Mygo, New Tokyo Black Girl

Takamatsu Deng pointed his finger at a location on the map.

"Let's go rob the Bunkyo Ward Patrol Team," said Takamatsu Deng.

Chapter 29: New Team, New Image

What? I robbed the Bunkyo Ward Patrol? Seriously?

After hearing Takamatsu Deng propose such an outrageous goal, Nagasaki Suyo doubted whether she was sane.

Although as a five-star good citizen of New Tokyo and the "crychic" bass, Nagasaki Suyo and the New Tokyo Patrol have had "friendly exchanges" many times.

During one operation, Nagasaki Suyo even knocked over a police car with a modified pickup truck.

But this is not a reason to go straight to the patrol team's territory and cause trouble!

Even a patrol team in a small district of New Tokyo is not something a fledgling group like them should get involved in.

"Xiao Deng, this goal...isn't it a little too advanced?" Nagasaki Suyo pinched her fingers and felt beads of sweat sliding across her forehead as if they didn't exist.

Nagasaki Suyo saw that Chihaya Aine also turned her head and faced Takamatsu Deng with a surprised expression.

"See, I told you this, this outrageous goal is definitely not acceptable to this pink-haired girl who proposed a conservative plan." Nagasaki Suyo thought.

Then Nagasaki Suyo heard Chihaya Aine express her opinion on this unrealistic goal.

"This, this, this, this... this is so rock and roll!" Nagasaki Suye saw the pink-haired girl looking at Xiao Deng with admiration.

"Super metal, so cool!" Chihaya Aine commented on this whimsical combat goal.

How could Miss Aine's brain have been fried after not seeing her for a few days? Nagasaki Suyo found it difficult to accept that this originally conservative and even timid person had become a supporter of Takamatsu Deng's radical behavior.

There should be some normal people in this team, right?

Nagasaki Suyo turned to look at the remaining two teammates who were listening to the combat objectives.

"There are more interesting women now!" Yao Lenai smiled happily with her eyes narrowed.

Well, this stray cat certainly can't expect to be helped.

"Light...what's this?" Shiina Riki expressed his doubts.

Fortunately, there are still humans with common sense in the team.

"Deng, you finally cheered up again!" Shiina Riki's face was full of joy. This kind of big event that is enough to shock New Tokyo is what she hopes to do together with Takamatsu Deng!

It's over, this world has gone crazy! Nagasaki Suyo realized that this team was doomed.

There must be no normal people left in Hanaoka and Hanasakigawa, Tsukinomori is still the best, Nagasaki Suyo has already started to discriminate against the school in her heart.

"Suyo, thank you." Nagasaki Suyo suddenly heard Takamatsu Deng talking to her.

Thank...me?

"The criteria for evaluating combat targets were taught to me by Su Shi," said Gao Songdeng.

When did I ever teach you to rob the patrol team?

Gao Songdeng began to explain his thoughts to his companions:

"Big companies and banks spend a lot of money every month hiring security teams.

"The patrol team is part of the security team and they don't hire additional security.

"I have checked the situation of the Bunkyo District Patrol Team in the past few days. Due to poor performance, the Bunkyo District Patrol Team branch has had its funding cut, and the enthusiasm of the patrol team members has dropped significantly.

"Plus what we discovered a few days ago about the transaction between the Wenjing District Patrol and the Baishi Gang...

"The Bunkyo Ward Patrol has a large amount of guns and ammunition stored in its warehouse.

"Furthermore, in order to facilitate private sales, these weapons will be classified as scrap within the patrol force.

"As scrapped items, the loss of this batch of weapons will not lead to a large-scale investigation within the patrol team.

"Otherwise, it would be the Taxation Bureau and the Parliamentary Guards who would have to deal with the Bunkyo Patrol."

If that's the case...it seems like it makes sense to use it as a high-quality combat target for gang evaluation?

"Okay, let's do this!" said Nagasaki Suyo, the highway thug from the Moon Forest, the gang's supporter, and the lawless strongman.

"That's great!" Seeing that the whole team reached a consensus, Chihaya Aine clapped her hands happily.

"Then the most important thing next is..." Chihaya Aine began to take the lead in the meeting again.

The other four people turned their gaze to Chihaya Aine to see what she had to say.

"Hehe... Of course it's to redesign the combat uniforms and masks!" Chihaya Aine said proudly.

"Why not just use the old mask?" Shiina Riki felt that this suggestion was unnecessary.

"What? That's not possible!" Chihaya Aine pointed at Riki and said.

"Huh?" Shiina Riki didn't think there was anything wrong with using the old outfit.

"You guys are crychic! It's easy to attract unnecessary attention if you use your old looks." Chihaya Aine explained.

Nagasaki Motoyo thought this was quite reasonable. After all, they were not a complete "crychic" team, so it would be good for them to change into a new image so as not to have to explain themselves to the real leader of "crychic" in the future.

"Xiao Xiang wouldn't want us to use the image from our previous actions without permission, right?" Nagasaki Suyo thought.

"So, to prevent your past hobbies from inadvertently interfering with the new image design...

"I recommend leaving the choice of a new image to fate!" Chihaya Aine said to her teammates.

Then, Chihaya Aine shook her right hand and took out twenty-two cards like a magic trick.

"Hehe, speaking of fate... of course I have to do a tarot reading!" Aine is quite good at this kind of juggling tricks.

Soon Chihaya Aine shuffled the tarot cards so that the cards were face down, forming a spread.

"Deng Deng, you go first!" Aine asked Takamatsu Deng to turn over the Major Arcana card first.

Takamatsu Deng did not hesitate and revealed the card that he felt he should turn over.

"Star"

The Star is one of the twenty-two Major Arcana cards in the Tarot.

The upright position of the star means: a bright future, full of hope, imagination and creativity.

The reversed meaning of Star is: frustration, disappointment, wishful thinking, and confusion.

"It suits you very well, Deng Deng." Aine was very happy about this tarot divination.

Following Takamatsu Touma, Chihaya Aine also followed her own feelings and revealed the card that belonged to her.

"magician"

Magician upright: the beginning of things, changes in actions, skilled techniques and skills, and the implementation of one's own will.

The Magician reversed: weak willpower, difficulty in getting started, going in the wrong direction, and failure due to lack of knowledge.

It really was this card. Chihaya Aine was happy that she had drawn this card.

Aine said to the others proudly, "How about it, my cards are pretty cool, aren't they?"

Although Shiina Riki was somewhat skeptical about the necessity of this inexplicable ritual, since Takamatsu Deng had already started drawing cards, she certainly wouldn't fall behind.

"pope"

The Pope upright: A helping, compassionate, magnanimous, trustworthy person.

The Pope reversed: being deceived, wishes not being fulfilled, being taken advantage of, difficulty in communication.

"What's this?" Shiina Riki had no interest in this kind of charlatan's tricks.

Kaname also stepped forward curiously and drew a Major Arcana card.

Chariot

The Chariot upright: victory, overcoming obstacles, action, egoism.

The Chariot reversed: failure, disputes, obstacles, and violations of rules.

Kaname Lenai was quite satisfied with this card. She examined the surface of the tarot card with her heterochromatic eyes.

The last one was Nagasaki Suyo. She said, "Huh? Looks interesting." and walked forward to flip over a card.

"Hermit"

The Hermit in upright position: hidden facts, individual actions, listening to others' opinions, and enjoying solitude.

Reversed Hermit: Ignoring warnings, inferiority complex, childish thinking, and hatred of loneliness.

Nagasaki Suyo doesn't like this card very much.

Lost Children Gathering: Chapter 30: The Romantic Man

It was another quiet and peaceful night.

Neo-Tokyo Patrol Officer Miss Louise Griffin is dealing with a troublesome guest.

This is a tall and slender young girl wearing a tuxedo, a half-top hat, and a lot of funny oil paint on her face.

The Japanese girl dressed as a magician claimed that she came to report a case.

Louise dared not neglect this young lady. After all, in New Tokyo, reports from people of Japanese descent were, in principle, matters that the patrol team was ordered by their superiors to handle with priority.

As an independent administrative region sold by the federal government to a Japanese consortium, New Tokyo has always placed greater emphasis on supporting immigrants from mainland Japan in various aspects, including culture and economy.

This situation has continued from about thirty years ago to the present day.

Of course, over the years, preferential treatment for Japanese immigrants has shifted to preferential treatment for upper-class Japanese immigrants.

As an American from New Tokyo, it was not easy for Louise to join the New Tokyo patrol team.

Louise didn't want to lose her job because of a complaint from the well-dressed girl in front of her.

After all, Japanese people make up the vast majority of the patrol branch in Bunkyo Ward. With the current funding cuts allocated to the patrol branch, it is basically impossible to lay off Japanese people who have formed groups.

Naturally, if Louise made a mistake at work, she would easily be "optimized" out by the patrol team.

As usual, Louise was assigned to the night shift guarding the Bunkyo branch.

The night shift patrol team is certainly not intended to enable the patrol team to go out on duty at night. It is simply to record the needs of each reporter and consider whether to deal with the case after most of the patrol team members come to work the next day.

So as a night police officer, Louise is more of a night customer service representative than a guard.

Of course, the budget-strapped Bunkyo Ward patrol team will not receive overtime pay.

After all, most of the branch funds were allocated to Japanese police officers to pay them a variety of funds such as "Warm Spring Subsidy" and "Investigation Funds".

However, Louise knew that the so-called "investigation funds" were not used for serious investigations at all.

As far as Louise knew, the vast majority of the police's investigative funds were spent on investigating the personnel composition of Kabukicho.

To be honest, Bunkyo Ward has been relatively safe this year. After "crychic" became famous, big businessmen and bankers spent a lot of money to hire security teams.

As a result, the patrol team in Bunkyo Ward rarely received requests from these upper-class people, and political donations to the Chief Superintendent also decreased a lot.

The main responsibility of the Bunkyo Ward Patrol is to ensure the protection of important places such as wealthy areas and financial institutions.

As for the communities where middle and lower-class people live, the Bunkyo Ward Patrol's responsibility becomes to make those communities feel confident that they are protected.

It's hard to say whether the residents of these less upscale neighborhoods know they are protected, but at least the gang members know that they are protected.

"You mean, you saw someone who looked like a member of Crychic in the opera house?" Louise asked the pink-haired girl in front of her who looked like a magician and a clown.

The other person's strange dress made Louise think that she was probably a young lady who was still studying in an aristocratic school. After all, only such people would have the leisure time to pursue weird fashion trends.

"Yes, I saw on the wanted poster that anyone who provides information leading to this person can receive a reward of one thousand dollars."

　"Well, I'm very sorry, the wanted notice for Crychic was lifted several months ago." Louise said to the girl in front of her.

"Ah? Oh no, I was hoping to share my achievements with my friends." The girl dressed as a magician said somewhat exaggeratedly.

"Is there anything else you need to take care of?" Louise asked politely.

"Miss Officer, are you the only one on duty tonight?" the magician asked.

"Well, that's right." Louise was a little confused about this question.

"Well, isn't that very lonely?" The absurd and funny oil-painted smile on the magician's face moved, as if he was really laughing.

"Can I show you some magic tricks?" asked the strange magic girl.
