"This is it. Roy, do you want to come inside with me?" Kisara asked as they arrived at a luxurious building.

This was the headquarters of the Tendō family, where her grandfather, Kikunojou Tendō, resided. He was also the advisor to Seitenshi, the ruler of this area.

They needed his permission to apply for an Initiator.

Roy would have been interested in meeting Seitenshi, but he had no interest in this old man.

"I'll pass," he said, shaking his head.

Kisara sighed. "Alright, then wait for me here."

"Okay, go ahead." Roy smiled and waved her off.

Kisara entered the building.

Roy wandered down the street, bored.

Suddenly, he spotted a familiar figure.

A little girl with wavy blonde hair, dressed in a green dress, was dozing off on a bench in a nearby park.

Roy instantly recognized her as Tina Sprout.

She was Kisara's Initiator partner in the original story.

But initially—Tina had been hired to assassinate Kisara.

The one who had hired her was Sogen Saitake—the ruler of Osaka Area.

He had later tried to assassinate Seitenshi as well—but he had failed.

Tina possessed the Owl Factor—making her most powerful at night.

During the day, she was prone to drowsiness and needed caffeine to stay active.

And she was incredibly strong, even stronger than Enju Aihara.

Roy found it adorable that she was taking a nap here.

He remembered that this was around the time she received the assassination request.

So, she must be here to carry out her mission.

With that in mind, Roy walked over and sat down next to her.

Tina didn't react. She didn't seem to sense any danger.

Roy gently pulled her into his arms.

Tina snuggled closer, enjoying the warmth, and continued sleeping.

Roy chuckled. She was so cute when she was sleepy.

Perhaps because she was so comfortable, Tina soon woke up.

She blinked, surprised to find herself in someone's arms.

Then, she saw Roy and her eyes lit up.

"Kami-sama!" she exclaimed.

She recognized Roy as the god who had granted them his protection.

And she felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to him.

"Tina, just call me Roy-onii-chan," Roy said with a smile, patting her head.

"Roy-onii-chan!" Tina repeated, feeling instantly comfortable with him.

All the Cursed Children who had received Roy's protection felt a sense of trust and affection towards him.

"Tina, you're here for the assassination mission, aren't you?" Roy suddenly asked.

"Yes, that's right," Tina confirmed with a nod.

"Forget about that mission. Come with me," Roy said, standing up and taking her hand.

"Okay!" Tina readily agreed with a smile.

She didn't feel any attachment to her previous employer...

Kisara had been inside the building for a while now, but she still hadn't come out.

Roy used his magic to see what was happening inside.

And what he saw displeased him.

"Let's go, Tina. We're going to find Kisara and take her home."

"Going home? Yay!"

They entered the building.

The guards at the entrance didn't react to their presence.

Roy and Tina soon reached an office.

Without knocking, Roy pushed the door open.

Inside, several members of the Tendō family were mocking Kisara for requesting another Initiator.

Kikunojou Tendō was among them.

A young man—about the same age as Kisara, was particularly vocal in his insults.

When Kisara had tried to kill the Tendō family members who had framed her parents, Kikunojou had stopped her with a guilt trip—claiming that her actions would endanger the entire region.

And now, they seemed to have forgotten about Kisara's strength, or perhaps her constant tolerance had emboldened them.

"Kisara, I won't allow them to bully you like this. These people are your enemies, right? If you can't bring yourself to kill them, I can do it for you," Roy declared, ignoring their protests about his intrusion.

In his eyes, these people were nothing but ants.

"But..." Kisara hesitated.

The Tendō family was an influential power in this region. Even Seitenshi—relied on Kikunojou Tendō's guidance.

If the important members of the Tendō family were killed, the entire region might fall into chaos.

That's why Kisara had been forced to give up on her revenge, threatened with the lives of everyone in the region.

And her tolerance had only emboldened them!

——

"Roy-onii-chan, do you need me to take care of them?" Tina asked in a soft voice, her eyes narrowed dangerously.

Although she looked harmless, she was a skilled assassin, proficient in using sniper rifles, handguns, and even close combat.

Roy patted her head, signaling her to calm down.

Just then, Kazumitsu Tendō clapped his hands, and several guards rushed in, aiming their guns at them.

He believed that even Kisara wouldn't be able to defeat so many armed guards.

Kisara frowned and drew her sword, but she hesitated.

Roy sighed inwardly. This uncorrupted Kisara was too soft-hearted.

If it were Saeko—she would have attacked without hesitation, regardless of the consequences.

It seemed Kisara needed some "training" as well.

Roy's eyes gleamed, and he cast an illusion on Kisara.

Kisara, who had been glaring at Kazumitsu, suddenly found herself back in that tragic night when her parents were killed.

She saw her parents being slaughtered by the Gastrea, and the Tendō family members laughing cruelly.

Kisara's heart was filled with rage, and she finally snapped.

She emerged from the illusion—her sword flashing.

Slash!

The guards behind her were decapitated, their blood splattering across the room.

The Tendō family members were horrified.

They hadn't expected Kisara to actually attack, and so ruthlessly.

"Kisara—you have to understand! If you kill us, the entire region will fall into chaos! You'll be responsible for the deaths of everyone!" Kikunojou exclaimed—resorting to his usual guilt-tripping tactics.

But Kisara—consumed by rage, ignored him.

"Haa!" she shouted, her sword dancing through the air.

When the dust settled, only corpses remained in the office.

All the members of the Tendō family were dead.

Roy—looking at the bloodthirsty Kisara, sighed. It seemed she couldn't snap out of this state on her own.

He snapped his fingers, and Kisara returned to normal.

She stared at the carnage in horror.

"What happened? Did you do this, Roy?" she asked, her voice trembling.

She didn't remember what she had done in her rage.

"No, you did," Roy replied calmly.

Kisara looked at the wounds on the bodies and realized that they were indeed caused by her sword. She frowned, but she also felt a sense of satisfaction.

She had finally done what she had always wanted to do but never dared to.

But then, worry washed over her.

Without Kikunojou Tendō, Seitenshi wouldn't be able to manage this region.

Chaos would ensue.

And humanity would be doomed.

"Don't worry about it. You're not human anymore, remember?" Roy said with a smile, patting her head gently.

Kisara blinked, but she still couldn't shake off her worry.

"Let's go."

Roy took Tina's hand and left the office...

The news of the Tendō family massacre spread quickly.

The entire region was in a panic.

The Cursed Children's rebellion—coupled with the deaths of the Tendō family leaders—had thrown the region into chaos.

——

The next day, someone brought two Initiators to the Tendō Civil Security Corporation.

"Kisara-san, these are the Initiators assigned to you by Seitenshi-sama," a group of officials said, presenting two little girls.

One was Enju Aihara, with her long Crimson hair and a melancholic expression.

The other was Kayo Senju, a girl with emotionless black eyes and short blonde hair.

She was the Initiator partnered with Shougen Ikuma in the original story. She possessed the Dolphin Factor, which gave her an IQ of 210, but her regeneration abilities were weaker than those of other Initiators.

But it seemed she hadn't met Shougen yet.

"Thank you," Kisara said politely.

The officials left.

"I didn't expect Seitenshi to have the time to deal with this," Kisara mused.

With the region in chaos, Seitenshi must be very busy. She hadn't expected her request for Initiators to be processed so quickly.

She was right. Not only was the region in chaos, but there was also unrest within the government.

Without Kikunojou Tendō to keep them in check, the other factions were vying for power.

After all—everyone knew that Seitenshi was just a figurehead.
