Chapter 398 Dolphin Girl Makes Her Debut
"Your Majesty, is the medium for summoning Scorpio still in your hands?"
Upon arriving at the sacred residence and meeting the Holy Emperor, Tendou Kisara asked this question.
"The Seven Stars Relics are still in my possession; I've kept them in my room all this time."
The white-haired holy emperor nodded.
After the satellite discovered traces of Scorpio, she went to check on the relics of the seven stars.
The result was fine; the contents of the box were still there.
"What if I said that the person behind Hiruko Kagetane is Tendo Kikunojo?"
"How dare you! How dare you slander His Excellency, the Assistant Minister of Heavenly Child!"
Upon hearing this, Captain Howaki Takuto immediately reprimanded him.
"Ms. Kisara, are you sure?"
The White-Haired Holy Emperor inquired solemnly.
If this is confirmed, it would be nothing short of a major earthquake for the Tokyo area.
"Your Majesty, how could you believe this...?"
"Captain Howaki, Ms. Kisara is the granddaughter of Assistant Officer Tendo."
The captain of the guard stopped talking.
The girl's identity was beyond his expectations.
He, an outsider, was protecting the Tiantong family, while the young lady of the Tiantong family acted as if she were sacrificing her own family for the greater good.
"I can't be 100% sure, but I'm about 70-80% confident."
Tendo Kisei didn't make any absolute statements.
"Come with me."
The Holy Emperor brought the Heavenly Child Kisara into his room.
"These are the relics of the Seven Stars."
The box was opened, revealing a pink children's bicycle inside.
"How do you attract Stage 5 users to this kind of thing?"
Rentaro Satomi, who had come in with him, was somewhat taken aback when he saw what was inside the box.
"I cannot disclose that information, but it is indeed a relic of the Seven Stars."
"Your Majesty, are you certain this is genuine?"
"I'm not sure, I only know what's inside."
The white-haired Holy Emperor shook his head.
"Does Kikunojo Tendo know what's inside this?"
"Know."
"Is it possible that the item was switched?"
"I always work at the Holy House and have never left, except for today when I went out."
The Holy Emperor's activities were not extensive; he was basically confined to the Holy Residence.
Is this room guarded?
"have."
The guard on duty at the room today was summoned to question him about something.
"Apart from Mr. Nishida, no one else entered the Emperor's room today."
"Who is that person?"
"My life manager."
"Is it related to the Tendo family?"
"have no idea."
The young Holy Emperor shook his head.
"Did the butler bring anything out of the room?"
"No, I just took some people in to tidy up the room."
"Did you bring anything in?"
"A cleaning truck."
"How big is the cleaning truck? Can it fit such a large box?"
After gesturing for a moment and receiving a definite answer of "Yes," Tendo Kijiro asked, "Where is the other person now?"
"I've taken leave, saying I'm not feeling well."
"Can you access the CCTV footage inside the Holy House?"
With the Emperor's approval, the group went to the monitoring room and retrieved the surveillance footage.
However, the Holy Emperor's room was not under surveillance.
"What's wrong with these surveillance cameras?"
Kisara Tendo pointed to some black-screen surveillance cameras and asked.
"There was a malfunction today, and repairs were suspended for half an hour."
"This malfunction is quite coincidental; it just so happens that His Majesty the Holy Emperor is not here."
"I called, but they said that Butler Nishida still hasn't come home."
Someone ran in to report the situation.
"Perhaps the person has already been silenced."
Kisara Tendo made a casual remark, but little did he know that it would become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
By monitoring the routes reported for repair.
The group quickly found a blood-stained cardboard box outside a secluded back door.
The man who was killed this morning was already stiff.
"We need to check the surveillance footage of the roads outside the Holy House."
The surveillance footage from the road administration department came back quickly.
Within a specific timeframe and area, Hiruko Kagetane's figure was quickly discovered.
The other party carried a briefcase and left easily with the Seven Stars' relics without anyone stopping them.
"As expected, the purpose of their high-profile attack was to prevent the implementation of the Gastrea method."
The young Holy Emperor's expression was not very good.
"Miss Kisara, have you found evidence against the person behind this?"
"We have a lead. We were just preparing to arrest the Black Gloves of the Tiantong family when we received your call."
Tendo Kisara answered.
"Now is not the time for internal strife; we need to deal with the Scorpio issue first."
After thinking for a moment, the young Holy Princess said that there are priorities and that it would not be wise to turn against the Tiantong family, who have infiltrated all aspects of the world, under the current circumstances.
"Our Tendo Agency alone cannot find Hiruko Kagetane, who has gone out into the wild, in a short period of time."
Tendo Kiyo understood what the other party meant and, being quite sensible, didn't dwell on the matter.
"I will contact other police stations and issue them an emergency mission to retrieve the Chilseong relics."
Broly listened without saying a word.
Both of them had potential romantic interests, but both rejected him.
Therefore, he remained neutral.
Heads of various offices in the Tokyo area were urgently summoned.
It was still in the Ministry of Defense's conference room.
"What is the purpose of this gathering?"
The heads of the various companies were somewhat puzzled, but the Holy Emperor soon appeared on the projection screen and personally answered their questions.
This time, the person standing beside the young Holy Emperor was no longer the assistant, Kikunojo Tendo, but Kisara Tendo.
"That's how it is. The Seven Star Relics were taken away by Hiruko Kagetane again, and he used them to summon Scorpio."
Scorpio is now visible in the Pacific Ocean, and according to the General Staff, it is expected to arrive at Tokyo Harbor in two hours.
I hope that everyone can retrieve the Seven Star Relics from Hiruko Kagetane before then, and prevent the Great Extinction from happening.
The officers in charge of the police station looked at each other in bewilderment. Last time, when they were halfway through the task of collecting the Seven Stars' relics, the Tiantong Police Station had already completed it ahead of schedule.
I heard that Tendou Kisara is highly regarded by the Holy Emperor. I didn’t expect that less than a week later, the Seven Star Relics quest that was completed before would be available again.
"Could it be that the previous mission was never actually completed, and someone simply lied about their achievements?"
A burly man wearing a black scarf with a skull on it sneered.
"To be imprisoned!"
The head of the Mishima Royal Guard gave the other party a stern reprimand.
"Alright, Mr. Mishima, I won't say anything then."
Yi Xiong shut his mouth.
"I apologize, Your Majesty, our company's employee was rude."
That being said, many police officers in law enforcement agencies share this sentiment.
Compared to their agency, Tendo Agency was virtually unknown before this.
Completing the task before them and receiving the Emperor's favor was somewhat unsettling.
The fact that the other party's president is said to be the granddaughter of the assistant to Tendo makes people even more suspicious of a connection.
"It's alright. I know you all have some doubts, but I can guarantee in my personal capacity that the Tiantong Agency did indeed complete the mission of retrieving the Seven Star Relics last time."
This incident was caused by my own negligence in safeguarding the Seven Star Relics. I implore you all to lend me your strength to save the Tokyo area.
The Holy Emperor bowed to the audience in front of the screen.
"The reward for this emergency mission is 20 billion."
Tendo Kisara, standing nearby, announced the amount of the reward.
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
"Your Majesty, there's no need for this. This is what we should do."
The heads of various agencies were all moved, whether by the young Holy Emperor's humble attitude or by the high reward of 20 billion.
"Hiruko Kagetane's last departure direction was eastward, which is the old port area of Tokyo Bay that has fallen. According to the Self-Defense Forces' staff, it is highly likely that Hiruko Kagetane is hiding in the forest there or in a warehouse in the old port area."
"They're not even within the boundary marker, so does that mean we're facing dangers not only from Hiruko Kagetane, but also from Gastrea roaming the wild?!"
"If you're scared, you don't have to go. The reward is exactly 20 billion; our Mishima Royal Guard Agency can handle it all on our own!"
"This commission is time-sensitive. If you can work together to complete it ahead of schedule, I can offer additional compensation."
The young Holy Princess quickly added that now that Scorpio had appeared on the satellite, she was willing to spend more money to quell a possible mass extinction.
With the promises of further rewards from the young saintly emperor, the heads of various police stations had no objections, as the saying goes, high risk, high reward.
Moreover, if we don't retrieve the Seven Star Relics, do we not have to face Scorpio, who is approaching Tokyo?
With time of the essence, the Holy Emperor personally ordered the Self-Defense Forces to cooperate, and helicopters were mobilized to transport police officers from various companies and their initiators to the areas in the wild where possible hiding places were suspected, to conduct a thorough search for Hiruko Kagetane's whereabouts.
However, that's not enough; we must prepare for the worst.
What if the police officers are unable to find Hiruko Kagetane and stop the summoning of the Seven Star Relics before Scorpio arrives?
Then, we need to consider how to deal with the Scorpios who will arrive here later.
The navy has already departed from Newport.
The Air Force is also ready to act at any time.
The army advanced toward the old territories that had not yet been recaptured.
These troops were to travel to the location of the ladder to check if it was still functioning properly.
This country does not possess nuclear weapons, but the "Sky Ladder," a super-railgun theoretically capable of firing projectiles at five percent of the speed of light, is the ultimate weapon that cannot be replicated in this era.
After issuing these orders, all the young Holy Emperor could do next was to leave the rest to fate.
. . . .
"Your Majesty the Holy Emperor!"
Kikunojo Tendo arrived.
"The Seven Star Relics have been lost again, and Scorpio is about to strike. Why were you not informed?"
Upon arrival, the old man immediately began questioning the young Holy Emperor.
"The situation is urgent, and considering the age of your assistant, I did not send anyone to inform you."
The young Holy Emperor explained.
"Ha, even if I didn't notify you, you old man, you already knew, didn't you?"
Tendou Kisara couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.
"I'm not so old that I can't handle emergencies."
The old man glanced at his granddaughter, ignored her, and said...
"That was my fault."
"I wonder what measures Your Majesty has already arranged to deal with the approaching Scorpio?"
Tendo Juzhicheng asked knowingly.
The young Holy Emperor pretended not to know and explained the instructions he had already given.
"Your Majesty has grown up, but unfortunately you are not mature enough. As the saying goes, a son of a noble family should not sit under a dangerous roof. Therefore, we would like to ask Your Majesty to move to a safe place."
Just as the young Holy Emperor was forced to move to a safe haven on the advice of her wise and experienced advisors, and the city sounded a level one evacuation alarm, causing panic among many citizens.
Meanwhile, in Broly, a group of police officers had already arrived by helicopter in the forest near the old port area of Tokyo Bay to search for Hiruko Kagetane's whereabouts.
"Rentaro, if we're going to search for bad guys, why don't we send more people?"
After Aihara Enju kicked a Stage 2 monster to death, he couldn't help but ask.
"Ordinary people can only deal with Gastrea with firearms, but using firearms will make a lot of noise, which will easily attract a large number of Gastrea to attack in the wild."
Rentaro Satomi explained that this is where police officers are more useful than the military in field operations, because the Initiators mostly use cold weapons.
When dealing with Gastrea, the noise made is small and does not easily attract other wandering Gastrea.
"Bang!"
The boy had barely finished speaking when a huge explosion rang out nearby.
"Who used the high-explosive bomb?"
The enormous explosion shattered the tranquility of the forest at night, and the entire forest stirred into a frenzy.
"Roar~"
The roars rose and fell incessantly, and the boy's face did not look good.
"Broly, let's go over there and take a look."
Trusting the boy's ability to easily defeat the four Gastrea, the boy decided to go and check out the place where the explosion had occurred.
Broly had no objections; the anger of Hiruko Kagetane and his daughter wasn't directed at them. He didn't mind observing from the sidelines while searching for them.
. . . .
"Dad, it sounds like someone is looking for us?"
In the old port warehouse district, Hiruko Kohina, who heard the unusual explosion, said with some excitement.
"It seems they've discovered the Seven Star Relics have been lost again and are trying to reclaim them."
Hiruko Kagetane stood on the cross in the church, and from his vantage point, he could see thick smoke rising from the distant forest.
"Let's take care of those guys."
Hiruko Kohina drew her twin swords.
"My foolish daughter, don't forget that there might be people inside who we can't handle."
"Hey, does that mean we have to hide?"
"Let's play a game. Find those lone police officers who want to find us and take care of them. Before they signal that they've found us, get rid of them first. But if you unfortunately run into Broly Boy, this game is Game Over!"
"Then we'd better be careful to avoid him."
The police are searching for Hiruko Kagetane, while Hiruko Kagetane is hunting down the police. However, considering that Broly might be among the police, the father and daughter are being very cautious, which is completely different from the original plot where they deliberately exposed their tracks to attract people to kill them.
. . . .
A blonde girl with braids runs swiftly through the forest, pursued by several gastrea-like velociraptors.
After running out of a grove of trees, the girl saw a group of three running towards her. She paused for a moment, then ran in the other direction.
"What is she doing?"
Enju Aihara couldn't understand why the Initiator, who was being chased by Gastrea, suddenly changed course and ran away.
"That child probably didn't want to implicate us."
Those small Gastrea were all in Stage 3.
Just as Rentaro Satomi was interpreting the girl's behavior, Broly, who was paddling in the water, suddenly made a move.
"Bang!"
His speed was so fast that it was impossible to see clearly. The velociraptor-like gastrea chasing after the girl was turned into minced meat in the blink of an eye.
"You're safe now, you don't need to run anymore."
Broly came up behind the running girl and said to her.
"Huh?"
The girl, who was running, looked back and saw that the Gastrea that had been chasing her had fallen down, so she stopped.
"Hello, my name is Broly!"
Broly extended his hand and introduced himself.
The only people who would make him actively introduce himself are those he's been accepted as targets by Crystal Palace.
"Uh, I am Chizu Natsuyo."
The blonde girl was slightly taken aback, but still subconsciously reached out and shook hands with the boy's outstretched hand.
"What happened? Where are your facilitators? Did you cause that big explosion?"
The boy walked over and asked.
