Realizer of Death : The Reaper

"Father! What are you saying!? How can you ask Tenku to leave this house!?" Akina subconsciously slammed her palm on the table and expressed her objection. She stood up from her seat and shouted at Kouta. Akina didn't want Tenku to leave the house and reflexively defended him.

"He's already an official Realizer, even with that low-ranked Phantasmal Object. Besides, he already has his income at his current age. So I think he can start to live independently. It is not good for a boy to continue to depend on others, especially those not from his family." Kouta said with ridicule. He tried to make Akina understand his decision.

"As you said, he's just a Realizer with a low-ranked Phantasmal Object! He could not make money taking missions in the organization because it was so dangerous! Can't you wait until he finishes high school? You promised that old man to take care of Tenku!" Akina reminded Kouta of his promise and wouldn't accept any excuses from him.

"It was my decision. Whether or not he can make money from missions in the organization is not determined by you, Akina. We have kept that promise and cared for him for nine years. You don't have to remind me of that." Kouta said coldly.

Akina's body trembled when she heard her father's words. She knew he could not convince his father to change his decision. Then she turned her eyes to her mother, who had been silent all this time with her head down.

"Mother! Please say something to father! Do you agree with this? Weren't you the one who brought Tenku to our house after he lost his family!? Didn't you say that he was part of our family back then? Then why didn't you say anything after knowing that father asked Tenku to leave the house? Answer me, mother!" Akina screamed, asking Misora for an explanation.

"Stop it, Akina! Your mother has agreed to this because I have discussed this matter with her. You don't need to ask her opinion again. After all, I am the head of the family and have the right to decide anything in this house. So you must obey my rules and my words." Kouta raised his voice and said firmly. He displayed his authority as the head of the Karitoshi family.

"But…" Akina still wanted to refute her father's words because she didn't want Tenku to leave the house, but a voice from a boy sitting next to her cut her off.

"I understand. I will pack my things today." Tenku said calmly. He stood up from his chair and bowed to Misora and Kouta. After that, he walked to his room and intended to pack up his clothes quickly.

"You!" Akina felt so angry that Tenku accepted the decision so easily. Then she took her bag and ran to her room without saying anything to her parents.

After Tenku entered his room, he quickly took out his smartphone and called Wang Haotian. It didn't take long for the old man to receive the call.

[What's the matter, kid? You don't usually call me at this time.]

Wang Haotian said. He was annoyed by Tenku's call because it had disturbed his leisure time.

"Didn't you tell me that one of the apartments at your place is vacant, master? Can you lend me some money to buy it?" Tenku said in a pleading voice.

[Hmm? Why are you suddenly asking that? So where did all your money go? Why did you have to borrow from me to buy the apartment?]

Wang Haotian was confused after hearing Tenku's questions and requests.

"First, I want to leave this house and live independently. Second, I've already transferred almost all of my money to Kaziya's uncle to pay for wall damages in one of the rooms in his building." He didn't want to tell Wang Haotian the real reason he left the Karitoshi residence because doing so would only cause unnecessary trouble.

After all, Tenku had intended to live alone but didn't know how to tell Misora and now was his chance, as he didn't need to make excuses.

[ Why did you destroy the wall in his room?]

Wang Haotian asked, and his tone sounded like he was urging Tenku to explain quickly.

"That is… I was too excited to have broken through to the fourth layer of the Tyrant King Body Tempering Art. I wanted to quickly try out my new power and remembered that the walls of the room I was using back then were tough because they were made of graphene and otherworldly metal. So I used that wall to test my strength and accidentally broke it." Tenku explained calmly, like it wasn't his fault. Wang Haotian was silent for a while before he replied.

[Alright. I'll lend you the money to buy the apartment. But you have to remember to return it]

Wang Haotian sighed heavily and was too lazy to argue with Tenku at the moment.

"Thank you, master! I know you are the best and will not let your students sleep on the streets." Tenku felt relieved after hearing that. He didn't know where to stay if Wang Haotian refused his request.

[Stop your false flattery. So, when will you move here?]

Wang Haotian got goosebumps and wanted to vomit when he heard Tenku's words.

"Today." Tenku replies curtly, and they chat for a while before he hangs up.

Tenku quickly packed up his clothes and belongings. Of course, he bought all that with his own money and left the things Misora had given him to remain in the room.

Tenku put some of his belongings into his suitcase and the rest into his space pocket. He didn't want Kouta and the others to get suspicious when they saw him leaving the house without taking anything with him.

After Tenku finished packing his things, there was a knock on the door, and a girl's voice called out to him.

"Tenku, may I come in?" Akina said in a weak voice.

"Please come in. I didn't lock the door." Tenku quickly replied.

After the door opened, what Akina first saw was a large suitcase, which made her heart ache. But she didn't know that the bag's contents were just Tenku's useless things.

"Are you really going to leave this house?" Akina asked in a trembling voice while lowering her head. She didn't dare to look directly at Tenku because her eyes were wet now, and she could cry at any moment. Akina didn't want to show her weak figure to him.

"Yes. Haven't you heard it directly from your father? This was his decision, and your mother had also agreed. So, there's no way I'll stay here. After all, I already intended to leave this house and live independently. I don't want to keep bothering you. It's just the timing is faster than I planned." Tenku smiled bitterly and lifted his suitcase.

"But… where will you live after leaving this house?" Akina said in a hoarse voice and tightly gripped the hem of her skirt to keep her tears from falling.

"You don't have to worry about that. I've got it, and the location is not far from this place. I'll send the address to you after I move. You can stop by my place to play when you're bored." Tenku was a little surprised by Akina's question. But then he smiled and rubbed her head gently.

Akina's body trembled, and she suddenly hugged Tenku. Then the girl cried because she couldn't suppress her sadness anymore, and Tenku's actions triggered her tears to fall.

"I'm not a kid anymore! But it is an attractive offer! I will accept it and come to your place as soon as you move! So make sure to provide my favorite food and drink!" Akina complained but secretly enjoyed Tenku's treatment of her. She tightened her arms around the boy's waist.

Although their relationship looks less harmonious on the surface, in reality, Akina cares about Tenku. She doesn't want the boy to know about it and decides to hide it. But since Tenku was about to leave the house, Akina didn't care if she had to show her feelings and let the boy know about it.

"Okay. I'll be looking forward to your visit." Tenku could only sigh and stroke the hair of the girl in his arms. He didn't want to get too close to the people in the house, but Akina reminded him of Haruna.

After they hugged for a long time, it was time for Tenku to say goodbye to her and leave the place. Tenku was in front of the Karitoshi residence along with Misora, Kouta, and Akina.

"Thank you for taking care of me for the past nine years." Tenku bowed to Misora and Kouta. Even though only Misora treated him well in that house, he had to show his gratitude to Kouta for letting him stay there.

"You don't have to think about that. I promised that old man to take care of you in return for saving Akina in the past." Kouta said flatly.

"I understand. Then, I will take my leave now. Goodbye." Tenku nodded and quickly left the house. After Tenku's figure disappeared from her sight, Akina looked at her parents and cried.

"You bad parents!" Akina said disappointedly and ran towards her room.

"She will understand future decisions. You don't have to think about that." Kouta sighed and patted Misora's shoulder. Afterwards, he went inside the house and left his wife alone. Misora, who had been keeping silent, finally opened her mouth.

"I'm sorry, Tenku. I had to agree to that…" Misora said in a low voice, and sadness overflowed from her heart. Then she fell on her knees and burst into tears.

After Tenku left the Karitoshi residence, he immediately headed to Wang Haotian's apartment. But on his way, he saw people running toward him in fear. Tenku was confused when he saw the situation.

"What happened?" Tenku muttered and kept walking. But not long after, he heard someone screaming.

"Help! There are monsters!"

"Monsters?" Tenku was sure he didn't hear that wrong. Then he quickened his footsteps and found several goblins chasing people on the streets. They were ordinary people, so there was no way they could fight against those monsters.

Tenku intended to kill the goblins because they were an eyesore. But before he could intervene, the monsters suddenly froze and shattered into chunks of ice.
