Meanwhile, Xiaochaoxia was diligently cleaning the room.

That meticulous and serious personality meant that no detail was overlooked.

Xiao Zhaoxia is the same age as Yanzhu, so logically she should go to school with Yanzhu.

However, Asaka herself was unwilling, saying, "As Master Shinhiro's sword, I must always serve by his side." She refused the suggestion to go to school for this reason.

Essentially, Xiaochaoxia doesn't want to interact with other people, especially the children at school.

After all, seeing that their parents pick them up and drop them off at school, even though Xiaochaoxia no longer cares about these things, she still feels a little disappointed.

As for himself, let's just forget about it.

One experience with a school is enough.

And so, it was noon. After lunch, while Asaka was washing the dishes, Mahiro suddenly received a phone call.

"Hello? Is there something you need from me at this time, President?"

Please don't call me president outside of work hours. But I do have work to do, you know.

The clear, bell-like voice of Kisara came through the receiver.

"Do I need to go to the office now? Or can we explain it over the phone?"

"Nothing is needed. Just come to the Ministry of Defense now!"

"Okay, I'll be there soon."

After hanging up the phone, he turned around and found Mibu Asaka, who had just finished washing the dishes, staring intently at him, her pupils, now the original color of their former red, reflecting his image.

"Do you have a job?" Mibu Asaka asked.

"Ah, the president wants me to go to the Ministry of Defense."

"Then I want to go too."

Mibu Asaka's eyes revealed a serious and firm look. "Lord Masahiro, I am your sword. I hope you will use me properly, instead of hiding me in the scabbard."

This is the same old story again.

To be honest, Xiao Zhaoxia's strength is indeed quite good, and she is fully worthy of her title, and may even reach higher.

Moreover, the rate of enterovirus erosion in the body is very low, only a small amount of more than 30%.

It is much lower than Aihara Enju's 43% high-risk value.

However, even so, he did not want these children to go to the battlefield, nor did he have any reason to risk their lives for the so-called future of humanity.

not worth it.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, the cursed child is a good fighting tool, a cheap consumable that can be used in large quantities.

Even police officers who don't reject or even like cursed children will use them in combat or fight alongside them.

There was no other way, because the police officers themselves were not very strong, and most of them were not even as strong as the children, so they were sent to participate in the operation.

However, Zhenxun's opinion differed from that of the police officers.

In his eyes, Mibu Asaka was just a child who needed to be protected, not anything else. Does having the ability to fight mean you have to fight?

Does having the ability to fight mean you have to risk your life for the future of others?

Can't we just live in peace and tranquility?

Do you want to enjoy life like a normal child?

Don't those people feel ashamed to push the main force of the battle onto ten-year-old children?

This is also why he has consistently refused to allow Mibu Asaka to participate in the firm's commissions.

However, taking her to the Ministry of Defense to broaden her horizons this time isn't a bad idea, since there's no danger involved.

"Let's go then. Hurry up and change your clothes, then we'll set off."

Hearing his answer, which was so different from his usual one, Mibu Asaka's eyes shone with joy, and even her crimson eyes shone brightly again due to the fluctuation of her emotions.

"Yes, please wait a moment, Master Zhenxun, I'll be right there!"

Mibu Asaka, with her short legs, quickly ran back to her room.

After a while, she came out of the room fully armed, not only wearing clothes that were easy to move in and somewhat similar to a modified kimono, but also wearing an exoskeleton armor customized from Sima Heavy Industries.

He had a long sword hanging at his waist.

It wasn't holmium-plated; it was just an ordinary sword, but it was still made by a famous craftsman. It was a gift from Kisara to her when she became an apprentice.

They're really full of energy...

After leaving home, he drove with Asaka to the Ministry of Defense.

...

.....

...

Within the Ministry of Defense.

When they arrived at the conference room, it was already full of people.

Apart from the presidents in suits, the rest were all promoters equipped with holmium weapons that shone with a black metallic luster, accompanied by starters who were about the same size as Mibu Asaka.

On the contrary, their student attire and normal casual wear made them stand out as oddities.

Not to mention how young he is.

"Hey, what's wrong with the quality of the police lately? Are even kids playing police house now? Did you get the wrong room? If this is a social studies class visit, then get out of here quietly!"

A burly man shouted loudly and then stepped out from the ranks of the police officers.

His thick, iron-like chest, barely concealed by his thin vest, exuded an oppressive aura that could be clearly felt even through a sentence.

He had a head of hair that stood on end as if it were burning, a skull-shaped mask tied around his mouth, and a pair of slanted, three-white eyes that were looking around.

On his back was a heavy, broad-bladed greatsword, perfectly matching his massive and muscular physique.

Before Rentaro could make a move, Mahiro had already stepped forward and shielded Kisaragi and Asaka behind him, but this subconscious action seemed to displease the man greatly.

"Huh? You're standing here all by yourself, are you asking for a beating, kid?"

"You are not allowed to be rude to Lord Shinji!"

Xiao Chaoxia immediately stepped forward, looking up at the burly man with a fierce expression. Her hand was already on the hilt of the knife at her waist, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.

In fact, many people at the scene had already recognized Masahiro; perhaps those who didn't recognize him were the odd ones out.

But almost everyone was ready to watch the show.

After all, they didn't really believe the rumors about Yotsuba Mahiro, especially after seeing how fair-skinned he looked like a young master.

They even recalled the scene of Yotsuba Mahiro being brutally beaten by Ikuma Shōken, and many people took out their phones to record it and post it online.

"Get out of here." Yotsuba Mahiro said coldly as he blocked Mibu Asaka's path.

To everyone's surprise, Ikuma seemed to be stunned for a moment, then said blankly, "I understand," and then put the weapon aside, squatted down, curled up into a ball, and rolled away to the side.

The crowd erupted in uproar, utterly dumbfounded.

Even Kisara and Rentaro stared at him in disbelief.

"What...what did you just do?"

It's unbelievable that Yi Xiong Jiangjian, whose IP ranking is 1584, is so obedient!

"Just a little magic trick." Mahiro smiled slightly. "President Kisara, please take your seats. The meeting is about to begin."

He kindly reminded him.

The hypnotic magic "Evil Eye" based on light wave vibration.

Although it's a minor, unremarkable spell, it has an unexpected effect in this world.

Zhenxun led Xiaochaoxia, along with the other police officers, to the wall.

Soon, the meeting began.

The familiar snow-white figure appeared on the screen—the Holy Emperor, and the tall old man standing to one side, his assistant, Tendou Kikunojo.

This is a billion-dollar commission to retrieve a lost box.

Since Mahiro was no longer interested in money and already knew what it was about, he didn't listen carefully. Instead, he looked at the little girl who had suddenly appeared beside him.

She wore a plain-colored long-sleeved dress and tight pants. Although she had a pair of bright and expressive eyes, she gave off a sense of emptiness and lack of charm.

At this moment, her partner was still rolling on the ground.

But she was looking him over with those big, bright eyes.

Mahiro recognizes this girl; she's the partner of that burly man named Ikuma Shokane, and also one of the most tragically tragic characters in the entire anime—the originator of the dolphin factor.

"Your name is Senju Natsuyo, right?"

"what...."

Xiao Xiashi couldn't help but let out a small gasp, feeling incredulous that her name had been revealed.

Surprised? Actually, it's just a little magic trick.

"......"

Just as Shinji was teasing Natsume, Asaka, standing to the side, puffed up her cheeks in anger.

Master Mahiro has been seduced by another woman again, even though he already has me...

However, she did not intend to vent this willfulness on Mahiro.

After all, she herself was a girl who was rescued from darkness by Mahiro, so seeing her companion, who was also a cursed child, being taken care of by Mahiro warmed her heart.

As expected, Master Shinji's heart is still as broad and gentle as ever...

then.

Mahiro suddenly stretched out a hand toward Natsume Senju, and then slowly opened it.

As if by magic, a candy lay quietly in his palm.

"Xia Shi, you must be hungry, right? Here, have some candy."

That gentle and cheerful smile made Xia Shi momentarily dazed. Looking at the candy in his hand, he was truly surprised this time.

She wasn't actually hungry, but she had just wanted to tease him a bit and see how he would react.

Unexpectedly, it was predicted beforehand.

Does this person have the ability to read minds?

Chizu Natsuyo carefully put the candy into her mouth, savoring the sweetness while pondering something.

But for the first time, she felt that her little brain with an IQ of 210 wasn't quite up to the task.

"Here, one for Xiaochaoxia too."

Turning back, he took out another one and handed it to Mibu Asaka, who was sulking.

After all, we can't favor one over the other.

Chapter 71 Why didn't you say so sooner?

"Hahahahahaha!!"

Just then, a sudden, sharp laugh echoed through the room, interrupting not only Tendo Kisara, who was asking the Holy Emperor about the contents of the box, but also the thoughts of the other company presidents.

Immediately afterwards, everyone's eyes were focused on the owner of the voice, and then they were taken aback.

A strange man wearing a mask, a top hat, and a tailcoat put his feet on the table. The masked man, who had been sitting in an empty seat just moments before, straightened up and stood up as if floating amidst laughter, standing on the table with his shoes on.

The masked man walked to the center of the oval table and stopped, facing the Holy Emperor.

"Give me your name."

"excuse me."

The masked man removed his top hat and bowed deeply like an elegant gentleman, paying homage to the Holy Emperor on the monitor.

“My name is Hiruko, Hiruko Kagetane. Nice to meet you, Your Highness, the incompetent head of state... To be frank, I am your enemy.”
