Realizer of Death : The Reaper

Chapter 163 163



Not long after Tenku left, a man and woman in their twenties approached Setsuka. She wasn't wary but felt happy when she saw the two people. Setsuka knew the man and woman because they were members of the Fuyushima Temple.

"We came to deliver the things you ordered, Miss." The woman said politely to Setsuka, handing her a small black box.

Setsuka received the small box and opened it. When she saw its contents, she smiled in satisfaction and quickly closed it. After that, Setsuka put it in the space pocket for fear of damage or loss.

The two people were shocked after they saw Setsuka's expression. They had seen Setsuka smile when she was chatting with her parents and Kohana, but the change in her face was minor, and she still gave off the air of a cold and aloof girl.

This was natural because they were Setsuka's family, and the girl did it so that the conversation between them would not be awkward. But now, Setsuka showed a sincere smile from the bottom of her heart. That means the girl's mood is very good, and she feels happy.

"I'm sorry for causing trouble for you two. Thank you for bringing my order to this place." Setsuka looked at the two people and bowed her head slightly.

"Please raise your head, miss. You don't need to thank us. We will be happy to help you if you need us. After all, we intend to visit this place to spend our vacation. Because of that, she and I were tasked with delivering this thing to you." The man shook his head and replied.

"Then, can you help me one more time?" Setsuka asked.

"Miss, feel free to tell us. What can we do for you? We'll do it if it's within our means." The woman answered without hesitation.

"Could you two look after Kohana for me for a bit? I have something I must do now." Setsuka said and pointed at her little sister, who was playing with the butterfly she had caught. Kohana smiled broadly when she saw dozens of beautiful butterflies in a cage.

"Of course. Leave the matter to us. We will protect Miss Kohana with our lives. So you can finish your business with peace of mind." The man quickly agreed, and the woman beside him nodded.

"Thank You. In that case, I will be leaving now." Setsuka bowed once more to them and left the scene. She took something from her space pocket and ran towards the foot of Mt. Fuji.

***

After Tenku left Setsuka and Kohana, he quickly headed to the foot of Mt. Fuji. He had come to that place not because he wanted to see the beautiful scenery but to provoke the people closely following him.

"Do you want to stay hidden and follow me secretly or bravely show your faces to me?" Tenku suddenly stopped at a location with no occupants. He had confirmed with his spiritual sense that there was no one other than him and the people hiding not far from him.

"Ooh, so you noticed us. Did you deliberately stop in this deserted place after knowing we were following you? Do you think you can beat us? Or have you set a trap for us here?" A man came out from behind a large rock.

He was the leader of the people in black suits that Tenku met in front of his apartment last night. He wasn't alone as several people in the same outfit, including the scout, appeared from behind.

"I don't have time to set a trap for you. That person should know because he has been watching me since I left the apartment this morning. You can ask him." Tenku pointed at the scout.

"You! You've been aware that I've been following and watching over you!? So when our eyes met earlier, you were looking at me instead of accidentally looking at someone else randomly?" The scout said in disbelief.

"Yeah, you're right." Tenku nodded in response.

The answer made the scout drop to his knees. He was sure he had disguised himself and dispelled his presence very well. Apart from that, he also mingled with hundreds of visitors at Lake Motosu. But he didn't expect that a first-year student from high school would have such terrifying senses and be able to spot him. This destroyed his confidence as one of the best scouts in Japan.

"Stand up. He might have a device that can detect you. So you don't need to be discouraged." The leader said to the scout. After that, he returned his attention to Tenku.

"I don't know what trick you have used to find out our scouts, but it won't work in your current situation. You are alone, and we have surrounded you. So come with us obediently to meet our boss now, or we will force you by force.

Of course, you will have a painful experience if you choose the latter option. We will break your legs and arms so you cannot fight back." The leader said coldly. Then he and the men in black behind him manifested their Phantasmal Objects. They were Realizers, but all of them were low-level.

"Why do you insist on taking me to your boss? I don't know him." Tenku looked at the leader and asked. The leader saw that Tenku was confused because he didn't know what they wanted to bring him to Shigeru.

"Do you not know?" The leader narrowed his eyes and asked seriously. Even though he was sure he could catch Tenku, he still had to act carefully.

The leader was worried that Setsuka would suddenly appear and catch them wanting to take Tenku by force. That was enough evidence for Fuyushima Temple and Holy Union to take action against them and Shigeru. So it would be better if he could bring Tenku in a good way.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have asked about it twice." Tenku replied and sighed. He had asked about the same thing yesterday and was repeating it now. Of course, Tenku did it to strengthen his acting to make it look real.

He thought Shigeru wanted to meet him because he intended to investigate his son's death, but Tenku still wanted to know it directly from the leader's mouth. Tenku thought that Shigeru might have another goal.

"Do you know Shinji Yamanaka? He is one of the freshmen at Suisei High School, just like you." the leader asked.

"Shinji?" Tenku said confusedly. He pondered and pretended like he was trying to remember the name. But then shook his head at the leader.

"You don't know him? He was the one you fought with before you left for the mission at lake Shima." The leader tried to remind Tenku about Shinji.

He watched the boy seriously and checked the change on his face. But Tenku looked at him confusedly. The leader felt that the boy was telling the truth after he saw his expression.

The argument between the two before leaving for Lake Shima might be a coincidence, and it had nothing to do with Shinji's death. Even so, the leader still had to bring Tenku to Shigeru because the boss was the one who would determine if Tenku was right or wrong.

"Ah! Do you mean it's a male student trying to get close to Akina? Yes, I remember him. I don't know his name, but I heard from the teachers that he suddenly disappeared during a mission at Lake Shima. So what does that have to do with me?" Tenku finally figured out their goal, just as he had expected.

"I'll get straight to the point. You are one of the people suspected of killing Shinji. Therefore, our boss wants to meet you and interrogate you. He had done the same to them, but they had been found not guilty after further investigation.

So I was hoping you could come to see my boss and give him everything you know about Shinji's death. If you are proven innocent, then we will release you." The leader said politely and tried to persuade Tenku to meet Shigeru.

If Tenku wanted to come with them, that would be the best outcome. There wouldn't be any commotion in that place, and Setsuka couldn't meddle in their affairs. This way, they wouldn't have to clash with the Fuyushima Temple.

"I still don't understand what your boss means. The student named Shinji was declared missing by the teachers and did not die. Then how can your boss say that I am one of the people suspected of being the murderer of his son? If he thinks I am the culprit, he can report me to the police or my organization.

Wouldn't that be easier and less troublesome for you? If I am guilty, I will be punished according to the law. But if not, then I will be released. Isn't that simple? Besides, did your boss let go of the people you've interrogated after they were proven innocent?" Tenku narrowed his eyes at the leader and asked seriously.

Tenku didn't know Shigeru, but he felt that the man would not let go of the people he had taken by force because it would bring him trouble.

The leader's face darkened after hearing Tenku's words. He thought the boy would obey and come with them to see Shigeru. It turns out that Tenku didn't have that kind of intention from the start. But the leader still had other ways to get him to his boss without them having to fight.

"Don't you have a close relationship with the female student named Akina? She is also on the list of people suspected of being Shinji's killer. So if you don't want to meet our boss now, we'll take her to..." The leader tried to threaten Tenku using Akina, but before he finished his sentence, the boy disappeared from his sight and suddenly appeared in front of him holding a scythe.

The leader and his subordinates were shocked because they didn't notice at all when Tenku made a move. They couldn't say anything because Tenku suddenly unleashed his bloodlust on them.

"I hate people who threaten me with those closest to me." Tenku said coldly and slashed his scythe horizontally. After that, the leader's and his men's bodies were cut in half without them even having a chance to scream. They didn't know what had happened even after they died, and the scythe devoured their corpses until nothing remained.

"Okay. Now is the time to end this problem by eliminating the boss of the pests." Tenku muttered and climbed Mount Fuji at a terrifying speed. He reached the top in less than fifteen minutes and then checked the GPS on his dimension watch to determine his position. After he confirmed its location, he manifested the Golden Revolver in his right hand and activated the ability.

"Phantasmal release..."

NINE TRANSFORMATIONS

THIRD FORM : SNIPER MODE

Tenku's Phantasmal Object was engulfed in a golden light and then gradually increased in size. After the light disappeared, the Golden Revolver became a sniper with a shape similar to the golden SVD Dragunov but looks more modern and futuristic.

"This is my first time using the Golden Revolver's Third form. I'm curious about its power. I hope this weapon does not disappoint me." Tenku said seriously and looked at one of Tokyo's high-rise buildings.
