Realizer of Death : The Reaper



Tenku and the others went to Caretta Shiodome as their next destination. They decide to go there at Kohana's request. The little girl is jealous after hearing stories from her sister and Kirika about the ice illuminations at the Sapporo Snow Festival. Setsuka and her family had visited the place several times, but Kohana never did.

But Tenku and the girls couldn't come to the Sapporo Snow Festival because it was far away. Therefore, they were looking for a tourist spot with a similar view in Tokyo, and their choice fell on Caretta Shiodome. Although it doesn't have as many giant ice and snow sculptures as at the Sapporo Snow Festival, the ice illuminations are still beautiful and exciting. It was enough to dispel Kohana's jealousy and make the little girl happy.

"Wow! This place is wonderful!" Kohana said in awe and with sparkling eyes.

Tenku had to carry her in his arms because the place was crowded with visitors that night, making it difficult for Kohana to see the scenery. Besides, this situation made it easy for Kohana to get lost, and Tenku didn't want that to happen.

"This place is indeed beautiful, but the Sapporo Snow Festival is much more attractive because there are many giant ice sculptures." Wang Ruyue smiled and teased Kohana.

"Yes, you're right! I also saw it from the photos that big sister showed me." Kohana pouted after hearing that.

Wang Ruyue chuckled when she saw the little girl's expression because it was adorable. Then Kohana suddenly turned her eyes to Tenku and opened her mouth.

"Let's go to Sapporo, big brother! I want to see the giant ice statue!" Kohana whined. Tenku couldn't help but sigh and then looked at Wang Ruyue.

"Can you not tease her like that?" Tenku complained. Wang Ruyue stuck out her tongue in response to his words, and she quickened her steps. When she saw her pitiful face, Tenku was confused about how to answer Kohana's request. Luckily, someone came forward and spoke.

"Didn't you promise not to bother your big brother if I took you to his apartment? Do you want to break your words?" Setsuka warned her little sister.

"Huh? I just said my request to him and didn't intend to cause him any trouble. So it can't be considered as breaking the promise. After all, big brother is fine about it. Then why is big sister complaining to me?" Kohana replied flatly.

"You!" Setsuka was irritated when she heard Kohana's words. She did not expect that her little sister would give such a response. But Tenku raised her hand when she wanted to scold Kohana. Setsuka nodded and complied. She wanted to know what Tenku's answer to Kohana's request would be.

"I will accompany you to go to the Sapporo Snow Festival. But I can't do it now because winter break will end soon and school will start. So I have to rest to prepare myself. Apart from that, I also have to focus on my duties as a junior Realizer in the organization. Thus, we can plan a vacation together after I have some free time. What do you think, Kohana?" Tenku said softly and stroked Kohana's head.

"Yes, you're right. Winter vacation is almost over, and school is about to start. So we can't go too far because it's tiring." Kohana nodded and folded her arms in thought. It was cute, making Tenku want to pinch the little girl's cheeks. But then Kohana suddenly looks at him.

"Alright, I will obey big brother's words this time. But you can't break your promise! You'll take me to the Sapporo Snow Festival when you have free time! If you lie, I won't be angry at you and won't talk to you anymore! Humph!" Kohana said and then looked away from Tenku.

"I understand. I will keep my promise. I will accompany you wherever you want to go." Tenku replied and smiled.

"Is that true?" Kohana looked at Tenku with a bright face.

"Of course. I won't lie to you." Tenku nodded in response to her question.

"Yay! You are the best, big brother! Unlike big sister, who doesn't allow me to go on vacation with you." Kohana said excitedly. She thought Setsuka and the other girls didn't hear her words as they walked some distance behind. But she was wrong because she said that in a rather loud voice, and her big sister's hearing was very sharp.

"Ooh, so you're saying I'm mean? I am your biological sister here. Then why did you bad-mouth me in front of your big brother?" Setsuka drew closer to Kohana and smiled.

"Hiii! I never said you were mean!" Kohana quickly hugged Tenku tightly and buried her face in him.

"In that case, I will never cook any food for you again." Setsuka threatens.

"Aaah! You can't do that! You have to keep cooking food for me!" Kohana said frantically after she heard her sister's words.

"Ahaha..." Setsuka, Wang Ruyue, and Kirika laughed when they saw Kohana's cute behavior. She only joked with her threat, but the little girl took it seriously.

Tenku smiled as he saw the heartwarming sight. Then he recalled his past when he and his parents laughed together because of the cuteness of his sister.

(Kohana... Haruna... Even though both of them are different people, their characters are similar, and that made me attached to her)

Tenku pondered when she saw the little girl in his arms.

"What's wrong, big brother?" Kohana asked and tilted her head cutely when she noticed that Tenku was looking at her.

"It's nothing. By the way, where do you want to go next?" Tenku shook his head and tried to change the topic of their conversation.

"Of course, we will taste the food here! Let's go to the snack stall!" Kohana raised her hand and said loudly.

Setsuka and the others laughed when they saw that, and Kohana buried her face into Tenku in embarrassment.

After that, they went around the Caretta Shiodome, but Tenku and his group decided to split up. Kirika and the two girls wanted to see the scenery, while Kohana and Tenku went to the snack stall.

The girls were enjoying the illumination at the Caretta Shiodome but were interrupted by someone's voice suddenly coming from behind.

"Sesuka?"

Kirika and the others looked in the direction the voice had come from and found a beautiful girl in a ponytail walking toward them. She is Hijiri Natsukawa, daughter of the head of the Natsukawa family, one of Japan's most powerful Realizer groups. Hijiri is not alone. She was accompanied by a girl the same age as her. She is Keiko Nishizawa, her friend and classmate.

"Hijiri? What are you doing here?" Setsuka said in surprise.

"Keiko and I came to Caretta Shiodome to spend our winter holidays. Then I saw you walking not far from us. At first, I thought that you were just a girl like Setsuka. But then I worked up the courage to greet you and didn't think I was right. By the way, where is Kaede? Aren't you usually always together? Then who are they?" Hijiri replied and looked at the two girls next to Setsuka.

Hijiri recognized her because they were schoolmates, and she was familiar with her figure. On top of that, they had frequent sparring, and she was very familiar with Setsuka's gait.

"Kaede has to spend her winter break with her family. So she can't accompany me. Then they are..." Setsuka intended to introduce Wang Ruyue and Kirika to Hijiri, but Keiko opened her mouth first before she could finish her sentence.

"Aren't you Kirika Miyazaki? You're a popular idol who once appeared at the cultural festival at Suisei High School, right?" Keiko suddenly approached Kirika and said excitedly. She reacted like that because Keiko liked Kirika's songs. Keiko is one of her fans. Thus, she could quickly recognize Kirika even if she wore a mask.

"Ah, yes. You are right." Kirika quickly admits. She replied reflexively because she was surprised Keiko could easily recognize her after she disguised her face.

On the other hand, Hijiri was surprised when she heard that. Although she is focused on training and improving her strength, she knows about Kirika because she is a famous idol. Hijiri didn't expect that Setsuka would come to Caretta Shiodome with her.

"I am one of your fans! Can I have your autograph and take a photo with you?" Keiko became more enthusiastic after hearing the answer from Kirika.

"Yes, you can do that. But could you lower the volume a bit? I don't want people here to recognize me." Kirika smiled bitterly when she heard Keiko's voice.

"Ah! I'm sorry! I subconsciously raised my voice because I was too excited." Keiko said apologetically and lowered her head. She quickly realized her mistake. Kirika wore a mask so she wouldn't be recognized when visiting crowded places, but Keiko forgot because she was too excited.

"You don't need to apologize." Kirika shook her head and smiled. She treats Keiko well because she is her fan. Besides, that girl was Hijiri's best friend.

"Alright, Keiko. You can talk about that later. Aren't you getting too excited than usual?" Hijiri sighed and returned her attention to Setsuka.

"I didn't expect that you befriended an idol and even spent your winter break together. Were you in a fight with Kaede and decided to make new friends? I didn't think you were that kind of person." Hijiri said and smiled playfully.

"Please don't talk nonsense. They are my friends, and I don't discriminate between them. Besides, didn't I tell you why Kaede didn't come with me?" Setsuka responded coldly.

"I understand. I'm just kidding. Then who is the other girl that came with you?" Hijiri turned her eyes toward Wang Ruyue.

"She is Wang Ruyue. She is a Realizer from China and a member of the Wang family. Currently, she is spending her vacation in Japan. So I took him to tour the tourist spots in Tokyo." Setsuka introduced Wang Ruyue to Hijiri. Wang Ruyue nodded slightly, and Hijiri responded with the same gesture.

"Wang family? Do you mean one of the four major families in Beijing?" Hijiri narrowed her eyes after she heard Setsuka's words.

As the daughter of the Natsukawa family, she knows the strongest groups outside of Japan. Although the Wang family had no powerful Realizers, their influence in Beijing was significant because they were an ancient martial arts family.

"Yes, you're right." Setsuka nodded and confirmed it.

"Then how about we spar?" Hijiri said to Wang Ruyue and looked at her with eyes full of fighting spirit.
