Then, Kisara Tendo smiled and looked at Rentaro: "Satomi-san, please~"
Rentaro swallowed hard, then walked toward Tendo Kisara's office.
Kisara Tendo slammed the office door shut.
"Um... Mr. Satomi... I hope nothing bad has happened to him."
Li Xiang pointed worriedly in the direction of the office.
"Don't worry, Rentaro won't die!"
"Hmm... President Tendo won't kill you."
Hearing the two little girls' answers, Li Xiang could only silently pray for his newly acquainted, albeit cheap, brother.
I hope he won't get beaten to death.
The perspective shifts to the office.
"Do you have any last words, Satomi?"
Rentaro turned his head away; he was still a little guilty.
"You big idiot!"
Kisara Tendo threw a punch at Rentaro, but Rentaro easily dodged it.
"Rentaro! What exactly are you trying to do?!"
"They suddenly came back with a stranger and a child, and then said they hoped we could keep them!"
"Do you think our company's money grows on trees?! The company is on the verge of bankruptcy, and instead of focusing on making money, you've picked up two weirdos... and a bird!"
Do you think my company is a refugee camp?
Tendo Kisara Asa Rentaro complained.
But Rentaro shrugged and said, "He's from another world."
"Rentaro Satomi, at least come up with a decent excuse. Someone from another world? Are you still a child?"
Kisara Tendo grabbed Rentaro by the collar... standing on tiptoe, glaring at him angrily, like an angry pufferfish.
“But… Yeonju and I saw with our own eyes that he used a single ray of light to revive the white bird in the child’s arms outside.”
Tendo Kisara opened his mouth wide, and his face twitched.
“If you don’t believe me, you can ask Enju… It is indeed unbelievable, but that’s the truth… He resurrected a bird that had already died.”
Kisara Tendo immediately realized the importance of this matter and began pacing back and forth in his office.
Could this power be brought about by gastritis?
Or is it really just otherworldly technology, as Rentaro said?
Moreover, the man was wearing a strange white uniform with the word "TPC" on it.
TPC? Never heard of it.
Could they really be from another world...?
Whether or not they are from another world, the ability to bring the dead back to life is just too unscientific!
Li Xiang... this strange person who suddenly appeared.
What is the purpose of coming here?
"Rentaro, do you really trust that guy that much?"
Kisara Tendo chose to ask Rentaro for his opinion. Although she was the company president, she did rely on Rentaro a lot.
"Yes, I choose to believe him."
Rentaro gave his answer.
"First, regardless of whether he is from another world or not, he has no reason to deliberately approach us, because there is absolutely no need! That ability to bring the dead back to life must be accompanied by corresponding strength, otherwise how could he dare to run around so openly?"
"So it can only be because he has enough self-defense capabilities, and such self-defense capabilities must be extremely terrifying! Because it is the ability to bring the dead back to life, countless people would fight for this ability, so he must have the strength to ignore everything, which is why he dares to openly display the ability to bring the dead back to life in front of outsiders."
Rentaro is absolutely right.
It is a crime for an ordinary man to carry a jade without any guilt!
In this kind of world, such power is an absolute temptation for those corrupt high-ranking officials!
If Li Xiang didn't possess absolute power to crush everything in the world, he wouldn't have been able to so easily display this ability to bring the dead back to life!
Therefore, if Li Xiang possesses such overwhelming power, there is no need for him to contact Tiantong Civil Security Company.
Hilarious! The two of them are quite self-aware; they know exactly who they are and what their abilities are.
The world of these big shots is not something Tiantong Civil Security Company is qualified to participate in.
Rentaro continued speaking, but his tone... suddenly became low and somber.
"Secondly, I saw... he wept for the child's plight."
Rentaro looked at Tendo Kisara.
"Tendo, can you... shed tears for those children outside who are harmed and called the Cursed Children?"
Rentaro's question stunned Tendo Kisei.
She did indeed sympathize with those children…yes, sympathize.
She simply sympathized with the children and the suffering they endured.
But they never cried for them.
"Isn't that strange? In this world, are there really people who would cry for those cursed children?"
Rentaro suddenly clenched his fists, his face grim as he faced Tendo Kisara.
But he did it—
"I saw Li Xiang with my own eyes... crying for a child who had nothing to do with him!"
"I could feel that Li Xiang was genuinely grieving after learning about the child's ordeal, and it was because of this grief that he was crying!"
As he spoke, Rentaro's own eyes welled up with tears.
"—And self-blame!"
"Tendo, can you believe that he actually feels guilty about what happened to that child?"
"All the suffering that child endured had absolutely nothing to do with him!"
"—But ironically, it was he who blamed himself!"
Rentaro turned away, not wanting Tendo Kisara to see the tears on his face.
"Why is he blaming himself! What right does he have to blame himself! He's clearly an outsider!"
"He didn't cause that child's suffering, nor did he create the despair in this world!"
Rentaro punched the wall with a "thud".
He was venting his anger, venting his anger at his past incompetence!
"The one who should blame myself... is me...!!!"
"It's my fault for not saving Xia Shi... I didn't even cry for her..."
"All along, I thought I didn't cry because I didn't want Xia Shi to see my tears... because I needed to be strong, because I needed to protect everyone! But actually, it was all because of my uselessness that Xia Shi died..."
"Seeing Li Xiang's heartfelt grief and self-blame, I realized that I had never truly thought about those children... I have always been a selfish person—a complete and utter selfish person!"
Rentaro pulled his fist out of the wall, then looked at Tendo Kisara with tears streaming down his face.
"Tendo... what should I do?"
Tendo Kisara didn't know how to comfort Rentaro.
Because she herself was the same, even more selfish than Rentaro, and never thought about those children.
So... all she could do was go up and hug Rentaro tightly.
Chapter 55 What resurrected Sheila was—light!
Compared to Rentaro and Kisara Tendo in the office, the people in the living room were much more harmonious.
Enju Aihara and Tina introduced themselves to each other.
Yeonju is a more lively girl; her twin ponytails are always swinging back and forth, like a lively ginger cat.
Tina, on the other hand, seemed more shy, speaking slowly and deliberately; she was a very thoughtful and gentle child.
Yeonju and Tina present a stark contrast.
"Mr. Li Xiang, you said you come from another world. Could you tell us about your experiences in that other world?"
Yanzhu swung her pigtails and jumped onto the coffee table, then familiarly inquired about Li Xiang's affairs.
"Hey, Enju...isn't this a bit impolite?"
Tina dragged Yanzhu off the coffee table.
"And you've dirtied the coffee table!"
"Hey hey hey."
Yeonjoo grinned foolishly, then obediently took a rag and wiped her footprints clean on the coffee table.
Li Xiang found it amusing to watch the two children playfully fighting.
"Do you all want to hear the story of my world?"
Li Xiang has no need to hide his world or his identity as a person from another world.
Moreover, curiosity is the driving force that motivates children to learn about the world.
If possible, he wants to satisfy the children's curiosity.
"Mr. Li Xiang, is it really possible? This is the first time I've ever met someone from another world, so I'm very curious!" Yan Zhu exclaimed excitedly, then picked up a rag and stepped on the coffee table.
Tina shook her head helplessly, then looked at Li Xiang and said, "Mr. Li Xiang, I'd also like to know what the other world is like!"
