WM – Chapter 98: Takatsuki Makoto goes to the capital’s cemetery

Capital of Symphonia, communal cemetery.

They are heavily separated in two categories. 

The first is where the nobles, sacred professions, and royalty rest; the Holy Cemetery.

Luxurious tombstones and extravagant burial articles. 

And in order to avoid graverobbing, there’s templars patrolling 24/7.

“That’s why, if the Moon Oracle is hiding, I think it will be in this one.” (Sakurai)

The place Sakurai-kun brought Prince Leonard and I was the communal cemetery of the 4th-9th District. 

In this place there’s the graves of humans, beastkin, and devilkin. 

It is late at night.

We waited till a time when we wouldn’t catch the eye of people.

By the way, Sakurai-kun and Prince Leonard have changed into simple armor. 

Me? My regular clothes are plain, so I didn’t need any disguises. Yay for me…

“But this cemetery should have templars and priests patrolling too. For cases when corpses turn into undead.” (Leonard)

Prince Leonard said.

That’s right, a problem in Isekais. Undead appearing in cemeteries.

In preparation for that, there’s patrols for this cemetery as well.

But…

“I don’t see any people.” (Makoto)

“Yeah, instead, there’s undead moving around.” (Sakurai)

Sakurai-kun responded to me.

There’s zombies and skeletons around the cemetery.

It is similar to the situation in the underground canals.

We used [Stealth] to walk around.

I am surprised Sakurai-kun can use [Stealth].

Even though he is so strong that he doesn’t need to hide from any monster.

There’s a whole lot of trees growing in the cemetery, and it has turned into a pseudo forest. On top of that, there’s a deep mist which lowers visibility.

There should be no worries of zombies finding us.

Even so, it feels as if undeads are serving as lookouts, standing at specific locations.

It is not a natural occurrence.

“This…is a hit?” (Makoto)

“The Moon Oracle can use necromancy. There’s a high chance she is here.” (Sakurai)

“If we consider that the templars and priests are not around because of the Moon Magic, [Puppet], to control them, this would make sense.” (Leonard)

Sakurai-kun and Prince Leonard vouch to my assumption.

…We found the wanted person being searched in the whole capital in one go.

That’s Noah-sama for you.

I gotta thank her later.

(Fufu, right~?) (Noah)

Ah, you were watching, huh.

Thank you, Noah-sama.

(Be careful. The Moon Oracle is dangerous.) (Noah)

Is that so.

Noah-sama is somewhat of a worrywart, but if a Goddess is saying she is dangerous, she must be.

“By the way, this may be weird after inviting him, but is it okay for Prince Leonard to have come together with us?” (Makoto)

Prince Leonard cannot use [Stealth] so he is grabbing my sleeve.

He is cute. Is he a small critter?

“It is okay. Sofia-neesama told me to cooperate with you, Makoto-san.” (Leonard)

His tone is reliable, but a cemetery at night for a 9 year old should be scary.

Each time he sees a zombie, he goes ‘hiih!’ and his shoulders quiver.

I have done something bad to him.

I feel bad making him face a scary experience like this.

Princess Sofia is gonna get angry at me for this…

“Before meeting the Moon Oracle, I want you two to be careful about something.” (Sakurai)

Sakurai-kun speaks to us in a serious tone.

“The Moon Oracle has Destiny Magic and can see the future. It is not almighty, but there’s the chance that she already knows that we are searching for her. Also, her [Puppet] and [Charm] are Monarch Rank. When I was touched by her, even I wasn’t able to resist it and was controlled.” (Sakurai)

“E-Even you, the Light Hero?!” (Leonard)

Prince Leonard raised a voice of surprise.

“Yeah. Fortunately, I was saved by my comrades. The ones who don’t have magic resistance to mind abnormal effects apparently must not listen to her voice or meet her eyes either.” (Sakurai)

“You can’t do anything against her then.” (Makoto)

I was amazed by the explanation of Sakurai-kun.

I am surprised they managed to capture someone like that.

“I have [Clear Mind] so I will probably be okay. Prince Leonard, you learned [Calm]?” (Makoto)

“Y-Yes. I have learned [Calm] just as you told me to. I will be okay.” (Leonard)

Then, we shouldn’t get easily charmed.

“I will convince the Moon Oracle. She has probably used necromancy to make powerful undead bodyguards, so I want you to hold them back.” (Sakurai)

Sakurai-kun divided the roles.

“Got it.” (Makoto)

“U-Understood.” (Leonard)

Even though Prince Leonard must be scared, he still responded.

“… Also, the most important thing.” (Sakurai)

The voice of Sakurai-kun raises in seriousness.

There’s still more?

“You must not attack the Moon Oracle.” (Sakurai)

“The curse of the Moon Oracle, right?” (Leonard)

Prince Leonard continues what Sakurai-kun was saying.

“Must not attack? Curse?” (Makoto)

I don’t plan on attacking her though.

She seems to be a scapegoat of the Sun Country after all.

But what’s this about a curse?

“The people who injure the Moon Oracle get afflicted with the Retribution Curse. In the case that the Moon Oracle is killed, the person who killed the Oracle is afflicted by the Death Curse, no exceptions.” (Sakurai)

“The Death Curse doesn’t only hit the person that killed her but the people around as well. One theory says that it is a curse that could even bring down a country.” (Leonard)

“…Scary!” (Makoto)

The Moon Element reigns over death and darkness, and it is under the jurisdiction of the Goddess Naia.

The Moon Oracle has received all the blessings of the moon.

…It certainly does sound dangerous, Noah-sama.

I should set [Clear Mind] high.

It would lower my ability with Spirit Magic though.

But it is scary, you know.

Right, there’s something I have to say too.

“Sakurai-kun, I also have one request.” (Makoto)

“What is it?” (Sakurai)

I glance at Prince Leonard who is grabbing my sleeve.

“Prince Leonard and I found undead in the communal cemetery by chance and were together with Sakurai-kun to subjugate them. We are completely unrelated with this matter of helping the Moon Oracle escape. Okay?” (Makoto)

“…I see. Indeed. Now that I think about it, I am having two Water Heroes cross a bridge as dangerous as this, huh.” (Sakurai)

Sakurai-kun made a pained expression.

It is something that he would have normally noticed if he were calm and composed though.

As I thought, the weight of being the reincarnation of the Savior and his standing as a Knight Captain is hitting him hard.

“It is okay. Don’t mind it.” (Makoto)

“Thanks.” (Sakurai)

“By the way, can you convince the Moon Oracle? I don’t know what kind of person she is though.” (Makoto)

“Yeah… I have been visiting her everyday when she was imprisoned, so she shouldn’t have that bad of an impression of me…but I am the one who captured her, so she might have a grudge against me…” (Sakurai)

“Oi oi.” (Makoto)

Will this be okay?

But to meet the captured princess of a fallen country everyday, you really are acting like the main protagonist of a story.

You got 20 wives though. Wouldn’t that be cheating?

“It was silly of me to ask you about how to deal with a woman, Sakurai-kun. I leave it to you.” (Makoto)

“No, I am not good at dealing with women either…” (Sakurai)

“Huh? If the guy that was going out with a female teacher of a university in middle school isn’t used to women, then who is?” (Makoto)

Don’t bullshit me! 

Apologize to the inexperienced me!

“W-Who told you that?! The teacher approached me and I had no choice…wait, how do you know that, Takatsuki-kun?!” (Sakurai)

“Sa-san told me. The network of girls is incredible.” (Makoto)

“Kuh! Could it be that all the girls knew…?” (Sakurai)

“U-Uhm…” (Leonard)

While Sakurai-kun and I were talking about our objectives, Prince Leonard nervously interjected.

Sorry, the latter part was completely unrelated.

“Ah, sorry. By the way, are you okay with tagging along in this, Prince Leonard? Sakurai-kun and I can do this on our own if you are not willing.” (Makoto)

“No, I will go too! But you two seem to be really in sync.” (Leonard)

For some reason, he looks at us as if jealous.

In sync? Really?

I feel like we were just having a silly talk though.

“Then, let’s go deeper.” (Sakurai)

Prince Leonard and I nod at Sakura-kun.

A transparent beauty illuminated by the moon as if she were a beautiful ghost.

Those were the words that surfaced when I saw her from faraway.

Black glossy hair.

A white dress that doesn’t match a cemetery.

Her listless profile is clean and symmetric like that of a doll.

The woman is sitting at the rock in the vicinity of a small pond, and there’s knights with armor and helmets surrounding her, standing ready.

There’s around 20 knights.

We used [Stealth] and hid at the shadow of a tree, waiting for the timing.

(Is that the Moon Oracle, Sakurai-kun?) (Makoto)

(Yeah, no doubt. So she was here.) (Sakurai)

The voice of Sakurai-kun had relief and kindness mixed in it.

He was that worried about her, huh.

(The Moon Oracle that can charm everything in this world…) (Leonard)

The mutter of Prince Leonard bothered me.

(What’s that?) (Makoto)

(Makoto-san, the Moon Oracle is said to be the second most beautiful thing after the Goddesses.) (Leonard)

(I see…) (Makoto)

The most beautiful after the Goddesses, huh.

It is true that this place feels illusory mainly because of the beauty of the Moon Oracle.

We were hiding in the shadow of the tree for a while, but…

“How about you come out, Light Hero, Ryousuke.” 

(((?!))) 

She knew already.

Sakurai-kun glanced at us…at me.

We exchanged glances, and nod lightly.

(Understood.) (Makoto)

I will stay hidden at first and assist him when the timing is right.

I raised one hand and gave him the sign of ‘got it’.

“Hey there, Moon Oracle, Furiae.” (Sakurai)

Sakurai-kun shows up from the shadows of the tree and speaks to her carefreely as if talking to a female classmate.

His voice was filled with lightness and kindness.

“What did you come here for?” (Furiae)

On the other hand, the Moon Oracle’s voice is cold.

“To save you.” (Sakurai)

“Can you leave me be? I prefer being alone.” (Furiae)

Hmm, I can’t read her true feelings from her tone of voice.

“But the gates of Symphonia always have templars with [Detection] as lookouts. You alone wouldn’t be able to escape, right?” (Sakurai)

“It is okay. An uproar will occur soon in the capital. I will use that to escape.” (Furiae)

“…Are you talking about the beastkin rebellion? We have captured the leaders already. The rebellion won’t happen.” (Sakurai)

“Heeh…Is that so.” (Furiae)

The voice of the Moon Oracle was completely calm. 

It is as if she were sure that the rebellion will surely happen.

“There’s monsters gathering around the capital. It is probably the doing of the Snake Church.” (Furiae)

“We’ve also done preparations for that too. The Sun Knights and the Four Sky Knight Orders are strengthening the security of the gates. The monsters won’t be able to enter the capital.” (Sakurai)

“…Fufu, really?” (Furiae)

The tone of the Moon Oracle sounded as if she was making fun of him.

I don’t feel like the convincing is going well. 

Or more like, it doesn’t feel like she needs any saving?

“Could it be that you are connected to the Snake Church?” (Sakurai)

“…Don’t say such a stupid thing. I am being shunned by those guys.” (Furiae)

According to the Moon Oracle, she is not the ally of the Snake Church. 

Well, they follow a different God, so I guess that makes sense.

“If you get it already, can you go somewhere else? I don’t need your help.” (Furiae)

Saying this, the knights that were standing ready direct their swords at Sakurai-kun.

Sakurai-kun doesn’t take out his sword.

Is he going to be okay?

“You don’t need my help?” (Sakurai)

Sakurai-kun says with a pained voice.

“You have been annoying for a while now. Even though I don’t want to see your face.” (Furiae)

The voice of the Moon Oracle had irritation mixed in it.

When she raised her hand to the moon, the 20 knights all attacked Sakurai-kun at the same time.

Woah, she is suddenly attacking?! 

“Sakurai-kun!” “Sakurai-san!” 

Prince Leonard and I jumped out.

“Oh my, new faces. That’s not the Holy Knight woman that’s always with you.” (Furiae)

Is she talking about Yokoyama-san?

I had no time to think about that, Sakurai-kun was surrounded by the knights.

Being able to fight off those numbers with his bare hands is just like him, but…

(…The movements of Sakurai-kun are dull…?) (Makoto)

“Makoto-san! The Light Hero-sama cannot show his true strength unless he is under the sun!” (Leonard)

Ah, right! There’s that setting!

The knights obeying the Moon Oracle -now that I have a good look at them- have lifeless skeleton faces.

Undead Knights.

Zombies and Skeletons can’t compare.

These guys are the true fighting force of the Moon Oracle.

“Prince Leonard, excuse me for a bit.” (Makoto)

“Makoto-san?” (Leonard)

I hold the hand of Prince Leonard.

Synchro.

“Hah!” (Leonard)

Prince Leonard twitches, but I will apologize later.

“Water Magic: [Water Dragon]!” (Makoto)

I shot Superior Rank Magic, and hit the Undead Knights.

I sent a number of them flying.

“Hmm, a mage?” (Furiae)

The Moon Oracle wasn’t flustered by this and walked over to where we are as if bored.

Sakurai-kun is fighting with the other Undead Knights.

He certainly isn’t the cheat Hero he normally is like at that time in Laberintos.

He feels like a normal strong warrior.

But it doesn’t look like he will be losing.

He is fighting bare handed after all.

More importantly, the Moon Oracle that’s not losing her composure, Furiae.

She showed a smile and slowly approached us.

“M-Makoto-san…” (Leonard)

“Prince Leonard, don’t forget [Calm].” (Makoto)

Prince Leonard grips my hand tightly.

I take a stance with my dagger to protect Prince Leonard.

But I can’t attack the Moon Oracle.

What should I do?

“I am glad today is a full moon.” (Furiae)

The Moon Oracle smiles kindly as she says this.

Can you listen to my request?” (Furiae)

The eyes of the Moon Oracle shine golden.

Is that the same as the Water Goddess Eir-sama…?

Charm magic again?

It doesn’t work on me thanks to [Clear Mind].

Prince Leonard has learned [Calm].

Too bad, Moon Oracle-san.

Is what I was relieved when…

“Watch out!” (Sakurai)

I was pushed away by Sakurai-kun.

Oi! What are you…

“Eh?” (Makoto)

What I was looking at was…Prince Leonard who had stabbed Sakurai-kun with his sword.

    1. Oh come on! Taking a child with a common skill to fight a divine temptress? That’s called negligence. Looking foward to the entire situation unfolding though.

      1. Hmmmm…well, they did want his help. If they knew he was going to fall like that, they wouldn’t even consider his presence. Then again, it probably was to serve as Makoto’s Bio-magic staff?

    1. If she just come out of the jail, and even before that has came from a ruined country for 1000 years, why she wears a dress as If a princess in the ln illustrations ? It’s not logic at all !

      1. I know, right? Well, maybe she used her charm magic on someone and force that person to get her some clothes at a store of the capital ? I am not sure about that.

      2. No one mentions that she is wearing a black dress instead of a white dress according to the description? I’m just pointing it out since we are arguing about irrelevant things after all

        1. I don’t argue on this chapter of WN, I don’t argue even and want to argue at all. I just Ask implicitly why in the LN that should be the finish product it seems less logical than in the WN for that situation ? Yes for the WN it is irrelevant. But I just want to understand.

      3. And ragunasky personnally I think black dress suit her better then the Whitehorse ( I imagines, so aesthetics reasons ?)

      4. Aesthetically speaking the white dress is far more ethereal in the light of the moon she worships.
        As far as being imprisoned. She was likely treated as a noble rather then a heretic. She is the decendent of Lunar Country Royalty. Other royals realllly hate seeing anyone of their rank not getting treated respectfully. Not that they’re worried about how they’d be treated if they were captured.
        So she was probably better dressed then the average noble. Fitted court dresses likely on hand in case of the faint chance she’s called to appear before members of the royal court.
        Beheading a royal is excusable, but never disrespect.

    2. After Noah, Aya, here comes another cute petite lady.

      The author/illustrator is identified to be “lo**con”
      There is a need for police to catch them!!

      1. Japan is full of “lolis” since they had specially breed like that
        (specially making very little feet and eating very little to be very slim)
        japan was and still is full of “lo##con” and “i*cest” it is a part of them

        ps. if you go deeper into a subject you will be disgusted by what they did, so do it only if you are ready

  1. Someone had already told Makoto (kinda indirectly, maybe), that clear mind > calm yet he overestimated the calm skill

  2. Seriously? Sakurai even seduced a university professor? Fucking cheat appearance.
    Anyways, that Moon Oracle is pretty antisocial, isn’t she?
    I think that even most guys would forgive Prince Leonard for penetrating them with his sword lol
    But either [Calm] isn’t strong enough of an ability, or he hasn’t developed it enough/learned it.

    1. What if calm would have been enough but the sync that Makoto did destroyed the Calm skill of Prince Leonard like it did with the cold hearth skill of his sister, If that would been the case calm would been enough.

  4. Thanks for the chapter and damn did sakurai have game back on earth, seducing a uni prof in middle school~ also if her beuaty is just beneath the goddess then makoto will be fine even if he grabs her which is probably whats gonna happen. And for why makoto is immune while Leonard isnt it…. well either it means clear isnt strong enouh yet, not enough proficiency, clear mind is a high class skill or Makoto is special somehow, and if he is im putting my money on the only unique skill he has which is rpg player! I mean i remember him almost falling for Noah but after changing his perspective to 3rd person he was able to break free of her charm

    1. I imagine it to be like the gamers mind from the gamer where due to him seeing the world from the outside, it can be like watching a character on screen which makes him immune to all mental type attacks

    2. If i remember correctly, back then Lucy said that Makoto’s Clear Mind is special or something like that. So yeah Calm is not as good as Clear Mind

    3. i think that it is makoto who is special since goddess was shocked that he is fine even though he saw her and goddess knows all his skills so it means that makoto is different or combination of his skills and his perspective of world made this possible.

  5. Thanks for the chapter.
    How much of a good look did you need to have to charm a college student as a middle-schooler ?

  6. Thanks for the chapter!~

    Fufu… Makoto, you did it with prince Leonard too, eh~

    Oh dear, Prince Leonard stabbed Sakurai-dono. I’m just hoping that there won’t be any witnesses that could abuse that evidence to divide the two country.
    Nevertheless, i’m interested to see how’s the relation between Makoto and Leonard. W-what? I’m not homosexual, okay!?

    But wait, what if Prince Leonard ask his sister about this sync thing? How would her face look like when she heard that Makoto did it with her little brother too?

  7. Leonard is adorable. Being scared of ghosts and getting jealous of how in synch Makoto and Sakurai are. You just want to give him headpats.

    I think I know why Sakurai learned Stealth. It’s so he can hide from his harem.

    Makoto had already been told that Calm isn’t as strong as his Clear Mind and apparently it being a full moon has increased the strength of Furiae’s charming ability so Leonard got charmed. Well he’s adorable so I’m sure Sakurai would forgive him for stabbing him.

  8. From the conversation, it seems the Moon Oracle knows something else about the attack on the capital by the Snake Church because she has destiny magic.
    It is probably related to the sale of the drugs. As they are sold at half a price, the Snake Church are litterally asking people to consume them. I think the drugs are a backup plan in case the leaders of the beastmen rebellion are arrested. The drugs probably contain a substance or a magic that will make beastmen rebel by manipulating their mind and the rebellion will probably happen at the same time monsters are attacking the capital.

    1. knowing life “drugs” is changing people into a monsters after they meet some requirements, or will make everyone bloodthirsty, wanting to kill everyone who doesn’t have “drugs” in them.

  9. So he can’t harm the moon oracle, but he needs to capture her and she’s in touch range. I’d say grapple-synchro her and burn off all her mana by casting large scale spells.

    1. Makoto has very low stats (1/3 of a normal citizen), so I don’t think he could react to an attack from a hero who is just beside him

    2. Depends on what pov he was set at, at the time, sometimes he has it set to an aerial view, that gives him a 360 degree perspective in close range, but having it set to over the shoulder third person, puts Prince Leonard in a blind spot.

      1. So i clicked the link:
        (…) also known as the Furries (…)

        Wait what??

        (…) also known as the Furies (…) Oh that makes more sense. Goddammit the internet ruined me.

  10. isn’t it kinda obvious that if undead rise when there are corpses, their religious customs would grow to be to cremate the deads instead of, you know, burying them in your backyard waiting for them to attack you for no reason. I dunno why even overlord has this dumb trope in it.

    1. I forget the movie, but one of the zombie dramadies, of the late nineties or early oughts introduced head coffins, so traditional people could still have their conventional funeral, without worrying about returning from the dead. So it depends on how the customs of the people evolve or adapt.

  11. I guess the Moon Oracle wants to be alone because the Moon Goddess keeps on controlling her body to do that kind of things. Now how will Makoto remove the goddess control on her. She will probably need to change the goddess she follows but who?

  12. Thanks for the chapter.
    Damn, mind controlling little Prince Leonard is unforgivable.
    I already imagine how he will feel bad afterwards, he needs some headpats.

  13. Interesting. Thanks for the chapter. Another world like the other Makoto with loads of beautiful and bountiful babes.

  14. I have this image of Mio when the Moon Oracle was described with this “Black glossy hair.” and Second to Goddess beauty.
    Well, Most black hair bangs woman are really beautify.

    I hope someone like Tomoe appears as another Priestess, a tomboyish and aggressive one…

  15. thanks for chap
    ….it wasn’t even a surprise, i saw this coming since the moment her charm was talked about and how even the light hero was affected.

    TO BE CONTINUED….

  17. Oh my. She doesn’t seem to like Sakurai at all. Takki would’ve made a better negotiator considering his harem minus Mary are a bunch of shunned ladies.

    I’m also 100% confident that no status ailment magic will affect him. If he can resist the direct charming attacks of two separate goddesses-one of which was met in person-then he’ll be safe. Well, maybe this Moon Goddess that specializes in status ailments might be able to make a dent, but that’s it.

    Oh no. Now little Leonard has had a taste of Synchro.

  18. Ah-huh! Sakurai was a heart breaker even back on Earth! Although by the sounds of it he didn’t seem to like it. Could it be that he had some sort of equivalent of a charm skill himself?… Nah.

    So there is more to come with the monster attack. Is demon lord/general flag confirmed?

    Pure Leo-chan! First being left out of the reminiscing chat and then being ensnared by the devilish beauty and power of the Moon Oracle.

    Speaking of which. JUST HOW OVERPOWERED IS TAKKI-DONO’S MENTAL IMMUNITY! I mean we knew he was pretty darn immune when two gods can’t charm him, especially one, that is supposedly the single greatest beauty amongst the gods, which keeps throwing herself at him but in context Sakurai has a skill that is lauded as a cheat skill but even he was ensnared. Just what has to happen to ensnare Takki-dono? Can he even be ensnared?

    Can’t wait to find out what happens next time I’m Weakest Mage!

  19. Takki-dono negotiate… that could work but I just have this feeling it would be more hilarious if she dislikes him even more for some strange reason. Maybe her Goddess is angry at Noah or something.

    Status ailment or mental status ailment? Takki-dono is definitely being painted as utterly and completely immune to all mental status ailments due to his skills which are utterly and completely overpowered in that respect but does it transfer over to things like poison or illness or paralysed or petrified or the like? If it does he is literally beyond overpowered at that point.

    Leo Synchro… didn’t Takki-dono do that before when he first met Leo and Leo’s water dragon went out of control. Who else, besides Lucy, has Takki-dono used Synchro twice with? I am so seeing a Hideyoshi route with Leo.

    1. >Status ailment or mental status ailment?
      It only affects mental status effects.
      I think he could neutralize liquid poisons/alcohol by turning them into water by his water spirit level magic proficiency though.

    2. That’s his natural resistance, he froze to death (physical status ailment), without giving into the fear of being trapped, and finished his game, without letting the dying battery affect him either (both mental affects).

  20. I feel like Makato’s been using clear mind a lot less recently, which is weird since I would expected him to go into a clear mind bunker after what he did to Geralt. idk, that’s just my thought. Also there’s no way a non max level CALM would even stand a chance against a charm that’s only second to the gods, like, c’mon Makato, c’mon.

    1. Using it too much weakens the effectiveness of spirit magic, which is his strongest weapon right now. He would be useless in a fight, without spirit magic, or a convenient human battery nearby.

  21. Thanks for the chapter! ^^
    Wonder if the drug made them so addict that the peoples will do what the Sneak Chrurch want in order to have thir fix, and that’s why the Moon oracle seems convince that the uproar will happen anyway?
    Time to see in the next chapter! ^^

    1. Ikr? Wasn’t it OBVIOUS that a basic skill like Calm wouldn’t be enough to protect someone from Monarch-level charm magic?

  22. – We know that Water magic is the weakest attack magic.
    – We know that Ice magic is stronger than Water magic.
    – We know that he is able to turn water into ice.
    So… Why the fuck does he keep using conventional Water magic???

  23. Yeah, that’ fault of Makoto for think that a mere Calm is so powerful, I hope after this he don’t make the same mistake. The Curse of revenge is interesting, want to know more of it and his limits.

  24. Sakurai has Stealth…, probably to keep his dalliances with Makoto on the hush hush. Because seriously, with his reputation it’s probably impossible to have a nice, relaxed lunch or something without sneaking around.
