency accepts many commissions; you could say it's a jack-of-all-trades."

The group went to Garan no Dou again, and just then Aozaki Touko was eating lunch; the doll-user Miss holding instant noodles received everyone.

"Miss Aozaki can't do it either?"

After understanding the situation, Aozaki Touko showed a troubled expression, and Karen saw it and asked.

"Not that I can't, it's just that I'm personally not good at finding people; I need to find a professional finder."

"Find who?"

"Ran's mother."

"Who is that?"

"She is a fortune teller with top-tier Future Sight, active in this city. However, to find her, she must be willing to see us."

"Where is she?"

Broly asked.

"She is generally at..."

Aozaki Touko spoke the location where Ran's mother conducted business, and Broly flew out holding a city map.

After arriving at the place, he saw a plump woman dressed as a witch.

She had set up a simple divination table and was sitting in a dark dead end.

Broly fell from the sky.

The rather plump Ran's mother saw him but showed little surprise.

"I know what you want from me, but unfortunately, I cannot use divination to find the person you want me to find. However, Fate has already made arrangements; you should have answers after you return..."

Ran's mother spoke first, and upon seeing the boy continue walking toward her, she quickly changed her words: "Alright, alright, I'll go with you, but I don't want you to carry me while flying awkwardly in the sky."

Ran's mother said, then moved her bulky body and plopped onto the divination table. "Phew, I'm ready. You can carry my table and take me back in this dignified manner."

This person seemed to have activated a precognition cheat, completely foreseeing Broly's arrival and his intention to forcibly take her away.

"If I hadn't confirmed this future was unavoidable, I really wouldn't want to open this stall today!"

Ran's mother sighed, and Broly carried her along with the divination table through the air, transporting her back to Garan no Dou.

When they returned to Garan no Dou, the people in the agency were discussing who might be the culprit who kidnapped Ryougi Shiki.

Facing the mysterious disappearance case, Kanata proposed an investigative approach: to screen out all targets with a motive to act against Ryougi Shiki.

However, there were far too many suspects, such as Magic Eye Hunters, and also Demon Extermination Forces...

When Broly returned, he just happened to hear the names of some factions with a motive to kidnap Ryougi Shiki.

At the same time, all factions mentioned by Aozaki Touko that possessed powerful divination or Future Sight abilities suddenly felt a sense of impending doom.

No need to doubt; the source of this feeling was Broly. If the kidnapper of Ryougi Shiki could not be found, then the Saiyan boy absolutely did not mind taking on every faction in this world that might have kidnapped Ryougi Shiki.

Force a confession, or if they couldn't find the person, wipe out all those factions.

"Broly, calm down. Speaking of which, can't you go through the Crystal Palace to find Shiki?"

After Rin Tohsaka saw that the boy had such an intention, she stepped forward to stop him, but ended up asking a question.

"Targets who aren't Official Members of the Crystal Palace don't have positioning functions."

Broly had already tried using the Crystal Palace to find someone, but unfortunately received a denial from the Crystal Palace.

Only targets who are already Official Members of the Crystal Palace can be positioned.

Furthermore, the other party, as an Official Member, must be willing to share their location with him.

Everyone in the agency looked toward Ran's mother.

"Don't look at me, I don't know where the person you're looking for is."

Ran's mother said while waving her hand.

"Then what use are you?"

Broly got a bit angry.

"You're the one who insisted on bringing me here. I only saw a bit of this in my own future, and I was afraid of getting beaten, so I didn't resist."

Ran's mother was a bit helpless. Being able to see the future is sometimes a troublesome thing, especially when you see a certain future but cannot change it.

Fortunately, in this current future, it won't cost her life. If she cooperates well, she might not even get hurt.

"As for what use I am, my use is probably just to count down for you. For example, right now: 3, 2, 1..."

Ran's mother counted down, raising a hand to point at the phone on the office desk.

After the countdown, Aozaki Touko's phone rang.

Aozaki Touko picked up the phone to answer, and by the way pressed the speaker button.

"Aozaki..."

"Aru Ba?"

"You're looking for a girl, right?"

"How do you know?"

"Never mind how I know. You just need to know that I know where she is."

"Where?"

"Tonight, at Xiaochuan Apartments in Mao Jian Ham. I'll tell you after I see you."

After ending the call, Aozaki Touko looked at Ran's mother and asked, "The person who called, is it the kidnapper?"

"I don't know. The future I can see only goes up to here. As for the more distant future, honestly, I can't see it anymore."

Ran's mother told the truth.

"Is it possible that there's a future even your Future Sight, known as God's Eye, cannot see?"

Aozaki Touko was a bit doubtful.

"How could it be impossible? For example, this kid—I can't see his future at all."

Ran's mother chuckled lightly, pointing at Broly as she spoke.

"Then what about my future?"

Aozaki Touke pursued the question.

"I can see the place you'll go to tonight to call that person, but what you'll experience, I don't know."

"The place that person guides you to seems to be isolated from the Outside World. Even my Future Sight cannot penetrate it."

"A Barrier isolating God's Eye's Future Sight? Wait, Araya Souren!"

Aozaki Touko's expression suddenly turned serious.

Araya Souren is a Barrier Master and has had contact with Ryougi Shiki. Plus, the other party pursues the Path to Reach Root, so this suspect was immediately identified.

"By the way, will you send me back?"

At this time, Ran's mother suddenly asked.

But by this time, the Saiyan boy had already taken the map downstairs.

Apparently, he was preparing to go to Xiaochuan Apartments on the Mao Jian Ham side.

"Broly, wait for me."

The others hurriedly followed.

"Do you want to stay here, or go back by yourself?"

Aozaki Touko took a suitcase out of the room, put the agency's cat inside, and then asked Ran's mother.

"I knew it would be like this."

Ran's mother's mouth corner twitched, but she still moved her own divination table. She didn't want to stay in someone else's Magecraft Workshop.

It wasn't even night yet when Broly and his group arrived at Xiaochuan Apartments.

During the daytime, Xiaochuan Apartments was no different from other normal apartments.

Even the Puppets active inside were no different from normal people.

"There's no Qi of Shiki here."

After entering Xiaochuan Apartments, Broly carefully perceived for a while, then said.

"The other party only agreed on a meeting place, they didn't say Shiki is here."

Aozaki Touko was a bit helpless.

"Where is the person who called?"

Broly pursued the question.

"I don't know. The other party was just a former classmate of mine, and we haven't been in contact for a long time since graduating from the Clock Tower."

"You just mentioned Araya Souren. Was it that guy who kidnapped Ryougi Shiki?"

"Based on the current situation, it's very likely the other party."

"Where is the other party?"

Broly didn't ask about the kidnapping reason at all; he only wanted to know where the other party was.

"I don't know."

Aozaki Touko shook her head.

"Right now, Aru Ba is the only clue we have; we can only wait until we see the other party tonight."

Broly had no choice either; this event CG couldn't be skipped at all, so he could only wait until sunset at Xiaochuan Apartments.

In the evening, he found a restaurant nearby to have dinner, and also sent a dinner to Fujimura Taiga.

After returning, Broly, just like in the afternoon, was staring at the Crystal Palace panel.

And on Ryougi Shiki's panel, the Happiness Value that hadn't changed all day made his mood somewhat bad.

"Broly-gege, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing him somewhat silent, Xiao Sakura bought a drink and came over to ask.

"I'm thinking, if Shiki Ryougi is killed, what should I do."

Broly told the truth.

"It won't happen; Shiki-jie definitely will be fine."

Xiao Sakura comforted him.

"But if something really happens, Broly, what will you do?"

Karen was somewhat curious and asked it out.

"I will leave a place, pick you all and your families over there, and then clean this planet from beginning to end, to ensure no individual existence threatening your lives remains."

Broly answered seriously.

"Clean the whole planet from beginning to end; how do you plan to clean it?"

Aozaki Touko leaned against the wall beside smoking; after hearing the boy's words, she felt somewhat interesting and started asking.

"With this."

Broly opened his palm; an Energy Bullet gathered in the center of his palm.

The Energy Bullet wasn't very bright, but Aozaki Touko felt a Great Terror from it.

The Magic Doll swallowed saliva, and couldn't help but pursue asking: "Something like this, how many can you make?"

"I don't know, but cleaning this planet once should be no problem."

The Two Great Suppressive Forces, oh no, should say only Alaya, at this moment had some pressure like a mountain.

"If not for Rin and Xiao Sakura and them needing to continue surviving on this planet, I would consider destroying this planet outright."

Alaya: If ninety-nine percent of Renwulei perish, then the remaining one percent of Renwulei also don't need to live anymore; I will perish together with you.

Gaia:...

The wind near Xiaochuan Apartments strangely stopped for a while; after the Two Great Suppressive Forces reached a consensus, it started blowing again.

Aru Ba, who originally wanted to stroll outside for a while, suddenly had a whim, leading a Poodle and walking toward Xiaochuan Apartments ahead of time.

"Oh my, Aozaki, you've already come over this early?"

The Magic Doll young lady sweating on her forehead, after hearing her old classmate's voice, suddenly felt a sense of surviving a calamity.

"Aru Ba, you've finally come!"
