TSSITWON Chapter 106: You Must Take Care of Them
🕑 Added 2024-11-27 12:46:43 +0000 UTCAoki stared at Kurisu with intense pressure, as if every word spoken by Aoki was a threat that could not be ignored. Kurisu, although sensing something heavy behind Aoki's words, merely nodded lightly, hiding the tension within her heart.
"Alright then, I will leave. You must take good care of them," Kurisu said, her voice sounding like ice that had just melted—sharp and cold—as her eyes assessed Aoki with a scrutinizing gaze.
Aoki nodded slightly, his expression remaining relaxed, as if the command was just a small part of his daily routine. "Of course, I will do it. Everything will go according to plan."
Kurisu looked at him for a moment, her eyes evaluating Aoki from head to toe, as if searching for something invisible. However, she soon turned away, her steps quick and firm. Several Guard Ninjas waiting beside Kurisu moved to follow her, their presence bringing a chilling sense of silence.
Once Kurisu and her guards disappeared from view, Aoki let out a long sigh. The atmosphere in the room felt like a looming cloud, thick with tension. Aoki turned his body and looked at the more than two hundred women staring back with anxious and confused expressions. Some of them whispered, their faces creased with worry that was hard to hide.
Aoki raised his hand, a simple gesture that immediately captured their attention. "Alright, everyone listen carefully. Gather your important belongings—clothes, money, food, drinks—anything you feel is necessary and can be carried. Bring everything to the hall. After that, we will head to the Valley of Hell."
A moment of silence ensued, then suddenly shattered by a rumble of protests.
"Why do we have to go there? There's nothing but sand and stones in that place!"
"That's right, even wild animals won't stay there. How can we possibly survive?"
"Seriously, the Valley of Hell... it's terrifying! People say that place is haunted, full of evil spirits."
A young woman standing in front shook her head, her eyes filled with fear. "Do we really have no other choice?"
"Hey, don't talk about ghosts!" a woman in the back shouted, trying to interrupt the growing anxiety.
Aoki looked at the crowd with a serious expression, as if every word he spoke was a stone dropped into a calm sea. "It is true that the Valley of Hell does not have many resources, just hot springs that we cannot consume. But that place also has advantages that cannot be underestimated. It is a hidden place, difficult for anyone to reach, even our enemies."
His words flowed, and instantly silence enveloped the room. Some women exchanged glances, their mouths tightly closed. Aoki continued, his tone firm and resonant. "There, more than two hundred people like us can remain safe, unseen by anyone. That is the reason we are going there."
The tension in the air began to dissipate. Those who were initially hesitant started to move, picking up their belongings with more assured steps. Some took clothes and personal items, while others filled bags with food and water, adjusting to their individual needs.
All items were brought to the hall, organized into neat categories. Clothes were placed in separate piles, while items like combs, mirrors, and toothbrushes were arranged neatly on the other side. Food and water were sorted into two different categories, creating an impression of thorough preparation. Aoki glanced around, as if ensuring that every step taken was correct.
"Alright, some of you go and use half of the money to buy food and drinks."
