I'm not going to be an Spirit! (Translate)

Becoming friends with the protagonists of this world Rentaro Satomi and Kisara Tendo would make completing side quests much easier. 

By aligning with Kisara Tendo, Nia Honjo could more easily connect with the Holy Emperor and the Tendo family, thereby completing the first side quest: becoming the Holy Emperor behind the scenes advisor and cleansing the Tokyo area's corrupt government officials. 

By gaining Rentaro Satomi trust, she could access another key figure: Sumire Muroto, one of the Four Sages of the New Human Creation Plan. Collaborating with her would help complete the second side quest: developing a Gastrea virus blocker. 

Once the Tendo family was dismantled, Nia would become a powerful figure in Tokyo, holding the formula for the Gastrea virus blocker. By then, completing the main quest would be a matter of minutes. 

This was roughly Nia Honjo plan. 

Therefore, establishing a cooperative relationship with Kisara Tendo would smooth the path to completing the side quests. 

As for whether to gain her trust it didn't matter. Kisara Tendo and Rentaro Satomi were fundamentally different. 

While Rentaro was timid and his sense of justice and kindness often fell short, he still had a moral bottom line. 

Kisara Tendo, on the other hand, had no such line. From the moment she vowed to avenge her parents, she had abandoned everything. 

Though she still carried herself like a refined young lady, it was merely a facade for survival. 

The real Kisara Tendo had died long ago, alongside her parents. 

What remained was a shell a fallen demon fueled solely by revenge. 

Even when she acted human, her ferocity in pursuing vengeance was monstrous. 

Like now. 

"Who sent you here?" Kisara gaze sharpened, her demeanor so intense that Rentaro almost stepped forward to intervene. 

"No one. Everything I do is of my own will," Nia replied calmly. 

"Really? Someone who just got their Promoter's license yesterday wants to take down Tokyo's most powerful political family?" 

Kisara laughed, but her eyes remained cold. "What kind of joke is this? Do you hate the Tendo family more than I do?" 

"No. I have no special feelings toward the Tendo family. My reason is simple: to make this world and the Tokyo area a better place, the Tendo family must be eliminated." 

"Oh, really? Did you hear that, Rentaro?" Kisara's laughter grew louder. "We've got a righteous partner here. No wonder you two get along so well." 

But her laughter soon stopped. 

She took a deep breath, staring at Nia as she spoke each word deliberately: "Enough with the jokes, Miss Honjo. Tell me the truth." 

"The truth... is it?" 

Nia nodded slightly, unfazed by Kisara murderous glare. Her expression remained calm. 

With a wave of her hand, the Whispering Volume appeared on the table. 

Seeing this, Kisara eyes narrowed, and her hand subtly reached under the table. 

Nia opened the book, picked up the pen, and began writing as she spoke. 

"The truth is a cruel thing, especially for humans. 

The truth is, you may think you're clever, but even in this mixed building, your IQ isn't in the top ten. 

The truth is, you may think you're powerful, but you'll never achieve your revenge against the Tendo family. 

The truth is, right now, you're reaching for the sword under the table, debating whether to kill me, a suspicious person." 

Even in the face of Kisara Tendo a sword demon of the Tendo Sword Style Nia remained indifferent. 

This made Rentaro, standing nearby, increasingly anxious. He wasn't sure whether to intervene. 

As the Tendo family's adopted son and Kisara's childhood friend, no one understood her better than him. 

He had followed her out of the Tendo family, hoping to steer her away from her path of revenge. 

But over the years, her obsession had only deepened, becoming something even Rentaro dared not confront. 

Yet here was Nia, poking the dragon's reverse scale, dancing on the edge of danger. 

If Kisara truly lost her temper, she wouldn't hesitate to kill. 

Rentaro was starting to regret bringing Nia here. 

If someone died, how would he explain it to Nibelcole and Shiraishi Hina? 

He wanted to interrupt their conversation multiple times, but seeing Nia's composed demeanor, he hesitated. 

"Honestly, I don't like using my abilities. The more I know, the more disappointed I am with this world," Nia sighed, her eyes scanning the words on the Search Page of the Whispering Volume. "Look, I genuinely wanted to be friends with Kisara, but she wants to kill me. How heartbreaking." 

"If you say one more word of nonsense," Kisara said, slowly drawing her family heirloom sword, [Snow Shadow], "I won't mind shedding some blood before I take down the Tendo family." 

"That's enough!" 

Finally, Rentaro couldn't take it anymore. He stepped forward and grabbed Nia sleeve. "Let's go. If you stay any longer, I can't guarantee your safety." 

"Don't be so hasty, young man," Nia teased. "You can't rush hot tofu. My conversation with Kisara is going smoothly." 

"She's already halfway drawn her sword, and you call that smooth?" 

Rentaro was furious. "I don't want to tell Nibelcole and Shiraishi Hina that you were killed by my boss. They'd hate me forever!" 

"Wait, wait! Just one last thing!" 

Nia struggled free and quickly wrote something on the Search Page. 

As new text appeared, she read it aloud: 

"Tendo Hinata formed cliques for personal gain, forcing twelve honest officials out of the government. 

Tendo Genpeku assassinated three political rivals. 

Tendo Shimin privately built an arena to pit Cursed Children against Gastrea for entertainment. 

Kazumitsu Tendo embezzled 1.39 billion yen during the construction of the Monolith. 

Tendo Kikunojou secretly obstructed the implementation of the Gastrea Protection Act and planted spies around the government and the Holy Emperor, aiming to become Tokyo's uncrowned king!" 

When she finished reading, Nia looked at Kisara. 

The mix of ecstasy and hostility on Kisara face told Nia that her bargaining chip had hit its mark. 

"It looks like we can have a proper conversation now."
