Realizer of Death : The Reaper

When school was over and Tenku came home with Akina, Setsuka left her classroom to pick up Kohana, who was waiting for her at the gates of Suisei High School.

After she arrived in front of the school gate, Setsuka saw Kohana waiting for her with a sullen face. Of course, she knew that the reason for her sister's expression was not because she was late to pick her up but something else.

"Have you been waiting for me long, Kohana?" Setsuka smiled and said to his sister.

"Ah, big Sister! That's OK! I haven't been waiting long." Kohana looked at her sister and answered. But then she continued her words without giving Setsuka a chance to reply.

"How? Have you found him? Where is he now?" Kohana bombarded Setsuka with questions. She looked behind her sister and around her but couldn't find the boy who had saved her yesterday.

"Please calm down, Kohana. I didn't come with the person who saved you because I haven't found him yet. I suspended the search for your savior for the time being because I didn't have time to do it. After all, I have many assignments on the student council and in class. But I promise I'll find him tomorrow. So please don't put on such a sullen face." Setsuka smiled bitterly and forcedly lied to her sister.

"Hmm... okay. I will forgive you this time. But you must find him tomorrow since you promised me." Kohana folded her arms and looked at Setsuka seriously.

"Of course, I will find him tomorrow. You don't have to worry about that." Setsuka let out a sigh of relief after hearing Kohana's answer. Although her sister is spoiled, she is not a stubborn girl who doesn't want to listen to other people's explanations.

"Good! I'm sure big sister won't break her promise to me." Kohana nodded in satisfaction. On the other hand, Setsuka felt burdened after hearing those words.

"Then, should we go home now? On the way, we will stop briefly at your favorite crepes stall, and you are free to order any flavor. You can take that as my apologies for not having time to look for the boy today. How?" Setsuka tried to change the topic of their conversation.

"Yes! What are you waiting for!? Let's go now!" Kohana replied excitedly after hearing her sister tease her with her favorite food.

"Ahaha... all right. Let's go." Setsuka smiled and looked so beautiful that it made the flowers in full bloom wither when juxtaposed with her. Unfortunately, no one saw that fantastic sight apart from her sister. But before they left that place, Setsuka's dimension watch beeped and displayed a message.

"Wait a minute, Kohana. I want to check the message first." Setsuka opened the message on her dimension watch and read it. After that, she frowned upon finding out that the contents were the organization's mission.

"I'm sorry, Kohana. It looks like I can't accompany you home today because I suddenly got a mission from the organization." Setsuka looked at his sister apologetically.

"Huh!? What has happened?" Kohana was not angry when she heard Setsuka suddenly cancel her appointment because it was related to the organization. Even though she often whines at her sister, she is an understanding little girl. Kohana wouldn't complain if the situation were urgent like now.

"A horde of goblins suddenly appeared in Tokyo, and the location is not far from this place. Because of that, the organization asked me to take care of it immediately." Setsuka explained.

"Then what are you waiting for, big sister? Let's go now to kill those monsters!" Kohana raised her eyebrows when she heard that a monster had appeared in the city.

Kohana had never seen a monster in person until now. Usually, she could only find out through picture books, television, or computer screens. Upon hearing that, the little girl's curiosity burned, and she became excited.

"What do you mean by that word? Do you intend to come with me?" Setsuka said in disbelief. Even though the report said only goblins appeared, she didn't want to risk bringing Kohana to such a dangerous place.

"Of course, I'll go there with you! But you don't have to worry because I'll be waiting in a safer place." Kohana tries to convince Setsuka to let her come along to see the monsters.

Setsuka was silent and couldn't answer immediately. She wanted to refuse her request, but Kohana would keep whining at her and would cry on the spot. If that happened, she would waste time in that place calming her sister down and might be too late to come to the location where the goblins appeared. After all, it would be easier for her to protect Kohana if the other party was nearby.

"Okay. I will let you come with me, but you must promise to listen to what I say!" Setsuka said seriously. She had to act decisively on Kohana in such a situation because she didn't want her sister to be in danger.

"I promise! Then let's go now! I want to see those goblins right away!" Kohana smiled broadly and grabbed Setsuka's hand. But then she suddenly stopped her footsteps and looked at her sister.

"Where are the monsters appearing?" Kohana asked shyly, and her behavior made Setsuka smile.

After walking for about thirty minutes, Setsuka and Kohana arrived at their destination. There are already other Realizers who also get the same mission. Luckily some of them were also from the Fuyushima Temple, and Setsuka was able to entrust Kohana to one of those people. Of course, they would gladly accept a request from Setsuka.

Setsuka left Kohana with one of the Realizers of the Fuyushima temple. She immediately headed to the location where the goblins were seen. It didn't take long for Setsuka to find the monsters, and she felt angry when she saw that the goblins were chasing the townspeople.

She quickly manifested her Phantasmal Object, and a light blue katana appeared in her right hand.

Morana Sword : A-Rank

Setsuka slashed her sword from afar, and a tremendous cold compression shot toward the goblins and froze them. Then she gave another slash, and the ice sculptures of the monsters shattered into small chunks.

She had intended to examine the goblin's corpse, but her face changed as her sense of danger suddenly rang. Setsuka had been careless and had lowered her guard a little just because her opponent was a goblin. She saw an arrow shot at her at high speed, and it was released from a hidden place, making it difficult for her to find out. But when she realized it was too late because the arrow was only a few centimeters away from her.

The attack went straight to her heart, and Setsuka would be seriously injured or even die if the arrow hit her because she knew arrows from goblins must be poisonous. As she was ready to take the attack with her body, a pebble suddenly appeared and collided with the arrowhead.

It made the attack trajectory change and miss the target. Setsuka didn't waste the opportunity and quickly moved to where the arrow was shot to kill the archer goblin.

Setsuka slashed her sword without hesitation, and the goblin's head floated in the air. Then she looked in the direction the pebble came from.

"Who is there?" Setsuka narrowed her eyes. After that, a boy came out from behind a large pillar, and Setsuka opened her eyes wide when she saw his face. The person who appeared from there was Tenku with a large suitcase in his hand.

"You!" Setsuka was speechless, and she subconsciously pointed her sword at Tenku.

"What are you doing, Miss Fuyushima? You asked me to show myself, and now you're pointing your weapon at me?" Tenku was confused by Setsuka's attitude, who suddenly looked wary when she saw him.

"Ah, I'm sorry. I was still in a tense state from the surprise attack earlier. But, you know me?" Setsuka quickly realized her mistake and canceled the manifestation of her Phantasmal Object. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

Even though she knew that Tenku was a first-year student at Suisei High School, Setsuka didn't expect the boy to recognize and know her name. Besides, she was asking that out of courtesy.

"I am a first-year student at Suisei High School. Of course, I will know you, student council president." Tenku smiled and answered flatly.

"Hmm… it turns out that you are a student at Suisei High School. Then were you the one who threw the stone?" Setsuka pretended that she had just found out the boy's identity. After all, Tenku was wearing casual clothes now after changing his uniform at Karitoshi's house. So Setsuka, who didn't recognize him, would look natural.

"Stone? Ah, if you mean that pebble, then I'm the one who kicked it. I did it out of frustration after being kicked out of the house. After that, I hid when seeing the monsters. Did the pebble hit you? If so, then I apologize." Tenku said apologetically and lowered his head. Of course, his explanation was a lie because he threw the pebble on purpose.

(You accidentally kicked it and hit the arrow, right? What a terrible coincidence)

Setsuka frowned upon hearing Tenku's answer. She only half believed him because she saw the big suitcase he was carrying. There's no way a coincidence could be so accurate as that.

"No. Instead, you helped me. Thank you." Setsuka bowed her head to Tenku.

"I don't know how it can help you, but I'm honored to hear that from you. If there's nothing else you want to talk about, then I'll take my leave now." Tenku didn't want to linger in that place together with the members of the strongest Realizer group. If it weren't for Setsuka noticing his presence, he wouldn't have shown himself.

"Where are you going? This area is dangerous because many monsters suddenly appear for no apparent reason." Setsuka warned Tenku.

"My destination is an apartment not far from here." Tenku pointed in the direction Wang Haotian's apartment was located. He thought it would be fine if Setsuka knew about it.

"Hmm… then, I'll take you there. Didn't you just awaken your Phantasmal Object and join the organization? It would be dangerous for you to wander alone in this area." Setsuka wanted to use that opportunity to find out the source of the oppression and fear she was getting from Tenku.

"No…" Tenku wanted to refuse, but Setsuka quickly cut him off.

"Please don't refuse. You can take this as a return for helping me. Besides, isn't it a Realizer's duty to protect each other?" Setsuka said a little forcefully.

Tenku was silent when he heard that. If he insisted on rejecting her offer, Setsuka might get suspicious and think he was hiding something. After thinking about it, Tenku reluctantly nodded and agreed.
