Black Bullet World.
Osaka Area.
"The plan targeting the miracle drug failed again?"
Sogen's brow furrowed slightly.
As one of the highest-ranking officials of the Five Conclave and the head of the Osaka Area, he hated things that got out of control.
Especially this miracle drug that had appeared out of nowhere.
"What about the people who took the miracle drug? Any research results?"
One person hesitated before speaking. "After taking the drug on the spot, all of them disappeared mysteriously."
"At present, we don't know if they actively defected or if something unexpected happened."
Hearing this, Sogen showed a thoughtful expression.
Aside from this matter,
Not long ago, even Kikunojo had died.
Such situation made him vaguely uneasy.
It was as if an invisible giant hand was manipulating everything behind the scenes.
Just then, another person came to report. "Sir, Kiryu is dead. Now the Hokkaido Area has completely fallen under the control of Juzoji-sama."
"Good."
A glint of light appeared in Sogen's eyes. "The timing is perfect. We'll pressure Seitenshi and find out about this miracle drug problem."
Facing a thing like a miracle drug,
He believed the heads of the other regions would also be interested.
With the two of them leading the way...
The heads of the other regions would follow suit.
Then,
He didn't believe Seitenshi wouldn't give in.
…
A few days later,
Ayato was once again a workhorse in the Black Bullet World.
After continuous work, he finally completed the Reincarnation Ceremony for several thousand Cursed Children.
"Only a few left?"
Ayato sat on the sofa, gently rubbing his temples.
Although not tired... his heart was exhausted.
Tap tap tap!
Footsteps approached. Ayato looked up and was slightly stunned.
'This one... looked a bit familiar.'
"You are... Mibu Asaka?"
He had a deep impression of this child, who had the bearing of an adult despite her young age.
"Ayato-nii knows me?"
Asaka's eyes lit up.
'Ayato-nii said my name. I'm so happy.'
"Mm!"
Ayato smiled. "Because Asaka is very cute."
"Oh my god, Asaka was praised by Ayato-nii."
"I'm so jealous. I want to be praised by Ayato-nii too."
A wave of envious sounds came from afar.
Hearing this, Asaka's body trembled. Two blushes appeared on her cheeks.
'Cute... me?'
She looked down, drawing circles with her fingers.
No one had ever said that before.
Those people only said she was a monster.
"Are you ready? Time for the Reincarnation Ceremony."
Ayato's warm voice sounded.
"Yes!"
Asaka quickly looked up and instinctively straightened her back.
Ayato smiled and took out an Evil Piece.
"Asaka... will definitely make a good wife someday."
"Eh?"
Asaka's body trembled. Her eyes were full of disbelief and joy.
'W-wife?'
"Oh my god, is this a marriage proposal?"
"I want Ayato-sama's proposal too."
The distant Cursed Children also voiced their envy.
'P-proposal?'
Asaka was completely flushed, losing all ability to think.
She said instinctively, "Is this true?"
"Don't doubt it. After all, you are all my wings."
After placing the Evil Piece, Ayato gave her a head pat. "Every one of you is the same to me."
As soon as he said this...
Not just Asaka...
The other Cursed Children's hearts also raced.
'We... are also Ayato-nii's wings.'
On the other side, watching this scene, the corner of Utaha's mouth twitched. 'This Master of mine is becoming more and more shameless.'
'Now,'
'He had almost ten thousand wings, right?'
'Wasn't he afraid of being stuffed?'
But thinking about it carefully, she fell silent.
In this regard... he really didn't need to be afraid.
A Campione's physique combined with the Thousand Transformations Authority... was simply terrifying.
A moment later,
The last Cursed Child finally finished her reincarnation.
"Alright, everyone, please come with me. We're going to the next world."
Euphemia, acting as a guide, gently led the group of Cursed Children onto the teleportation circle.
"Oh, right, how is the miracle drug plan going?"
Ayato turned his gaze to Najenda.
This matter required manpower, so Najenda, with her outstanding management skills, was in full charge.
"Currently, about seventy percent of the Tokyo Area's population has completed conversion."
Najenda reported. "However, recently many people have appeared trying to get their hands on the miracle drug."
"Oh?"
Ayato's eyes flickered. He smiled. "Has someone finally lost patience?"
"Mm, but not understanding the truth, they can't succeed."
A smile appeared on Najenda's face.
During this time,
Countless people had used various methods, all emerging one after another.
But,
It was all meaningless.
The nurses distributing the drugs were all converted monsters.
Even pretending to take the drug couldn't fool their identification.
After all,
They could sense their own kind.
As for taking it directly and wanting to go back to experiment.
That was even more impossible.
Once successfully converted...
That meant they were one of them.
How could they betray Ayato?
If they tried force,
The streets were full of converted monsters. No matter who came, they would kneel.
If it came to worst,
Esdeath and the others could even teleport in at any time.
Just then, Seitenshi pushed the door open and entered.
"Master, I just received word that the heads of the other regions are inviting me to a meeting."
Seitenshi spoke. "It should be about the miracle drug."
"Should I go?"
Ayato said, "Don't ask me. What's your idea?"
For his servants, he had to train them.
Otherwise, if he had to do everything himself, he'd be run ragged.
And this world would eventually need a manager.
The native-born Seitenshi is definitely the most suitable.
"They come with ill intent."
Seitenshi thought for a moment, then said calmly, "But I think this is an opportunity."
"Now the conversion plan for the entire Tokyo Area is largely complete."
"It's time to expand the plan to other regions."
"It seems you've truly grown during this time."
Ayato looked at her deeply and smiled. "Then do as you say."
