Fantasy Assassin in a modern world

The end of the Harada Family

Outside the factory owned by the Harada Family, a news team had arrived on the scene. As they were setting up, another news team arrived, and after a while, more and more people came to the factory. Even the bloggers have come in droves and unlike the news teams had simply charged forward.

As they got closer to the factory a wave of people started coming out from within. The people who came out of the factory were men and women holding children. The people from the news teams knew some of these people as they had a segment about missing persons and many faces from that segment were here today. Some of the bloggers on the scene had already called for ambulances and the police.

...

As it was getting chaotic above ground, Loki was about to finish off the Harada Sara and the Harada Itsuki next. Now that he had released the children alongside their parents, and with the media above ground to help, he needed to catch the attention of all the men in the base so that those above could escape properly. Loki sighed as he used the [Enhancement] spell on his whole body.

“Beating the henchmen without killing them, this is going to be such a hassle... Well, to become her ideal assassin, I guess I can suck it up and just do my best.” Loki smiled as he saw the henchmen at the other end of the hallway getting into position and started shooting at him.

Loki swung his hands and the wires from his gloves sprung forth. The wires that were strengthened using the [Enhancement] spell were able to deflect and block the bullets coming Loki’s way. Yet even though he was able to deflect and block most of the bullets from the automatic fire, some of them got past his defenses. It was also hard to evade the bullets in this small hallway. So Loki had some nicks here and there, but once he got near enough, Loki was able to incapacitate his opponents with ease.

...

Harada Sara could hear the gunfire from outside the room where she and her unconscious son were staying at. The guards had already warned her that someone had infiltrated their base and that she should stay here.

.....

When the sounds of gunfire suddenly stopped, Sara pointed the gun she was holding at the door. She was trembling and wanted to run away but she could not leave her son. Despite this world being so sh*tty this son of hers was her only ray of sunshine. She could remember the time he was just born as she held him in her arms. It was like her world had become a little bit brighter.

‘Don’t worry son, I will protect you.’

As the door opened Sara saw a person in all black wearing a white mask enter the room. She was about to shoot when the gun she was holding was pulled away. The moment the gun left her hands she quickly covered her son’s body with her own.

“Hmm, I see, even though you’re trash you’re a good mother.” Seeing as Loki didn’t kill them in that instant, Sara felt there was hope and pleaded.

“Please, I know that I and my family have done so many wrongs, and we can never repay them. But this child is still young and can change. You can violate me, kill me, you can do anything to me, just please spare my son.”

“... You want me to spare your son? But what of those your son never spared? Did your son even think twice before violating and killing all those women? Did he hesitate, did he lament his decisions? No, he did not! He kept on doing the same thing, and you allowed it to continue. Even you, yourself have done the same thing many times. You and your son are no different, both of you are scum. Still, I applaud you, even though you’re scum you did not flee on your own and stayed here to protect your son. For that, I will grant you a gift. I will allow you to speak to your son for one last time.” ????????????????e????d. ????????????

Loki approached Itsuki’s unconscious body. Seeing him coming closer Sara once again covered Itsuki’s body with her own. As she was waiting for death to come, she heard her son’s voice.

“Mom... What’s going on here?” Sara lifted her head and saw that Itsuki had woken up. She could not help herself as tears fell from her face.

“Why are you crying? Also, who’s that man?” As Itsuki was still in a state of utter confusion, Sara suddenly hugged him.

“We don’t have much time left, I just want to tell you that you were like the sun to me so bright and warm. I’m sorry that I wasn’t a good mother, I hope that if there’s a next life we’ll both do better. I love you, Itsuki, my little ray of sunshine.”

“Now that you have said your goodbyes, die.” Hearing Loki’s voice Sara hugged her son tightly. Itsuki who was still confused as to what was happening saw Loki move his fingers. In the next moment, both Itsuki and Sara’s heads were detached from their bodies.

...

As death was coming to take her, Sara’s life flashed before her eyes. She had a sh*tty life from the start, as her mother hated her, and she was beaten by her father frequently. It was Kenji who saved her from this life of abuse and poverty, but as his empire grew so did their love grow apart. Due to this she felt lonely and found solace in other men, some of which she forced herself on them.

Even though her world was dark and had almost no hope of redemption, there was still that little ray of sunshine that made her feel better. It was her only son Itsuki, to her he was her guiding light. She knew the things that her son was doing, but she never stopped him as those acts seem to make him happy. She knew that they were wrong, but she didn’t know any other way.

‘I only hope that in your next life you have a better mother than me.’ Those were Sara’s last thoughts as her consciousness faded into darkness.
