In the back seat of a black luxury sedan car, a man in a clean suit checked and reported the screen on his phone. You look like you're in your mid-twenties.
"Master Yicheng. This urgent request came directly from the Japanese government."
With a rugged look, the Japanese man looking out told his squire so, and when he put his elbow against the window, he put his cheek cane on.
The Japanese-style man, Shitenji (Shitenji) Yicheng (Takeshi), a spiritual user, speaks to the young squire of the Shitenji family sitting beside him.
"I know it's ready, but just in case, ask the agency for backup."
"Huh? Support......?
To his husband's such words, the squire sitting beside him looked surprised for a moment, but responded to a bitter laugh.
"Dear Yicheng, I know it's troublesome..."
This is the first time for a squire that his master has said such a thing in advance of his work.
"Can't you even notice? No, Myung Liang, I feel like I need you."
Yicheng doesn't change his expression. but he also felt a sunglasses driver seconded by the Japan branch of the World Organization of Competent Persons to run tension in the car.
Spring break for the students is also at the middle of the day, creating a tranquil atmosphere, good or bad in the public.
In the hustle and bustle of the capital highway, which had nothing to do with the public, there were three men on board inside that black luxury sedan.
The black-suited, sunglass-wrapped, faceless driver also looks like an SP in this country.
And in that back seat sat silently in a grey suit with a man in japanese costumes who did not seem to be forty-three years old and a man who looked like a good person in his mid-twenties.
"It's...! No, I get it. I'll call the branch."
For a moment, Akira Shimae, a squire of the Shitenji family, tightened her soft face and began to move her fingers busily when she hung up her phone in a hurry.
As a long-time husband and squire, he looks like a chiseled interaction.
However, the reaction of Ming Liang, this squire of Yicheng, may not have been impossible.
When it comes to Yicheng Shitianji, there are only five active players in this world, capable of the highest rank “Rank SS” defined by the World Organization of Competent Persons. Besides, he's the man whose name is bound to be given to that leading character.
Rank SS......
The one who is able to crown it is the transcendent who lives in an area where no one can measure anymore.
This is a rank SS, and a man with comparable combat power to one of the world's leading nations is asking for backup.
What the hell kind of request is that?
In addition, Akira Shinto, this squire of Yicheng, is also the end of the spiritual use. Right now, I did, I felt like crap was happening.
Because the exploratory style, which is my ability to be good at, doesn't reach the scene I'm on. It's not normal.
That said, at the same time, Myung Liang also has absolute trust in this master. That's enough to be called faith anymore.
I have been planted in my head with experience that under no circumstances and as long as Yisheng deals with any opponent, there is no problem.
As Akera beside him asks for support from the Japanese branch of the World Organization of Competent Persons, Yicheng faces a certain Brit as he glances out the window.
(Perhaps this time this is a demon god. If I were to put it together, I'd prefer that guy... Kensei... Currently, I hear you don't know where you are...)
There have been reports from institutions that people with the same rank SS capability as Yicheng, said to be Kensei, have not been contacted at all for several months.
Yicheng, a spiritual user, specializes in ranging from medium to long distances. That goes well with Kensei, who is superhuman in melee and boasts unparalleled combat power.
But now we're on our way to the scene where things are already happening. Right now, it was obvious that there was no way I could be taken care of by a missing man.
In the first place, thinking about it can itself ask this lack of room for Yicheng.
I mean, it's an anomaly right now.
Yicheng comes to the core of his body, feeling pressure.
(This feels... what? Is it not the same as the demon gods before...? The spirits are frightened)
Myung Liang quickly finishes contact and looks at her husband nervously, but Yicheng's face is invisible because he is facing out the window.
"... I don't want it with my legs together."
"Yes, you don't have to tell me, it will be passed down that way"
Immediately Ming Liang responds.
Anyway, that Sitianji Yicheng is asking for backup. It is not necessarily necessary for a person of the same ability to form. It will also be fully understood by those contacted.
Yicheng's spiritual skills are too powerful, so it's dangerous for his people to team up if they make a mistake.
Thirty minutes before now, Yicheng was scheduled to have lunch at a hidden kiosk in Ueno with a big politician. He hated this hand relationship, but he has given up his minimum job as head of the Shitenji family.
Moreover, today, the only daughter of Yicheng, who turns fifteen this year, had refrained at night from the ritual of adulthood passed down to the Four Heavens Temple family. It was an important ritual at the Four Heavens Temple family and was originally scheduled to leave early.
At that time, an urgent call from the competent institutions came to Yicheng.
Usually, I should pass through the Shitianji family, but I got in touch with Mingliang directly. Is Yicheng in person here? and unusual, but now I am heartily pleased to be able to decline today's luncheon, ostensibly making faces like sorry for a big politician and exiting.
But now those floats are completely gone. The closer he gets to the scene, the more Yicheng feels tingling in his own skin.
(You will contact me directly. What the hell is this...)
A car leaves Inter for more than a decade and stops at the corner where the headquarters building of a major company in front of Shinagawa Station stands.
The area had already been sealed off by the police by hand from the Authority of Competent Persons. The area is divided by tape, etc., and numerous policemen stand side by side and are watched closely to ensure that people never stop by.
Yicheng stares at the rooftop of the building in front of him as he disembarks the car that entered the inside of the tightly divided tape.
"Up there..."
Ming Liang, who left the car at the same time as Yicheng, mimicked Yicheng and turned his face upwards, feeling dull compression, flashing.
"This is it! What the hell..."
Ming Liang shrugs unexpectedly.
Black clouds were swirling over the rooftops of the building, which Yicheng and Mingliang looked up to, never seen in nature.
Moreover, it emits small but numerous lightning incessantly.
The sight was immediately difficult to accept as a reality, as if it embodied the film's CG footage in the real world.
And it just made Ming Liang's heart and soul cold, who is also capable, just watching.
But Yicheng has seen this before.
I've never seen anything this big before......
"... don't let anyone come"
Yicheng was unwilling to wait for the support of the capable man he had asked for himself, as if jumping over a field fence, with a couple of steps of help the fortieth floor jumped toward the roof of a skyscraper to be crossed.
"Ah, Yicheng-sama! Please wait! We still have backup... Ah, no more! They're gone."
Witnessing the actions of Yicheng, who is making his eyes as big as impossible, Mingliang ignores the general police officer and rushes to an official belonging to the competent institution who had come to the scene first.
"Do you have backup yet!?
"Ha! God. The helicopter is headed this way. Perhaps we will arrive in about fifteen minutes..."
"Mr. Hisae, no, the branch manager himself? Well, does that happen when I work with Yicheng-san? But what the hell is that cloud... was the branch manager saying anything?
"No, for more information. However, as soon as I contacted Yicheng-san, I also gave instructions to each department, and before God contacted me, I was prepared to go myself. Both the competence and staff of the branch are mobilised in total. We have also requested the utmost support from institutional branches around the world."
A moment of silence occurs between Ming Liang and the staff.
"Also, from the Great Peak, anything below rank A until instructed is with waiting on site. He said never move carelessly."
"Does that... mean that's all that's happening? Why only on a day like this... Miho's adult ritual at night."
Akera moans as she gently holds her forehead with one hand.
"Master Miho? Are you Yisheng-sama's son?
"Oh, Yicheng-sama's... No, the treasure of the Four Heavenly Temples"
Myung Liang and his staff turn again to the roof of the building.
Then I heard the helicopter's engine noise from above the other side of that building. The helicopter has a bright eye.
The helicopter was a considerable distance to the ground, but the helicopter door was already open, where a woman in an aged suit stood with one hand on her mid waist.
The woman, with her black hair stretched to her shoulders tied behind her, jumps off that helicopter despite being over a dozen meters, as it is useless when the helicopter tries to enter the landing position.
And the woman landed without a sound in front of the Minglians as it were, as if nothing had happened.
Despite jumping from such altitude, the heel of the shoes worn on his feet seemed fine.
All of a sudden, Ming Liang shouts alongside a general police officer who is opening his mouth impossible to see the head of the Japanese branch of the World Organization of Competent Persons coming down from the sky.
"Mr. Hisae. That was fast."
When Hisae gently straightened her hair, she turned to Ming Liang.
"Oh? Ming Liang, where's Yisheng?
"Above this."
Ming Liang turns his body to the roof of the building where Yicheng disappeared. My heart, the disturbing clouds also seemed thinner than earlier.
Mingliang is a little relieved that Hisae came sooner than he thought, but he gets the urge to enter Yicheng's support soon.
I can't follow Yicheng on my own in Rank B. But of course, I've decided to be my husband's shield when I have to.
"Shouldn't you have gone directly from the chopper without getting down here?
"I can't. Dimensional earthquake will pull the chopper."
"Dimensional earthquake!? So, is it the demon god up there! So you can't get my style of exploration..."
I can see Myung Liang's face tense and her blood pulling away.
Ming Liang also knows the demon gods by knowledge. It is located at the apex of the outsiders, who have never encountered it, but also have the power to blow up one of its cities easily.
"Yeah, that's the biggest class I've had since I measured it. It's been five years... since Dortmund. Maybe the demon class has manifested itself. It just doesn't look like there's a main unit anymore. I'm going to investigate too, so if you guys don't want to die in the aftermath, don't come yet. The seismic intensity of this dimensional earthquake was level eight."
Hisae stares up.
"Dortmund had a seismic intensity of five, and then a third of the rules industrial zone became dysfunctional."
Five years ago, a major incident shook the world around Dortmund. It was publicly described as a natural disaster rarely seen in human history, with crustal fluctuations and impossible explanations.
But in fact, it suddenly manifested itself from another realm… it was the work of SS ranked demon gods.
It was also the biggest crisis since the inception of the World Organisation of Competent Persons, when a number of Competent Persons from the World Organisation of Competent Persons were put in and countless high-ranking war casualties were killed.
Hisae, one of the few experience in the field at that time, has strength in his eyes.
"You can never come!
Say, Hisae branch disappeared to the rooftop of the building when he kicked the ground with his heel, leaving the stalled Akira and the others behind.
About an hour after the arrival of Dafeng Hisae, the director of the Japanese branch of the capability agency, dozens of investigators seconded by the capability agency were witnessing the tragedy on the roof of the building in question.
A concrete rooftop floor drilled a large hole about 25 meters in diameter from the middle, about 5,6 floors down, as if it had been struck out by something.
Reinforcement bars, etc. were exposed from the collapsed concrete, but it appeared that the building itself was sturdy or how shapely it remained.
Yicheng was in the rooftop abyss of a building on the verge of collapse, overlooking the investigators. Myung Liang is also moving around with investigators.
Hisae lined her shoulders next to Yicheng with a strange face.
"Dear Yicheng, this... the body of the demon god is still..."
Hisae doesn't slap the usual light mouth.
"Oh, you're extinguishing... No, or they made you disappear..."
"Well, that's what happened, but who... no, what the hell happened..."
I shake my head because I don't understand the head of the Japan branch of the World Organization of Competent Persons.
"I don't know...... but it vanished as soon as the most powerful class of demon gods appeared since the measurement. That's what I mean."
"But none of the four other Combat Rank SS abilities and six other Rank S abilities besides me are in Japan!
"Calm down. We still don't know if we're fighting the capable. If the institutional capability moved, the information would already be in there, wouldn't it? Meaningless imagination... this demon can't be defeated without more than one Rank S, and it's compatible."
Besides...... and Yicheng are self-derisive and usually never show, showing masochistic expressions but only for a moment.
"Rank SS of the World Organization of Competent Persons does not mean that we can defeat SS-class demon gods. I'm allowed to fight SS-class demons."
…………
From behind the two of them there, an investigator went up for a report.
"Dear Great Peak, Findings so far. The manifested location of the demon god is over the aquarium on the other side of the station. Dimensional earthquakes thought to be when the demon gods appeared were measured there as well. Apparently, this one was confirmed to be a unique dimensional earthquake, which occurs during the annihilation of the demon gods. And civilians, but a lot of damage has been done, but so far no casualties have been identified."
With his arms together, Hisae was listening to the report. It is the station front aquarium for spring break. There must have been a good number of people. I'm sorry about the victim, but to that extent, I think it's your word.
"Here's another witness testimony, there are a few... that seem quite confusing..."
"Well, I can't help it."
"It's just that what's consistent as testimony is that something you don't know seemed to be fighting something. But the other testimonies are confusing..."
Hisae and Yicheng frown but listen silently to reports that something is fighting.
"Also, they were all protected by something like a strange wall."
"Were you protected?
"Yes, this is also consistent as testimony. Apparently, civilian damage is more caused by demon gods than most of what happens when there is confusion in the crowd."
"... you don't get it. Any word on the psychometlers?
"That's..."
"What's wrong?
"No one could read that. They've all fallen on the spot and are currently sending them to the hospital."
"Nah! What do you mean?
"... the ripple must have been too strong"
Yisheng tells Hisae, who unwrapped his arm, as he stares into the great hole.
"Apparently, mighty powers were bumping into each other... perhaps. Most psychic powers make me nervous when I read them."
"But! They're all trained like that. Our psychometlers are outstanding!
"Uhm. But it was something I couldn't measure on those levels..."
Losing words Hisae puts her palms on her head.
"What the hell fought what... and the annihilation of the demon god. So are the psychometlers okay?
"The most sensitive person was blown up a few meters on the spot, but there are no reports of anything else in his life. But... I'm not conscious."
"... you might have seen something. Ask as soon as your consciousness returns. Anything else?
Investigators will wait for instructions as they roll through the survey.
Hisae began to think about the future. Light rain comes around.
"Anyway...... keep investigating. I'll ask you to put it together as a report by the end of the week. Oh, don't forget to control information, please. The name of this case will be unified with Shinagawa Demon God. There's too much I don't know anyway. Keep track of everything that's trivial. Don't let your personal judgment put you at the mercy of information."
"Yes, sir."
Again, looking sideways at the researcher's later appearance toward the investigation, Yicheng looks at the sky darkened by the rain clouds.
"He who is fighting Shinagawa Demon God... Is that a person... or..."
Now it is light rain, but eventually Yicheng receives the rain with his face, which is likely to fall hard. He is one of the ten men with the title of [Demon Killer] and the head of the World Organisation of Competent Persons.
That grunt of Yicheng Shitianji was erased by its rain noise and reached no one.
It was light rain. When the rain began to fall in earnest......
From the building that nearly collapsed. Opposite the station.
It is further behind the aquarium, in the darkness of a narrow alley to the north of a large city hotel.
A boy is lying down on an asphalt with his elbow on one knee.
Its appearance is such a sight that it is losing its vitality from all over its body.
The boy was distorted by the rain noise, leaking a faint whimper, and his body seemed to tremble in small pieces.
