"Don't worry about Scorpio for now, next..."
The guards suddenly rushed into the command room of the shelter and surrounded Kikunojo Tendo.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"
Tendou Kikunojo was not flustered by this, but instead asked the Holy Emperor.
"Officer Tendo, you are suspected of endangering the Tokyo Safety Zone. We need to arrest you now."
The Holy Emperor answered his question.
"Where's the evidence?"
The old man's expression remained unchanged as he continued to ask.
"Miss Kisara".
The Holy Emperor looked at the Heavenly Child, Mu Geng.
"Entrusted by His Majesty the Holy Emperor, our agency is responsible for investigating the identity of the person behind Hiruko Kagetane. Hiruko Kagetane is not simply a terrorist. The purpose of hiring the person behind him is probably to stop the implementation of the Genzou New Law. And recently, the only family that has been manipulating public opinion is the Tendo family."
"This is filth."
"We've found the leads, and we have the witnesses."
"Tendo Kisara, don't forget, you're also a member of the Tendo family."
Kikunojo Tendo's face darkened as he began to reprimand the girl.
"Yes, I have never forgotten it, but I also have never forgotten the scene of my parents dying at the Tendo family's house ten years ago because of Gastrea."
What exactly are you, the head of the Tendo family, trying to cover up? Why did Gastrea break into the Tendo family? What secrets lie behind the deaths of my parents?
Tendo Kisara's eyes were sharp as he stared at the old man.
"That was an accident. Ten years ago, countless people died because of Gastrea. You shouldn't be blaming your own family, but rather the despicable Gastrea!"
Kikunojo Tendo looked directly into his granddaughter's eyes and said these words.
"Yes, but compared to personal grudges, I think the greater good is more important. What do you think, Assistant Director Tendo?"
Tendo Kisara softened his sharp expression and put on a smiling face.
"The innocent have nothing to fear; I am open to investigation."
Tendo Kikunojo no Tatei no Kō no Tatei ...
"If you, Assistant Director Tendo, are truly innocent, then I promise to clear your name."
Tendo Kikunojo was essentially imprisoned, and the Holy Emperor entrusted the investigation to Tendo Kisara.
She transferred a portion of the guards to assist Tendo Kisara in finishing what they hadn't done that night.
After leaving the shelter, Tendo Kisara and some members of the guard team quickly arrived at Tendo's house.
But when they broke into the Tendo family home and found Tendo Shin's room, they found a cold corpse hanging from the rafters.
Based on the degree of rigor mortis, the person had probably been dead for an hour or two, and a suicide note was left on the table.
He admitted to manipulating public opinion to prevent the implementation of the Gastrea Law, but he claimed it was a private act he had done on his own.
After realizing that he had been exposed and had brought trouble to the Tiantong family, this man felt ashamed of the Tiantong family's upbringing and had no words to face his master, so he could only atone with his death.
As Tendo Kisara looked at the contents of the suicide note, he almost wanted to crush it with his hand. What a Tendo family, sacrificing the pawn to save the king, huh!
Looking at the guards who had come with her, and hearing the guard captain, Takuto Howaki, ask about the contents of the will, she gave him a sharp look.
The clues were only obtained tonight, and the plan to arrest the person was also only tonight. However, the person died before the arrest could be made, which means someone must have tipped them off in advance.
It's impossible for the people at Tiantong's office to tip off the family, and it's also impossible for the Holy Emperor to inform Tiantong's family. So the only person who could tip off the family is the captain of the guard team who was also present when he was reporting the situation.
"Since Lieutenant Howaki is concerned about the Tendou family, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll go and report to His Majesty the Holy Emperor."
After finishing his sentence, Tendo Kisara walked straight out.
"You stinky woman."
Takuto Howaki cursed under his breath, but still stayed behind to deal with the situation.
Midway through, the butler of the Tiantong family pulled people into a side room.
When he came out, the man was all smiles and allowed the Tiantong family to collect Tiantong Xin's body.
"Is the person dead?"
"He's dead."
The Holy Emperor remained silent, then took the will and went to the room where the Heavenly Child Kikunojo was imprisoned.
"Assistant Tendou, your family member died, and they committed suicide out of guilt. Don't you have anything to say to me?"
The Holy Emperor asked directly, explaining that her relationship with Tendou Kikunojo was rather complicated. In more ancient terms, it was the relationship between a young crown prince who had lost the emperor's protection and the powerful prime minister, who was also her adoptive father.
Without him, she probably wouldn't have been able to grow up smoothly and ascend to the throne. However, after ascending to the throne, the power of this assistant, coupled with their differing political views, caused the Holy Emperor a headache.
The Holy Emperor hoped that this elder, who had carefully guided him since childhood, would be honest and take a step back in this situation, but he did not.
After hearing this, Kikunojo Tendou simply clasped his hands together, knelt down, and solemnly apologized to the Holy Emperor for his family's suspicions about his actions and manipulation of public opinion.
Disagreeing on political views and secretly sabotaging each other are two different things.
"I am willing to resign from my position as an aide."
Tendou Kikunojo used a strategy of retreat to advance, relinquishing his position as an assistant official to prove his innocence.
He admitted to the fact that his subordinates manipulated public opinion to prevent the implementation of the Gastrea Law.
But he denies hiring Hiruko Kageyu.
As for the Holy Emperor, he didn't believe it and wanted to continue the investigation.
Oh dear, someone in the Tendo family has died, and they've even relinquished the important and powerful position of aide.
The trail went cold, so we had to investigate.
And you want to take it by force?
Ha, that's not how politics is played.
If this causes all the officials in the Tokyo area to feel insecure, how will the Holy Emperor manage the Tokyo Safety Zone?
Of course, if the other party were to collude with that boy outside to create a one-man political system, it would give Kikunojo Tendo a headache.
But would the Holy Emperor do that?
Based on what Tendo Kikunojo knew about the young princess, she was innocent, kind, and had an idealistic side. It was practically impossible for a princess with the appearance of a wise ruler to suddenly turn into a tyrant.
Perhaps, in the future, after undergoing various trials, this holy emperor will become ruthless and behave more like a monarch.
But right now, the Holy Emperor is just a somewhat naive young girl.
Kikunojo Tendo resigned from his position as an assistant, and one of his trusted subordinates, a man known for his black gloves, died.
Without the constraints of his advisors, the Holy Emperor gained even greater power.
Meanwhile, those with ulterior motives were discovered, and the head of the guard, Takuto Howaki, was dismissed.
It seems that the Holy Emperor has gained an advantage, but that's not actually the case...
Because, in order to prevent Scorpio from reaching Tokyo Bay, the deaths of the Self-Defense Force soldiers need to be accounted for.
As the saying goes, experience is the best teacher. Although Kikunojo Tendo resigned from his post, he had essentially withdrawn. The Emperor, who took over with even greater power, would then have to face the issues of compensation and accountability.
Compensation is manageable, but how do we explain the deaths of those who fought against Scorpio? It's easy to explain, but how do we explain the deaths of those killed by Broly?
To be honest, it definitely won't work...
"We need someone to take responsibility for this battle."
Tendo Kisara said.
"With no leads and the assistant to Tendo resigning, who else can take charge besides me?"
The Holy Emperor smiled bitterly.
"No, there are still clues."
"where?"
"Hiruko Kagetane, the one who stole the Seven Star Relics, is not dead yet."
This is another way the girl with long, straight black hair came up with to break the deadlock.
"Will he be willing to confess, or rather, can we capture him?"
More detailed information about the battle situation at the front has arrived; the police force sent to capture Hiruko Kagetane has suffered heavy losses.
If we exclude Broly and Scorpio, Hiruko Kagetane is probably the most outstanding supervillain in this battle.
"That guy isn't completely insane; if the conditions are right, we might be able to negotiate."
Instead of discussing capturing the other party, Tendo Kigen did say something else.
. . . .
When Satomi Rentaro received another call from Tendo Kisara, learning that the company president's older sister wanted to see Hiruko Kagetane, his expression was somewhat annoyed.
That masked bastard ran away a long time ago. Where is he supposed to find him now? Shout at the top of his lungs here? His voice probably wouldn't even be as loud as the whimpering Scorpio over there.
"Okay, let's put that person aside for now. Ask Broly if he can get Scorpio to leave Tokyo Bay first?"
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
Kisara Tendo was not disappointed when he heard that Hiruko Kagetane had left, and instead asked Rentaro Satomi to send a message to Broly.
"Should we get Scorpio out of Tokyo Bay?"
Broly answered the phone and learned what they meant.
After thinking for a moment, I flew up and loudly asked Scorpio what he meant.
Unfortunately, Scorpios seem to have no understanding of human speech.
Although he did not attack Broly, he ignored his questions.
"Sorry, it seems Scorpio wants to stay here."
"Broly, can you think of a way? It's nighttime now, so fewer people can see Scorpio. But if Scorpio is still in Tokyo Bay by tomorrow morning, given its massive size, it will definitely be seen by many people, which could cause a huge panic throughout the Tokyo Safety Zone."
The Holy Emperor made a request.
After thinking for a moment, Broly decided to move Scorpio.
but……
Scorpio is too heavy. Even a Saiyan couldn't move a Scorpio away from its original position without harming the other party.
Unless you push the wave, but if you do push the wave, it's easy to hurt Scorpios.
"I can't move Scorpio away, but isn't it simple to avoid causing panic?"
"Hey, do you have a solution?"
"certainly."
"Could you tell me about it?"
……
In the morning, when people in the Tokyo area woke up, they received an urgent news briefing.
"Last night, Scorpio suddenly appeared in the Tokyo Bay coastal area. Thanks to the Self-Defense Force Navy's valiant resistance, which came at the cost of the Third Fleet, we successfully paralyzed Scorpio in the old port area of Tokyo Bay..."
This is a victory for humanity. We successfully defended against the catastrophic Gastrea species, Scorpius, before the mass extinction event occurred…
That's how the news works. If you say that Scorpio stopped approaching the Tokyo safety zone on its own, then people in the Tokyo area would definitely be in a state of panic.
However, if this was a result achieved by the Self-Defense Forces at a heavy cost, people, while still somewhat frightened, believed that the Self-Defense Forces in the Tokyo Safety Zone would certainly be able to continue to prevent that giant monster from reaching the current safety zone.
. . . .
"I'm sorry, you've been forced to take on the role of a villain."
Broly stroked the large head of Scorpio beneath him, while a small tentacle grew from Scorpio's head and wrapped around his hand.
"Hey, Broly, you've finally opened for business in your new other world and found new members?"
At the same time, the group chat room started to get lively.
The addition of a Scorpio to the Crystal Palace's official membership caught the attention of the other wives who had just woken up.
"Scorpio, what a strange name. This must be a code name. Welcome, newcomer."
The group chat room was very welcoming and greeted new members.
but……
"Why is the newbie so aloof and silent? Does she not have enough happiness points to send messages in the group chat?"
Aqua asked the question.
"There are happiness points."
Broly quickly replied
Although the happiness value is zero when you agree, there is no 1 to 100 conversion.
But last night, Scorpios still experienced some happiness.
"Then why aren't you saying anything? Don't you like communicating with a senior like me?"
Broly, tell her that I am her most, most, most beloved master, and that she must respect me from now on, understand?
"Here she comes, Aqua is at it again, manipulating the newbie!"
"Uh, Master Aqua, it's not like that, it's just that Scorpio is a bit special."
"Ha, how special can you be, Broly? Let me tell you, no one can be special in front of me."
Okay, let's have Xiaotian post a picture first, then tell me how many happiness points he has, so I can get a feel for this newcomer's abilities.
Aqua said so.
Broly had no choice but to take a photo of himself and Scorpio together in the group chat and post it there.
"Broly, why are you posting your own photos?"
Aqua was puzzled after seeing the boy's photo.
"No, the one behind me is Scorpio."
Broly explained.
"Um?!"
The group chat was silent for a moment, followed by a series of interjections and question marks.
"No, I told you to find some stronger newcomers, and you ended up finding some inhuman demon?"
Jibril started complaining.
"It may not be human, but it certainly looks very strong."
Esdeath was eager to try.
"But with that size, is she even fit into the Crystal Palace?"
A group of wives were discussing Scorpios in a group chat room, mostly complaining.
However, there are already some excellent examples of waifus, such as doll waifus, goddess waifus, winged creature waifus, forest elf waifus, and Digimon waifus.
Adding another big monster wife, even though it's a bit strange that she's not human, isn't unacceptable.
The only problem is that Scorpios don't seem to have the higher intelligence to communicate with people.
After learning that Scorpio had joined the Crystal Palace, the other otherworldly targets who had previously refused Broly's invitation suddenly changed their minds and agreed to join the Crystal Palace, which made the people in the Crystal Palace somewhat indignant.
"What kind of snobbish bumpkins from another world are they? How dare they refuse my lovely disciples! Hmph, once they come in, I'll definitely make them suffer!"
Aqua's angry outburst revealed her true colors as a wicked mother-in-law who wanted to torment her new daughter-in-law.
