“There’s no way I will allow that.”

In Kiryu's room, Takahiko that had come to ask whether he could go to Germany was kicked out of the room by the owner.

(TL: The dialogue below is between Evil and Kiryu. Not sure how they communicate after kicking Evil out. Evil talking from outside the door?)

Why Takahiko you ask? The reason is after Kouki listened to Hannah's request, he had started preparing to go to Germany...

“But think about it, the quiet and rarely assertive Hannah plucked her courage to ask for help from Kouki. Wouldn’t he feel compelled to move for her?”

“I know that. But it doesn't have to be Bright who goes to Germany, does it? We are at an important time and there is a lot of work to do, for both Bright and you.”

Kuroyume's entry into society is going too well. Too well it’s actually scary.

Among other things, Kouki's contribution has been a big part of Kuroyume's success. Nowadays, Darkflash Bright, is outstandingly well known all over the world. He is known not only as the last boss but also as the strongest filth and finally the dark hero of justice.

Kiryu thought that it would be a blow to the organization if Kouki were to be gone for a long time.

However, Hannah basically never comes out in public, and even Kouki and Takahiko have only recently been able to have a conversation with her. That's why Takahiko understood that Kouki wants to help Hannah.

“……Besides, Kuroyume has been formally requested by the German government.”

In Germany, the divide between specialists and filths is different from that compared to Japan and filth there is defined as people with gift that had committed obvious crimes. In other words, there is no such thing as stray filth and in a sense, the nation has achieved what is the goal of Kuroyume.

“Eh? It's about Hannah's older sister, wasn’t it?”

“It's probably not unrelated. There have been a number of incidents in Germany where people with low combat abilities or ordinary non-gifteds suddenly disappearing. That's why the German government's tops had asked me to investigate directly.”

“If so, then even more reason to…”

“I'm sure you're well aware of this but Kuroyume(we) are not so fragile. We are able to complete the request from Germany even without Bright.

But we can't do things here without Bright. I'm sure he hasn't forgotten the promise he made to me when I allowed him to work on the side of justice that he had dreamed of for so long.”

When he said that, Takahiko couldn't say anything either.

Initially, Kiryu's plan was to have Bright act as an executioner of evildoers who harmed society, regardless they are filths or non-gifteds. By doing so, he hoped that it would have the effect of making the threat of Bright even more apparent to the public.

However, Kouki refused to do so, and requested to work as an ally of justice and helping people from evildoers who harmed society, regardless they are filths or non-gifteds instead.

…As a result, this request of his was more successful than Kiryu had imagined and instead of as the last boss, it had the effect of spreading his name widely known as a dark hero who does righteous deeds despite his evil appearance….

“You were there when Bright and I made that promise, so you remember right? As for helping people, I'll let him do whatever he wants. In exchange, he’ll do whatever I tell him to do for other matters.”

Takahiko could not help but think that these words were a burden now. But the truth is that Kiryu has never asked Kouki to do anything until now.

“……anyway, why is he avoiding me? Evil, do you have any idea what's going on?”

“Eh? ……No, I don’t. I can't even get a reading from God Eye. Isn’t he afraid that if he sees boss, you might force him to do something impossible?"

“Just that doesn’t explain it…”

At this point, Kiryu suddenly became thoughtful. Takahiko knew that it was Kiryu's old habit to run into his own thoughts in the middle of a conversation, so he dared not to say anything.

“……Hmm, I understand. I'll give you special permission to take Bright to Germany.”

Takahiko was elated but also felt doubtful by Kiryu's sudden change of opinion.

“Why the sudden change?”

“…It's not been confirmed yet, but there is a possibility that a certain organization is involved in the disappearance happening in Germany.

I think that any of the numbers will be able to destroy that organization if we get into trouble with them but I also think that they might have information about the Revived Hunter.”

“Information about Revived Hunter? Why is that the case?"

“Hmm. That organization has been experimenting with the gift for some time now. I think they're using the kidnapped people to conduct experiments on humans. At least that’s what I’m assuming they are doing.

But the trouble is, this organization's research results are highly regarded around the world and there is no solid evidence of kidnapping. So I was planning to get the evidence first and then hit the organization after I had a good reason.

So far, any other member could have done it. But…if that organization had information about Revived Hunter's abilities, Bright would have a lot to gain from it.”

“I see……. But I don't think there's anyone in this world who can kill that guy anymore. It doesn't matter how many attacks he eats, he recovers quickly and the attacks usually don't hit to begin with or even if they do, they don't do any damage. He hasn't died since the clash in Shiroyume.

As far as I know, only boss or the NDF former general, Onijima, right? The only one who can take him on properly.”

……Kiryu pondered again here. And……

“Evil. You're going to Germany with Bright. And if you learn anything about the Revived Hunter's abilities, be sure to tell me.”

“Eh? I can go as well!?”

“Yeah. It'll be an easy mission for the two of you. Just don't forget to report back, alright?”

“Yes! Then, I will be on my way ASAPー!”

Takahiko left Kiryu's room feeling like he was on vacation.

Kiryu that was left behind began to ponder again.

(The urge to kill after Revived Hunter’s activation…. A strong desire to kill the killer……. And the only person who killed him and is still alive is...... me, huh)

Thinking about it, Kiryu hasn't had a face-to-face conversation with Kouki for half a year now. Even without any deep analysis about it, he could tell that Kouki was avoiding him.

(Maybe if he sees me…… he'll feel the urge to kill me. I guess we still need to figure out what the Revived Hunter is capable of. I…… as well as him, neither of us can be allowed to die yet.)

So far, things are going according to Kiryu's plan. But it's still not enough.

The day to come. ……If they want to survive the second coming of phenom, they still are far…

I tried drawing a flag. It’s not a bad attempt right?
