Manager, give me a membership card too!

"Since those so-called plundered eras hate my Valkyries so much, then stop hiding under the protection of those children. To look down on these children, yet comfortably enjoy the peace they bought with their lives—I, Rorschach, have never seen such shamelessness. From now on, let those people deal with the Antigurus themselves. I want to see how long the population of Tokyo can hold out."

As for those megalithic monuments, hah, I didn't even need to lift a finger; they had already sown the seeds of their own destruction.

Without civilian security companies to eliminate Gastrea that occasionally enter the city, and without the Self-Defense Forces to protect citizens, the once prosperous Tokyo district will become a doomsday city in less than six months, and everyone will live in constant fear.

After all, Gastrea are contagious, just like the zombie virus. Moreover, the rate of transmission is extremely fast, and the lethality of infected individuals is on a completely different level.

If this continues, the economy will stagnate, food will become scarce, supplies will be disrupted, public sentiment will become extreme, and the entire city will descend into unbearable chaos—a scene more terrifying than hell. After all, the most cruel creatures in this world have never been Gastrea, but humanity itself.

(PS: The good guy will be picked up later)

Recalling the children he had seen being abused, injured, maimed, or even killed during his rescue missions, Rorschach sometimes wanted to unleash his Noble Phantasm and destroy the entire city or even the whole world.

But he held back, because such a quick death would be too easy for them. You hate Gastrea, don't you? You abuse these children, don't you? Then let you experience what it feels like to become the very thing you despise.

Hopefully, even after those beasts turn into bedbugs, they will still stick to their beliefs.

Cutting flesh with a dull knife is the most painful.

As they strolled and chatted under the bright moonlight with Medusa, the purple-haired, mature woman's slender, supple waist kept drawing Luo Xia's attention in strange directions. It was unavoidable; with such a mature, alluring, and utterly devoted beauty in his arms, Luo Xia was already showing remarkable integrity by not doing anything odd.

"Lord Rorschach! Lord Rorschach?"

"Huh? What about Medusa?"

The questioning voice in his ear brought the man back to his senses. Luo Xia, who had already chosen names for their two daughters, awkwardly scratched his head and looked at the purple-haired beauty in front of him.

"Lord Rorschach, I would like to ask if you need me to help you get rid of that man named Kikunojo Tendo. I heard that he is the mastermind behind this attack on you."

"No need, no need." Luo Xia waved his hand casually, a half-smile on his face.

"Originally, I was planning to turn that old guy into ashes with a bolt of lightning. After all, if it weren't for his interference, the children wouldn't have suffered so much. But then, I thought of someone. If it were her, Kikunojo Tendo would probably be even more resentful."

"she?"

"We'll know the results tomorrow, Medusa. It's getting late, let's go to sleep. Gorgon has been sleeping with those little guys every day these past two days, and you're the only one who's willing to keep me company."

"Okay, okay... I'll go take a shower now, Lord Rorschach."

..............

In a quiet and elegant Japanese-style house in the heart of Tokyo, Kikunojo Tendo, dressed in a black kimono, walked along the hallway with a furrowed brow. Judging from his gloomy expression, the old man was probably not in a good mood.

Because of his stubbornness, the military strength of the Tokyo area was largely destroyed. The current army size is insufficient to protect even the core area where the Emperor resides, let alone the entire Tokyo region. For this reason, he was confronted for the first time by the silver-haired girl he treated like his own daughter.

He wasn't worried about the army losing Kikunojo Tendo; with his skills and administrative abilities, he only needed a few years to make up for the losses. What truly troubled him was the massive loss of the Cursed Children and the powerful monster who called himself 'Odin'.

With such concern for the cursed children and such power to fight an entire army by himself, could he be the legendary Gastrea that transcends stage five and reaches stage six?

Considering that the initial infected person of those monsters was a human, it seems possible that they returned to their original nature after reaching Stage Six.

"Really, this is a miscalculation. I never thought I'd be so easily swayed by my emotions. Is it my hatred for those monsters that's driving me?"

With a soft sigh, Kikunojo Tendo gently reached out and opened the paper sliding door to his room. However, instead of walking into the room as usual, he stared intently into the darkness with a serious expression.

"You've arrived, Grandpa."

The familiar voice made Kikunojo Tendo realize who was in front of him, but what surprised him most was not the appearance of the person in front of him, but the way she addressed him.

"Grandpa? Kisara, how many years has it been since you called me that?"

The old man's voice was tinged with emotion, but the young girl in front of him was no longer going to waste any more words.

"That kind of thing doesn't matter, because this is the last time I'll call you that."

The sound of metal scraping against the scabbard was particularly jarring in the quiet room. The old man calmly watched the girl who had already drawn her sword, without a trace of danger in his eyes.

"You can't beat me, stop struggling in vain. Come back, after I die, all of this will be yours."

"I will not stop until I avenge my parents, Grandpa. Perhaps I was no match for you yesterday."

The girl gripped the demon sword passed down through generations of the Tendo family tightly in her hand. Her purple eyes narrowed slightly, and when she opened them again, they had transformed into a pair of ferocious vertical pupils.

"But today, I am certain of victory!"

"Loli Bullets" is an anime I absolutely do not recommend watching. The content is morally reprehensible and will ruin your entire good mood for the day. Simply put, if everyone in that world were lined up and executed, many innocent people would be wrongly accused. But if they were executed one after another, even more would be missed. 2800 words, 7000 words in the third update. I'm continuing to write. "Loli Idol Does Whatever She Wants" - Synopsis of Yi Ke's new book: I'm having such a hard time. I just want to die quickly and go home to be a rich but worthless salted fish. But... but why? I can win Best Actress for slacking off in acting? I took on an obscure subject and became a sensation? I played a villain to ruin other people's good impressions of me and won Best Actor? I went to someone else's concert, casually sang a couple of songs, and became a pop star? I casually tapped the piano on stage and left behind a legendary melody? What is all this about?! Is it really that hard to die?

Chapter 91, Stage Six: Odin

"Lord Rorschach, this is a small token of my appreciation. Please take a look."

A girl with an unusual hairstyle resembling seaweed strips respectfully pushed a wooden box in front of Luo Xia. Her expression was calm and composed, showing no sign of the perilous battle she had just endured the previous night.

Without glancing at the wooden box that faintly reeked of blood, Luo Xia turned to the 14-year-old girl in front of him, who seemed completely unharmed, and asked with a frown, "Can you still hold on?"

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Rorschach. I feel great right now, very good, better than I've ever felt before."

A restless flame flickered deep within her deep purple pupils, and the air around the girl seemed to distort slightly, making her appear anything but unharmed.

"It's too dangerous for you to continue like this, I think you should..."

"No need, Lord Rorschach. I know my own body best. I'm in excellent condition right now and can go on a mission at any time."

Seeing the strange blush on the girl's face, Luo Xia hesitated for a moment before saying nothing more. Their relationship was purely transactional, so he didn't need to concern himself with it. In any case, even if something unexpected happened, the characteristics of the Ancient Battlefield of Stars would allow her to be resurrected within Luo Xia's system space.

"Now that you, Miss Tendo, have fulfilled your long-cherished wish, according to the terms of the contract, you will work for me from today onwards. I will provide you with methods to continue becoming stronger, and you, in turn, will work for me. Do you have any objections to these terms, Miss Tendo?"

The girl with the unusual seaweed-like hairline shook her head slightly, a hint of eagerness that contradicted her cool and aloof demeanor.

“No objection. You told me the truth, gave me the power to take revenge on those beasts. So, as agreed, I will do whatever you ask.”

"Don't worry, Miss Tendo, I won't let you do anything strange." With a flick of his wrist, Luo Xia tossed out a pure black card, watching the girl nimbly catch it, and said in a calm tone:

"Miss Tendo must already know the purpose of Chaldea: to take in, protect, and care for my Valkyries. This is Chaldea's sole purpose in this world, and your task is quite simple."

Gently placing his palms on the conference table in front of him, Luo Xia clasped his hands together, striking a classic pose reminiscent of Commander Ikari, a hint of undisguised killing intent flashing in his sharp eyes.

"Find the organization or individual that harmed the Chosen One, kill them, and bring the child back. Any questions, Miss Tendo?"

"No problem, where should I begin?"

"Osaka."

A blue and white portal flashed by, and the girl clutching the demon sword was already gone. Looking at the wooden box on the table, dripping with blood, Luo Xia frowned slightly, then waved his hand, turning it into dust that drifted away in the wind.

Kisara Tendo, one of the main heroines of the Black Bullet world.

Eight years ago, she witnessed her parents being killed by Gastrea, and the terror caused her kidneys to stop functioning. Originally the eldest daughter of the Tendo family, one of the most prestigious families in Tokyo, she ran away from home after realizing the suspicious circumstances surrounding her parents' deaths. Over the years, she has been gradually consumed by the darkness within her heart, living a poor life of suffering for the sake of saving face.

Because of his own little girl, Luo Xia felt sympathy for women who had become corrupted by their own unfortunate experiences. So, thinking that since that Kikunojo Tendo deserved to die anyway, he might as well do her a favor—it's a win-win situation for everyone, and maybe the world would be spared one more twisted, corrupted girl?

However, judging from the current situation, it seems that killing those 'family members' who killed her parents has not improved her mood? Oh well, let's take it slow. It would be best if she could be cured, but if she can't, there are enough monsters in this world for her to vent her darkness.

After briefly inquiring about the mental state of his employees, the wicked capitalist store manager leisurely walked towards the door.

The Cosmic Cube is in hand, and the girls in the Tokyo area should have collected most of them by now.

So, is it time to let the most magnificent and beautiful flower in the world bloom, so that these poor children can have a home that truly belongs to them, a paradise for God's chosen ones?

As Luo Xia watched the girls laughing and running past him outside the room, his gaze towards the sea became exceptionally deep.

..............

Tendou Chrysanthemum is dead!

Almost overnight, the news spread like wildfire throughout Tokyo and even across Japan.

Those who were excited, those who were secretly pleased, and those who plotted were everywhere. As for the others who died with him? What were they? Did they matter? Did they have power? Did they have a position second only to the emperor?

No!

Odin, the loss of the Cursed Child, the weakened defenses of Tokyo—all of that can be put aside. The most urgent matter now is to take that position and gain the power and authority to command Tokyo, one of Japan's five major districts.

A web of intrigues and power struggles, countless secret alliances formed and broken, and the unexpected death of the de facto ruler of the Tokyo district all drew the attention of the district's leaders to the fight for power. As for minor issues like the appearance of certain Gastrea in the outer districts, those could be put on hold for later.

What? You're saying the leader of the Tokyo district isn't the Holy Emperor? Don't be ridiculous, my friend. He's just a beautiful figurehead. Without the protection of that blindly loyal old man, Kikunojo Tendo, that girl is just a name, a symbol.

Oh, that's not right either.

Perhaps after I ascend to the throne, this beautiful little girl can bear me a child with royal blood, then my rule over Tokyo will be legitimate. Fourteen years old, such a beautiful age...

A group of ministers, old enough to be the emperor's grandfathers, stood below the platform, their murky eyes fixed greedily and twistedly on the holy young woman seated high above. Their gazes held no respect, only boundless, dark desire. Without Kikunojo Tendo, the girl before them was merely a delicious reward after their power game.

'Mr. Kikunojo passed away. I even said such hurtful things to him before...'

Perhaps the only girl in the entire Tokyo district who was grieving the death of the old man, sat blankly on the tall throne, her eyes filled with confusion.

With her silver hair and silver eyes, she never imagined such a situation would occur; the unexpected death of the pillar of the nation left her heart in turmoil.

"I am the Holy Emperor. Mr. Kikunojo is no longer here. I must uphold the dignity befitting a head of state and not wallow in grief. The citizens of Tokyo still need me!"

Forcing herself to stay alert, the Holy Empress began reviewing government documents alone for the first time. The elderly man who had accompanied (guided) her in administration was gone, and the handling of government affairs was necessary for the Tokyo district to continue operating smoothly.

A pale blue projection screen opened in front of me, and the first thing I saw was a report submitted by the Royal Gastrea Institute.

"On the possibility that an individual named 'Odin' is a Stage 6 Gastrea, and the logic and purpose behind its behavior."

"Odin...?"

Her silver pupils were slightly closed, and no one knew what this 14-year-old girl was thinking.

"Your Majesty, our Self-Defense Forces have suffered heavy casualties, all of our vehicles have been destroyed, and we are also severely lacking in personnel. Please increase the funding for the next quarter, otherwise the security of the Tokyo area will be in grave danger."

"Your army's reckless brutes, stop making things worse! Your Majesty, yesterday's thunderstorm destroyed a large number of electronic facilities, and more than half of the factories in Tokyo have stopped production. If it's not repaired soon, there could be serious problems! Your Majesty, we need sufficient supplies and funds!"

"It's because your factories have stopped production, otherwise why would you be in such a hurry? You should prioritize the military! Without the military, you'll all die when the Gastrea invade!"

"How dare you say that! If your army hadn't provoked that Stage Six, would our Tokyo district have suffered such severe losses?"

"Without the protection of the army, your factories will be destroyed by Gastrea sooner or later! We must prioritize rebuilding the army! And we must expand its recruitment!"

"All the young people have gone to join the army, so who will work in the factory? If no one works, where will we get food, electricity, and drinking water? You old man, you don't even have toilet paper when you go to the toilet! Are you going to wipe yourself with a rope?"

"A rope is fine! It's better than being eaten by those monsters!"

"You damned army idiot!"

"You damned merchant vampire!"

The young woman at the head of the table looked on with a headache at the two groups of people arguing amongst themselves below, and missed the stern old man even more. Without the old man's suppression and help, the once orderly meeting had turned into a vegetable market, and the most chaotic kind at that.

A slender hand tapped the table, the crisp sound attracting the attention of the two groups arguing. They were on the verge of a full-blown fight when they realized that there was actually a Holy Emperor sitting next to them.

Looking at the two groups of people staring intently at her, the silver-haired, silver-eyed girl cleared her throat, adopted what she considered to be her most authoritative demeanor, and spoke in a calm voice:

"What you gentlemen say makes sense. The restoration of the army is urgent, and the repair of the factories cannot be stopped. Let's start both at the same time and repair them simultaneously, so as to restore the prosperity and stability of Tokyo as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty the Holy Emperor is wise!"

Having obtained the money and supplies they wanted, the two groups that had just seemed to want to kill each other's entire families immediately fell silent and pretended to be dead, keeping their eyes down. However, another person had no choice but to step forward at this moment.

"Your Majesty the Holy Emperor!"

"What is Matsui-kei?"

"The Tokyo ward's current finances can only support repair work on one side. If both sides start together, it will be somewhat..."

The silver-haired girl frowned and asked with some doubt, "I remember that the tax revenue in Tokyo last quarter was pretty good, so the finances should be enough to cope with the current difficulties, right?"

An eerie silence fell over everyone present, and no one spoke.

Tokyo's fiscal revenue last quarter was indeed substantial, but that was revenue on paper. From top to bottom, countless mouths, numerous families, and countless forces were all leeching off the aging and weakened Tokyo. Everyone present was well aware of this fact, yet no one had told the Holy Emperor before them.

This is why the military and the Ministry of the Interior are arguing. There is money, but only enough for one portion. As for where the rest went? That's their own money. What does my money have to do with Tokyo?

Seeing all these men, old enough to be his grandfathers, pretending to be dead, the young Holy Emperor let out a long sigh.

"Continue to implement this plan. If it is not enough, replenish it from my internal treasury. We must ensure the restoration of order in the Tokyo area."

"Yes! Your Majesty the Holy Emperor is wise!"

The Finance Minister answered sincerely and respectfully, his inner elation almost bursting forth. The Imperial Treasury! It's overflowing with money! It's the legacy of the Holy Emperor's lineage for hundreds of years. Previously, the Imperial Treasury was tightly controlled by that old bastard, Tendo Kikunojo. Now it's finally my turn! I wonder how much I can get this time?
