I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

"Can I leave after that?"

Honoka didn't know why she said such a defiant thing.

She was so full of self-blame and sadness on the Spirit Island, but now...

"Well, yes."

"At that time, it will be up to you whether you stay or leave."

Huang did not hesitate.

Such a transaction seems to benefit both parties; it's quite fair.

However, this extremely simple answer made Honoka clench her small fists even tighter.

Of course, she didn't say anything more, but simply let go of his hand and turned to leave.

"Wait a moment."

But just then, Huang suddenly spoke up.

"Is there anything else?"

Honoka turned to the side and asked.

My emotions calmed down a bit.

Regardless of the circumstances, the other person was his savior, the one who rescued him when he was at his most desperate.

"Give me your hand."

Huang's words remained direct, yet a vibrant life force lingered around his fingertips.

[Ghostly entanglement·Dead wood grows flowers! 】

"doing what?"

This request caused Honoka to take a few steps back, and instead of extending her hands as requested, she put them behind her back, as if to protect herself from a wolf.

"You're injured. Let me treat you."

Hearing the question tinged with wariness, Huang replied naturally.

"From now on, you're considered my subordinate."

He continued speaking, his gaze calm.

"Oh."

Upon hearing this, Honoka's expression froze, and it took her a while to squeeze out a single word. However, she then moved closer and extended her bandaged hands.

The girl's hands were beautiful, slender and fair, but the presence of several scars somewhat marred their beauty.

After gently unwrapping the bandages, Huang's fingers traced the wounds that snaked across the other's palm, and a vibrant life force emanated from them, easily healing these wounds. This was the power of the Firefly Grass.

"In the future, if you encounter a battle or other emergencies, prioritize protecting yourself."

"Do not worry about me."

After releasing the girl's hand, Huang added.

When he summoned the giant eagle to escape from the crater, he naturally took in the scene below. These wounds must be marks left by the other party when they were moving the boulders.

But the girl in front of him seemed to have crashed, and she became silent again, staring blankly at something.

"understand?"

Huang subconsciously asked another question, waving his raised hand in front of his eyes.

Upon hearing the sound, Honoka suddenly snapped out of her daze, abruptly withdrawing her gaze from the boy and involuntarily taking a few steps back.

So, so this idiot knew I was worried about him!

"Oh!"

It's still the same single word.

However, the tone seemed a bit harsher.

This way of answering left Huang somewhat stunned.

Quan Jie said that when talking to others, especially when talking to girls, you can't just say one word every time.

Because this is the bare minimum of respect, it cannot be treated perfunctorily.

Now, he pays attention to this every time he speaks with others, and even if he occasionally utters a single word, he will immediately add something else.

However, it seems that Sister Quan never taught her how to respond when the other person always answers word by word.

"puff!"

"Hahahaha!"

"I'm dying of laughter! I'm dying of laughter!"

A sudden burst of laughter broke the silence in the room.

"Huang, you really are stupid."

It was Chino's voice. She had arrived at the door at some point, and a middle-aged man was following behind her. Ara seemed to remember that the man's name was either Hirakawa Tsukasa or Hirakawa Tomokazu.

Well, whatever his name is, he's the man who got a good punch from Chino.

Honoka blushed inexplicably upon seeing the two who suddenly appeared.

"Then let's do this for now."

She hurriedly uttered a nonsensical closing remark and then rushed out the door.

At the same time, when passing by Chino, she did not forget to bow slightly, as if to express her gratitude for the kindness shown to her in the laboratory.

However, just as she was about to step out of the room, she hesitated and turned back around.

"correct."

"You mean, you can leave or stay as you please, right?"

Honoka's voice contained a strange emotion.

There was trepidation, panic, hope, and perhaps other feelings.

"um, yes."

"Then you can leave."

"I will keep my promise."

Huang didn't doubt him, assuming that the other party still cared about the previous verbal agreement.

However........

"Hahaha......."

Chino's barely suppressed laughter resurfaced, seemingly becoming even more 'unrestrained', as she clutched her stomach with both hands and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Oh!!"

In response, Honoka once again ended with that unchanging single word, and the annoyed tone was unmistakable.

But why?

He looked completely bewildered.

at the same time.

[Good]: Honoka's gratitude. (Erased)

[Good]: Honoka is annoying!

"...So, you want to come with me?"

Huang looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with some uncertainty.

He really couldn't figure out what the other person was thinking.

After all, aside from the conflict when they first met, it seems like they had no interaction with each other.

The decision to send the four surviving researchers back with the ship was solely out of humanitarian considerations.

Of course, he would definitely use the kaleidoscope to change something before disembarking.

"Yes, I've thought about it, and we were wrong about those experiments."

“Those who do not respect life will eventually be consumed by the consequences they cause, so I want to follow you and make amends.”

“I am different from them; I am a researcher from the Land of the Sea. Therefore, there will be no particularly strong constraints. I will resign to His Highness the Daimyo after I return home.”

Tsukasa Hirakawa explained earnestly.

The terrifying monster they created with their own hands, the ferocious creature that devoured most of the people they worked with, became an indelible shadow in his memory.

Such research could not possibly continue.

Now all he wants is to atone for his sins and to be grateful.

"make up?"

"It doesn't seem like it should be made up to me, does it?"

Huang's voice was full of doubt, and he did not give a casual answer.

Why did he take the initiative to invite Honoka to join him?

That's because of the existence of "goodness," which can directly discern whether the other party harbors malice.

But he was a little unsure about the guy in front of him.

"Yes, that's right, it should be to make amends to those summoned beasts."

Hirakawa Tsukasa's voice lowered slightly, and genuine guilt appeared in his eyes.

In order to create that ultimate 'weapon', they fed countless spirit beasts as the source of power.

"But they will no longer accept us."
