Chapter 1280. Crus.h.i.+ng Negatives / Drill Seven

「 Well, for now, go see what kind of girls they are 」

Two tanned sisters coming from Southeast Asia

Kyouko-san looked at Dolly and Anna, the a.s.sa.s.sins, and said.

Also.

「 Cordelia, where’s my spear again? 」

「 Here, Eenie 」

Miss Cordelia looked at one of her gray-haired twin pets. Eenie.

Then, Eenie took out a cylindrical object about 30cm long from a bag and carried it to Kyouko-san.

That large Maglite-looking torch is a spear?

「 Should I join in? 」

Miss Cordelia asks Kyouko-san but…

「 I should be enough. Cordelia, Eenie, and Meenie should watch around and make sure the kids don’t get hurt

「 Right, I should 」

「 Edie and Michi too. As for the bodyguards over there, don’t do anything. It’ll only put you in danger 」

Kyouko-san said, then took the heavy pipe from Eenie.

「 Kyouko Messer! Rising up 」

Shakon! Shakon! Shakon!!

The top and bottom of the cylindrical object extended and became a spear.

「 Isn’t that exciting? I hade it custom modeled after Date Omito’s spear 」

Kyouko-san spins the stretched spear with a light motion.

「 Well then, since this is only an exhibition match, it’ll only be for a minute. However, it will be a serious fight. A fight for your life 」

Kyouko-san tells us, then she speaks to Dolly Lu and Anna Lu with a language I don’t understand.

「 Oui 」

「 Ahan 」

The a.s.sa.s.sin sisters smiled. Then…

They pressed the switch on the electric drill on their hands.

Gyaiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnn!!

The roar of the drill spinning at high speed announced the start of the fight.

「 Haiyaa!! 」

「 Shaa!! 」

Dolly and Anna jumped and tried to pin Kyouko-san from both sides.

「 No thanks!! 」

Kyouko-san rushed towards Dolly and poked her with the spear.

「 Victory goes to the first move!!! Kyouko Dynamic!! 」

But, Dolly.

「 Eisha!!! 」

Her drill spear is flexible.

The tip of the drill which is rotating at a high speed extends and attacks Kyouko-san.

「 Tsk!! 」

Kyouko-san deflects the drill with her spear.

「 Sha!! 」

But, Anna thrusts her drill spear from a blind spot.

「 Oops! 」

Kyouko-san avoids Anna’s attack but soon enough, Dolly’s drill spear comes at her again.

Kyouko-san and the drill sisters are both serious.

Both of them are aiming for each other’s vital points in their fight.

「 Shaiaa!! 」

Boom!!

The rotating drill fires off the tip of Anna’s spear.

Seems like a high-pressure gas ejected it.

「 No thanks!! 」

Kyouk-san avoids it but pulls the steel wire to the drill as it flies off.

The wire limited the direction she could avoid.

「 Hyauu!! 」

Dolly also fires off the drill tip to Kyouko-san.

This is bad. Looking at the trajectory, the drill’s going to fly off to Grace Marinka-san.

「 It’s okay 」

Miss Cordelia jumped in and kicked off the drill with the tip of her boots.

「 My boots are special as it’s made of metal, It’s a countermeasure for these girls 」

Miss Cordelia said with a smile.

「 Gas pressure ejection has a slower initial velocity that’s why you can do this too 」

「 Shaaa!! 」

Anna tried to use the drill tip and spear connected by wires to spin the spear-like bramble and slam it to Kyouko-san.

This is bad. Now the other girls might get hit.

I embraced Agnes, making sure just in case.

On the other hand, Dolly’s trying to get back the drill spear by pressing the b.u.t.ton on the spear.

「 Chance!! 」

As soon as Kyouko-san says that, her spear split into two and extended.

「 What? Is it a seven-bladed club?! 」

Nei shouts

「 Teiyaa! 」

Kyouko-san tosses the seven-bladed club to Anna’s legs.

「 Hyauu!! 」

Anna’s posture is broken.

「 Kishaa!! 」

Dolly retrieves the drill tip and thrusts her spear at Kyouko-san.

「 Hmph!! 」

Kyouko-san used her spear skillfully and deflected Dolly’s drill.

At that moment.

「 s.h.i.+ngetsu!!! 」

Michi washes everyone away with the wave of her QI.

「 Haa, haa, haa, haa, what’s this?! 」

Grace Marinka-san who experienced s.h.i.+ngetsu for the first time, asks with her body twitching.

「 It’s the so-called Qi technique. However, it’s only 30 percent of the usual 」

Edie’s right. That wasn’t the full power s.h.i.+ngetsu.

That’s why Nei and I were able to endure it as we experienced it before.

「 Ugh, it’s so sudden that it surprised me. 」

Agnes says that but she’s experienced Michi use her Qi during s.e.x multiple times so it doesn’t affect her body that much.

Kudou Haruka and Kendou Maria’s knocked off, but…

Kuromiya Motoko-san, the combat young lady, was able to endure because there could be something in the Kuromiya arts that uses Qi.

Edie, who can use the same technique is the same.

「 That was one minute as agreed 」

Michi speaks with her usual blank face.

「 I thought I should stop the fight by now 」

「 Oh yeah. It’s a little surprising, but thanks 」

Kyouko-san is a little staggered as she replies.

But, the drill sisters lost their balance, they fell to the ground.

Their drills have fallen to the ground, still making a sound.

「 Well, that’s how it is. The girls have great physical abilities and combo, but they can’t use Qi techniques. The young ladies over there can use it, right? I heard that from Edie 」

Kyouko-san told Kuromiya-san.

「 Therefore, I could say that you girls are much more capable in fighting than these drill girls. But, in a serious fight. These girls are stronger. They will literally come at you with the intent to kill 」

Seeing their fight just now made me understand.

It’s just a minute of an exhibition match, but Dolly and Anna didn’t show hesitation in coming to Kyouko-san to kill her.

「 If it was just a minute longer, then they’ll take my life even if it means sacrificing one of them. If they can’t kill their opponent, then they will die. That’s the world they lived in 」

Kyouko-san looked at the drill sisters and said.

「 Being a female a.s.sa.s.sin is miserable. If you fail your a.s.sa.s.sination, then you have to kill yourself before they kill you. If you don’t die before you confess who gave the order, then they’ll torture you badly. In some cases, even if the a.s.sa.s.sination is successful, the person who carried it out is disposed of off to settle the score between organizations. It’s h.e.l.l to die, it’s h.e.l.l to live. These girls are still privileged because of their skills, but most of them are sent to blow themselves up with a backpack full of explosives. Their direction is straight to h.e.l.l. That’s why the girl a.s.sa.s.sins all die before they reach 20 」

They lived in such a scary world.

「 Even when Cordelia and I raided the organization that had these girls, the female a.s.sa.s.sins didn’t run away, just watch us wipe off the adults in the organization with a puzzled look. Some of them were hit by stray bullets and died, but they didn’t run. They think that it’s also h.e.l.l even if they run outside 」

Death is just waiting for them no matter where they go, so they didn’t move amid bullets flying around.

「 However, when we killed almost all of them, they realized that the organization was over. Others didn’t react, but these sisters were the only ones who moved and killed the head of the group with their own hands. I guess they still have some remaining hatred in their heart as the boss sent their friends to their deaths. That’s why I thought of bringing these girls to j.a.pan 」

Kyouko-san said.

「 These sisters are the strongest of the surviving a.s.sa.s.sins and they have influence over the other girls. If these girls can change for the better in j.a.pan, then the other a.s.sa.s.sins who lost hearts might still be saved. That’s why you can use the Miko power on them however you want. If that means them regaining their humanity 」

Girls who know nothing but to kill, regain their humanity.

「 These girl a.s.sa.s.sins only have memories of how they were raised. They were formerly orphans after all. They never lived with a family where they feel safe around them. That’s why they can’t join the family right away. They don’t know what a family is in the first place 」

The drill sisters finally got up and looked at us curiously.

「 They need a new owner right now. That’s what I want you to do 」

Me.

「 Also, I want you to teach these girls a way of life other than being an a.s.sa.s.sin. If these girls can change, then the other a.s.sa.s.sins can too. There are still 11 female a.s.sa.s.sins left alive.

Including these two, there are 13 female a.s.sa.s.sins.

「 You can have all thirteen of them. I’m sure that you need the strength that’s trained from an early age 」

I own the Kouzuki SS.

And I’m also the brother of Kuromori Minaho, the boss of the crime syndicate the Black Forest.

「 We don’t need a.s.sa.s.sins, but these girls would be great as bodyguards 」

Edie told me with a smile.

「 I hear that some of the n.o.bility feel threatened as Jii-chan gave Kouzuki SS to me 」

I look at Kuromiya-san.

Going so far that a family sent their daughter to be a watchdog.

「 I have the Takakura shrine maidens. They seem to think that Misuzu and Ruriko’s presence means that Jii-chan’s granddaughters are a hostage, and that’s how I borrow the power of the Kouzuki house. If you add 13 former a.s.sa.s.sins on top of that, I’m sure that my family will be in a worse situation than that 」

That’s what I’m worried about.

「 You seem to be misunderstanding something 」

Kyouko-san tells me.

「 It’s natural for powerful people to be feared1 Once you’re in that situation, there’s no such thing as outsiders losing their fear. It doesn’t matter what you do 」

That’s…

「 Even if the old man backing you is gone, Minaho or I disappear, even if the Takakura shrine maidens die. Yes, even if all the people with power, money, and influence leaves, you, Edie, or Michi, just one of them will do. As long as someone remains by your side, the timid families will still see you as a threat 」

Michi and Edie are geniuses, they’re quite strong. Furthermore, they’re cute too.

Their initiative is amazing.

True, people will feel danger just from having them by my side.

「 No, even if Edie or Michi’s away, and you’re all alone, you’re still a threat to them as you know the other side of the n.o.bility and the underground society. Your existence has become a fearsome being now 」

「 But I’m just an ordinary high school boy 」

I’m just an ordinary freshman.

To be precise, I’m dumber than ordinary high school students.

「 What you think about yourself doesn’t matter. What’s important is what the outsiders see you as 」

Kyouko-san might be right.

「 You’re already a major threat to the n.o.bility, the underground, and for that matter, the j.a.panese government. You’re an international felon, and also an ally of mine and Cordelia’s 」

Right, just having a close relations.h.i.+p with Kyouko-san…

I think it’s already enough to make me a threat.

「 You can’t abandon everything and run away now. Well, I know that you’re not the type who’d do that 」

Kyouko-san said with a smile.

「 So, you should be ready for it. People already consider you a big threat so you need to increase your power to keep yourself and your family safe. If you show them an opportunity, they’ll seize it 」

Grow my power?

「 Edie, Michi, Kouzuki SS’ Shou and Reika, and the little birds you have over there. You have a lot of talented ones, but still not enough. You need to be more greedy. If you find someone just a bit talented, then take them. Do it like Sousou Moutoku 」

Who’s that?

「 If you’re not taking the 13 a.s.sa.s.sins, then their only choice is to die. You don’t have to hold back, use them as you see fit. Starting with these sisters 」

Kyouko-san looked at Dolly and Anna once again.

「 These girls are tanned, but the other 11 are from different races and appearances. These girls are Malay, but they have some French blood in them. it’s not much the blood of the formerly sovereign states, but even now, there are still many whites who come to Southeast Asia to buy women. The previous owners of these girls picked up orphans who were born and abandoned for such reasons and turned them into a.s.sa.s.sins. It’s better to have a variety of races to send to an a.s.sa.s.sination scene after all 」

「 It’s a pattern of a.s.sa.s.sinating foreigners visiting luxury resorts in Southeast Asia after all. They can pretend to be a white tourist kid and sneak into hotels that the local kids can’t get into 」

Miss Cordelia added.

「 Oh, by the way, all thirteen of them are still virgins. I think that it’s because their original owner was a bit of a crazy old lady boss that she never allowed men to touch them 」

Right, I see.

Then, that’s when…

「 Uhm, is everyone still busy? 」

Tsukiko comes over.

Tsukiko’s already wearing the uniform of our school, where she will attend from now on as well.

「 Kou-sama came here to call everyone but everyone didn’t show up for breakfast so I came to check the situation 」

Oh right.

Agnes and I came over to tell the morning-practice group to come and eat breakfast.

「 Oh, sorry. I got it off tangent 」

Kyouko-san said laughingly.

「 Well, let’s go eat breakfast! With that said, I’ll leave these girls in your care! 」

Kyouko-san said and went inside the mansion first.

「 What do we do, Darling? 」

Edie comes to my side and asks.

Dolly and Anna look dumbfounded, still lying down on the lawn.

「 Well, I think I can talk to them at least 」

Edie can manage to communicate with them.

Also.

「 It’s no coincidence that it’s Tsukiko who came over, right? 」

Minaho must’ve been watching us on the courtyard and sent Tsukiko here.

「 YEs. I can handle their minds through Edie-san 」

Tsukiko said.

「 Right. For now, just make sure that they never harm the family 」

It’s a problem if they bring out their spears just from a silly argument.

「 Also, make them look up at Kou-sama as their only Lord, and absolutely obey whatever you say 」

Tsukiko said.

「 You need to put a strong brake at them or the girls will be in danger 」

That’s…

Yeah, it can’t be helped.

It’s definitely bad if I can’t stop them when I tell them if there’s any trouble.

「 Okay. I’ll take responsibility, do that 」

I said.

「 What are you talking about, Tsukiko carries the same responsibility as Kou-sama 」

「 Me too 」

Tsukiko and Edie smiled at me.

「 But, Tsukiko, are you not afraid of peeking into their minds? 」

These girl a.s.sa.s.sins have killed people without hesitation. Their mentality and memories aren’t normal.

「 I’ve seen much more horrible minds back in Kyoto before 」

Tsukiko said.

「 I’m already accustomed to seeing people with dark hearts like murderers 」

Right… Takakura shrine had Kansai Yakuza living there.

Tsukiko’s real father was a Yakuza boss too.

「 Compared to their hearts, these girls are still pure 」

Tsukiko, the eldest of the three was the first to awaken her Miko power and endured seeing the ugly hearts of the Yakuza.

「 That’s why I’m the one who has to do this because of my tolerance 」

That’s why it’s not Yomi or Luna, but Tsukiko.

「 Can you make those girls show an opening in their minds? I can dive deep into their mind if they do 」

Tsukiko said.

「 Okay 」

Edie then talked to Dolly and Anna with a smile.

They’re listening with a dumbfounded look, but…

Before long, Edie stretches out her hand.

Edie lightly squeezed the finger of the two and while smiling…

「 s.h.i.+ngetsu! 」

She uses touch to drive in her s.h.i.+ngetsu.

With this, the drill sisters will be the only ones to feel the waves of Qi.

「 Hyagu! 」

「 Hakyauu 」

As soon as the sisters shouted. Tsukiko put her hand on Edie’s shoulder.

She then enters the mind of the sisters through Edie.

◇　◇　◇

「 I was half-hearted 」

Grace Marinka-san says while walking to the dining room.

I let Edie and Tsukiko take care of modifying Dolly and Anna and we hurried to the dining room.

Today is a weekday so we have to go to school.

「 “I don’t want to lose to anyone.” “I want to be stronger,” I said those words, but I wasn’t in the level where it’s kill or be killed. All I thought about is beating up someone 」

Kyouko-san and Edie and the a.s.sa.s.sin sisters made her think a lot of things.

「 I’m the same, in the end, I’m just a martial artist in sports 」

Kudou Haruka said.

「 I’ve been thinking on how shallow I’ve been thinking so far 」

Kudomiya Motoko-san sighs.

「 There are no rules in actual combat, and you have to be as unfair as you can to survive. If they can use spear that freely, then our spearmans.h.i.+p is no match 」

「 The Kuromiya style of spear fighting was developed during the Warring states so there’s no way we can deal with a spear that has a drill as it’s tip 」

Kuromiya-san’s bodyguard, Mikuriya-san said.

「 Right. We need to accept that our spears are already out of its time 」

It’s unusable in real combat.

That said, they can’t also make it a sport either.

Kuromiya arts has a rugged future.

「 Well, now that you know it, you can now take your time to think about it 」

Nei said with a bright smile.

「 Hey, Papa! Agnes wants to be friends with the girls from earlier 」

Agnes said.

「 Those girls are similar to Agnes back then 」
