"Please wait here"

A female police officer in uniform says so in the guided reception room and drops him off after the room.

I take a breather as I sink my hips on the couch.

It's been a long time since I've been here, but it's still a big building.

Though it will oversee nearly 50,000 police officers in Tokyo, the whole building is the police headquarters, and even though it is the three-tube headquarters (Third Precinct Maritime Security Headquarters) that oversees all the waters of the Kanto region, it is a miscellaneous residence with other ministries, right? There's too much difference in treatment.

It really doesn't bother me that an earlier female cop (who is pissed off lately about being a lady cop or something) brought me tea.

You look like you're hiring! Because we're not retiring up there, you can't hire a young girl forever. Trade me.

Wait for the intended person to come along thinking such a stupid thing.

Well, I know very well that thinking about this is an escape from reality in itself.

Five days ago, an emergency request came into my three-tube security and distress department.

It was a communication that a Japanese deep-sea survey vessel had been wrecked within the Japanese trench at a depth of 4200 metres at a point 650 km off the coast of the general peninsula.

Expedite a high-speed patrol boat and a large patrol boat with a heliport to the scene.

Distance, though. It takes more than ten hours to arrive.

Five hours after the first call, the location of the survey vessel was revealed, but it was crushed by a large rock and it was impossible to escape on its own.

Fortunately, because the pressure-resistant shells with the passengers were built sturdy enough to withstand 700 bar, or because they were all safe so far, the problem is afterwards.

As the situation becomes apparent, the difficulty of rescuing emerges.

Until the next day a high-speed patrol ship arrived in the field waters in a few hours of delay, but was unable to strike one effective hand in the deep sea beyond 4,000 metres.

Naturally, I wasn't just holding my hand.

It carries out detailed investigations by several unmanned exploration vessels on board the mother ship of the deep-sea survey vessel and the removal of dirt and sand around the wrecked deep-sea survey vessel, as well as requests for support for maritime militias.

But in fact, the sea itself did not have effective means.

Even though the passengers are alive, nothing can be done and only time passes for no reason.

The life-support time of the survey vessel is approximately 130 hours. This means that water, food and oxygen are just about ready to sustain life for about five days.

But the limit is close, too.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

One man came in about fifteen minutes after being put through to the reception room.

"Hey, sorry about the busy part, Detective."

Exchange greetings in a deliberate light tone to calm down your feelings.

By the way, "Named Detective" is a nickname from this eye-opener, Akechi Goro's student days.

He and I were brilliantly all in the same class in middle school and high school at the same corrupt edge, we were the true opposite of serious, perfectionist, big mess and not caring about details, but for some reason the horses fit strangely. Interaction continues to the extent that police officers and the coast sheriff break up their positions and sometimes take them out for drinks.

As it seemed, Koitsu had long been a smart, eye-catcher, and his classmates started calling him "The Named Detective" because he was the same last name as a famous detective who appeared in a novel about the Edo River rampage of different things. I hated him the most.

"Long time no see. Besides, what the hell is wrong with you coming all the way to the police station?

Though he gave me a slightly unpleasant look to greet him, Akechi asked me to go straight to the police department where I usually never came.

"I want to come into contact with a man named 'Kronos' in the Seajack case"

I don't have time, and I don't need any extra foreboding on my Koitsu opponent, so I answer with a straight ball.

"............... are you serious?

"Oh."

For a moment, Akechi looks at me seriously.

but I can't afford to do this now enough to joke about it.

Answer the reason with your gaze. Speak wisely about the deep-sea investigation ship wreck.

"I know I don't have a hitter. But I don't think even that guy named 'Kronos' can do anything. Can't the sea itself?

"It would be 400 water depths at best, or 500 meters at the limit, to be able to work with a saturated submersible installation that is on the ocean's own. In the first place, even the world's highest 'Yuryu type' submarine boasted by the sea itself seems to have a maximum depth of 1,000 meters. I can't do anything. Sure, it would be unlimited, but there are also incidents of tunnel crashes in Nagano. Now I just have to do it."

"But I can't say anything because I'm not an expert, but still, the deep sea would be a pretty special environment. You really think you can handle this? Besides, what are you going to do with the persuasion up there?"

Too obvious an indication of wisdom.

But I still think it's possible.

Even during the Seajack incident, no, the museum raid before it, but eyewitness testimony said that the man who named him 'Kronos' stopped the bullet with some kind of barrier-like invisible barrier despite terrorists firing automatic small arms.

And a tunnel crash. In the testimony of the rescue who was at the scene, he moved the dirt and sand like a creature without touching it, just holding hands. There were also testimonies that hundreds more kilometres lifted a certain debris lightly.

None of this is easy to believe, but if this is true and you can do that without having to touch it directly, you might be able to use a spare deep-sea survey vessel to dispatch 'Kronos' to the scene and free the survey vessel buried in the rock beds and dirt sand. Besides, the huge rock formations that are the biggest obstacle may also be able to use underwater explosives if that invisible barrier can be used on survey ships.

It's only a matter of possibility, and I'm sure I don't know one thing about not asking myself what I can actually do. We'll need to verify if underwater explosives can be used in the deep sea.

But the three passengers on the Deep Sea Survey ship will die while nothing can be done like this.

Both the crew of the ship's mother ship and the Marine Marshals who are currently working in the field are squeezing their strength into what they can do.

Even if it works, it'll be annoying up there, but I'll do everything I can with my authority.

Hey, if the rescuer needs help, I'll write as many final notes later, demote HR, and take responsibility.

Akechi listened to my decision in silence with his arms around him.

And then I said, "Wait a minute," and I left the room, and I'll be right back.

"It is the material of a terrorist repellent in a museum-occupied incident known to date and a person who named 'Kronos' in the Seajack case and the tunnel crash. But unfortunately, there's no physical evidence."

Get a bunch of paperwork out of the envelope you were given as you listened to Akechi.

That's a good amount. There are about 50 sheets of A4 paper.

An outline of the incident, which I believe 'Kronos' was first associated with, is written bissilli on three sheets of paper. It's as good as ever. Nevertheless, I also grasp these so I skip reading them lightly.

The next thing I know is a suspect in 'Kronos' who punches the core quickly, no, it's not like he's a criminal, so he's a candidate.

There was a picture of one young man printed there.

"" Hiroya Kashiwagi "? Age is 21, college student. Does the family consist of one parent and one sister? What are the odds?"

"I told you. There is no physical evidence. But I'm pretty sure."

Well? If he says so much, it doesn't seem to be a mistake.

"You have a basis, don't you?

"Firstly, the person who did the mask-o-ida cosplay, who dominated the terrorists during last year's museum-occupation incident. This year, the person named" Kronos "appeared during the Ship's Seejack incident, which also involved Senba's place, has been identified as the same person after video analysis of stature, shape, walking style, etc.

Among the victims of these two incidents is only one person involved in both cases. That's the man's sister. Furthermore, it has been confirmed that the man was also with him at the time of the Seajack incident, but only the restaurant where the man was is located is where all the employees and guests are in some way put to sleep during the incident. Testimony says the area suddenly dimmed and was struck by intense drowsiness. However, no drugs such as sleeping pills were detected either in the store or in the body of the sleeped person. "

"Is that all?

"No, at that point, it's still something like just an important reference person. But when I narrowed it down to the guy and checked it out, things came up."

I was prompted to look at the next document and roll the paper.

There was a list of events suspected to be related to the ”official” incident involving "Hiroya Kashiwagi".

The illegal drug trafficking and serial mass assaults on women in the event circle of the university to which they belong, the attempted theft at famous events in games and comics, and the recent shooting of homemade pistols by idle talent stalkers, is this the official case? There is a copy of the report by the competent police.

Suspected links include the devastation of a half-grey group that was selling illegal drugs to a university circle, the aforementioned assault on a man with a blade during an event appearance by an idle talent, and the arrest of all designated gang affiliates who were blackmailing the home of a close senior's social opponent for violating the gun knife law and for current criminals in possession of an awakener.

"Shortly after the incident in which the idle talent was attacked during the event, Yuya Kashiwagi has become the bodyguard of the said talent. Plus, Yuya Kashiwagi and her family are living together in a tunnel crash that matches the characteristics of three women considered 'Kronos' companions. Plus those three are homeless. The man's parents have been applied for registration as identity underwriters, two are already allowed and the other is currently in process.

And one more thing. "

That's what Akechi said, pulling the necklace out of his chest, removing it, and putting it on his desk.

Is the material silver? A type of fine decorative chain with two rings going through one ring that seems to be the same material as a pendant head inspired by flowers that girls in their late teens and 20s might prefer. It's brilliant to make, but honestly it doesn't feel that fancy. Wouldn't a police bureaucrat wear platinum or something more like that? Besides, the design doesn't seem smart.

"It's an ornament that a man has been selling on telemarketing sites since last year. The site does not show any effect or efficacy, but the evaluation review and review sites say that fatigue can be removed, illness has improved, skin is feeling better and rejuvenated, and diabetes and cancer have healed. It doesn't seem to be Sakura because there are multiple regions and people writing from the IP of the written account and there is nothing suspicious about it.

I actually bought it to try and use it, but at least the effect of fatigue recovery was acknowledged. Some effect has been exerted, without exception, even though my wife and friends have also tried it but have not communicated any prior information.

The material is made of silver, which is also available in regular craft shops, and there is nothing suspicious about it... "

Akechi said a few words before continuing.

"Pretty fine workmanship, as you can see, but I can't see any abrasion marks on the microscope. The chain likewise has no ring joints, an unusual substitute."

Listen to the explanation and stop.

".................. hey"

After a brief silence, I finally squeeze out the words.

"... what"

"Koitz...... are you really willing to hide who you are?

"Don't ask me"

No, I know it's a lot too much.

It is difficult to understand the case of the event circle and the case of a close senior. I don't know if I got caught up in it or if I stuck my neck in it myself, but if my friend is a party, he'll be involved. And the museum occupation case and the Seajack case. My family and myself got involved.

But other incidents and accidents are obviously sticking their necks in from themselves. Nevertheless, if you are acquiring unusual abilities, is it possible to run with a youth-like sense of justice?

"Even so, I guess I'll be as careful as I can at once. The ornaments sold have no special effects, and the selling price is reasonable or low in terms of quality. The case doesn't seem to have left any physical evidence or anything to be proud of the people around it. However, I don't understand the point of purposefully putting a special effect on accessories for sale to the public, or hiding their appearance with flashy outfits that stand out when they do.

You may not think the police are serious about investigating, especially because they are not committing a clear criminal act.

I don't think we're actually doing that much research in each jurisdiction. "

Akechi (Omae) is doing a thorough research.

Whatever it is, it helps to have a clear identity. I thought I would never leave him unidentified because I meant him, but it's a better achievement than I expected.

The following documents also state that the confirmed competence is questionable:

· Abnormal motor skills

-Flight capability (at the time of entry of the museum-occupied incident)

· Ability to stop an automatic small gun bullet (it is not known if it is like an invisible barrier or acts on a single bullet)

· Ability to create and manipulate liquids of liquid nitrogen or similar properties

- Ability to make baggage of bag size invisible or erased

· Ability to heal men shot and wounded with guns and men and women seriously injured in collapses in more than a decade without touching them

· Ability to cover several kilograms of plastic bomb explosions with invisible barriers or force fields without causing damage to the perimeter

· Ability to create water in a space of nothing and manipulate it like a creature

- Ability to grab a bullet fired from a 36-calibre pistol with bare hands

· Ability to manipulate and move an estimated few tons of dirt and sand like a liquid organism

- Ability to lift an estimated 300 kg of debris

· Ability to disappear and travel at high speeds or like instantaneous movements (may also be used against third parties)

· Ability to deform and process metal without tools

· Ability to blow or stun an object without touching it

Additional Information

-Possession of oral fluid that completely healed in an instant two injured children and their mothers, who appeared fatally injured in the rescue's personal opinion

............... what the hell?

No, no, no, no, it's not possible, is it?

I know more about the Seajack case, too. We did a joint investigation with the police. The reported abilities alone were outrageous, but the other incidents are known only in the press.

I remember the press making a pretty funny, crazy noise, but this content is flying more than that.

Isn't it completely a monthly M.O. project?

It's not like I have special abilities or anything. If we could achieve even half of what's written here, a hundred years ago, we would surely be treated like gods.

"What's written there is the ability to have sightings, but it's actually unknown. There is also the possibility of some kind of trick. But I'm pretty sure some of them possess abilities."

"What is the last liquid written?

"It's about 150 ml of liquid in a vial that 'Kronos' provided to rescue crew during the crash. Part of it was first given to a five-year-old girl whose lungs were crushed cardiopulmonary arrest, and the rest was used by a mother whose bottom was crushed from her lower abdomen. They both healed instantly in front of the rescue crew. For the first child, 'Kronos' herself, and for the mother, the rescue gave her a drink, but the effect was the same.

A prefectural police investigation investigated the liquid left in the bottle later recovered, but the main ingredients are water, some kind of mineral, and what appears to be organic matter of plant origin has been detected, but the details remain unclear. "

I don't know.

It's like a magic drug that appears in animated play games. If they figure it out, the medical community will fly.

But what matters this time is the seventh and tenth abilities.

If this is real, I can hope to rescue a deep-sea survey ship.

"Thanks. I'm sorry, but I need to borrow the materials for a little while."

If we get this far, we'll have to meet and talk to him later.

I get up off the couch. I don't have time for this.

"Are you going? Then I'll accompany you."

That's what Akechi said to me, so I'm sweet on that word.

I came by train. He must have been a car commuter.

But are you okay with your job?

He traveled in Akechi's car and soon arrived at the university attended by "Hiroya Kashiwagi".

It was subtle to see if he was still in college in time, but from what the college staff checked, he seemed to be inside the school, so I could see him. Lucky.

He will be guided to the reception room for visitors, where he will wait for the intended person to come.

The door was knocked without waiting much longer.

"Excuse me."

That's what I said and came in as a long-sleeved young man.

It's about half an 180cm platform and you can see it's skinny but pretty well worked out.

Other than that, I don't see any features that would highlight that much.

but that's just the way it looks.

It's not that I'm intimidating or compelling. Something, like a tremendous amount of energy took shape as it was.

At first glance I understood.

He's not normal.

It's not that you're not human or abnormal, but you're different from us as beings.

This guy... looks like he can count on it.
