Chapter 383: The Villain's Invitation, Refusing to Be Freeloaded Off!

【Did that girl's companions come to save her?】

Hiding behind a wall pillar, Satomi Rentaro could only think this.

"I don't know her."

But just then, Broly outside denied this.

"Don't think you can deceive me. If you don't know her, why did you come to stop us?"

The middle-aged security guard didn't believe it one bit.

"That's because you spoke ill of red eyes. I don't acknowledge that, so I came down to refute you."

If the other party had described them as 【Monsters】 or 【Demons】, Broly might not have come down.

After all, in his mind, those two words are praise.

However, 【Demon】 has to be ranked lower now, because Aqua Master doesn't like it, but Megumin and the others like it.

Of course, Broly also felt these two went a bit too far, but considering that if strangers came to steal his own food, he might also beat the thief to death, he felt the matter should just end there.

"But you killed my companion."

The middle-aged security guard roared.

"He attacked me first. Or was it you who told him to shoot? I already warned him."

Broly said righteously.

"It's because you attacked me first."

The middle-aged security guard subconsciously tried to absolve himself of possibly being the cause of his companion's death.

"Who told you to keep calling red eyes trash? You asked for this beating. Not killing you is already polite and courteous of me."

Broly shrugged, feeling the responsibility wasn't on him.

"Since you won't let anyone call red eyes trash, you monster brat, even if you're not a Cursed Child, you're a traitor among humans."

As the middle-aged security guard spoke, he lowered his head to check his muzzle, confirmed it was pressed dead against the red-eyed girl's temple, then shouted at the Saiyan boy.

"Now, I have a hostage in hand. So what if I say red eyes are trash?!"

"Wait, I'll say it again. I don't know her."

"You think I'd believe that?"

"Believe it or not. But if you call red eyes trash again, I'll throw you out like trash."

The boy straightened his face and gave a very serious warning.

"Hah, scared now."

But this warning was instead taken by the middle-aged security guard as concern for the hostage in his hand.

【Once I break free from this peril, I'll request support. I must take down this brat who dared kill a security guard.】

Thinking thus, the middle-aged security guard slowly moved his body, but kept facing Broly at all times, warning him: "If you dare move an inch, she's dead."

Broly didn't move. Or rather, he had no intention of acting.

"Heh~"

After shifting his position closer to the front door, the middle-aged security guard looked at the boy who seemed completely afraid to move, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Now, I'll keep saying red eyes are trash. What about it?!"

People don't die unless they seek death. The moment this person finished speaking, Broly disappeared from his original place.

"Bang~"

Seeing an abnormality appear on his retina, the middle-aged security guard subconsciously pulled the trigger.

The gun fired, but the chamber exploded, because the muzzle had already been crushed flat by a small hand.

"Ah!"

The man, in pain, directly let go of the girl who couldn't serve as a hostage at all, clutching his palm injured by the explosion.

The next moment, he was lifted by Broly, his whole person swung around.

"Slap~"

Broly just swung him two circles, then threw this person out like trash.

"Stop!"

Someone shouted this from behind, but the thrown middle-aged security guard's body had already touched the wall.

That was the place where he had kicked the girl to just now.

This person was just like a stuffed garbage bag, looking about the same as after being violently smashed around.

Except the bulletproof vest on the outside, shaped like a garbage bag, was still relatively intact, the stuff packed inside the garbage bag had been smashed to pieces, splattered everywhere.

"Gulp~"

Even though Satomi Rentaro is a Civil Security officer (a special profession in Black Bullet), and has seen no few cruel scenes, he still felt somewhat unwell now.

"Cough cough cough..."

Before the released girl hit the ground, a small foot hooked her and dissipated the force, but because her throat had been strangled just now, she was now lying on the ground coughing.

"Are you okay?"

Broly lowered his head to look at the girl and asked.

"Thank you, for saving me."

The dirty girl coughed, but didn't forget to thank the person who saved her.

And her red eyes, somewhat similar to Megumin, Karen, and the others, gave Broly quite a favorable impression.

Thinking it over, he transmitted a bit of Qi to her.

The girl, whose body ached from the beating, was coughing when she suddenly discovered her body didn't hurt anymore.

"Eh?!"

She was somewhat surprised as she climbed up from the ground.

「yue～」

And after turning back to see the scene behind her, she quickly covered her mouth and began to retch.

「Why do this? 」

Satomi Rentaro asked the boy somewhat angrily.

「You mean this? 」

Broly pointed to where he had thrown the trash and asked.

「Isn't this obvious? 」

After seeing the boy nod, he said this.

「Even if you want to save your companion, you shouldn't massacre a living person like that, right? That's a human being! 」

Satomi Rentaro roared out; his Justice value was not low, and because he arrived late and didn't see the scene of the girl being beaten and nearly shot, he couldn't accept Broly's use of violence to easily massacre humans.

「What nonsense are you talking about? Just now you were hiding behind that pillar, did you hear our conversation? 」

「This guy I threw to death just became like this because he said things he shouldn't have, and I warned him in advance before this; he just couldn't understand human speech and was seeking death in front of me. 」

「What, do you also want to say some things seeking death in front of me, like how Red Eyes are trash? 」

Broly narrowed his eyes at the black-haired boy.

And Satomi Rentaro, who was locked onto by Ki Lock, suddenly felt a chill down his spine, like when he faced Gastrea as a child.

「That kind of talk, how could I possibly say it. 」

Fortunately, as one of the few protagonists of this world who doesn't reject Cursed Children and still treats them as humans, Satomi Rentaro didn't say any words seeking death in front of the Saiyan boy.

「Mm. 」

Broly nodded; since the other party hadn't said anything bad about Red Eyes, he lifted the Ki Lock on the other party.

In an instant, Satomi Rentaro's chilling feeling disappeared, and Broly seemed to become a harmless little boy again.

【Illusion? No, this absolutely isn't an illusion...】

The human-shaped trash thrown to rot was right there over there, the blood scent so clear; this certainly wasn't an illusion.

「By the way, upstairs, you've been watching here since you came over; do you have some opinion you want to tell me? 」

At this moment Broly suddenly raised his head, looking toward the Second Floor Stairs where he had jumped down from, and just happened to meet the gaze of a mysterious person in a Red Suit wearing a smiling Mask.

「I'm truly surprised; you actually detected my Existence. 」

The eyes beneath the Mask widened, but quickly returned to normal; the mysterious person spoke as he jumped down from the Second Floor Stairs.

The movements of landing and dissipating force were without the slightest drag, looking very Flowing.

「Hiruko Kagetane! 」

And after seeing who appeared, Satomi Rentaro directly aimed his Muzzle at the other party.

「Long time no see, Satomi-kun. 」

Hiruko Kagetane greeted politely, and at the same time, as the boy's Muzzle was aimed over, he aimed his own Muzzle at the boy.

「For some reason, from the first time I saw you, I took a liking to you; just now on Commercial Street, after seeing you encounter a Cursed Child being caught by guards, I just happened to come over to see the situation, originally wanting to see what choice you would make after encountering this kind of situation, but unexpectedly encountered something even more interesting. 」

Hiruko Kagetane explained the reason why he was here, and the gaze beneath the Mask shifted onto Broly.

「boy, what's your name? 」

「Broly. 」

「A good name; do you also think the world filled with injustice toward Cursed Children is wrong? 」

Hiruko Kagetane asked.

「Uh, I just came to This World, and I'm not clear about the situation of your world. 」

Broly told the truth.

「Haha, please don't joke.

The trash over there, you really threw it artistically.

Without enough hatred for that kind of guy, it's hard to throw them out. 」

Hiruko Kagetane gave extremely high evaluation to Broly's method of throwing trash.

「The other party was too fragile; I just casually threw them. 」

And regarding Broly's explanation like this, Hiruko Kagetane simply didn't believe it.

Broly: 「... 」

He only felt that the people of this world, couldn't they understand human speech?

Clearly able to communicate, but felt somewhat unable to get through.

「I don't care about your identity and origin; how about it, Broly boy, are you interested in joining me, and joining hands with me to change this world? 」

Hiruko Kagetane extended an Invitation to the boy.

「I just came to find a wife... 」

Broly's words hadn't finished speaking when he was Interrupted.

「You bastard, don't even think about using words to Bewitch others! 」

Satomi Rentaro shouted.

「Sorry, I was busy asking him and forgot to ask you, Satomi-kun, are you interested in joining me? 」

Hiruko Kagetane asked the boy again.

「Who would join you? 」

「Aren't you here to save that girl? 」

Hiruko Kagetane asked somewhat surprised.

Watching the Guard Corps men arrest the Cursed Children and still follow along, this was itself an attitude; he felt Satomi Rentaro was the same as him, a person who felt this world's existence was mistaken.

And Broly, who had already directly moved to kill the guards, was even more beyond unnecessary to say — this boy had clearly indicated he stood with the red eyes.

"I came to save her, but this has nothing to do with refusing your invitation, you terrorist!"

"Really nothing to do with it? The guards brought the captured Cursed Children to this kind of remote abandoned building; don't tell me you really don't know what they intend to do."

Hiruko Kagetane's words made Satomi Rentaro's heart sink; he wasn't a fool, this problem only needed to be thought through deeply, and the result was self-evident.

"Yes, those two guards wanted to kill her; in their hearts, Cursed Children aren't human at all; even though the Tokyo Area's peace and tranquility today owe part of their credit to the Cursed Children who fought alongside you Civil Security, in their hearts Cursed Children are still no different from Gastrea.

These people lack the capability to retaliate against dangerous Gastrea, yet have the capability to vent their resentment toward Gastrea on these pitiable children.

A bunch of bullies who fear the strong and bully the weak, who don't know gratitude; if Broly boy hadn't intervened, letting you witness their atrocities against this child, could you have restrained yourself from moving against them?"

Hiruko Kagetane was very good at stirring people's emotions; Satomi Rentaro was spoken to the point of some wavering, but he quickly steadied his mind.

"What you speak of are things that have not yet occurred, while the atrocity you committed this morning at the Ministry of Defense — chopping off innocent people's heads, killing many in public — that is something that has already happened; you are the true villain, and now I must take you down."

Satomi Rentaro didn't know what choice and action he himself would make upon encountering the scenario Hiruko Kagetane described, but he had the qualifications to become an Axis Cult Believer, understanding to make the choice easiest for himself at the moment.

That was to evade answering the difficult question, choose a question that would let himself answer more easily, to replace Hiruko Kagetane's question.

"As expected, young people have too little experience; a bit hard to convince, huh?"

Hiruko Kagetane snapped his fingers.

"Kohina, first remove his combat ability."

At the second floor stairs, another small girl wearing a Gothic Dress poked her head out.

"Okay, Dad, then chopping off this guy's limbs is no problem, right?"

The small girl revealed a dangerous smile, drawing two Double Blades from her waist.

"As long as you don't kill him, do whatever you want."

【Hiruko Kohina, Happiness Value rising】

"Then what about this one? He doesn't seem to have agreed to your proposal either, Dad; want to chop him up too?"

"Sorry, Broly boy, just now was interrupted; what's your answer?"

"If your daughter is willing to be my wife, helping change the world isn't impossible either."

Broly had little interest in changing a strange world, but great interest in finding a new wife; his gaze grew somewhat burning as he looked at Hiruko Kohina.

And Hiruko Kohina, for the first time, encountered a boy looking at her with this kind of fiery gaze; this made her feel somewhat unaccustomed, so she glared fiercely at the Saiyan boy.

"Careful I dig out your eyes."

She threatened, but her cute little girl appearance really lacked some intimidation.

"You want my daughter to be your wife?"

Hiruko Kagetane was somewhat taken aback; he discussed changing the world's ideals with the boy, yet the boy specified wanting his own daughter as his wife.

This really was a rather unexpected reply.

"Are you serious?"

"Serious."

"Kohina, what do you think? Any interest in marrying the other party, becoming this Broly boy's wife?"

Hiruko Kagetane sought his own daughter's opinion.

"No, I only need Dad by my side; all other guys are surplus."

Kohina directly shook her head, gripped her Double Blades tight; now she only wanted to chop up Broly, because this guy actually wanted to take her ownership from Dad's hands.

"Sorry, my foolish daughter is young; she's still a bit clingy to me right now, yet hasn't prepared to become someone else's bride."

"Uh, alright then."

Rejected, Broly was somewhat disappointed, but didn't insist.

Although Aqua taught him to be shameless, he currently still hadn't obtained his Goddess Master's true transmission.

"So, Broly boy, are you still willing to join me?"

Hiruko Kagetane asked.

"Sorry, my time stranded in this world is limited; I still have to go find a new wife, so I've no leisure to change the world with you."

The Saiyan boy answered this question straightforwardly.

Hiruko Kagetane: "..."

"Then alright; if you change your mind, you can come find me; I'm Hiruko Kagetane, the man who will change this false world in the future."

The dialogue just ended when gunshots rang out; Hiruko Kagetane and Satomi Rentaro fired at each other simultaneously, and simultaneously made the motion of tilting their heads back to dodge bullets.

The Gothic Dress small girl jumped down from the stairwell, brandishing Double Blades to slash at Satomi Rentaro's gun-holding arm, but the youth retreated a step, pulling distance to dodge.

"Don't move randomly, or your head will get chopped off."
