All the family patriarchs fell silent. Everyone present knew that twenty years ago, Tachibana Masamune had for a long time been the backbone of the family's Enforcers. As the leader of the Execution Bureau, the number of Ghouls that had died beneath his long sword was countless, and it was precisely through these illustrious achievements in slaying Ghouls that Tachibana Masamune had climbed step by step to the position of Clan Leader of the Shieki Eight Families.
Yet no one had ever known that the daughter of this brilliant Ghoul-slayer was herself a Ghoul—and most likely the strongest Ghoul in the world. This was truly a matter of utmost sorrow and helplessness.
In truth, whether it was Tachibana Masamune or Erii, both were contributors of the highest order to the Shieki Eight Families. After assuming the position of Clan Leader, Tachibana Masamune had governed the Shieki Eight Families for a full decade, leading the family toward prosperity; without Mr. Masamune, there would be no Shieki Eight Families today. Meanwhile, Erii had always served as the family's most formidable secret weapon, pacifying hearts and minds, and during Project Abyss she had even resolved a swarm of Ghouls that the entire family had been powerless to resist. In terms of merit and contribution to the family, not a single patriarch present could compare to Tachibana Masamune and Erii.
