Author’s Note:
With the resumption of the updates from tomorrow onwards, I'm going to insert an idle story between the end of chapter 4 and the beginning of chapter 5. Please forgive me if it's a bit messy.
July, Year 2X70…… Bright becomes the number one of the Kuroyume Numbers.
After that, he begins to dive into the city day and night, bringing the bad guys to justice.
October, Year 2X70…… Responding to a letter from Hiro, he meets Fuuka and Hiro as Kouki and renews his resolve.
December, Year 2X70…… The activities of Kuroyume becomes more active. Many members start to appear on the stage but at the same time, Skull, Joker, and other members who do not agree with the new direction left Kuroyume.
Bright is also gradually shifting from being an executor of villains to being a protector of people from disasters, robberies, etc.
January, Year 2X71…… Bright, Evil, and Taser form a simple party and since then, they have been working together a lot.
March, Year 2X71…… Kuroyume falls into financial difficulties. This is due to the investment in strategies to improve their image by changing direction and the decrease in income from the underworld.
May, Year 2X71…… Gradually, Kuroyume's strategy to improve its image start to penetrate the public mind and Bright goes from being an object of fear to establishing a position as a poetic dark hero.
August, Year 2X71…… A large-scale terrorist attack by the filths breaks out in the city centre. However, Kuroyume intervened in this crisis and suppressed it, leading to the rise in the reputation of Kuroyume. On the other hand, NDF which was late to the party lost its reputation.
Bright, who was the most active in this battle, was treated the man of justice.
September, Year 2X71…… Kuroyume is gaining social status and Bright is also being fully promoted as the face of the organization. He becomes the person of the moment.
……However, he is beginning to feel uncomfortable with the gap between his own image of himself as a person who mercilessly avenges evil for the sake of his goal and the public's image of Bright. At the very least, he knew that he is not on the side of justice.
That's what he believes but he has already stopped worrying about that.
He will do what he can to achieve his goal. The dream of Kuroyume that Kiryu talked about has also become a big dream for Kouki unknowingly and he has come to believe that doing what he could to achieve it is the meaning of his existence…….
--Central Area, Hotel Rich Carlson, VIP Room
“……Stop! A, Anyone please help!”
“Oh, Shut up~. All you have to do is shut up and give us the money!”
Six members of the filth organization Dog Dog occupied the VIP room of a luxury hotel.
Tokuda, the chairman and founder of Daito Trading Co. was being threatened by the leader of Dog Dog. He is a big shot in the financial world and he was being robbed by a mid-sized filth organization.
“I, I understand! I'll pay you! How much do you want!?”
“Let’s see. I'd say about 200 million to fund our activities for the time being, what do you think?”
“200 million? ……I understand, I'll have them ready for you right away!”
“Oh! You're a very generous man, Mr. Chairman! To think you will instantly say ok to 200 million dollars!”[1]
“Dollars!? You have to be joking! That kind of amount…… GAHARGH!?”
The leader's muscular arms strangled Tokuda's neck.
“If you're a man, you can't go back on a decision once you've made it, right~? Mr. Chairman?”
“I…… I understand, So…… Let me go……”
That's when the doorbell to the room rang.
“……Hey.”
The leader urged his minions to check. The servant looked out the door scope and saw a beautiful woman in a revealing dress standing there!
“Leader, it’s a woman. She's probably a call girl but she's really pretty!”
“Hahahah, chairman~, you are into that kind of thing as well huh~!”
“I, I……”
“Well whatever. I can't afford to be playing with girls right now. Send her away.”
Then, Dog Dog's number two looked out the door scope and said.
“Hoh…… This one's a real gem. Leader, can I have this woman?”
“……Tsk, you fucker, can't you do something about your womanizing attitude? Do what you want, but do it outside.”
“Roger~. Well, then I’m off.”
As Number Two opened the door and walked out of the room, he felt a slight breeze, but he didn't really care.
“Miss, there’s a little change of plans....... Shall we have some fun in the other room?”
The woman...... a beautiful woman with blonde hair and a dress open at the chest, looked at number two and smiled.
“No…… it’s according to plan?”
“Eh? AGARH!?”
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning stroke Number 2 above his head, and he was knocked unconscious…….
“As according to plan, your personal reaper has successfully infiltrated the room.”
Inside the room, the leader was still threatening Tokuda.
“Now, decide quickly. Give me 200 billion yen or would you rather die right here?”
“I…… I understand, But I can't prepare 200 billion yen right away. I'll come up with 300 million yen for now, and the rest later……”
“Don't fuck with me, old man! We're going to be the strongest filths organization in Japan! We need the funds to do it! AHH!?”
After Kuroyume's revolution, the public's view of the filths was certainly changing, but the situation was not so for the Dog Dog.
For them, the activities of Kuroyume were a hindrance to their originally free and unrestricted lives.
“Kuroyume has also lost a lot of members, and some of them have joined us. Now is our chance! We're going to replace Kuroyume and become the deadliest filths organization in Japan!”
As he said, the leader of Dog Dog was a very capable man. Perhaps that was exactly why they didn't realize that their idea was too reckless. That's right, they didn't even realize that there was a reaper threatening them right here and now.
“……Hmm? ……Wh, What?”
At this point, the leader noticed something strange. All the members except himself had disappeared.
“Hey……you guys, where did you go?”
He immediately looked around. He didn't think it was possible but the thought that it was an enemy attack crossed his mind.
Then, out of the empty space in front of him, he heard only voices...
“Now…… drown in your sin and sleep……”
“Huh? ……GAh……”
The next moment, a sharp blade pierced the brain of the dog dog leader…….
“HAHIH!? HAHIIIIih!?”
Not knowing what was going on, Tokuda sat up, leaking a warm liquid that wet his pants.
“……looks like it’s done here.”
Teaser who was disguised as a blonde call girl walked into the room.
“Eh? Wh, what the hell are you!?”
“I'm Kuroyume’s number 10 and I'm here on the order of the organization to rescue you.”
“Re, rescue? Really!?”
Tokuda looked relieved. The fact that the other person was a female must have relieved his tension.
“This time, we, Kuroyume, helped you. But you won’t think it was for free, will you?”
“I see…… The goal is to revive your once-blanketed investment in the company, right? I understand. I'll tell the board to invest in Kuroyume right away.”
“Thank you for making the talk so smooth. Well, I look forward to working with you.”
After that, Tokuda immediately ordered the company's executives to resume their investment in Kuroyume.
And on the ride home……
“Sigh, what a pain, I guess we'll have to tighten up our security from now on. I never thought I'd end up owing a debt to Kuroyume of all sides…”
Tokuda is an anti-gifted person, although he doesn’t disclose the fact. He considered people with gift to be lower than ordinary people and he is a great supporter of the current government policy.
This time, his investment in Kuroyume was only about 10 million yen. It was just a means to get through the situation.
“Hmph, as if I’d waste more money on filths than I have to.”
Suddenly the car came to a stop. It was in a relatively deserted alleyway.
“Hey driver, why did you bring me here?”
“I apologize, chairman~. I think my partner has something to do, so…”
With that, the driver got out of the car and went away.
“Hey, you fucker! Where do you think you're going, leaving me here like this?”
“……At least, you’re going to hell.”
“What? ……AGARH!?”
Lonsdaleite's blade pierced Tokuda's open mouth.
As his consciousness faded, a figure appeared next to his seat. The figure was an ally of justice, a figure that no one does not knows these days.
“Br……Brig……ht……”
“That's the name of the man who killed you. Don't forget it when you go to hell, you fucker.”
“Good work. Mission complete, partner.”
“……Why did we have to go through all this trouble? Why didn't we just kill him quickly along with the dog dog guys?”
“The boss is cooking something on that part. There is a meaning for this old man to reopen the investment and then we’ll team up with the people who would benefit from his death to get Daito Trading on our side.”
“I see……. I could never go through with that hassle, as expected of boss.”
“I know right~. Maybe it won't be long before Kuroyume's goal is achieved.”
“I know right. I'm just doing what I can.”
On the surface, he is the ally of justice. Behind the scenes, he is an assassin. He believed that everything he did was a result of doing what he could to realize a society where all people lived equally.
……But, the passage of time is a cruel thing. The time for Kouki to be Bright will soon come to an end.
By learning the secrets of the Revived Hunters…….
And with Kuroyume's change, the spark of a long-standing feud grows.
Kuroyume and Kagero. The conflict between Japan's largest filth organizations, involving even NDF and will become a big whirlwind that changes the world…….
