Good person, the hell!

Seiji almost retorted out loud.

If you want me to do something for you, just that information alone wont suffice, Seiji finally spoke up. I want to know what exactly happened. Why did things outside become like that?

Youre not helping me here, youre helping your sister

Im not arrogant enough to think that Yui needs my help! Seiji stated decisively. Perhaps she really is in a bad situation in the Realm of Cherry Blossoms like you say, but I highly doubt that she wont be able to handle things or that she cant even escape! Stop pretending to be an idiot!

That was Qilin Girl Yui Haruta, his older sister who was who knew how many times stronger than he was! There was no way she would easily be endangered. And even if she was in the middle of a crisis, she would surely be able to pull through.

If Seiji confirmed that Yui truly did need help, he would unhesitatingly help her. But, since things werent certain right now, he would first think about whether or not his older sister truly needed his assistance.

He felt that it was unlikely, as Yui was truly strong, unmistakably strong.

Going to help her without even knowing what was going on would not only be foolish, it would also be arrogant of him.

Still, the foundational reason why he wasnt going immediately was because the person who said she was in danger was Itsuki Kamitani, a high-ranked member of the Messengers, someone who was completely untrustworthy.

Kamitani fell silent for a moment before he started chuckling.

You actually saw through me so easily. I thought that you would at least be slightly shaken, my bro Haruta. Its as you think. I doubt that youll have to worry about her. Shes the Qilin Girl, after all. She wont die that easily. Although its not absolutely necessary for me to have you go find Voidfire-kun, just think of this as a big gift from me to you. As you wanted, Ill tell you some more information.

Kamitani paused for a moment before going on.

As for why things out there became like this, that was caused by us Messengers. However, this wasnt what we originally intended. Our plan failed, in combination with unexpected outside factors. Simply speaking, we made a mess of things.

Our original objective was to stop Soul Society from sacrificing innocent citizens in order to summon the Realm of Cherry Blossoms. We also considered the possible consequences of our failure. But as you can see now, things are far worse than anyone expected.

Heeheehee, an evil organization acted for the sake of justice, but made the situation far worse in the end. How truly interesting, hahaha

Kamitani started laughing out loud. Seiji could tell from his tone that he was truly amused from the bottom of his heart.

Naturally, Seiji didnt laugh at any of this. Instead, he furrowed his eyebrows.

Although this bastardKamitani was obviously quite twisted, it didnt seem like he was lying or at least, this didnt seem like a complete lie.

Why would the Messengers want to stop Soul Society from sacrificing innocent citizens? Seiji inquired.

Like I said, for the noble cause of justice! Kamitani smiled while extending his palms. The person who was in charge of our failed plan is that Voidfire-kun whom I want you to contact. He really is a good person, a good person who believes in justice.

Justice Something flashed in Seijis eyes.

At this moment, he really did somewhat want to meet this person who was codenamed Voidfire.

But regrettably, the result of his pursuit of justice was that hes now endangered several million people! This is thousands of times more of a potential sacrifice compared to what Soul Society wanted to do. This is truly beautiful evil without comparison, completely befitting of our organizations image, heeheehee Kamitani kept chuckling unstoppably.

His voice didnt contain a single trace of sarcasm. He was simply delighted because he felt that all of this was interesting.

But from a certain standpoint, this made him all the more frightening.

An action taken for the sake of justice that ended up causing a far worse result than expected. Was that evil?

If there had to be an answer, Seiji felt that from the viewpoint of the victims, this would be evil.

No matter what noble purposes or objectives the perpetrator had, that wouldnt lessen the pain of the victims one bit.

Right now, the only part worth celebrating was that the situation wasnt one of absolute despair quite yet. The victims were still alive well, most of them were still alive. If this incident was resolved in time, they could all be saved!

I highly doubt that you Messengers would act for the sake of justice, or at least not purely for the sake of justice. There must have been benefits involved that you could obtain. Seiji looked directly at Kamitani. As for what exactly you guys did I guess that youre going to make me ask that Voidfire.

You knew exactly what I would say. You truly understand me, my bro Haruta. As expected of my best friend!

The hell with being your best friend!! Seiji finally couldnt resist retorting anymore. The very fact that I know what youre going to say next disgusts me its just like knowing what type of stench that rotten meat will let off.

Thats so terrible of you to say! Im not rotten meat, Im human!! Kamitani countered.

But you didnt deny the part about you being rotten

Oh, right. I should have said that I was a noble human!

If youre the noble type, then everyone else in the world is a saint.

Thank you for the praise~

I wasnt praising you! Seiji used a classical retort.

He then forced himself to calm down. After he calmed down, he asked another question. What needs to be done in order to resolve this incident and return the outside world to normal?

Its quite simple. All you have to do is kill the Catastrophe Goddess whos caused all this, Kamitani replied instantly.

Catastrophe Goddess

Shes the strongest and most vicious monster who rules over the Realm of Cherry Blossoms. According to Soul Societys threat level standards, her danger level surpasses even that of Demon Kings. Shes in her own individual Catastrophe Goddess level, so were calling her the Sakura Catastrophe Goddess.

Sakura Catastrophe Goddess so that was Soul Society and the Messengers name for the Evil White Sakura Goddess. Seiji nodded in understanding.

A dangerousCatastrophe Goddess threat thats far stronger than a Demon King level threat. Who has the ability to kill such an existence?

From what I know, not a single person is capable of taking her on as an individual.

Is there some type of plan? Since it would be necessary to cooperate, then a plan would be necessary as well.

Let me enact the god-slaying plan right now. Please help me in saving the world together! Oh, my best friend! Kamitani theatrically opened up his arms for a mock embrace.

Seiji responded with an icy glare.

This Kamitani bastard was absolutely untrustworthy. But, with the real worlds situation being so bad right now, no matter whoa person wasor what faction they belonged to, it would be absolutely necessary to stand united against this common threat, unless it was possible to run away.

With the situation being so bad, why arent you making your escape? For someone like you, you probably dont care no matter what happens to this city. Even if millions or even tens of millions of people die, youll probably think that everything is interesting.

Because Im unable to escape, Kamitani replied.

Unable to escape? That indeed sounded like a good reason.

Kamitani didnt even try to deny the other parts of Seijis statement.

That was because Seiji was completely correct. Even if the city was destroyed or countless people died, it would be truly interesting to him.

Is it that you dont have the ability to escape? Or, is it that you can escape, but people will hunt you down afterwards? Seiji asked this next question while narrowing his eyes.

Kamitani fell silent for another moment.

Why do you ask this?

You know why I ask, Seiji spoke in a cold tone.

Kamitani chuckled upon hearing this.

As expected of my best friend, my bro Haruta. Youve seen through me yet again. Indeed, I can escape from here, but its likely that Ill be hunted down until the day I die. Although being hunted will also be quite interesting, I dont want to live such a life just yet. So, Ill just have to stay behind here and do my own things.

Seiji looked directly at Kamitani while slowly releasing killing intent as he spoke his next words.

You just what exactly have you done?
