I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

The Starflow is a bit better, but it's still over 700.

These three need to be trained properly.

“What a disgrace.” Gil scoffed, then walked toward the spot prepared for Homra.

"Ugh...really..." Kushina Yoru scratched her head in annoyance and sat down next to Gil.

At this moment, the person in charge finally appeared—a bald man in a uniform entered the room.

The club presidents, including Kisara, stood up, while the man waved for everyone to sit down. Kushina, who was next to Gil, stood up, but Gil remained seated, leaning back in her chair.

But the bald man didn't pay attention and only glanced at the table.

"Is someone absent...?"

Jill's eyesight allowed her to clearly see the sign that read "Ose Foresight Company".

"Before explaining the contents of this commission, I hope that companies that are not interested will leave immediately. Because after hearing the contents of the commission, they will not be able to refuse."

When this somewhat forceful statement was uttered, Jill stood up and voiced her objection.

"Sorry, we Homra refuse this mission."

This statement immediately caused a huge uproar.

"Our Homra's business model involves assigning tasks. If a task is mandatory, it naturally has a certain degree of confidentiality. If a task cannot be compiled into a task list and released to internal members, then Homra will not accept that task!"

The president, sitting opposite Jill, scoffed, "Little brat, what makes you think you can say that?"

“I have the authority to decide for Homra,” Gillespie said casually, shutting him down. “Mr. Kushina is sitting right next to me and hasn’t said anything. Why are you asking? Don’t you think you’re overstepping your bounds?!”

The moment those words were spoken, the other person's expression turned extremely ugly.

The bald man frowned. "This is a commission from the government!"

“Sorry, we Homra are not affiliated with the government!” Gil retorted sarcastically. “Let’s go, Kushina, Hane!”

"Please wait a moment, Gil." The moment these words were spoken, the big screen lit up.

All the company presidents stood up in a flurry of activity.

"Please sit down, everyone. There's no need to be so formal."

Dressed in pure white like a blanket of snow, with silver hair, she was the Holy Emperor, the ruler of the D-Kyoto region after the defeat of the RB Gastrea War.

An elderly man—a robust man in a kimono who looked quite well—was by her side like her shadow.

When Gil saw Kikunojo Tendo, he just sneered, "What's wrong, you old bastard from the Tendo family? Inviting Homra here this time was your idea, wasn't it?"

Despite having so many people present, Gil directly cursed Kikunojo Tendo, causing everyone to reconsider Gil's identity.

"I will not mix public and private matters." Kikunojo Tendo's voice rang out. "Our grudges can be settled privately. I will never be confused here."

"Hmph... Hahahahahaha... That's ridiculous." Gil laughed and sat back down in his seat. "Tendo Kikunojo, you old bastard, you're really not funny at all."

"..." Kikunojo Tendo looked at Gil with a cold gaze.

Jill glared back without hesitation, "What's wrong, you old bastard from the Tiantong family? Do you have some other ideas?"

With just a few words, everyone could understand how irreconcilable the relationship between the two was.

The word "bad" is not even sufficient to describe it.

The terrible relationship between the two was naturally due to two years of open and covert struggles.

The conflict between Gillespie and Kikunojo Tendo was destined from the very beginning of Homra.

He is one of the few people who truly know that Gilgamesh is the true leader of Homra, the "Red King".

No matter what methods Kikunojo Tendo uses, Gilgamesh always has even stronger ways to retaliate. Kikunojo Tendo has suffered countless injustices while Homra continues to thrive.

This can be said to be a deep-seated ailment in the heart of Kikunojo Tendo.

Jill met him several times, and each time Jill referred to him as "the old bastard of the Tian Tong family".

Jill would never use the term "bastard" to refer to someone casually, unless the other person was someone she truly loathed to the extreme.

After a long silence, Tendo Kikunojo said, "Then, please explain the entrustment, Your Majesty."

Jill didn't want to argue anymore, so she just pursed her lips and turned her gaze to the Holy Emperor.

Chapter 89 He's nothing but a clown!

When the Holy Emperor saw that Gilles and Kikunojo had stopped, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The Holy Emperor and Gil had naturally met. Although Gil was young, he was not afraid of Tendo Kikunojo at all, and even gave Tendo Kikunojo several unpleasant surprises despite the pressure.

This also amazed the Holy Emperor, especially since she saw the old man, who had experienced the trials of politics, look as if he had eaten shit when his subordinates mentioned Homra.

...In short, don't worry about these things.

"Please relax, everyone. I'll explain now. The request is quite simple. I need you police officers to identify the Gastrea that entered the Tokyo area yesterday and caused an infection in one person. Also, please ensure the safe disposal of any suitcases that may have been ingested by Gastrea."

Jill narrowed her eyes.

Yesterday, after Gil gave Rentaro a mission, that's what happened.

Gil glanced at Rentaro, whose face showed surprise.

Another window appeared on the cold light panel, displaying a photo of a silver-gray suitcase. The numbers next to it indicated the reward upon completion.

A look of understanding crossed Jill's face.

That reward was simply too high.

Not to mention Gil, even Rentaro sensed that something was wrong.

Just as Kisara was about to raise her hand, Gil suddenly jumped up and stuffed a sugar cube into Kisara's mouth.

“You’ve been here so long, clown. It’s disrespectful to stay without your master’s permission.” Jill suddenly looked in one direction.

"Huh?!" At this moment, the two presidents realized something was wrong in the direction Jill was looking, and jumped away with a "Huh!"

A strange man wearing a mask, a top hat, and a tuxedo appeared in the empty seat where President Ose had just been. His legs were propped up on the table.

"I thought I'd have to speak up for anyone to notice, but this red-eyed guy is quite surprising." The man didn't leave the table with his feet, but instead lifted his entire upper body off the chair and stood on the table.

“…Truly a clown, he has no manners at all.” Jill stared at the masked man with disgust.

The masked man ignored Jill and walked to the center of the table, facing the Holy Emperor through the screen.

"Excuse me." The man took off his top hat and bowed deeply. "My surname is Hiruko, and my full name is Hiruko Kagetane. It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Highness, the incompetent head of state."

A chill ran down his spine, causing Rentaro to draw his pistol. "You bastard..."

The man who called himself Hiruko Kagetane suddenly turned to look at Rentaro: "Hehehe, my new friend, classmate Satomi, how have you been?"

"Rentaro, don't be reckless." Gil pressed down Rentaro's arm. "Clown, please continue your performance."

"Oh my, little brother... how surprising! Didn't you even ask where I came from?"

"Do I need to ask? This strong smell of blood!" Jill said, looking at the other person with an icy expression.

"Hahahaha! Little brother, you're quite perceptive. So, have you ever killed anyone?"

"Spit it out, clown. I have no interest in watching your performance," Jill said angrily, frowning.

"Haha, that's fine, Hina, come here."

"Yes, Dad."

Everyone except Jill looked on in surprise. The girl had short, wavy hair and wore a black dress adorned with lace. Two scabbards were crossed at her waist. Jill estimated that they were shorter than her own Ice Lotus or Cherry Blossom Blizzard, suggesting they were short katanas.

The girl climbed onto the table using both her hands and feet, then ran towards Hiruko Kagetane, lifted her skirt, and bowed.

"My name is Hiruko Kobinai, and I'm ten years old."

"She is my originator, and also my daughter."

Hiruko Kageyu explained it this way.

Jill finally couldn't hold back any longer.

Damn it, if you want to say something, just say it, or you won't listen, huh?

"Clang!" The Imitation Spirit Blade, Ice Lotus Heaven, was drawn and slashed fiercely at Hiruko Kagetane. However, Hiruko Kohina reacted quickly and stood in front of Gil.

Gil raised his sword and slashed upwards, forcefully deflecting the sword from Hiruko Kohina's hand, then kicked out hard.

boom!

This time, it was Hiruko Kagetane who reached out and grabbed Gilles's foot, and Gilles's eyes narrowed—

Hiruko Kohina immediately jumped up and fiercely slashed at Gil with a leaping attack.

A look of seriousness appeared on Jill's face.

This was the second time he had used dual swords.

clang!

The spirit sword, Cherry Blossom Blizzard, was drawn, blocking Hiruko Kohina's attack.

But Gil forgot that he was still being held captive by Hiruko Kagetane.

Hiruko Kagetane swung her around with great force, tossing Gil into the air. Gil regained her balance in mid-air and landed on the other side of the table.

"You've got some skills, you clown."

With one hand gripping the imitation spirit sword, Ice Blooming Sky, which exuded a chilling aura, and the other hand holding the spirit sword, Cherry Blossom Blizzard, Gil finally revealed a murderous intent on his face.

"Hahahaha, this is hilarious! Such an incompetent leader! We'll continue this competition, though. Let's confirm the rules! Whoever finds the infected Gastrea first and obtains the Seven Stars' legacy wins. The Seven Stars' legacy should already be inside the Gastrea, so to get it, you must first kill the infected Gastrea. The stake is your lives. What do you say?" He paused, then added, "I haven't yet asked your name?"

This was said to Jill, and it was incredibly rude of the head of state to say this to someone from another civilian faction.

Jill replied casually, "Just call me Jill."

"Heh... Hahahaha! The only one here who can fight me is just a child?!" Hiruko Kagetane laughed loudly.

“Bastard, your laughter is disgusting…” Jill gripped her two spirit swords tightly. “I’ll end you here.”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I still have my own wishes, so I can't die yet."

"Then I'll let you keep one arm." Jill took a step forward, "Soul Flash - Formless—"

The next moment, it was as if time and space had been crossed—
