The Hero Who Returned Remains the Strongest in the Modern World

"Looks like you're impotent. How was the end?

At the abandoned shrine in the back of Hakone, I asked Senior Abeno.

"Anyway, it's amazing. No kidding, perfect finish."

"It's not the usual strengths, is it?

"Yes, spears or artillery - bring me a fully armed Leila-Sakaguchi or whatever."

That's how I snorted.

"Excellent."

And Senior Abeno nodded cocklessly again.

"I'll definitely stop Leila-Sakaguchi."

"Yeah, the two of us will definitely bring them back"

Side: Leila-Sacaguchi

Inn in Hakone.

I was in yukata, scrubbing jade dew at the window.

Watch the sunset sky as you grab some tea treats.

And one long sigh.

- I set myself apart from half a body.

Dear brave man.

Daiki Morishita truncated my... childhood irreplaceable.

It hurts so much that my heart seems to be torn apart, and I feel like a pock-and-hole loss.

But... and I think.

In the last nine years I've got something important.

Like you can always care about me like a fool and really give up your life for me.

I could meet such stupid, insanely loving people.

- So I'll definitely protect the remaining half. In the name of my life...

And that's where my phone rang.

"... what?

It was from the Saint Knight Linford.

"I need to talk to you a little bit, why don't you give me some meaning to deepen your rapport, even while we're in the wind at night?

"Unfortunately, I don't even feel like joking with you?

"Okay. So shall I rephrase it? This is an order. You may assume it's the Vatican's will."

"... ok"

A corner of Hakone's hot spring town.

Drinker...... When I walked into the bar, Lynford, the blonde longue, was rocking a china blue cocktail glass with graceful tricks.

"So, what is it? This one's after... I'm out in an hour? I mean, wouldn't it be a good story if you didn't leave it to a miscellaneous fish like me to strike out in the first place?

"Well, I thought I'd tell you a bunch of stories."

"Blah, blah, blah?

"Do you know the story a while back of experimenting with a new bomb off the Pacific coast?

I was off-the-record, too, and I checked the site the other day, but there was still thunder at the scene.

Maybe it was him who did it. Maybe...... he came back and tried shooting or something.

"No, I don't."

"And the ritual of the resurrection of the Nine Tails… indeed, the story is that the time of the resurrection was a mistake"

So I felt an unpleasant sweat on my back with Zokri.

This guy... are you noticing this after a while?

"So, what's wrong with that? Reports say it was an error in the resurrection period...? No way, local exorcists like how many there are like Abeno Fai Night defeated Nine Tails? That's too much nonsense."

"Is that it? Is that crazy?

"Hmm?"

"I didn't tell you any unrealistic stories like you said the locals would take down Nine Tails, did I? Why is it that all of a sudden the story is leaping and it's like a high school girl crusaded Nine Tails?

……

Linford laughed as he could see through.

"This seemed a little mean. Mr. Leila? Let's talk blah blah blah. The new bomb weapon experiment, and the nine-tailed thing… I have a star."

……

"Brave..."

Dobba ran like a waterfall on my back all the time.

"Brave? About what?

"The new bomb weapon experiment, and the nine-tailed thing...... and one boy. The Vatican has not yet noticed on this matter. In the first place, the Vatican doesn't know anything about the other world."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

You're secretive, aren't you?

……

"I'm back from the other world again, too. So I'm guessing who you are. Vampires and Heavenly Wings... Was it? You're lucky to have been certified a miracle by the Vatican."

"... I don't know exactly what you're talking about."

"Seems like he's going to pierce secrecy everywhere. Well, that's good."

……

"Anyway, I'm in trouble."

"Trouble?"

"It is difficult for the Vatican to know the existence of different worlds. It is only so easy to know the existence of a world that can gain the power to break the balance of power in the world…"

"... what are you trying to say?

"I plan to climb to the top of the Vatican. Until then, the Vatican will have to remain weak as an entire organization."

……

"At first, I was going to erase you. But for some reason, the Vatican seems to recognize you as unusually valuable."

"I don't know for sure myself, but you seem to be. I've been given Longinus, and I can't blame you for using it on my own."

"So getting rid of you is not a good idea at the moment. Even with me, it's a bad idea to move without knowing the relationship between you and the Vatican."

"... so?

"I will monitor all of your assignments on this one. And assuming the warriors of the other world... if an uncertain molecule in my plan emerges, make that observation."

"Observation?"

"As I said earlier, moving without knowing the situation is a lower measure. Can we have a friendly relationship with the uncertainty factor or not... well, as far as I'm concerned, it would be nice if you didn't leak information about the other world to the Dark Organization, starting with the Vatican."

Here, completely, I decided aggressively that the contact between Daiki Morishita and Linford would not be Loc.

Even the last time we broke up, maybe this guy even assumed to ask Daiki Morishi for help.

No, I probably will.

Anyway, there seems to be no mistake in not asking Daiki Morishima for help at that time and he was right.

Later, I hope he doesn't squeeze out on this one...

"I didn't know exactly what you were talking about, but that's all you got to do?

"It's like a fox and a fox."

Linford laughed cously, and pounded his palms.

"Oh, there's another thing. After this mission, your Guardians will be flown to Africa."

"Africa......?

"Spiritual security operations in conflict zones, right? There are still magicians on the table around there... and the situation is chaos"

"So I'm in Africa, too? Damn... that's a rough crowd."

"No, you will be placed under my supervision in Japan."

"What do you mean?

"I have advanced to the Vatican. Don't give yourself too much power to be a disturbing molecule..."

"You mean the breakup between me and the Guardians?

"I don't need to go so far as you. But I care about Vatican's unusual obsession with you. And your knowledge of different worlds is very dangerous. Well, you can take me hostage."

"... hostages? You mean take the Guardians as shields?

"As for the other worlds, please continue to do so in Danmari... and be my right arm and do your best for my future achievements in the Vatican."

"What if I disobey that word?

"It's a conflict area. Accidents like the loss of life in unforeseen circumstances are attachments. I'm in the same situation as you are in the future... you already have quite a few children, don't you? Whenever I go to Africa, anywhere, in dozens of people, I'm going to be an assassin."

……

So Linford laughed with pleasure.

"Your complexion is bright blue. What's wrong?

"... in the meantime, this mission will be carried out perfectly"

That's all I said. I got up, and I left the bar.

As such, he returned to the inn in a flimsy foothold.
