Realizer of Death : The Reaper

Chapter 245 245

?

Tenku was silent and did not immediately agree with Kirika's idea. Although it sounded reasonable, he felt something strange about her words. But he didn't know where and didn't think any further. Tenku released her divine consciousness and scanned the area around the neighborhood. He found several presences hiding and watching Kirika's house.

Kirika became nervous after seeing Tenku fall silent and not reply. She was worried that he would reject her idea. If that happened, then her plan would be completely ruined. So Kirika decided to speak up and give a little push to get Tenku to agree.

"Are you doubting my idea? You don't need to worry about that. Trust me. I have no ill will towards you because you have implanted a spiritual mark on me. I'm sure that my idea will be able to eliminate Chizen's jealousy of you. I would make him think that Setsuka and the other two girls were coming to Kyoto to spend winter vacation with me.

I will show those spies that you are someone they brought along and have no relation to me. Wouldn't it be troublesome if Chizen suddenly came to you? It will spoil the peace of your winter vacation along with the others. But Chizen won't act if I'm with you. I can vouch for that." Kirika said confidently. She hoped Tenku would give a positive answer after hearing that.

"No. I don't doubt your idea. But I'm not sure Setsuka and the others will accept this." Tenku sighed as she imagined the response Wang Ruyue and Setsuka would show after discovering Kirika would be coming with them to spend the winter holidays.

Their relationship was not good, and they constantly bickered over trivial matters. Even though many beautiful girls surround him, Tenku feels that Kirika's presence does not make his winter vacation enjoyable but more troublesome. Just imagining it gave him a headache.

"I can imagine how they would react after knowing it. Setsuka and Wang Ruyue would refuse. Thus, I conveyed this idea to you so that you can persuade them." Kirika said in a weak voice and showed a pitiful face.

"You don't need to show me that expression. I will say this to Setsuka and the others. But whether they agree or not is up to them. I will not persuade them to follow your words. After all, traveling to various cities in Japan to spend the winter holidays was their idea. So the decision rests with the three girls. I will follow whatever they say." Tenku explained. Although he knew Kirika was acting, seeing his acquaintances showing such expressions was unbearable.

"That's good! As long as you say it, they won't refuse it. After all, it's for their good. If Chizen suddenly appears and causes trouble, it will ruin your winter vacation in Kyoto." Kirika replied excitedly. She was relieved that her plans tonight had gone smoothly.

First, she could spend time alone with Tenku over tea. Second, Kirika wanted to show that she wasn't a pretty girl with problems but could solve them too.

In other words, she wanted Tenku to see her as a reliable girl. That way, Kirika can give a good impression in his eyes. Third and lastly, Kirika could spend winter holidays with Tenku.

All the goals of his plan have been fulfilled. Of course, that was on the premise that Setsuka and the other two girls agreed to the idea. Even though they would initially object, Kirika was sure they couldn't refuse something for Tenku's good.

Regarding Chizen's problem, that was just an excuse to ask Tenku to chat. Kirika is confident that she can eliminate Chizen's jealousy of Tenku. She would show the closeness of Tenku and the girls to the spies Chizen sent to watch over her.

That way, Chizen would think that Tenku had nothing to do with Kirika and only came to accompany Setsuka and Wang Ruyue, just like he had said at the airport. Even though Kirika is not happy because she has to see the closeness between Tenku and the three girls, she has to do it to solve the problem she brought for him.

Afterward, she could do as she pleased and act behind Setsuka and the others. Kirika intends to pursue Tenku aggressively and deepen their relationship this winter vacation. As long as the spies sent by Cizhen didn't see their closeness, it was fine.

"I hope so. Anyway, why don't you like Chizen? I saw that he was quite handsome and had a great background. On top of that, he was a Realizer with decent combat power. Aren't those criteria enough to make any woman fall in love?

What's more, he's the one actively pursuing you. If you want to exterminate monsters from other worlds, isn't Chizen the right man to be your partner?" Tenku asked curiously. If Kirika had chosen Chizen from the start, there might be no victims because of his jealousy.

"Yes, you're right. He is handsome and comes from the Kinzoku family, one of the strongest Realizer groups in Japan. In addition, he was strong and could fight against high-level monsters. Unfortunately, he had become arrogant and too proud of himself because of it. He looked down on everyone who was weaker than him and had an ordinary background.

Chizen chased me not because he loved me but because of my appearance and ability. He never tried to get to know me more, what I like and hate. So his feeling is more like an obsession than love.

Besides, not all women will like a man like Chizen. Setsuka, Wang Ruyue, and Kaede were examples. They didn't show the slightest interest when they saw him." Kirika answered seriously.

If Chizen had Tenku's temperament and power, Kirika would fall in love with him and be happy to have a romantic relationship. She would give her heart and body to him. Unfortunately, Chizen is not Tenku.

"Hmm... Wasn't it natural for someone to be arrogant and proud because he was strong and had a great family background?" Tenku looked at Kirika and asked another question.

"Yeah, that's only natural. Unfortunately, I wouldn't say I like that type of guy. But not all strong men will act like Chizen. An example is you. Don't you prefer to be modest rather than show off your strength?" Kirika smiled and stuck her tongue out at him.

She looked at Tenku with eyes full of affection and no longer hid it. Kirika tries to be brave enough to show her feelings because she wants Tenku to realize her love. Unfortunately, Tenku couldn't figure that out. He could feel the love from Setsuka and Wang Ruyue because the two girls directly expressed their feelings for him. Kirika didn't do what they had done.

"I did it because I didn't want anything troublesome to come my way. With great power comes great responsibility. I'm not too fond of that sentence. I'm training hard to get stronger because I have a goal I want to achieve. So there's no point in me flaunting my power because it will only invite trouble for me." Tenku sighed heavily.

He probably wouldn't have lost his childhood dream of becoming a great Realizer to protect the world if he hadn't lost his parents and sister in the space collapse incident in his hometown. Tenku will show his strength and make a name for himself. But his goal has changed since a monster killed his parents, and Haruna disappeared into the portal.

"Yes, I know about that. If I had to choose, I would choose a guy like you over Chizen because you can make my heart more comfortable and safe." Subconsciously, Kirika smiled sweetly and said those words.

Tenku looked at her and was speechless. He didn't know how to respond to her statement. Kirika quickly realized that she had said something that she shouldn't have said because she was carried away by her feelings and their current situation.

"Ah! What I mean is you are better than Chizen and the boys I know! I use you as a comparison because most men who try to get close to me have some purpose, but you are different. Therefore, it's not wrong if I choose you, right? Every woman will choose the best man to make them feel comfortable and safe!" Kirika explained frantically, and her face turned red. She felt that her heart was beating so fast.

"I understand. Your words are not wrong. If I were in your position, I would also choose the best man for me." Tenku nodded and felt relieved. After hearing her words, he thought the girl had fallen in love with him. Fortunately, that is only a mere comparison.

Tenku doesn't want to make another love debt because it will only give him a headache. First, he had to properly answer Wang Ruyue and Setsuka's feelings. After that, Tenku will repay her love debt to Huang Yuxin. Of course, he would settle all those problems after he found his missing sister.

(Why did I explain my words to him!? Wouldn't it be great if Tenku found out about my feelings!? But I said that reflexively, fearing that he would avoid me if he realized I had fallen in love with him! It turns out that showing affection to a man is difficult. How would Setsuka and Wang Ruyue express their love? If they can do it, then I can do it too! I will try again another time!)

Kirika sighed in her heart. At first, she was confident that she would easily show her feelings for Tenku and make him realize it. But it turns out Kirika was wrong because this is her first love. Even though she is good at acting, Kirika has difficulty expressing her love in words.

She wanted to act aggressively to deepen their relationship, but she also didn't want to be seen as a slut. After all, Kirika is an idol and should be able to maintain her image. As she was lost in those thoughts, Tenku's voice brought her back to her senses.

"I'm going back to my room now. I will discuss that matter with Setsuka and the others tomorrow." Tenku finished his cup of tea and stood up from his seat.

"Ah, yes! I understand!" Kirika subconsciously raised her voice.

"You don't need to accompany me because I can return to my room alone." Tenku didn't want to trouble Kirika more than this since she had given them free lodging.

"Alright." Kirika nodded at Tenku's words.

"In that case, I'll take my leave now. Good night." Tenku said softly, leaving the place.

"Good night." Kirika kept looking at Tenku until her figure disappeared from her sight. She placed her hand on her chest and felt her heart still beating so loud that it would explode.

The next day, Tenku and the others had finished their breakfast and were ready to visit one of the tourist spots in Kyoto. But then the three girls screamed when they saw that Kirika was among them.

"Why is Kirika coming with us!?" Setsuka, Wang Ruyue, and Kaede said in unison.
