Kenji narrowed his eyes and spoke in a menacing tone, "Tell me who sent you here. If you tell me the truth, your chances of survival may increase." His voice was cold and calculated, leaving no room for doubt that he meant business.

Edgar noticed Kaito's horrified expression

Kaito was still in shock at the display of Kenji's power. "Who is he? How can a human be capable of something like this?" he asked, his voice trembling.

Edgar replied calmly, "If it's Kenji, then it is possible. He was made for this. He is a master of psychological warfare and can manipulate his enemies' minds to his advantage. Despite his fearsome reputation and formidable powers, Kenji is a quiet and introspective individual. He is often lost in thought, contemplating the complexities of the world around him. He is also fiercely independent, preferring to work alone rather than relying on others."

Ami chimed in, "Yeah, I remember the first time we met. He tried to kill me at first sight. He was like a wild animal. Good thing he was chained up and calmed down when he saw Keiko."

Kaito was puzzled. "What? Why was he chained up? And like a wild animal? What does that mean?"

"I'll tell you about it next time," Ami replied. "But what about his weapons, Father? I don't think I've seen any of them."

"In battle, Kenji wields three weapons," Edgar explained. "The Tenmakai Odachi, the Meiten Hyōbakken Wakizashi, and the Kogane Jigoku Getsuto. The Tenmakai Odachi is a very long two-handed curved sword that embodies the power and spirit of both heaven and the demon world. It is capable of channeling both divine and infernal energy into its strikes. The Meiten Hyōbakken is a wakizashi that has a chain attached to it, which Kenji utilizes for both long-range and close-range fighting. And lastly, the Kogane Jigoku Getsuto is a golden moon blade. I don't know how he came to possess it, as I don't remember Kazuya giving it to him before he departed."

Ami gasped. "Is that the-"

Edgar confirmed, "Yes, it is the Kogane Jigoku Getsuto. But how he got it, I don't know."

Kaito had another concern. "Mr. Kenji used the Flame Sonata 2nd stage, which is his current strongest poetry. Does that mean his internal organs will be damaged because he has to fill his body with condensed flame?"

Edgar nodded. "Impressive analysis, Kaito. Yes, he may not be able to use his powers efficiently for a few days."

"I hope he consents to rest," Kaito said with a sigh.

"Oh, don't worry, he will do it on his own," Edgar reassured him. "But let's go check on him now."

Kenji chokes the enemy and demands information while the group watches.

"Please, let me go! I'll tell you everything!" the enemy begs.

"Good for you," Kenji retorts. Keiko looks on in awe, impressed that Kenji, who was once awakened, was able to defeat someone much stronger than him. "Isn't he amazing? I wish I could be like him," she comments to the group.

"Don't worry, Keiko. With Kenji by our side, we'll all get stronger," Edgar assures her.

Kaito chimes in, "Can Kenji guide me too? I want to be a great help to everyone here."

"Sure, but he's very strict," Edgar cautions.

Ami interrupts, "Kenji, what's going on?"

"I'm interrogating him," Kenji replies, annoyed.

"I mean, why did you kill them in such a horrific way? You could have given them a quick death," Ami questions.

"Well, they're not the ones to decide, are they? And what guarantee do you have that they would have given you a quick death?" Kenji counters.

"Um, well," Ami stammers.

"So what will you do when they torture you, and you won't be able to move?" Kenji asks.

"I'm sorry," Ami apologizes.

Kenji continues, "We can't leave them alive, or the mastermind behind this will know who I am. So, who is your boss? If you tell me, I may let you live."

The enemy starts to answer, but his mouth foams and he dies.

Ami identifies a curse mark on his body that triggers the poison when someone says the mastermind's name

Keiko asks, "Wow, you got all that from a mark?"

"It's just an assumption, and it's not clear enough," Ami clarifies.

"My brain hurts now. I thought I would get some rest from this," Kenji complains.

"We'll take care of the investigation, Kenji. Don't worry," Edgar assures him.

Kenji "do you have someone in mind?

Edgar "yes, he is from illiet, the number one spy"

Kenji "I think I know him, is it kaedan?"

Edgar " oh have you met him before?"

Kenji "no, but we will. I heard he is the master of disguise, the possessor of lighting and earth. I heard he is a formidable person"

"I would like to meet him"

"Before that, we should heal your internal damage. Keiko, please take Kenji to the guest room and heal him," Edgar orders.

Kenji objects, "No, we should be careful. Especially with the royalty of Hireath, they're up to something."

Edgar nods and agrees, "After you heal, let's talk about it."

As Kenji starts to move, he nods to Edgar, indicating that he knows something.

Keiko and Kenji make their way to the guest room of the ship. Keiko feels embarrassed and stammers, "Um, Kenji, could you remove your compression shirt? I need to check for any injuries."

Kenji complies and takes off his shirt, revealing his chiseled body. Keiko blushes at the sight of him. As she examines his back, she is surprised to find no injuries, only battle scars. Kenji explains that he had healed them during his interrogation.

Keiko asks why he had come to the guest room with her, and Kenji explains that Ami had told him that Keiko wanted to meet him. She starts to blush

Kenji *huh?, she wasn't like this before, she looks flustered hehe*

"Well what do you think of the scars on my back?"

Keiko calms down "um they look beautiful but why are the scars only on your back and n...not on your f..front?" And starts to blush again

Kenji "well I think they the sign of weakness,don't you think?"

Keiko "Everyone has their weaknesses but they can come forth and conquer them and what may be your weakness?"

Kenji "my weakness?, its

You

A lovely weakness"

Kenji and keiko start to blush and they start to get close to eachother while maintaining eye contact, close enough that they make contact of eachother bodies and kenji says

Kenji "you are so soft and warm keiko like a flower bed" kenji start to move his hands behind keiko's waist And they both start to hug

Keiko grasps

Kenji "you smell nice"

Keiko notices something and tilts her head back up and gently puts her hand on kenji and lifts his head up to see kenji crying

Keiko "you OK dear?, why are crying?"

Kenji "crying?, oh I am"

"Dear? Hahah"

Keiko grips her hand on kenji's head and kissed him. After a moment kenji starts to calm down and starts to steam making his body become cooler and turning his red eye to its original ember color and his blind eye to glow for a second

Keiko "it's been long since I have seen your ember eye, do you remember our first meeting?"

Kenji "yes, yes I do"

Kenji hands around keiko's waist starts move upwards and accepts the proposal.

But suddenly kenji starts to get traumatic Flashbacks

"What... wh.. why uss"

"He..ad Ken.ji s..sa .sav. u"

His eyes starts to flicker red again

He screams in agony, kenji "ahhhhhHHHHHHH stopppPPPPP"

and Keiko tries to calm him down but is pushed back by the pressure of his aura. After a few minutes, Keiko manages to calm Kenji down

Kenji dissatisfied said "I am very sorry" as he puts his head down

Keiko "it's ok I know what you have been through and I am here for you, not only Me but father and brother ami aswell"

Kenji sorrowly Says "but how long?" Indicating that he knows something

Keiko replys "as long as we live"

Kenji "I should go to Mr Edgar "

While kenji leaves he says

"Thank you" and winks

Keiko blushes while smiling

"Take care of yourself" as she holds his compression shirt

Kenji nods and leaves while smiling.
