Just as Honami predicted, the fierce battle between good and evil that took place in the Great Lake of Ever Darkness is unknown to the inhabitants of civilized society.

Takata's fall from the building was widely reported, one is that he has a sensitive identity of the police department, and the other is that many shady police circles can be dug up around him.

In comparison, the fact that the president of Hinata Company Masaki Kosa disappeared suddenly did not attract much attention, and even very few people knew about it.

In fact, if Xiang Chuan hadn't been ordered by Police Chief Kato to clean up the aftermath, and if Takata had introduced him to Kosa several times, he would not have noticed the report of Kosa Masaki's sudden disappearance.

Kozuo and Takata are of the same breed, and they are also the person responsible for contacting "that". Sometimes Xiang Chuan even thinks that he is much more difficult to deal with than the sperm-like Takata.

Now after Takada's sudden fall from the building, even Kozuo has disappeared inexplicably. This made Xiang Chuan smell a certain danger, so he bit the bullet and knocked on the office of Chief Inspector Kato.

"Kasa Masaki? Who is that?" Unsurprisingly, Kato had no impression of the name.

"It's the partner of Takada Police Department, and the president of Hinata Company." Xiang Chuan reminded him in a low voice.

"He disappeared? And then? Was his body found somewhere?"

"No, no such report has been received so far." Xiang Chuan shook his head.

"Then what's all the fuss about? Maybe that guy saw something happened to Takata, and then he packed up the stolen money and fled in fear of crime? I heard that Tanjing is holding on to the tail left by Takata recently. He's an idiot." I will continue to stay and play with him."

Kato waved his hand, as if he didn't take Kosa's disappearance seriously at all, and asked about other things instead.

"The important thing is, what is (Kiryuu Kazuma) doing? What has that guy been up to lately?"

Different from the previous nonchalant tone, Kato's voice and expression overflowed with excess tension when he asked this question. Fortunately, the answer he didn't want to hear didn't appear.

"Yes, Kiryuu Kazuma recently went to the hospital to visit his partner who was hospitalized. Because the regulations do not allow the police to be dispatched alone, he was not able to perform activities with great fanfare during the period when his partner was hospitalized. Occasionally he would go out for a walk, but most It’s time to stay at your own dojo, and it seems to be claiming to be searching for talents for the mobile team.” Xiang Chuan lowered his head to report, and then heard the boss’s reassuring breath.

"Very good, very good. As long as the evil star doesn't cause trouble for us, we can stay in the house for as long as he wants. You can arrange this. In short, don't bother him. In addition, try to prolong his partner's stay in the hospital as much as possible."

Kato subconsciously made movements like cold sweat. After noticing the gaze of his subordinates, he turned his face and added: "This is also the meaning of the police, do it well."

"...Understood, then this subordinate will take my leave first." Xiang Chuan bowed respectfully, and then backed out of the chief inspector's office.

Kato didn't take Kosa Masaki's disappearance seriously at all. In fact, after listening to his opinion, Xiang Chuan suspected that he was a little too allergic. Probably Takata Yoko's death made him a frightened bird. Xiang Chuan even thought about arranging a hot spring tour in Hokkaido for himself and his lover to relax?

"ah…"

The moment he closed the office door, Xiang Chuan suddenly remembered that there was something else he forgot to report. The psychiatrist who had a close relationship with Jiazuo Zhengzhang, named Koji Ohira, suddenly reappeared in the psychiatric clinic after a few days of disappearance.

Xiang Chuan suspected that this incident might have something to do with Kosa Masaki's disappearance, but Kato obviously didn't want to make any further complications, so it would definitely be fruitless to report it at this time. Xiang Chuan hesitated for a while, and decided to put this matter behind him and prioritize the hot spring tour.

Tongyu Dojo is an ancient building registered in the Ministry of Education. Although its specific history can be traced back to which age it is impossible to study, but there are still some clues that can be found in the dojo.

For example, yesterday, Chiyoko dragged Kazuma to clean the old warehouse in the dojo that hadn't been opened for hundreds of years, and a pile of ancient books of considerable age was tossed out from the corner of the warehouse. Most of those ancient books are sword manuals and related books, but there are also several monogatari books that record monsters, gods and demons.

Lian Yuzao was quite surprised when she saw it, and said that those were rare copies that even the Jinguji family could not find, and the stories recorded on them were basically real events on the mysterious side. Tamamo seriously suggested Kazuma to read these monogatari books carefully, so as to prepare for dealing with Fuji Company and the mysterious side in the future.

"Let's see if we can find clues to ghost-humanization..."

In the room, Kazuma muttered to himself while flipping through the monogatari book absently.

Earlier, he talked to Yuzao about the mysterious serum that turned Kozuo into a ghost, but Yuzao said that it was also unheard of on the mysterious side, and she had no definite clues.

Currently, Tamamo is inquiring about similar clues through her channel, and Honami also instructed the Nanjo family to do their best to collect relevant information on Fukuzai Technology, but it may take some time until a clear result is obtained.

Originally, Kazuma intended to sneak directly into Fuji Technology to find out, but it was unanimously opposed by Tamamo Honami and others. The blessing technology teamed up with monsters is not what it used to be. Just from the fact that they produced ghost serum, we can get a glimpse of its scale and power at this time.

If you go deep into the enemy's lair casually when the enemy is in the dark, even a Juggernaut-level powerhouse can't guarantee that he can return safely, so at least Kazuma has to temporarily restrain itself before grasping the general outline of Fuji technology. Be sharp and recharge your batteries.

Another reason why Kazuma had to stop temporarily was Qingliu, or to be more precise, it was Qingliu's intermittent rain.

The last time he fought against the catfish spirit in Chang'an Great Lakes, in order to save Qingliu who was in danger, the ghostly spirit of Qingyu had consumed most of the monster's power, and now he was in a weak state that was almost asleep. At present, the Kiryu dojo has become a place of eternal darkness for the shelter of Jizo. Yuzao said that Fusangshen will recover soon after staying in the dojo, but so far there is no sign of recovery from the rainy weather.

Qingliu hugs Broken Rain almost every day, hoping wholeheartedly for it to wake up and practice Yujian. Of course, Kazuma can't pull Qingliu out for activities under such circumstances. In fact, if he had to say it, his eagerness to look forward to Qingyu's resurrection was no less than Qingliu's.

"...No, I can't stand it anymore, I have to go out and change my mind."

The obscure pseudonym in the ancient book made Kazuma a little dizzy, shook his head, closed the scroll, got up and walked to the dojo.

When passing by the living room, I happened to see Qingliu wiping the broken Shiqing-->>

Rain, so Kazuma invited Qingliu to go out together, but Qingliu shook her head, expressing her firm determination to stay in the dojo with Duanshi Qingyu. The fact that Charm lost to Yifu Shendao for the first time hit Kazuma hard, and stared hard at Duanshi Qingyu several times.

"...Damn it, I don't envy you anymore."

I don't envy it, but I don't envy it, but Kazuma who stepped out of the door, turned back and brought out Masamune.

**

Famous knives such as Masamune Muramasa are usually regarded as works of art. Besides, Kazuma is still in charge of the Kiryu Dojo, so even if he walks around the street with Masamune, probably no police will come to him However, Kazuma is also the master of the dojo, no matter how envious Qingliu is, he will not act like an upstart.

In fact, Kazuma was driven out of the GTR, and the authentic version was placed in a specially designed dark compartment on the top of the GTR. People who don't know can't see what's going on, but they can be taken out immediately when needed. Coupled with the bugs and trackers previously used on Jiazuo and others, the GTR in Kazuma has become more and more like a Bond car after continuous transformation.

It's a pity that mechanical transformation is not the field that Kazuma is good at, and I feel sorry for bothering the Nanjo family every time, otherwise he would probably want to toss more tricks on the GTR.

"...Well, let's go and see Amao."

Kazuma drove a GTR on the main road in Tokyo, and had nothing else to do anyway, so I decided to go to Amao to have a look.

As the chief disciple who has obtained permission-free transfer, Amao currently rents a cheap apartment not far from Dongda University, and is actively preparing to embark on the path of a law knight.

Not long ago, the first commission Amao received was to file a lawsuit against Hinata Company for kidnapping Nichinan. However, due to the sudden "disappearance" of its president Kosa Masaki recently, Hinata Company is basically closed down. Mao's entrustment of litigation naturally ended in vain.

A few days ago, Nichinan came to the dojo once, and when he learned of this, he was obviously relieved, and then he began to regret that he would not have the opportunity to stay in the dojo again in the future.

That night, she even wanted to get into the bed of Kazuma for a "night attack", but was dragged out by Tamamo. Although Nichinan was crying at the time, she went to work in the company full of energy the next day—it is said that she took over the work left by Mieko Oshiba, so she will probably be very busy for a while in the future, but this may be because of her Way to comfort colleagues.

Kazuma watched Nichinan leave at the dojo that morning, thinking that Tamamo might be right. In a sense, Kiryu Dojo is like a safe haven and a gas station for Nichinan. If you are tired, you can come to the dojo to have a good rest, but she probably didn't really want to join the camp of Kiryu's family—after all, here Either the big demon fox or the swordsman, or the young master of a wealthy family, the difference in status between them is too far.

Besides, Kiryu Dojo will definitely have fierce conflicts with evil organizations in the future, so there is really no need to involve the irrelevant Nichinan. In any case, it is also a gratifying thing for Kazuma that the younger generations of the past can live a stable daily life away from right and wrong.

Of course, it would be a lie to say that Kazuma has no regrets. When aware of this, Kazuma also has to admit that he is probably also a greedy man who eats the bowl and stares at the pot...

"call…"

The joyful feeling brought by the GTR's indulging Mercedes-Benz made Kazuma lose a lot of depression. After turning from the main road to the bypass road, it came to the vicinity of Amao's rented apartment. Kazuma looked around the street looking for a suitable parking spot, but unexpectedly saw an unexpected figure.

"Huh? Chiyoko? And Amao?"

I saw Chiyoko and Amao walking side by side on the street obliquely ahead. The distance between the two is quite subtle, a little close but completely close, a little shy and a little timid, like a famous scene in a youth romance drama, which makes onlookers feel uneasy. Can't help but smile.

Kazuma estimated that Chiyoko should have come to Ahmao while she was not in school. After all, the fact that the first commission failed made Amao a little frustrated. Chiyoko probably wanted to seize the opportunity to add points to herself.

To be honest, this made Kazuma feel uncomfortable, especially after he just gave up the dishes in the pot, so he changed his mind and quietly followed the two of them in a GTR, ready to jump out and bring out the master and brother when he saw the opportunity In other words, if Chiyoko knew that he would have to beat him up if he had such a bad mentality, fortunately, fate did not give him a chance to put on airs.

"Oh, hold hands, hold hands..."

In the driver's seat of the GTR, the man behind the wheel and someone let out an evil croon.

I saw Amao and Chiyoko, who were parallel for a long way ahead, finally holding hands for a while, and then the faces of this young couple turned slightly red like the protagonists in a youth romance drama.

Kazuma cut the sound, but at this moment, Ah Mao suddenly ran to the side as if he had discovered something, and Chiyoko followed in a panic after half a beat later. Kazuma looked out from the GTR and saw Ah Mao squatting down in front of a child on the side of the road.

The child looked about five or six years old, he was wearing casual clothes, his face was quite confused, and there were no adults around. Judging from various clues, there is a high probability that it is a lost kid. Of course, Ah Mao, who is wearing a knight entry, cannot ignore it. Amao squatted in front of the child and asked questions patiently, while Chiyoko stood behind Amao rather depressedly. Such a scene made Kazuma helpless.

With a wry smile, Kazuma wanted to drive away quietly, glanced over the child's head inadvertently, and then slammed on the brakes.

"Entries?"

In the blink of an eye, Kazuma caught a glimpse of the indistinct words above the lost child's head~lightnovelpub.net~ and couldn't help being surprised. At this time, Amao and Chiyoko were also startled by the sound of the brakes, and when they turned their heads to look over, they met the eyes of Kazuma. At this point, Kazuma simply stopped hiding, parked the GTR in an open space on the side of the road, and then got out of the car and walked over to say hello.

"Brother, what are you doing here?" Chiyoko pouted and asked.

"What? Can't I come and see my apprentice?" Kazuma responded with rolling his eyes. "Amao has to concentrate on his studies now. If you want to live a two-person world, at least you have to wait until he graduates...well, of course you have to beat me."

"Brother!" Don't leave any pot unopened, can you lift any pot? Chiyoko stomped her feet angrily, while Amao responded with a slightly wry smile.

"Forget it, what happened? Where did this kid come from?" Kazuma was not joking, but instead asked the child who seemed lost next to him.

"Yes, we saw that the child seemed to be lost, and we came to ask and found out that the situation was a bit strange..." Amao scratched his head in confusion. "How should I put it, he doesn't seem to be conscious yet, and he didn't respond when I asked his name. He just said in a daze that he was looking for a home... Uh, a bit like sleepwalking?"
