Chapter 54 - Chapter 4: The Easily Fooled Little Loli

Hiruko Kohina, in the Black Bullet anime, was Hiruko Kagetane's daughter and Promoter partner, also a special group known as the "Cursed Cldren"!

In the Black Bullet world, as early as the end of the Gastrea War ten years prior, it was discovered that if pregnant women had trace amounts of Gastrea Virus infection (a level of infection that wouldn't directly turn them into Gastrea), and these women successfully gave birth, their offspring would all be female infants. Their red pupils, identical to those of Gastrea, caused a huge uproar in human society.

Having suffered heavy casualties due to Gastrea, the survivors were undoubtedly touching already extremely sensitive nerves! Especially after discovering that these female infants did indeed contain small amounts of Gastrea Virus, and their strength, physique, and regenerative abilities surpassed those of ordinary people, and that if the Gastrea Virus's erosion within them reached a certain limit, they would turn into terrifying Gastrea Animals like those infected with the Gastrea Virus, the persecution and discrimination against these female infants in the human world became rampant.

In the early days, the phenomenon of killing or abandoning female infants with red eyes found in rivers and other places was not uncommon in the original Black Bullet anime storyline. It wasn't until a few years after the discovery of Varanium metal and the establishment of the Monoliths that these surviving female infants were discovered to possess some of the abilities of Gastrea due to containing the Gastrea Virus, and could even fight against Gastrea. Only then did the overt persecution or killing stop, and these pitiful little girls, dubbed "Cursed Children," were instead adopted by a specialized international organization and trained in combat skills!

Promoters!

This was the term for these little lolis who had undergone some training. Before they even understood why they were being hated, cursed, and even harmed by others, they were subjected to combat training and then partnered with Civil Security Initiators (similar to private investigators, but in the Black Bullet world, their role was expanded to include fighting Gastrea, searching for items, bodyguard and escort work, etc., with even individuals and large companies establishing specialized Civil Security companies). These little lolis often risked their lives fighting various Gastrea that occasionally infiltrated the Monoliths. Stronger lolis even explored unfamiliar areas outside the Monoliths with their partners.

However, in the Black Bullet world, these cute little lolis, labeled "Cursed Children," were seen as monsters by other humans and even their own Civil Security partners because their Gastrea Virus infection rate would reach a certain limit, causing genetic breakdown and turning them into Gastrea Animals!

Not to mention the hatred and hostility of ordinary people, the Civil Security Initiators partnered with the Cursed Children were also a mixed bag. Those Initiators who genuinely treated their partners well were fine, but most Initiators regarded their Promoter partners merely as combat tools that could be discarded at any time. There were even existences like Hiruko Kagetane, who seemed to be a psychopath—in the Black Bullet anime storyline, Hiruko Kagetane injected his sperm into several abducted women. After confirming the birth of five daughters carrying the Gastrea Virus, the insane Hiruko Kagetane directly forced his five daughters to fight each other to the death when they were a few years old, leaving only Hiruko Kohina.

When partnered with an Initiator like Hiruko Kagetane, Hiruko Kohina was undoubtedly trained into a terrifying loli who didn't care about killing!

Of course, in the newly transferred memories, Morin learned that in his arranged interpersonal relationships, Hiruko Kohina hadn't grown up with Hiruko Kagetane to become a yandere-like killer, but had only known him for less than half a month and was the kind of little loli with some kuudere traits!

"Hmph~~~"

Hearing Morin directly call her previous name, Kohina was clearly a little unhappy. She directly sheathed the two small katana swords in her hands, walked to the side, turned her head away from Morin, and slightly puffed out her cheeks, pouting her little mouth.

"Hey, Kohina, are you already angry?"

Noticing Kohina's (her future name) reaction, Morin, knowing that his previous address had made the little loli somewhat upset, called out "Kohina" as he walked up to her and very casually ruffled her hair.

"You... mgh? Mmm... what's this... mmm..."

Seeing Morin ruffling her hair, Kohina was very angry and was about to teach her Initiator a lesson with her sword sheath when she suddenly felt a small piece of cream cake appear in Morin's hand and be directly stuffed into her mouth.

For Kohina, the cream cake emitting an enticing aroma was a delicious treat she had never tasted before!

The sweet and delicious flavor was irresistible to Kohina. After taking a large bite, she savored the lingering taste in her mouth. Reluctant to swallow it all at once, Kohina looked at Morin curiously while vaguely chewing the cream cake, swallowing the delicious thing she had never eaten before.

What made Kohina even more curious was why Morin would give such a delicious thing to her, his Promoter?

"Kohina, this is cream cake! Do you like it?"

Finding Kohina's mood returning to normal, Morin used the small piece of cream cake, which he had prepared as a snack or gift, to start a conversation. He ruffled Kohina's hair, then let go, and offered her the half-eaten cake. His smiling face looked just like that of a suspicious uncle trying to lure a little loli with a lollipop.

"Mmm..."

Kohina, who had initially been reluctant to answer, saw Morin offering her the cream cake. Recalling the delicious taste from just now, she secretly swallowed her saliva and responded with a soft hum.

"Haha! Good that you like it, hurry up and eat the cake!"

Seeing Kohina's slightly awkward demeanor, Morin was very kind to the currently kuudere and tsundere little loli. He gently poked Kohina's cheek and then handed her the remaining half of the cream cake. He then said to Kohina, who was holding the small piece of cake, "Don't think about saving it... cream cake needs to be refrigerated. Eat it quickly now! Once we get into the Tokyo Area, I'll find a way to buy you some more cakes and pastries..."

"Buy cakes and pastries?!"

Having just taken the small piece of cream cake, Kohina, who was a little reluctant to eat it, was stunned. She looked at Morin with questioning eyes, hardly daring to believe what she had heard.

When had she ever felt this kind of care?

Kohina only remembered feeling hunger and hostility ever since she had memories. Even when she received combat training at the IISO (International Initiator Supervising Organization), Kohina and her fellow trainees were mostly treated coldly by the training personnel. Apart from the even mandatory combat training, food that ordinary people would find hard to swallow was their so-called training meal.

As for partnering with an Initiator, Kohina had one before, but he hadn't given her any good impression at all. Even his accidental death later hadn't caused Kohina the slightest bit of sadness.

But why would this not-so-ferocious partner in front of her care about her...?

---

"Alright! Be a good girl and eat it! Kohina, we still have to go to the Tokyo Area!"

Seeing Kohina's dazed expression, Morin shook his head and took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket, handing it to her.

Kohina took the wrapped chocolate somewhat blankly. Seeing something she had once glimpsed in a store, something expensive and beyond her reach, her small body trembled slightly. Her usually expressionless pretty face looked earnestly at Morin before she lowered her head, carefully unwrapped the chocolate, and started to savor the cake.

Morin noticed Kohina's emotional change. After secretly sighing, "Little lolis are really easy to coax," he silently started walking ahead, his target being the not-too-distant Tokyo Area!
