Looking at Master Ryudo, who was hiding in the glass cylinder like a clown, discussing money and women with him.
Uesugi Kazuki first walked around the glass cylinder, then looked at the Japanese-style baptismal chamber, which was entirely made of tatami mats and wood.
He ignored Master Ryudo, who had a smug, "what are you going to do" smile on his face.
Instead, he waved towards Akichi Aya, signaling her to come over.
When Akichi Aya, dressed in that gift-wrapped-like outfit, quickly walked over,
Uesugi Kazuki first took off his school uniform jacket and draped it over Akichi Aya.
Then, he pulled out the remaining half-pack of thermite from his pants pocket and asked Akichi Aya,
"Do you have anything else you want to say to him?"
Akichi Aya looked at Master Ryudo, who was hiding in the glass cylinder with a confident smile, then at the handsome Uesugi Kazuki in front of her. She shook her head, indicating she had nothing to say.
"Then so be it."
Seeing that Akichi Aya had nothing to say to the cult master,
Uesugi Kazuki sprinkled the half-pack of thermite onto the tatami mat in front of Master Ryudo's glass cylinder.
Then he pulled out matches again and used the lit candle to create a delayed ignition device.
As Uesugi Kazuki was making the delayed ignition device, Master Ryudo, unaware of what Uesugi Kazuki was doing, instinctively sensed danger.
Unable to sit still any longer, Master Ryudo stood up and fiercely pounded on the glass cylinder.
"Bastard! What are you doing! Stop it immediately!"
"Do you know this is a crime?!"
"I know many powerful people! Any one of them could easily kill you!"
"Stop! If you kill me, neither the police nor the Leader will let you off!"
Uesugi Kazuki ignored Master Ryudo's shouting from inside the glass cylinder, continuously fiddling with the matches and candle.
And Akichi Aya also ignored the jumping and yelling Master Ryudo; her eyes were solely on Uesugi Kazuki.
After Uesugi Kazuki finished making the delayed ignition device and placed it on the thermite, he walked to the spot where he had knocked out Akichi Aya's mother. He then hoisted the unconscious Akichi Kiko onto his shoulder.
"Let's go."
Uesugi Kazuki, carrying Akichi Kiko on his shoulder like a sack of potatoes, walked over to Akichi Aya and extended his hand to her.
Akichi Aya looked at Uesugi Kazuki's outstretched hand, a sweet smile blooming on her face. She reached out and tightly clasped Uesugi Kazuki's hand in hers.
Master Ryudo, hidden in the glass cylinder, watched as the two young people left the baptismal chamber without looking back.
Master Ryudo turned his head, nervously watching the burning candle in front of him.
Instinctively knowing this thing would take his life, Master Ryudo began to try and push over the glass cylinder from inside.
To give himself a chance to escape.
However, the designer of this glass cylinder had clearly met Master Ryudo's design requirements perfectly.
Unless Master Ryudo used an overhead crane to move the glass cylinder, neither firearms nor Yokozuna-level sumo wrestlers could break or push over this glass cylinder.
So, Master Ryudo, who had been scrambling inside the glass cylinder like a monkey to no avail, could only watch helplessly as the candle ignited the match.
Then, the match ignited the gray powder. As the gray powder emitted a dazzling silver light,
The tatami floor was ignited, and then the tatami mats that Akichi Aya had sprinkled with the same gray powder also caught fire.
"Is anyone there?!"
"Someone save me!"
Watching the fire grow larger and larger, Master Ryudo screamed shrilly inside the glass cylinder, just like the women who had screamed in agony here before.
But just as he had said earlier, no matter how loudly he screamed in the baptismal chamber, no one outside would hear anything.
Leading Akichi Aya by the hand and carrying Akichi Kiko on his shoulder, Uesugi Kazuki had just stepped out of the baptismal chamber when he began to check the pile of achievements he had recently unlocked.
He had been too focused in the baptismal chamber earlier, so he hadn't noticed that he had triggered a bunch of new achievements.
[Life Achievement Triggered: First Night Battle]
[Night battles are a man's romance! Only cowards are afraid of the dark!]
[Reward: Stealth +3]
[Agility +1]
[Life Achievement Triggered: First Melee Combat]
[Boy next door!]
[Reward: Combat +1]
[Strength +1]
[Life Achievement Triggered: Fiftieth Opponent Knocked Down]
[Today, I stand upon the earth!]
[Reward: Brawling +1]
[Strength +1]
Satisfied with the new life achievements he had triggered, Uesugi Kazuki led Akichi Aya towards the villa's garage.
The reason he dared to walk so openly through the villa, leading Akichi Aya, was, of course, because after stealthily entering the villa, Uesugi Kazuki had adopted the most practical "Kon-style infiltration."
During the time the transformer outside the villa was detonated by thermite, causing the villa to lose power,
He snuck into the surveillance room, knocked out the two security guards on duty, confirmed that the previous surveillance footage hadn't captured him, and memorized the villa's layout and where Master Ryudo was going to cause trouble.
While he conveniently shut down the surveillance, Uesugi Kazuki also went to deal with the patrolling security personnel.
After all, this was just a cult hideout, not a heavily guarded military base.
So, there weren't many security personnel, and most of them were still acting alone.
While adhering to the principle that "infiltration with no witnesses is the most perfect infiltration," Uesugi Kazuki also found two car keys, preparing for their subsequent withdrawal.
Only after everything was ready did Uesugi Kazuki leisurely make his way to the baptismal chamber.
Leading Akichi Aya, Uesugi Kazuki arrived in front of the villa's garage. After pulling out the car keys and pressing them a few times, he finally settled on a black luxury sedan.
After placing the unconscious Akichi Kiko in the back seat, Uesugi Kazuki got into the driver's seat and started the car.
He drove out of the cult hideout, simultaneously earning a new achievement.
He looked at the new achievement.
[Life Achievement Triggered: First Time Driving]
[Second gear! 7200 RPM! Go for it!]
[Reward: Driving +1]
[Waist +1]
Driving the black luxury sedan through the streets of Tokyo, Uesugi Kazuki asked Akichi Aya, who was sitting in the passenger seat,
"Akichi-san, the matter is resolved. Where's your house? I'll take you home."
Akichi Aya's eyes were fixed on Uesugi Kazuki in the driver's seat.
"Kazuki-kun, just call me Aya."
After saying that, Akichi Aya glanced at her mother sprawled in the back seat, then hesitated before giving an address.
"Kazuki-kun, you can drop me off here."
"Alright, Aya, I'm not too familiar with this area... Can you set up the navigation for me?"
"Okay."
Akichi Aya pressed a few buttons on the car's system, but the navigation didn't appear.
Instead, "Fly Me to the Moon" started playing in the car.
"In other words, hold my hand"
"In other words, darling, kiss me"
"Fill my heart with song"
