Chapter 1136: The supporter and the rejection
Time slowly ticked on…
Wu Yan, Kurumi, Tohka, and Yoshino waited for Kotori to make a decision. Only Shiori's humming sound came from the kitchen. It appears Kotori is still pondering whether or not to let this slide.
Naturally, she's not sure if she should let Kurumi who killed 10,000 humans to go around town. To the public's knowledge, she is a very dangerous existence.
With her powers sealed and Ratatoskr watching over her, letting her loose with her powers intact might change Ratatoskr's stance on Kurumi's punishment.
Even Kotori wouldn't be able to push back against the overwhelming protest.
Kotori didn't create Ratatoskr. She also has no veto power, if her superior wants to initiate other sanctions against Kurumi then what can Kotori do?
She has two choices: Help or stop Kurumi.
It's virtually confirmed that Wu Yan will not sit idly by if Ratatoskr wants to lock Kurumi away.
Kotori doesn't want to see Wu Yan fighting with the people behind Ratatoskr.
Wu Yan is an important family member to Kotori. Meanwhile, she cannot betray the founders of Ratatoskr.
She can't imagine the fallout of Wu Yan vs Ratatoskr.
The best decision would be to keep Kurumi around as is status quo.
Kotori saw the light within Kurumi's eyes. If she stopped her then there's a high chance Kurumi will sneak out.
Breaking out of her confinement, that will not end well.
Letting Kurumi go like this also presents a grave risk.
She's stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Kotori's obviously very troubled by this conundrum. Her expression contorted in confusion.
Tohka probably couldn't take the mounting silence, she spoke out.
"I don't what's going on but…"
She voiced her thought resolutely.
"If it were me, I wouldn't feel happy when someone stops me from doing what I must do."
Kotori flinched.
"I-I think so too…"
Yoshino used the courage she had to stand up to Kotori.
"Important job must be done… or my thoughts will be all over the place…"
Kurumi was surprised that Tohka and Yoshino vouched for her. Her smile brightened.
Wu Yan also shrugged while chortling.
"That settles that. Kotori, just let Kurumi go…"
"You guys…"
Kotori rubbed her temples. Her hesitation got blown away despite her bitter smile.
"Okay, let me dive straight into the heart of the matter, what are you going to do?"
"Ara…"
Kurumi tilted her head. She gave Kotori a cheeky answer.
"That's a secret…"
Kotori leered at her before snorting.
"Okay, another question, you won't harm anyone, right?!"

Kurumi's eyes flickered with bloody intent. Her smile also turned dangerous.
"Well, I won't pick a fight with anyone. But, if someone ticks me off then they will get a branding they won't forget for life…"
"How am I supposed to let you go out like this?!"
