Tokyo Wingman King

It was already 8 o'clock when I woke up.

He slept for a full 4 hours. This was the longest time he had slept and the latest time he had woken up since he acquired the [Night Wanderer] trait.

The first thing Asana thought of was the girls sleeping soundly, the geography and seasons formed by their shoulder hills, chest mounds, waist ridges, hip valleys, neck slopes and lip dimples, and their unrepentant behavior. His head began to become congested.

This indicates that the emotions that were drained by the personality possession have returned to normal.

After washing his face with cold water and patting his head, Asana decided to put aside the matter of the apartment being invaded, the girls drinking heavily, and the Konoe twins.

The morning news has ended. Asana took out her cell phone while brushing her teeth, ready to check the situation on the KKIS forum.

It turned out that I couldn't log into the forum.

I tried several times but couldn't access it, except for the school forum and the internal forum of the [KID] fraternity.

Could it be that the equipment that was burned in the KKIS underground data center yesterday also included the school forum server?
It's strange, they have built underground data centers, which means the data must be important, and all important data must have reasonable backups and will not be destroyed so easily. It is said that Google has deployed nearly 20 large data centers in North America alone.

Hmm. The sharp increase in KKIS’ electricity bills since last year may have nothing to do with the teacher who mined and proposed to set up various electromagnetic and thermal laboratories, but rather with the data backup center?
By the way, was the data center's self-destruct program triggered by him, the intruder, or by the person who took away Komaba Doraemon?
Who was that guy? He still remembered that there was a faint smell of myrrh in the air of the laboratory. This scent was relatively neutral and could not distinguish between men and women.

Considering that the other party had used the laboratory in the underground data center and was very familiar with the sewer system in this area, Asama was basically certain that the person that Komaba asked him to meet was indeed an important piece of the puzzle that constituted the KKIS conspiracy.

From this person, to the KKIS IT team, from the IT team, to all the intelligence that was concealed by KKIS.
He can follow the clues and correct all the mistakes of KKIS one by one and settle all the crimes one by one.

"."

After rinsing his mouth, Asama took another handful of water and patted it hard on his face.

There's been no response from Kujo Minari yet, so why am I busy cleaning the toilet for Kujo's family?
Have you forgotten the purpose of coming to KKIS again?

Why don't you solve the current problem but start looking for new troubles?
just
He remembered clearly every word Takishima said yesterday.

No matter how eloquent Takishima is, he cannot morally blackmail a person without a sense of morality. However, Asama has always believed that his moral standards are up to standard - he has an antenna in his body that accepts [justice and goodness], and he has no antibodies to meta-narrative products such as absolute freedom, equality, justice, and virtue. This is also the reason why he yearns for people like Arima Yoshihiko and Fuzuigawa Risa.

He was not interested in how much money KKIS made under the Kujo family's name, but if this money was blood diamonds, if countless misfortunes were brewing behind it, then Asana's silence was tantamount to complicity.

This is not a difficult problem of carrying Mount Tai across the North Sea, but a question of whether to sweep the snow off a stranger's roof and the sense of boundaries and the ability to act.

In other words, KKIS is a moral experiment for himself. Whether his self-proclaimed moral cognition will drive him to take actions that go against his personal wishes and interests.

[Hidden behind the scenes, quietly solving problems, helping those in pain to stand up again, and helping those who are hopeless to return to the right path.]
These things cannot be achieved by playing justice games with minions like Yamagata Ariaki and the Brotherhood. If the sword is not cut on the real problem maker, what is the difference between him and Lu Zhijie, Sun Dasheng and other unfinished revolutionaries who have only power?
No, he is far inferior to these two fictional characters. He was not a rebel from the beginning, but a compromiser, a person who beats his chest and stamps his feet, changes his mind every day, and acts like a clown and makes trouble for no reason.

I just reflected on my mistakes yesterday, and now I have to reflect on them again.
The first level of self-criticism:

The desire to [stay free behind the scenes] is still deeply rooted in Asama's mind.

In the past, I wanted to become a powerful shadow person, but it was just a fantasy created based on my current situation where I couldn't show myself up. This fantasy is just as abstract as [when I go to a social gathering, all the other parties are high-scoring girls who were rejected by an ordinary me].

The reason why he still wants to become a powerful shadow player is because he is afraid of losing his true freedom.

The reason why his behavior and purpose were inconsistent from the beginning, why he set limits on the scope of things he could handle before entering KKIS, and why he stopped doing anything related to Kujo Ietsugu, was because he always had unrealistic fantasies.

He doesn't want to over-demonstrate his strength or become overly dependent on others.

He didn't want to make peace with Gosei, so he went to Kujo Misaki to get authorization and cut the Gordian knot at KKIS.

He didn't want to get involved in the open and secret struggles among the five families and become a handy tool for Konoe to stir up trouble.

He kept thinking that if he made things bigger, regardless of success or failure, he would be watched even more closely by the Five Cameras.

Little did they know that exposure to the air would lead to oxidation. At this point, those old nobles and the people around them no longer had the possibility of treating Asama Shizumi as a transparent person.

The second level of self-criticism:

[Rejection of responsibility by limitation].

Asama, who is fully aware of his own limitations, does not want to spend his time dealing with issues that are not part of the main theme of his life.

He didn't want to get rid of the Five Regents, nor did he want to become one of the Five Regents.

Lifting the table and cleaning the room are two different things, and Asana has no confidence in cleaning the house.

When you see a cockroach, there is actually a nest of cockroaches. The problem makers have already cultivated a larger group of problem makers.

The surnames of emperors in the Wei, Jin, Song, Qi, Liang and Chen dynasties changed several times, but the real ruling group of the state power did not change much; Zhu Yuanzhang killed hundreds of thousands of corrupt officials, but corrupt officials still popped up like mushrooms after a rain; the Western Sunshine Act was a "transparency show", just like the American party mouthpiece media promoting the country's new policies dedicated to the welfare of the people, we can only listen.

As the ancient philosophers said, you cannot stop others from doing evil. Human nature cannot be castrated by emperors, authority, laws, or grand narratives.

Holding a hammer will make you want to hammer nails, holding a sharp blade will make you want to kill. The extreme corruption caused by power has become a common hereditary problem of mankind. Human nature, which has been provoked to inflate by power, will want to stick a stick into any hole it sees, and cannot withstand any test.

Even if he used all the power granted by the Great Ming God, the system, and the dream personality, he could not become the solver of the problem.

More importantly, not everyone who understands management wants to PUA a group of slaves; not everyone who possesses violence wants to establish a military government; not everyone who studies political science wants to become a head of state to realize his ambitions.

There are plenty of soldiers in this world who don't want to be generals.

He had no confidence in becoming the kind of general who, with a surface temperature of 6000°C, said, "Water must be drinkable water, and rice must be edible rice."

There is no confidence intellectually, morally, or desire-wise.

Ultimately, he didn't want to be responsible for too many people.

On the front line of this global geopolitical game, reckless subversive actions will only cause greater chaos.

The third level of self-criticism:

I haven't thought about it yet.
There is currently no solution to the above two mistakes. Fantasy and escape are stress responses to being trapped in reality, but facing reality is not the solution to the problem.

The paradox of freedom and limitation created a storm of anxious reflection that blew through Asana's mind.

Maybe this storm will last a lifetime.

So, what to do next?
As he said to Arima and Fuzugawa, should we mobilize all the resources that can be mobilized and unite all the forces that can be united?
Do you want to devote your life to a grand narrative of your own creation and gain a new identity and group identity?
he does not know.

But at least, under the guidance of the moral values ​​that are a combination of rationalism, empiricism, intuitionism, utilitarianism, deontology, and historicism, as well as the traditional Chinese moral spectrum, he can assure himself that he will implement limited but practical justice.

Asama turned his attention to the news portal.

I searched Yahoo, Rakuten, Livedoor, NHK, Asahi, and East News, but I didn't find any news about the KKIS's loud noise last night or the police raiding the sex shop. There was some discussion on social media about the huge roar of Tatsumi last night, but it was obviously limited. There were only a few comments to refute the rumor, saying that the abnormal loud noise was caused by the port company's mistaken operation of unloading at night.

Songzhi posted a notice of suspension of classes in the school teacher group at 7 a.m. and informed each class teacher to notify each individual in the class.

Asama sent the notice signed by the vice-principal, the student union president, and the Academic Affairs Office to the class group, and Kohinata Sakura quickly sent a private message to Asama.

"Hinata Sakura: Mr. Kondo, there is no class today. Can you spare some time to come to my house for a home visit?"

After looking through the chat history, I found that this was the third time that Hinata had sent a home visit invitation.

If he refuses again, he will be disqualified as a class teacher. Besides, Kohinata is Kujo Alice's intelligence agent in KKIS. As an open-minded person in KKIS, he may be able to get some useful information from her.

"Kondo Shinichiro: I'm only free in the morning. Are Hinata-san's parents home today?"

"Hinata Sakura: They're not here. The things that need to be discussed with Kondo-sensei have nothing to do with them. I'm at home waiting for the teacher to arrive."

Kohinata had given Asama his home address once, and this time he sent him his location.

Qianjian thought about it and replied,
"Kondo Shinichiro: Hinata-kun, since your parents aren't home, let's talk outside, maybe at a coffee shop near your house."

"Hinata Sakura: Okay, I'll be waiting for the teacher at the coffee shop."

The address of the coffee shop was sent by Hinata again.

Just by looking at the chat records, you can imagine Hinata's inorganic face.

Parents don't need to worry about knowing. What is Kujo Alice's mission?
Not long after, Sakai also sent a text message.
"Linana~: Kondo, there is no class today, can you come out for a while?"

"Kondo Shinichiro: What's the matter?"

"Linana~: Am I not a librarian now? If someone asks me to recommend a book and I don't know any, wouldn't that be embarrassing? Come over and give me some advice on which books to buy. Don't buy books that are difficult to understand."

Asama immediately sent two pictures and a document to Sakai.

“Kondo Shinichiro: This is a list of must-read extracurricular books for high school students, as well as a list of selected books on Goodreads. The document contains corresponding introductions, selected reviews, and excerpts. You can pick some books from it and buy them directly on Amazon.”

"Linana~: I want to buy the physical product directly and see it today. Come out quickly. How about I treat you to lunch?" Asana didn't want someone who usually ate salt rice balls at noon to treat him to a meal.

five minutes later.

"Linana~: Kondo, why didn't you reply after reading it??? You are a disqualified teacher!"

After Asama checked out, Fangmen Fujion called again.

"Teacher Kondo, I sent you a text message but you didn't reply, so I called you. I read some of Scott's "The Cocoon" you recommended last night. I have some questions about the conclusion that the country is built on grain. There is no class today. Is it convenient for you to meet with me and discuss these issues in person?"

"I don't have time. Please sort out the questions and send them to me. I will take a look when I have time."

“But I have already sent you the question.”

"It's good to be sent out, that's it for now."

She didn't even ask him why he rejected her brother. Fangmen Fujion is indeed a shrewd girl.

In the bathroom of Shiba Park, Asama switched to the costume of a disqualified teacher and took the Asakusa Line subway towards Tokyo Skytree.

Unlike many families who send their children to KKIS several districts away, Kohinata's home is in Kinshicho, Koto Ward, less than 1 kilometer away from the Tokyo Skytree.

If Kohinata was really asking questions on behalf of Kujo Alice, it cannot be ruled out that Kujo Minari told his information to her own daughter.

He had to go to Yinghe in the afternoon. In addition to fulfilling his promise to spend half a day in Yinghe every week as a consultant of the Love Consultation Department, he also had a few things to check with Komaba -

The first thing is the cat search commission, as well as the information about the KKIS data center and the mysterious person;
The second thing is a targeted investigation. He got a form from the library yesterday. He wants to know the information about those people who frequently go in and out of the library but don't borrow books, and to help investigate whether [KID] Moji Kyutoku is involved in the obscene business of the custom shop;
The third thing is to help Takishima communicate about the matters that this group of people can cooperate on regarding the human body trading incident.

As for the information about the three little ones, the problems on the KKIS forum, and the hype about the four paid course places, Asana decided to handle it himself.

Coming out of Oshiage Station, with his back to the Tokyo Skytree, and running about 800 meters in the alley, Asana arrived at the place where he was going to meet Kohinata.

A small cafe called Haru (Spring).

Standing at the door of the store, the girl wearing a gray Morandi casual outfit noticed Asana's arrival, and turned her face 30 degrees very accurately to look at Asana.

"Shall we talk in the store or outside?"

Asama asked.

“Inside the store.”

Kohinata led Asama into the shop.

The space inside the store is occupied by burlap bags of coffee beans and a huge commercial coffee roaster, with silver pipes extending straight to the ceiling.

The only place to sit is a wooden wall table connected to the front desk. In front of the table are 8 seats that don't look very comfortable, and 4 of them are already occupied.

Apart from the two pots of flowers at the door, the concrete industrial style of the decoration has nothing to do with spring. If it weren't for the 10-centimeter light-collecting gap running across the wall in front of the seats, the customers here would be no different from the wall-facing inmates in prison.

Kohinata picked two seats in the middle of the table and took Asana to sit down.

"Hinata-chan is here."

The boss obviously knew Hinata, and Hinata just nodded, her expression always maintaining the state of "I will always be a stranger".

"Ethiopian medium roast beans, signature latte. What would you like to drink, Mr. Kondo?"

After saying this, Kohinata looked at Asama again.

"Any recommendations?"

“Medium roast Ethiopian beans, signature latte.”

".good."

Asama was sharp-eyed and noticed that there was a type of bean from Yunnan on the coffee bean introduction board in front of the boss.

It was not common to see beans from China in Tokyo cafes, so he ordered another cup of coffee.

Seeing Asama pay directly, Kohinata's eyebrows moved closer to the center of his eyebrows by 0.5 mm, but then he seemed to feel something was wrong and quickly relaxed his brows again.

"Mr. Kondo, I should be the one to treat you this time."

“Because I’m a teacher.”

The coffee shop owner poured the ground coffee into the filter paper on the top of the coffee pot and interrupted with a smile.

"So you are Hinata-chan's teacher. Let me treat you to this cup of Yunnan Americano."

A young man who had been chatting with his friend about the temperature curve of hand-brewed coffee, stole a glance at the porcelain doll-like face of Hinata, and teased the boss,
“Why not three?”

"Because favors are favors, and making money is making money."

"Then why don't you give me my drink for free?"

"There is no humanity between us."

Everyone laughed in a humane way.

Only Asama and Kohinata's expressions did not change. Some people speculated that the girls' expression control was taught by this teacher.

While waiting for coffee, the silence between Hinata and Asana made the entire cafe quiet.

It seemed as if they were all waiting to listen to the conversation between the two.

But the inorganic matter teacher-student group did not get what they wanted.

It wasn't until three cups of coffee were ready that Hinata spoke.
"What do you think, Mr. Kondo?"

Asama tasted both cups. He held the cup of iced latte, gave the boss a thumbs up and said,
"Your recommendation was right, it tastes great and the money was well spent."

The free Yunnan dark roast American coffee tasted terrible.

The bitterness was a bit too much, and Asama even felt the smoky taste of whiskey entering his throat for a moment.

Hinata used a straw to stir the bone china cup filled with ice cubes seventeen times at a constant speed, making a regular sound of ice cubes colliding. She suddenly said,

"When Mr. Kondo came, the whole school changed."

From what Hinata said, it seemed that she was ready to blame him for everything that happened in KKIS this week.

"Before you deny it, I want to confirm whether you are worried about this matter?"

Hinata shook her head slowly and looked at Asama.
"Mr. Kondo, I told you that I support you."

"Before you judge whether you support it in action or just in words, I want to say that you should support [the school changes] as a thing, not a person, so that whether I deny it or not, whether I do it or not, it will not affect your support."

"But supporting a person is also equivalent to supporting the corresponding cause."

"How are you going to support it? What if it conflicts with the opinion of your boss?"

"Is Kondo-sensei her enemy?"

"I am not familiar with her and I don't know what she is going to do in KKIS, so the possibility of conflict cannot be ruled out."

"From Kondo's perspective, things may conflict with each other, but people will never conflict with each other."

"Using what you just said, a conflict over one thing is equivalent to a conflict with a person."

"Can you tell me what Mr. Kondo is going to do?"

In this place which is not suitable for chatting, Asama becomes the target of Kohinata's intelligence gathering.

“Give a good lesson to those who need one.”

Xiao Hinata's eyes lit up and he nodded.

"I understand."

I haven't done anything yet, what have you understood? (End of this chapter)
