Today, Rentaro sat down on a chair in the reception room again.

It's just that the person on the other side is not Sumire or Yanzhu.

For a long time, Rentaro fell silent because he didn't know what to say. The girl in the black sailor suit on the opposite side seemed to be the same. The second hand of the wall clock on the wall made an inorganic sound of Titicaca, and after about three minutes of precious meeting time, the girl finally spoke: "Sorry, I originally planned to come earlier"

"Nothing, don't care. Miss Kigen. Since he had heard from Yeonzhu beforehand, Rentaro could barely pretend to be calm.

Of course, Rentaro who was held in the detention center had no way of knowing, but after Rentaro was arrested and Tong Sheng was taken away, a large number of reporters naturally had to gather around Kigen.

Although Rentaro respects Kigen from the bottom of his heart for being both intelligent and bold, he also knows that she is just a sentimental sixteen-year-old girl.

In addition, the absence of Tong Sheng and Rentaro also means that the number of partners available for mission by Tiantong Civil Security Company is zero.

Although the initiator of the wooden gambit is still there, she can only sit in the office because of her kidneys.

I also heard from Yeonzhu that the number of requests that was originally small was rejected due to the company's reasons. In addition, in order to seek spiritual support, he went to Lord Yang Xi several times to negotiate, and Yanzhu also mentioned this

"Satomi-san, I've thought about it a lot. Until a clear answer is present, I don't think I should hesitate to meet with Satomi-san. But I finally got the answer. ”

Kigen raised his lowered head and sat upright to stare at Rentaro.

"I'm willing to do anything for Satomi-san. I'm going to help you get the best lawyers. You don't have to worry about money. Tong Sheng will definitely be found not guilty, and we can still run the Tiantong Civil Security Company together with the four of us. It doesn't hurt if it takes a little time. That's my answer. ”

A large amount of emotion squeezed into his chest, and Rentaro looked at Kigen without saying a word.

The poor Tiantong civil security company, which can only eat sweet potatoes for dinner, where does it get all this money? Mu Geng's decision must have been to use the tuition reserves from her private Meihe Women's College, and to convert all her stock and futures holdings into cash-no. The money should still not be enough.

In the event of a loss, the total amount of losses could swell to a staggering figure, leaving the Tendo Civil Security Company in ruins. But even so, she chose this path.

However, Rentaro didn't know that recently, the Tendo Civil Security Company might as well say that Kigen was no longer short of money.

Kigen thinks that Rentaro is very important to her, and it has been fully conveyed through what he just said.

Rentaro closed his eyelids, then slowly opened them.

- That's enough. I shouldn't have been asking for too much.

"Miss Kigen, I appreciate your kindness, but I understand it."

"Why?"

Ignoring the surprised Kigen, Rentaro looked at his knees and said lightly: "You can also calm down, okay?" I've been listening to you say since just now that it's your freedom to indulge in the love of a lonely heroine, but I don't feel like I need your help. ”

"You say, what"

Mu Geng's eyes widened and he was speechless.

Rentaro changed his tone and said as if he was telling the other party, "It's almost time, Miss Kigen?" I can't take care of Miss Kigen like I used to. ”

The happiness of Tendo Kigen cannot be realized by Rentaro's side. This is an indisputable conclusion.

After all, Kigen only needs to see Rentaro's prosthetic eyes and prosthetic limbs. In an instant, she would recall the tragedy of ten years ago, reinforcing her belief in revenge.

In other words, for Kigen, Rentaro's storage zài is equivalent to the painful memory catalyst of his parents being preyed on by protosagulars.

Since one's own existence is just an obstacle to happiness, Tendo Wood is even more with Satomi Rentaro. There is no other means than physical separation. This is the only and last way to make her forget about revenge and live well.

If he could, Rentaro also hoped that he would be able to make Ki happier. If only we could teach her all the joys of being a woman and help her reach the pinnacle of happiness. It's a pity that it can't be done.

"What's your attitude?"

For some reason, Kigen seemed to be very unhappy with Rentaro's cold reaction.

"Satomi-san, is it okay if you are found guilty? Didn't Satomi-san kill him? It makes so much sense. ”

Mu Gengfeng turned around and lowered his head with a red face. He rubbed his thighs timidly.

"You know that I can't fight for long because of my chronic diabetes? So、So after that, I still have to rely on Satomi-san to protect me.。 To be honest, I'm a very weak girl. ”

Rentaro couldn't help but shake his head: "Please, Miss Kigen, don't come back in the future." ”

"Why? Why do you say that? Do you hate me? ”

Rentaro's gaze was straight at Kisara.

- Thank you, Ms. Kisara. Ever since I was adopted by the Tendo family ten years ago, I've been thanking Miss Kigen. Although Miss Kisara's parents sacrificed my hands and feet when they were preyed on by protozoa, the only thing I was proud of was the only thing I was proud of to be protecting Miss Kigen.

I like you, Miss Kigen.

"Please don't come to see me again. I don't want to see your face again. That's it. ”

At the same time as the chair sounded, Mu Geng slammed his feet, his hands covering his mouth, tears spilling from his eyes sliding down his cheeks.

"What is this?"

No matter how much he wiped it, Mu Geng's eyes still kept flowing with tears.

I'm afraid she didn't expect to cry at this time. After saying "oops", she immediately turned around and tried to snatch the door out of the reception room.

Rentaro said to himself - this is better.

Regarding the back of Kigen reaching out to hold the doorknob, Rentaro insisted on watching it as a punishment for himself.

When Kigen's figure was about to disappear behind the door, Rentaro couldn't hold back his tears.

- Don't go, Miss Kisara.

"Rescue—"

Rentaro covered his mouth with both hands, closed his eyes, and swallowed the unfinished words desperately.

Thankfully, the other party did not stop, and the only thing left in the reception room was the sound of the stiff door closing and the cold silence that refused him.

Tears fell from the tip of her nose, and water stains spread across his trousers.

The pain of losing forever something that cannot be replaced made Rentaro lower his voice and whimper.

The image of the Tendo Civil Security Company being torn apart. It spreads quietly in Rentaro's mind.

The next day-

"Why?" I don't know how many times this is the first time Rentaro opened his mouth slightly to ask "why" today, and he looked out at the first ward of the Tokyo area, the Holy House, standing in front of him.

Why are you here?

In retrospect, it should have felt suspicious from the instructions that were sent this morning not in tracksuits but in uniforms and asked him to change into. After all, as soon as he was sent to the detention center, he was warned by the jailer for a long time that the belt and buttons should not be kept.

Two jailers and the driver let Rentaro get into a van and drive on a different road than he usually went to the District Prosecutor's Office, and it was only then that Rentaro realized that something was not quite right. However, he did not hold any emotion, and just accepted this fact lightly.

The scenery outside the van window was lifeless and gloomy in his eyes.

Since the incident of Kigen. Rentaro was sluggish from the stimuli of the outside world and fell into deep thought for a long time.

He tried to pick up the pleasant memories, the happy ones, and let himself sink into them. However, the memory of the Tiantong Civil Security Company that Rentaro desperately reviewed was still unexpectedly short-lived.

"Hey, turn forward, you're going to see the Son of Heaven."

After his consciousness returned to reality, he tried to drive his unfocused thoughts, and only when he finally understood did he suddenly come back to his senses.

"Lord Son of Heaven?"

Do as the jailer says, and a key reaches into his handcuffs. Let Rentaro's hands be set free.

The rope that was tied around his waist like a dog leash was also untied, and two jailers carried him forward one after the other.

It seems that there has been contact beforehand, and the guards standing upright at the door of the holy house let them pass with a slight salute.

After waiting in a reception room with an eagle statue and many trophies, they were taken to the hall where the event was held. The soaring ceiling depicts arched lines. Mosaic puzzles on polished shiny floors. Marble columns stand side by side. Any decoration is beyond the scale of human common sense, and I thought I had accidentally run into the giant's house.

The scene in the Holy Seil was so lavish and exquisite that it could not be compared to the lead-gray walls of the interrogation room and the detention center. Rentaro's love is also somewhat cheerful because of this.

"Hey, take this."

It's amazing. The jailer who said this handed over the police license that was confiscated by Rentaro when he was arrested.

"What's going on? What's next? ”

The jailer did not answer.

Just nudge Rentaro's back and let him stand behind the front of the gate. The door opened with a heavy thud, and bands of light shot through it.

Walking inside, climbing to the top of the winding staircase, the Son of Heaven got up from the throne where he had been sitting and slowly walked in the direction of Rentaro.

The jailers on either side just straightened their backs.

With a wave of his hand, the jailer who was holding Lotus Taro couldn't help but feel flustered.

"It's dangerous to be alone with a prisoner, Lord Heaven."

"It doesn't have to be too much. Step aside. ”

The nerve-wracking jailer looked at each other, and then reluctantly disappeared to the other end of the door.

So in this extremely large space, only Rentaro and the Son of Heaven were left.

"It's been a long time."

The Son of Heaven said these words with a smile, but his tone was implied with pathos.

"Of course, you are the head of state, I am a police officer, and I would not have met without something special."

That's a good thing. Since the police are very idle, it means that the world is very peaceful. ”

"That's right."

Rentaro shook his shoulders slightly, and the Son of Heaven covered his mouth with his hand and smiled implicitly. There was a relaxed atmosphere flowing between the two.

"What are you looking for me?"

The Son of Heaven crossed his hands in front of the skirt of the dress and straightened his posture: "Does Mr. Satomi know where public opinion is heading now?" ”

"It's a pity. I don't see newspapers or TV in the detention center. ”

"Public opinion is that it is necessary to re-examine the private security companies that fought desperately to protect the Tokyo area during the Third Kanto War. And Mr. Satomi's arrest of the current culprit at the scene of the murder is the fuse that this kind of public opinion has been waiting for for a long time. ”

"Do you think I killed someone too?"

The Son of Heaven shook his head.

"I don't know. I can't judge my position. ”

"You're the head of state."

"I am the head of the administrative unit, but I cannot interfere with the judiciary."

Rentaro senses that the conversation is not quite going and breaks out in a cold sweat. Why was I deliberately called to the Holy Residence today? Again, he thought it was incredible.

"I have sad news today, so I have to tell Mr. Satomi."

The Son of Heaven stopped the topic for a moment and raised his face: "Mr. Satomi, your civil security company promoter license has expired. ”

"What!"

License invalidation? It means-

Ignoring the consternation in Rentaro's heart, the Son of Heaven turned away.

"The matter has been decided."

His clenched fists trembled violently. Rentaro took out the license from the ID sleeve and handed it to the Son of Heaven with a trembling hand.

The Holy Son of Heaven, who wanted to stop talking, hastened his steps and left the Holy Abode.

Whether it's a painting decorating a corridor with a market value of 50 million, or a brass vase engraved with arabesques. None of them could make the Son of Heaven's mood better.

Walking in the corridor after leaving the hall to return to his dormitory, he noticed a man in a traditional white kimono approaching him. The white-haired and white-bearded man had a physique, so strong that he didn't look like he was in old age at all.

He is the political hero who assists the Holy Son of Heaven, and the prince of Tiantong Ju.

"Your Majesty has worked hard."

"Is it really good for Ju Zhicheng Xianqing to do that?"

"Of course. ' Satomi Rentaro had resigned from his position as a civilian police officer before the incident, and he returned his license' This arrangement will save the face of all civilian security companies, and you will be able to minimize the damage caused by the significant increase in his IP ranking after the 'Third Battle of Tokyo'. ”

"But the voices that call for the innocence of the innocent will also be suppressed!"

"No matter what happens, I must protect you, this is my insistence."

"That's not my choice."

"Lord Son of Heaven, you must take that path. Since the lifeboat could no longer carry more people, His Majesty had to be prepared to realize that the rest of the people would die. That's what is necessary to save the lifeboat ecosystem. ”

"If I get off the boat, I can save one more person."

"You're here to save the hungry. Do you want to cut off your own flesh? That was the work of a 'saint' and not a 'political family'. 陛xià must be in charge of the government. ”

"Kikuno Cheng Xianqing, what do you think of Mr. Satomi? He was once your adopted son, and I heard that when you were selected as the designated apprentice of the National Treasure of the World, you did not choose someone from the Tendo family who was related by blood, but chose Mr. Satomi. I don't think Kikutojo Kenkyō will hate Mr. Satomi. But why are you so indifferent to him? ”

"When that kid left with Mugen, I didn't treat that guy as my own. In this incident, when life is interrupted, it can only be regarded as the fate of that kid. ”

"This"

Just when the Son of Heaven was looking down and biting his lip in sadness, a person who made Tiantong Juzhi jealous came over.

"Your Excellency Kikunojo, it seems that you are not paying attention to me. What did you do to make the Son of Heaven sad? ”

Ju Zhicheng's eyes shrank, and his face remained calm, "Lord Yang Xi, although you are the fiancé of Lord Shengtianzi. However, in terms of national affairs, it is better to interfere less. ”

"Oh? What is a national event? If I accidentally kill you, is that a national event? ”

"With all due respect, the great power you have should be used to expand the combat power of the Tokyo area. Defend against foreign enemies, not threaten the country's ministers. And if you do, if you do. Then I can assert that the Tokyo area will immediately fall apart. Presumably, the Holy Son of Heaven doesn't want to see this kind of situation, right? ”

Kikuno Cheng is very aware of his own weight, and he also knows that if someone makes a move against him, it will be equivalent to challenging the power of the entire Tokyo area. After all, as Mu Geng said, the Tiantong family, who has been educated as an elite since childhood, occupies enough voice in the business and political circles. It's not something that anyone can move down if they want to.

Seeing the-for-tat confrontation between these two people, the Son of Heaven really didn't know what to do. As far as personal feelings are concerned, she really wants to be on Yang Xi's side. But when I think of the weight on my shoulders

After entering the room and closing the door, the Son of Heaven immediately fell into Yang Xi's arms. Her expression was really painful.

"Okay, it's your own choice to be a virtuous monarch of the Holy Wisdom, if you regret it, listen to me, wouldn't it be better to be a tyrant who does whatever he wants?"

Yang Xi stretched out his hand and caressed her back.

The Son of Heaven couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Is there such a comforting thing as you?" The virtuous monarch and the tyrant said that it was simple, you say, am I doing this right? ”

Looking at the police license that the Son of Heaven held up, Yang Xi said, "Recently, I heard Sumire say a few strange things. A while ago, a man was killed at the New National Theater. His name was Kenji Yoshihara, he was 35 years old, and he died on the spot when he was stabbed in the chest while watching his favorite opera. At the same time on the same day, someone from the home of a twenty-eight-year-old woman in Takamura pod came to visit and killed her with a weapon suspected of being a shotgun. Also on the same day, Ebihara Yoshiichi, a 53-year-old man, was shot and killed by a sniper while riding the high-speed Shinkansen. ”

The Son of Heaven covered his mouth in shock, "Three times a day"

"No, that's not the problem. The three people who were killed had one thing in common. Kenji Yoshihara and Takamura are the remnants of the former reinforcement soldiers of the 'New Human Creation Project', and both of them are Sumire's patients, and Sumire knows them very well. Two former soldiers of the 'New Humanity Creation Project' were targeted and killed, both of whom were murdered in a planned manner. They used to be directly involved in the proto-intestinal wars. After the war, because he hated fighting, he chose to retire to life. ”

"So why"

"It seems that there is a snake trying to instigate those two, it is that Ebihara Yoshiichi." (To be continued......)
