"La~ la~ la~"
"..."
In the bustling corridor, a small girl with a cloth covering her eyes was singing and begging.
She held a wooden sign hanging from her neck.
It read:
"I am a 'Cursed Child' from the Outer District."
In the crowded place, many people looked at her with disgust.
Then they walked past her.
Two men, each holding a can of soda.
"Look, a blind Cursed Child. Watch me tease her."
"Hahaha, you rascal."
"Let's go, let's go."
With that, one of them tossed a can tab into the broken plate on the ground.
The tab clinked against the old plate, making a crisp sound.
Hearing the crisp sound, the girl spoke in the direction the man had left.
"Thank you."
The two men laughed, arms around each other's shoulders, and walked away.
"Ni-chan, can I cut them down?"
Hiruko Kohina, who had been watching the scene, looked up and tugged on Abel's sleeve, asking "innocently."
Abel's gaze turned cold.
He said nothing.
"Shadow."
A red glow emerged from Abel's shadow.
Then a mass of shadow swiftly vanished in the direction of the two men who had left.
The two men were laughing as they walked forward when suddenly they tripped. Before they could react, the shadow instantly dragged them into the darkness.
No one saw this happen.
After all, one or two people disappearing daily was the norm.
"Kohina, do you want to be friends with her?"
"Can I?"
"Of course."
"Then can we take her home?"
"Your brother, I, came to rescue children like you," Abel said, ruffling Hiruko Kohina's small head.
Then he took her hand and walked towards the white-haired girl.
Hearing the approaching footsteps, the little girl turned her head and "looked" at Abel.
Abel looked at the little one in front of him, the chill emanating from him intensified.
Because her mother, who abandoned her, disliked her red eyes.
So, she had poured lead into her own eyes.
Enjoying the protection of the "Cursed Children" on one hand, then disliking the "Cursed Children" on the other, and finally, raising a blade against the "Cursed Children."
Indeed... this world needs to be cleansed.
"You... hello."
The little girl greeted cautiously.
After all, being stared at by someone was very uncomfortable.
Just as Abel was about to speak, Hiruko Kohina spoke first.
"Hello, my name is Hiruko Kohina. What happened to your eyes?"
Hiruko Kohina asked curiously.
Injuries like these, she would heal quickly.
After all, this was a characteristic of the "Cursed Children."
The little girl paused slightly but maintained her smile.
She slowly untied the cloth wrapped around her eyes.
Empty eye sockets were revealed.
Abel said nothing.
Since coming to this world, his emotions had fluctuated more than ever before.
The little girl's tender voice came.
"I poured lead into them."
"Because my mother, who abandoned me, hated my red eyes."
Saying this, the little girl re-tied the cloth.
These words were devoid of emotion, as if she was accustomed to it.
The little girl "looked" at Hiruko Kohina again and walked forward.
"Are you also a 'Cursed Child'?"
"Yes, we are the same kind."
Hiruko Kohina nodded. The little girl wanted to say something more, but the socially confident Kohina interrupted, "Then be my friend!"
At these words, the little girl froze.
Friend?
What a strange word.
Abel squatted down at this moment.
"Little one, come with me, how about you follow me from now on?"
The little girl's body trembled slightly, and for a moment, she didn't know how to respond.
After all, it was the first time she had felt such a sincere aura from a "person." She had never imagined that someone would actively invite her to leave this place full of disgust and indifference.
"Rea... really po..."
The little girl stopped speaking before she finished her sentence.
She couldn't leave yet; she still had a younger sister.
The little girl looked up, and though her eyes were covered by the cloth, tears seemed to shimmer.
"Sor... sorry... I have a younger sister, I can't leave her behind."
The little girl said, head bowed.
Abel sighed, placing his hand on her small head.
Just as he was about to speak... "Please take them away."
Abel froze; this voice echoed in his mind.
"Oh, outsider 'Heaven'~ take the children away, take them, treat them well, this is the last wish of a mother (the world)."
The world's consciousness?
Even the broken world's consciousness detested these disgusting people so much.
Abel silently mused.
"I will take all the children of this world, rest assured."
"That would be for the best."
With that, the voice of the world's consciousness dissipated.
What followed was the sublimation of his own Heavenly Dao. Although it was only a little, he still captured it.
Feeling the warmth on her head, the little one's body trembled slightly. This... this was the first time she had ever been stroked on the head by someone.
Her face felt a little warm.
"Ni-chan~ I want some too!"
Hiruko Kohina's voice pulled Abel back. He smiled, rubbing the two little ones' heads, "Alright, alright, you both get some."
After a while, Abel asked softly.
"Where is your sister? We'll take her with us."
"Can... can we?"
"Of course, you are the treasures of the world."
This was the truth.
Truly the world's relics.
Only you represent that this world once existed, even if the humans living in it are so disgusting.
The little girl hesitated, then finally spoke slowly: "My sister is in the Outer District, can we really?"
Abel stood up and took the little girl's hand: "Of course."
Just then.
The sound of a crowd came from the street.
"Gastrea genes are unforgivable! Drive out the 'Cursed Children'!!"
"Drive out the 'Cursed Children'!!"
"Gastrea..."
Watching the parade below, Abel's eyes were cold.
Indeed... these guys are still too complacent.
The Yanhuang had an ancient saying.
If he didn't vent his anger, his thoughts wouldn't be clear.
Even as a demon, he had to keep himself happy.
So... let me see how to deal with this.
"Then... Undead Beast Pack, dinner time."
As Abel whispered.
Dangerous species that had been killed in the Akame ga Kill world appeared from the shadows, accompanied by the spreading darkness from beneath their feet. The beast tide swept towards the parading crowd like surging water.
Those complacent, high-and-mighty people were still shouting slogans.
"Awoo!!"
"Roar!!"
"Hoo!!"
One by one, undead dangerous species burst out from the shadows beneath their feet.
Then they were crunched up, one bite at a time.
For a moment, the crowd froze.
But soon, screams and gunshots continuously rang out.
A feast was born.
"Onii-chan~"
Hiruko Kohina looked at Abel, her eyes gleaming with joy, while also giving him a look that said, 'I knew it was you.'
Abel smiled slightly, rubbing the two little ones' heads, "Let's go, little one, to pick up your sister."
"Mm."
"Oh, what's your name?"
"Mm... I don't have a name."
"Is that so? How about I give you one? Izumi Eromanga, how does that sound?"
