Chapter 278: Dawn
Side text: An unexpected visit from Ougi Ichirou, the man who wounded Hiura Souji. Is he looking for fresh blood? Or is it…

What…
Are you doing here…?

02
I am deeply sorry.
I didn't mean for it to happen that way.

How is Sangou?

03
That's not his name!

Hiura Souji is only his alias.
He doesn’t even have a name.

He wasn't my target, this time.
It would be troublesome if he died.

Don’t you dare…
I’m only helping how I can.

The Ougi family medical team will be able to treat him..
If he can’t move,
Then I can summon my best healers here.

04
The arrangements have been made.
Once you agree, I will proceed.

It doesn't matter if you don't trust me, you can't do anything else…

I…
Don’t kill anyone other than those intended.

Masamori-san,
Have you heard of our medical division?

The Ougi family… Even though they're a large clan, most of them are fighters,
And with such a big operation, it is not impossible that they have this kind of division.

05
Can they….
Save him…?

Sen.
Yes!
Report on Hiura’s condition.
Yes!

If he can be saved,
It only happened because I didn't protect him in the first place…

But…!
You…

06
Why…
Do you kill people?

I told you, didn’t I?
It’s my job.

Is that even really a job?
You did it as if you like doing it!

I neither like it nor hate it.
It was decided.

There’s no way
It’s decided!

It’s decided.
But,
There are things I made up my own mind about.

07
I'm not going to go into detail, but my family’s history has always been smeared with blood and bad karma.
Every generation of my ancestors was hungry for power and would not think twice about committing sinful acts,
To hold onto the power, they’re willing to sacrifice everything.

Only a handful of us are left…
Almost everyone in the family would rather follow the path of power and die a pitiful death.

I’m standing on top of
A pile of countless pitiful corpses.
And as I step on their bones,
There’s no way I can escape the flow.

08
Chief!

At this moment he can’t move but,
It seems he’s conscious.

Is that so…

If that’s the case,
Please let us take care of him here.

Is it alright?!
I 'm not sure but…
Our medical team is one of the best.

I can't forgive you for what you did but,
I understand what you were trying to say.

09
Well then.

This number will only work for one hour starting from 7:07pm.
You can only make one request.

Why me?
You will use it well, won’t you?

If it’s you…
It's a favor for saving Rokurou-oniisan.

10
Favor…
How’s Rokurou-kun?

Ah…
Actually, he’s out of the house…
It’s good that he’s healthy after leaving the house but…

My brother,
He hates
me…

Well then, I’ll take my leave now.

The man you work for, is it the Sousui?

11
It’s over…

Somehow we managed to complete the repairs before dawn~~
HW: *Pant---*
That’s why I told you to take a break.

The method to break it was simpler than I thought…
As I thought, it’s the effect of Yoshimori’s kekkai…

Eh, yes. We were not much help though.
Well, we’ll return to the branch office soon.

Makio-san!
Erm, Souji-kun…

12
I can’t say that he’s completely fine but,
Leave everything here to us and take a good rest yourself.
But…!
Well then…

If,
Yoshimori-kun gets depressed right now
Could you please cheer him up?

I understand.

13
Hah!

I can't help myself!
I fell asleep out here again!!

Aah, but the morning sun is refreshing…
I saw such a fabulous illusion yesterday night… Well, was it a dream?

15
Well, this time the regeneration process took longer than usual..

Kakeru-sama.

16
Where is…
Michiru?

It’s a pity but,
Her body was completely destroyed leaving only a single speck of dust…

The night is ending…
We should leave here soon.

What…
Are you saying?

Michiru is immortal.
No matter what injury, I pray for myself to be healed over and over again.

You’re the only one
Who’s immortal.

Kakeru-sama.

No!
No, no
No!!

Michiru!!!
Michiru!!
Please be quiet.

18
Unforgivable!!
All those people, absolutely unforgivable!!

I’ll kill them…!
I’ll kill them and destroy this entire world!!

I swear!!!
