Chapter 544 Great General [Extreme Cold]
“Damn!”
The sudden turn of events made the girl’s relaxed body tense up instantly. Although Kazumi didn’t recognize the person who barged in, both their expression and tone proved that they weren’t here to have a friendly chat with Kazumi and the others.
In other words, they were here to cause trouble.
Kazumi turned to look at Fukada Akihiko, the person involved. Although this white-haired young boy named “Miyou” claimed to be looking for her, it seemed like he was challenging Fukada Akihiko.
Moreover, with battles of their caliber, it was better for a “small fry” like herself to hide.
This was the thought of a pitiful girl who was often caught in the crossfire of high-level combat.
“Hahaha, you guys chat, you guys chat.”
Hearty laughter interrupted the girl’s series of battle states and thoughts. She looked at Fukada Akihiko with disbelief. Kazumi saw that Fukada Akihiko was smiling calmly, and he even nodded quite friendly to the white-haired young boy. Then, he gave Kazumi a reassuring look and walked out of the room.
“??????????”
When did Fukada Akihiko’s temper get so good? He was so obediently following someone who clearly challenged him and walked out like that? Isn’t this giving a reassuring look instead of fighting directly? What does that mean?? Is it really reassuring for your cute little maid to be alone with such a strange and dangerous person??
A series of question marks appeared above Kazumi’s head, and her jet-black eyes, rarely, showed a hint of confusion. She stared fixedly at Fukada Akihiko, who was walking out.
Fukada Akihiko, who had successfully teased his little maid, showed a hint of paternal smile on his face, his lips even curling up a bit. Finally, he spoke at the right moment.
“It’s alright, Kazumi. He talks like that because of his ability issues. It’s just normal communication. He’s here to thank you.”
With Fukada Akihiko’s parting words, the clean and crisp sound of the door closing gradually faded in the room, leaving only the girl who was holding her forehead in helplessness and the weak young boy standing rigidly in front of the girl.
“Uh… Hello, I, I, um, hello. I, how should I address you, and what do you need from me?”
Although she was sold out by her own uncle, Kazumi quickly recovered. She stood up and politely addressed the girl beside her, who she couldn’t quite figure out the identity of. She asked the white-haired young boy, who looked a little younger than herself, “Hello, how should I address you, and what business do you have with me?”
“One condition.”
The temperature in the room seemed to drop sharply with his opening remark. His cold tone was no less than Kazumi’s, as if the few words he spoke were frozen, sending a chill down one’s spine.
“Uh, what condition?”
Kazumi subconsciously retorted with a hint of ill intent.
The girl’s retort actually made the white-haired young boy pause for a few seconds. It seemed like he was seriously thinking about it, and then he spoke again.
“One condition, or your life.”
“??????????”
I don’t understand even more now. Riddlers, get lost!
Another string of question mark characters appeared above Kazumi’s head. What kind of riddler’s speech was this? And the latter half of the sentence sounded even more dangerous. If Kazumi didn’t know that Fukada Akihiko wouldn’t harm her, she would have already crawled into a coffin and run away. What do you mean, “I trust my life”? It sounds like he’s going to take someone’s life the next second.
“Um, about that, before I choose, can you tell me why?”
Kazumi composed her emotions and tried to communicate with him. After all, it was within Kazumi’s expectations for the villainous organization of Fukada Akihiko, who acted like a lunatic, to speak human language. The girl chose to believe Fukada Akihiko’s guidance, as he was her uncle, and he wouldn’t harm her.
“If you kill me… I should thank you…”
GOSI
…
“If you kill me, I should thank you.”
“So how does that relate to my life even more?”
Kazumi was stunned. Even though she understood each sentence while talking, she still didn’t know what the other person was saying.
“You haven’t said what will happen if I kill you yet. You should be standing here talking to me. Who told you that the dead should thank the living? Is it possible that… cough cough, someone would beg to be killed?”
[Wrong, wait! Begging to be killed?]
A sudden inspiration flashed through the girl’s mind. She seemed to recall the previous experience. The bone-chilling cold and the extreme cold before began to correspond little by little. The girl instantly remembered that emaciated man lying on the ground, struggling and begging her to kill him.
“Could you be the one from before…”
“But this…”
The girl’s jet-black eyes widened subconsciously, but the problem was also wrong. Although their demeanor was quite similar, the emaciated man back then, despite being thin, could clearly show signs of a growing body and age. He didn’t match the shota boy in front of her, who was not much taller than herself.
So, was the true form of that GREAT GENERAL [EXTREME COLD] something like that? Imagining that he possessed ice-element abilities and strange traits, this time he came for me, specifically to thank me?
Kazumi’s mind was racing. She had deduced the current situation in her mind in an instant. Although the other party didn’t speak human language, this outcome reassured Kazumi. Anyway, as long as he wasn’t here to cause trouble for her, she really didn’t want to be inexplicably beaten by a lunatic again, without any reward, and end up in a mess.
“Well, it’s said that my ability can be repaired and resurrected after being killed. If you hadn’t acted then, I might have lost more of my abilities.”
“…”
“What are you saying so calmly?! Is this a secret that can be revealed so calmly? I feel like I’m going to be killed in the next second!”
If possible, Kazumi really wanted to go back to the previous second and cover her ears, not wanting to listen. Otherwise, you might as well go back to being a riddler. The girl really didn’t dare to listen to this kind of trump card information!
But no matter what, this explosive information confirmed the other party’s identity this time. It was indeed the dangerous mission target that the girl had almost destroyed, the strong reinforcement whose head she had crushed and who had erupted with terrifying power.
It could be said that if she hadn’t found an opportunity to kill him at the last moment, with the situation of the Security Bureau fighting three back then, she might not have been able to get out. She estimated that the best outcome would have been to hide on the ground.
A cold aura emanated again. However, as if there had been a premonition, the boy’s words gradually became more fluent and richer. Although his voice was still as sharp and biting as before, it also began to carry a trace of human warmth.
A hand stretched out and stopped in front of the girl.
“Executive… no, Great General [Extreme Cold], name: Muramasa Hyōshō.”
