Chapter 81: Resurrected from the Rubble
The beam of light widened."HEAVE!" Runa’s voice roared from above."PULL!" Ayaka commanded.CRUNCH.The massive slab of concrete that had been pinning my leg was ripped away. Not by a machine, but by sheer, hysterical strength.Dust swirled in the sudden influx of fresh air."Master!" Melody dove into the hole first. She was covered in soot, her maid uniform torn, but she didn't care. She grabbed me, checking my limbs with frantic hands. "Are you intact? Do you require hydration? Did the rocks touch your face?""I'm fine," I grunted, shielding my eyes from the floodlights. "Melody, help me stand."(I am not fine. My leg feels like a tenderized steak. But the cameras are watching.)"And the Princess?" Melody looked at the girl clinging to my chest.Lumi looked up. Her makeup was smudged. Her pink dress was ruined. But she was alive. And she was glaring at Melody."I'm fine," Lumi snapped. "And I don't need help."She tried to stand, but her knees buckled.I caught her. Again."Careful
Chapter 82: The Sixth Member
"Pink," Ayaka Saionji said, her voice dripping with S-Rank disdain. "You want to paint the west wing... neon pink?""It’s not pink," Hoshino Lumi corrected, snapping her fingers at a mover carrying a life-sized statue of herself. "It’s 'Electric Sakura'. And it helps my creative process."We were standing in the driveway of the Saionji Villa. Or rather, what used to be the driveway.Now, it was a parking lot for eighteen moving trucks."This is a fortress," Runa growled, poking a fluffy pink beanbag chair with her dagger. "Not a dollhouse. This... furniture... lacks honor. It offers no tactical advantage.""It offers comfort, you muscle-brain," Lumi shot back, adjusting her oversized sunglasses. "Something you wouldn't understand.""Muscle-brain?!" Runa’s aura flared violet. "I will sever your twin-tails!""Try it!" Lumi’s throat glowed silver. "I'll sing your eardrums into dust!""Silence!" Ayaka’s golden mana spiked. "This is my house! If you want to live here, you follow my aesthet
Chapter 83: The S-Rank Burden
The S-Rank badge was heavier than it looked.It was made of solid platinum, inlaid with a core of crystallized mana that hummed against my palm."This is not just a badge," the Association courier said, bowing so low his nose touched the gravel of the villa driveway. "It is a key to the kingdom."He handed me a thick black booklet."Your privileges, Sovereign Amagiri."I opened it.[Perk 1: Infinite Credit Limit.] (Backed by the National Treasury). [Perk 2: Diplomatic Immunity.] (You can't be arrested unless you commit treason). [Perk 3: Access to Restricted Zones.] (Area 51, The Vatican Archives, The Emperor's Kitchen).My hands trembled.(Infinite credit? Immunity? I can buy an island. I can jaywalk in front of a police station. I can finally pay off the strawberry debt.)"Acceptable," I said, suppressing the urge to kiss the booklet. "The nation recognizes true value.""Indeed," the courier nodded. "However..."He pulled out a second envelope. This one wasn't black. It was blood re
Chapter 84: Operation: Poseidon
The military briefing room smelled of stale coffee and panic.General Tanaka, a man with more medals than hair, slammed his fist onto the holographic map of Tokyo Bay."Nuclear option," he declared. "It is the only way. The Leviathan's hide is impervious to conventional mana rounds. We drop a localized tactical nuke, vaporize the bay, and pray the wind blows south."The other officers nodded grimly. Sae, standing in the corner in her police uniform, looked horrified."A nuke?" she whispered. "In the harbor? Millions will be irradiated.""Collateral damage," Tanaka spat. "Better radiation than digestion."He looked at me. I was sitting at the head of the table, spinning my new platinum S-Rank badge like a fidget spinner."Sovereign Amagiri," Tanaka said, his voice dripping with condescension. "Since you are the only S-Rank available, you will deliver the payload. Your... unique shielding should protect you."(My unique shielding is a lie. I will glow in the dark for eternity.)I stoppe
Chapter 85: Talking to the Beast
"Who wants to go for a swim?" I asked.My harem looked at me like I had lost my mind."Renji," Ayaka said, gripping the railing of the destroyer. "That is not a boat. That is a biological disposal unit. If we get close, it will digest us.""It won't," I said, adjusting my soaked tie. "It’s not hungry for meat. It’s hungry for mana."I turned back to the Leviathan. The massive head hovered over the deck, water cascading from its obsidian scales like waterfalls. Its red eye was fixed on me.(It’s waiting. It’s waiting to see if I’m food or a threat.)I needed to speak its language. Not Japanese. Not English.I needed the tongue of the deep.I opened the System Interface.[Skill Selected: Siren's Echo.] [Mode: Interspecies Communication.] [Cost: 500 DP per sentence.](Expensive. But cheaper than a nuke.)I inhaled. The air tasted of salt and impending death.I didn't open my mouth wide. I didn't shout. I let the vibration start in my chest, amplifying it through the Void until it resonat
Chapter 86: The Sabotage
"Brace for impact!"I dove for the deck plates.CRASH.The Leviathan’s tail slammed into the ocean just meters from the starboard hull. The JS Kaga was a 27,000-ton destroyer, but it was tossed like a bath toy.Metal screamed. Water sprayed over the deck like shrapnel.I slid across the wet steel, slamming into the base of the radar tower."Gah!" I gasped, tasting salt and blood."Master!" Runa was there instantly, grabbing my collar to keep me from sliding overboard. "The beast is frenzied! Your negotiation failed!""I didn't fail," I snarled, wiping water from my eyes. "I was sabotaged."I looked toward the shore. Smoke trailed from a mobile missile battery parked on the dock. It wasn't part of the main formation. It was isolated."Sae!" I shouted into my comms. "Who fired that shot?!""It wasn't the General!" Sae’s voice came back, thick with panic. "The firing code was overridden locally. It's a rogue unit! The Syndicate has infiltrators in the blockade!"(Of course they do. Why f
Chapter 87: The Mirror Reflection
The beam fired.A column of concentrated red plasma, thick enough to vaporize a skyscraper, roared across the water. The heat evaporated the rain instantly, creating a tunnel of steam."Renji!" Ayaka screamed, her golden shield crumbling before the energy even touched it.I stood on the deck.I had the [Grand Illusion Projector] in my left hand. But an illusion couldn't stop physics. If I projected a wall, the beam would just burn through the hologram and then through me.(I bought the wrong item. I wasted 50,000 points on a flashlight.)The light was blinding. The sound was deafening.I had one second.My hand dove into my pocket. Not for the System Shop. But for the piece of trash I had picked up in the Sea of Nothingness.The shard of the mirror I had smashed in the Narcissist's Tomb.[Item: Shard of Narcissus (S-Rank Artifact).] [Effect: Reflects 'Truth'. Can deflect one attack by asserting a counter-reality.] [Durability: 1/1.]I didn't know if it would work on a laser beam. But
Chapter 88: The Victory Parade
"Smile," Ayaka whispered, nudging my ribs with her elbow. "You look like you're attending a funeral.""I am," I muttered, forcing the corners of my mouth up into a plastic grin. "The funeral of my inventory."I was standing in the back of an open-top parade vehicle (a militarized jeep painted gold, courtesy of the Saionji Group). Confetti rained down from the skyscrapers of Tokyo like snow."RENJI! RENJI! RENJI!"The chant was deafening. Millions of people lined the streets. They weren't just cheering; they were worshipping.They saw the man who slapped a beam cannon. They saw the Saint who tamed the Leviathan.They didn't see the man who was currently holding his chest because the Mana Void was throbbing like a fresh bruise.(It hurts. It hurts so much. The adrenaline is gone, and now there is just... emptiness.)I waved."Thank you," I mouthed to a group of crying high school girls holding a sign that read [STEP ON ME, SOVEREIGN].(I don't want to step on you. I want to step into a
Chapter 89: Runa's Origin
The confetti had been swept away. The cheers had faded.Back at the Saionji Villa, the mood was supposed to be celebratory. We had defeated a Leviathan. We had saved the city. We were S-Rank.But the villa was quiet. Too quiet."Where is Runa?" I asked, looking around the living room.Ayaka was checking her stocks. Melody was eating a celebratory fish. Sae was filing paperwork. Lumi was asleep on the couch.But my disciple—the one who usually shadowed me like a lost puppy—was missing."She went to the dojo," Melody said, chewing on a tuna tail. "She smelled... fear.""Fear?" I frowned.Runa didn't do fear. She did aggression and loyalty.I walked to the garden dojo.The sliding doors were open. Inside, Runa was kneeling in the center of the mats. She wasn't meditating. She was shaking.In front of her lay a piece of paper. It wasn't an email or a text. It was a scroll, sealed with black wax and a crest I didn't recognize: A cherry blossom being cut by a blade."Runa?" I stepped inside
Chapter 90: The Gathering Storm
"We're going on a field trip," I had said.Looking at the scene in the driveway of the Saionji Villa, it looked less like a field trip and more like a military invasion disguised as a fashion show.Ayaka stood by a massive, armored transport truck (painted gold, naturally). She was checking a manifest on her tablet."I’ve arranged a private train from Tokyo Station," she announced. "The 'Imperial Line'. It’s bulletproof, bombproof, and has a spa car.""A spa car?" Runa scowled, tightening the straps on her duffel bag. "We march to war, Heiress. Not to a vacation.""War requires morale," Ayaka countered. "And my morale requires hot stones and cucumber water."Lumi dragged a suitcase the size of a refrigerator toward the truck."I packed my stage outfits!" she chirped. "The mountains are so drab. They need a splash of neon pink.""You are going to attract snipers," Sae sighed, loading a crate of police-issue ammunition."I am the sniper magnet," Lumi winked. "That's my job, right? Distr
