World Record - Chapter 100

That was on a cloudy day.
I put on my shoes while holding the scabbard.

Whathappened?

A worried voice resounds.
The presences outside the house are too much until the girl who have never received the Reading training, can perceive.
Thats why, she know about it.
That this house is already surrounded.

Sorry, I stopped working for a while. Maybe because of that, my boss brought all her subordinates here. Ill only going to have a little talk with her
T-Then! Y-You dont needthat katana

Feeling uneasy, the girls body trembles.
Well, of course, she would feel that way.
At present, I probably have no ally.
I wonderwhat happened to Nee-san. Shes either arrested or perhaps, on the other side. I dont mind if shes on that side as long as shes alright. Well, its her after all. She might have been arrested.

This house has my genuine superpower applied on it. It will never be destroyedso youll be safe if you close the door

This house will never be destroyed.
Theres no opening to enter even if the window is closed.
Thereforetheres no other way to intrude this house other than entering from the entrance.
And.

Dont worry

I smile and push open the door.
The familiar looking garden of my house.
Andthe familiar looking colleagues who are fully armed.
And, Kasan.

I have never expected this kind of day to come.
Deep down in my heart, I gave up and live

doing what Kasan says and hunting down Unknowns.
However, its different now.
I will decide my life.
Even if my way of life conflicts with Kasans belief.

Even if I have to make enemies of the world, I will not let you through

Even if I have to beat down Kasan.
I have decided to protect this girl.

Iwato, this is my first and final warning. Surrender the pest hiding behind you
I refuse

I refuse immediately.
The familiar colleagues who knew me, opened their eyes wide and even Kasan opened her eyes widebut she leaks a laugh.

I cant believe that after becoming independent, you would look like a man
Yeah. Im already 13. I thought that I should be independent by now

While saying that, I didnt ignore the elites behind her.
All B rankno, veterans who are equal to A rank.
The prominent combatants among the Special Forces who know about my ident.i.tyKing of Black Coffin.

Unknowns are pests. They only know how to harm and give despair to humans. The extermination targets that know nothing but killing us. Thats what Unknowns are. No matter what kind of human form it takes, its different than a humanits just a monster

I feel fear from my back.
Geez, even though I told her to not worry, why is she this interested in me.
Well, maybe at her age, she might be interested in such things.
Thats why, I can say this with

with confidence.

Youre wrong, Kasan. Unknowns are the same as humans

I gaze at Kasans eyes.
I heard from Tou-san that Kasans parents were killed by an Unknown. Thats why, she hates Unknowns to an abnormal state, and planted such knowledge into me.
Regarding that, I dont blame her. After all, among the Unknowns I fought so far, only that guy and girl took contact with me.
Thats why, what she said is right, butsurely, its also wrong.

Youre right that there are many evil Unknowns. There are Sacred Beast cla.s.s that are cunning due to them possessing intellect. There are also the ones that try to kill humans even without being taught about it. There are also the ones that enjoy killing itself

I wont deny that.
But, Kasan.

Unknowns are alive. They worry just like us. They eat something just like us. They laugh with someone, and they cry with someone. They overcome each of those, and live on

These guys are alive.
What is right and wrong.
After continuous thinkingIm sure that the Shutendouji reached to a conclusion that the right choice is to join hands with humans.
However, I ruined his dream.
I ruined it and killed him.

I wont make the same mistake anymore. I will worry, suffer, and struggle properlyand live for the moment

Ill never let it go.
Ill never do exactly as she says anymore.
I think Ill fail and regret a lot from now on.
But

on.
But I want those failures and regrets to be something that comes after all my choices.
Its most likely a stupid self-satisfaction.
I dont mind even if you laugh.
But no matter who laughs at me, I have already decided it.
Ill protect this girlwith my life.

I unsheathe the katana on my waist.
The light from the sun reflects, and the temper patterns of the blade shines faintly.
I point the katana at them.

Ill never forgive those who hurt my precious one

Im not scared of anything now.
The failures and regrets that awaits me, are the result of my own decision.
Well, its worrisome, but.
Im sure that I can get on with it.

In order to protect this girl, Ill do anything.

I feel that way.

Kasan breathes out upon hearing my words.
And said the truth once again.

I see, then, you are my enemy

Enemy.
Upon hearing that, my chest tightens.
The sharp words from Kasan who brought me up, made me clench my teeth.

Ah, yeah

The moment I picked this choicethe choice of protecting the girl, I have already prepared for the consequences.
To sever the connections between us.

But I have already decided. Even if my opponent is Kasan, even if what awaits me is misfortune, Ill continue moving on this path

Thats my only way of atonement.
Its something that only I who stole everything from the girl, can do.

Really, foolish

She muttered and raise her right arm to the arm to the sky.
Her face still has some kind of conflict.
I can see that shes enduring an unbearable pain.
However, Kasan is my mother as well as the highest executive who protects the world.
Then

I order as the Special Forces supreme commandant. Kill the Unknown living in that house as well as Nagumo Iwato

I think that her decision is not wrong.
I concluded that the pain in my chest is fake, and prepare the katana.
If I cant endure such pain, how can I live on like this.
Its not that Ill kill or be killed.
Thats why, its still fine.
Such painfor her, this pain is

I grasp the katana tightly, and she swings her hand down.
At the same time, the Special Forces members behind her, start to run

Haai, enough!

Carrying an explosive sound, something crashed between us.
No, Im sure that someone is more proper. In this world, only me, Tou-san andthat person can do such stunt without getting hurt.

Y-You are

Kasans surprised shriek leaks beyond the cloud of sand.
Or rather, Im the one who wants to scream

This might turn out very bad

The cloud of sand clears up.
Beyond that, the originator who created the crater, is standing there, and she smiled coldly with her sword stabbed on the ground.

Well then, what are you doing when Im not around, Supreme Leader? AndKing of Black Coffin, Nagumo Iwato?

The person there is another Absolute.

King of Heroes (Pantheon)Esashi Sana.
