Ward 39!
Also known as the Outer District.
Ayato looked around at the environnt, his expression sowhat somber.
"Ayato-nii, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. It's just that the situation is much worse than I imagined."
Ayato shook his head. "I can't imagine how those Cursed Children survive."
Although he knew the story from his past life...
Those brief scenes couldn't describe how harsh the environnt here was.
After all,
Those Cursed Children were still children!
Enju said wistfully, "There's nothing to be done. Most people hate Cursed Children."
Not long ago,
She had lived here too.
If she hadn't been discovered by the Initiator Monitor, she would probably still be here.
She looked around and said sadly, "It seems my forr companions have moved to a new hiding place."
"Don't worry. If you have the heart, you'll et again."
Ayato gave her a head pat. "Didn't I promise to save the Cursed Children?"
"Mm!"
Hearing this, Enju showed a bright smile, her eyes curving like crescents.
The events of this day felt like a dream.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Just then, footsteps sounded in the distance.
Saeko approached slowly with four Cursed Children.
"Master, all four children are accounted for."
"Mm, mission accomplished."
Stare...
Enju stared intently at Saeko's chest, her pupils growing wider and wider.
'Her quality was that good?'
'What did she eat growing up?'
She instinctively looked at herself and felt utterly dejected.
'Damn!'
'So this was why Ayato-nii said he wasn't interested in earlier.'
'I had completely lost.'
"And who is this little girl?"
"Aihara Enju, my new servant."
"Oh, I'm Busujima Saeko. Nice to et you, little sister."
Saeko smiled warmly and bent down to give her a hug.
Feeling the impact, Enju grew even more depressed.
'This little girl was thinking too much.'
Sensing so of Enju's thoughts, Saeko smiled.
Then, she briefly introduced the four Cursed Children to Ayato.
Ayato also told them about what happened after they parted.
"Master wants to help all the Cursed Children?"
Saeko thought for a mont. "That's a big project. It will probably take quite a while."
Although she hadn't been in this world long...
She had already learned many things.
For one, there were countless Cursed Children scattered all over the world.
"Don't worry. Ti isn't an issue."
Ayato smiled. "And I'm not going to handle all this troubleso stuff myself."
As his voice fell...
A magic circle flashed.
Elegant or mature figures appeared one after another.
"Who are these big sisters?"
"They are all Master's servants."
"Ah?"
Enju was stunned, then beca wary.
'All these people are enemies.'
She scanned her surroundings, her gaze drifting downwards, her eyelids twitching constantly.
'Oh god!'
'They all had such unfair figures?'
Enju suffered her second defeat.
'Damn!'
'Why do I keep losing?'
Enju was going crazy inside.
"Um..."
Kohina asked worriedly, "Enju seems off. Is she okay?"
Saeko smiled. "It's nothing. She's just too precocious."
"What do you an?"
"You'll understand when you're older."
Hearing their conversation, Enju said angrily, "This servant is not small! I can already stand on my own!"
"Really?"
Saeko smiled and straightened her back, her chest bouncing.
Thud.
Enju fell to her knees, defeated once more.
Kohina watched all this, confused.
'Why did it seem like Enju had suddenly lost all her color?'
"So this is the new world? It looks pretty desolate."
"It's not another post-apocalyptic world, is it?"
Utaha and the others looked around and quickly lost interest.
"Alright, we'll talk about other things later."
Ayato clapped his hands to get the won's attention. "First, let's discuss business..."
After explaining the situation, Ayato said, "Regarding Enju's request, does anyone have any suggestions?"
"Simple!"
Mitsuri said. "Use Master's Command Rings to take control of so human leaders. That's the usual thod."
"No, it won't be that easy."
Cornelia said. "This is a world where individual power trumps group power. So strong individuals won't obey."
Esdeath: "What's there to think about? Start a grand war. Wipe out anyone who doesn't comply."
Saeko: "That way, we can cut people down freely. Sounds good."
Kanae: "That probably won't work either. The Cursed Children in this world are all treated as weapons of war. If we start a war, they'll inevitably be caught in the crossfire."
"..." xN
For a mont, everyone fell silent.
After all...
They were won.
It would be hypocritical to say they didn't feel sympathy for the Cursed Children.
Enju said weakly, "If possible... could we use a gentler approach?"
dusa: "I have a suggestion. We could establish a settlent for Cursed Children, build up our reputation first. That way, I believe many Cursed Children won't oppose us."
"Ultimately, every Cursed Child has their own will."
Najenda: "This plan is feasible. We could even spread the word that we can remove the viral erosion from Cursed Children. That will definitely attract more of them."
Ayato smiled. "Excellent, my servants. Let's refine the plan."
Then,
A long discussion ensued.
Enju and Kohina were full of energy at first.
But later...
They grew drowsy.
After all, so topics were too advanced for them.
