Whose personality mask's power comes from the heroic spirit?

"The mental data shows that it is normal. Oh, the adrenaline has increased." Aix is closely monitoring Taiyi's body.]

Probably because of Mordred, now X can communicate with Taichi through telepathy even without using a mobile phone.

"X, let's transform!" Taiyi took out his cell phone and was about to transform.

[“Wait wait wait! There are no monsters in the surveillance range! Why are you transforming?” Axe asked in a panic.]

"I am too narrow-minded." Taiyi waved his fist in regret. "I just thought that the Warriors of Light should not steal or rob ordinary people's personal property, and it is not good to add a few digits to their accounts and mess up the market economy. But I forgot that there are still a lot of unowned property in this world!"

[“Oh! Boy, are you going to make money?” Mordred was delighted. “I told you, that power will definitely bring you value, right?”

"Ownerless property? Taiyi, tell me in detail so I can hear if it's possible." As long as it doesn't violate his moral bottom line, Axel doesn't mind helping Taiyi make money.

After all, this child has a miserable life.]

"The bottom of the sea!" Taiyi shouted excitedly, "The treasures from those sunken ships in the deep sea are now ownerless!"

Let’s not even mention the pirates that roamed the seas during the Middle Ages.

Take for example the ships that were sunk in modern times.

You never know where the treasure of some country is.

[“…That’s true!” Axe was also a little surprised. “I had forgotten for a moment that this was a way to make money… But here comes the problem. Even if we salvage the treasure, how do we cash it in? What’s the channel?”

"There are treasures on the seabed? Damn, why weren't there any in my time?" Mordred, who lived in the early AD, was upset.]

Taiyi gradually calmed down.

Indeed, where does the channel to cash in the treasure come from?

“I can only find a rich businessman to sell it at a low price.” Taiyi said that it was a business with no investment anyway, so he might as well sell it at a low price. If he didn’t feel bad... that would be strange!

Uno capitalist!

I thought of the Yukinoshita sisters I met in the hall yesterday, and then passed by them in an instant.

The Yukinoshita family's roots are in Chiba, which recently became a restricted area due to radiation.

It seems that the Yukinoshita family started out in the construction industry, so the losses must be huge, and they may have to sell off their businesses to make up for the losses.

It seems that I can’t eat this piece of underwater treasure.

"Aix, please help me connect to the Internet. I'll go online and check which capital consortiums have the most assets."

Taiyi has no money to pay for the Internet, so he can only rely on Aix's help to surf the Internet.

Even Mordred felt sad when he saw this pitiful appearance.

As for why I could still communicate with Mordred after leaving the palace...

Taiyi said he didn't want to go into it in detail because it was terrifying to think about it.

He already has a bunch of monsters scheduled to fight on his side, as well as a false god to fight, and Taichi feels that his schedule is busy enough as it is, and he doesn't want to get involved with Type-Moon series enemies.

I just hope that the Ultra Warriors here are not a TV drama and there is no final boss to fight.

Otherwise he might not be able to make it.

By the way, why do I only get idealistic powers like Ultraman and Personality Mask?

Taiyi, who considered himself a materialist, was deeply dissatisfied.

[“I found several financial groups with strong capital, but their credibility varies.” Aix said, and sent the information he had collected to Taiyi.]

Shinomiya Group...huh?

Shijo Foundation...oh...

Suzuki Zaibatsu...hiss——

……

Looking at the long list, beads of sweat began to appear on Taiyi's forehead.

Finally, he turned his phone upside down on the table with a speechless look on his face and started massaging his temples.

[“Is there anything wrong with this list?” Axe asked doubtfully.]

"It's not a question of whether there is a problem or not." Taichi sighed, "I saw a lot of names of consortiums that only appear in 'scripts'. The most outrageous thing is that even the Suzuki Zaibatsu is included..."

"Aix, please help me search the names 'Mouri Kogoro' and 'Kudo Shinichi' on the Internet."

[“I found out that they are the famous detectives who have suddenly become famous in recent years. However, they haven’t appeared on the Internet or in newspapers for a while. What happened to them?” Axe asked with a puzzled look.]

"This is the most outrageous thing!" Taichi ruffled his hair. "The world of the famous detective should be in a state of timeline collapse, why is it so smooth, without a single skip?"

[“I don’t quite understand what you mean.” Axe said sympathetically.]

Aix said he understood the feeling of loneliness that only he knew the secret in the world, and no one else could understand it even if he told it to others.

"In the world of the famous detective, the timeline is extremely chaotic. More than 20 years can be thought of as just over half a year. And often winter comes after spring, so the four seasons can squeeze into a month and cycle several times."

[“Did I hear wrongly or are you crazy? Even goblins wouldn’t dare to play like this!” Mordred couldn’t help but complain.

"...No, it's really possible." Axe said in a strange tone, "In fact, when I was exploring the past records, I found that there was indeed a problem with the time sequence before Taiyi and I came to this world, but I couldn't detect the specific problem. But after Taiyi reminded me, it seems that the timeline is disordered."

"I was also affected." Axe said solemnly.]

"...Forget it, I have given up the idea of delving into this world." Taiyi shook his head and said, "After all, the facts will not disappear no matter how much you think about them. If you can't resist it, then just enjoy it quietly."

"However, this way, I also have someone to trade underwater treasures with." Taiyi said with a smile.

The Suzuki Group is quite wealthy. If they find some extremely famous treasure on the bottom of the sea, they might be able to sell it to Suzuki Jikichiro at a premium.

"I don't care about this crappy job anymore, so I might as well skip work." Taiyi changed out of his work clothes, then carefully checked the surroundings. After making sure that he would not be discovered, he pressed the dial button on his phone to transform.

From today on, I am the underwater treasure explorer, Naruto Ex Taichi.

Chapter 18 Who doesn’t want to be a big landlord in their daily life?

"This is really an eye-opener." In the first minute after transforming into X, Taichi searched Tokyo Bay thoroughly.

No treasure was found, but there were indeed a lot of sealed barrels filled with cement.

Sinking into Tokyo Bay is finally no longer just a meme.

There is nothing valuable in the coastal area, so the next step is to expand the scope of activities outward. Anyway, we just need to get back to the shore within three minutes.

"To be honest, the efficiency of pouring cement into Tokyo Bay is really poor." Mordred complained, "Can't they be more efficient?"

"We can't help it. We live in a society ruled by law now." Taiyi curled his lips in his mind, then turned his head to look at Mordred, who was transformed from a tarot card into a thought body, standing beside him. "If we can't find the body, we can't file a case. If there is no case, naturally no one will look for them. Although it's a bit troublesome, it can solve the worries."

"When it comes to studying methods to harm their own compatriots, humans on Earth are the best." Even Aix couldn't help but sigh.

"Okay, our goal is to find the treasure sleeping on the bottom of the sea, but we don't have time to talk about the dead." Taiyi moved forward at full speed.

Axelrod's maximum speed in the water is Mach 1.8, which can only be said to be no different from his speed walking on the ground.

"By the way, Mordred, since you can reveal your physical form under the mask here, can you control X's body?" Taiyi suddenly looked at Mordred and asked.

"Are you an idiot?" Mordred rolled his eyes. "I am just your personality mask now. Although I seem to be able to think independently, I am just your subconscious. What I say and do now is basically the reaction you think I will have."

"Do you think just a subconscious mind can control this huge body?"

Oh, it seems not.

"Then what did you mean by asking me to give up my body in the hall before?" Taiyi continued to ask.

Anyway, X is watching over the exploration of the outer sea area, so there's nothing wrong with him distracting himself inside and communicating with Mordred for a while.

"Runaway? Darkening? Using violence out of anger? I am just using these thoughts to force your body to use my power." Mordred stamped his feet in annoyance. "But this big guy thinks my thinking is too biased and doesn't want me to stir up your inner resentment."

"It's obvious that you and I are one!"

Taichi stared at Mordred for a few seconds before raising his hands and clapping.

"Ah? What are you doing?" Mordred looked at Taiyi in confusion.

"To be honest, you almost fooled me." Taiyi applauded.

"Ugh—" Mordred frowned.

"First of all, I am not schizophrenic. I cannot communicate with my subconscious mind on the surface and with my conscious mind."

"Secondly, I don't know much about Jung's personality theory. I haven't even read the literal content. But you are trying to confuse me with language that I can understand. This is simply impossible."

"Finally, and most importantly...if you were really my subconscious, Axel would never have such strong rejection of you. I believe him."

"... Tsk, why don't you just let me fool you? Why do you need a brain!" Mordred showed an impatient look on his face, "Ah, that's right! I'm not a personality mask! It's just that there are no realm records in this world, so even if I want to obtain a replica of a heroic spirit, I can't do it. And then, when I couldn't understand why I was born, I was inexplicably sucked in by you."

"...According to your understanding, I probably became your 'Power of the Heroic Spirit', allowing you to become the 'Lock' of a Pseudo-Servant."

"Originally, we were not compatible, so it shouldn't have worked. But your body was like a master key, forcibly unlocking the 'lock' of my Heroic Spirit power, and even using my power without my permission... That armor is the result."

"Honestly, it's really infuriating to have my power borrowed by a coward like you who can't even endure 'physical pain'." Mordred's expression gradually became ferocious. "Plus, you have X to protect you, so even if I want to forcibly possess your body, I can't do it. X, damn it!"

Oh, the person in front of me didn't even cry out in pain when a gun pierced his body, so there is nothing wrong with what he said.

Taiichi has a certain admiration and respect for Mordred.

But, it is impossible to give up the body.

Even though Taichi Naruto's body is not his original one, it is much better than being a wandering ghost that no one can see.

"Taiyi! Treasure! Pfft! It's a shipwreck! I found the shipwreck!"

In the second minute after the transformation, Aix discovered a wooden shipwreck near the sea near Nara Prefecture.

Due to erosion by sea water, the original appearance of the wooden shipwreck could no longer be seen, but the several wooden boxes more than half a meter high instantly made Aix feel refreshed.

One of the wooden boxes probably contained books or something.

But now it has been soaked into a pool of filth that cannot be described in words.

In the relatively intact wooden box, there are several boxes neatly arranged that have not been corroded by sea water.

Although it is not clear what is inside, this is probably the most precious thing preserved from the ship.

The time for transformation was running out, and after putting away the box, Taichi controlled X's body and returned to Tokyo along the optical cable on the seabed. He then transformed back into a human in an alley near Shujin Private Academy where there was no surveillance.

The timing was just right, but also a little off.

Because those boxes are not easy to move.

It's not big in size, but it's not light in weight.

X directly used Ultra Telekinesis to open the lock of the box.

The two boxes were filled with gold bars.

There are thirty-six sticks in total, with a net weight of a little over eighteen kilograms.

A box was filled with land deeds and related paperwork.

It encompasses ownership of nearly 20 square kilometers of land in a place in Gifu Prefecture.

It’s just that it happened a bit too long ago, and I don’t know whether the local authorities will still recognize it.

The last box contained several 'seals' and some jewels.

The seal just happens to match the seals on the documents and deeds.

Wow, it’s all fat!

The next trip to the seabed, he salvaged ownership of 20 square kilometers of land, 18 kilograms of gold bars and some jewels that didn't look too valuable.

Even if the documents of land ownership were no longer recognized, the gold would be enough to keep him happy for a while.

This time Taiyi was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

Chapter 19 This wave is the disaster of Amamiya Ren

Achieve a lot.

For Taichi, whose daily income is less than 10,000 yen.

The harvest was small.

For the Suzuki family, whose size is too huge, they would not be interested in the things they have on hand at all.

Therefore, the idea of asking the Suzuki Zaibatsu to take over this underwater treasure was ruined.

Eighteen kilograms of gold of unknown origin and purity, as well as some jewelry of poor quality, would probably not be sold at a good price.
