"So, the scientist ended up killing himself and the chira. Is that what you are saying?"
Amane asked as she observed the cri scene. Walking was a little difficult for her body right now. But it was nothing she could not handle.
On the other hand, Charlie seed to be in an amazing mood. Anyone who saw her could tell that sothing good had happened to her. But no one dared to ask the divine leader what had put her in such a good mood.
Sean was the only one aware of what happened but he chose to keep quiet for the sake of his sanity. He did not want to imagine his mother figure fucking soone centuries younger than herself.
"Hmm, well, things like these happen occasionally so what can we do? Next ti, be careful and do not let the evidence rot away. Do you understand?"
This one statent caused the listener to break out into goosebumps. All these people were the ones who had seen the divine leader's worst side. They knew that she often did not an what she said.
So, they had learned to lead her moods and in-between her lines.
Surprisingly enough, it seed as if there was no hidden text between Charlie Suzuki's words this ti. She was genuinely happy to be here today.
"Charlie, co here and illuminate this space. I think I can see sothing buried down here. And Sean, next ti you lie, you should think twice. I can figure out how the chira died."
Sean's shoulder tensed as soon as he heard Yoko Tsurugi's words. He knew he would be caught sooner or later, but he did not expect to be caught outright.
Thankfully, it did not seem as if Yoko Tsurugi was angry at him. She looked disappointed and annoyed more than anything else.
"I do not know what you are talking about. I am just telling you what happened and nothing more."
Still, Sean decided to lie just in case he would need plausible denial later.
Amane humd as she heard Sean's lies. But she decided not to press him for answers any further.
After all, it did not matter whether the chira had been killed or not. It only mattered that it had been put to rest and the evidence for its existence had been recorded.
The investigation team was about to leave the hospital when Charlie received a phone call. She picked it up and her happy-go-lucky expression turned into an annoyed one.
Everyone took a step away from her in fear. No one wanted to ask the divine leader what had happened.
"Sean, we need to go. There was a small accident with the press we need to take care of. It seems as if people still do not realize who we are."
Charlie's voice was dark which made everyone feel sorry for the fool who triggered her. Even Sean felt sorry for their opponent before he followed his adoptive mother out.
"Lady Yoko, do not worry. This incident was caused by one of our acquaintances and the divine guild will be the one to solve it. Do not let the social dia get to you."
Sohow, Amane had a faint idea of what happened. But she would make sure of her suspicions once Charlie left.
Amane was sure that the 'Press' incident involved one Ashely Tunner and his social dia following. And if so, then that man was digging his own grave.
"Oh well, it's not my problem."
Amane whispered this as she began to look around the cri scene. There was much to be taken care of here.
"Hey you, hurry up and get so requirents. I need to conduct so tests here."
Amane needed to figure out how the scientist had died. He trusted the professionals at the hospital but Amane still wanted to work with her own hands.
The doctors looked hesitant for a second before they followed her orders and scattered around. Soon, they ca back with a bucket and other tools Amane had asked them for. And Amane began to clean up the area.
......…..
'Ugh, this is so irritating. I cannot believe I need to head back to school so soon.'
The irritation was real. Now Amane could understand why children complained about school so much.
It was because it ate away too much ti into one's daily routine. It was almost like a job you did not get paid for.
"L-Lady Yoko, good morning."
Amane raised her eyebrow in surprise when the first person to greet her was Ely Zhen. The younger had a red face and she could not look Amane in the eyes, but Ely still tried her best to greet Amane.
"Hello. It is nice to see you again. Did you get ho safely that day?"
Amane's question caused Ely to go even redder in the face. Amane was almost afraid that Ely would faint due to the flow of blood toward her face.
"I…I am alright. M-Moreover, Lady Yoko, I do not believe what the people are saying. I trust in you and your judgnt."
Ely Zhen's voice was strong as she proclaid her trust in Amane. It caused a lot of people to look away from her.
Amane had not even noticed that these people had been uncomfortable until now. But now that he paid attention to it, he could not unsee it.
"Morning Yoko. I heard the news about you. Man, what did you do to piss off such?"
Faridha asked as she took a seat adjacent to Amane. Emma also took a seat, but she was a lot more hesitant.
Now that Amane had company, Ely decided to back off and make herself scarce. That was sothing Amane would need to work on with her later.
But for now, Amane was more interested in knowing what was happening. She had not gotten a lot of information from the people around her. And Amane had also not gotten any ti to open the net.
"Faridha, give a quick rundown of the situation. I want to know what is going on but I do not want to open the net."
Amane asked casually. Her words caused Faridha to laugh out loud for so reason. Even Emma looked surprised at her words.
Not only those two, but the whole class was looking at Amane like she was a freak. Who does not browse the internet these days? And if you did browse it, you should be aware of what was going on.
But it seed 'Yoko Tsurugi' was an exception to this rule. And she also seed not to care about the news about herself.
"Ugh. Just how unaware are you of your circumstances? But fine, I will tell you what you missed. You are all over the internet as a 'cold and heartless' lady who kills off beasts as she pleases."
Amane was not even surprised at this news. Well, there was a lot of truth mixed in with that statent.
Amane was a cold and heartless lady when it ca to beasts. But you needed to be strong-willed and ready to make big decisions when you were dealing with another life.
"Hmm, is that all? I thought the news was sothing bigger since there were a lot of talks about it."
Amane's unbothered expression caused her classmates to flinch. They were surprised to see that Amane did not even care about her circumstances.
"You seriously do not care? This sparked a debate across all the platforms. Soone let it be known that you killed off a beast in pain when it could have been saved. Now people are against you."
Amane did not care about people's opinions. Those who did not deal with beasts regularly had no right to criticize her actions. And those who did would agree that Amane did the right thing.
There was no need to make a beast suffer more than it needed to.
"You know, it could negatively affect your business in the future. Public opinion is not sothing you need, but it is sothing you want on your side."
Emma spoke up for the first ti. And her words were the ones that struck Amane the most.
She did not care about public opinion, but she did care about her business and her future carefree life.
And it seed like this incident was going to affect her future slacker life.
'Ugh, I hate the modern world. There are too many complications to take care of.'
Now, things could not be helped. Amane needed to clear the situation on her own.
"Oh, the divine guild put forth a statent. I wonder what they would say. They do not usually co out to speak about such topics in the open."
Amane knew what this article was about. But even she was frozen stiff once she finished reading it.
Soone had leaked the news about the chira. And now the public had raised in upload once more. Things were about to get ssy again.
