Chapter 394 Since ancient times, deep affection cannot be retained, only tricks can win people's hearts!
The campus stage play has ended, and the female lead has left, but the impact of the incident is only just beginning to unfold.
"That Aihara-san is from your class, right? Her fight with that monster just now was so cool!"
After the danger passed, the elementary school students began to discuss Aihara Enju intensely, and many students from other classes even came to inquire about the girl's situation.
"Ah, yes, that's right, Aihara Enju is a student in our class, and she sits right in front of me!"
Aihara Enju's classmate, who was initially at a loss when asked the question, later became somewhat proud and talked about her past relationship with Aihara Enju.
"But she's a child of curses, isn't she?"
Just as everyone was having a heated discussion about wanting a classmate of Aihara Enju to introduce him to the girl and make friends, someone said something that made the surrounding elementary school students fall silent.
"So what if Enju is a cursed child? She protected us! She was fighting desperately against that Gastrea just now for our sake!"
Unlike before, when he was afraid and rejected after learning that the girl was a cursed child, this time Ogawa, who had been saved and moved by the girl, stood up to speak for Aihara Enju, who had left.
"That's right, regardless of whether Aihara is a cursed child or not, she is a hero who saved us and everyone in the school!"
The chubby boy then spoke up, and the other students in the class, following suit, chimed in.
"I didn't mean anything by it, it's just that my dad said, don't go near the cursed child."
The boy who had spoken earlier lowered his head.
"Well……"
The other elementary school students looked at each other, and under the influence of the adults, they actually had the same idea.
But after witnessing Enju Aihara fight like a hero against Gastrea and collapse from exhaustion, the children had a question.
"Just because someone is a child of curses, does that mean we should distance ourselves from and reject them?"
One of the girls couldn't help but ask.
"By doing this, we are no different from the despicable villains who harmed the Heavenly Punishment Girl."
Recently, a segment of the animated series "Heavenly Punishment Girl" was broadcast, showing the girl being framed by the villain and subsequently criticized by the public. This has angered many elementary school students who watch the show.
"I don't care, I want to apologize to her and ask Yeonjoo to be my friend again!"
A short-haired girl named Ogawa decides not to be a villain who betrays heroes, and the other girls echo her decision.
"But, is Yeonjoo alright? She collapsed and had to be carried out. What if she..."
At that moment, someone spoke up.
The group of elementary school students around were filled with worry about the departing girl.
But this is something that children who have just experienced danger cannot control.
When the Gastrea invasion occurred at the school, the parents who were contacted quickly rushed over to look for their children.
After learning that it was the school's cursed child who saved their school children, these adults' feelings became somewhat complicated.
"Inspector, the appearance of the Gastrea at the school this time did not cause any casualties. The reason is said to be that there is a cursed... well, police officer's partner in this elementary school. He took timely action and eliminated the ant-like Gastrea that appeared at the school."
The police officers came to report after completing their investigation.
"A police officer's partner, you know..."
The middle-aged police inspector's expression was somewhat subtle.
"Our school responded to His Majesty the Holy Emperor's call and boldly allowed the cursed child to enroll. This was an extremely prescient act. If it weren't for that child studying at our school, our primary school might have suffered a major casualty incident..."
In front of the arriving media, the former principal was interviewed by reporters from different news agencies, talking at length about how he responded to the call of the nation.
"But, doesn't the Cursed Child carry the Gastrea virus? Your school lets them interact with normal children, won't that...?"
A reporter asked a question.
"Gastrviruses are not transmitted through the air, and we knew this when we were considering enrolling that special student."
Although it was something learned on the spot, the old principal didn't mind treating it as something the school had already investigated and understood.
"Parent, what are your thoughts on the sudden appearance of Gastrea on campus?"
The principal only said politically correct things. When they tried to ask questions about school safety, he just passed the buck to the city police. When the reporters realized they couldn't find any interesting stories, they turned their attention to the parents who came to look for their children.
"I used to think it was a bad thing to let my child study with the cursed child, but now I just want to thank that cursed child for saving my child..."
The chubby boy's father held his son in his arms, looking grateful in front of the camera.
"I'm very sorry, Aihara-kun. Please forgive my son for what he did to you before!"
The next day, while Lan Yuanyanzhu was pretending to be sick in her hospital room, she was greeted by a group of parents who had previously caused trouble, who brought gifts and their children to offer their condolences.
Unlike before when Bro forced them to bow their heads with slaps, this time their apology was sincere, which made the girl in the hospital bed feel very embarrassed.
The reason, of course, is that she knew the Gastrea was released by their side, and she felt very embarrassed that she had obtained a sincere apology from someone else through acting.
Her little feet wiggled under the covers, her face flushed, and she pulled the blanket over herself, not daring to look at her classmates who were sincerely looking at her, wanting her forgiveness and to reconcile with her.
"Alright, alright, Yeonju is seriously injured and needs to rest. If any of you are alright, please leave."
Fortunately, Rentaro Satomi resolved the situation by inviting a group of parents and elementary school students out.
"Mom, do you think Yeonju will forgive me?"
As the hospital room door closed, Aihara Enju seemed to hear the voices of her old friends asking her questions.
"Am I really doing this right?"
The deceptive performance put some pressure on the naive girl, who couldn't help but turn to ask the boy next to her.
"Deep affection is hard to retain, but tricks win people's hearts. This is what you, my sister, are good at. As long as the story has a happy ending, there's no problem."
Broly gave the girl an OK sign.
"I really didn't expect you guys to be so bold as to throw Gastrea into the school."
Sumire Muroto walked over. She was startled when Aihara Enju was carried over yesterday, and after hearing that the three of them had put on a good show at school, she was speechless, but still cooperated.
Through connections, a hospital was found to admit the girl, and the attending physician issued a certificate of injury. Currently, Aihara Enju has a mild concussion and various physical contusions.
"However, after this charade is over, your school will probably really stop rejecting the Cursed Child..."
The sincere gratitude of those who come to visit the sick shows that they have broken free from the social stigma of excluding children of the curse. Nowadays, even if others asked their children to transfer to other schools, those parents probably wouldn't be willing.
After all, Gouda Elementary School has already proven that even when dangerous Gastrea infiltrated the school, there were zero casualties. But can other elementary schools do that?
No, they couldn't do it, because the other primary schools lacked the foresight to admit the cursed child.
"This matter may even have some impact on society."
Sumire Muroto turned on the television in the hospital room.
"Principal Yoshida of Gouda Elementary School believes that it's an inevitable trend for schools to admit 'cursed children' in the future..."
"His Majesty the Holy Emperor's proposed Gastrea Law is an extremely visionary bill. As a citizen of Tokyo, I am willing to vote for His Majesty the Holy Emperor's proposed Gastrea Law..."
On the television next to me, the news from yesterday's interview was playing. The principal of Gou Tian Elementary School was not a big shot, but under the special circumstances, the Gastrea attack on the elementary school resulted in zero casualties, which gave him the opportunity to make the morning news headlines.
Right now, the elementary school principal who's making headlines on TV is expressing his support for the implementation of the Gastan Act and is enthusiastically praising the Holy Emperor, the head of state!
"What happened?"
Inside the council chamber, the white-haired Holy Emperor was somewhat bewildered.
I woke up early this morning to find that my popularity had skyrocketed.
After learning what had happened, the young Holy Emperor suddenly felt even more strongly that...
Destiny is in my hands!
"Have your people increase the publicity immediately. By the way, who is that cursed child who saved so many students?"
"She is a girl named Aihara Enju. She is a police officer at the Tendo Police Station and Satomi Rentaro's Initiator partner."
"Huh?!"
Upon hearing the name of the person he had met just a few days ago, the Holy Emperor was somewhat taken aback. After regaining his senses, he expressed his intention to personally visit and comfort the girl.
"This needs to be arranged, and we also need to ask the aide-de-camp for his opinion."
When a head of state visits the people, it's no small matter. If an antisocial individual were to emerge and take revenge on society, killing the holy emperor would be the end of the world.
"Then let's go ask."
The young Holy Emperor nodded. She was still young and inevitably needed to listen to the loyal advice of her capable ministers. She couldn't just do whatever she wanted.
*Smack!*
At the Tendo residence, a beautiful ceramic bowl was smashed on the ground, scattering white rice everywhere. Tendo Kikunojo's face was as black as ink.
He was the biggest opponent of the Gastan Act in the Tokyo area, so it's no wonder he was so unhappy to see news that was so supportive of it.
"What happened, Lord Kikunojo?"
The housekeeper rushed in and, seeing the broken bowl and scattered white rice on the floor, cautiously asked a question.
"It's nothing, my hand slipped. Let Ashin come over."
The steward told the maid to go in and tidy up, then notified the master's confidant to come over.
"Lord Kikunochori..."
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
A man in a sharp suit walked in and bowed to the old man.
"How's the matter I asked you to investigate going?"
"We've made some progress, but we haven't been able to find out anything about the boy's background. All we know is that he was taken to Ms. Kisara's office by Rentaro Satomi a week ago and joined her agency..."
The man in the suit reported a lot of information, not all of it, but he found out everything Broly had been seen in, wherever there was surveillance footage.
Among them is the location where the two guards who took the thief who was cursed were found dead in an abandoned building.
There have also been cases of boys slapping girls repeatedly at Gouda Elementary School in an attempt to curse them.
The latest incident happened just yesterday: Gastrea invaded the school and a girl defeated the Gastrea.
"Guard guard dead, slapped, Gastrea invasion..."
As Tendo Kikunojo listened, his brows furrowed.
"Ashin, do you really think the Gastrea invasion of the school was an accident?"
"I am unaware."
The man in the suit did not offer an opinion.
"What a coincidence."
The old man pondered for a moment, then said, "Whether it was intentional or a coincidence, investigate it thoroughly."
"Sir, what if it was deliberate?"
"Then expose it."
"What if it's a coincidence?"
"What the truth is is not important; what is important is what the public should know about the truth."
Kikunojo Tendo opposes the implementation of the new method of the original stomach, but he cannot openly oppose the Emperor's decision.
Therefore, he needs to let public opinion oppose this.
But how do you get public opinion to oppose it?
Naturally, the world would despise that cursed child infected with Gastrea.
In his eyes, the Cursed Child is a monster, even if it has a human form, it is a potential monster that could turn into Gastrea at any time due to the infection rate.
Using them as weapons against Gastrea is one thing, but granting the Cursed Children human rights and treating them as humans is another.
"What? The Holy Emperor wants to visit the Cursed Child who protected the students during yesterday's Gastrea invasion?"
At noon, a clerk brought this news.
The old man frowned, feeling as if he had been hit by a series of punches.
"Yes."
The clerk from the council nodded.
"Lord Kikunojo, what is your suggestion?"
The old man before me held a high position and wielded great power. Before the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, he was the one who stabilized the political situation in Tokyo and gained considerable advantages in diplomacy and politics with the other four security zones. He was an extremely important politician in the Tokyo area.
"I disagree, but if His Majesty the Holy Emperor really wants to do it, then let him do it."
After some consideration, Kikunojo Tendou adopted a non-opposition stance, as his relationship with the Holy Emperor was somewhat strained due to the New Stomatology Method, and it was indeed time to ease tensions.
The emperor needs sufficient security when he travels, which will reduce the defenses at the council's premises.
Perfect timing! Let Hiruko Kagetane take action and seize the Seven Star Relics stored inside.
. . . .
"According to sources, the 'cursed child' named Aihara** has committed extremely egregious acts of violence against other students on campus..."
A day later, the young hero, who had returned to school and was warmly welcomed by the teachers and students of Gou Tian Elementary School, was exposed by some small and medium-sized news agencies for this kind of scandal.
"Satomi, tell me honestly, has Enju ever hit anyone at school?"
Kisara Tendo called to inquire, having only learned about the Gastrea invasion of the school after the news broadcast, which gave her a new idea for investigating the truth behind the Seven Star Relics.
"No, Yeonju has never hit anyone at school."
Rentaro Satomi assured the person on the other end of the phone.
I was the one who hit him.
Broly said from the side.
"What's wrong, Kisara-nee? Do you know anything about these sudden scandals and negative news?"
Rentaro Satomi asked quickly.
"I'm not sure yet, but what I want to say is not to act impulsively. It's easy to hit someone, but it's hard to manage public opinion. Please don't let your emotions get the better of you and go and smash up someone else's news agency."
Kisara Tendo called to tell me this.
"In addition, His Majesty the Holy Emperor will be visiting Yeonju's elementary school to offer his condolences."
"We interviewed some students who had experienced violence..."
Just then, a campus interview was broadcast on television.
The child, whose face was blurred, recounted how he had been slapped.
When victims came forward to share their experiences, the online public opinion naturally took a sharp turn for the worse.
The next day, when Broly went to school with Enju Aihara, he discovered that the person being interviewed, who was covered in mosaic, was the chubby boy in Enju Aihara's class.
Broly picked up the chubby boy for questioning and found that the boy had only told him about discriminating against Enju, being slapped by him, and realizing that he shouldn't have rejected girls as a child of curses after being saved by Enju.
At the end of the interview, the chubby boy appealed to everyone not to judge people based on their status as a "cursed child"...
"Damn it, those unscrupulous media outlets are taking things out of context!"
When he learned the truth, Rentaro Satomi was furious.
"Tell me where those idiots are!"
Broly was furious.
He had worked hard to put together a skit, and everything was going well.
result……
The Saiyan boy now had only one thought: to run to those news agencies that were reporting nonsense and deliver an energy blast that could send those bastards flying!
"Broly, calm down, calm down!"
Recalling the boy's terrifying nature, Rentaro Satomi broke out in a cold sweat and immediately began to persuade the boy.
