Upon hearing this, the Holy Emperor's face turned pale.
Although she already guessed what Yotsuba Mahiro was going to say next, she still couldn't help but ask tremblingly:
"...And...what about the third one?"
"Thirdly, what gave you the illusion that I would take action for these scoundrels in the Tokyo area?"
it is as expected.
She knew about this a long time ago.
I only came with a sliver of hope, but I never expected this...
The Holy Emperor lowered his head, his face a silhouette of sorrow.
"...Why are you unwilling to give the people of the Tokyo area some time and a chance to atone for their sins?"
"Because it doesn't make sense."
Mahiro bluntly stated and scoffed, "When a car crashes into a wall, it knows to turn; when stocks rise, it knows to buy; when someone makes a mistake and is sentenced, it knows to repent... When things get to this point, it's too late for anything."
"If His Majesty the Holy Emperor is still not convinced, how about we make a bet?"
"We'll bet on the public's reaction when the news of the monolith being whitened leaks out."
Now that Arcadia's location is out in everyone's sight, if they don't retaliate against Arcadia after learning about this, then I'll step in and help you save the Tokyo area, how about it?"
His words made the Holy Emperor raise his head again, rekindling his hope.
"Is what you're saying... true?"
"of course."
"Okay, I'll bet with you."
As expected, the Holy Emperor agreed.
However, from the moment she agreed, she had already lost.
By nature, the Holy Emperor was still that kind-hearted girl, so kind that she even believed in so-called humanity.
Actually, that's the last thing you should gamble on.
After the heavy rain stopped, the Holy Emperor dressed and left.
He then took out his phone and made a call.
"Hello, is this Xia Shi?"
"It's me. I guessed you should be resting, but you must have an emergency to call me, right?"
"You're really clever. I'll trouble you to contact Sima Weizhi later and tell her that I want to raise the city walls."
"How much higher?"
"Add another twenty meters."
"what?"
Xia Shixiao exclaimed in surprise over the phone, asking in confusion, "Why? Our ten-meter-high wall is already enough to prevent outsiders from climbing over..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhenxun relayed to Xia Shi exactly what the Holy Emperor had told him earlier.
After listening, Xia Shi remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "I understand. I will contact Miss Sima later. The reinforcement method will still be the same as before, using super holmium alloy, right?"
"Yeah, that's right."
The city walls were built in this way, using countless ultra-holmium alloys stacked together, like giant stone monuments.
Not only is it extremely sturdy, but it can also stop attacks from Gastrea.
This is why Sima Weizhi called it Noah's Ark.
If Gastrea were to launch a massive attack one day, this place would undoubtedly be the safest place, bar none.
PS: Ah... I finally finished typing it out, that feels great.
I revised it several times, cutting and revising it, deleting nearly four thousand words.
Chapters 8 & 9: The weak should act like the weak.
In the days that followed, Arcadia began working overtime to reinforce and raise the city walls.
The original 10-meter-high holmium alloy wall was gradually built up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As for the Holy Emperor, he naturally didn't put all his eggs in one basket. While making the bet with him, he also launched Plan B—
It essentially means mobilizing police officers in the Tokyo area.
Among them was the Tendo Civil Security Company. Although Kisara had already contacted him, he still refused.
Therefore, only Rentaro will be fighting on this side.
They said they were going to form some kind of police auxiliary force.
But neither Yeonju nor Tina came along, and he couldn't let them go out to their deaths together.
"Tendo-style sword-drawing technique, Form 1, Chapter 1—"
In the early morning, the tatami-floored dojo was filled with cool air, and a clear voice echoed throughout the dojo.
A girl dressed in a black sailor uniform, Tendo Kisara, stood in the center of the dojo.
She closed her eyes, her muscles slowly relaxed, her hand rested on the hilt of the knife, and she gradually lowered her center of gravity.
The Tendo-style sword-drawing technique, "Nirvana Myojin no Shi" (The Stance of Nirvana's Subtle Heart). This is the integrated offensive and defensive form of the Tendo-style sword-drawing technique, signifying its ability to remain adaptable amidst ever-changing circumstances.
That's quite a sight.
Even as an observer, Makoto couldn't help but admire it. Although it might lack a little in terms of practical value, its aesthetic value was off the charts.
However, a subtle aura emanated from her, as if forming a domain centered on her, and it seemed that no matter which angle one entered from, one would be cut by that long sword that had not yet been drawn.
Just like now——
"Water droplets freeze instantly."
The murmur fell softly.
Clang——
The blade was drawn from its sheath, transforming into a flash of white light that slashed through the air.
The sound of the slash was very soft, just a soft whoosh.
But the target directly in front of the wood—a sign made of wood chips wrapped in cloth—shattered into pieces in that instant.
It fell to the ground with a thud.
Although he only swung his sword once, several flashes of light appeared, as if he had performed multiple strikes.
Most surprisingly, the distance between the wooden frame and the target was more than six meters.
Without using any magic to assist, it was just simple Iaijutsu, a slash that couldn't be simpler.
It's so scary.
"call--"
Kisara slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
Then he slowly straightened up and sheathed the sword at his waist, the sharp and ominous demonic sword—the murderous sword, Snow Shadow.
It is said that the sword is a demonic sword passed down through the Tendou family, a blade that will drag those with wavering hearts down the path of destruction, but no wavering will can be seen in Kisara.
Clearly, this demonic sword could not sway Kisaragi, or rather, her madness and obsession had long since degenerated into demonic possession, even enough to make the demonic sword submit.
"Here."
Mahiro stood up and casually tossed it to Kisara.
Because that attack required a high level of concentration, Kisara, exhausted, said "thank you" and took the towel to wipe his face.
"To be honest, that sword-drawing technique you just used was really beautiful, President."
"Don't call me president outside of work hours, just call me Kisara."
Kisara raised his chin, put on a stern face, and stared at him. "But no matter how beautiful the sword-drawing technique is, once it's seen by your eyes, Shinjiro-kun, it will be completely absorbed, won't it?"
"This is really convenient..."
Towards the end, she couldn't help but mutter to herself.
But Mahiro shook his head and said, "You can't compare to me, Kisara-san. I'm just a clumsy imitator, while you are the real deal, honing your martial arts skills bit by bit with hard work and sweat. In terms of comprehension and understanding, I definitely can't compare to you."
"of course."
Kisara chuckled with obvious delight, gathering the hair that had fallen onto his neck.
"No matter what, I am the 'Master of All Techniques' of the Tendo-ryu school."
Perhaps because the worlds are different, the classification of swordsmanship levels is also different. In the world of The Irregular at Magical Land, it is divided into "Menkyo" and "Kaiden", while in this world, they are combined into one.
"So, Miss 'Mr. 'Mr. ', what have you thought about the matter we discussed before?'"
Upon hearing his question, Mu Geng's delicate body trembled slightly, and she froze.
After hastily wiping the sweat from his neck, he loosened his long hair, turned around, and asked seriously:
"...Are you ready to take action?"
"more or less."
Shinji shrugged and said truthfully, "There's not much time left."
The ring's energy is almost full, which means his journey in this world is about to end.
"Yeah...."
Silently nodding, Kisara murmured softly, as if deep in thought, before raising his head and speaking in such a serious tone for the first time:
"Shinhiro-kun... no, Yotsuba Shinhiro-sama, do you really intend to overthrow and destroy the Tendo family?"
“Of course.” Mahiro, unusually, did not joke and even put away his smile. He replied with the same serious attitude: “In essence, I have no hatred for the Tendo family, but for those children, for those children who have died, I must kill Tendo Kikunojo.”
And this is just my first step.
Next, I will destroy the world.
"!!!"
That's no joke!
Kisara could clearly feel that strong will, just like his own determination to take revenge on the Tendo family—a dark and terrifying unwavering belief!
That's why she stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
This was perhaps the first time in a year that she had truly seen the man's true colors; hidden beneath his kind and beautiful exterior was an endless darkness capable of devouring anyone.
It was even more intense and terrifying than hers, as if it could burn everything to ashes!
If he is merely a vengeful spirit, then this man is a demon king embodied in the belief of revenge!
"Then... what will you do after you destroy the world?"
Even though she didn't have that thought, she couldn't help but ask the question.
"It's simple, I will leave this world with those children."
Mahiro was very honest and told the other party everything without reservation.
"As you can see, I am not from this world, so if you accept my conditions, the final result will be that you will become one of mine, and I will take you away with me."
You might think of me as a madman, a mental patient, but that's the truth.
Whether you believe it or not is entirely up to you.
"...I believe you."
Just as Mahiro said, Kisara's reason, or rather her understanding, was telling her that this man was talking nonsense and was mentally unstable.
What? You're not from this world? Do you think you're from another world?
But the current reality has created too many impossibilities, forcing her to believe.
Just like those eyes that can mimic any move, and that time with Scorpio, holding that strangely shaped pistol, he easily annihilated Hiruko Kagetane and the mechanical soldiers of the Five Directions Society by simply pulling the trigger, turning them into ashes.
In the end, it caused the ocean to sink, demonstrating a power capable of freezing everything, and destroyed Scorpio.
