I don't want to be an elf!

"So...huh?"

Elder Matsuzaki opened his eyes slightly.

He took off his reading glasses and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then wipe it off with your clothes and put it back on.

Squinting his eyes, he carefully looked at Nia Honjo's appearance.

"Miss Honjo, excuse me for being impolite, but I still have a question that I want to get answered no matter what."

"Well, I'm about your age, in my 40s."

Elder Matsuzaki gasped: "This world is really full of surprises."

"Haha, but my heart will always be a 17-year-old girl."

"That's good, that's good." Elder Matsuzaki couldn't help laughing, "Youth is the best capital, only young people can make changes."

"However, I'm ashamed to say that drawing manga in this world doesn't make much money." Honjo Niya shrugged, "Aside from being a manga artist and a nun, I also work part-time as a policeman. This shelter is where I worked as a policeman." The bounty earned by completing the commission."

"If this is the case, Miss Bentiao must be a very powerful policeman."

"No, no, no, it can't be called great, at most it knows a little more than others."

Coughing twice to get the topic back on track, Nia Honjo asked: "Then, Elder Matsuzaki, are you willing to lead the cursed children here?"

This is the focus of today's meeting with Elder Matsuzaki.

Although he knew about the existence of Honjo Niya in this month under the introduction of Shiraishi Hina, but it is impossible to easily trust others just because of a child's point of view.

What's more, it's not just about him, it's about the cursed child under his care.

Therefore, Elder Matsuzaki must take it seriously.

This is also the reason why he came to meet Bentiao Erya today.

One is to see the quality of this shelter, and the other is to see the character of Nia Bentiao.

If Honjo Nia's performance satisfied him, Elder Matsuzaki would agree to her request.

At least, she thought so.

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

However, in the face of Niya's question, Elder Matsuzaki showed a puzzled look: "Don't tell me, do you think I will refuse?"

"After all, this is a big deal about you and all the cursed children under your care." Benjo Niya said, "I don't want you to think that this shelter is my personal establishment for show or something .”

"Ah, Ms. Benjo, you are too worried." Elder Matsuzaki shook his head and said, "Even if it's a show, who in this society would appreciate it?"

"..." Erya was at a loss for words on this article.

She did fall into a logical misunderstanding.

In this world, the status of a cursed child is lower than that of an animal. Even if a lot of money and energy are spent protecting the cursed child, it will not do any good.

You might even be hostile to someone for it.

"So, Ms. Benjo, after knowing that someone built a shelter for cursed children on this land, I have already decided to bring my children to join here. Rather, if you want to refuse , I still come to beg you."

"Where is the word, it is too serious."

"Your investment in this shelter is far beyond my imagination, because at first I only thought that even if a well-meaning person builds a shelter, it can only take care of twenty or thirty children at most. Unexpectedly, this shelter It's big enough to house cursed children from all over Tokyo."

"Is it such an exaggeration?"

"Miss Benjo, in fact, there are not many cursed children wandering around, because those with a little ability were taken away by the international initiator supervision agency, and most of the rest died because of the harsh environment." Elder Matsuzaki regretted Said, "In the whole of Tokyo, the number of stray cursed children will never exceed 100."

Harsh environment.

Nia Honjo knew that it was Elder Matsuzaki's gentleness to use this word to describe the living environment of the cursed children.

She personally rescued Shiraishi Hina from the hands of the police, so she naturally knows how much the so-called harsh environment actually includes.

"But from now on, it will get better, won't it?" Honjo Niya asked optimistically, taking a deep breath.

"Yes, yes, it will get better, for sure." Elder Matsuzaki also showed a comfortable smile.

"Well, now let's go and bring the cursed children here."

"No, don't bother."

"why?"

"Because they have come."

Following Elder Matsuzaki's gaze, a group of girls carrying large and small bags were walking towards here.

Their spirits did not look good, their skin was withered and yellow, and their bodies were covered with dust.

But when he saw Elder Matsuzaki and the shelter, his eyes lit up.

"Hey-----!" A girl with twin ponytails jumped up, "Sister Erya! We are here!"

"I'm exhausted, can't you hire a truck? I can pay for it." The girl in sailor suit dragged two suitcases panting.

"Didn't you take the initiative to help? Don't complain." The boy in uniform pouted, "Give me the bag on your back, I can still take one."

"Thanks to Yanzhu and her friends, I can rest assured to hand over the children to them, and come here to talk to you alone." Elder Matsuzaki asked with a smile, "They are also your friends, right?"

"Hmph... friend..."

Bentiao Erya was stunned for a while, thought about it carefully, and then smiled.

"I hope so."

Chapter 33 Tendo Kikunojo's Killing Intent

Meanwhile, Holy House.

The supreme ruler of Tokyo is always busy.

But today's Holy Son of Heaven decided to give himself a day off.

On the desk, several volumes of comic books were neatly arranged.

The volume in the hands of the Holy Emperor is the last volume.

On the cover, there is a man with silver hair holding double guns and a girl with a distorted body wielding a giant sword.

"Silver Bullets"

This is the name of the comic.

No one would have thought that the majestic emperor would be interested in juvenile comics.

Even the Son of Heaven himself didn't think of it.

In the beginning, it was only for the purpose of investigating Nia Honjo that people bought her works, hoping to gain some knowledge about her.

However, while reading, Sheng Tianzi forgot his original intention and was immersed in the tension of the picture and the depth of the plot.

"Lord Holy Son of Heaven."

At this time, Tendo Kikunojo's voice came from outside.

"Please come in."

Sheng Tianzi put down the comic book in his hand, but did not hide it.

Tendo Kikunojo walked in, and the first thing he saw was the comic book on the table.

He frowned, apparently disliking the Holy Son of Heaven for wasting his time on such things.

However, at this moment, he had more urgent things to discuss and could not care about other things.

"Lord Shengtianzi, why did you allow that woman named Benjo Niya to establish a shelter for cursed children in the outlying area?"

"The procedures are complete, the channels are formal, and it is reasonable and legal. Do I have a reason to refuse?"

"At least you should find an excuse to delay her application." Tendo Kikunojo said seriously, "Before the investigation of her is over, none of us know what the purpose of her establishment of the shelter is, and whether it will affect Tokyo. area is threatened."

During this month, the investigation of Bentiao Erya by the Son of Heaven has continued.

Honjo Niya, female, 45 years old, cartoonist, the work is the best-selling work "Silver Bullet" before the catastrophe......

Everything is traceable intelligence, nothing weird.

If there is anything strange to say, then only this information is too normal.

However, Sheng Tianzi witnessed the ability displayed by Bentiao Erya with his own eyes. Whether it was the nun's costume that appeared out of thin air and could change shape at will, or the book that could peek into the heart, it all showed her extraordinaryness.

How could such a person be as ordinary as the intelligence said.

However, no matter how much Shengtianzi continued to investigate, apart from the basic information, he could no longer find anything about Honjo Niya.

"That's why I decided to use other methods to try to understand Bentiao Niya." Sheng Tianzi raised the comic book in his hand, "People say that the essence of writers can be seen clearly through their works. Since the investigation cannot continue, I think reading her comics would be a way to do that too."

"If Lord Shengtian expects to find the essence of Nia Bentiao in this manga, I think it is futile."

"Oh? Why did Your Excellency Tiantong say such a thing?"

"Because the old man has already seen it."

To put it simply, "Silver Bullet" tells the story of a teenager whose parents were killed by a demon and who grew up to become a demon hunter, living among humans, demons, and half-demons.

However, in connection with reality, this magical comic seems to be a metaphor for reality.

Demons and gastral creatures, half-demon and cursed children, witchers and policemen...

Before the cataclysm, this was the best-selling shonen manga.

After the cataclysm, the situation described in the comics turned out to be the same as reality.

For example, in the world depicted in the book, a world destroyed by demons and human beings about to perish, the profession of a demon hunter was born, and at the same time, a child born between demons and humans was born. Species aversion.

This looks exactly like what the world is facing.

The only difference from reality is that the protagonist in the comics does not hold the slightest bit of hostility towards the half-demon even though his parents were killed by the demon.

Instead, they stand up when other humans bully them.

"The protagonist of this manga is completely divorced from reality, serving the plot, without the slightest soul." Tendo Kikunojo said coldly, "My parents were killed by demons, but I don't hate half-hearted people who have the blood of demons." Devils, even want to help them? It's ridiculous and ridiculous, the old man thinks that this work is just a product of drawing for profit, and has no value."

"Your Excellency Tiantong's understanding, I already know." Sheng Tianzi nodded, "Although I have a different opinion, I don't think Your Excellency Tiantong came to ask me to share my impressions, so let's get straight to the point."

"It's exactly what I want." Tendo Kikunojo said, "This time, the old man came here to hope that you can dismantle that shelter."

"As I said just now, Miss Bentiao's shelter is a legal building. Even if she herself is suspected, this is not a reason for us to break the law."

"..."

Tendo Kikunojo did not continue to say anything, but fell silent.

He knew that the Son of Heaven was always firm when discussing matters involving the cursed child.

And what this Bentiao Erya did was beneficial to the cursed child. In this case, Sheng Tianzi's position must be on the same front as her.

Today, the reason why he still came to visit Sheng Tianzi, knowing that Sheng Tianzi would not agree to his request, was not to ask her to demolish the shelter in the outer area.

He just wanted to test it a little bit.

The speed at which that shelter was built was so fast that he had to suspect that someone in the government might be helping Bentiao Erya.

Considering that she and the Holy Emperor had met a month ago, Tendo Kikunochō became suspicious of the master she served.

Seeing the resolute look on Sheng Tianzi's face, he stroked his long beard and already got the answer in his heart.

Apparently, she must have had a hand in building the shelter.

"Honjo Niya... This guy may have other purposes for contacting the Holy Emperor." Tendo Kikunochei thought to himself, "Although establishing a shelter will have a small impact on public opinion, who knows what she will do next. .”

Regarding the implementation of the Gastrea Organism Protection Law, the Holy Emperor almost fought against the entire government alone.

Under the manipulation of public opinion by Tendo Kikunojo, even public opinion has gradually become one-sided.

If he proceeded according to his plan, using the relics of the Seven Stars to summon the zodiac gastroenterus and arouse the fear of Tokyo citizens towards the original creatures, then the implementation of the law on the protection of the original creatures would be aborted.

However, this woman named Nia Benjo destroyed his plan and retrieved Qixing's relic.

Even, in cooperation with the Holy Son of Heaven, a shelter was built in the outer area.

For Tendo Kikunojo, this is not a good sign.

Tendo Kikunojo let out a cold snort in his heart, he already had a countermeasure.
