Chapter 391

Tenkō Kisara took the Seven Star Relic and went to the Office of Directors to request an audience with the Holy Son of Heaven, and Broly and the others, as members of the agency who had completed the commission, went along as well.

Inside the meeting hall, Broly saw the White-haired Holy Emperor from television, and the other party's voice was the same as the one that had refused him yesterday — cold, without much fluctuation; paired with those exquisite features, she seemed just like a doll without emotions.

"President Tenkō truly lives up to being Advisor-sama's granddaughter, completing the commission this quickly, and by a single company at that."

"Holy Son of Heaven-sama jests; my relationship with my grandfather is well known. Being able to complete your commission this quickly is entirely thanks to my company's capable operatives."

"I know — Mr. Satomi Rentaro, Miss Aihara Enju, and……"

Her gaze stopped on Broly; in the information obtained from the investigation, there was no existence of this boy.

"This is Broly, who newly joined our agency, and he is precisely the meritorious contributor who completed this commission."

Tenkō Kisara introduced him, not stinting her praise in the slightest.

"Mm."

The Holy Son of Heaven nodded slightly, and was about to settle the commission with the Tenkō Agency.

"Holy Son of Heaven-sama, pardon my offense, but the Seven Star Relic — what exactly is it?"

After Tenkō Kisara handed over the box, she inquired.

"This is inconvenient to reveal."

The Holy Son of Heaven shook her head, refusing to reveal information about the Seven Star Relic.

"When we obtained the Seven Star Relic, we also acquired a piece of intelligence……"

Seeing this, Tenkō Kisara told the intelligence that Hiruko Kagetane had been hired.

"Hired……"

The Holy Son of Heaven's complexion turned grave.

After pondering for a while, she had the people beside her move some distance away, then asked: "Can I trust you, Miss Tenkō?"

"Of course; our agency has always kept client intelligence confidential."

Tenkō Kisara nodded in reply.

"The Seven Star Relic is a medium that attracts Stage Five Deuterostomes."

"What?"

"I originally thought it was merely that person's retaliatory behavior against society, but now that we have the intelligence of his being hired, the situation is no longer simple."

"What is a Stage Five Deuterostome?"

Aihara Enju was somewhat confused.

"It is the strongest Deuterostome in the world in terms of evolutionary stage, called the Zodiac Palace by the world, and they are precisely the culprits who once destroyed this world."

Satomi Rentaro explained to the girl with a grave complexion.

"The madman's behavior and the circumstance of being hired are two different meanings; the former is an extremist's individual crazy behavior, the latter likely means someone wants to use the Seven Star Relic to destroy the current Tokyo Safe Zone."

Tenkō Kisara supplemented from the side.

"Unknown; do you know the identity of the employer behind that person?"

The Holy Son of Heaven pursued the question.

"The other party didn't say, and since we wanted to safely bring back the Seven Star Relic, we didn't entangle with them too much."

Satomi Rentaro explained.

"Then, President Tenkō, I wish to hire your agency in a private capacity to secretly investigate the truth behind this matter; the reward is one hundred million. I wonder if your agency can accept this commission of mine?"

The Holy Son of Heaven followed up immediately.

"Entrusting such an important matter to a civilian agency like ours — is that really alright?"

Tenkō Kisara did not agree directly, but asked.

"I have held the position of Holy Son of Heaven for less than a year; there are still some unclear areas regarding certain departments of the national organs, and this matter is too important — it would be improper to mobilize them."

Tenkō Kisara understood; the other party's subordinates probably had few trustworthy people, to the extent that this Holy Son of Heaven would rather outsource the investigation to a civilian agency.

At the very least, they who had retrieved the Seven Star Relic could prove that they were absolutely not in league with the mastermind who hired Hiruko Kagetane.

"Leave this matter to us; however, since it involves investigative intelligence work, our agency may need to enter and exit some official departments……"

"No problem; I can temporarily issue your agency some official credentials for Special Investigator status."

"We will not disappoint Holy Son of Heaven-sama's expectations."

In this way, the Tenkō Agency hooked up with the new Holy Son of Heaven; if operated properly, a meteoric rise was not a dream.

"Then I shall look forward to the performance of Miss Tenkō and the person behind you."

The Holy Son of Heaven spoke with hidden meaning, and shook hands with Tenkō Kisara.

As expected, in the face of a scheme that might destroy Tokyo District, even forces within the Army would temporarily set aside excessive ambitions, willing to advance and retreat together with her, the nominal national leader.

"Right, Holy Son of Heaven-sama; my agency's staff have a bit of a small trouble here, and I would like to request your help."

After shaking hands, Tenkō Kisara spoke again.

"What trouble, and how can I help?"

The White-haired Holy Emperor became somewhat vigilant, not directly agreeing to help.

"The situation is like this; my Initiator……"

Satomi Rentaro stepped forward and told the White-haired Holy Emperor about sending Aihara Enju to an ordinary person's school to study, and the current situation of her Cursed Children identity being exposed.

"This kind of situation is not convenient for me to step forward and help resolve, but I can have the Attendants beside me go and give a greeting to the people at the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology."

A school — whether public or private, which one isn't afraid of its top management department? The Holy Son of Heaven couldn't properly step forward to handle such a trivial matter, but wanting to resolve it wasn't difficult either.

On the Kōda Elementary School side, because the campus security guards were beaten down, and school teachers and students also suffered harm, the elementary school principal was in a towering rage.

"Even if the other party entered through Director Sima's connections, so what? Such a vicious incident occurred — could it be they still want our school to continue harboring that Cursed Child?"

"Dismissal, we must dismiss that student, and make the assailant apologize; otherwise we'll call the police to handle it. We cannot let the students' parents lose confidence in our Kōda Elementary School!"

At noon, at the Kōda Elementary School emergency meeting, the principal spoke these words with such righteous rhetoric.

"Yes, I'm the principal of Kōda Elementary School. Uh, our school had an incident involving a Cursed Child enrolling. Er, you're officials from the Ministry of Education. What? His Holiness the Holy Son of Heaven is paying some attention to this matter..."

In the afternoon, in the principal's office, watching the Holy Son of Heaven's advocated Gastritis New Law on television, this elementary school principal broke out in a cold sweat.

Some things, when big shots aren't paying attention, how to act is naturally considered by the social environment itself. But now being secretly watched by a big shot, if I still don't know what's good for me, then my position as this elementary school principal is over.

I might even be made to wear small shoes, be made things difficult for, and even worse, being locked up for several years isn't impossible.

"Teacher Takeuchi, regarding this morning's matter, I must severely criticize you..."

In the afternoon, Kōda Elementary School held another temporary teachers' meeting. The male teacher who was slapped in the morning was publicly reprimanded by the elementary school principal.

"His Holiness the Holy Son of Heaven is advocating the Gastritis New Law, yet you don't watch any current affairs news at all, and actually still carry out that set of discriminating against Cursed Children.

You made your class's students unite to exclude such a pitiful child. Do you know this is serious dereliction of duty, that you're unqualified as a teacher?!"

"Ah?!"

The bespectacled male teacher who was reprimanded stared with his mouth open.

"Ah what ah. What's most important now is to resolve this misunderstanding and soothe the discriminated students."

"But, sir, you said at noon you wanted to report it to the police?"

"Report what to the police? This is just a conflict between students. Do you want to turn a small matter into a big one?"

"But what about the parents of the beaten student..."

"You must soothe them well, communicate privately with those children's parents, make them understand our school is an excellent elementary school closely following the state's new policies, a place that cultivates the future pillars of this country..."

The principal of Kōda Elementary School, in his speech at the temporary meeting, almost wrote the two characters "loyalty" on his face. Before there was no opportunity, but now big shots above are looking this way. If he still doesn't know how to perform, he's not a stupid pig, what is he?

"Then in the future, if other Cursed Children want to enroll in our school, do we still need to use excuses to refuse this kind of child's enrollment?"

An old teacher always responsible for admissions cautiously asked.

"I said, our school must closely follow national policy. If conditions are suitable, then at that time approval isn't impossible."

The elementary school principal said while still leaving some room for maneuver.

Obviously, if at that time the big shots above are still looking this way, then Kōda Elementary School will be an advanced elementary school.

Conversely, if the social wind direction isn't good again, and new laws and new policies change, then their school can only maintain tradition and refuse admission to some children suffering from Red Eye Syndrome.

The mission to recover the Seven Star Relic was completed in the morning. Tenkō Chikunojō received this news at noon and confirmed it. In the evening, while practicing calligraphy alone in the study, a masked man jumped over the courtyard wall of the Assistant Official's Residence and leapt in.

"Why did the mission fail?"

Hiruko Kagetane had just approached the study door when the old man writing calligraphy inside spoke up to ask.

"I encountered an expert. I'm no match for the other party."

Hiruko Kagetane didn't hide it.

"The you who was once ip134 actually isn't a match for a teenager?"

Tenkō Chikunojō looked over with a stern gaze, somewhat doubting Hiruko Kagetane's words.

"I'm not talking about the child you once adopted, but the child who recently joined your granddaughter's agency."

"Who?"

"He's called Broly. I don't know his specific identity, but his strength is above mine and my daughter's."

Hiruko Kagetane said, tossing the box in his hand over.

"The commission wasn't completed. This is the returned commission fee."

Tenkō Chikunojō caught the money box, frowned, and asked: "You're just leaving like that?"

"How so, does Assistant Official Tenkō want to keep me?"

Hiruko Kagetane asked with a smile, releasing the dangerous aura on his body without any concealment.

To him, an old man of high position and great power was nothing.

As long as he wanted to kill, he could strike and kill the other party at any time.

"Old man doesn't want to keep you, but hopes you can continue executing the commission."

The money box was thrown back.

"Hmm?"

"One failure means nothing. Just do it again."

Though said this way, there was actually some helplessness, because among those with strength who would accept summon stage five commissions to destroy Tokyo District, there was only a madman like Hiruko Kagetane, a war maniac with something wrong in his head.

"If that child interferes, I can't complete your commission."

Hiruko Kagetane stated this point in advance.

"I'll investigate that child you mentioned, and then stop him from becoming an obstacle to your commission execution."

"What about that Seven Star Relic? It should have been sent to the Military Detention Center by now, right? My daughter and I can't infiltrate a place guarded by a heavy weapon military force."

"Rest assured. Because of the theft of the Seven Star Relic, His Holiness the Holy Son of Heaven currently doesn't trust the person in charge at the Military Detention Center. The item is now at the Office of Directors, by His Holiness the Holy Son of Heaven's side."

"You want me to assassinate His Holiness the Holy Son of Heaven?"

Hiruko Kagetane asked with a smile. He was very interested in this job.

"His Holiness the Holy Son of Heaven's survival is very important. She is the key to reunifying this country. Your mission is only to take the Seven Star Relic and summon Scorpio. As for the rest, old man doesn't allow you to do it."

"Hmph, spoken so righteously. You old coot just want to manipulate her to gain more power, that's all."

"Old man isn't someone like you can evaluate. Will you do this commission or not?"

"I'll do it, of course I will. This world becomes more chaotic because of ambitious people like you, and that's also what I look forward to seeing."

Hiruko Kagetane left. Tenkō Chikunojō exhaled. Facing such a madman, no one could say what the other party would do.

Tenkō Kisara, his eldest son's granddaughter. He originally thought she, being young and unable to accept her parents' deaths, would gradually become a marginal person of the Tendo Family. Unexpectedly, she reappeared before him, the Tendo Family Head, in this way.

The old man stood up, walked outside, called over a confidant, and had him investigate the situation of the Tenkō Private Police Agency founded by his granddaughter.

On the third day since Broly came to this world, Aihara Enju went to school again; the elementary students who had been beaten yesterday saw her, but they did not come out holding various things to block the girl from entering the teaching building like they had yesterday morning.

"How can your school be like this, letting our children study together with Cursed Children?"

And after entering the teaching building, some parents of the students who had been slapped yesterday came running to block the entrance to the teachers' office, wanting to demand an explanation.

The male teacher tried to explain that this was their Kōda Elementary School responding to the Holy Son of Heaven's call, abiding by the Gastrea New Law which granted Cursed Children the right to enroll as ordinary children, but this kind of explanation could not satisfy the parents whose own children had been slapped.

"What new law or not, we don't know about that; we only know your school let a dangerous monster enter the school, and the other party harmed my child yesterday!"

A burly man parent grabbed the male teacher by the collar and said relentlessly.

"Right, right..."

The parents on the side also joined in the clamor; whether it was their own children being beaten, or the matter of Cursed Children also studying at this school, both made these adults unable to accept it.

The male teacher was very helpless; yesterday he had also been beaten, and both sides of his face still had not subsided today, but pressured by the principal's overbearing authority, he had to persuade the beaten students' parents to settle the matter quietly.

However, how could this matter be so easy to handle; except for one or two parents willing to settle quietly, the other parents all brought their beaten children to the school, wanting the school to give an explanation named reasonable but actually one they could accept.

With the Holy Son of Heaven's help, their side had managed to make Kōda Elementary School change its stance, but the beaten students' parents were not so easy to deal with.

Of course, Broly did not think so; he rolled up his sleeves.

Today, again, was a day of convincing people with reason.

"Smack smack smack..."

"An explanation, right? Is my explanation enough?"

"You fatty said your family died because of Gastrea, so how come there's still a dad of yours here?"

"Only grandpa and grandma died."

The little fatty hurriedly explained.

"Uh, okay then, watch closely, how I'm gonna fan your old man!"

The burly man was held in the boy's hand, completely without any capability to resist, being fanned by the big nostrils.

And on the side, a group of adults had already fallen down, covering their faces and wailing.
