A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 41 This is no longer just ordinary people.
Dadadada~~
Night had already fallen when the island nation's Metropolitan Police Department's helicopter finally arrived.

"Don't these supernatural beings ever sleep?"

Inside the cabin,
With dark circles under her eyes, Miyako Kana immediately complained.

The 'Oshima family' she was in charge of was already troublesome enough: after confirming that Oshima Taku's ability would not erupt during natural sleep, Miya Kana, as the person in charge, could finally take a break.

However, before she could even get a few dozen minutes of sleep, news of the attack on the Chaoxia base woke her up again.

There are actually two Asaka military bases.

One is the headquarters of the island nation's Army Self-Defense Force, and the other is the headquarters of the American Army stationed on the island.

The two military bases are located next to each other, naturally for ease of management: that's right, the island nation's army self-defense force is under the full command of the United States—to put it bluntly, it is a satellite army.

Under such circumstances, their combat effectiveness is self-evident.

America understands that the island nation's self-defense forces are only good for disaster relief and suppressing yakuza groups.

Sending them to the battlefield: the entire army gets sick, and if you ask further, they all resign en masse. There's absolutely no intention to move these guys up.

Similarly, the Metropolitan Police Department did the same: this is why America only notified its 'allies' to come after the battle was over and the battlefield had been cleaned up.

In America's eyes, this so-called 'ally' is utterly useless and can only run errands.

Of course, this is also thanks to America.

The former five-star emperor implemented a top-down 'reform,' or rather 'training,' shattering the backbone of the island nation.

"Say less, Hana."

Director Fujita, sitting upright in the cabin with his hands resting on his knees, spoke calmly.

"I'll give you a month's leave after the supernatural events have subsided."

"Director, it's just the two of us here."

The kimono-clad beauty was also quite forward.

"Do you think that, given the current situation, the paranormal events will ever subside?"

It's only been a few days?

All sorts of demons and monsters keep popping up. According to the famous 'cockroach theory,' there are countless supernatural beings lurking in the shadows!

In this situation, those in the know understand that the future will become increasingly dangerous, so they stay far away.

For example, those bastards in the cabinet, I wish I could resign on the spot!

So, the vacation the director mentioned—

"Don't bother making empty promises to me anymore; who knows how much longer we have to live?"

Don't be too pessimistic.

Director Fujita pushed up his glasses as he looked at Miyako Hana, who had a helpless expression on her face.

"Their existence proves that there is also a 'Yellow Springs' in the world."

"My heart is like a mirror, my actions like a blade; even if I fall into the Yellow Springs, I will have no regrets in my life."

Director, you may not be afraid of death, but I am!
Miya Hana burst into tears,

She still has a long life ahead of her, and she doesn't want to step into the underworld without any regrets.

"Lieutenant General Thomas,"

Once the helicopter had landed, Director Fujita, along with Hana Mitani, went straight to the base's ground command center: with the enemy gone, these above-ground buildings had regained their functionality.

"Has a new enemy emerged in this supernatural disaster?"

"That's right, come and see this—"

Lieutenant General Thomas stood at attention in front of the command post, his hands behind his back; on the screen in front of him, footage of the recent battle was playing.

Many scenes have been restored using AI, making it easier for ordinary people to see what happened.
As for the original video? Most of it is just a blurry mess!
Even America wouldn't install ballistic cameras on its own bases—it would be a complete waste.

Of course, that was in the past.

The high-speed camera industry is about to enter its 'golden age'.

Because the speed of supernatural beings almost always exceeds the limits of ordinary people, 'ballistic cameras' capable of capturing high-speed moving targets will become a popular tool.

"This is?"

Walk to the front of the command platform,

Upon seeing the image on the screen, Director Fujita narrowed his eyes.

So strong!

The image depicts a classic Japanese 'Oni-masked samurai'.

His speed was like that of a ghost, and he could even walk on air; his samurai sword could cut through gold and jade, and slice through iron like mud—the entire American military base was completely helpless against him! Those high-tech weapons and armored vehicles were all easily cut into scrap metal by him.

If an island nation has such a strongman,

It could absolutely create a 'supernatural deterrent,' and its international standing would skyrocket!
As the Director General of the Metropolitan Police Department of the island nation, this was the first thing that came to Director General Fujita's mind when cabinet ministers were collectively "claiming illness".

As for America's losses?
What does it have to do with island nations!
"Dear Fujita, do you know anything about this supernatural being?"

"No,"

Director Fujita answered without hesitation.
"Before coming here, I didn't even know that a second supernatural being had attacked your place tonight."

As for that 'ninja', Director Fujita knew about him.

"is it?"

Lieutenant General Thomas turned his head and gave a meaningful look to Director Fujita and Miya Kana.

In this command center, numerous cameras are pointed at the two individuals: their every word, action, and even a blink or a muscle contraction is being repeatedly observed and analyzed by a large number of American psychology experts.

"Ninja, samurai,"

"These are all traditional 'professions' in your island nation."

The commander of the American Seventh Fleet spoke in a somber tone and at a slow pace, yet with an inexplicable sense of pressure.

"The repeated attacks on our bases inevitably raise unpleasant suspicions."

Respect the emperor and resist the barbarians!

During the Edo period in the island nation, the shogunate system was in serious crisis, and the country also faced the threat of foreign warships and cannons.

The lower-ranking samurai, eager for power, combined the ideas of "revere the emperor" (尊皇) and "expel foreigners" (放夷), forming the "revere the emperor and expel foreigners" (尊皇放夷) faction.

Thanks to the efforts of these samurai, the island nation's royal family briefly regained power after a thousand years.

These lower-ranking samurai also rose to become the new 'Hōjū' (a class of warriors).

The army headquarters of the island nation and America are located next to each other. As a result, America was attacked both times.
If you don't suspect the other party of having 'special tendencies,' then everyone in America is a fool.

Even within America itself, "redneck factions" have pointed out:
Perhaps the island nation's government was behind the attack!
"Mr. Thomas, please believe me—"

Director Fujita spoke sincerely.
"I have no intentions that would be detrimental to your interests."

If he truly possessed powerful figures like the 'samurai' or 'ninja' depicted in the scene, he would have already ordered the assassination of this guy in front of him!
What's the point of raiding Asaka Base? If only we could take out the Seventh Fleet.
"Our collaboration has always been seamless, hasn't it?"

"ha,"

After listening to what Director Fujita said,

After a long pause, the American commander suddenly smiled.

"Don't misunderstand, dear Fujita."

He patted the other man on the shoulder and made a bold, feigned assurance:
"The alliance between the US and the island is unbreakable. Let us join hands to welcome the arrival of the 'new era'!"

She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"It scared me to death,"

The helicopter returned to the Metropolitan Police Department.
The rising sun shone on Miya Hana's pale face.

"I thought a bunch of American soldiers would rush in and shoot us dead on the spot."

"Who do you think I am?"

Director Fujita was speechless.

He is, after all, the one who maintains order in the island nation.
If he dies—unless the prime minister steps forward, other regions, such as Osaka, could immediately raise an army to 'save the country'.

The island nation's population is mainly concentrated in three major metropolitan areas, each with its own 'culture' and 'politics': Osaka represents the Kansai region, and Tokyo represents the Kanto region. These are rivals that are openly and covertly competing from head to toe, from military to culture.

"Besides, this matter has nothing to do with us in the first place!"

"Director,"

The secretary's anxious voice came through the earpiece, interrupting Director Fujita's words.

"More than a thousand people have gathered at Hibiya Park. These people have prepared a large number of signs and promotional banners, and it seems they want to—"

procession!

?

Hibiya Park
Located south of the Imperial Palace, this park is the island nation's first 'Western-style modern park'; it features various facilities such as Western-style flower gardens, an outdoor concert hall, a library and cultural center, and tennis courts, making it a recreational paradise for Tokyo residents.

Such places with huge crowds are naturally good locations for demonstrations and protests.

"the truth!"

We demand the truth!

In the park where dawn had just broken,

There was already a man with a white cloth wrapped around his head, holding a megaphone and speaking passionately.

"Yesterday, just yesterday!"

"I believe everyone already knows this!"

"A large number of monsters appeared in Nakano Ward, causing huge casualties, with countless people dying on the spot!"

"Among them are our neighbors, friends, and relatives—the citizens. This time it broke out in Nakano Ward, but what about next time? Will it be Toshima Ward, Adachi Ward, Itabashi Ward, or Edogawa Ward?"

Holding a megaphone and wearing a sign that read "The People Need the Truth" slung across his chest, the man continued to shout:

"And what about the government—"

What is the government hiding?

"What was once just a battle between supernatural students has now escalated into a supernatural disaster erupting in the city center!"

"Wake up! Our lives are in danger!"

Hearing the man's words, more and more people stopped to watch, including many office workers.

Yes, if Nakano Ward can experience a 'supernatural disaster' without warning, why can't other places do the same?

During this time, the island nation's cabinet did nothing and offered no explanation, as if the storm that was about to erupt on the internet did not exist at all.

He's dead.

Why bother going to work?

"Stand up, brothers and sisters!"

The man clenched his fist and waved it, his inflammatory words echoing through the park.

"Only by getting the government to take our opinions seriously can we protect ourselves, our lives, and our families!!"

Tap tap tap,

By the time Chief Inspector Fujita hurriedly returned to Metropolitan Police Department headquarters, the situation had already developed into:

"A large-scale march involving more than 5,000 people?"

"Yes, Director."

The secretary bowed in response, while simultaneously gesturing to the large screen in the command center.

The above is a video taken by a drone: a huge crowd of people blocked the square in front of the Prime Minister's official residence, and more people kept coming from all directions.

At the very front of the crowd, a man with the words "Truth" written in blood on his forehead held a megaphone and shouted towards the Prime Minister's residence:

"Prime Minister!"

"You're not at the Prime Minister's official residence at all! Where have you been hiding?!"

? ?
His face darkened.
Having just been tested by the Americans, Director Fujita, in a very bad mood, slammed his fist on the command platform.

"What happened yesterday has already led to a protest?"

That's impossible to achieve!

“These are no longer ordinary people,”

It's obvious that other countries are involved behind these protests.

Of course, most of them are ordinary people from island nations who have been swept up in this trend, but what does it matter? The most important thing now is:

"Notify the First Division to disperse the demonstrators!"

the truth?

Even he, the director, wanted to know!
