Tokyo Wingman King

September 9th, 15:7 p.m.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Subway Asakusa Line heading for Oshiage was crowded.

Asama held the ring with one hand, like a sausage in the wind, swaying naturally with the subway along with other soulless sausages. Every occasional shock would make them twist their waists together, as if the knot in the middle of the sausage was touched by the strong wind.

The army of office workers on the subway was the best camouflage for Asama's tracking operation. These ordinary consumables of society who were harmed by performance-based management were on the means of production conveyor belt of the black-hearted factories in Tokyo's underground, just like Xiahou Dun of Cao Wei looking at King Louis XVI of France across time and space - there was no end in sight. They exuded negative energy, so ordinary people would naturally not be interested in looking at them, so no one would notice Asama.

At this time, there was a carriage and four rows of sausages between Asama Shizue and Ryuzoji Chanba.

The girl also pulled the ring and lowered her head to read a book, with two large suitcases stuck in the corner. Unlike the swaying sausage, she was like an elegant chrysanthemum blooming in the wind - most likely pyrethrum that can drive away flying insects - she naturally cleared a square foot of space around her, and the seat in front of her was empty for a long time, and even the drunk who got on the bus one stop ahead did not have the courage to sit on it.

Toyo Eiwa's [Forbidden Touch Flower] is as famous as it is said to be, and he can activate the [Expel Idlers] spell just by putting on a straight face.

In the shallow room on the right side of the carriage, you can see the cover of the book in the girl’s hand - "Metaphors We Live By".

I have introduced her to several books related to philosophy, linguistics, and hermeneutics before. I didn't expect that she would take the initiative to read rhetoric (rhetoric often overlaps with these subjects). She is worthy of being the woman who can rank 6th in her grade in English.

Asama has a natural liking for people who love to study and read social science books. Logically, these people shouldn't particularly dislike him (Literary Lovers Favorability +20), such as Fuzugawa who reads all kinds of books, Nijo who reads financial literature, Futami who reads Shakespeare and Maugham, Jiandao who reads online romances, and even those who participate in messy fan clubs are mostly related to Eiwa's various literary clubs. I can only guess that Ryuzoji Tanba's initial favorability value for him is too low.
Huh? Why are you thinking about this? Do you really think that everyone loves you? Asana took off the intelligence-reducing obsidian item that he had put on in mid-air.

Asama had been following Ryuzoji for more than an hour since he walked out of the KKIS school gate. He had great respect for this girl who ranked 60 places higher than him in the Eiwazuki test. She had made five transfers to stations with long transfer distances, and had simply used the evening rush hour crowds and her unusual familiarity with the major subway stations to get rid of all the idiots who had followed her all the way from KKIS.

He can do this even while dragging two large boxes. Ryuzoji Chanba's anti-tracking skills seem like he has been specially trained.

There were still two followers in Ryuzoji's carriage, but from what Asana had seen, these two looked more like bodyguards protecting Ryuzoji.

Is this the reason why Ryuzoji is not afraid of [FAB] and disdains the reminder from his homeroom teacher?
That's right, among the eight families of Inji, only the Ryuzoji family can really catch the eye of Konoe Chiyo. The arrogance of the dwarf just became a ruler to measure the surface strength.

This is also the reason why the Ryuzoji family was able to get along well with both the Konoe and Kujo families.

So the question is - since Ryuzoji Chanba has a bodyguard, why should I meddle in his business?

Because from their reactions, it seemed that Ryuzoji did not know these two bodyguards.

Asana can tell the difference between the look in a stranger's eyes and the look in an acquaintance's eyes. Asana is also confident that he can tell the difference between the look in a fly's eyes and the look in a beast's eyes.

Now that you're out, let's send you off to the west.

The subway arrived at Nihonbashi Station. Ryuzoji Chanba put away his book and got off the train with the crowd. Asama was also pushed out of the car by the people behind him and followed Ryuzoji and her two bodyguards from a distance.

The sky outside has turned completely dark. The Chinese characters on the signs with East Asian characteristics have given the buildings a light edge. Neon lights are flowing on the streets of the bustling city. People who are walking quickly while looking down at their mobile phone screens have also become moving spots of light.

The dress style in Nihonbashi is much more serious and dull than in other areas. It is easy to find Ryuzoji Chanba among a group of gray-haired financial elites.

Ryuzoji Temple made a feint at the transfer area of ​​the Tozai Line, then walked out of the subway entrance, headed north, passed the Nihonbashi Bridge, which was covered by the high-speed ring line, passed the bronze statue of a winged unicorn that combined the East and West, and headed to the north bank.

A little further ahead is Mitsukoshimae Station. If Asama guessed correctly, Ryuzoji Chanba was preparing to take the Hanzomon Line home - the Ryuzoji residence is located in Banmachi near Hanzomon Station, west of the Imperial Palace.

It seems that after hiding from the paparazzi for more than an hour, the squad leader is also tired.

Hey, did I just scold myself?
Just as Asama was about to go visit Hanzomon, a tall boy in a kimono suddenly stopped Ryuzoji Chanba.

The squad leader reluctantly handed the two suitcases in his hands to the kimono man whom Asama also knew - Ryuzoji Keisuke, Ryuzoji Chan'e's brother and the next head of the Ryuzoji family.

Ryuzoji Qizhe was not surprised that his sister was wearing the KKIS school uniform, and he also knew that Kujo Alice had asked Ryuzoji Chanyu for a favor.

I didn't expect that the next generation of the Ryuzoji family would have such interaction with the heir of the Kujo family.

Speaking of which, the Ryuzoji family doesn't seem to be interested in Konoe Chiyo. Ryuzoji Qizhe did make two appointments with Asama, but unfortunately Asama was in Europe once and China once, so he was unable to keep both appointments.

It seems that the two bodyguards were originally Ryuzoji Keisuke's men. The number of bodyguards around the siblings has increased to 6, but they are not yet able to discover Asana.

Ryuzoji Qizhe, who was carrying two large boxes, walked down the stairs in his wooden clogs as if it were flat ground, and from time to time he spoke a few words to Ryuzoji Chanyu who had a stern face beside him.

The conversation between the brother and sister was heard clearly by Asama, who had "extremely good hearing".

"Have you decided not to go to Kujo Shinkyo?"

"No, the school's dormitory hasn't been arranged yet. Why are you here?"

"Are you in trouble?"

Ryuzoji Qizhe did not answer his sister's question, but Ryuzoji Chanyu seemed to already know the answer.

"No, you don't have to worry about that."

"Okay. Why did you bring the box back? Can't Kujo Jingjing keep it for you?"

"If you don't want to mention it, give it back to me."

"Mention it! I mentioned it well, didn't I?"

Seeing that Ryuzoji Tanba spoke so harshly to her own brother, Asana felt a little relieved.

Asana, who was still standing at the subway entrance pretending to look at his phone, watched the brother and sister disappear around the corner. He sighed, tightened his mask again, and stopped investigating the chat content of the Ryuzoji brother and sister.

Weird woman, wasting my time.

Asana bought a can of Fanta at a nearby convenience store and drank the soda while observing the people passing by.

Someone used a big black umbrella as a walking stick, tapping the already dry ground. The changing weather made his umbrella redundant. People walking together were either complaining about overtime or discussing where to go for a cheaper meal. Although the employment and living environment had gotten worse, this group of people were not less happy at all. At the intersection, a couple held up a camera and openly kissed on the street, which was out of place in the financial street of Nihonbashi.

He took out his cell phone again and browsed the KKIS forum.

The most popular post on the forum is "How to win the 5000 million from [La's]? Popular knowledge of gambling." There are not many problems with the post, which is an analysis of famous gambling games in film, television and literary works. The replies are outrageously varied.

Due to the large number of anonymous and pseudonymous posts by Komaba, more and more anonymous replies appeared in the forum posts.

"24th floor (anonymous): Kondo doesn't have much money. He is trying to get something for nothing. Even if you win, the most you can get is a class qualification worth 5000 million yen. (laugh.jpg)"

Most of the replies in the gambling post are in this thread, with at least 200 levels of discussion.

The mainstream view is not to admit that Kondo Shinichiro has no money, but to prove how cruel and bad Kondo Shinichiro is. He broke his leg to get rid of suspicion, and sent all the boys to the hospital on his first day as a class teacher. The two class gambling games with obvious intentions of alienating the class (the money-sharing problem for Class 8 and the obedience test for Class 10) show that Kondo Shinichiro is definitely not a good person.

Some people also believe that Kondo Shinichiro is even more terrifying than Mie Aki, who distributed the divine punishment experience tickets. Maybe Mie Aki is also Kondo Shinichiro's Pavlov experiment - creating fear through unknown punishment, so that everyone forms a conditioned reflex that they will be punished if they bully Mie Aki. This speculation even involves the two failed invasions of Russia by Napoleon and Hitler, which cast a psychological shadow of Russophobia on all Europeans.

Since no evidence was provided, the conjecture that [Shinichiro Kondo is the only real culprit in the recent KKIS incident] was scoffed at by most people.

Although most of the students in KKIS are uneducated, the dual effects of good family conditions and the inward-looking campus environment have produced many good brains.

Asana saved this post and planned to use his own skills to open a box for these anonymous people in the next two days.

Now that you have adjusted your mindset, let’s go back to KKIS.

The distance is about 7 kilometers, so it’s not a bad idea to ride a bike back. After all, being surrounded by a group of old men with body odor is not a good experience.

He was just about to check for nearby car rental places when Komaba called.

We found a secluded spot in a narrow alley between two bank buildings and made a phone call.

There was a noisy background sound and faint singing.

It's Jiandao's voice. Yes, Fuzugawa and Jiandao have a performance today.

It seems that Komaba is also at the [ALL RISE] Livehouse in Minato Midtown.

It’s about 7 kilometers from here. Do you want to watch their performance quietly later?

"O-Sensei, hello? Can you hear me? O-Sensei? Help! My cat is gone!"

"Can you please stop being so startled?"

"Of course we need to implant emotions into the protagonist when issuing missions, otherwise what's the difference between them and the NPCs in the game? No, in the future, NPCs implanted with AI may be more emotional than real people."

"Have you been playing too many games lately and lost the cats that Dahui gave you?"

Asana remembered that at the end of July, Daiki was going to give him a few cats, but he declined on the grounds that he was allergic to cats.

"The kitten that Daiki gave me is from Yinglihua, who is raising her. I am the same as Daisensei, I am allergic to all cats except cat lovers."

Qianjian pinched his eyebrows in annoyance and said,
".So you're talking about the robot cat that was used to interact with Saneaki, Yue Hanchuan and the others?"

"Bingo~ That's the one I was talking about. Weren't we going to fight against Mieaki today? There was an inexplicable malfunction and he was taken away. We can't rule out the possibility that he was attacked by the Brotherhood. Fortunately, the positioning signal is still in KKIS. Can you help me check it out when you have time? Hmm? Why are you in Nihonbashi?"

"I'm going to come out and get some air."

"To see the trust manager, huh?"

"Stop imagining things. If the cat is gone, why not just make another one? Can't the information in the cat be uploaded to the cloud? Didn't you set a self-destruct program?"

"Aren't you curious, Master? The man who took my cat away might be the breaking point of the Brotherhood! Please, go and have a look. If he wants to take my cat away, his expression must be very interesting. You will love to see it."

"Just listen to your live show, I'm hanging up."

Having said this, Asama still checked the location given by Komaba.

Komaba called just now, and Asama thought that this guy would ask him about the handshake and peace between him and Yamagata Ariaki. The KKIS forum had added a lot of new posts about "[KID] and Kondo Shinichiro reached a secret deal" today. Komaba had been spreading rumors and stirring up confrontation in the forum recently, so he must have known about it.

Help Juchang recover his faulty cat, and ask him to help check today's director units and directors.

Leaning against the rough wall of the Art Deco-style bank building, after replying to Pochi, Futami, and one of their messages, he took a screenshot of the picture posted on X, congratulated Fuzugawa and Majima on their performances in the group, and Asama once again retreated into the shadows of Tokyo.

He put on the props, adjusted the properties, turned on invisibility, activated [Personality Possession - Maodun's Pretend to the North], and rushed all the way. Soon he reached the nearly 3-meter-high wall in the southwest corner of KKIS.

It took less than 5 minutes for Asana to tuck his messy hair back into his hood and check his phone.

This speed has exceeded the limit of human beings. It is slightly faster than Captain America and about the same as Black Panther, but it is too ordinary compared to the Flash and Quicksilver.

Not wanting to go through the main gate, Asana held his breath again, took two steps on the wall, then did a cartwheel and easily jumped over the security net on the high wall and landed on the school lawn.

Unexpectedly, an alarm sounded in my ears.

Continuing to hold his breath, he found a camouflaged device in the corner.

Asama's invisibility cannot avoid alarms based on microwave, infrared, laser and other principles. It would be great if all surveillance systems in the world were based on Tesla's pure visual solution.

The on-campus police and security guards came in groups with high-lumen flashlights. Asana stood beside them and listened to their analysis. Although he could not avoid being detected by the alarm, it did not mean that his invisibility would block the light. Even if the flashlight shone on him, it would still normally project a circular spot of light onto the wall.

A cat's cry interrupted the group's concerns.

“It’s a cat.”

"Don't sirens rarely give false alarms?"

"Few false positives doesn't mean no false positives. Let's go. The game just now hasn't even finished and I'm about to win."

There is no useful news.

It is possible to rely on stealth to collect intelligence in KKIS the entire time, but the price is that you have to wear the system props for a long time.

I just don’t know how many microwave alarms like the one camouflaged in the corner are there in the entire KKIS.

Komaba has updated the positioning position.

Asana followed the location and arrived at the indoor gymnasium of KKIS.

To be more specific, it was at the entrance of the women's locker room in the gymnasium.

There was no light in the locker room and no sound.

Is it the wrong positioning? (End of this chapter)
