Anime, infinite dimension starting from Mahou no Yakumo

"The door is right there."

Mahiro has great respect for the fate of others.

While it's true that he felt sorry for the girl, that doesn't mean he would force her to stay.

However, Mibu Asaka did not move. Instead, she stared at him, a faint ripple in her pupils, and asked tremblingly:

"Can...I do it?"

"Of course you can. Don't you know how to clean?"

"Yes, I will..."

"That's fine then, but I only provide room and board, not a salary."

"I don't need... money... just rice... no, leftovers are fine."

"Ha, what nonsense are you talking about? Wouldn't that make me a child abuser? But based on your answer, I can assume you're willing, right?"

"Yes, I'm willing..."

The girl nodded vigorously.

Now that things have come to this, she has no other choice. If she had a choice, she certainly wouldn't want to go back to living a life of limb in the trash can.

Even if the person in front of her is part of a beautiful lie, and there's a trap waiting for her, she's willing to walk right into it.

After all, it was this person who made me realize that there were such delicious things in this world.

"Very good, a very good answer."

Mahiro smiled as he stood up, walked over, and reached out to stroke the girl's head again.

This time, although Mibu Asaka was afraid, she did not back down or avoid it, letting the gentle hand be placed on her head and gently rub it.

This warmth reminded her of the past.

He really does seem like a deity...

"Oh right, I forgot to ask, how old are you this year, Xiao Rensheng?"

"...Nine, nine years old."

"Emmm, she's not a child anymore. Can she take a bath by herself?"

Although she didn't know why she was asked that, she nodded to indicate that she could.

"Alright, go take a shower first, and then we'll assign you a room."

Although his apartment wasn't very big or luxurious, it had quite a few rooms—four bedrooms and a living room.

So he took Xiao Rensheng's slightly greasy little hand, led her to the bathroom, gave her a little instruction, and then left her inside by herself.

As for the clothes he took off, he threw them all into the trash can.

It's so dirty, I can't wash it.

"Let's wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow when we have time to take Xiao Rensheng to buy it."

Mahiro sat on the sofa, holding his head in his hands and looking up at the ceiling.

Hearing the sound of running water coming from the bathroom, he calmed down and began to plan his next move.

This shitty world absolutely cannot continue like this!

Chapter 67, Number 328 – Aihara Enju

The next day.

Following the address sent by Kisaragi, he took a taxi to a towering building.

This is IISO's Tokyo branch.

The International Initiator Supervising Organization (IISO) is an organization that manages and distributes IP rankings by pairing initiators and promoters.

"so slow!"

As soon as he entered the IISO branch lobby, Tendo Kisara, who had been waiting for a long time, let out a sweet shout and strode over in her hard-soled round-toed leather shoes.

Today, Kisara was still dressed in a black JK uniform, but her arms were crossed and her slightly upturned eyes gave her a sharp look. She, who was very cute when she smiled, was now looking unhappy.

What was unexpected was that Rentaro Satomi also came today.

She looked at him apologetically, as if she were apologizing on behalf of Kisaragi.

"Why are you only arriving now?!" Kisara demanded.

"Sorry, I found a child outside yesterday and took him home to care for him, so I'm a little late today."

"A child? Is he a cursed child?"

Rentaro was the first to react.

However, when Mahiro answered affirmatively, Kisara's gaze towards him became subtle.

"I'm telling you, you're here so late today. Did you do something strange to the child you just found at home? As your company president, I have a responsibility to tell you that's not allowed, and I'll call the police!"

Kisei's attitude surprised him slightly, but this strange statement was also quite a headache.

"President Kisara, you can doubt my character, but you can't doubt my hobbies. Lolis are nice, but I'm not so scum that I would lay a hand on a child."

Not to mention that they were such pitiful little children.

Fortunately, Mahiro didn't want to get entangled with Kisara on this topic, so he looked at Rentaro beside him and asked:

"Speaking of which, Mr. Satomi, what brings you here today? If you're just accompanying me to my police license exam, is it really necessary to have so many people with you?"

Actually, Kisara didn't need to come today; he could have just given me the address.

Although it's an exam, it's not for little kids.

But she was surprisingly insistent, as if she were afraid her precious treasure would be taken away, so there was nothing I could do...

"Oh, as for me... I received a call from IISO yesterday, saying that they have found a suitable initiator."

"?"

Yotsuba Mahiro slowly typed out a question mark.

Speaking of which, he had always had this question. He remembered that the protagonist, Rentaro Satomi, should be accompanied by a loli named Enju Aihara, but he had known her for several days and still hadn't seen her.

So, it turns out you haven't become Rentaro's partner yet...

Wait, what point in the story is we at? It seems like the story hasn't even started yet!

Seeing the confusion on his face, Kisara assumed he had some questions about the police partner system, so he explained:

"Now, with too many people wanting to become police officers, there aren't enough starters to be allocated. So after getting a police officer's license, you usually have to wait for a while before you can be assigned a starter by IISO."

In fact, the shortage of starters is not solely due to an overabundance of police officers; the supply of cursed children is insufficient.

Rather, when the system was first established, those children were easy to catch.

However, because some people do not cherish their partners at all and casually sacrifice the initiators, they often have to be replenished from IISO afterwards.

In addition, as the children grew up and became smarter, they all hid away, and some even rose up in rebellion.

This has led to the current situation where there are not enough starters, and it is very difficult to recruit them.

"But if you really want to find her, there's no need to worry about this. Judging from your expression, you must want to adopt that girl, right? So after you get your police license, you can bring her here to register her as your initiator."

"I don't want to do that. Little Mibu is already pitiful enough, and I can handle the fighting all by myself."

"So that child's name was Mibu..."

Kisara smiled and said, "Judging from your expression, you seem to cherish her very much... In that case, you should make her an Initiator even more. I know that your strength is beyond doubt, Shinjiro, but do you know that the Cursed Children can only live longer by regularly injecting inhibitors?"

Besides issuing police licenses and assigning starters, IISO's most important role is to assign inhibitors to police partners to suppress enteroviruses.

If inhibitors are used irregularly, the rate of gastrulation in the initiator's body will gradually increase. When it exceeds 50%, the initiator will lose its self and become a gastrulator.

This is also the foundation upon which IISO stands internationally.

"It's a good idea, but let me think about it."

Makoto did not immediately agree.

Actually, he would prefer to take another child from IISO, which would be considered saving another child.

But he would soon dismiss this idea.

Just as they were chatting, a man in a suit came over and told Rentaro that he could go and claim his Origin.

Since there was still some time before the exam, Mahiro went along to take a look.

"Ah!!! Let me go!!!"

They were led to a room, and shortly after they entered, a girl was escorted in by several staff members, as if she were a prisoner.

She was wearing only a white dress, and her slender arms and torso were covered in scars.

Her waist-length orange hair was so frizzy it was almost standing on end.

She struggled desperately and frantically.

With the power of the cursed child, even several strong men should have been unable to control her, but the girl was easily pushed in by two staff members.

They were also told that "this cursed child is emotionally unstable and violent. Although a small amount of muscle relaxant has been injected, caution is still needed when coming into contact with him."

The girl was glaring at them, her ominous crimson eyes revealing a mixture of ferocity and fear.

With a collar and number tag around its neck, it looked just like a product for sale.

“Number 328... Enju Aihara.” Mahiro Yotsuba murmured the girl’s name unconsciously.

At that moment, the air suddenly became still.

Rentaro and Kisara both turned to look at him.

Even the bound girl stopped struggling, and the anger and ferocity in her eyes lessened, replaced by a hint of confusion.

"How do you know her name? Do you know her? Or...did you see it with your own eyes?"

Kisara Tendo has fully accepted the concept of his Mystic Eyes.

After all, even illogical creatures like Gastrea exist, so his eyes weren't that hard to accept.

"Uh...yeah." Mahiro said with a smile, teasingly.

After receiving an affirmative answer from him, Kisara didn't find it particularly surprising.

It's really convenient, for things like copying the Magic Eye.

However, it was thanks to Yotsuba Mahiro's words that the girl finally calmed down.

After confirming that No. 328 would not harm anyone, the two staff members released her and left.

"My name is Rentaro Satomi. From today onwards, I will be your facilitator, and you will be my initiator." Rentaro stepped forward and said to the girl, his slightly gloomy face revealing no trace of joy or sorrow.

However, No. 328 ignored Rentaro.

Instead, her gaze was fixed on Yotsuba Mahiro, who was standing with Kisaragi.

"...who is he?"

This was the first time the girl had spoken; although her voice was a little hoarse, it couldn't hide its clear and crisp quality.

Rentaro said directly, "His name is Yotsuba Mahiro. He is my colleague, and from now on he will also be your colleague."

"Yotsuba... Mahiro..."

Number 328 chewed slowly, as if trying to firmly engrave his name in his heart.

After a while, Rentaro collected a week's supply of inhibitors from the other staff members and left with No. 328.

Meanwhile, Yotsuba Mahiro's police officer exam has already begun.

The assessment process was also extremely boring.

Besides the physical examination to collect basic data, the rest are shooting tests, strength tests, speed tests, and endurance tests.

He could easily score more than the maximum marks on these tests.

After all, the technological breakthroughs produced by the Fourth Research Institute are not some rotten fish or shrimp from the street; they are the most powerful man-made weapons.

Incidentally, there is no written test in the police officer assessment.
