I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 373 No If
Shinichiro Sasahara was stunned at first, then turned his head and his eyes fell on the artillery position consisting of more than a dozen self-propelled artillery parked in the viewing parking lot, and the soldiers loading and unloading shells outside the artillery position.

He doesn't want to kill all those soldiers, does he?!

Are you a demon hunter or a murderer?
"Stop him now!"

When Shinichiro Sasahara thought of this, he was stunned and shouted out subconsciously, but as soon as the words came out, he felt a strange power.

It was an indescribable feeling, as if there was no danger, invisible and intangible, just like a spring breeze blowing across one's face - the problem was that at the same time, one's soul was given a dreamlike feeling of falling.

Of course, it was only a moment, and in the blink of an eye everything seemed to be back to normal.

Is it an illusion?
Shinichiro Sasahara frowned and checked his body, finding that he was not hurt.

"Section Chief!"

The voice of Takigawa Tadahiro came from beside him. When he looked up, he saw that the Self-Defense Force officers and soldiers, including General Nangong Riku, had all collapsed to the ground as if they had lost consciousness.

The Special Countermeasures Mobile Unit's mobile team members and staff were not affected, but the tourists who were settled in the camp became a little agitated and asked the staff what happened to the soldiers and officers.

Is it a spell that causes people to fall asleep?
Shinichiro Sasahara guessed in his heart and felt relieved. Most young people are hot-tempered and hate evil. He was really afraid that this kid would get angry and kill all the Self-Defense Forces present.

Takigawa Tadahiro glanced at the section chief's expression, walked over to Higashino Yu, pulled him aside and whispered, "Higashino-kun, what are you doing? You're doing it before you even finish talking. It's not like we can't discuss it."

"The island nation's government is now nothing more than a makeshift team of feudal remnants. They are irresponsible and have no sense of responsibility. Not to mention that many of them are anthropomorphic creatures, starting from their own ancestors. I will not put my life in their hands."

Higashino Yutaka has not concealed his distrust of the island nation's government.

This is indeed the case. To put it nicely, the government officials on the island country are descendants of the nobility. To put it bluntly, they are just a group of feudal remnants, each one more anthropomorphic than the other, and are incompetent at nothing except making money.

It is possible that when you are fighting the demons on the top of the mountain, artillery shells and cruise missiles will come right at you.

Although his current cultivation and combat power are considered good, he does not have that many magic spells to avoid danger and seek good fortune, and he has not yet developed the iron body to control the laws of nature - to reach this level, what is needed is not understanding but patience, and the practitioner must nourish the body with spiritual power every day.

If there are spiritual medicines rich in the spiritual essence of gold and wood, this process can be accelerated. However, these spiritual objects can be used to strengthen the body even without practicing the law of heaven and earth, so they rarely appear on the market, at least in the mortal world, it is rare to see them once in decades.

If hit head-on by an artillery shell or cruise missile, one would either die instantly on the spot or at least be seriously injured and on the verge of death.

"That's true, but these are all members of the Joint Operations Command. How can there be a lieutenant general lying around?"

Takigawa Tadahiro was in a bit of a headache. Other ministries and departments had already had opinions and were wary of the Ministry of Religion, Education, and Science. After all, knights broke the law with force, not to mention exorcists who could use magic and summon monsters. As ordinary people, politicians' attitude was basically to exclude, be wary of, and exploit.

This is also why the Ministry of Religion, Literature, and Science is always short of funds.

Mr. Dongye feels relieved and happy now, but what should he do if General Lu asks about it later?
After all, he is a general-level figure, and I don’t have the nerve to talk about this matter.

In fact, not to mention myself, even if the section chief came forward, it would not work. At least he had to be at the level of an advisor.

"It's okay. I just let them get some sleep. They might have a nightmare or something. If General Lu wants to hold someone responsible afterwards, you can ask him to come to me directly."

Higashino Yu stroked the hilt of Chengming Ichimonji Nagamitsu's sword with a casual tone.

As he said this, he looked at Sasahara Shinichiro.

"I'm going to get rid of the demons. If any troops arrive later, you have to make sure they don't launch indiscriminate attacks on the top of the mountain." Dong Yeyu paused and said seriously, "Let me make it clear. If a shell hits us during the battle, I'll leave immediately and you can deal with the demons on yourselves."

It’s not that I’m arrogant. With the Samadhi True Fire protecting me, why would I be afraid of evil spirits?
There's no need for any fancy words, just go up and set fire, and the evil spirits will immediately behave themselves.

Shinichiro Sasahara shook his head after hearing this. This was too arrogant.

He didn't know Dong Yeyu's background, but he had an idea of ​​what he was thinking just by looking at the boy's age of sixteen or seventeen.

As the saying goes, a man without hair on his lips cannot do anything reliable, not to mention that cultivation requires years of practice. How good can one be at the age of sixteen or seventeen, even if one starts practicing from the womb?

So far, none of the demon hunters who came here were as arrogant as him. All of them were on high alert, bringing their own Shikigami and fighting side by side with other demon hunters.

So many demon hunters are unable to kill the demon, and how dare you, alone, say such outrageous things?

I admit that your magic has some value, but that's all. If you are so arrogant, you will suffer in the end.

However, Shinichiro Sasahara also went through this age, and he knew that the boys at this age were more stubborn and more unbelieving than each other - he was similar back then, with God being the boss and him being the second.

Therefore, he did not say anything to dissuade her, but only pondered for a moment and asked, "What if you cannot defeat the demon?"

It seems that we need to give him some confidence. Higashino Yu turned his head and met Sasahara Shinichiro's eyes, and crushed him with all his magical power.

At that moment, Sasahara Shinichiro froze in place, not daring to move. The scene in front of his eyes blurred in an instant, and he could not see anything clearly. He only felt as if he was facing a towering mountain, or standing on an endless seashore with undercurrents surging.

I don't even dare to think of resisting. It is a feeling of powerlessness that arises when the insignificance encounters the greatness, and it is the despair that comes from the heart.

"No ifs."

Higashino Yu said seriously, and Sasahara Shinichiro felt that the sound seemed to come from outside the sky. The pressure disappeared instantly, as if the heavy pressure from the bottom of the sea was suddenly lifted to the sky, forcing him to breathe violently subconsciously.

"you--"

After regaining consciousness, Sasahara Shinichiro was about to say something, but he saw that Higashino Yu was already running alone along the mountain road towards the top of the mountain. He was like a gust of wind and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Shinichiro Sasahara stood here silently and looked in that direction for a long time, with a complicated expression, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Until the sound of another armored vehicle's throttle sounded at the foot of the mountain, Takigawa Tadahiro reminded: "Section Chief, there is more support coming, what should we do?"

Sasahara Shinichiro finally woke up from his dream and thought for a moment, "I will hand over the command to you. Go and negotiate with the commander of the Self-Defense Forces who came to support us and see if there are any extra people to send those tourists down the mountain."

"Ah I?!"

Takigawa Tadahiro looked stunned, feeling a little uneasy yet excited. After being a slave for his entire life, he was finally going to turn things around?
Thinking that this might be his only chance of promotion in his lifetime, he asked seriously, "What should I do? Give up the preparation plan?"

Sasahara Shinichiro shook his head: "No, continue to deploy the self-propelled artillery positions. As for the attack, wait for my signal. The red flare means attack, the yellow flare means pending, and the green flare means the demon has been eliminated."

After giving the instructions, Shinichiro Sasahara took the signal gun and drove to the top of the mountain.
