The next day, the office of Tendou Civil Security Company.
The office, clearly having undergone some tidying up, was much cleaner than before Morin left last night.
Kisara Tendo was still wearing that black school uniform, but she didn't have the hurried and flustered feeling she had when talking with Morin yesterday. Her elegant young lady demeanor was indeed a sight to behold.
Kisara Tendo sat behind the simple desk. The slightly cheap desk and equipment couldn't conceal her figure. Her cultivated young lady aura made people ignore the relatively simple office setup. When they saw Kisara Tendo, they paid even more attention, and seeing her sharp eyes, not many people would think this black-haired beauty was just a pretty face.
Of course, when Morin just walked into the office and saw Kisara Tendo sitting behind the desk, his mind couldn't help but slightly compare the black-haired beauty in front of him with her alluring half-naked image from last night!
"Hmph~!"
Noticing that Morin's gaze was a bit strange, scanning the proud parts of her body, Kisara Tendo, who had just adopted a young lady demeanor, seemed to have thought of something. A blush appeared on her face, and she directly let out a cold snort.
Kisara Tendo stared intently at Morin, just short of saying, "Be careful, don't talk nonsense!"
"Uh? Kisara..."
The inexplicable communication between Kisara Tendo and Morin made one of the other two people in the office, a boy who looked to be at most a high school student, somewhat bewildered, looking at Kisara Tendo with a puzzled expression.
Rentaro Satomi!
The boy wearing a pure black student uniform that resembled a suit looked to be about 1.75 meters tall. He wore a badge from some high school on his chest, but he had a handgun strapped to his waist, making it clear at a glance that this person could not possibly be a so-called "ordinary" high school student.
After all, although the "Black Bullet" world had experienced the disaster of the Gastrea rampage, and humanity had retreated to the settlement areas within the Monolith's range, it wasn't too rare for people in the settlement areas to possess weapons. However, apart from soldiers, police officers, special security personnel, and Civil Security officers, seeing ordinary people openly brandishing weapons and swaggering on the streets of the Tokyo Area was not allowed.
Morin knew that the seemingly listless young man was Rentaro Satomi, the only Civil Security officer in Tendou Civil Security Company, and the male protagonist of the "Black Bullet" anime.
Beside Rentaro Satomi was a twin-tailed Initiator loli, none other than his partner, Enju Aihara!
"Huff~!"
Seeing both Rentaro Satomi and his partner Enju Aihara looking at her, Kisara Tendo, with her pent-up frustration having nowhere to go, closed her eyes and took a deep breath before calmly looking at Rentaro Satomi and Enju Aihara. She directly pointed her finger at Morin and introduced them to each other, "This is Mr. Morin, ranked IP3766 in the World Civil Security Ranking... These two are our company's Civil Security team, Rentaro Satomi and his Initiator partner, Enju Aihara!"
"Eh?!"
"Hello!"
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Morin!"...
Hearing Kisara Tendo's introduction, Morin was quite enthusiastic in greeting Rentaro Satomi and Enju Aihara, while the male protagonist and Enju responded somewhat blankly or politely.
Clearly, Enju was quite attached to her Promoter, but wasn't very enthusiastic about Morin, a stranger. Rentaro Satomi, on the other hand, didn't know Morin at all, but he understood the significance of being ranked in the top three thousand among over two hundred thousand Civil Security officers globally at least he knew that being in such a high position couldn't mean that person was weak!
The only thing Rentaro Satomi didn't understand was why Kisara Tendo had been so unhappy when he brought Enju over last night, mentioning someone coming today, and now she had an inexplicably angry expression?
"Miss Kisara, what do you mean by having them come over..."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Morin turned to look at Kisara Tendo, making his meaning very clear.
Last night, when Morin mentioned joining forces and opposing the Tendou family, did he also need Rentaro Satomi and Enju Aihara to be present for the discussion?
Kisara Tendo's eyes flickered slightly, and she said directly, "Rentaro and Enju have the right to choose!"
"...Whatever!"
Hearing Kisara Tendo's words and looking at the confused Rentaro Satomi and Enju Aihara, Morin didn't pay too much attention to Kisara Tendo's painstaking arrangement.
Anyway, Morin was looking for Kisara Tendo, Rentaro Satomi, and the others more to leverage the protagonist relationships from the "Black Bullet" anime to jointly deal with Tendou Kikunojo, who was destined to be on the enemy's side. Morin couldn't quite figure out Rentaro Satomi's thoughts, but he didn't need to worry about Kisara Tendo's stance!
"Kisara, what exactly are you talking about?"
Seeing the seemingly cryptic exchange between Morin and Kisara Tendo, Enju Aihara was puzzled but didn't pay too much attention, while Rentaro Satomi was somewhat confused, looking at Kisara Tendo with some suspicion and uncertainty as he asked.
Last night, Kisara Tendo hadn't said much to Rentaro Satomi, even only mentioning to Rentaro Satomi, who had brought Enju back, that someone would be coming. At that time, Kisara Tendo, perhaps because she was somewhat dazed or too focused on the topic Morin had brought up, hadn't even mentioned Morin's name and origins to Rentaro Satomi, let alone the things Morin had talked about.
Now, Rentaro Satomi finally sensed that something was wrong. It seemed that Kisara Tendo, who usually didn't hide much from him, had faint dark circles around her beautiful eyes, and she had already discussed some important matters with this Civil Security officer named Morin?
"Of course, it's about how I offended the Tendou family and plan to join forces with Miss Kisara and you..."
Seeing Rentaro Satomi's cautious and questioning expression, and even Enju Aihara looking completely bewildered, Morin couldn't help but look at Kisara Tendo sitting behind the desk, his tone also sounding questioning, "What? Miss Kisara, you didn't even tell Rentaro about this?"
"Hehe... this..."
Seeing Rentaro Satomi and Enju Aihara both turn their heads to look, their eyes carrying strange and reproachful expressions, Kisara Tendo couldn't help but chuckle a few times, but didn't know how to answer this question.
Should she tell everyone that Miss Kisara Tendo had forgotten to tell them such a thing?
"Alright! Now that everything is clear, let's get down to business!"
Morin looked somewhat speechlessly at Kisara Tendo, couldn't help but gently rub his forehead, and then looked at the others in the office, his tone turning serious as he said, "Last night, I had no choice but to come looking for Miss Kisara because I had fallen out with Tendou Kikunojo, and that's why I'm preparing to cooperate with you to fight against the Tendou family..."
"Wait, Mr. Morin, what I want to know is, why did you offend the Tendou family?"
Before Morin could finish speaking, Rentaro Satomi suddenly raised his hand, signaling him to stop, interrupting Morin's narration and asking his own question.
"Because Mr. Morin and his Initiator partner helped those children in the Thirty-ninth District!"
Kisara Tendo answered Rentaro Satomi's question, even saying with a hint of admiration, "More accurately, it was about a month ago that Mr. Morin came to the Tokyo Area from another settlement area, then moved into the Thirty-ninth District and sheltered those Cursed Children."
"It's said that during Mr. Morin's time in the Thirty-ninth District, the situation there has greatly changed, and the living environment of the Cursed Children in the Thirty-ninth District has improved significantly. Even many Cursed Children in the Tokyo Area have heard rumors about the Thirty-ninth District and have begun to choose to run to the Thirty-ninth District area instead of enduring that difficult and often dangerous life in garbage dumps and sewers. They also hope for a better living environment."
"However, Mr. Morin's actions have also been met with hostility from many people. It's said that a group of anti-Gastrea extremists disappeared in the Thirty-ninth District the day before yesterday, and even the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is preparing to cause him trouble because of this!"
"Yesterday, Mr. Morin even offended Tendou Kikunojo, so he came to seek our cooperation!"
"This..."
Rentaro Satomi looked at Morin in astonishment, but couldn't say anything.
Not only was Rentaro Satomi speechless, but Kisara Tendo's gaze as she spoke and looked at Morin also changed, carrying a hint of admiration and a trace of displeased shame.
After all, last night's experience was definitely something that made Kisara Tendo extremely ashamed and angry. If it hadn't been for the fact that Morin didn't have any malicious intentions and had proactively offered suggestions to her questions, Kisara Tendo would have had the thought of finding an opportunity to fight Morin to the death after last night.
Compared to Rentaro Satomi and Kisara Tendo, Enju Aihara's reaction was even stronger!
"Mr. Morin, may I ask you something? Did you really help those companions in the Thirty-ninth District?"
Enju Aihara, who had been quietly staying behind Rentaro Satomi, inseparable like a follower, raised her head to look at Morin. Her beautiful big eyes stared intently at Morin, and her clear voice sounded very serious and cautious.
"That's right!"
Morin looked at Enju Aihara, nodded, and said very firmly.
Morin had already understood Enju Aihara's serious attitude from Kohina, Riko, and the other Cursed Children at least, in the Tokyo Area of the "Black Bullet" world, the living conditions of the Cursed Children could be described as extremely harsh. And these poor lolis, besides being bewildered as to why they were treated this way, even more yearned for the rare help and affection that was given to them!
"Thank you, I thank you!"
Hearing Morin's answer, a tear flashed in Enju Aihara's eyes, and she bowed her head to thank Morin proactively.
As a Cursed Child, Enju Aihara also understood her own situation and that of her companions. Even though she now had a very good relationship with her Promoter and had even obtained a happiness she hadn't dared to imagine before, she was still powerless regarding the plight of other Cursed Children!
Morin nodded, not saying anything about Enju Aihara's gratitude. He only felt more and more sympathy for the situation of those lolis, and the plan he had been conceiving in his heart became even more certain...
Seeing that the situation seemed to be digressing too much, the observing Kisara Tendo couldn't help but cough lightly. Then, seeing Morin's gaze turn towards her, she finally spoke, "Now, I believe Rentaro and Enju, you have no more questions, right? Do you want to continue listening?"
"...May I ask, what kind of cooperation do Kisara and Mr. Morin plan to have?"
Rentaro Satomi was silent for a few seconds, then raised his head to look at Morin, who had a very calm expression, and Kisara Tendo, who had a hint of anticipation on her face. Like Enju Aihara, he didn't say anything in opposition, but instead confirmed that the office door was closed again before asking the question he was concerned about.
"The truth about the Gastrea attack that the Tendou family encountered back then, the death of my parents..."
Kisara Tendo lowered her head slightly, but her pair of black beautiful eyes became increasingly bright, their brilliance even making Rentaro Satomi's body tremble involuntarily.
Endless flames of hatred!
Rentaro Satomi certainly knew the reason for Kisara Tendo's long-held hatred.
When Kisara Tendo was young, the Tendou family, already one of the prominent families in Tokyo at the time, had strangely encountered a Gastrea attack. Kisara Tendo's parents had died tragically before her eyes. Rentaro Satomi had even lost an eye, an arm, and a leg because of this, and had to undergo mechanical soldier surgery. Although Kisara Tendo had also survived, her kidneys had been damaged, forcing her to rely on dialysis to maintain her physical condition, and each dialysis treatment caused Kisara Tendo herself great pain.
It wasn't that the Tendou family didn't have the money to transplant suitable kidneys for Kisara Tendo, but after noticing the strangeness of the incident at the time, Kisara Tendo, in order to remember her desire for revenge, preferred to use painful dialysis treatments to remind herself!
Regarding Kisara Tendo's choice, Rentaro Satomi didn't know what to say.
From his own perspective, Rentaro Satomi didn't want Kisara Tendo to live in the shadow of hatred, but he couldn't make Kisara Tendo give up that deeply ingrained hatred!
Now, the arrival of this unfamiliar Civil Security officer, Morin, and Kisara Tendo's strange behavior made Rentaro Satomi's heart grow heavier not only did he realize that Kisara Tendo had not given up on her thoughts of revenge, but more so, he had no idea what kind of deal or things Kisara Tendo and Morin had discussed. This feeling was very unpleasant for Rentaro Satomi!
Unfortunately, Rentaro Satomi looked at Morin and Kisara Tendo but understood that he couldn't stop their conversation, and had to respond with silence.
"Miss Kisara, are you sure you want to know the reasons behind your parents' death and the Tendou family's involvement?"
Unaware of the thoughts swirling in the male protagonist's mind, Morin looked at Kisara Tendo sitting behind the desk, meeting her gaze, and reminded her again,
"You should know that my conditions, besides cooperation, also include other requests that you must agree to!"
