There was a knock on ......the door, and after receiving an answer, Miss Minako walked in again, followed by two men in suits.

Looking at them, Esther frowned, these two people were no strangers to him, they belonged to members of government agencies.

"Mr. Esther, there's an adult who wants to meet you!" One of them directly stated the purpose of their arrival.

"Meeting?" Esther thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay!" ”

After answering, Esther turned to Rentaro and Kigen and said, "Although I deeply despise your behavior of eating and drinking every day, who called you my best friends!"

Miss Minako, prepare three more lunches at noon. ”

Rentaro smiled awkwardly, while Kigen on the side had excitement in his eyes.

As for face, can it be eaten as a meal?

Since severing the relationship with the Tiantong family, Tiantongmu has understood that living in this world, face or something is far less important than a meal.

……

In Tokyo's 1st ward, which can be said to be the heart of Tokyo, an elongated black limousine slowly drove along and finally stopped in front of a building.

There were black-clad bodyguards on both sides of the building, and when the car stopped, one of the bodyguards walked over quickly and opened the door.

Esther opened her eyes, stepped out of the car, looked at the obviously extraordinary building, and sighed a little, which can only be said to be worthy of the residence of the most noble people in Tokyo.

It's a Gothic palace, with a wavy sloping door, ivory-white columns, and windows as clear as jewels, and Esther can't fault it from any angle.

After just one glance, he was led by the guards one after the other, and walked into this palace called the "Holy Residence".

Soon, he was led by the guards into a luxurious parlor.

The moment he stepped in, the people who were already waiting in the living room looked at him.

Looking at these two people, Aster's eyes flashed, it can be said that these two are really big shots in Tokyo.

What appeared in front of him was a combination of a man and a woman.

First of all, what caught his eye was the pure white girl, similar to Esther, or even smaller.

Wearing a dress made of pure white and light fabric, like a wedding dress, with a sun hat on her head, snow-white skin, as white as a pearl, and slightly curly shoulder-length short hair, as if trimmed by a master, her upright face is easy to fall into.

Esther was slightly silent, the girl in front of him was the purest girl he knew, except for Gaia and Alaye.

The Son of Heaven is not a name, but a code name similar to a lineage.

The girl's real name is well known in Tokyo, but the name of the Son of Heaven is a household name.

Since the war was lost ten years ago, the whole of Japan, because of the protozoa, was forced to divide into five regions.

And the Holy Son of Heaven, that is, the girl in front of him, is the supreme ruler of the Tokyo area.

The "Holy House" was named after the place where the maiden lived.

As for the other one, Esther's eyes narrowed slightly.

Tiantong Ju Zhicheng, an old man over seventy years old, has a serious expression, a straight backbone, a kimono and shorts, and his spirit is very active, not at all like a seventy-year-old man, but more like a middle-aged man in his forties.

His identity is the auxiliary officer supported by the Son of Heaven, similar to the prime minister of ancient dynasties.

It can be said that it is a representative of a real politician who has reached the pinnacle, and it is not an exaggeration to say that one person is below and above ten thousand.

These two variables are enough to change the direction of the whole of Tokyo.

To be honest, when she knew that it was these two who wanted to see her, Esther was also slightly surprised.

He didn't think that his ranking of thirty-three on the IP list was enough for these two to summon him.

"First Meeting, Elf Office, Elf Arms Shop, Mr. Esther Reno!" The girl's voice sounded, as pleasant and comfortable as the voice of a lark, as if listening to her voice was something to be happy about.

"First meeting!" Ace nodded, although there was often news about the two on TV, but it was the first time they had officially met.

"You may be seated!" The Son of Heaven said.

Esther was also polite, and sat directly opposite the Son of Heaven.

"As two of the highest status in Tokyo, I guess I didn't just want to get to know each other!"

Esther gets straight to the point.

Esther's directness made the Son of Heaven a little confused, and a non-rude smile appeared on his face, "Since Mr. Renault is so straightforward, I'll just say it!"

There are two main reasons for inviting Mr. over today. ”

Two things!

Esther had a 'as expected' look on her face, but she didn't speak, but remained silent.

"First of all, it's about those cursed children adopted by the Elven Office!"

When the Son of Heaven said this, Esther sat up straight, and his originally plain eyes became sharp.

The change in momentum directly made the room depressed, and the guards around who were responsible for protecting the two became nervous one by one.

Surprise appeared in the eyes of the Saint Heavenly Son, but his expression did not change much.

The other one that hasn't changed is the Tiantong Chrysanthemum.

"First things first, let me tell you!" Tiantong Ju Zhicheng suddenly spoke.

Seeing this, the Son of Heaven nodded and remained silent.

Esther looked at each other, and the eyes between the two collided, and a faint spark was born.

Although the two have never met, they are not strangers to each other.

After Esther established the current "Elven Office", he announced that any Cursed Children would be accepted here, and it would become the last pure land for the Cursed Sons.

At present, the Cursed Children outside Tokyo are all in the "Elf Office", and the other Cursed Children have either partnered with the police or have been taken in by the International Initiator Monitoring Agency (IISO) and are waiting for the police to be assigned.

However, when he announced the matter and adopted the current children, he was met with resistance.

Obstructions from all sides of the government.

Fortunately, Esther was afraid of encountering such a thing later, so he did not be greedy, but spent a lot of money to buy the land, and the standard of the building was also built according to the ten-level earthquake index, and he did his best in all aspects such as hygiene, medical care, life, and waste disposal.

But even so, it was hindered for a long time.

After the obstacle disappeared, Esther also used his own means to find out who was behind him, it was none other than the man in front of him.

Ten years ago, when the Gastar War broke out, the world's population plummeted to less than one-tenth of what it is today, so you can imagine how many people died at the hands of the Gastrulation and how many people hated the Gastrulation.

The people who survived the war can be said to have lost their dearest and loved ones to the protozoan in the war, so most of them hate the protozoa, even the "cursed children" with the protoenteric virus.

This generation is known as the "Plundered Generation"

Those born after the end of the war, including the Children of the Damned, are called the "Age of Purity"

And the most representative figure of the "plundered generation" is Tiantong Ju Zhicheng, whose wife lost her life in the war.

As a result, he hated both the proto-intestinal animals and the children of the damned.

Esther understands the other party, but understanding is understanding, but it is another thing to recognize or not.

Because two people are doing things, they themselves are standing on opposite sides, which can be said to be "different ways do not conspire with each other".

The existence of the "Elf Office" can be said to have nailed a nail in the heart of Tiantong Ju Zhicheng.

And Tiantong Ju Zhicheng has also become the biggest obstacle for Esther to help the Cursed Child change his fate.

It has nothing to do with hatred, and if they can, both sides will do everything they can to bring the other down.

"Mr. Renault, I was able to establish two big brands, 'Elf Office' and 'Elf Armament', in just one year, to be honest, I am deeply impressed!" Tiantong Ju Zhicheng's words are not against his heart at all.

Regardless of the identity of the opponent, Tiantong Ju Zhicheng still admires the boy in front of him who is at most the size of his own grandchildren.

"Elf Office", the world's IP ranking 33, has almost become the ranking of Tokyo police in the world, and among the Tokyo police, no one dares to ignore the teenager in front of him.

The cold weapons produced by the "Elf Armament" have the posture of being the pinnacle as soon as they appear, and in the series of cold weapons, they have directly become the leader of Tokyo, covering many old enterprises.

Many equipment companies are trying their best to crack the process, but unfortunately none of them have succeeded.

The only fortunate thing is that the production of "Elven Weapons" is too low to occupy the entire cold weapon market.

"I can't afford the praise of the assistant officer!" Esther's expression was calm, he knew that the other party had not yet said anything serious.

"Mr. Renault, now I ask you to know that the 'Elven Office', or more precisely, your shielding of the Cursed Child, has had a very serious impact on the international community!"

Tiantong Juzhicheng's face was serious.

"Cover-up?" Esther's eyes became even more fierce, "If you think that protecting these children is to protect them, then I can only say that you and I will definitely not be friends, only enemies!" ”

Esther's words directly made people, including the Son of Heaven, stunned, this is a blatant declaration of war against Tiantong Juzhicheng, what a guts.

"As for the international impact you mentioned, it can only be said that you are making a big fuss!"

"What a fuss?" Tiantong Ju Zhicheng's face sank, "Do you know that now not only Tokyo, but also the cursed children of the other four regions, regardless of their lives, have crossed unexplored dangerous areas and come to Tokyo, just to join the 'Elf Office', which is known as the last paradise of the 'Cursed Child'!"

It has even caused quite a stir internationally! ”

Esther's expression sank, this was something he hadn't expected.

How dangerous it is outside, Esther knows better than anyone else, stepping through the unknown area, with the strength of those children, it is completely a gamble with his life!

Esther had a solemn look on his face, and it looked like he was going to do something for these kids.

"Even so, so what?" Esther's expression recovered and asked indifferently.

Tiantong Ju Zhicheng said with a wooden look, "If you want to come to the International Initiator Supervision Agency (IISO), I should have already looked for you!" ”

Esther was silent for a moment, indeed, the other party had looked for him, for the children around Esther.

"You're taking these kids in, and you're getting in the way of managing the starters!" It was the Son of Heaven who spoke, and with a puppet-like look, he said in a cold voice, "To put it seriously, you have endangered international security!" ”

"Endangering international security?" A sarcastic look appeared on Esther's face, "I can't afford such a big hat!" ”

Esther became very unhappy because of the words of the Son of Heaven, and even the good feelings for this girl because of her first senses disappeared.

In this era of despair, even with the existence of "holmium", human beings are only surviving.

And because of the intestinal virus in the body, the cursed child, who can exert a power comparable to that of the original intestines, has become the top priority for humans to fight against the original intestines.

The combination of "initiator" and "promoter" is a military force that can change the world.

However, the reason why Esther is so dissatisfied is because, while borrowing the power of the Cursed Sons, they are not even as good as a dog.

"I've heard that you've been approached by the International Initiator Oversight Agency (IISO) in the hope that you would hand over the Cursed Child to them and assign it to the civilian police, but you refused!"

"That's right!" Esther didn't deny it in the slightest.

"With all due respect, you have done this by directly causing many police officers who are fighting with the intestines to lose their partners, and the eyes hinder the strength of the fight against the intestines!"

The Son of Heaven's voice was serious, even a little aggressive.

"It seems that you are also planning to advise me, but you don't have to waste your mind, it is absolutely impossible to hand over these children!" Esther's voice was sonorous and powerful, with no doubt.

The atmosphere became solemn again.

"Why?" The Son of Heaven asked again, "Mr. Esther, are you now responsible for the extinction of the human race?" ”

"What a big hat!" The sarcasm on Esther's face and the look of an idiot made even the well-educated Saint Celestial Son a little angry.

"In my opinion, what you call the last hope is a joke!"

"While shouting to rely on the power of the 'Cursed Child' to protect the world, and at the same time, discarding the benefactors who protect you like garbage."

"Even as an international organization, when assigning the Cursed Son, it will not consider the future situation of the Cursed Son at all, as long as it is a civilian policeman, it will be assigned.

The character and character of the police officers did not investigate at all.

For them, they don't care what happened to these children, how the police treat them, as long as they can best match the fight!

Some police officers even used the children as substitutes for the dead during the battle, and then went to claim another one.

They don't care either.

What do you think of these children! ”

Esther's voice grew low, angry like a beast roaring.

"If that's the case with humans, what about extinction?"

Angry, Esther uttered chilling words in the most indifferent of voices.

The air around him became a little cold, and the Son of Heaven subconsciously shivered.

Tiantong Kikunojo's gaze became dangerous as he watched Esther, and the people around him also looked at Esther with the same gaze as if they were madmen.

Esther's words, if you say it, are anti-human.

The Son of Heaven exhaled deeply, "Mr. Aster, please don't get excited! ”

Esther calmed down, "Of course, I can't afford to be responsible for destroying humanity!"

I won't stop these kids from fighting the intestines.

Even I will try to strengthen them in any way.

But they have to be partners, and it's up to me to choose!

And for the police officers who have been recognized by me, I will also personally sponsor two complete sets of equipment, weapons, armor, and one set of "Facilitator" and one "Starter".

This is my biggest concession. ”

When Esther knew that it was the two of them who saw her, she already had a rough idea of what it was, so she thought of a countermeasure on the way.

No matter what the other party says, the first attitude you put on is that it is absolutely impossible.

Of course, the previous anger was not pure acting, otherwise he would not be able to deceive the old fox Tiantong Juzhicheng.

After that, he gave a concession, and he thought that the other party would accept it.

And it turned out to be exactly what he had predicted.

Hearing Esther's words, the Son of Heaven's gaze softened, and Tiantong Ju Zhicheng's eyes became deeper, not knowing what he was thinking.

However, Esther's words alone were enough to make him unable to strike.

One of Esther's equipment is already sky-high outside, and the weapon is not to mention for the time being, that piece of armor, even if it is a high-explosive grenade, cannot be blown up.

According to the test, even the 3rd stage of the power type of protozoan can resist a lot of attacks.

There is one such piece of armor, which is almost an extra life in the battle of the protozoa.

"Thank you for your understanding!" The Son of Heaven bent slightly, "Then the second thing, I also hope you can agree." ”

"I think you have received the notice issued by the government before, and I hope you can participate in my personal capacity!"

"Individuality?" Esther was a little strange, in his personal capacity, not as a saint, which made Esther feel strange.

"Yes, this matter is informal, and I convened it in my own name, and I cannot explain it now! It's just that I wish you would lend me your power to use it once! ”

The voice of the Son of Heaven was very sincere, and for a while, Esther couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Although it is said that it is not very pleasant to say that the aggressive attitude of the Son of Heaven before.

"Okay!" Esther thought about it for a while, but agreed, after all, in the future, the children of the "elves" want to live better in Tokyo, and they still need the help of the girl in front of them, and they will have a good relationship with each other, so they won't suffer any losses.

"Thank you very much!" The Son of Heaven had a surprise on his face, "With your participation, this matter will definitely be solved perfectly!" ”

The compliment of the Son of Heaven did not make Esther change a little, "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first!" ”

"I'll have someone send you!" The Son of Heaven said.

Esther nodded, not refusing the other party's kindness.

After Esther left, the Son of Heaven sat on the sofa, a little tired, "This Mr. Esther is so strong!" ”

"Good work!" Tiantong Ju Zhicheng said, "It is not an exaggeration to have such momentum by relying on his own strength and without the help of the Cursed Son, he can reach the thirty-third status of the IP list!" ”

"It's really curious, a human can have such a strong power, obviously he is not much bigger than me!"

The Son of Heaven had an inquiring look in his eyes.

"This person is very dangerous, and even has a sense of madness and domineering in his bones!"

This is Tiantong Ju Zhicheng's heartfelt sigh to Esther, "But it is also a rare talent, it's just a pity ......"

……

Returning to the "Elven Office", Esther breathed a sigh of relief, today's verbal confrontation made Esther a little tired.

Whether it is the world of "Fairy Tail" or the world of "One Piece", when did he play a war of words with people.

These two worlds are all about strength, especially in the "One Piece" world.

Staying in such a world for a long time has made Esther accustomed to solving problems with his fists.

But not in this world, there is no world of extraordinary power, civilization and the rule of law.

It doesn't matter if it's just him, even if he leaves here and lives in the wilderness, it's enough to be unscathed.

But ever since he decided to adopt the Children of the Damned, he has put a shackle on himself, and for the sake of these children, he is constantly changing himself, learning to use forces other than force to defend himself.

Rubbing his temples.

Pushed open the door and walked inside.

"Brother is back~"

A cheerful and joyful voice of course sounded in Esther's ears, and little girls surrounded him, chattering about today's trivial matters.

Esther didn't feel the slightest irritability, but became more and more at ease.

Looking at the bright smiles on the faces of these children, Esther knew that his efforts were not in vain, and it was all worth it.

For dinner, Esther was very happy, and cooked it himself, so that the three of Rentaro, who had not left until now, called lucky, and sat at the table, waiting for the food with the rest of the eight little ones.

After dinner, after eating some dessert, the three of them were satisfied, and they took their leave.

In the office, Esther sat behind a desk, his brow furrowed, and on the desk was a map spread out, a map of Japan.

There are five red circles on it, representing the five human settlements in present-day Japan.

Astor has not forgotten today's words, and there are still a group of children who are using their lives to go to Tokyo through those unknown and dangerous places.

It's just that I don't know, now that I know, with Esther's character, it's naturally impossible to ignore it.

"Then let's take a trip, it just so happens that the blood metal is almost used!" Esther's eyes flickered.

What was extremely dangerous to others was only a slight trouble for him.

"It would be nice if we could directly open up the channels of the five regions and restore communication between them!

However, this matter needs the help of the national government, and it seems that we need to find a time to talk to the Son of Heaven! ”

Esther's eyes narrowed slightly, and she made a plan in her heart.
