Chapter 106
Tokyo Area 39, Fairy Tail guild…
On the way back, Noah greeted the Fairy Tail members who passed by . Walking towards his own home in auto-pilot mode, he started sinking deeper into his own thoughts .
After a year of operation, Fairy Tail has gone over more than just providing education, healthcare, career development, and housing for the cursed children . A lot of established IP pairs also lived here in harmony .
the teachers that taught in the schools also preferred to stay here than going back to the city . The same could be said of personnel assigned to hospitals and career development facilities . These people treated cursed children like humans so it’s a blessing to have them around . Others did side gigs like peddling and selling stuff here .
Fairy Tail is now more or less it’s own tiny little town . It’s a very wholesome town even if it lacked some facilities when compared to larger cities and metropoles .
Noah suddenly saw Seitenshi’s figure being displayed on a TV screen nearby .
She’s on the news channel . On the screen, Seitenshi had a very dignified expression, she insisted on a second tabling of the legislation providing basic human rights for cursed children .
The <<Revised Gastrea Law>> is a hot debate for people living in the Tokyo Area .
It’s the legislation that indirectly brought about the appearance of a zodiac Gastrea, the Scorpio .
Truth be told, Noah liked Seitenshi’s character .
Noah knew she cared for the cursed children . In other nations, the cursed children are living in hell on earth .
In the 5 areas within this nation, other cursed children in other areas are treated more like vermins than humans .
Compared to those areas, the cursed children living in Tokyo Area had it good .
Seitenshi looked at cursed children like pitiable war refugees, she even proposed a law to safeguard their basic rights . As touted in the news and rumors, she is someone who symbolized kindness and justice . Through her actions, the cursed children in Tokyo Area generally fared better than other areas .
Comparatively speaking, anyway, in reality, more needs to be done .
Noah heard grim tales of how newborns are drowned in the river because they were born as cursed children .
It breaks his heart just thinking about this .
Noah wants her <<Revised Gastrea Act>> to go through .
However, that might be hard to realize .
With or without the <<Revised Gastrea Act>>, Fairy Tail will still operate as a sanctuary for cursed children .
For Noah, the best-case scenario would be the passing of that bill, even so, if it got rejected, he would just be disappointed, it’s not it’s his first disappointment with the city .
At least, that’s how Noah thought before now .
He witnessed Seitenshi doing her best while maintaining an aura of dignity and sternness against the harsh questions posed by the media . This is in stark contrast to her weak side shown during his private talk with Seitenshi .
“Looks like she’s got her work cut out for her…”
Noah gripped his fist, a cold glint flashed in his eyes .
“As expected, Tendo Kikunojo, you’re the obstacle I have to tear down for the children’s happiness . ”
Noah started thinking harder about his plans from now on as well as how various other issues might come into play .
===
Noah opened the door to his home . The people of this nation have the habit of saying [Tadaima (I’m home] when they return .
But, Noah isn’t a person of this country or even this world, naturally, he didn’t pick up this habit .
Moreover, Noah lived by himself, even if he said it, who would respond to him?
Well, he’s in for a surprise because…
“Welcome home!”
Noah flinched and he rolled his eyes .
“Kisara, Rentaro, and Enju, why are the three of you here?”
“Does my presence displeases you greatly?”
Enju puffed her cheeks .
“I came here after school just to see you . ”
“Since you’re that free, maybe you should revise your coursework?”
Noah sighed . He turned towards Kisara and Rentaro .
“And you two? Why?”
“Ma . ”
Rentaro scratched the back of his head .
“We came to see Enju, we tagged along when she said she’s coming over . ”
“It’s not just us . ”
Kisara winked and she pulled out a person hiding behind her .
“We saw this young one skulking around so we brought her inside as well . ”
Noah is puzzled .
Kisara pressed down on the girl’s shoulder so she wouldn’t shy away from his sight . This girl had a cold demeanor, she also wore an expressionless face . She seemed like quiet type of girl .
“You are…”
Noah searched his memories before he guessed her identity .
“I believe you’re Kayo, an initiator?”
“Pleasure to make your acquaintance, I’m Senju Kayo . ”
Kayo bowed respectfully . Her eyes contained wisdom seldom seen in kids her age .
“We’ve met once during the defense briefing . ”
She’s the initiator of that ruffian-esque promoter known as Shougen Ikuma .
“I want to extend my gratitude to you . ”
Kayo settled her calm eyes on Noah’s figure .
“You’ve given me so much by placing me under your protection . ”
Noah more or less knew why she’s here .
A while ago, a bunch of IP pairs went after Kagetani Hiruko only to get their butts handed to them in return .
Among them, Shougen got killed in action like other promoters that went after Kagetani . Meanwhile, Kagetani took their cursed children initiators as hostages to be used against Noah .
Now that the ruffian is dead, Kayo who survived the ordeal is without a promoter .
After the kids woke up, Noah gave them two choices: They can return to International Initiator Supervising Organization for reassignment, or join Fairy Tail .
All 30 Initiators chose to join Fairy Tail .
Kayo chose to join Fairy Tail too .
“It’s only a small help on my part, don’t worry too much about it .
He squatted down and he rubbed her head, her quiet demeanor made her look like a fuzzy little hamster, he just couldn’t resist petting her .
“Well? How do you like it so far?”
Noah’s soft tone pierced her heart, Kayo is too stunned to think of anything to say .
He’s as warm as the rumors claimed…
