I become a Living Cheat.

Chapter 41: I really wanted to hear those words

Behind the facility was a forest. The path that Taiyou opened up by creating a hole in the wall, did not lead to a road, instead Yurikago had to weave and dash between the trees. Holding the memory card that held the data firmly in her hand, as long as she had this, she could stop the plans that Sakura perpetuated.

「By the way, there's been something that got me curious」

Hera was talking to Yurikago, Hera was an existence she could not fathom until moments ago.

「What is it?」

「Yurikago-chan, aren't you supposed to be the next head of your family? Doesn't that mean, that you are in a higher position compared to Sakura-chan?」

「......My rank is higher」

「Is that so? then in that case, can't you just order her to stop, and that will be the end of it 〜?」

Hera was without a doubt asking her about the Blood Soul Project. And Yurikago understood that it was a very natural question to ask.

Putting on a disguise, and coming in contact with people from the outside was not a first time for her. And for outsiders, it was difficult for them to understand that a huge power struggle which was occurring within the Juunishima family.

Certainly if you were to compare their rank between Yurikago and Sakura, they were like heaven and earth. Similar in the way that the elder brother of Oda Nobunaga could not succeed his family no matter how much he struggled due to being an illegitimate child, Sakura could not ever reach as high a position as Yurikago.

Therefore, just like what Hera has asked, it was actually quite possible to stop Sakura's actions by force if she ordered her to do so.

However, the order would only be followed by pretext.

Although the plan itself, if it was declared publicly would garner public criticism from a humane viewpoint, at the same time, with how big and powerful the Juunishima clan is........And the fact that an unprecedented degree of earnings can be achieved from the success of this plan, it would not be so easily stopped.

Women all over the world could stop growing old, the ultimate anti-aging solution.

Just as Sakura has said previously, the amount of expected earnings would be in trillion of monetary units.

It is beyond a man's imagination just how many women who would drop their wallets and spend fortunes to become beautiful, not only that, on the opposite side, there also an abundance of males who would spend money for their women as well.

If Yurikago were to act foolishly and forcibly stop that plan without any good reasons, this would become a subject that she would be attacked with later in the future.

Consequently, she needed a just cause, in this case human rights.

This is why she voluntarily took action herself whilst disguising herself, she did not really want to explain all this to Hera.

In her achievement of this objective, it was by no means a requirement to explain to Hera. Also, she was different from Sakura, she did not have a hobby of enjoying a game of words nor was she interested in conversation.

Thus, Yurikago hastened her steps as she ran away in the woods...

(Natsuno Taiyou)

Since a while ago and for a long period of time, this name was sticking inside her head and she could not stop thinking about it. The boy who had similar sense of values to herself, having different objectives and a way of doing things, and the boy who put his way of doing things into practice.
