Wield your sword in despair, rise from ruin.

A mysterious chapter is about to begin...

Volume One: The Mechanical Age of Out-of-Control Servant

Stars from the Age of Machines

Actually, the savior just wanted to play single-player: Chapter 1: Heavenly Path Kagura

Kagura Tendou was immersed in the slightly noisy environment around her. It was 3:35 pm. After school, the classroom gradually went from lively to quiet and fell silent.

When most of the students had left, Kagura Tendo stood up and walked out of the classroom.

Just as he was about to leave, someone patted him on the shoulder. He turned around and saw Hiratsuka Shizuka staring at him dangerously, her eyes filled with a terrifying intensity.

Why didn't you come looking for me?

Hiratsuka Shizuka's tone was low and menacing. She had already notified Tendo Kagura to come to the office back at noon, but as expected, she was ignored again.

Where is the teacher's authority?!

Kagura Tendo took two steps back. Hiratsuka Shizuka was too close. He leaned his back against the corridor wall and said calmly, "I forgot."

"Forgot again? This isn't the first time." Hiratsuka Shizuka clenched her fist, her knuckles cracking. As a teacher, she already held the upper hand, and with these suggestive gestures, she instantly amplified the potential threat.

Hiratsuka Shizuka is extremely beautiful and has a voluptuous figure. Wearing a white coat over a black uniform, she is incredibly charming at first glance. Unfortunately, she has been unable to find a partner for various reasons, leading those who know her to wonder if this is a result of her being too violent.

After Hiratsuka finished speaking, she frowned as she looked at Tendo Kagura, whose face remained as calm as ever. Students of this age should be easy to manage because they lack experience and are not mature enough, but in fact, Tendo Kagura had repeatedly gone against her wishes, all for trivial reasons.

For example, forgetting.

She enjoys free fighting, is highly skilled in combat, and has strong observational abilities. She had long noticed that Kagura's behavior when facing her was very natural, without the slightest hint of unease, just like the real Kagura.

However, it's impossible that he would forget his instructions time and time again, so the only explanation is the second one.

...This guy really didn't care much about what she said.

The authoritative authority he held over other students seemed to vanish in the face of Tendou Kagura.

Due to a request from an acquaintance, Hiratsuka Shizuka had noticed Tendo Kagura since the start of the school year. The child had long hair, and his bangs covered his eyes, making it impossible to even see his pupils. When one inadvertently peeked through the gaps and saw his dark gaze, one could feel a strange sense of dread, as if being stared at by a corpse.

Moreover, just by looking at Tendo Kagura, you can feel that gloomy aura.

When I first met him, I thought he was a boy who dressed in an unconventional and unique way and craved the attention of others. This kind of behavior is perfectly normal for a high school student going through puberty.

However, Hiratsuka Shizuka soon realized that Tendo Kagura did not seem to be pretending.

You won't find the restlessness and unease of his peers in him; instead, he's like a deep mountain pool, serene and tranquil.

It's been over a month since school started. My grades are average, neither improving nor declining. I'm always alone and don't have any friends.

Because of this unusual situation, Hiratsuka Shizuka later asked acquaintances and retrieved information about Tendo Kagura, discovering that his parents had passed away and that he had transferred from Tokyo to Chiba after graduating from junior high school.

Losing one's parents should fill one with sensitivity and fear, let alone being in an unfamiliar environment.

Especially in this age group that has just begun to engage with society, even a slight stimulus can cause significant changes.

This means that Tendou Kagura is likely to become decadent as a result, falling from a university student to the bottom of society.

So after learning about Kagura Tendo's situation, Shizuka Hiratsuka kept observing her in secret. In a later conversation, she called Kagura Tendo to her office and subtly hinted that she could seek her help if she encountered any difficulties.

At that time, Kagura Tendo did not express any further opinion, but nodded in agreement, which made Shizuka Hiratsuka think that this was a good start.

But later on, Hiratsuka Shizuka found it difficult to find opportunities to have a dedicated conversation with Tendo Kagura.

In the current situation, conventional methods are useless against Tendo Kagura.

Hiratsuka Shizuka rubbed her thumb and forefinger together, subconsciously reaching for her pocket, but quickly realized what she was doing and pulled her hand back.

"Why are you avoiding me?" Hiratsuka Shizuka asked.

After much thought, this was the only reason she could think of. Perhaps her kindness made him feel uncomfortable, or perhaps her actions hurt his fragile heart?

Hiratsuka Shizuka thought a lot at this point and felt it was necessary to have a special life consultation with Tendo Kagura to gain a deeper understanding of her.

After all, as teachers, in addition to supervising students' academic performance, their mental health is also very important.

Upon hearing Hiratsuka Shizuka's words, Tendo Kagura frowned slightly, but the frown was so subtle that it was difficult to notice, and her face remained expressionless.

He said in a very calm tone, "I'm not hiding, and I'm very grateful for your concern, but I haven't encountered any problems that require my help."

At this point, Tendou Kagura paused and sighed inwardly.

Even if there's a problem, they can't get help from you.

However, he is not good at expressing his inner thoughts and is used to keeping a blank expression, making it difficult for people to know his inner thoughts.

Hiratsuka Shizuka found it somewhat awkward. This answer was already a polite refusal, since it was up to Tendo Kagura to decide whether it was a problem or not. If he didn't think it was a problem, then he wouldn't ask for help from others.

The only way to get Tendo Kagura to say that is to express his gratitude.

Hiratsuka Shizuka wasn't quite sure; she found it difficult to see through Tendo Kagura's thoughts, and sometimes she felt inexplicably like she was meddling in other people's business.

She sighed, raised her hand and placed it on Tendo Kagura's left shoulder, pinching it twice with a force that could cause slight pain.

She arrived in a menacing manner, but a fight was out of the question; she wasn't a violent teacher. At most, she could only threaten her, but Kagura Tendo wasn't swayed by that, so she had to demonstrate her will through her actions.

However, this guy's body is very flexible.

"Come chat with me when you have time," Hiratsuka Shizuka said, letting go of Kagura's hand. She then patted Kagura's shoulder. The angle just now looked like a wall slam, but thankfully there weren't many people left in the classroom.

Kagura Tendo nodded slightly, then turned and walked straight past Shizuka Hiratsuka, leaving without looking back.

Looking at Kagura's retreating figure, Hiratsuka Shizuka knew he didn't care, so she could only sigh again and think of the other students.

They're all problem students, one or two at a time.

Perhaps we should put them together and let them work out against each other.

……

Kagura Tendou left the school gate, walked east, crossed several intersections and entered an alley, and spent ten minutes returning to her current residence.

The building has two floors plus a half-floor loft, a traditional sloping roof, and occupies more than 100 square meters. It has four bedrooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms, and a Japanese-style room. Although it cannot be described as luxurious, it is considered to be of medium standard in Chiba.

This was not Kagura's house, but rather a place she was staying with, and the person she was staying with was her aunt, Yoko Endo.

She was a senior executive at a company, but she was often away on business trips, so the house had been vacant for a long time. After learning about Tendo Kagura's situation, she suggested that he and Ise Suzuka be brought to Chiba.

Things were going smoothly. Both of them were considered a hot potato, especially since they might be carrying nearly ten million in debt.

Two years ago, the two parents died in a car accident caused by drunk driving. They were held fully responsible, and all their inheritance was not enough. After much effort and nearly a year of pursuing the debt, it was clear that a minor could not repay the debt, and the matter was eventually dropped.

He understood perfectly well that this was a deserved punishment. Kagura's mother, in her youth, knew how to use her beauty to attract wealthy men and enjoy pleasure, ultimately leading to Kagura's birth. As her youth faded, although she could use cosmetics to prolong her beauty, it wasn't a long-term solution, so she decided to find herself a home.

Fortunately, she knew she was a mother and didn't see Tendo Kagura as a burden. After several twists and turns, she found Ise Suzuka's father, who was equally unreliable and also looking for a home.

The two obtained a marriage certificate, which is the Japanese marriage certificate. Then, Suzuka Ise's father got carried away and drank some alcohol. On his way back from the yamen (government office), he died a violent death.

Kagura Tendou used her key to open the door, changed her shoes in the entryway, went around the corner, opened the refrigerator, took out the ingredients one by one, and began to prepare them for today's dinner.

As it approached six o'clock and darkness fell, the door was carefully pushed open.

Suzuka Ise, carrying her schoolbag, gently stepped through the gate.

Suzuka Ise is thirteen years old. She is thin and looks somewhat malnourished. She is a junior high school student with some freckles on her face, but fortunately, her face shape is quite pleasing to the eye. She has a small face and a widow's peak, but unfortunately, she still looks very young.

She had a grayish-yellow butterfly-shaped hair clip in her hair, which made her look a bit dowdy.

"Brother, I'm back."

Kagura Tendo turned around and looked at Suzuka Ise, who was standing at the kitchen door. His thick bangs covered his eyes. He nodded slightly and then pointed to the living room with the spatula in his right hand.

Suzuka Ise was used to her older brother's way of expressing himself, so she nodded and sat obediently on the living room sofa. Although no one was watching her, Suzuka Ise was still very reserved, like a young fawn that had come to an unfamiliar jungle, not daring to explore at will, as if wild wolves were hiding in every corner.

Despite having been here for over a month and living under the same roof, Suzuka Ise still hasn't been able to have any interesting encounters with her unfamiliar older brother; their relationship is quite delicate.

The rigidity, monotony, and silence made the atmosphere at home increasingly quiet.

When the delicious food was served, Suzuka Ise ate it with small bites.

Although she wasn't a very good person, the food she cooked was delicious. When Endo Yoko went on a business trip, only the two little ones were left, and at first she thought they would starve.

Actually, she had already prepared herself to take the lead, even if it was tough, it was better than being seen as a burden.

Unexpectedly, Kagura bought the ingredients without saying a word and started cooking for two people on her own, giving her no room to do anything.

Across the table sat Kagura Tendou, whose eerie aura made her unable to lift her head; she felt as if she were having dinner with a corpse.

However, remembering that Kagura Tendo was her nominal older brother, Suzuka Ise suppressed her rapidly beating heart.

She has a congenital heart condition and suffered from asthma in her early years, nearly dying in childhood. Her health has never been good, and she used to rely on medication. However, after her father's death, she could no longer afford the medication and became a burden. If Yoko Endo hadn't been handling a case from years ago and accidentally discovered that her brother-in-law had a daughter in their hometown of Suzuka, she probably wouldn't have brought her here from her grandmother's house in the countryside.

Grandma told her that there was no future in staying in the countryside, and that her circumstances were poor. She feared that once Grandma passed away, there would be no one to take care of her, and her future would be very miserable. So Grandma told her to hold on tightly to the vine leaves as a lifeline and come here with her.

After finishing her meal, Suzuka Ise carefully picked up her bowl and chopsticks and headed to the kitchen to wash her dishes.

Grandma told her not to cause trouble for others, or she would be kicked out.

She always remembered that sentence and wanted to do what she could to show that she wasn't a burden. She kept trying to do some housework, but was always stopped.

"Put it down." Kagura Tendo's calm voice sounded from behind.

Suzuka Ise looked like a child who had done something wrong. She had an ordinary appearance, freckles, and a very thin figure, but her eyes were clear and bright. Now she looked frightened and turned her head from side to side.

"Go take a shower and go to bed. Also, take off your change of clothes," Kagura Tendo said slowly after finishing the last bite of her meal.

Suzuka Ise gave a soft hum, and several times she had the urge to speak, but in the end she said nothing and placed the bowl and chopsticks on the table.

For the past month or so, I've gotten used to following his arrangements.
