Chapter 2022 - What's Your Decision?
"What?!"
Hearing Haru's words, their expression started to change.
If someone asked the Lion King Organization, who was their number one enemy, then, without doubt, it was the Knight of the Sinful God.
The Lion King Organization had the purpose of stopping Cain from appearing in this world again. On the other hand, the Knight of the Sinful God planned to revive Cain in this world again. Their ideas clashed with each other, and without a doubt, the Knight of the Sinful God was a terrorist group, which was why everyone was dumbfounded when they heard Haru's words.
"Who?"
They were confused, wondering who was the Knight of the Sinful God that Haru mentioned since they didn't say anything besides...
Shirona frowned and asked, "Those JSDF soldiers are..."
Haru nodded and said, "Maybe not all, but some of them should be a member of the Knight of the Sinful God."
"........."
They were silent, but some of them could tell that there was something weird with the JSDF soldiers that came to help them on this mission. Not only were the numbers of the soldiers quite small, but as the "Special Magical Attack Regiment," the weapons that they brought weren't proper equipment in case something dangerous really happened.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Hisano looked at Haru and asked.
"It's impossible to seal the relic now, or rather, it'll break the seal sooner or later," Haru said calmly.
"........"
"But don't worry, it shouldn't be a mass-destruction weapon, but..."
"But...?"
"Haru, don't end your sentence at the most important part!" Sayaka couldn't help but complain.
Everyone felt relief when they heard that the relic shouldn't be a weapon, and they wanted to ask how Haru could be so sure, but then when they heard the "but" word, they couldn't help, but their hearts were beating so fact.
"It might not be a weapon, but it might be a vessel for Cain," Haru said.
"............."
They thought the trouble wasn't big, but it was bigger than they had thought, and if the thing that was sealed by on the seal was a vessel for Cain and if it was stolen by the Knight of the Sinful God, then the consequences...
Shirona looked at Haru and asked, "You're not interested in Cain?"
Haru looked weirdly at Shirona and asked, "Is Cain a woman?"
"........." Everyone.
"No, he's a guy," Shirona said dumbly.
"Then I don't have an interest." Haru shook his head without hesitation.
"Senpai!"
"Haru!"
Sayaka and Himeragi were so helpless at that moment.
They couldn't help but chuckle for a moment and thought that it was quite reassuring to know that Haru was so lustful since this way, they didn't need to worry that he might try to revive Cain, and more importantly, they could also be on his good side instantly since the majority of the Lion King Organization were beautiful women.
Shirona was in deep thought, then glanced at Yuiri and Shio, then nodded secretly. She then looked at Haru and asked, "When is the seal going to break?"
"It should be around a week or so," Haru said simply.
"If... If you unseal this relic, what'll happen?" Shirona asked.
Hisano looked at Shirona in surprise, but she didn't say anything.
"Hmm...." Haru didn't answer Shirona's question for a moment and said, "I'm not sure."
"..............." Everyone.
Haru also looked at Shirona helplessly and said, "What did you expect? This is my first time to meet such a case. Do you think that the vessel of Cain is so common that you'll meet it every day?"
Hearing Haru's words, Shirona also felt quite embarrassed since she thought that Haru was so knowable, so she couldn't help but rely on him so much. "Is it just dangerous or not?" This was the most important point and what she needed to know.
"Frankly, I don't know whether it is dangerous or not, but as long as it is in the hands of the Knight of the Sinful God, I don't think that it'll be good for you, right?" Haru said.
"........."
Shirona, Yukari, and Hisano were in silence again and knew that they couldn't let a group of terrorists have the relic that was sealed inside the lake.
"Yukina, Sayaka, let's go back," Haru suddenly said.
Sayaka and Himeragi didn't say much and subconsciously followed him, but Shirona was dumbfounded and quickly stopped him.
"Why did you suddenly go back?! What should we do if you're gone?!" Shirona wanted to slap Haru's head at this moment for going home so suddenly.
"What did you expect again? I'm not your subordinate. Do you want me to wait for a week or so, waiting for the seal to break? I'm not so free!" Haru had a lot of things to do, and it was impossible for him to stay in this place for a long time.
"What?! Didn't you promise to help us?! You have also even chased out all of our helpers. If you're gone, then what should we do? Take responsibility!" Shirona said while crying.
Both of them started to bicker with each other, forgetting their status as the fourth primogenitor and one of the leaders of the Lion King Organization.
".........." Everyone.
Shirona squinted her eyes and asked, "What do you want? As long as it is within my power, I can help you." She then moved closer, squeezed her boobs slightly, and pressed them against Haru.
"Wha --?!" Shio, Yuiri, Himeragi, and Sayaka were dumbfounded.
"........." Hisano and Yukari.
Haru, without hesitation, flicked Shirona's forehead.
"Ouch!" Shirona rubbed her forehead and complained. "What are you doing?!"
"That's my question, what are you doing? Aren't you a leader of the Lion King Organization? You're in front of your subordinates. You need to maintain your image." Haru scolded Shirona without hesitation, but the people who heard his words could only roll their eyes since he also didn't maintain his image as the fourth primogenitor.
"I might be a leader of the Lion King Organization, but I'm also a woman..." Shirona murmured.
"What?"
"Nothing!" Shirona pouted and asked, "So what should we do so you'll help us?"
"I can't stay in this place too long, so I'll give you an offer to break the seal right now and help you to protect the relic. As for what you're doing with the relic, it's your choice. I won't care much about it," Haru said without hesitation.
".........."
Everyone except for Sayaka and Himeragi was in silence, wondering why Haru would help them so much.
"Why are you helping us so much?" Shirona asked after a moment of hesitation.
"Even though your organization is quite unreliable, you have taken care of Sayaka and Yukina from their childhood time, so this is my way to repay you," Haru said without hesitation.
"Senpai!"
"Haru!"
Sayaka and Himeragi hugged Haru at the same time with a happy smile and thought that everything that he did right now was for them, which made them move.
Haru looked at Sayaka and Himeragi, who hugged him and thought that they were really cute. He then looked at Sayaka and thought that it might be time soon.
Looking at the three of them, Yukari, Shirona, Hisano, Yuiri, and Shio, they had to admit that they were so jealous at this moment.
"So, what's your decision?"
Hearing Haru's question again, no one said anything, and they looked at Shirona at the same time since she was the decision-maker in this plan.
Shirona thought for a moment then made up her decision. "Then...."
