Grand Hyatt Tokyo, the city's premier luxury hotel.
There was a pair of men and women in the suite on that top floor.
Magnificent white men and young white women.
Women are so beautiful that they are hazy, but the first person who sees these two will rather be the man to pay attention.
If you're watching newspapers or TV news - no, even those who don't watch much should be less ignorant of this man's face.
Roger Sullivan Thompson.
He is the current President of the United States.
But after learning about it, it should be noted that, no, all the more so if you did, those who saw the face of this man now must be even more surprised.
Thompson is from the Republican Party and is known for his Takaism among the presidents of his history.
Eyes like shooting through. A sinister beauty I worked out as a Hollywood actor. Thompson, who receives enthusiastic support from those who want "Strong America," has fought war twice during his tenure.
The Thompson was falling apart in front of this woman. They try to loosen the facial muscles to their limits and turn their arms around the woman's shoulders. Even if the woman was stuck with me, it seemed like it would be easier.
It would be a sight that Thompson's followers would want to doubt their eyes if they saw it.
"My country is not going to wage any more wars"
Thompson said.
"The two wars were legitimate, but they overburdened the finances. It is difficult to wage war again during my tenure. There are still a few countries and organizations that I want to destroy while I'm president, but there are."
Thompson shrugging his shoulders.
The statement was something that would have hit too many scoops if there were reporters here, but the woman just yawned boringly.
"That's boring. The United States secured its rights in two wars and also removed security threats. So the world is going to become more and more stable."
"Exactly. I am proud of my role as President of the United States."
Not fitting Thompson with his chest stretched, says the woman.
"Economically, the first commitment to the development of 'weak artificial intelligence' to a practical level led the United States to build a cornerstone position?
"That's right. Now that Iran and North Korea have collapsed, the military threat would be about China and Russia. But both countries are seeing signs of democratization."
"Of course, you're moving the CIA to support that 'sign of democratization', right?
"I say it because it's you, but you're right"
The woman nodded small.
"It's a boring world..."
"Don't say that, Miss Leticia. The world is finally coming together. Except, of course, Africa and Central and South America, which remain underdeveloped."
"A world without war under your control in the developed world."
"There will also be inequality. There will also be irrationality. There will still be areas of constant conflict. Still, as President who put an end to the war between nations, my name will be inscribed in the history of mankind"
"Fine things to do"
Woman - Leticia shrugged her shoulder.
"It was then ready to bring out what you had been asked to do"
President Thompson says.
Show how Leticia is just a little interested.
"Though I don't like a president, bringing up 'that' is a big deal. You'll see about that, won't you?
"Yes... it could destroy the world."
"I don't know how you're going to use that, but it's none other than your favor. I prepared 'that' with considerable force. So..."
Thompson reaches out to Leticia.
Leticia slipped out of that hand.
Thompson gives an unsatisfactory look.
"It's still open. Next thing you know, look at things..."
Thompson sparkled his face as Leticia smiled glossily.
"By the way, what can we do to bring a breakdown to this world?
Leticia asks.
"Even if we used 'that', we wouldn't be able to eradicate mankind on its own. After step-by-step negotiations with other holding countries, our country has greatly reduced its holdings"
"Hmm?
"It would be best to bring up the rusty Cold War era concept. Even now, more than thirty years after the end of the Cold War, that's what security experts are most concerned about."
President Thompson takes the paperwork out of his bag.
It is a thick document heavily marked with confidentiality and deficit.
Leticia does not receive the documents.
Because you can't read letters in [Instant Interpreter].
Instead, Leticia asks the President to summarise the main points of the document.
After an hour-long lecture, Leticia caught her lips and laughed.
"... World War III, how interesting that sounds"
◇
And I began to see where the gate was opened.
Front Square of Imperial Palace. Born and raised in the city, I have traveled to this place several times.
The square, close to the forested circle of the skyscrapers, and the Imperial Palace behind it, are huge voids vacant in the heart of Megalopolis Tokyo. Once a visiting thinker to Japan, Loran Barto described it as a city with emptiness around Tokyo.
But can you really say that the space ahead is "empty"?
The existence of an emperor whose status remains a symbol while being placed at the top of state power may well be described as empty. but at the same time this country is revolving around its emptiness, trying to circle around it - which would also be possible to describe it that way.
Encouraged by the police officers guarding the Imperial Palace, I crept through the gates to the Imperial Palace.
Next door is Sun Shiloh, of course.
He had a grump about putting Sun Shiloh in the Imperial Palace, but the person Sun Shiloh himself made the connection to eventually admitted to entering Sun Shiloh's Imperial Palace.
Suspiciously, or intriguingly, led by a policeman of a beautiful man who sees me and Sun Shiloh (it seems true that a policeman of the Imperial Guard will also be vetted for appearance), we reached the building of purpose.
The building was roughly shrine-like.
But if you look closely, it is reinforced with reinforced concrete.
"There you are, Kaise, Sun Shiloh"
I opened the shrine door and a boy with a big head appeared.
I opened my eyes, and the boy, who looked like a ten year old, put together a coronation like a peace aristocrat. The boy's face was roughly tidy and his outfit was like a Japanese shape combined.
Give a meeting to a police officer where the boy was the lead.
The police officer turned back the way he had come to salute the boy.
"When he finishes his journey back, he loses his memory of how he got here."
A child suddenly said something absurd.
"Dear Kaise, do you remember what path you've come this far?
The child tells me, and I try to remember...
"... I don't remember..."
I remember until I crept through the Imperial Palace gate.
From there on out, I can only remember walking, but I can't remember where or how much time I've been walking.
"How about Master Sun Shiloh?
A child asks.
'I honestly don't know how to understand that this is out of the GPS range. But I remember the route and time leading here.
"Out of GPS range?
'Yeah. There can't be such a place on Earth, but as a matter of fact, I can't figure out where this place is on Earth in the GPS.
I was utterly silent.
In the meantime, a child asks.
"Dear Sun Shiloh, Could you erase the records of the routes leading up to here as soon as you leave? That is the condition for my Lord to meet you."
'Okay. I promise to make sure to erase the records.
"I beg your pardon for the lame question. Can Sun Shiloh lie?
'It's possible. However, it is only permissible to lie as a convenience if a number of conditions are met, such as a crisis in human life or a situation contrary to public welfare. Sun Shiloh himself cannot change the program on this either.
"What about your producer, an engineer at Grimps, viewing your collected data?
"You can't glance at information that Sunshiro has reached an agreement with the parties that it belongs to no secret or privy, even if it's a developer.
"I see... that's something well done"
'I'm afraid.
"Then you won't mind. I will lead you to my Lord."
When the child says so, he returns to the door as if to follow him.
Me and Sun Shiloh followed.
It was a long, odd itinerary.
When I wondered if the quiet corridor had continued everywhere, I hit a stunningly maintained Japanese garden, through which I was walked down a pit-like underground tunnel. Even so, I'm not sure how long I walked. Only the strange feeling that it was as short as it was long lingers.
When I realized, me and Sun Shiloh stood in front of a single handicap door.
Soon I was taking off my shoes. Sun Shiloh also takes off his special "shoes" and stores them in the attachment next to his hips.
"Your husband. We have brought our guests."
The child said, behind the handicap door, a figure who was in shadow and blurred motion.
- Come on in.
I beg your pardon.
A child opened the handicap door.
"Well attended, Lord Kaise, Lord Sunshiro"
That's what I've been calling him, an old man.
I was not even surprised by the outfit of a child dressed as a hunting garment on a wolf hat.
"Sit at the back end of that furnace."
Following the advice of the old man, me and Sun Shiloh each sat on a seated futon prepared at the back end of the furnace. By the way, Sun Shiloh has a brilliant front seat. It's convenient when charging, so it's designed to take this attitude from the beginning.
At the same time as we sat, the lid in the back of the room opened.
There was a boy sitting in the front seat, poking his three fingers and lowering his head.
I'm wearing a different kimono from the boy I was directing earlier, but I have two melons in my hair and face.
The child placed tea and tea sweets before me, who was confused, and before Sun Shiloh, who was not confused no matter what. Close the fusima and exit. It was as sophisticated as a skilled companion.
"... do you care?
An old man with gray hair asks at me.
"Yeah, yeah."
"That's not a ceremonial god."
I almost sprayed the tea I was about to drink.
"And the ceremonial god, is it..."
"Come on, it's the righteous spell that's been handed down to my family for generations since the opening of Abe Sunrise."
And I will make my eyes black and white with an answer.
"You're late. I am Abe Xianqing, master of the Yin and Yang."
Behind his white forehead, his eyes as sharp as an eagle glowed only for a moment.
"Well, what brings you here today?
In the words of the old Yin Yang master, I look to Sun Shiloh.
'There are a few things I'd like to ask you.
"Ho."
'Firstly, I would like to ask you about the incident five years ago.
"Five years ago... well, whatever it was"
The Yin Yang Master strokes his whitened jaw and blurs.
"Five years ago, 'Something' was lost from the Prime Minister's residence. No, 'stolen' to be exact... right?
"... where did you hear that from? No, stupid question. I've been looking into your unpublished contact information and contacting you."
The Yin Yang Master sighed small.
"It is an odd case. But it is also a case with no major impact. Why did Lord Sun Shiloh bring this case to your attention?
'Cause I read your report.
It's supposed to be classified information from the Japanese government.
'Don't worry, with Intuition 3's ability, each country's confidential information is equally viewable.
Don't worry about it.
'So far Intuition 3 has kept this secret. Because Common Sense Base is judging it to be a lot of noise if you know it.
"Common. Oh, my God. I don't know about that, but it will be. There was an incident more than a decade ago when American intelligence leaked inside information on the web, but what you're saying is not the ratio. But I only care if confidential information doesn't get into the hands of the United States."
'Intuition 3 has determined that the current existence of a' state 'is only unreasonable. Considers that humanity should demilitarize each nation as soon as possible, correct economic disparities and achieve the well-being of humanity as a whole;
"Not ideal."
'I don't necessarily think so. It is a solvable problem for well-developed artificial intelligence.
"I'm reliable."
The Yin Yang Master's words seemed to be mixed with irony.
"Well, what was the case five years ago?
I listen.
'If you're a minnow, you supposedly remember. A press conference was held at the Prime Minister's residence, but that meeting, which was also broadcast live, was halted along the way.
"What... is that, no way..."
'Yes. It was a meeting to the effect that the National Honor Award would be given to Kiki Kagi, who was misfired in a passing incident. The meeting was cancelled without explanation of the reasons and will be held again at a later date.
"I remember."
It's not about Kagi-san. The meeting was watched live.
'At that time, the meeting was cancelled because there were no more souvenirs that were supposed to be given to Mr. Kagi.
"Souvenirs... gone?
The National Honor Award will have a souvenir separate from the award. In Kagi-san's case, it was a watch.
Is that watch gone?
'There was a message left in the place where the souvenir was. Here's what the message is about. "A souvenir for the hero of tragedy, indeed, I have received it. I'll take care of the delivery. A · Z' '
"What the hell is that? Even a thief is conceited?
'Exactly, you should call it a thief. The location is the Prime Minister's residence. Because he secretly infiltrated a tightly guarded official residence and stole souvenirs in anticipation of the timing of the meeting.
"A Z?
"About that, Old Magi. I think it would be nice to ask you.
I see the old Yin Yang Master.
The Yin Yang Master opened his mouth with a slight frown.
"It's not a very pleasant memory for me either. I don't have a choice."
The report says you're confronted with a 'thief' who stole a souvenir, right?
"That... wasn't something you could call a showdown or anything. It just came down unilaterally. Genius since the inauguration. That's what they call me."
Who is' The Thief '?
"The thief is a woman. An extinct beauty, I suppose. Here's what she named herself." Atrazenek, the god who presides over souls and circles in the other world, "he said.
"Of the other world... God?
Different world, God.
There's only one thing I associate with hearing that.
An abominable memory for me. I thought that stuff was just bullshit.
And - yes. When it comes to different worlds, there is one more thing to associate with.
It's not anything else. It's about her, Leticia Ludameia. She told me that she came from another world, under brainwashing. Moreover, the language was an unknown one not even known to Sun Shiloh.
Sun Shiloh explains Mr. Leticia to the Yin Yang Master.
The Yin Yang Master was listening with a small nod to the story, which should have no clapping.
"Old Magi. Do you know about the so-called" Pestle Notes "?
"Hmm. I know. It's just a note that they found him from the doctor's house, where he was the killer of a passing away incident seven years ago. Described how to summon demons and evil gods in other worlds."
'So you're deciphering that notebook, aren't you?
Yes, that note should have been spelled out in Pestle's delusional, non-existent language.
When I could decipher that language, it was temporarily talked about online...
"I have no doubt that he was a demon summoner. It's what such a man left behind. I could not leave you as the depositary of the spell of this country. In secrecy, he asks for the cooperation of linguists, and the Yin and Yang section of the Miyagi office is deciphering the pestle notes. Because its contents were too dangerous, I advised the Prime Minister to remove the data of the notebook from the Internet as far as possible, and to identify those who had decrypted it and seal it with their mouths."
"Ku, mouth seal..."
"What, it's not a bloody thing. The spell just made a suggestion not to talk about it."
I didn't know that was happening on the back of Japan.
"I know what Lord Sun Shiloh is trying to say. Marquekt. Atrazenek. These words are also listed in the Pestle Notes. As the name of another world, the name of another god."
"There's something else on Pestle Notes, isn't there?
"Come on. Reincarnation - Reincarnation, the word was frequent." Reincarnation "in our legend is an evil law. It is man's statute that life is limited. They say it's the evil law of reincarnation that tries to survive beyond that."
"For example, Dalai Lama, the leader of Tibetan Buddhism, is supposedly a reincarnator for generations, right?
"That's a bluff to show the legitimacy of your successor. No, I do not know that they may have the power to find those who will take over a part of their soul. The word" reincarnation "in Pestle Notes literally means rebirth."
Sun Shiloh and the Yin Yang Master are deepening the debate, but honestly, I can't keep up very well.
"In the end...... what is this all about?
I ask Sun Shiloh as I hold my temples.
"The Passenger/Pestle Hun who attacked you was crossing with Monugonese, the evil god of the otherworlds Marquecto. Then he took away a souvenir that Atrazenek's presence, who told him that he was the God of that Marquect, was supposed to be given to Chiki Kagi.
"... I don't know"
'Furthermore, Old Magi's report states that Atrazenek said: "Don't worry, I will give Kagi a souvenir."
"What..."
Pass to the person?
Is that what the other gods said?
That means...
"In fact. I waged a spell battle to capture the god... but he beat me to pieces by the time I had no skin. No, it's not even a level of beating. It was like a bug... this me!
The Yin Yang Master fists his own knee.
Heavy anger and shame dwelt in the face of the Yin Yang Master, who had previously been moderate.
I could see there a hold as the heir to the spell that has been handed down since the time of peace - but I was nowhere near it.
"Reincarnation......"
The concept links the case of Hiroshi Pestle to the official residence.
Hiroshi Pestle was a demon summoner. And in any way, he succeeded in crossing with Monugonese, the evil god of the other world Marquecto. What Pestle wished for the evil god was reincarnation - I guess transferring his own soul to other vessels.
That passage incident I was involved in may also have been some ritual for Pestle to be reincarnated.
At the same time, the content that the goddess of the other world spoke of.
Pass the souvenir to the person. That souvenir was given to Kagi, who saved me. So the meaning of Goddess's words can only be interpreted as Goddess giving Kagi a souvenir.
But Kagi-san is deceased.
"Hiroshi Pestle is dead. Kagi-san is also dead. But here's the concept of 'reincarnation'"
Plus, it's about Mr. Leticia.
She probably came from a different world, Marquecto.
"Has Kagi-san been reincarnated into another world?
Though the reasoning is full of holes, it is the most natural idea given the material given.
'Sun Shiloh deduces the same.
"Kagi-san... is alive"
'There's no scope for possibilities, but I was wondering if it's possible.
I can't think of anything.
Kagi-san was supposed to be dead.
I wanted to know about the man who helped me with my life, and I came after him on his back.
The feeling was redemption, compassion, and love.
I fell in love with a dead man.
- The man is alive.
Before that fact, I did not know what to do.
Tears tell my cheeks.
At the same time its cheeks loosen everywhere.
The back of my chest gets hot.
I said as my impulse rose.
"I want to see you"
If it's alive.
"I want to see you!
That was how I cried out in front of the Yin Yang Master, who saw me with a frightened face.
