Realizer of Death : The Reaper

Tenku turned his eyes to the person who had bumped into him and felt he had seen her somewhere. But because that person wore a hat, glasses, and a mask to disguise her appearance, it wasn't easy to recognize her.

What Tenku could see in her was her slim body and blonde hair color. He could confirm that the person was a girl. But then Tenku frowned because the girl kept staring at his smartphone and didn't immediately return it to him. It made him unhappy because his smartphone contents were private to him.

"Can you return my smartphone now?" Tenku asked.

"Ah, I'm sorry! This is your smartphone. But I didn't expect anyone to have only one song in their playlist." The girl gave the smartphone to Tenku.

Tenku raised his eyebrows because her voice sounded so melodic and familiar to his ears. Even though her voice was crisp and comforting, her attitude had given Tenku a bad impression.

"It's none of your business. You shouldn't look into the contents of other people's smartphones without the owner's permission." Tenku said indifferently and quickly took his smartphone from the girl's hand.

"Didn't I already apologize? But I'm happy when I see it. That song is..." The girl suddenly stopped her words when she heard footsteps approaching the place. She looked around frantically and saw a large trash can near her. The girl quickly ran and hid in that place.

"Please don't tell anyone that I'm hiding here! You can trick them into going the other way!" The girl said seriously. Even though her words sounded like she was asking for help, her tone sounded like an order.

Tenku didn't answer and intended to leave the place because he didn't want to get involved with that girl. But he frowned because he saw the girl's left hand shining and then covered by a glove with a beautiful and classic design. Tenku quickly noticed that it was a Phantasmal Object.

"Do not go! You must do my bidding!" The girl said coldly.

Tenku could see five transparent threads emerging from her fingers and heading toward him. His face sank as he sensed the danger from it. Tenku stared at the five transparent threads, and her eyes lit up. After that, he released a spiritual wave, and the five threads disintegrated into light particles and disappeared.

Spurt!

He could hear the girl's groans of pain from behind the large trash can after the transparent threads were destroyed. But before Tenku could say anything to her, he saw two people approaching him.

The first was a middle-aged woman wearing a neat suit and glasses. The second person was a handsome young man with bluish-black hair wearing a T-shirt and a jacket over it. From his appearance, he seems like a famous artist. The two people looked around and walked towards Tenku.

"Excuse me, did you see this girl passing by this place?" The middle-aged woman asked Tenku and showed the photo on her smartphone.

Tenku looked at the smartphone and was shocked. He was sure that the girl in the photo was the one who was now hiding behind a large trash can and trying to attack him. The girl in the photo looks beautiful with shoulder-length blonde hair and a sweet smile.

He had that kind of reaction not because of the girl's beauty but because he knew her. She is a famous idol named Kirika Miyazaki and the singer of the only song on Tenku's playlist. The title of the song is "Looking for you to another world".

"Isn't she Kirika Miyazaki? I don't see her. But I saw someone in suspicious clothes going that way." Tenku shook his head and then pointed in the opposite direction to where Kirika was hiding.

"You are right. That person must be Kirika! She likes to disguise herself when sneaking out to play! Let's go after her!" The middle-aged woman said with the young man, and the other party responded with a small nod. But before she took a step, the woman looked at Tenku.

"If you see that girl, please contact me immediately. I'm the manager of Kirika Miyazaki!" The middle-aged woman hands him a business card.

"I understand." Tenku nodded and answered curtly. After getting his reply, the middle-aged woman left the place with the young man. He felt that they were in a rush to find the girl.

"Okay. You can get out of there now. They're gone." Tenku looked at the trash can and said.

After that, Kirika came out with a pale face while clutching her chest. Kirika approached him slowly and looked scared when she saw him. When Tenku destroyed the invisible threads with his spiritual power, she was hit by a backlash and injured.

"Cough! Thank you for not telling them about my hiding place. By the way, who are you? How can you go against my abilities and make me hurt? I'm sure you weren't using a Phantasmal Object back then. Were you sent by someone to kidnap or kill me?" Kirika said in a weak voice, and she was wary of Tenku.

Kirika Miyazaki is an idol who is quite famous in Japan. She has a beautiful voice and great acting skills. She has starred in many television series and cinema movies as an actress.

As a singer, Kirika has released many singles and albums to the market, one of which is a song that Tenku often listens to using his headphones. Because of this, Kirika has a large fan base in Japan and overseas.

But her fans only know that she's an idol. In reality, Kirika Miyazaki is also a moon phase Realizer and a member of the League of Heroes. She possesses an A-rank Phantasmal Object, Marionette Glove, and her ability is Puppet Master.

As the name implies, Kirika's Phantasmal Object ability can control living things and move inanimate objects without touching them. It was like a cultivator's spiritual power that could affect the opponent's soul and surrounding objects.

Tenku could see the invisible threads from Kirika's glove and counterattack because he had practiced the Spiritual Lord Heart Sutra. If he hadn't learned the practice, Tenku might already be under the influence of the Marionette Glove and being controlled by Kirika.

"You don't need to know who I am. You should know that I have no intention of kidnapping or killing you because I have no reason to do so. I helped you this time because you are the singer of my favorite song.

But if you try to sneak up on me again, I don't mind eliminating you and making you completely disappear from the Japanese entertainment industry." Tenku said coldly and wanted to leave the place. His voice seemed to come from the depths of hell and made Kirika shiver.

Tenku didn't want to be with the girl for too long because he was worried that the two people would return and find out he had lied to them. But before Tenku could take a step, Kirika suddenly held his hand.

"Wait a minute! I'm sorry for sneakily attacking you. But I was forced to do that. I was afraid you'd tell them about me." Kirika said apologetically.

Even though she is wary of Tenku, Kirika has to find the person's origin who can destroy her spiritual thread. This was the first time her ability had failed to control someone of the same age and had caused her to be injured.

Kirika has to do it for the organization and fulfill her curiosity about Tenku since he only has one song of hers in the playlist on his smartphone. She felt happy because someone appreciated her and liked her song more than her appearance.

On the other hand, Tenku looked at Kirika and thought the girl felt guilty for her actions when he saw her expression.

"Okay. You don't need to talk about it anymore. We're even. I hurt you, but I also helped you hide from them. So you don't have to apologize or thank me. Therefore, please let go of my hand. I must return to my apartment now." Tenku slowly pulled his hand away from Kirika, but the other party suddenly tightened her grip.

"What are you doing?" Tenku narrowed his eyes and released a bit of his killing intent.

"Ugh!" Kirika bit her lips and tried to resist his coercion.

Tenku was a little surprised because the girl could withstand the pressure. He remembers a Realizer in the moon phase named Ichiro, whom he met six months ago at lake Motosu. That person couldn't endure the same amount of killing intent as he released toward the girl. Tenku was amazed by Kirika's strength. But he couldn't let the girl hold him down and make him linger in that place.

"Release your hand now. I don't have time to chat with you because I still have something I have to do. Even though you are the singer of my favorite song, that doesn't mean I can't be tough on you." Tenku said indifferently and adding to the intensity of his killing intent.

"Argh!" Kirika was shocked when she felt his coercion multiply. She tried to fight it with her strength, but it was useless. Kirika knelt down and finally let go of his hand.

Tenku looked at her briefly and quickly left the girl. He likes Kirika's songs, but that doesn't mean Tenku is her fan. Because of that, he didn't feel the slightest pity when he saw her in that condition.

"Wait..." Kirika tried to stop Tenku, but she was having difficulty speaking under pressure. After the boy disappeared from her sight, the pressure on her disappeared, and Kirika could breathe a sigh of relief.

"Who's he? First, he destroyed my ability, and now he can release that kind of pressure without using a Phantasmal Object. Judging from his uniform, he should be a student from Suisei High School." Kirika said in disbelief. She stood up slowly and wiped the sweat from her face. Her breath was still a bit rushed due to coercion from Tenku.

Kirika took her smartphone out of her pocket and called her manager. When the call was connected, she received a rain of questions and lectures from the middle-aged woman.

"Put that matter aside for now. Didn't you say I got an offer to sing at the cultural festival at Suisei High School?" Kirika asked seriously.

[Yes. You are right. Didn't you tell me to decline their offer because you will perform at another high school event? Why are you suddenly asking about that?]

The middle-aged woman said in confusion. She felt something was off about Kirika because that girl suddenly asked that question. Normally, Kirika didn't like meddling in those matters.

"I changed my mind. Please accept the offer and tell the principal there that I am willing to perform at their school festival for a half fee, but they must meet my one condition. Please do it now before another idol takes my place." Kirika said in a deep voice and ended the call without waiting for a reply from her manager. The middle-aged woman was used to her behavior and knew what her request meant.

"We will meet again soon, my fans. I will reveal all the secrets you are hiding! So wait for me to entertain you!" Kirika smiled playfully and quickly left the place.
