chapter 45
Episode 45
Tokyo, Japan.
Three men and women appeared on the roof of a scorched building.
Jeong-Min and Leah, who got information from Sakamoto and flew by teleportation. And it was Yamazaki.
Yamazaki said admiringly as he looked at the view of the city from the rooftop.
“To be able to arrive so quickly… I think teleportation is a really great skill!”
Leah conveyed Yamazaki’s admiring words to Jeong-min.
Jeongmin took out a mana potion from his inventory and said to Yamazaki while drinking it.
“It’s a good skill, but it has a lot of flaws. Although it is said that it is moved to a place that is in sight, it is impossible to move to a place that is vaguely visible because it is too far to be possible only to the location that can be confirmed accurately. In a space where an exact point cannot be specified, such as empty space, movement is considerably restricted. Since it is a method of moving based on the sight, it is difficult to move at all if there is an obstacle in front of the eyes. It’s a skill with many downsides.”
Leah listened to Jung-min and passed it on to Yamazaki.
Yamazaki once again spoke to Leah with a small admiration.
“Still, there is no doubt that it is a great skill. Anyway, we’ve arrived. What you see over there is Tokyo Tower.”
Yamazaki introduced us by pointing here and there.
Jung-min and Leah noticed more gates coiled around the middle of the city than the places Yamazaki pointed out.
‘There are so many gates left. If it wasn’t for finding Liddell, I’d like to destroy them all.’
Jung-min scanned the gates of the city with his eyes looking at the delicious food.
As if reading Jung-min’s thoughts, Leah spoke softly.
“Once we find Liddell, we’ll attack those gates. It is too much of a waste to leave it like this.”
Jungmin nodded his head after hearing Leah’s words.
Leah spoke to Yamazaki, who was explaining things here and there.
“So, where is the base of the organization called ‘Kuroi Tsubasa’?”
“Ah, I was just introducing this place too much. The base of ‘Kurai Tsubasa’ is the middle school near the Tokyo Tower you can see over there. I built it and made it like a shelter.”
“Is it just a remodeled school? I guess it’s not that big?”
At Leia’s question, Yamazaki shook her head and said.
“It’s not even that small. This is because not only the middle school, but also the site of the high school next to it and the nearby park are all used. Home to Japan’s largest Awoken organization, it can’t be that small. However, since all of the main facilities are on the side of the middle school building, there is a high probability that Liddell is also there.”
“okay. Then let’s go right away. How should I go in, Mr. Jung-min?”
Leah explained to Jung-min the location of the base she had heard from Yamazaki.
“To say that it was made by remodeling a middle school, it is similar to [Daesung]’s Shelter. Too much fuss to get through the front door, right? Then the best way would be to enter through the roof. After going up to the roof of the tallest building around the base, I will move to the middle school rooftop while looking at it. Then it seems to be easy to get in. I wouldn’t have paid much attention to the boundaries of the rooftop.”
Listening to Jung-min’s words, Leah said worriedly.
“It’s nice to be able to get in easily, but this place and [Daesung’s] shelter are also problems. If a high-level gate comes out in the future, there will be monsters flying into the air, but I’m not prepared for that at all. It would be good if Jung-min talked about it and thoroughly prepared for the air.”
At Leah’s words, Jungmin nodded and said.
“Yes, I will do that. I should warn the other side, not just [Daesung].”
After the conversation, the two of them and Yamazaki moved in the direction of the school where ‘Tsubasa Kurai’ is based.
When the school building came into view, they moved to the rooftop in search of a tall building in the vicinity.
The roof of the middle school came into Jung-min’s field of vision.
“Still, this place is pretty thorough. I think there are guards on the rooftop as well. It seems that the purpose is to look down from a high place rather than being wary of the air.”
As Jung-min said, there were two people on the roof of the middle school looking around.
Looking at them, Jungmin said.
“Then shall we go? Um… I think you’d better wait here, Mr. Yamazaki. What do you think?”
“I think so. Mr. Yamazaki, please wait for us here. I will find Liddell and bring him out.”
At Leah’s words, Yamazaki shouted in a high-pitched voice.
“Please take me with you! I finally met Liddell…!”
“I was shot that many times in ‘Shadow of Wings’ earlier. This place could be more dangerous than there. People say that guns can’t work with Jung-Min, but that’s not true of Mr. Yamazaki. A blind arrow kills a man. please wait here We will definitely bring Liddell back.”
Yamazaki lowered his head, unable to refute Leah’s words.
Yamazaki, who bit his lip and stared at the ground for a while, raised his head again and spoke to Leah.
“.. sorry. I acted too immature. If I were there, there would be a lot of restrictions on the actions of the two of you. I know. I’ll be waiting for you here So.. so, by all means.”
“Yes, I will bring Liddell. Don’t worry, I’m waiting.”
Leah, who was reading Yamazaki, looked back at Jung-min and said.
“Mr. Jungmin. let’s go”
Jung-min came up to Leah and held her hand.
And after looking at the roof of the middle school, I used space movement.
The two disappeared in an instant and appeared on the roof of the middle school ahead.
As soon as Jeongmin and Leah got down on the roof, they spread out on both sides and rushed at the people who were standing guard.
The two people who were on the lookout did not react and lay down on the cold floor in a stunned state.
Jeong-min gathered the fallen guards in one place and said to Leah.
“But how do I find someone named Liddell?”
“Let’s wake one of these up and ask.”
“I don’t understand the language, is it okay?”
“Ah, I see. I hadn’t even thought about that. I’ll have to use my mind link. There’s only one seat left anyway…”
Leah muttered something softly, and a white light rose from Leia’s head and connected to one of the fallen guards.
Jung-min took out a bottle of potion and poured it into the guard’s mouth.
After a while, the guard woke up with a choking cough.
After seeing Leah and Jung-min standing in front of the guard, the guard was startled and tried to attack again, but was lightly grabbed by the neck and overpowered.
Jung-min said to Leah while holding the guard by the neck.
“Miss Leah, please interrogate me. I’m speechless anyway…”
“Yes, please let go of this man’s neck for now. Let me talk.”
Jung-min let go of the guard’s neck.
The guard caressed his neck and looked at Leah and Jeongmin alternately with frightened eyes.
“hello. We are the people who came here to find someone. I’ll only find those who are quietly looking for them and let them go, so please don’t make a fuss and cooperate. You know?”
The guard nodded at Leah, who spoke kindly.
“Now, then, before we talk, let’s start by talking about our voices, shall we? My name is Leah. What’s your name?”
“Oh, you can call me Onishi.”
“Yes, Onishi-san. Nice to meet you. If you cooperate well with my questions, there will never be any harm done to Onishi-san’s safety. You know? So please be sure to take care of me?”
“Yes, yes, no, ask me anything.”
Leah nodded and smiled as if she liked Onishi’s attitude.
“Now, let me ask you a question. Liddell… no, is there a black-winged, white-eyed man you call ‘God’s messenger’?”
Onishi’s eyes widened at Leah’s question.
Then he started shouting at Leah furiously.
“Poetry, why are you looking for a messenger from God! He, he is the only one who can lead us on the right path in this world that has turned wild. Even if the purpose is to harm him in some way, give up!”
Onishi’s words were no longer connected by Leia’s hand, which suddenly closed her mouth.
Leah covered Onishi’s mouth and said while gently holding Onishi’s hand with the other hand.
“I told you that if you cooperate well, there will be no threat to your safety. Why are you refusing to cooperate in the first place?”
wood deuk
A creepy sound flowed from Onishi’s hand held by Leah.
Onishi’s face turned red and he twisted his whole body and tried to scream, but he couldn’t get out of Leah’s grip, which was covering his mouth, and he just struggled, swallowing only suppressed moans.
Leah, who pressed Onishi’s hand for a moment, looked at Jung-min standing next to her in surprise.
“I am, Jeongmin. This is… just a way to quickly gather information. You know?”
“Of course I know. Miss Leah. Go ahead and do what you were doing.”
Jeong-min spoke calmly, but Leah could see the fear hidden deep in his eyes.
‘Mr. Leah, I’m scared.’
Reading the faint fear in Jung-min’s eyes, Leah looked back at Onishi with a teary face.
“.. If I had told you to just say it quickly, this wouldn’t have happened!”
Wooded
An even more unpleasant sound rang out from his hands, and Onishi, who struggled through tears, eventually closed his eyes and passed out.
Only then did Leah let go of Onishi’s hand, who had passed out.
Onishi’s hand was so strangely twisted that it was hard to see.
Jung-min gently sprayed the potion on Onishi’s hand.
The twisted bones and flesh returned to their original places, and Jung-min once again admired the power of the potion as he looked at his hand that had been healed.
Seeing Leah’s uneasiness, Jung-min shook Onishi awake.
Onishi, who came to his senses, was bewildered as he looked at his well-made hands, while looking at Lea looking at him, his body was trembling with a pale face.
Looking at Onishi, Leah took a deep breath and spoke again in a kind voice.
“Come on, Onishi-san. I hope there will never be an unfortunate accident like before. If you do that one more time, I won’t ask Mr. Onishi anymore. You can wake up the other person lying down over there. You know what I mean?”
Watching Leia speak kindly, Onishi nodded violently with a terrified face.
“Okay, then I’ll ask you again. ‘Messenger of God’ you say. Is he here?”
Hearing Leah’s question, Onishi stammered in a small voice.
“Yes Yes. It is here. I understand that you returned together when you returned from missionary work two days ago. And tomorrow, we are scheduled to leave for missionary work in another area.”
Seeing Onishi talking about things he didn’t even ask, Leah smiled with satisfaction.
“okay. If I was late, it would have been difficult. So next question. Where can I meet him?”
At Leah’s question, Onishi shook his head and said.
“He, he always puts himself in the ‘praying cage’ and prays for the happiness and order of the world. That’s why ‘laymen’ like us can’t meet casually. The only thing I’ve seen him so far is to see him moving for missionary work from afar.
Only one person can meet him. Only Shiroyuki-sama, who is the first wing of ‘Kuro no Tsubasa’, can meet and communicate with the ‘Messenger of God’.”
“No, so where can I meet you?”
“Mo, I don’t know. Only Shiroyuki-sama knows where the ‘praying little cage’ is located.”
“Um… then where is the person named Shiroyuki?”
At Leah’s question, Onishi pointed to the ground with his finger.
“Down here… The top floor of the building right under the roof is Shiroyuki-sama’s office. You will probably be there.”
“Aha, that’s close. Thank you for the good information”
After Leah finished talking, Onishi fainted again.
As I muttered something softly, the connection between Leah and Onishi slowly disappeared.
“I disconnected my mind. It’s nice to be on the roof. Directly downstairs is the office of someone who has information about Liddell. I think it will be easy to meet without making a fuss. If I had known we would be able to meet right away like this, I could have brought Mr. Yamazaki with me.”
Jeongmin also nodded and agreed with Leah.
“Even so, there may be unforeseen dangers. Then shall we go right away?”
Jeongmin and Leah went downstairs to find a passageway.
The guards who saw the two descending from the stairs leading to the roof came shouting something.
“To meet the guards as soon as you come down, it seems that the guards on the top floor are quite thorough. Let’s deal with it quickly and quietly and go.”
Hearing Leah’s words, Jung-min nodded and ran towards the approaching group of guards at high speed.
