A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 24 The Movements of All Parties

University of Tokyo Hospital

"Incredible, incredible"

"What terrifying regenerative power! Don't these cells have the 'Hayflick limit'?"

Professor Ohsumi, with a thick white beard resembling a lion's mane, was muttering to himself in a trance-like manner in front of a large number of cutting-edge medical instruments.

"If we can thoroughly study the characteristics of these cells, it will lead to a leap forward in human medical advancements, and may even enable us to achieve—"

Prolong your life.

The island nation's alarming aging population is thanks to its excellent healthcare: an average life expectancy of 84 years, which is unparalleled globally.

The reason why they attach so much importance to 'medical care' is naturally because the island nation's elites are particularly afraid of death.

This 'Professor Ohsumi' is an expert in molecular and cell biology.

Nobel Prize laureate in Medicine!

"Ahem, Professor."

In the laboratory, Miyako Kana, dressed in a kimono, coughed.

"The most important thing now is to treat Miss Ishikawa Yamoto as soon as possible."

"Any medical student would be enough for that kind of thing!"

Professor Osumi, who was conducting an experiment, waved his hand.

"Furthermore, even without treatment, she will heal herself within half a month: it's practically a cellular miracle!"

Miya Hana was speechless in the face of this old professor who was so passionately devoted to his research.

However, she was, after all, an elite member of the Metropolitan Police Department.
I also understand why the professor was so agitated.

"Powerful recovery ability,"

Looking at the girl on the other side of the laboratory glass, the woman in the kimono sighed.

"A blessing or a curse?"

Having supernatural powers means you are no longer an ordinary person.

If she cooperates with the experiment, the government is naturally willing to provide her with all the necessary assistance; but if she takes a hostile stance, then it will be a fight to the death.

"Ms. Yamoto,"

Pushing open the door to the girl's room, Miyako Kana smiled and stepped forward.

"The examination is complete, and the doctors will soon prescribe a treatment plan for you."

"Chief Inspector Mitani,"

The aloof, short-haired girl rubbed her stomach.

"We're hungry."

?

"Okay, what would you like to eat?"

The girl tilted her head and thought about the question for a moment.

"Omelette rice, first come on—"

One hundred copies.

Bunkyo District,
"Oh, Mr. Ishikawa, you're back from grocery shopping?"

"Yes, I need to open a shop to support my family."

Mr. Ishikawa, an elderly man with silver hair, answered with a smile, opened the trunk of his minivan, and unloaded baskets of ingredients.

"Wow, you're really strong! You're still going strong for your age."

Passersby marveled at the sight; the ingredients packed in these plastic baskets were quite heavy, each weighing several tens of kilograms.

But in the hands of this 'Old Mr. Ishikawa,' it was as easy as if it were an empty box.

"Hahaha,"

"I'm only 72 years old this year."

"Mr. Ishikawa" replied with a smile.

"I'm still waiting to attend my granddaughter's wedding."

“You are this!”

Passersby gave a thumbs up, showing even greater admiration for the new neighbors.

Although island nations are now heavily promoting the "silver economy" and encouraging the elderly to work until they die, it is rare to see such a healthy and robust old gentleman.

Moreover, he also has to take care of his good-for-nothing son, take care of his granddaughter's schooling, and earn money to support the family. How can he not be respected?
"grandfather,"

A little girl ran out of the house.

"let me help you."

As he spoke, he picked up a bag that was bigger than himself;
They were huffing and puffing as they carried the load home, which looked both adorable and heartbreaking.

In reality:

"Bonfire, slow down, slow down."

Mr. Ishikawa repeatedly called out to the child: "Running too fast will arouse suspicion."

That's right, the old man is Yoshifumi Nitta, and the little girl is Hina Nitta: After moving here, Yoshifumi Nitta opened a 'family izakaya' in the courtyard.

It wasn't for making money: Yoshifumi Nitta, an undercover yakuza agent, had already secretly prepared a 'retirement fund' for himself; the reason he opened the shop was to cover up their enormous appetites!

Since awakening their powers, their appetite has skyrocketed at an alarming rate.

"Have you bought the groceries?"

The silver-haired old woman pushed open the door.
"I'll cook dinner. What would you like to eat tonight?"

This old lady is none other than Shiko, the former bar owner, who now plays the role of a family of three with Yoshifumi Nitta and Hina.

wrong,

They are the 'Kamaitachi siblings',
They are family members who have been through countless reincarnations and will never be separated.

"Let's eat, let's eat~~"

The little girl cheered on the spot.

"The school's nutritious meals aren't even enough to fill me up, I have to fight for food!"

?

"You steal other people's food at school, don't you?"

The old woman, Shiko, sighed and facepalmed. Yoshifumi had chosen a nearby private aristocratic school, which was full of children of the powerful and wealthy.

"It's alright, Grandma."

Chu waved his hand.
"I've beaten them all into submission, now I'm the king of the kids!"

Heh heh heh, fists and kicks for elementary school, kicks and punches for middle school.

Ah, this—

Shizi was speechless.

Fortunately, Hina's ability is 'healing', so as long as she doesn't use it on her own, she won't be discovered.

In terms of physical constitution, they are only slightly better than ordinary children.

Probably, probably, no.
Is this an exposure?
"Don't worry, the campfire is under control."

Yoshifumi Nitta, dressed as a silver-haired old man, patted the hair of his granddaughter, who was called "Little Campfire."

"Let's go inside." To outsiders, this is a typical family with elderly, weak, sick, and disabled members.

However, the reality is:

"1, 2, 1, 2!"

"More than half of the hundred have already been completed. You can do it."

The living room of the house, with the curtains drawn, is filled with exercise equipment!

The 'old woman' and 'little girl' who had just finished eating were lifting heavy dumbbells weighing dozens of kilograms, bending over and doing flyes.

whoosh whoosh whoosh

They even left afterimages as they swung the dumbbells; it was truly terrifying.

"Sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime."

An elderly man standing nearby, holding a dumbbell weighing over 100 kilograms and doing squats, encouraged the two of them as he exercised.

They had once directly confronted the American army, and if their identities were exposed, they would surely face a thunderous attack—this was an immediate concern. The noble person who had 'awakened' their power had once said that when the time came, they would contribute their strength to 'that person'—this was a long-term concern.

Under such circumstances, how could the three of them dare to relax?
He dedicates several hours every day to intense workouts and weightlifting: the tools he uses are so powerful that even the strongest men in the "Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin" would take notice.

In the room, an old man, an old woman, and a little girl were swinging huge, heavy dumbbells.

It's like a scene from an anime, both absurd and incredibly impactful!

This is supernatural power!

“When we use ‘sorcery’, we expend physical energy.”

"Only with a strong body can one calmly face all dangers. Campfire, Tomiko, do your best!!"

For Yoshifumi Nitta, these exercises were just routine. But the 'old woman' and the 'little girl' had already put on 'masks of pain,' and fortunately, they knew what was important and persevered with their physical training.

Just as Yoshifumi Nitta said, their 'sorcery' consumes physical strength.

If you don't want to be out of breath after just a few moves, you can't neglect your regular training.

However, not all 'supernatural beings' require physical training.

In the Machii residence in Setagaya Ward, the middle-aged 'Heisei Sword Saint' is carefully wiping his long sword.

As the island nation's top swordsmanship master, he was naturally not short of money, and his home contained a large number of famous swords, weapons, and even kunai and shuriken.

This is also why he can so easily play the role of a 'ninja'. These are things that even his disciples don't know, let alone outsiders: no matter how capable the Metropolitan Police Department is, what can they possibly find out? Furthermore—

"Even college students have gained supernatural powers?"

The man kneeling in the dojo, wiping his long sword, had his gaze fixed on the cell phone in front of him.

He is indeed a 'Sword Saint', but he is also a modern person. Naturally, he uses these high-tech gadgets, surfs the internet, and even argues with people.

"Not bad in strength and speed, but lacking in combat experience."

Horrible!

If we were to face these two college students,

Machii Isao was confident that he could kill them with his sword within ten moves!

Of course, it would be extremely unethical for a swordsman who has practiced swordsmanship for decades to bully a college student who has just gained supernatural powers.

"I really want to fight them!"

Excitement gleamed in the middle-aged man's eyes. Was he being branded a bully?

It's alright.

He only wants to fight against experts!

Clang,

The renowned swordsman sheathed his blade, and the sharp glint in his eyes faded.

"not the right time yet."

Let's go find those modern soldiers and have a go at them first.
It's decided, tonight's target is: American soldiers!

In another courtyard in Setagaya Ward.

"Dad, can I skip the party tonight?"

The young man in the floral shirt angrily combed his hair with his fingers.

"I've arranged to go racing with someone."

"Speeding?!"

The middle-aged and elderly people in the living room put down their newspapers, looked up, and glared angrily.

"Didn't you learn your lesson from last time when you sped and killed someone?"

"That's because there was an unlucky guy who happened to be there."

Passing by,

Then they used that unlucky guy to take the blame.
The so-called 'lesson' is forgotten by the young people even the next day.

"Shut up!"

The middle-aged and elderly man was furious because his wife had passed away early and he was busy with work, and as a result, his son was not studying hard and went racing with a group of spoiled brats every day.

"Don't you see the guys you associate with?"

The earnest advice of middle-aged and elderly people

“They are all the second or third sons in their families, the kind of good-for-nothings who will live off ‘funds’ and wait to die.”

"But you're different; you'll inherit our family's legacy—"

"What's so difficult about it? Isn't that all done by the secretary?"

? !
Upon hearing their son's answer, the middle-aged and elderly man felt a wave of dizziness.

"you you"

"How can you guarantee your secretary's loyalty, huh?!"

After all, he's their own son, and even when they're angry, the middle-aged and elderly still patiently educate him.

"Don't treat others like idiots, and don't believe anyone's promises—look at the Kojima family, the old man died young, and the son is pampered by his secretary and manager, eating, drinking, and having fun every day."

As a result, over the years, the assets were 'legally and reasonably' transferred to the manager's name; using the name of the Kojima family, the secretary and the powerful built their own network of relationships—and finally shrugged, indicating that the men of the Kojima family were hopeless and that their decline had nothing to do with them.

If a rich second-generation heir doesn't even have the ability to "maintain what's there," they'll be drained dry by those around them.

If you can be the master, who would want to be the dog?

"Do you understand? Give me more time to networking and management!"

After scolding his son, the middle-aged and elderly man waved his hand dismissively.

"Go, change your clothes."

"To avoid such an outcome, you need to cultivate good relationships; in times of crisis, long-standing family connections can lend you a hand."

"But the dinner tonight is hosted by America—"

boom!
An ashtray flew by.

It landed next to the young man in the floral shirt who was still trying to say something.

"idiot!"

Amidst the flying debris, middle-aged and elderly people stood up and angrily cursed:

"America is our biggest backer!"
