I just hope to live a leisurely life in the world of anime.

Fortunately, with the help and relief from Anshu, the number of times the cursed children have been harmed by others has decreased, although it cannot be completely eliminated.

This has led to ordinary citizens not liking Sima Heavy Industries, but so what? Anyway, Sima Heavy Industries has a monopoly in the Tokyo area.

"Forget about that, Miori-chan, you're getting bolder and bolder, going around telling everyone I'm your husband."

Sima Weizhi removed An Shu's hand from her face, hugged him, and rubbed against him. "Brother An Shu, are you trying to renege on your promise? You clearly... you..." She blushed again as she spoke.

An Shu hugged Sima Weizhi and nuzzled her head, saying, "Weizhi-chan, what you said is very misleading!"

“Hey… Brother Anshu… Tong-chan went to the inner room to play with Yan-zhu, should we…” Sima Weizhi’s face grew redder and redder as she tugged at her collar, feeling like she was about to catch a fever.

"No way, I'm against premarital sex!" An Shu forced herself to find an excuse.

I really wanted to sleep with this girl...

Why refuse? Because at that moment, An Shu shivered. He sensed the malice of a mysterious will. With his keen intuition, he felt that he was being targeted. The rules told him that the one targeting him seemed to be a divine beast called the River Crab!

"Then... let's get married next year, okay?" In Japanese law, girls who are 16 years old can get married.

An Shu was stunned when he saw Sima Weizhi's face practically steaming. He felt that the girl's malice had vanished when she said those words!

He snapped out of his daze, playfully pinched her nose, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'm really looking forward to the moment when Miori-chan puts on her wedding dress."

"Um……"

Her face was so red that she couldn't speak, but An Shu patted her head and said, "Let's go to Mu Geng's company. I haven't been there since I joined the company. If we go now, we might be able to get a free lunch."

"Hmm... then Brother Anshu, carry me..." Sima Weizhi pouted and said coquettishly.

"Sigh...then you can go hungry at home." An Shu sighed, patted her head, and turned to leave without hesitation.

"Ugh, Brother Anshu is so annoying!" Sima Weizhi quickly followed, puffing out her aggrieved baby face.

"Ha ha--"

……

Tiantong Civil Security Company.

"Rentaro-nii, what did you inject Enju-chan with?" An Tong tilted her head, looking at the two people in front of her with some confusion.

"An inhibitor? Has Hitomi never had one?" Kisara Tendo replied with a smile from the side.

After spending a few days together, the group learned that although the little girl's eyes were damaged, she seemed to still be able to see things. However, they didn't think much of it, assuming it was some kind of ability granted by Gastrea or some kind of advanced technology, since Rentaro had experienced it firsthand.

"Hitomi-chan doesn't need the injection, even though she can no longer fight." The door opened, and An Shu's gentle voice came in.

"Onii-chan—" The little girl seemed excited and jumped into An Shu's arms as soon as he entered.

Can't fight anymore?

"Could it be that Sima Heavy Industries has already found a way to solve the gastrulation factor problem?" Tendo Kisei asked with some doubt, looking at Sima Miori who was closing the door.

"I suppose so..." Sima Weizhi said with a smile. This was not the result of any research, but the work of her own brother Anshu. Thinking of Anshu who had been coughing for almost a day and couldn't stop, she felt a little sorry for him.

The little girl pressed herself tightly against his chest and rubbed against him twice.

Tendo Moku didn't ask any further questions; it must be someone else's trade secret.

"Are you here to take Hitomi home?" Rentaro asked, putting away the syringe box.

Meanwhile, Lan Yuan Yanzhu looked up at An Tong with a hint of reluctance, appearing just like a good friend.

"No, we're here to freeload a meal," An Shu said with a smile, shaking her head.

Huh?

"We don't have much to offer you besides bean sprouts," Rentaro said, rolling his dead fish eyes again.

"It's alright, here you go! Go buy some groceries, the extra is a tip. Do a good job, I believe in you, young man!"

An Shu walked to the dining table, handed over a wad of cash he had taken out of his pocket, and unceremoniously pulled out a chair and sat down with An Tong in his arms. Sima Weizhi followed behind him.

Tendo Kisara, standing nearby, had his eyes shining. He snatched the money from Rentaro's hand, put half of it in his own pocket, and gave the other half back to him: "This should be enough. How about I keep the rest for Rima-kun?"

Tendo Kisara's eyes narrowed into slits, her mood extremely pleasant. This girl with long, straight black hair was practically terrified of being poor.

"No problem!" Without the slightest hesitation.

Rentaro knew that although Tendoki was asking questions, if he refused, he would be cut in two by the Snow Shadow Blade in her hand in no time.

I glanced at An Shu and muttered to myself, "He's more handsome than me, richer, and has women throwing themselves at him. It's true what they say, being a 'real-life' person is just too much."

As he reached the entrance, he asked again, "Will An Shujun be cooking later?" After all, even his cooking was better than his.

"Huh? In your house, guests are always asked to cook for you?" An Shu pinched the little girl's face in his arms with both hands, rested his head on the table, and replied without thinking.

So, in a bad mood, Rentaro took Aihara Enju out.

……

"I'm starting to eat—"

"Hmm, Mr. Rijian's cooking is pretty good too!" An Shu exclaimed after taking a bite of her food.

“I still think An Shu-jun’s cooking is better.” The taste of that lunch is still unforgettable for Tendo Mu, so she spoke up in rebuttal.

"Hey, Kisara-nee, you can't be so mean to me!" Rentaro complained.

"Does Mr. Rima think his cooking is better than everyone else's?"

"No, not at all..." Rentaro seemed a little aggrieved.

"Hahaha—" The group seemed to be having a great time.

At the dining table, Lan Yuan Yanzhu held her chopsticks, staring blankly at the group of people laughing loudly. Infected by the atmosphere, she couldn't help but smile. If only things could stay like this forever!

###Chapter Fifteen: The Turn of Fate###

(Mid-April, 2031, Tokyo)

……

"Dad, what's wrong? Did you run into the police?" In a dark alley, a blue-haired girl carrying two small katanas asked while holding her phone.

"No, it's nothing..."

"Beep beep—" The dial tone signaled the end of the call.

The silence around them allowed An Shu and An Tong to hear the conversation on their phones, which seemed to include sounds of fighting and gunfire.

"Onii-chan, what is she doing?" An Tong asked in a low voice to An Shu, who was also pressed against the corner of the wall with half her head peeking out.

They had come out to have some fun, but then they saw a cursed child sneaking into an alley, so the two curious people followed him.

"I don't know..." An Shu squinted, somewhat puzzled, feeling that the blue-haired loli looked familiar.

Looking at the small katana behind the other person, I took a bite of the candy. Huh? It looks like that yandere loli!

The story has begun? No wonder I couldn't find Rentaro this morning!

Wait, that's not right! In the original story, it was because the Holy Emperor was about to promulgate the "Gastrea Law" that Kikunojo Tendo hired Hiruko Kagetane to steal the Seven Stars' legacy and summon Scorpio to attack Tokyo.

However, given his intrusion, the current Holy Emperor has no intention of issuing any "New Laws for Gastrea," since the cursed children here, apart from the Initiators, are almost extinct.

Why did I run into this yandere loli again? Isn't it because of the Seven Stars' legacy?

Anshu has always had doubts about the original work. How could Kikunojo Tendo, who so deeply revered the Holy Emperor, allow the Gastrea of ​​Stage V to attack Tokyo? Was he confident he could protect Tokyo?

With that railgun that can only fire one shot?

Unless... Summoning Phase V was just Hiruko Kagetane's own idea?!

He rolled his eyes and chuckled, teasing her a bit!

"Hey, Hitomi-chan, hold me tight!" He hugged An Tong, and before the silver-haired loli could react, he shouted, "Are there any police officers nearby? Assemble quickly! The wanted criminal Hiruko Kagetane, whose original IP address is ranked 134, has been seriously injured up ahead! Everyone, come with me!"

In an instant, he flashed onto the roof and disappeared from the spot.

Hiruko Kohina was startled by the sudden sound and almost dropped her phone.

She was taken aback, then realized that she had been wondering why her father had hung up the phone—was he injured?!

Without time to think, she put away her phone and hurriedly headed to her destination.

An Shu, who had fooled the little girl, couldn't help but laugh.

His smile froze on his face.

Holy crap! Wait a minute, if it really is because of the Seven Stars Legacy incident, and this yandere loli passes away, then Rentaro will be doomed, right?

He patted his head, wondering why he was becoming more and more lazy. He decided to go and see where Rentaro was. Helpless, he could only pick up An Tong and chase after the yandere loli.

"Thump thump—" Before long, a loud sound came from ahead, like the sound of a huge thing stepping on the ground.

"Bang—thump—" Just then, Hiruko Kohina, who was running by, was knocked to the ground by the unidentified object that suddenly flew out.

"Ouch—it's all that idiot Rentaro's fault!" The unidentified object touched its head, shook off the white slime on its body, and revealed itself to be a little girl!

"Huh? Who are you?"

……

On the rooftop, An Tong pointed to the unidentified object at An Shu, who was holding her, and said, "It's Enju-chan! What's she doing here? And what about the Gastrea? Where's Rentaro-nii?"

……

Hiruko Kohina drew her small katana from her back, suppressing the urge to slash at it. No, the most important thing now was to find her father! Damn it! She stared at the giant jumping spider in front of her.

Without answering Aihara Enju's words, her eyes became even redder as she ran quickly over. I couldn't see the sword's movement clearly, only the leaping light of the blade.

In the blink of an eye, with only a moment's contact, the little girl and the monster were separated.

Before it could react, the Gastrea tried to turn around, but as soon as it moved, its body split apart and broke into several pieces!

"Wow, amazing—" Aihara Enju looked at the yandere loli, clearly shocked.

At that moment, Rentaro and Tadajima Shigenori arrived at the corner.

Seeing the dismembered body parts scattered on the ground, the two who had just arrived were shocked. Rentaro saw Aihara Enju beside him and called out, "Are you alright, Enju?"

"Oh, I'm fine." Aihara Enju ran towards Rentaro.

"What's going on?" Tadajima Shigenori looked at the blue-haired loli standing in front of the shattered corpse, her eyes red and her katana still dripping blood.
