Inside the shelter.
Kisara looked around the newly refurbished place with a slightly dazed expression.
Didn't she come here just a few days ago?
Why does it feel…
Completely different?
And…
Her purple eyes shifted slightly, sweeping across the little girls running around busily.
"Are these all Cursed Children?"
Saeko nodded calmly. "Yes."
Kisara was genuinely surprised.
Clean, neat, even smiling!
This!
Are these still Cursed Children??
In her memory.
Dirty, lifeless eyes, numbness, cowardice, etc…
That was the typical state of most Cursed Children she'd seen.
Even those in shelters.
Because shelters were still built by humans.
So, Cursed Children in shelters were often not much better off than those wandering outside.
That group of people only used Cursed Children to reap policy benefits granted by Seitenshi.
Or rather.
That policy might've been passed because someone was pulling the strings from behind the scenes.
The shelters were likely created by those people as well.
Because of that, she had never held any positive opinions of so-called shelters.
Even when she came to see Lynn's shelter due to Seitenshi's commission, she didn't think much of it and even scoffed internally.
Just another guy looking to make money off the Cursed Children.
But—
The explosion changed her view of Lynn.
Maybe…
He's different?
After all, he was someone capable of blowing up the Tendo family.
But upon returning to the shelter again, she realized she had still underestimated Lynn.
The Cursed Children here.
Kisara's eyes shifted.
Compared to the ones she had seen before…
They were completely different!!
There was light in their eyes!
They looked forward with hope and anticipation for the future!
What happened to them?
Or rather…
How did he make this happen?
It had only been a few days since the shelter was established.
Kisara couldn't wrap her head around it.
She was then brought to meet Lynn, still in a daze.
"Nice to see you again, Miss Tendo."
Kisara snapped back to reality and looked at Lynn, her gaze more complicated than before.
"Just call me Kisara..."
Last time, she hadn't even bothered to look at him closely.
After all, it was just a commissioned mission, Kisara hadn't been interested in getting to know him.
But because of the recent Tendo family incident, she couldn't help but grow curious about him.
Now, seeing the state of the shelter, that curiosity deepened even further.
She gave him a closer look.
Hmm…
Is he… handsomely unreal?
There was also an air of nobility around him.
Even nobler than her, a lady studying at an elite girls' academy!
"Then, Miss Kisara, what brings you here this time?"
"Or did Seitenshi commission you again?"
Lynn was slightly surprised by Kisara's sudden visit.
After all, the two hadn't spoken since the previous commission.
Kisara shook her head. "This time… it's personal."
"Hmm…"
She paused, glanced at Saeko in the room, looking like she had something to say.
"Don't worry, Saeko is one of mine. Just speak freely."
"Alright."
Kisara shrugged, then looked serious. "The incident with the Tendo family... that was your doing, wasn't it?"
Her tone was firm, her eyes unwavering.
"To be precise, I arranged for someone to handle it."
Lynn didn't bother denying it.
Kisara was briefly stunned. "You're just… admitting it like that?"
"My last name is Tendo! Aren't you afraid I'll report you?!"
Kisara genuinely didn't get it.
He just said it so casually?
Wasn't he afraid of Tendo Kikunojou's retaliation?
"Would Miss Kisara really report me?"
"Absolutely not!"
Kisara instantly raised her hand and made an 'X' in front of herself, speaking firmly.
Lynn simply shrugged, as if to say, "See?"
Kisara: "…"
"Okay…"
She muttered in a lower voice, "Why do I feel like you know me too well…"
Lynn smiled slightly, he couldn't exactly say, "I've seen your anime."
"By the way, what's your relationship with Seitenshi?"
Kisara's purple eyes gleamed with curiosity.
"Hmm… Master and servant."
Kisara's eyes went wide. "So you're Seitenshi's servant?!"
She suddenly understood!
No wonder Lynn could sneak in and plant such a massive explosive at the Tendo residence without them noticing!
No wonder Seitenshi had brushed off such a serious incident so casually.
If it had all been orchestrated by Seitenshi, then it made perfect sense!
Kisara's eyes lit up as she asked excitedly:
"Could it be that Seitenshi has finally seen through the filth of Tendo Kikunojou and is preparing to deal with that old dog?!"
"Huff huff—"
Kisara's voice grew intense, her breathing heavy, and she licked her lips in excitement. Her purple pupils burned with killing intent.
Lynn looked at her, speechless.
"First off, you got one thing wrong."
"Seitenshi is my servant."
Kisara froze.
Then rolled her eyes at him. "Yeah, right."
But thanks to that interruption, she'd calmed down a bit.
"Anyway…"
Kisara gave a big thumbs-up. "Well done!"
As long as you're targeting the Tendo family, you're a friend of Miss Kisara!!
"If you need my help, just say the word!"
She folded her arms, brimming with confidence.
Well…
She figured she'd probably get targeted by Tendo Kikunojou for this anyway.
Might as well get something out of it.
Consider it a small act of revenge.
Lynn stroked his chin. "How about giving me a batch of forged weapons?"
Kisara froze.
Her arms dropped, and she gave an awkward smile. "Uhh, forged weapons are pretty expensive..."
"Ahem, let me put it this way."
Kisara rephrased with a straight face. "As long as it's not about money, ask whatever you want!"
"Then… want to join my Peerage?"
Lynn made the invitation.
"Peerage?"
Kisara looked confused.
"Whoa! Master just invited her to the harem!"
Yuuko suddenly popped out from the corner, entering observation mode with exaggerated excitement.
"Harem harem harem harem?!"
Kisara's eyes widened and she started flailing.
Her face turned visibly red.
Is he… trying to take my body?!
Kisara felt completely thrown off.
"Wait!"
Kisara suddenly noticed Yuuko's floating state and blurted out in disbelief, "Are you flying?"
