Inferior ability user's return from the demonic realm

After noon yesterday, Hisae received a report from Miho, creating a wrinkle between her eyebrows due to the unusual situation.

"... Shima, get those guys to the lab. I'm coming too. It seems a little unpleasant, it might have something to do with a request from the Japanese government. I don't know... I think so."

Shima is surprised by this instruction of Hisae Branch, but becomes a serious face and nods.

"Okay, I'll turn the car around right away"

"Please."

Shima moved into action that day without saying anything to the instructions that should be called Sae's uncertain thoughts.

The capable are sharp compared to the average human being. Spirit users in particular are said to be strongly inclined to do so. In fact, Hisae has a good idea.

That was all I didn't want it to hit much, but the high level of crisis detection capability was also the capability that the agency's Japan branch manager deserved.

Shima was once Miho, is he sharp? and I have asked Hisae.

At that time, Hisae was laughing bitterly.

"Miho is a passionate person... so the spirits will be concerned. It's also proof that the spirits love you."

Shima has heard this and thought that the ability to use spirits is not just sharp.

Hisae and the others entered the premises of the laboratory and as soon as they pulled over, a convoy appeared to have carried those capable of attacking Miho.

Shima and Hisae get out of the car when they confirm it, and go straight to that convoy.

"These guys attacked Miho and the others?

"Yes, it seems so"

Hisae has lost her mind and stares at the unusual appearance of the raiders, who are being jerked off with a rope specially designed for the institution. One has rotten arms and the other two can see that they look like beasts and are werewolves (lycanthropes).

"Hmm, get ready for interrogation right away. I'll make you throw up about what it's all about. Keep the psychometrist and the satorist on standby."

"Okay...... oh! Dear Great Peak!"

Shima shouts out and looks stunned at the raiders

"Huh!?

Suddenly, the raiders woke up and wondered if they groaned, and it gradually turned into a scream and began to forget me in intense pain.

"Wow! Earl! Oh, forgive me!

When a man with rotten arms screams, the rope that the bones in his body make a cockroach noise and wrap around his body looses.

"Shima! This!?

"I don't know! This... melt your body!

When the beasts were similarly stuffed and screamed, their bodies became so thin that there was an improbable accumulation of slime-like liquid on the ground. The beasts grab their own throats with both hands for intense suffering, and their sharp nails plunge in.

"Ha! Some of these bodies, even my hair! Disconnect!"

Hisae was also stunned by too many events, but dazzled loudly and skipped instructions to the staff of the institution. If you leave a part of your body, you can investigate it later by psychometler.

Surprised by the situation, one of the engine staff, whose body was rigid, reacted to Hisae Branch's instructions, and when he took the dagger for the anti-demon, warcraft, which the agency had prepared from inside the convoy, he stabbed the dagger in the hands of the suffering boring beast man.

Institutional staff are also actions while fighting fear, and the attempt to pierce that dagger goes mad at hand. But, rather, that was fortunate.

Thanks to the slight madness at hand, he jumped the beast man's pinky with a dagger.

And beside it, a man with both arms covered in pus is waking up his half and holding him around his neck.

Hisae then saw something like a small metal card fall from its neck with a clear liquid overflowing from the inside of his skin.

In the meantime, the voice color of the pus man's disconnect changes.

"Guah! Damn it! The Count of Shit! Damn it!"

(... what? That was a different impression. Count? I was just saying Count...)

The word "Count”, which I vomited in earlier intense suffering, felt respectful. But now, as resentment has been inflicted, I'm throwing up.

Shortly afterwards, the raiders disappear as their entire bodies liquefy and the body's surface strikes a wave like a surface of water.

And... only something like a metal card remained in the puddle that was made where the Beast Man was supposed to be.

Hisae finished her explanation to the pale Mihos.

"So that's when this recognition slip fell from around the raider's throat."

Miho and Akira wrinkle their eyebrows at Hisae's story.

"... Hisae, okay?

"Yeah?"

"Why did this recognition vote remain without completely melting with the Raiders… the Leopard of the Dark Night capable? Earlier, we talked about this recognition vote being completely assimilated to the flesh."

"That's the thing... I don't know strictly. The story of assimilation into the body is also what I found out when I made PsychoMettler read the residual ideas that remain on this recognition sheet. Enemy operators believed to have made this were more confident than ever, and did not take measures against psychometry. Well, luckily for us, we got information about these guys being leopards of the dark night and recognition votes. Just..."

Hisae shifts her eyes to the recognition slip.

"If it doesn't have to be strict... I assumed a couple of reasons"

"What's that?

Miho frowned.

"Soon after that, I investigated this at the lab, and as I said earlier, I found that this recognition vote assimilates to the flesh when it touches the body and gives out spiritual or magical powers. So, what's possible is that for some reason I couldn't be assimilated. For example, isn't there a personal difference in assimilating with this recognition sheet? That's what it is. Very unlikely, though. Because this time, all three of us did."

……

"And one more thing. If this is a hit, it's a lot of trouble. Because, again, there are more things I don't understand. It's quite unlikely, though."

Hisae lifts her hair like she likes it and looks at Shima. Shima nodded when she received Hisae's gaze and turned forward.

Miho sees this exchange between Hisae and Shima and feels that what he says is probably the leading candidate from now on.

Then Shima heads to Miho and opens her mouth.

"This recognition vote specifically reacts to spiritual, magical powers. Just wasn't it strongly placed on other“ forces ”? It's called."

"Other than that?

"That's right. It is a possibility that the operative formula embedded in the recognition votes went mad, not belonging to spiritual and magical powers, placed on the equivalent of them. Embedding in these objects, not to mention advanced and complex surgical formulas like this recognition note, is delicate. Moreover, I have never seen a substitute that, when activated, affects the spirit of the other person and allows them to dispose of the assimilator without full assimilation with the flesh or even leaving any evidence. This can be called a magic trick anymore. Honestly, the ability to make this outrageous thing is not just something. Even the agency is investigating now, but the truth is that we haven't been able to figure it out at all, and we're asking HQ for backup for the investigation."

……

Indeed, Miho understood that when there was someone who could make something like that, there was nothing so terrible for the capable. This can also be described as a magic tool with the function of forcing the capable to subordinate. What the hell kind of guy created this?

Moreover, the fact that a single national force of capable men has already used and operated this recognition vote….

Miho stares at Shima with a serious expression.

"And I said earlier that no psychometric measures had been taken, but that, instead of not being done, I can also think of the fact that I couldn't put in any more procedures. Sometimes madness occurs when strong forces come in that do not envisage this complex maneuver."

"What is that“ power ”?

To this natural question of Miho, Hisae asked Miho the other way with a serious face.

"Have you heard of Miho? As you know, we capable people divide almost all of that into something that deals with spiritual and magical power. But there's one more thing. I rarely see you."

Miho widens his eyes here. Miho has the “power” to think of Hisae's story.

"No way... Sendo"

Hisae Branch gives an impressive face to Miho's answer.

"Boulder, Miho, you're right."

"But... that's... ha"

Miho recalls yesterday's battle. That Yuto, a user of Miho's Sendo, was giving two beasts a sentimental clap.

"What's going on? Miho."

"Oh, no, it's nothing...... But why, with Sendo?

(But... it's still weird. Yuto has his hands on the Beast Man, but he hasn't attacked the other. When it comes to Hisae, recognition votes are coming from all three raiders)

"Yes, it's a mysterious Sendo, but I know some traits. First of all, Sendo never rebels against spiritual, magical powers. I don't know if the expression" tolerance "fits, but it has affinity for both spiritual and magical powers, and it doesn't interfere. In the literature of institutional management, Sendo is the root of spiritual power, magic… and later parted into spiritual power and magic, sometimes neutralizing spiritual power and magic."

……

In front of Shima, Hisae put her arms together as she heard Shima explain.

"Honestly, I don't know what Sendo is, but Sendo is sure to be there. That's because there have been a few instances in the past where the institutions have also confirmed them. Sendo users are said to be powerful capable people, but they don't seem to be very interested in the public either, as opposed to the institutions because they seem to have a lot of unusual people. Well, there used to be times that were synonymous with abandoned people, so naturally."

Here Shima returns the story to its main point, which took a long way off.

"Yes, so this is the case. Weren't these raiders ever subjected to the power of Sendo in some way? There was an assumption. Because it neutralizes the spiritual and magical powers of this Sendo."

"Neutralizing..."

Shima's story is about the Dark Night Leopard's recognition vote, but Miho's activation conditions for that power of Yuto were past his head, and he became a complex expression.

"It's undeniably unlikely. Because this is the fact that happened and the hypothesis that I put out using the knowledge, information, and erasure methods that I now have."

Miho thinks. If this is true, the beast man will have an explanation. I can't tell the Hisae, because Yuto was attacking them directly. But if the other guy with both arms covered in pus, I can't really explain it.

"At first, I figured it might be the work of a third party right away, too. Let the evidence of recognition slips remain, so that someone may have targeted the difference between China and the institution. But when it came to Sendo, the credibility of the conversation dropped at once. Because the Sendo user shouldn't be interested or interested in that."

Hisae sighed and left her back on the couch.

"Well, I can't help thinking about it any more. More important than that is the fact that the Leopard of the Dark Night has attacked Miho and the others."

Miho looks up like a hack.

Then the glance of Hisae branch sharpened.

"I can't even look at this as an institution. I've set you up even though there's no fallacy here, so naturally, we can't keep quiet either. Honestly, I don't want to deal with you, but you can't be licked as an institution. Now the flow of enclosures between nations is growing stronger. Look at what happened in Miremar."

"Huh!?

"Oh, don't worry, it's not Miho's fault. But even if you think about it, look. A small country, some capable people pushed a nation just before they overthrew it? Moreover, what stopped it was also the existence of a mystery that still seems to be an unidentified capable person...... Well, I don't know if that's how it's going to work, but it's not."

……

"But this is not a good situation for the institution. Whatever the reason, if a capable person is to be treated as a dog of the state, it would be a long time ago. This goes against the philosophy of the institutions, the social participation of the capable. So, it's bad for the Communist People's Republic of China, but I'll even let you moxify a little stronger. Even to boast about the power of the institution. It also makes sense to nail a nation that runs into the enclosure of today's capable."

Miho sweats from his forehead that what Yuto did is affecting this place. Besides, things are at the national level.

(Yuto... You're in a lot of trouble!

Hisae looks like Miho's expression is hardening and laughs to reassure him.

"Haha, it's okay, Miho. Did I surprise you with a little political talk? Because I'm not talking about a total war with China. Just a little shame, 'cause it just shows the world the bottom line of the institution."

"Yes..."

Then Hisae branch struck and changed, giving him a dim grin.

"Besides... the Japanese government said it was easy on me about this curse, but there's no reason I can stop it in this case. We need to find out why we've been raiding this one. And above all! I'll make you regret getting your hands on my pretty cousin. What's more, Marion is a guest of the Four Heavens Temple... there's no reason to be shy anymore. Hehe..."

Miho and Shima were drawn to Hisae's grin, but Akera, who had listened silently until now, opened her mouth from the side.

"So the reason for this Dark Night Leopard raid is that you don't know how to behave... and how it relates to the curse thing"

Hisae will have a serious face in Ming Liang's words.

"... so far. I was surprised when I heard Miho was moving to solve the curse, regardless of this one. But from now on, I'll take care of this case at the agency. The contents are bad. No matter how much Miho or Marion, they'll be just as loaded in the big countries."

"Huh!? Wait a minute, please! Mr. Hisae, this matter is for us!

Upon hearing Hisae's judgment, Miho tries to speak of significance, but Hisae raised her hand to stop Miho.

"Not this time. Whatever it is, I can't believe the newcomers are hanging out with China. Besides, the way we fight is subtle. It's just not like you can fight and win. I have to think about the political side. I don't even think about total war. Careful consideration must also be given to the candidates for the ability to move. This isn't just the Japanese branch anymore, is it? Of course, the feeling is that the Japanese branch is the only way to solve it."

"Well, Mr. Hisae, please make us a favor"

Miho eats down. I really don't want to pull my hand here. Give up a hundred steps, and the raid is fine. But not with regard to the curse. Miho's classmates are being harmed.

And... Yesterday, when I went to visit you, I saw the state of Akiko Fazuki, and now Miho couldn't leave it to people to shut up.

"The raid thing is fine. I'll take care of it. But at least when it comes to the curse..."

……

After Miho's serious glance, Hisae glances at Shima like she is in trouble.

Shima gave a distressed look, but shook her neck to the side.

"As far as the curse is concerned, we have already made a request to the Snake Eaters. Besides, this is a situation in which the Japanese government is now in contact with China under water, so we can't let this one stand out and stir. We move only against the Dark Night Leopard's assault on the agency's capable people."

"But! Isn't it the Leopard of the Dark Night who has cursed me and raided me! Besides, we're the ones who got attacked without knowing why!? Besides! It was my classmate who was cursed, and he still suffers!

……

"Mitsuho... I'll leave this place to Hisae..."

"Ming Liang, shut up!

Ming Liang tries to forgive Miho for his dramatic rise, but Miho doesn't stop.

Miho sent a strong gaze never before directed at the venerable Hisae branch.

"If you're not going to make us a request, that's fine. Then let us move independently. The institutions also recognize the autonomous independence of the capable, right? Hisae."

"... right. If you don't cause harm to the average person without reason,"

Hisae answers Miho's question with no expression.

Now Hisae was watching as Miho grew. Originally, Miho has a strong sense of justice and an upright personality. It was the preferred one for personality and Hisae Branch looked at Miho.

But for that matter, I also know that I have a bad habit of being emotional.

It must always have a chilling part with it when it is relative to the higher layers or, in some cases, to the hand-worked capable person who is a human being. Because even Miho, who has been treated as a genius and has become rank A young, sometimes gets stuck in the ground because of this lack of calm.

As a matter of fact, Hisae is not going to deny Miho without a head. In some cases, I even thought it was okay to give detailed instructions and request them. But if Miho runs through emotions alone, there is nothing to benefit Miho's growth.

Miho's motive for trying to move now is good. Because it comes from a sense of conscience and justice.

But then again, I was never going to forgive you if you were going to move forcefully with a narrow, childish plan that left your emotions to you.

"Then the three of us will be free to do it. I won't bother you there. We act at our own risk, regardless of the institution."

Hisae had heard while silently feeling Miho's strong determination, but there was only one thing that bothered her her.

"... three? One, naturally, must be Mr. Marion, but the other?

"This time, I'm Don Du Yu Man from the same time I made my own request."

Hisae widened her eyes to surprise her only for a moment. And Shima, who refrains from behind, also moves her eyebrows in a pique manner. Hisae immediately asked Miho to return her expression.

"Don Du... Sure, you were ranked D. Last time, Miho and I went to Miremar. Hmm... for once, I ask, why did you ask Don Du to do this? Is he familiar with curses, etc? Because it's synchronous?

Miho didn't know the intent of Hisae's question, but he responds exactly what he thought.

"No. And he doesn't specialize in curses, etc. But...... he has circumstantial judgment that we don't have. I thought his abilities would be beneficial in identifying the Original Abilities who have laid this curse."

Hisae was heartfelt and impressed. No, I'm not saying it's a big deal, but if I were Miho before, I wouldn't appreciate others this way. It was a pleasure to see you back from Millemer. But naturally, I don't give it a look.

"So, I meant to move independently, but what were you going to do?

"I hadn't decided on the details, but generally speaking, I was going to infiltrate a confident eunuch into covert action and destroy the festivals, etc. used for this curse. I think me and Marion will be that backup."

The Hisae branch sounded like a lot of naughty maneuvers, but I don't think it would be a good addition in some cases. Because the ability of the infiltrator greatly dictates the precision and meaning of the operation.

In other words, in this case, the ability of the infiltrator's benefactor makes it a great operation and a ridiculous one.

Hisae thinks Miho and Marion should know this much. I presumed that was the result of the decision that the two girls, who are being asked to have a future at this World Organisation of Competent Persons, could go.

Also, and above all, Hisae personally finds interesting the fact that Miho Shitenji, who was that exclusive, ceded a role that could be described as its lead actor to a Rank D boy, who himself explicitly states that he will turn to the backup.

Hisae keeps asking questions.

"... give you such an important role in Rank D Don Du? Honestly, I don't think you're gonna rely on me to call it an operation."

Miho heard Hisae's words and laughed bitterly with an adult expression.

It's not an attitude toward the human being in the eye. But Hisae Branch sees this Miho reaction, and his personal interest boils down. To a boy named Yukien Doo.

"If you're a blessing, I'll do it. That is possible if there is an unforeseen situation at the infiltration site, although it is not advantageous for me and Marion to drive aggressively, but it is possible for Yuto. Besides, it's obvious that covert behavior is better than mine and Marion's."

……

Miho meditated on his eyes and immediately opened his eyes, wondering if he had given up the look, sending a caged gaze of strong will to Hisae and Shima.

"Besides... his abilities are beyond me and Marion in many ways"

…… Miho, that's... "

"Of course, now, some of the abilities I've said include combat. I think I've told him before, fight him one-on-one and I don't feel like I can win at all. Now...... But this is why me and Marion chose this operation."

In this word of Miho, the reception room was engulfed in silence.

Ming Liang is most surprised to hear it on the side.

Hisae looked into Miho's eyes. Miho also takes that gaze from the front.

After a while... Hisae laughed nicely and opened her mouth.

"Okay, Miho. I'm sending you guys a request."

"Huh... is that true!? Hisae."

"Yeah, I believe in Miho's judgment here. I'll make a formal request later, so wait. And the agency backs up completely, so you say anything, and you need a lot of backgammon to infiltrate China? Besides, I'm glad Miho from Rank A doesn't move all of a sudden. As a beginner, it would be nice to have Rank D Don Du move."

"Thank you!

Then, including Shima, he exchanged some words, and Miho and Akera left the reception room.

Miho leaves, and Hisae and Shima look silently at the door in the reception room where they feel quiet.

Shima moved from behind the Hisae branch and lowered her back to the couch in the eye of the Hisae branch where Miho had sat until earlier.

"Dear Great Peak... I was surprised to hear that earlier"

"Yeah... but it's bad for Miho, but this is two birds a stone"

"Yes...... it was a good time, albeit by chance"

"Ah, I don't like it ~. Adults are fine with this sort of thing ~. Besides, be gracious"

"Please don't say that. Even if your name doesn't come up, didn't Dafeng make a request to Miho?

"How about that?"

With his hands pillow behind his head, Hisae responds as he stretches his back.

Shima smiles lightly at Hisae's appearance and returns to her serious face.

"Don Du Yu Man...... a naturally capable person who obtained Rank D in his last rookie exam. And the first request from the agency is Brigadier General Mattow in Miremar, escort of the current Prime Minister…"

Hisae glanced forward with a serious face, her hands on her chin.

"Honestly, I don't think so... but I can't say no to Mr. Bartolo's request at HQ"

"Yes... I also can't believe that such a newbie boy could have had anything to do with the destruction of Sult's sword... Besides, didn't the remarks also relate to the Nosferak crusade during the rookie exam? It also says"

"I don't think that's right. Miho-chan and Marion, the Huang family's bonbong has defeated them, so they're calm. And I was there too..."

"Yes...... but I don't even remember the Great Peak of his existence"

……

"And the same report is coming up in Millemer. Nobody remembered Don Du. Including those who were supposed to be involved. Besides, we also didn't remember until Miho and Marion told us that we were sending them."

Shima and Hisae are frowning at each other and staring at each other.

"... don't they look alike? These two situations...... If... the hypothesis of Bartolo-sama's investigation had been met... the institution would have acquired a boy of extraordinary power"

Hisae did not respond to the words of Shima, and shifted her eyes from a large window that spread into the reception room to a group of buildings in Shinjuku where the sun had fallen.

"It's a hell of a thin hypothesis, Shima. … well, let's trace his movements well this time"

"... Yes"

After breaking up the conversation, Hisae disappeared into the branch manager's office, and Shima dropped it off with her eyes alone.
