Realizer of Death : The Reaper



Tenku, Setsuka, Kaede, and Wang Ruyue are enjoying their vacation at the Sapporo Snow Festival. He smiled when he saw the happy expressions on their faces. Even though Wang Ruyue and the other two girls had only known each other briefly, they seemed to be quite close. They are like a friend even though sometimes they fight over something trivial. Tenku felt relieved after seeing that.

They visited several of the festival's food stalls and took photos of the many ice sculptures. Apart from that, Tenku and the others also enjoyed live music and other entertainment. After exploring less than half of the Sapporo Snow Festival, they decided to find a nearby restaurant as it was already lunchtime.

"By the way, when do you want to receive your prizes? I don't want to be in debt to you." Tenku asked the three girls after they finished their lunch. They still have quite a long time until the evening. So Tenku intends to fulfill his promise to Setsuka and the others.

He still didn't know what they meant by asking for his time. Tenku thought they wanted some alone time with him without being bothered by the others. So what he had to do was accompany them and nothing more. Tenku didn't mind doing so because he had special feelings for Setsuka and Wang Ruyue. But he was hesitant to spend time alone with Kaede because they were just friends, and their relationship wouldn't be that close if it weren't for Setsuka.

Tenku wanted to discuss the matter with Kaede and give her another gift. But after seeing her happy face and knowing that the girl didn't mind, Tenku didn't do that. Even though he felt strange about Kaede's recent behavior, he didn't think too deeply about it. Tenku thought that Kaede just wanted to join in the fun with the other two girls.

"How about we do it now? We talked about this matter last night. We agreed that the first person to receive your prize would be Kaede. Second is Ruyue, and last is me." Setsuka said, and the other two nodded to her words.

Tenku looked at the three girls and found that Wang Ruyue's expression was slightly sullen. It might be related to her loss to Setsuka yesterday.

"I have no problem with that as long as the three of you agree." Tenku smiled at them.

"That's good! You can leave this restaurant with Kaede first. Ruyue and I will stay here since I want to discuss something with her." Setsuka looked at Tenku and then at Kaede meaningfully.

"I understand." Tenku nodded and turned his eyes to Kaede.

"Then where do you want to go?" Tenku asked.

"How about we walk around the festival for a while? I'm sure there are still many interesting shows and entertainment we haven't seen yet." Kaede preferred the shows and other entertainment over looking at the giant ice sculptures because she had been to the Sapporo Snow Festival with her family several times and was tired of it.

"Sure, I'll accompany you wherever you want to go." Tenku replied gently.

"Let's go now! We only have one hour!" Kaede said excitedly. She didn't want to waste any time because she wanted to use the opportunity to get closer to Tenku. Kaede wanted the same starting line and position as Wang Ruyue and Setsuka. Subconsciously, Kaede intends to compete for a man with her best friend.

She didn't care about her status as a senior to Tenku in high school. Currently, Kaede is just a girl who wants to be close to the man she's attracted to.

"Alright." Tenku answered curtly, and they quickly left the restaurant. After the two disappeared from the scene, Wang Ruyue looked at Setsuka and opened her mouth.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Wang Ruyue asked.

"I don't know." Setsuka sighed and shook her head.

"You should already know about her feelings for Tenku, right?" Wang Ruyue narrowed her eyes at Setsuka.

"Yes, I know. I can realize it without having to use my intuition as a woman. I'm not blind. I could see the change in her expression when his eyes met Tenku." Setsuka answered weakly.

"Did you two fall in love with Tenku at the same time?" Wang Ruyue asked another question.

"No. She wasn't like that before. Kaede was the first person to support my relationship with Tenku. But I started to feel strange about her after our last mission. I noticed that Kaede's behavior became weird when she met Tenku.

It might be related to Tenku's identity. After Kaede learned about it, her attitude toward him changed slightly. At first, I thought it was just Kaede's admiration for him. She is no different from other girls because she also likes strong men." Setsuka stopped her words. She drank the juice in her glass to moisten her throat and opened her mouth again.

"But after a few days passed, I felt that Kaede's feelings for Tenku were not as simple as I thought. She's been contacting him more often, whether by text or phone. Besides, I caught her looking at Tenku several times, and her face blushed. Even though she tries to hide it, I still know. Therefore, I realized Kaede's feelings. Not only did she admire Tenku, but she also had affection for him." Setsuka ended her explanation.

"Then, why did you let her alone with Tenku? Doesn't that mean she is also your love rival? You shouldn't give her the chance to spend time with him." Wang Ruyue frowned after hearing her words.

She felt displeased that Setsuka had added another rival for her. Wang Ruyue had enough headaches with Setsuka and Kirika, so she didn't want another girl to appear around Tenku. It will make it even more difficult to get the best place in Tenku's heart because all her opponents are not inferior to her.

"I just want to give her a chance for my best friend to understand her feelings." Setsuka replied.

"What do you mean?" Wang Ruyue asked in confusion.

"Even though I realized that Kaede is interested in Tenku as the opposite sex, my best friend still doesn't seem sure about her feelings. So I wanted to give them some time alone and wanted Kaede to confirm her feelings for Tenku.

Did she fall in love with him, just like you and me, or was it just a feeling of adoration because Tenku was so strong? I want her to realize it herself." Setsuka looked in the direction Tenku and Kaede had left.

"What will you do if that girl falls in love with Tenku?" Wang Ruyue said seriously.

"Don't you already know the answer? Of course, I will compete with her! I loved Tenku before her! Although she is my best friend, I will never give up the man I love.

I will fight with all my might, even if my opponent is Kaede. After all, I will win Tenku's heart regardless of who my rival is." Setsuka said confidently. That sentence was her declaration of war to all the girls who tried to get close to Tenku. Of course, Wang Ruyue, Kirika, and Kaede were included.

"Yeah, you're right. Unfortunately, the one who will win his heart is me." Wang Ruyue smiled broadly in response to Setsuka's words.

"Then, we will see which of us will get the biggest place in his heart." Setsuka said provocatively.

"That should be my line." Wang Ruyue looked at Setsuka fearlessly. They stare at each other intently, and a spark forms between them. Then the two girls chuckled together.

"If I had known the situation would turn out like this, I would have brought Yuxin here. I feel like you and your best friend are ganging up on me." Wang Ruyue sighed.

"Yuxin? Is she the girl with you and Tenku when the double space collapse occurred in Beijing?" Setsuka raised her eyebrows after she heard a familiar name. In a video on the Holy Union forum, she discovered the identities of the two girls she had seen with Tenku. One was Wang Ruyue, and the other was Huang Yuxin. Setsuka was sure that the person Wang Ruyue meant in her words was that girl.

"I didn't expect that you also found out about Yuxin. Yes, you are right. She was another girl who fought alongside Tenku in the double space collapse in Beijing." Wang Ruyue was slightly surprised after hearing that Setsuka knew Huang Yuxin. But then he realized that the girl had been investigating her friend's identity, just like she had done with her.

"Of course, I have to know who the people who will be my rivals are." Setsuka replied calmly. But in her heart, she was grateful that Huang Yuxin did not come to Japan with Wang Ruyue.

Unlike Setsuka and Kaede, Wang Ruyue and Huang Yuxin understood each other's feelings. If the four of them were to compete, Setsuka was sure that she and Kaede would lose to them.

"Is that so? Then, what shall we do now? Do you want to stay in this restaurant for one hour?" Wang Ruyue did not discuss the matter any further. She felt bored because she had been in the restaurant too long and wanted to leave immediately.

"How about we take a quick tour around the festival while waiting for Kaede's time to end? We can look at other ice sculptures or buy traditional Japanese food. I'm sure there are still many snacks that you haven't tasted." Setsuka said.

"That is a good idea! Then, what are you waiting for? Let's go now!" Wang Ruyue spoke and got up from her seat. Setsuka nodded and followed her. Afterward, the two girls left the restaurant.

Meanwhile, Tenku and Kaede had been wandering around the festival for quite some time. They enjoyed the shows and entertainment at the place. Tenku could see the happy expression on the girl's face. Even though she used to look gentle and calm at school, she now looks like a little girl.

"You shouldn't have to participate in their game. I can give you another prize if you want. Of course, I won't be able to give you something too expensive." Tenku suddenly said to Kaede.

"I don't mind about this. After all, it wasn't them who dragged me into this race but vice versa. Besides, I am also asking Setsuka and Wang Ruyue to split the prize from the winner." Kaede answered and ate the cotton candy in her hand.

"Why?" Tenku asked curiously.

"I have no particular reason. I just want to spend time alone with you." Kaede looked Tenku straight in the eye and smiled sweetly.
