I love time travel the most!

Polus was originally a member of the incineration force. Because he obeyed the orders of the empire, he burned many innocent people to death, so he believed that he would one day receive the retribution he deserved.

A person like him can hardly be called gentle.

But in Kobayashi's eyes, Polus, who knew his sins and felt guilty about them, was far better than those demons and monsters in human skin.

"As for Seryu..."

Kobayashi looked at the somewhat agitated Seryu and said, "Although she's a strange person who's a bit obsessed with justice, I think Seryu is a good kid."

"Does Kobayashi agree with my sense of justice?"

"That's not true."

Kobayashi said that only because she and Polus were her next targets.

That's right, he's about to stir up trouble.

Everything in Chapter 73 was done for a happy ending.

After Kobayashi began cooperating with Night Raid, Night Raid asked him to provide them with information about the Hunters so that they could eliminate one of them as soon as possible.

They were initially quite nervous, thinking that appearing too eager might make Xiaolin resistant. Unexpectedly, Xiaolin was even more enthusiastic than they were, demanding that both members leave the stage at once.

He even boldly declared, "If you don't have the courage and appetite, you shouldn't cooperate."

It's an obvious provocation tactic.

But they accepted it.

After confirming several times, they decided to target Borus and Seryu.

Seryu was specifically chosen for the night raid.

It's obvious that it's to avenge Hill, and it's highly likely that Mine strongly requested it.

Some regrets.

I originally planned to keep her by my side to train and correct her twisted sense of justice, but who told the people who launched the night raid to designate her?

no way.

After resurrecting her, throw her into the Axis cult.

Surely that fanatical cult leader can teach her what wisdom and justice are... I sincerely hope she won't become even more twisted, in another sense.

Polus was chosen by Kobayashi.

The purpose was to make the other party witness the darkness of the empire, or rather, the darkness that had befallen them; the other party's gentleness should not be reserved for the corrupt empire.

"it is good--!"

Seryu waved energetically and shouted, "Let's do our best on patrol tonight!"

The hunters' work was very hard; in order to maintain order, they had to be divided into two patrol groups.

Kobayashi and Will are in a group

Seryu and Borus are in the same group.

Will stroked his chin and said, "Xiao Lin and I are from the east side of the capital, and you are from the west side, right?"

“That’s right.” Polus nodded.

"Then let's go."

"and many more."

Just as the four were about to set off, Esdeath called them back.

"You will switch patrol areas tonight. Will and Kobayashi will go to the west, and Seryu and Polus will go to the east."

"Yes, we understand..."

Although it was a bit strange why the patrol area was suddenly changed, they would naturally obey the order given by Esdeath.

on the street

Will stretched and said as he walked, "This street is really deserted."

"After all, it's nighttime."

Kobayashi casually agreed, while asking curiously, "Will, why are you so close to me? Do you have some strange fetish?"

The streets were deserted, but the two of them still stood side by side.

It's summer now, so Will certainly isn't cold, but he's still standing so close to me, it's hard not to have bad thoughts.

"Not at all!"

Will complained loudly, "Look, Tatsumi escaped last time, didn't he? If you escape again, Kobayashi, the captain will definitely kill me!"

"...What are you talking about? How could I possibly run away?"

Xiaolin couldn't understand his thought process.

He has acted alone a lot during this period. He could have run away anytime he wanted, so why wait until now?

Will, however, had a different opinion.

"Xiaolin, the captain has been getting closer and closer to you lately. With her terrifying desire for control and sadistic tendencies, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it and will want to run away."

"I told you you misunderstood. If you also want to get closer to me, I'll lend you the necklace."

"Please don't do that! It really will shorten your lifespan!"

Will's resistance to Esdeath reached its peak.

Poor kid, he's been tortured a lot lately. If this continues, he might develop gynophobia.

No, it should be called Esdeath phobia.

"Will, what do you think of the capital city right now...?"

"and many more!"

Will reached out to interrupt Kobayashi.

At the same time, he cautiously surveyed the surrounding houses, paused for a moment, and then said loudly, "Come out. You've been exposed. The malice you released just now was too obvious."

Those hiding in the shadows never expected him to be so perceptive.

She had told herself to stay calm and wait for the right moment, but after seeing Kobayashi, she couldn't suppress her anger and inadvertently let her true feelings slip out.

"Now that we've been discovered, there's no point in hiding it anymore."

A loud, boisterous voice came from the roof.

A black figure descended from the sky, and a golden-haired lion-eared girl appeared before them.

It's Leone.

"You are... one of the Night Raid members?!"

Will sensed the dangerous aura emanating from her and, realizing she was also a Teigu user, immediately guessed Leone's identity.

"Bingo! You got it right! Here's a reward for you!"

Leone was saying nonsensical things.

Before Will could even get into a fighting stance, a powerful bat strike came from the side, catching him off guard and hitting a home run that severely injured Will's abdomen.

"A sneak attack?!?!"

Will howled and transformed into a shooting star, soaring into the distant night sky.

"Will!!!"

Xiao Lin mimicked Er Kang's gesture, feigning concern.

Snapped!

The next second, he caught the straight punch coming straight at him.

"What a unique way to greet someone." Kobayashi smiled as he looked at the lion girl staring at him with her beast-like eyes. "Long time no see, Leone. Did you miss me?"

"Ah, I really want to beat you up right now!"

Leone grinned, revealing her little fangs.

It said some harsh words, but didn't seem fierce at all; it just acted like it was being affectionate with its long-lost owner.

"Alright, alright, enough with the small talk."

Kobayashi patted her fluffy hair and turned to look at the powerful minotaur beside her... no, the horned minotaur.

"Hello, I'm Xiaolin."

"I am Susanoo."

A brief greeting.

It must be said that Susanoo is almost identical to Ryuu in terms of his resemblance to humans, except for his slightly blank expression and lack of life, which confirms that he is indeed not human.

He also exudes a strong aura, no wonder he was able to hit a home run that sent Will flying hundreds of meters away.

The plan went smoothly.

Since only one person in my group and Will's group could deal with Will, I only sent Leone and Susanoo.

The group consisting of Polus and Seryu will be dealt with by the remaining members of Night Raid.

However, Kobayashi had already seen it using [farsightedness].

First, Chelsea, disguised as a homeless little girl in the dead of night, used Borus's gentleness to successfully assassinate him with a poisoned needle.

With only Seryu left, she was no match for the righteous mob attack, and this time justice did not side with Seryu.

Did it succeed...?

“Hey, Kobayashi!” Leone looked at him and suddenly said, “Why did you leave Night Raid? What kind of future do you see in your mind?”

"I can't say."

Kobayashi shook his head and only replied, "But everything I've done is to lead to a happy ending, and I assure you that."

"Who knows this?"
