Realizer of Death : The Reaper



Setsuka, Wang Ruyue, and Kirika were shocked after hearing Kaede's explanation. The girls raised their voices and drew the attention of the visitors around them, including the spies who were keeping an eye on them.

They were confused about why Kirika and the others looked surprised since they couldn't hear their conversation. The spies wanted to get closer to them to eavesdrop on what the girls were talking about but stopped for fear they would be found out.

Wang Ruyue and the others quickly noticed the situation around them and moved to a quieter location to discuss the matter. Of course, the spies that Chizen sent were also secretly following them.

"Was everything Kaede said true?" Setsuka looked at Tenku and asked to confirm Kaede's words. She didn't think her best friend was lying, but the news shocked even Setsuka. She did not expect that there would be someone experimenting on monsters to increase their strength.

If Kaede's words were valid, then it would be dangerous for the people of Kyoto. The monsters would move more organized as their strength and intelligence increased. Those low-level monsters would severely threaten ordinary people, even junior Realizers.

The problem would be even worse if the experiment could be carried out on high-level monsters and mass-produced. This is dangerous for Japan and all countries in the world.

On the other hand, Wang Ruyue and Kirika also turned their attention to Tenku and waited for his answer. They also felt the same way as Setsuka and were curious about the information they heard from Kaede.

"Yes, everything Kaede said is true. We followed that goblin and found its hiding place in the Arashiyama bamboo grove. Most importantly, they weren't ordinary monsters but the result of someone's experiments. Fortunately, only one goblin has such intelligence." Tenku nodded under the gazes of the three girls and re-explained what Kaede had told them.

"But why did the goblins appear in the Arashiyama bamboo forest? Who were the people who had experimented on those monsters, and why were they left here? Did that person do it intentionally so the monsters could wreak havoc on this place?" Kirika's face darkened as she thought of that possibility. She bombarded Tenku with questions because the news worried her. After all, Kyoto was Kirika's hometown, and she didn't want what happened to her family to happen again.

"I don't know. But I think this is related to why Realizers from the organization headquarters came to Kyoto." Tenku said his conjecture to the girls.

"Yes, that makes sense. Those Realizers came to this town presumably to catch the culprit responsible for it and exterminate the monsters from the experiment because it was dangerous." Wang Ruyue nodded in response to his words.

This was the first time she had heard of a case where someone experimented on monsters and tried to increase their strength. Wang Ruyue had never encountered a similar problem in China. She thought Japan's situation was much more dangerous than she thought.

"Chizen might know about this. I remember he accidentally mentioned the mission when we met him at the airport. But he denied it when I asked him. So this matter should be a secret mission." Kirika recalled her chat with Chizen at the airport. At that time, that person accidentally slipped his tongue and said his reason for coming to Kyoto.

"Yes. I heard that too. This problem seems bigger than we think." Kaede added.

"Alright. You don't need to guess about it anymore. That matter is none of our business. It had become the responsibility of the Realizers from headquarters. Our purpose in coming here is not for a mission but for a vacation. So we don't have to do anything unless the monsters come at us." Tenku looked at the girls and said.

He didn't want that problem to burden the girls' minds and ruin their tour of the Arashiyama bamboo grove. Tenku went on vacation with them because he wanted to refresh his mind. It might increase his understanding of the various techniques and abilities he acquired after breaking through the innate realm.

For now, Tenku wanted to forget about his hard training, cultivation, and killing of monsters. Although he was still trying to understand his new power, he did it to fill his spare time.

"Is it alright if we leave the matter to the Realizers from headquarters? Can they handle it properly? Wouldn't it be better if we took over this matter from them and solved it ourselves?" Kirika said worriedly.

That problem happened in her hometown, and Kirika felt uneasy if she didn't deal directly with it because she was afraid that what had happened in the past would happen again. In addition, Kirika felt more trust in Tenku than in the Realizers from the headquarters of an organization she didn't know.

"I know what you're thinking, Kirika. But we can't meddle in that matter since that is already within the authority of the Realizers from headquarters. It is still unclear as we do not know who is behind the experiments on those monsters.

They could be terrorists from Ghost Nebula or members of an official organization." Tenku said seriously. The girls were dumbfounded after hearing his deduction. But before they could say anything, Tenku opened his mouth again.

"The Chizens and Realizers from headquarters might attack us when they see us meddling because they think we have interfered with their mission even though our intentions are good. Most importantly, we don't know who and where the perpetrator is hiding now.

The culprit might have already left Kyoto. Besides, we don't know if this city still has monsters like that. I hope you can think clearly and understand our position. But if you still want to deal with this matter, please do it yourself and don't involve Setsuka and the others. We're sorry we couldn't help you." Tenku glared at Kirika and said coldly.

He could understand how Kirika felt but wouldn't let that girl get Setsuka and the others into trouble. Tenku was angry because Kirika was too carried away by her feelings, which might make them fall into a dangerous situation.

Kirika's body trembled when she saw Tenku's cold gaze toward her. Tears rolled down from her eyes, but she quickly wiped them away. Kirika knew that her request was a little excessive. Even though they can be called friends, their relationship is not very close because they only briefly know each other.

She shouldn't involve Tenku and the others in a matter they don't know about, which might be dangerous for them. So it's only natural that Tenku was angry with her.

On the other hand, Setsuka and the other two felt sympathy for Kirika but couldn't do anything about it. They will obey Tenku's words because they know it is for their good. Plus, what Tenku said was true. They had come to Kyoto on vacation and not on a mission. Therefore, they don't need to get involved in the matter if they don't have to.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have made such a request." Kirika lowered her head and said in a hoarse voice.

"You don't need to apologize, so please raise your head. The one who should be apologizing is me because I was rude, but you should already know why I said that to you. So I hope you can understand." Tenku said softly. He felt guilty for making Kirika cry. Tenku shouldn't act that hard on her.

"No. You are not wrong! I should be the one apologizing to you! I shouldn't have asked you to meddle in a matter that has nothing to do with you. " Kaede said weakly, and tears fell from her eyes again.

"Please don't cry anymore. I never said I wouldn't act if those monsters or culprits appeared. But I wouldn't purposely look for them since that would be difficult and troublesome. So please don't be sad." Tenku sighed. He felt overwhelmed if he had to face a girl he knew crying.

"Is that true?" Kirika looked at Tenku, and her face brightened. Setsuka and the others also focused on him and waited for his reply. Honestly, they also had the same thoughts as Kirika.

The three girls also wanted to take care of the matter because they couldn't let those mutated monsters roam freely in Kyoto. It was the desire in their hearts as Realizers. Wang Ruyue and the others wanted to solve the problem themselves and didn't want to rely on the Realizers from headquarters.

Of course, they had the confidence to do so since they had Tenku. But the three girls couldn't say that because all decisions were in his hands, and they would follow him no matter what.

"Yes. But for now, we can only leave that matter to the Realizers from headquarters. They should know more about this and who their enemy is. If they can't handle it and there is chaos in Kyoto, we will act." Tenku said helplessly.

"That's enough! As long as you act, then Kyoto will be safe!" Kirika said excitedly, and she smiled broadly. Kaede and the others were amazed when they saw that, but they quickly returned to their senses and frowned. The girls wanted to say something to her, but Tenku spoke first.

"Alright. Let's put that issue aside for now. Since we've taken care of the goblins, we should continue our tour in the Arashiyama bamboo grove." Tenku reminded them. He didn't want the girls to go on and on about the matter and ruin their vacation.

The girls looked at each other and nodded. Afterward, they left the place and continued their tour in the Arashiyama bamboo forest. But they had forgotten about an important matter. The spies sent by Chizen had been watching the interactions between Tenku and Kirika. They had reported everything they saw to Chizen.

Tenku and the others didn't stay long in the Arashiyama bamboo forest and returned to the Miyazaki residence in the evening. They quickly went into their respective rooms to rest because they felt tired.

Time passed quickly, and the day had turned to night. Tenku felt a little thirsty and went to the kitchen to make tea. On the way, he runs into Setsuka and the others. He saw them wearing yukata and was about to go somewhere in the house.

"What do you want to do at this hour?" Tenku asked the girls.
