Futoku no Guild - Vol. 15 Ch. 89 - Sky, Earth, Horizon

This is true; the bolded part in particular is related to what forms part of the crux of my argument. Hadesman IS powerful, but his political power is nowhere near that. The part you're missing is something I think you (if it wasn't someone else) said in the past: Hadesman is considered a "god", but is actually--for all intents and purposes that would not suit the human government and society at large, apparently, to regard him as divine--a lower-class being. That such a lower-class being is denying that monopoly, to the servants of that government (to say nothing of that government itself), is cause to stop asking questions--even if that "lower-class being" can be reasoned with and actually has a reason for what it's doing.

A subsection of that government is actually the guilty party--the initial criminals in question--who'd already antagonized Hadesman before its members ordered the hit on Fone, and when those most aggressive of the government agents sent after Hadesman found out, the most any of them did was navelgaze for a moment then return to bloodlust.

(And for those who can't or don't like to read, the initial act of criminality was that contract killing.)

Another part of this is illustrated in a hypothetical: guards are mainly tasked with monster control, to be sure, what if Kikuru and his group--or any other comparable group of enforcers comprising guards or not, because general law enforcement is also involved in Hadesman's case--were tasked with dealing with a human subject? A human, let's say, with a cursed name that confers considerable, effective power. What if this human--who displays as much reasonability as Hadesman does--was in exactly Hadesman's position? Would summary execution on sight be the only means of dealing with him?

If it is, why haven't the members of that subsection of government been slated for death once their wrongdoing has been uncovered--even by Hadesman's hand, since he seeks the redress--instead of being protected and their lives preserved as is the case?

Assuming their laws are similar to ours (and I think we had an example with pretty boy magic swordsman) - If a human wields large power and is committing crimes or murdering people - it's the police's job (then the military if needed) to arrest or fatally suppress said person.
Kikuru happened to be there and used his judgement and capability as a concerned citizen and (but maybe guards do have some authority to make arrests in danger areas) and chose not to kill Pretty Boy probably because:

A) Kikuru was much stronger (not that the police would know, so Kikuru could lie and say he used fatal force because it was needed)
B) Kikuru would likely face tons of legal issues because he is a guard for MONSTER related incidents and not a LAW ENFORCEMENT officer entrusted to decide what happens to human lives.

Kikuru has been noted as doing security for human related events... but i'm unsure if that was just a side gig because they knew he was strong. I'm guessing that GUARDS would be called to assist in special cases where a GUARD empowered human is violent (especially if the human is a monster tamer like San) - but their could be other high level government "JOBS" that are so great/specialized at suppressing human targets that they wouldn't need anyone else to do it.


In the case where a human or a "god level" monster that is not granted permission or exception by the larger government structure commits violence or murder - they are punished accordingly to whatever the larger more powerful government has decided is "just".

The old people might get jail time (i assume this is most likely), some might only get a fine, a few of the people simply taking orders might get a slap on the wrist - Hadesman might not like the results but ALL that matters is that the Larger Government maintains their monopoly on violence.

If the old people, the guards, or Hadesman himself decided to take violent action AFTER the larger government punished or excused the guilty party(s) of the current incident or the past incident with Fone... then the goverment would intervene to punish them again, likely more harshly (Hadesman would be dead no matter what if a human dies as a direct result of his actions though - I'm unsure if he could even invoke self defense laws).

Kikuru is a private citizen, the guild is not the government and he chooses what monsters to hunt

The guild and their authority under is government purview unless you think they let super humans regulate themselves.

Triple post here, I do agree that even though Kikuru has greater responsibility as an ACE, he is outside of his own town, and COULD have simply sat on his hands and refused to act.

I doubt he would have been punished if he did absolutely nothing and people weren't even aware that an another ACE was in town (but if he was involved and did something shameful he'd probably lose public trust and the guild might expel him).

He is ALLOWED to act because has a guard's authority and entrusted with superhuman powers (although Kikuru's powers are his own - but that's a small paperwork issue to the higher ups).

The guild is itself definitely under the Government's thumb though if not directly a branch of it.
It appears the upcoming chapters will deal with that though as the guild conducts review and interviews of the involved parties.

They do which you would know if you paid any attention to the plot

There is no military the police handle people crimes guards handle monsters which hades is classified as having hostility towards humans and not living with them

And the security gig your remembering was him patrolling his school festival while he was a student...
