My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

The Yasuda Zaibatsu learned of their existence 30 years ago and, with the help of a traitor, exterminated their entire clan. Although it was called an extermination, there were only a dozen or so people left in the clan.

After their clan was wiped out, the Yasuda Zaibatsu began searching the world for children with the potential to become 'superpowered individuals'. They then secretly trained these children to become destroyers through methods such as disappearances and adoptions. These children were tasked with dirty work, destroying the consciousness of their opponents, and turning them into idiots.

However, people qualified as 'Destroyers' are very rare; there are fewer than 10 people with superpowers in the entire 'Company'.

Later, one of the fewer than 10 destroyers mastered the method of modifying memories through 'imagery'.

The Yasuda Zaibatsu discovered this ability and their fear of these superpowered individuals turned into terror. They also mentally despised them, calling these superpowered individuals who possessed the ability to modify memories "pets," meaning that they would only be pets they kept for life.

Therefore, "pet" specifically refers to a person who can infiltrate the human brain and manipulate memories.

The more the Yasuda Zaibatsu utilizes the power of Pet, the more they fear that power.

To be on the safe side, the Yasuda Zaibatsu remotely controlled the yakuza organization "Company," exploiting the special bond between these individuals—the inheritance of imagery—to ruthlessly manipulate their aspirations and control them at will.

At the same time, maintain absolute mystery and prevent the pet from getting close to you.

Because this force was so immense and outrageous, even within the Yasuda Zaibatsu, only the head of the family and a very few elders knew of their existence.

Furthermore, in order to prevent the abilities of the pet from being leaked, the Yasuda Zaibatsu will not use the pet's power against forces of the same level unless absolutely necessary, thus reducing the risk of exposure.

However, in Hui's eyes, the so-called "pet" is probably only at the level of psychological manipulation, at most level 1 or 2.

This is not conclusive!

Hmm—?! Hui knew from Akihiko Yasuda's memories that a pet had recently gone missing.

Later, thanks to the Yasuda family's powerful intelligence capabilities, it was learned that they were connected to the National Security Agency and Area 11 in the United States.

'Pet has already been exposed to the Japanese higher-ups and the Americans!' Hui was shocked.

This is not good news for Hui.

'Damn it, these useless fools have made the world aware of the existence of supernatural abilities! What a disgrace! Will they ever consider: if Pets exist, is it possible that even more powerful beings with superpowers exist?'

'No, I must find a way to improve my abilities. I can't be satisfied with level 4; I must advance to level 5. I am a Void Soul; I can improve my abilities simply by devouring souls. I don't need to use mysterious methods like drugs, rays, or electricity like Misaki Shokuhou did.'

"According to my calculations, my soul's mass is now 500 million times that of an ordinary person. 'Times' sounds too harsh; based on the way souls are counted in the infinite-dimensional world, I'll use 'strings' as the unit."

The mass of a human soul is equal to 1 string.

A soul with 1000 million strings is level 5. Although it is the weakest level 5, it is still level 5!

A soul with a mass of 1 million strings is considered level 6, or divine soul!

At that time, one's soul will be elevated to a divine soul, becoming a god, and the body will be freed from the death limit. It only needs information and energy to survive. Although it is the weakest god, it can do whatever it wants in this world without any mystery!

The fate of the remaining 500 million strings requires further consideration.

As for why the pet, which could only be controlled by the heads and elders of the Yasuda family throughout the generations, would serve Yasuda Eiji.

The reason is that Akihiko Yasuda doesn't want to give up his child with Shiba Norimi. Since ordinary methods can no longer change Eiji Yasuda, what about superpowers?

Therefore, in order to conceal the fact that he was actually the pet's superior, Akihiko Yasuda deliberately hired the most capable pet in the "company" through a commission, asking him to try to rewrite Eiji Yasuda's already ruined personality.

Pets distort people's perceptions of "mountains" and "valleys" through "imagery," thereby rewriting memories. And altered memories can, to a certain extent, change one's personality.

The so-called 'mountain' sounds profound to these ability users, but in Hui's eyes, it is actually the earliest memory that forms all of a person's current memories, personality, and emotions, usually representing the most beautiful scene in a person's life.

And the 'valley' represents the most painful and unforgettable scene in a person's life.

Because the pet can only change the memory scene of some key nodes, if the change is too big or the memory after the change is contradictory and creates a logical conflict, then the person may recall the original memory, or the brain may fall into a logical dead end and become an idiot.

Ultimately, it's just that the pet has at most level 2 capabilities, and it can't perform very large-scale calculations.

If we compare the brain to computer hardware and the soul to a system, then: a pet cannot delete a system and then write a new one without affecting its operation; while a level 4 wisdom can do this in a few days, and even faster at level 5.

Under Akihiko Yasuda's insistence, the "company" pet tried its best, but it failed without a doubt, and Akihiko Yasuda almost went crazy.

Terrified, Akihiko Yasuda ordered the pets to leave but didn't let them erase Eiji Yasuda's memories, because he was afraid Eiji would really become an idiot.

Looking at Eiji Yasuda after he woke up, and thinking of the deceased Kimi Shiba, Akihiko Yasuda revealed the truth to Eiji Yasuda.

Including: the truth about his own mother's death.

This includes: how Yasuda Yoshimi ruined him, and that his most beloved person was his mother, etc.

include······

Eiji Yasuda couldn't believe that Yoshimi's mother would treat him like this. Although he knew he was a scumbag and an incurable bastard, deep down he was filled with affection for Yoshimi Yasuda, who had raised and doted on him since childhood.

Later, when Yasuda Eiji saw Yasuda Yoshimi's undisguised hatred for him, he had to accept the fact that his most beloved mother deeply loathed him, while his least favorite father truly loved him.

What an ironic life! For the first time, Eiji, who had committed countless evil deeds, wondered if this was retribution for his wickedness, and whether his life truly had any meaning. He even wondered if he should never have been born.

After a brief moment of 'self-reflection,' Yasuda Eiji's true nature as a scoundrel was revealed. He was filled with hatred, but his cowardly and bullying nature prevented him from confronting his mother and two older brothers directly.

Especially after learning about the Pets, a group of capable individuals, his intelligence began to work.

Everyone in Japan's upper class knows that he likes Kana Kujo, but what they don't know is that Kana Yasuda likes her second brother, Toshiaki Yasuda.

This story begins in my childhood:

At that time, the Yasuda family and the Kujo family had a good relationship, so the children from both families started playing together.

Eiji Yasuda first met Kana Kujo when she was 9 years old. Kana Kujo had two big, dark eyes, like two black grapes, shining brightly.

Her thin eyebrows resembled two small, curved moons.

Her lips were bright red, like the color of a rose, a vivid, deep red.

At home, he was not liked by his older brother and other children his age. The other children in the family who had separated from him simply fawned over him. Coupled with the "education" of Yasuda Yoshimi, Yasuda Eiji felt extremely lonely.

However, Kana Kujo's lively and energetic nature, along with her radiant smile, made Eiji Yasuda feel as if he had found his angel.

In an incident where a hunting dog on the estate escaped its leash, Eiji Yasuda committed an unforgivable mistake:

When he, Kana Kujo, and Toshiaki Yasuda were threatened by the hunting dogs, Kana Kujo was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and wet her skirt, while Eiji Yasuda was so frightened that he ran away. Only Toshiaki Yasuda stood in front of Kana Kujo.

It was this action that won Yasuda Toshiaki Kujo Kana's heart!

Although Yasuda Toshiaki did this simply because his mother taught him that a real man should be brave, upright, and strong, and should take responsibility, never abandoning the weak and running away...

He was forced to become "obsessed" with his mother's education and had no time or energy to consider any romantic feelings such as liking or affection.

Eiji Yasuda's decision to run away was also a lesson constantly instilled in him by Yoshimi Yasuda: when faced with something impossible or obviously difficult, just protect yourself; running away is a biological instinct and not shameful...

Afterwards, Eiji Yasuda tried everything to make amends, but Kana Kujo remained indifferent to him.

With the ability of a pet, Eiji Yasuda felt that he could finally make amends for his childhood regrets and also take revenge on Toshiaki Yasuda.

Killing two birds with one stone!!

Eiji Yasuda applauded his own intelligence.

While Akihiko Yasuda was away, Eiji Yasuda used a trick to issue an order to the "company," instructing them to rewrite Kana Kujo's memories. He replaced the person who saved Kana Kujo at a crucial point in her childhood with himself, and had Akihiko Yasuda escape in her place. As a result, the person Kana Kujo liked changed from Akihiko Yasuda to Eiji Yasuda.

This is no challenge for pet, because Kana Kujo's 'mountain' is too obvious.

As expected, although the ability was full of flaws in Hui's eyes, it was like God's authority when it came to these ordinary people. The 'Company' sent someone to successfully rewrite Kujo Kana's memories, changing the tall figure standing in front of her in her childhood memories from Yasuda Toshiaki to Yasuda Eiji.

This led to the bizarre scene at the banquet!

Chapter 21 Engagement

After understanding everything.

Hui suddenly lost interest!

Because Eiji Yasuda is someone who has nothing left and is utterly worthless.

He had no one he cherished, nothing he treasured. Even Yasuda Akihiko, who truly loved him, was someone he felt no affection for because of Yasuda Yoshimi.

At the same time, he had no life goals or pursuits.

It's practically a living corpse!

For this kind of person, death might be a relief!

However, recalling the original owner's experiences, Hui murmured softly:

Eiji, I originally wanted to make you suffer endless torment and wish you were dead.

However, since you are so pathetic.

So,···

"...You should just die!"

Hui began her preparations.

Even if you love Kana Kujo so much, then let me love her even more, to the point of undying devotion.

As for Kana Kujo and Toshiaki Yasuda, I'm sorry for taking advantage of you!

But don't worry! You two will be together even in death! I can guarantee that!

Of course, for Hui, love is something that can be created if it doesn't exist, and it can guarantee that it will last until the end of time!

···

After refining the details, Hui left the hall and walked outside, unnoticed by anyone.

After Hui left the Tokyo hotel, in the monitoring room:

A group of elites painstakingly erased all traces of Hui; once the erasure was complete, it was as if time itself began to flow again…

"Akagi, how about we sneak out and see Miss Kujo with our own eyes?" the young man asked.

"Hey, you have to be serious and focused during work hours, and no slacking off is allowed!" a young man named Akagi replied.

"Okay, work, work! Have we found anything unusual? With us here, not even a fly can sneak in. Ah, how lonely it is to have no rivals! I really envy rich people! They can hold birthday parties with the security level of state banquets! When I'm rich, I'll try it too!" the young man said longingly.

"Then you should go to sleep!" Akagi said.

"Hey, that's going too far! This is my ideal, my ideal, you know? As a person, you should have lofty aspirations! Are you even listening?" the young man retorted.

···

In the lobby after Hui left:

After Kujo Kana and Yasuda Eiji finished their dance, Yasuda Eiji continued to hold Kujo Kana's hand tightly, with an expression of infatuation on his face.

But Kana Kujo seemed to understand something and forcefully broke free from his grasp. Just then, a refined, elegant, and handsome young stranger stepped between them and extended an invitation to Kana Kujo:
