Chapter 46
In a moment of distraction, Yumeno Hisasaku, who was very good at taking advantage of opportunities, stuck back to Douma's body.
Yumeno Hisasaku hugged Douma's neck tightly and rested his chin on Douma's shoulder. This angle was just right for him to observe the stranger in the room.
Oda Sakunosuke noticed that the chubby little kid was staring at him, and a gentle smile appeared on his face. He didn't dislike children.
Yumeno Hisasaku, who rarely received such friendly signals, was slightly stunned. Then he turned his head away arrogantly and buried his face in Douma's shoulder, pretending not to see Oda Sakunosuke.
Yumeno Hisasaku's cute little gesture made the smile on Oda Sakunosuke's face even softer.
The boy who had watched their interaction nodded in satisfaction: "It seems like you two will get along well."
“??? Lord Douma wants me to…” Oda Sakunosuke heard the implication in Douma’s words that he should take care of the child, and was so shocked that his eyes widened slightly.
Douma consciencelessly avoided Oda Sakunosuke's incredulous look and said to himself, "Yes, from now on, Hisasaku will be in your care. He doesn't like staying in the house all the time, but his special ability is too dangerous. I can rest assured if you take care of him."
"I'm sorry, although this may be a betrayal of Mr. Douma's trust, but I have never taken care of a child before." Oda Sakunosuke's face, which was always calm and composed, suddenly cracked. Although he didn't dislike children, it didn't mean that he knew how to take care of children!
"It's okay, I believe you." Douma pretended not to hear Oda Sakunosuke's refusal, patted Oda Sakunosuke on the shoulder as if to encourage him, and unilaterally decided the matter.
In the original novel, Oda Mama adopted so many children, which makes her a perfect fit for this job.
Then, Douma told the future professional nanny about the special features of Yumeno Hisasaku and reminded him, "From now on, please keep an eye on Hisasaku and don't let him use his abilities to bully others."
After hearing the activation mechanism of [Brain Hell], Oda Sakunosuke, who had just been resisting, showed a thoughtful expression. His [Seamless Clothing] was just enough to restrain Yumeno Hisasaku and interrupt his actions before Yumeno Hisasaku activated [Brain Hell].
Oda Sakunosuke looked at the cursed doll with only the head exposed at the crook of Yumeno Hisasaku's arm, and thought that if he could take away the engine switch in time, he would be able to interrupt Yumeno Hisasaku's supernatural powers.
Realizing how necessary he was to Yumeno Hisasaku, Oda Sakunosuke could no longer refuse.
It's not right to lock up such a young child all day. Although he was a killer, Oda Sakunosuke unexpectedly felt sympathy for the weak.
Yumeno Hisasaku didn't say a word the whole time, he just secretly opened his eyes and looked at the man in front of him whom he didn't dislike. If this man followed him, he could barely accept it, hum.
Douma noticed that Yumeno Hisasaku was unusually silent at the moment, and was surprised that the kid didn't make a fuss and shout out his disagreement. The look in his eyes when he looked at Oda Sakunosuke was different.
As expected of you, Odasaku. You are so popular with children, and the super dad Odasakunosuke is so terrifying.
Douma, who has no conscience at all, suddenly asked to increase the workload of Oda Sakunosuke before he and Yumeno Hisasaku left the office: "By the way, besides Hisasaku, I have another child here who needs your help."
Upon hearing this, Oda Sakunosuke suddenly turned around and condemned his unscrupulous boss with his eyes.
"Atsushi is in school right now. Go to Atsushi Bird and apply for a special mobility scooter. From now on, the task of picking up Atsushi and dropping him off at school will be left to you." Douma, who was being criticized with his eyes, smiled slightly and closed the office door cleanly, blocking Oda Sakunosuke's helpless sight.
Compared to other people whose background is unclear, Oda Sakunosuke, who has great fighting ability, reliable character and truly loves children, is simply the best candidate to take care of the children, no doubt about it.
I'm sorry, Odasaku, it's better to die with a friend than to die with a poor friend. Now the responsibility of bearing the destruction of these two annoying little brats falls to you!
Douma successfully tricked (crossed out) his subordinate and was in a good mood of entrusting him with an important task, and his good mood lasted until he met the director of the Special Power Department, Fuzuki Tsujimura, in the evening.
In an inconspicuous tavern in Yokohama, Douma and Tsujimura Fuzuki were sitting in a secluded private room.
"Mr. Douma, the news that you defeated the French Transcendent has been known to people from all walks of life." Tsujimura Fuzuki paused for a moment, then continued, "Gifts from various countries congratulating you on your promotion to Transcendent have also arrived in Japan one after another. The gifts are temporarily kept by the Special Powers Division. I wonder when you will..."
"I'm not a transcendent." Douma interrupted Tsujimura Futsuki.
He would never admit to being a transcendent. After all, he is not even a human (except for the special ability) now, so how could he be a transcendent? Isn't this a joke?
Moreover, the reason why he was able to defeat Weilaine so easily (?) was simply because Weilaine, like his brother Chuu, had zero resistance to poison and was immediately defeated by his inherently poisonous blood vampire magic.
Tianke is just so unreasonable.
Apart from Rimbaud and Verlaine, Douma has never seen any other transcendents, let alone what their special abilities are or what their weaknesses are. Just looking at Rimbaud, who appears to be a spaceman but is actually a psychic, he has no confidence in defeating him, let alone the other transcendents who are hiding very deeply.
"…What did you say?" Tsujimura Fuzuki was stunned for a long time before she widened her beautiful eyes and stared at Douma in disbelief. She took a deep breath, suppressed the ominous premonition in her heart, and said seriously: "Please don't make such jokes. The birth of a local transcendent is a very important matter for Japan."
"I'm not kidding." Douma shook his head and stated the cruel truth again: "I'm not a transcendent. The reason I was able to defeat Weilun is simply because my special ability happened to restrain him, that's all."
Tsujimura Fuzuki looked at the man opposite her with a smile that did not reach his eyes, and she felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar. The huge blow made her look dazed.
Japan is now in desperate need of a local transcendent. In this extreme desire, they have even openly carried out unethical human experiments, but the results have been disappointing; they are unable to create a transcendent-level supernatural being.
The only relatively successful one, A5158, cannot be brought to the public for various reasons. What's more, although A5158 has great potential and is very likely to grow into a transcendent-level superpower, they lack the means to control A5158, which makes people feel uneasy.
They thought that Douma, who defeated the French "King of Assassination", was a newly born local transcendent. However, the other party's firm tone made Tsujimura Fuzuki realize that their deeply anticipated wish was dashed, and Japan still did not have its own transcendent.
An awkward silence spread in the small private room. Douma glanced at Tsujimura Fukutsuki, who was still distracted, and stood up to say goodbye: "I'm sorry to have caused you unnecessary misunderstandings. I will leave first."
"...Okay, goodbye, Douma-kun." Tsujimura Fuzuki forced a smile and responded with a heavy heart.
Douma opened the door of the private room, paid the bill and left without any regrets.
Douma is very self-aware and knows how to govern his own position. If he admits to the Japanese government that he is a transcendent, then in future international exchanges, he will definitely face transcendents from other countries.
This is not okay, this is not allowed. No one can ruin his wonderful life as the Sword God of Shilipo!
At this moment, Douma just wants to stay in the port mafia to work for a living, and use the power of the port mafia and his own understanding of the original work to obtain the "book" and use it to get the blue spider lily. So he refuses to leave Japan, which is as safe as the novice village (?), and go to the more advanced European battlefield to fight for his life.
Left behind, Tsujimura Fuyuki closed her eyes sadly, and when she opened them again, she had successfully sorted out her emotions.
If the gap in this matter was not so huge and Tsujimura Futsuki's expectations were not too high, considering Tsujimura Futsuki's ability to sit in the position of director of the Special Powers and Special Affairs Department at such a young age, she would not have lost her composure like this.
"We can only...report the situation truthfully to our superiors." Tsujimura Fukutsuki let out a long sigh.
Not long after, the cabinet members who heard Tsujimura Fumizuki's latest report were all stunned on the spot. They did not look like a group of successful politicians with deep scheming, but like a group of stupid geese.
A dull and depressing atmosphere enveloped this familiar Japanese-style room. Everyone stared in silence at Tsujimura Fukatsuki who came to report, as if doing so could change the sad news.
After a long while, the Prime Minister sitting at the top sighed heavily and said, "Forget it. I guess we don't have that kind of luck."
"Your Excellency..." Someone below seemed to want to say something unconvinced, but after hesitating for a while, he couldn't find any words to refute, and finally could only hang his head in despair.
There was silence for a while, and finally someone spoke up: "Since that Douma is not a transcendent, let's continue with our previous plan."
As these words rang out, the others gradually got rid of their disappointment and cheered up to agree, "Indeed, Shibuze-kun's strength has been steadily improving. In time, he will definitely be promoted to a Transcendent!"
"Then we will let those countries that look down on us see the power of Japan's 'White Kirin'."
Upon hearing this, Tsujimura Fuzuki, who had been listening with his head bowed in a gesture of respect, could not help but frown deeply.
Although the adults in the cabinet are optimistic about the "White Kirin" Shibuzawa Ryuhiko and are also very confident in the evolved psychic of the same level as them, Tsujimura Futsuki has a different opinion on this.
Can such a cold-blooded guy really become a Transcendent? And even if Shibuzawa Ryuhiko eventually becomes a Transcendent by relying on the lives of low-level psychics, will he really obey the orders of the Cabinet? Thinking of this, Tsujimura Fuzuki's eyes darkened a little.
The turmoil in Japan has attracted the attention of kind-hearted people in Russia, after all, it involves the "King of Assassination" Weilun and a suspected new transcendent.
In the dark and secret underground base, a kind-hearted Russian with black hair and red eyes and a handsome face looked at the new information on the screen and laughed out loud in a very good mood: "Interesting, the 'Assassination King' Weilun was defeated by a non-transcendent person? This is really curious."
