Tokyo: Magical Girl Shatters My Dream of Going Public

Chapter 73 She stole her sister's life... (7/10)

Chika emerged from the tunnel entrance, her combat suit torn in several places, her cheeks covered in dust, but her eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.

She spotted Kurokawa at a glance.

Half of his combat suit was charred and torn, and his exposed skin was covered with burn marks and bloody wounds. He swayed as he stood.

"President—!"

She rushed over and caught his nearly collapsing body, her voice strained.

"Are you alright?! You're so badly injured—"

Kurokawa waved his hand, using her strength to steady himself, and said breathlessly, "I'm fine. I won't die for now."

He took a deep breath, suppressing the taste of blood in his throat; time was of the essence.

Turning to the combat geisha standing silently to the side, she quickened her pace: "Kaoru, proceed according to plan. Whether we can get away with this—it's up to you."

The battle dancer nodded slightly, and Kaoru's voice came through the speaker, clear and steady: "Okay."

As soon as the words were spoken, the light in the doll's eyes went out, and it froze in place.

The connection has been severed.

With Chika's help, Kurokawa pulled out his phone and quickly dialed a virtual number.

After the call connected, he only gave the coordinates and the words "seriously injured" before hanging up.

The emergency services weren't called for him.

It's for the sky to flash.

After doing all that, he turned his head and whispered to Qianxia, ​​who was supporting him, "Let's go back. We need to be quick."

Chika bit her lip, nodded, and turned to carry Kurokawa on her back.

Tentacles emerged from behind her, wrapped around his waist and legs, and then exerted force.

Whoosh!

The two transformed into a blur, speeding along the rugged mountain path towards the inn.

As dawn broke, there was a knock on their door.

A mature male voice came from outside the door: "Hello, Mr. Kurokawa Yoru, are you staying in this room?"

The room was completely silent.

A few seconds later, it knocked again.

"Mr. Kurokawa?"

After waiting a while, a slightly sleepy girl's reply came from inside the door: "————Who is it?"

"Police. There was a stabbing incident in the area last night, and we need to get some information from you."

"Please, please wait a moment!"

After a rustling sound, the door opened a crack.

Kaoru was dressed in a neat yukata, her hair slightly disheveled, and her eyes held a bewildered look, as if she had just been woken up.

Two men in police uniforms were standing outside the door.

The younger one had a straight posture, while the older one had sharp eyes, and the epaulets indicated that he held a high rank.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Xun asked politely.

Their gazes swept over her shoulder, quickly scanning the room for one or three quilts laid out on the tatami mats.

Two beds were placed close together, while another bed was three or four meters away.

Each blanket was bulging in the shape of a human, as if they were still fast asleep.

Xun subtly shifted her feet, blocking the view without leaving a trace.

"What happened?"

The older police officer looked away and said matter-of-factly, "Routine questioning. Did you hear or see anything unusual last night?"

Xun shook her head: "No. It's just that the thunder was a bit loud, so I didn't sleep well."

Her tone was natural, but tinged with displeasure at being woken up.

The young policeman pretended to take notes, while the older one asked, "Where are your parents?"

Xun glanced back and said, "Uncle worked late the day before yesterday and is still resting."

"Could you please ask him to get up? We need to ask him a few questions."

"This...isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Xun looked troubled. "Uncle is really tired—"

The older police officer's face darkened: "The injured person is receiving emergency treatment. Cooperating with the investigation is a civic duty."

The atmosphere became slightly tense.

Just then—

"What's all the noise about?!"

The blanket on the inside of the bed moved.

Kurokawa rubbed his eyes and sat up, his hair disheveled and his face still sleepy.

The two "police officers" were both stunned.

Xun quickly apologized, "Uncle, they said there was an assault incident and wanted to ask about the details—"

Kurokawa clicked his tongue impatiently, threw back the covers, and got up.

Her yukata was loosely tied, revealing a small patch of her chest, and her feet were on the tatami mat.

He walked to the doorway, but stopped at the edge of the shadows, half of his body hidden in the darkness.

"What is it?" His voice was hoarse, heavy with sleepiness.

Their gazes quickly swept over his cheek, which was smooth and undamaged.

There were no marks.

The older policeman narrowed his eyes and repeated the question.

Kurokawa yawned, "I was sleeping soundly, I didn't hear anything. You guys should ask somewhere else."

The two of them stared at him for a few more seconds.

The collar of the yukata was loose, and there were no bruises or bandages on the exposed skin.

He walked naturally, showing no signs of injury.

—Could the intelligence be wrong?

The older policeman's eyes flickered, but he finally nodded: "Sorry to bother you."

"It's nothing." Kurokawa waved his hand and turned to walk back.

The door closed.

The footsteps gradually faded into the distance.

Xun slowly exhaled and gently locked the door.

Almost simultaneously—

Kurokawa swayed and stumbled forward.

"President!" Xun hurriedly helped him up and supported him as he slowly sat back down on the bed.

Cold sweat beaded on Kurokawa's forehead, and a streak of bright red seeped from the edge of the foundation used to conceal his wounds.

"The wound has reopened—I'll remove it for you right away." Xun's voice was strained.

"Wait." Kurokawa pressed her hand down, his breathing slightly rapid. "—Be careful of a surprise attack."

Xun bit her lower lip.

Kurokawa had previously stated that after he defeated Tensou, the relevant departments would immediately come to investigate.

I didn't expect these people to be so fast, and they even impersonated police officers...

Kurokawa's forced composure gradually crumbled, cold sweat seeped from his forehead and soaked his temples.

"Let me lie down for a while," he said in a hoarse voice.

Xun immediately helped him slowly lie back down in bed.

She knelt beside him, watching his breathing become heavier and his brows furrowed in pain.

The backlash from the 200% overload, even with the [Recovery Enhancement] trait forcibly repairing it, is now impacting every nerve and organ like a tidal wave.

Excruciating pain was tearing Kurokawa's consciousness apart.

At this moment, Kaoru remained silent for a moment before finally speaking softly: "President—do you intend to kill the magical girl [Sky Flash]?"

Kurokawa turned his gaze to her.

I don't understand why Xun suddenly brought this up.

His brain was working at lightning speed—

Qianxia admires Tianshan; this was something he knew from the very first day he met Qianxia.

Xun hated Tian Shan, and he had known this for a long time.

But she's a complete sister-obsessed person.

Even if she hates him, she would restrain herself because of her sister's wishes, right?

Is the sudden question you're asking now an attempt to plead for Tian Shan?

Kurokawa was silent for a few seconds, then replied in a hoarse voice, "I have some personal grievances with her, which I cannot elaborate on. If you wish to plead for her—"

"no."

Xun interrupted him, her voice soft yet sharp: "If you're going to kill her, then let me join you."

Kurokawa's pupils suddenly contracted.

He propped himself up, staring intently at Kaoru: "—Why?"

Xun's lips trembled, as if she were trying to dig out a secret that had been buried for too long from her throat.

She lowered her eyes and clenched her hands tightly on her thighs.

A few seconds later, she finally raised her face and said, word by word, "She stole my sister's life."

Kurokawa frowned, not understanding what this meant: "Stealing—Chinatsu's life?"

"Um."

Xun nodded, and her next words were like a thunderclap.

"Actually, a year ago, the one who should have become a magical girl was my older sister."

"But she took it from me."

Kurokawa's breath hitched, and shock flashed in his eyes.

"What did you say?!"
