Chapter 279 279
Time returned to when Setsuka and the others met Hijiri. After Tenku and Kohana separated from the girls, they went to the location of the food stall at Caretta Shiodome. Both want to enjoy the snacks that are sold in that place.
They came to one stall and went to another because Kohana wanted to taste all the food at Caretta Shiodome. Tenku could only sigh and follow where Kohana wanted to go. Although he complained, he felt happy seeing the big smile on the little girl's face. Tenku felt his longing for his sister relieved when he saw Kohana's expression.
After they visited several food stalls, Tenku suddenly got a message on his smartphone. He quickly checked it and was surprised by its contents. The ones who sent the message were Setsuka and the other two girls. Although their words were different, they told him the same thing. Tenku didn't expect that they would meet Hijiri at Caretta Shiodome.
"Why had Hijiri suddenly asked Wang Ruyue to spar, and why had the girl accepted?" Tenku sighed and shook his head. He didn't want to think about it any further. Tenku was sure that Wang Ruyue had a reason for accepting Hijiri's invitation to spar, and he could already guess a little about it, even though he still doubted it.
"What's wrong, big brother?" Kohana looked at Tenku and asked with a mouth full of food. She didn't know what Tenku was saying as she focused on the food stalls around her, but she heard when he sighed at the end of his words.
"It's nothing. I just got a message from your sister saying that they met Hijiri Natsukawa." Tenku said and smiled. Then he wiped the food residue stuck to the corner of her lips.
"Huh? Sister Hijiri also came here?" Kohana was surprised when she heard that. She often met Hijiri when she played at Suisei High School, but their relationship was not very close.
"Yeah, she came to Caretta Shiodome, and now she's taking Wang Ruyue to spar." Tenku answered.
"I see. It wouldn't be strange for her to take sister Ruyue to spar since she often does it with big sister." Kohana nodded repeatedly while folding her arms, and it looked so adorable.
"Well then, we'll be going around this place briefly. After that, we will go there to meet them." Tenku stroked Kohana's small head.
"Yes! I still want to taste some more food here! Let's go now!" Kohana raised one of her hands and replied excitedly. Tenku could only smile when he saw her cute behavior.
Fifteen minutes later, Tenku stopped going to the food stalls after Kohana was full and could no longer eat the snacks she bought. They decided to go to Setsuka and the others' place to see Wang Ruyue's sparring against Hijiri.
Tenku already got their location, and it's not too far from their current position. But he stopped walking and frowned when still far from the girls' location. Tenku released his spiritual sense periodically to inspect the surroundings as he didn't want the incident when he met Akina to repeat itself. He did not expect that he would encounter such a familiar presence. That person was Omega, one of the terrorists he had seen in Amanohashidate.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"How did that person get here?" Tenku said with a solemn face.
"What's wrong, big brother?" Kohana asked worriedly after she saw Tenku suddenly stop, and his expression changed.
"It's nothing." Tenku smiled and shook his head. Then he stroked Kohana's head gently.
"Huh? Why am I suddenly sleepy? Did I eat too much?" Kohana said in a weak voice, and her eyelids felt heavy. Not long after, she fell asleep in Tenku's arms.
"Rest a bit. I will deal with this matter first." Tenku stroked Kohana's cheeks. He used his spiritual power to put the little girl to sleep because he didn't want her to see how he acted. Then Tenku looked around the surroundings and approached a tall building near him.
Tenku went to the roof of the building and laid down Kohana. Afterward, he manifested the Golden Revolver into sniper mode. Tenku could see the situation of Setsuka and the others from that place. His expression became serious when he found the girls were in danger.
He quickly loaded a fourth-level monster core into his Phantasmal Object and aimed it at Omega. He wouldn't use that attack if his opponent were in his peak state.
Tenku would choose to fight Omega head-on to ensure he kills him. But that was risky because he had to show himself as the Reaper before Hijiri. Tenku didn't want to do that because his name would be in the reports after he defeated Omega. It would invite unnecessary attention from the organization's headquarters.
Fortunately, the Omega was in a state of injury. So Tenku is confident of killing him without having to show himself. He aimed his sniper at Omega, then compressed Genesis power and Qi into the fourth-level monster core. Apart from that, he also injects sword intent into his bullets to increase the penetration level of his attacks. After Tenku was sure of the target, he pulled the trigger.
Tactical Fire!
Bang!
Tenku's bullet shot with terrifying speed and pierced Omega's forehead.
Spurt!
***
Spurt!
Blood spurted, and Omega fell to the ground. After that, his body did not move in the slightest.
"What has happened?" Hijiri said confusedly when she saw that. The situation was changing too fast, and she couldn't digest it.
"What has happened to him? Why did he suddenly fall?" Keiko also feels the same way as her.
Previously, Omega had easily destroyed the ice dome Setsuka had created. But then he suddenly looked in a certain direction, and his body fell to the ground.
"I don't know. We should check it out." Setsuka shook her head. She still didn't know what had happened to Omega.
"Yes, you're right. But we'd better be careful. I don't know what happened to him, but I'm worried he's just pretending and will suddenly attack us." Wang Ruyue agreed to the words but did not let her guard down.
"Then let's do it." Hijiri nodded and then used her foot to flip over the Omega's body.
"What!?" the girls were shocked for different reasons after they found a bloody hole in Omega's forehead. Hijiri and Keiko were confused as to who had attacked him.
On the other hand, Setsuka and the other two girls smiled because they knew who had killed Omega. His wound was due to being pierced by a bullet, and they only know one person who can kill a Realizer in the Planetary phase with one shot, and that person is Tenku.
"Does he know what happened to us here?" Kirika whispered. She didn't want Hijiri and Keiko to hear her words.
"Where is he now?" Wang Ruyue looked around for Tenku. But no matter how hard she searched, she couldn't find him.
"You won't be able to find him anywhere. If I remember correctly, he should have fired the bullet with his Phantasmal Object in sniper mode. So he should be very far away from this place." Setsuka replied. She had seen Tenku use the Golden Revolver in sniper mode. So Setsuka knew the capabilities of that weapon. After all, Tenku couldn't show himself because Hijiri and Keiko were there.
Hijiri was confused about why Setsuka, Kirika, and Wang Ruyue looked calm and smiled when they saw that scene. She thought that they should have the same reaction as her. Strangely, they don't care about the cause of Omega's death. Then she saw the three girls chatting among themselves in low voices. Hijiri was curious about what they were discussing but didn't dare to ask.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"What should we do?" Keiko suddenly asked, bringing the girls' attention to Omega's corpse.
"We can contact our organization and let them care for this person. You can ask the Natsukawa family to handle it if you want. I will also contact my father and let him decide. After all, Tokyo is the territory of Fuyushima Temple and the Natsukawa family.
So we have to take responsibility for this terrorist. In addition, it is related to the headquarters of the League of Heroes and the Kinzoku family. So let our family handle it, as I don't want to meddle any further." Setsuka looked at Hijiri and answered.
Kirika and Wang Ruyue nodded in response to her words. They didn't want to deal with the matter because they came to Caretta Shiodome to have fun and not to work.
"Yes, I will immediately contact my father about this. If your words are true, then this problem is quite big." Hijiri said seriously.
Setsuka and the others had explained a bit about Omega, but they had not told her about the serum he had stolen from the League of Heroes headquarters, as doing so would only cause them trouble. The League of Heroes and the Kinzoku family would interrogate them about where they got that information. Setsuka didn't want that to happen because it would be too troublesome.
"That's good. Then..." Setsuka wanted to leave that place and return to Tenku and Kohana quickly. But Hijiri quickly opened her mouth again before she could finish her sentence.
"By the way, who is the person who killed this terrorist? Do you know about it?" Hijiri looked at Setsuka, Wang Ruyue, and Kirika in turn. She suspected they knew something about the matter because their reactions were unnatural.
The three girls were surprised because they didn't expect that Hijiri would suddenly ask them about that. But Wang Ruyue and the other two tried to keep their composure so the girl wouldn't be suspicious of them.
"I don't know. That guy killed Omega using ranged attacks, so I can't see him." Setsuka answered calmly.
"I also couldn't find that person after searching for him." Wang Ruyue shook her head.
"Me too." Kirika added.
"Is that so?" Hijiri narrowed her eyes at them. She did not believe in their words.
"Yes." Kirika and the others nodded and replied in unison.
"Okay. Then we should ask our family and organization to take care of this matter now." Setsuka tried to divert their conversation. He didn't want Hijiri to ask them any deeper.
"I understand." Hijiri sighed. She didn't believe their words, but she couldn't force them to answer if they didn't want to say so.
After that, Hijiri and Setsuka called their families and explained the problems. Besides them, Kirika also contacted her organization since it was related to their headquarters. The girls waited there until the people they contacted came to the place to deal with Omega's corpse.
