The Reincarnation Room
IU Target

From Riko's words, Ryan finally understood why Riko was so obsessed with wanting to defeat Aria, and proved that he could surpass his great-grandfather.

As Riko herself said earlier, all this is for freedom. An important thing that has been taken away from him since he was 8 years old.

"You've suffered enough, Riko." When Ryan said it, Ryan immediately grabbed Riko's body.

"Now you're free, Riko. I'll make sure you can serve your sentence more lightly."

Hearing Ryan's soft voice, as well as the warmth from Ryan's embrace, Riko sobbed.

"Huaaaaaa …"

This is not a cry of sorrow, but a cry of freedom. All the heavy burden that was in Riko's heart finally came off.

Ryan could only gently caress Riko's hair and let Riko cry in her arms.

Although Riko has a sad background, but still Riko is Butei Killer, who is known to have killed many Butei. This is certainly a very serious crime.

After all, this world had its own laws, unlike the Kabaneri worlds of The Iron Fortress and God Eater, where the applicable laws were the laws of the jungle. 

Therefore, legally applicable, Riko still has to pay for everything he has done.

Ryan himself is not a clean man. There have been many humans Ryan has killed in the previous two worlds. 

So, Ryan does not want to be a hypocrite who blames Riko for his actions. 

After all, if there was no rule that a Butei should not kill under any circumstances, Ryan would now be famous as a slaughterer.

After an hour of crying, Riko finally calmed down.

"Ri-Ri .. thank you ..." whispered Riko.

Ryan then took off his embrace and looked directly into Riko's eyes. "Riko, be my girlfriend!"

Riko's eyes widened to hear Ryan's love statement. He did not expect, the man he had long dreamed of would express his feelings to him. Moreover, Riko had done bad things to her many times.

"Are you willing to accept this filthy me?" riko said with a sad expression.

"What do you mean dirty?"

"You remember, Riko was only considered a farm animal by Vlad, with the aim of producing a superior Lupin offspring."

Hearing Riko's explanation, Ryan finally realized what Vlad had done. That's why Riko calls himself dirty.

'I really want to kill him! He had stained Riko just to get the superior gene!'

This overflowing feeling of wanting to kill made the usual killing air of Ryan press burst out.

The hospital room suddenly went cold. Riko could not breathe under this kind of pressure. "Ri-Ri, what happened? Why am I suddenly so claustrophobic?"

Hearing Riko's voice, Ryan finally realized what he had done. Ryan immediately pushed back the air to kill him. In an instant, the atmosphere of the room where Riko was being treated returned to normal.

"I'm sorry, Riko. I'm just mad at what Vlad did to you."

"But I'll never think you're dirty. If anyone dares to say it, I will beat him to a disability!" firmly Ryan.

Riko was touched by Ryan's words. While shedding tears, Riko said, "If Ri-Ri doesn't matter with this dirty me, then the answer is 'Yes'. Riko is willing to be Ri-Ri's boyfriend."

Riko smiled as she said it. But this time it was no longer the fake smile that Riko had shown, but rather a truly sincere happy smile from her deepest heart.

Ryan then scratched his nose and said, "I also hope you will accept the fact that I have many women."

"Riko wants to accept Ri-Ri as she is. It is only natural that strong men like Ri-Ri attract a lot of attention of the opposite sex. Most importantly, don't leave Riko alone."

The atmosphere between the two of them was truly warm. Unknowingly, the two kissed each other.

After a few minutes of kissing, the two of them finally let go of the kiss.

"Riko, I'll make your punishment as light as possible. But the crime of murder is very serious. I will try my best to help you." Ryan said, clasping Riko's hand.

"But I didn't kill anyone. During the course of my actions, I never once took the life of my victim."

"The name Butei Killer itself is the name that the public gave me. But really, I didn't kill Butei at all."

'Don't kill anyone?'

'How is it possible?!'

'Based on the news and also the results of the Genesis Case, it was very clear that the Butei Killer had killed many Butei. In fact, many of the victims are already in a state of complete absence.'

'If Riko didn't kill anyone, where would these people go?'

Thinking of this, in Ryan's mind suddenly flashed an idea. "IU."

Ryan's words were clearly heard by Riko.

"As expected of my girlfriend, you are truly an S rank Butei. You can easily guess it." 

"Do you know what kind of organization IU is?" ask Riko.

Ryan replied based on the information Aria provided. "I heard it a little bit from Aria. He said IU is a criminal organization that many countries fear."

Riko shook his head. "It's not like that."

"Indeed within IU, there are many criminals who join. But, at first, IU was actually just a Training Institution."

"In the second World War, Japan and Germany worked together to create a Super Human Training Institute, where participants were people with Special Abilities."

"The purpose of creating this institution was to win the second World War. They want to create an army of special-skilled people."

"However, after the defeat of Germany and Japan, the members of this Training Institute fled using Submarines."

"If their home country has lost, the Training Institute continues its philosophy, which is to develop Special Abilities from its members."

“In IU, everyone will exchange their Techniques as well as their Special Abilities. With their more advanced genetic technology, they can do such a thing."

"Then from that, I joined IU, and managed to obtain the Special Ability of hair manipulation."

"With IU getting stronger, many countries are worried. What's more, IU does not side with any country. So nothing else can limit the progression of IU."

"Without caring about the world's countries, IU continues to gather talented people to increase the strength of the organization."

"Even if that recruitment target was a Butei, provided she had Special Abilities, then IU would definitely recruit her."

"But, a Butei should not join an organization like this. Therefore, we kidnapped them and faked his death."

"We only really kill when things don't go well."

In other words, the Butei Killer did not actually kill its victims. Instead they were simply kidnapped and taken to IU.

"It is fitting that many big countries are afraid of this organization" Ryan said.

"This is why I joined IU." Riko lowered her head and whispered, "With such a strong organization, I can definitely learn a lot of Special Abilities and defeat Vlad."

"Unfortunately, Vlad came after me and joined IU. In a short time, Vlad became the number two in IU."

"As Riko continues to train to be strong, Vlad also sucks a lot of blood from the talented people in IU, which makes him stronger."

"But Vlad is now defeated by you." Riko looked at Ryan with a happy expression. "I'm really grateful to you." Riko lowered her body in front of Ryan.

Seeing this, Ryan smiled warmly. "Next .. now, and so on, Vlad will not appear again in your life." 

Hearing Ryan's words, Riko became a little unpleasant. He looked at Ryan with a serious face. "Before, I wanted to apologize to you."

"Actually, other than me challenging you to a duel, I am also on a mission from IU. That's to keep you away from Level 5 kidnapping targets."

"After that, the other IU members will kidnap her while you're not around."

Hearing Riko's words, Ryan got an unpleasant premonition.

However, Riko's speech after this made him surprised and also rose apitam.

"The kidnapping target this time was the best disciple of Supernatural Selective Research Division of Butei High School."

"Milk Shirayuki."
