Chapter 57: This Bow, Unchanging Life and Death
As night fell, more and more people walked the streets, while neon lights in the shop windows on both sides scattered colorful lights, attracting customers who were getting off work.
This is... Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture!
Looking at the signs hanging on the street, Aze Xima quickly understood the location of this resurrection.
His body returned to normal, but his neck still felt a bit sore.
From the beginning until now, he has been beheaded thirty times! What has targeted him this time?
Local forces?
No, a weapon like this could not come from an ordinary person's hands!
The Japanese government?
Even less likely, they don't have this kind of initiative!
So there is only one answer...
"Brother, hurry up and take action!"
Aze Qiantan, however, acted as if nothing had happened, still full of energy, urging quietly next to him.
"Oh, I'm so hungry, please melt someone for me to lick...I shouldn't have wasted Grandma Matsuo's brains!"
Her words angered Aze Xima.
"That's too much! How can you say such cruel things?"
Thinking of the kind person who sheltered her in her previous life, Aze Xima felt extremely sad.
"Grandma Matsuo treated us so well, and you actually sucked her brains, you demon!"
"Haha, I'm laughing out loud, she was clearly melted by you!"
"Stop!" Aze Xima knelt in front of Aze Qiantan, clasping her hands together, pleading, "Please don't say such cruel things!"
Despite Aze Xima's dissolve-worthy pleas, Aze Qiantan remained undaunted, revealing an evil smile.
"Hehehe, do you want to kill me? Too bad it won't work on me, it'll just make me more lively! Stop talking nonsense, go find someone...hey, where are people?"
The street, which was crowded just now, is now completely empty with all the shops closed.
"Did everyone run away? What a useless brother!" mumbled Aze Qiantan.
"Isn't it because of our argument that things got delayed?"
A loud noise from above interrupted the quarrel between Aze siblings.
It was an armed helicopter approaching rapidly from above, with its machine guns becoming clearer and pointing directly at them.
"Well, that came fast!"
Aze siblings felt frustrated but didn't attempt to run away. Experience told them that escaping was futile, so it was better to die quickly and start over.
However, the helicopter didn't shoot deadly flames as they had imagined; instead, it hovered and landed in front of them.
The cabin door opened, and a young man in his twenties stepped out.
He was about the same height as Aze Xima, fair and quiet, dressed in a well-fitted navy suit, a spotless white shirt, and a neatly ironed blue and red tie.
"I am Yagi Kenichi from the Nine Provinces Bayashi family, and you must be Aze Xima, right?"
The young man smiled, moving effortlessly with a sense of natural grace, though there were traces of sweat on his forehead.
"As planned, I will be your first opponent. Please teach me."
...
What in the world?
Aze Xima felt puzzled. Who was this opponent? Were they here to harm him? And why reveal themselves now?
"Hurry up and melt him, brother, I really want to eat!"
His sister's urging strengthened his resolve.
The parade was so grand, it must have been people sent by that organization. Since that's the case, we should strike first.
Thinking this, Aze Xima gritted his teeth, made up his mind, put his feet together, let his hands hang down, and then bent his body at lightning speed until his upper body was parallel to the ground. This move is called Apology Form Four: Apology!
"I'm really very sorry this time!"
As the words full of apologies reached his ears, Yagi Kenichi suddenly felt dizzy, a warm feeling rushed to his heart, and the strange figure in front of him seemed to become cute, as if no matter what the other person did, it could be forgiven.
He wanted to close his eyes, but his eyelids wouldn't obey, he wanted to leave, but his feet couldn't move. Only the brain in his head seemed to have more energy, struggling to get out.
Truly deserving of the title Apology Daredevil, the strange figure!
In the face of danger, Yagi Kenichi remained calm. He knelt with his knees together, lifted his head and chest, placed his hands together on his thighs, sat upright, and then leaned his body forward as far as he could.
Apology Form Five: Apology Declaration, has been executed!
"I should be the one to say sorry!"
Faced with the unexpected situation, Aze Xima was stunned. He could feel that his attack had not been effective, as the sincerity of the opponent surpassed his own.
If a person who is being apologized to apologizes to the apologizing person, is the apologizing person still apologizing?
Of course not!
Everything in the world is relative. Without tall, there would be no short. Without up, there would be no down. The key to apologizing is to lower oneself beneath the other person's posture. If one cannot lower oneself, it is not an apology but rather arrogant condescension.
Aze Xima's back was soaked with sweat.
Through the camera, Uesugi Kiyoshi, in the command room, saw that Yagi Kenichi was still safe and sound, finally feeling relieved. He nodded in satisfaction towards Yagi Mitsuro, the head of the Yagi family.
"Mr. Yagi, you've chosen a really good person."
"You flatter me." Yagi Mitsuro adjusted his glasses, a cold light flashing in his eyes. "The Yagi family head volunteered to be the first to fight not out of arrogance, but to ensure that Yagi Kenichi can defeat Aze Xima!"
"Oh?" Uesugi Kiyoshi lifted his head with interest.
"Yen Yi is the shining star of the family. He has a natural talent since he was young and always gains forgiveness from others no matter what he does. With guidance from the elders in the family, he has become a young congressman in Da Fen County. When it comes to apologizing, even his opponents may find it strange!"
"That's right!" Yamazaki Genshu, the head of the Yamazaki family, nodded in agreement. He said. Apologies can be expressed in three ways: emotion, style, and atmosphere. Yagi Kenichi has excelled in showing emotional apology. Even us old folks may not be able to match him. Truly impressive for the younger generation!
After hearing their comments, Uesugi Kiyoshi couldn't help but feel more hopeful.
What he lacks now is time. The longer Yagi Kenichi delays, the more advantageous it is for him.
Keep it up, big brother who will apologize!
At that moment, the two figures on the monitor, as if frozen statues, made new movements nearly simultaneously.
The apology attack was easily resolved, fueling Aze Xima's anger.
How could this be?
With the great power from demons, how could it be deciphered by mere mortals? How can one feel good like this? How can one reach Nirvana?
Since the apology didn't work, Aze Xima didn't hesitate. He quickly took three steps back and then knelt down on the ground. He placed his hands together on the ground and knocked his forehead on the ground.
This is the ultimate way to show apology: kneeling down!
