Chihaya Aine has nine wings

Crychic. It was the heroic team they once formed.

They were all gathered by Toyokawa Shoko.

Takamatsu Tomo who has unlimited potential, Shiina Tateki who has abnormal supernatural powers, Wakaba Mutsu who manipulates the sky like a god, and Toyokawa Shoko who has the ability to see into people's hearts.

And her, Nagasaki Suyo.

The five of them formed a team.

She still remembered the day when Xiangzi gave a speech in front of everyone they met for the first time. The light in his golden eyes flickered, filled with expectations for the future.

She still remembers that day, after everyone completed the first task, they sat shoulder to shoulder on the beach, watched the sun rise together, and sang the festival songs together.

Xiangzi said that they were a community with a shared destiny and would advance and retreat together, whether in life or death.

Xiangzi said that she wanted to be a hero with them and become someone who protects all the weak.

Then Xiangzi left.

In the heavy rain that day, wearing a wet petticoat, she told them that she was leaving the team.

There is no intention of lingering.

Moreover, Xiangzi never said why she wanted to leave.

She turned and left, easily and frivolously, as if this team was insignificant, and as if what she had said before about a community of shared destiny was all a lie.

Since then, Takamatsu Deng lost his confidence and stopped contacting everyone. Li Xi plunged into the special exam of the Hound Unit, where she was in danger of death. She was also extremely distressed by the disbandment of the team.

Tossing and turning, unable to sleep at night.

As wonderful as the time was when Crychic and everyone were heroes, how painful it was for Nagasaki Motoyo after losing Crychic.

Therefore, she wants Crychic to regroup.

But first, she must find Xiangzi and find out why she wants to quit.

Nagasaki Suyo quickly glanced at the people in the RING lobby. Good, Aine and the others were not there. If they were, then today's matter would have to be asked another day.

Before she walked to the counter, she asked Ms. Rinrinko if she could check RING's database.

Toyokawa Shoko's Toyokawa family was once famous. Toyokawa Shoko's father was one of the ten directors of the "Round Table", the highest decision-making body of the Supernatural Management Bureau.

But that was “once”.

A few months ago, Toyokawa Shoko's father was dismissed from his post, and the Toyokawa family's assets were confiscated, and they fell into ruin overnight. Then in the next few days, Toyokawa Shoko asked to leave the team.

Nagasaki Suyo didn't believe that Toyokawa Shoko would give up her heroic dream just because her family fell into poverty.

Therefore, she felt that there must be other hidden reasons behind the decline of the Toyokawa family.

Although Nagasaki Suyo's mother was not one of the ten directors of the "Round Table", she was also an important senior executive of the Ability Management Bureau. After Toyokawa Shoko's father was dismissed, she was even one of the candidates for the new director. But when Nagasaki Suyo asked her mother why the Toyokawa family fell into decline, she only got a silent shake of the head.

She couldn't find it. All her intelligence networks couldn't find the answer. Likewise, she couldn't find any trace of Toyokawa Shoko. If it weren't for a blurry photo taken by a senior from the photography club with a drone, Nagasaki Suyo would have even thought that Shoko had gone abroad.

Therefore, she now wants to find clues about the reasons for the decline of the Toyokawa family from RING's database.

RING is managed and protected by the Yao clan. Grandma Yao is also one of the directors of the "Round Table". Even the top leaders of the Ability Management Bureau only have reading privileges but no editing privileges.

Unless the Toyokawa family's affairs were planned by the Yao family, otherwise, as long as we spend time, we will definitely be able to find clues.

"The database can only be viewed by heroes who have successfully registered," Miss Rinrinko replied with a smile.

"We are almost done with registration, but now there is something urgent and we need to check the information." Nagasaki Motoyo made an anxious expression, "You know, I, Shiina Riki and the others are the vigilante team."

"Sorry, we can't do that." Rin Rinko smiled bitterly, "Only the hero's ID card has the authority to swipe open the door to the database. Even my employee card won't work."

"Is that so..." Nagasaki Motoyo's expression was a little reluctant, "Thank you very much..."

"It's not too late to come back once you've successfully registered." Rinrinko said with a smile.

register?

Once you register with the vigilante team, it will be difficult to withdraw.

Nagasaki Suyo's eyes were dim.

She just wanted the Crychic from before.

She... had no intention of forming a new team with Aine and the others. She only agreed verbally to stabilize Takamatsu Deng and Riki first.

After getting Shoko back, she would immediately kick out Aine and Kaname Rakuna - that was her original plan.

"..." Nagasaki Suyo couldn't help but touch her lips. In her mind, she recalled the serious injuries that Aine suffered in order to save her during the battle at the dock.

That was originally the plan.

but now……

She was a little shaken.

But a hero team can only have five people at most.

Forget it, finding Xiangzi is the most important thing. We can still think about other things later.

I could ask other heroes for help, or I could think of another way and check the database.

Nagasaki Suyo thought about it, turned her head, and looked into Chihaya Aine's big, bright eyes.

"Database? What do you want to check?" the pink-haired girl asked curiously, "Su Shi, what are you doing?"

Chapter 47 Everyone, I want Aine to attack Maomao

This fright almost gave Aine Nagasaki Motoyo a heart attack.

"You!... Why are you here?" After the first word, Su Shi changed her voice to a gentle one, and smiled helplessly, "This is the homework assigned by our teacher. I thought that if I could use more authoritative information as a reference, I could get a higher score, so I came to ask if I could enter the database."

“Eh——there’s such a thing.” Aine exclaimed.

“In the end, I can’t get in.” Nagasaki spread his hands, “Aine, why are you here…?”

"I was just about to go eat with Deng and Li Xi." Aine pointed behind her, "Does Su Shi want to join us?"

Su Shi sighed secretly in his heart.

"Alright."

………………

"equipment?"

“Yes, I always feel like there’s not much I can do in the time stop.” Aine said as she reached out to wipe the rice grains from Takamatsu Deng’s mouth with a piece of paper, “I don’t even have the most basic weapons right now, I can’t just knock people out every time the time stops, right?”

This was the question Aine asked during the meal.

--arms.

This is indeed a big problem. In these missions, the flaws of Aine and Deng in their attack methods have been clearly revealed.

When fighting the bomber, Aiyin had a chance to escape only by touching the stun gun of a roadside policeman.

At the dock, since they had no strong means of attack, all they could do was act as Nagasaki Motoyo's mount and carry her around in time stop.

The fear of insufficient firepower has been engraved deep in the human soul since ancient times, and Aine also desperately hopes that she can have certain means of attack.

But this raises another problem - as a hero, weapons are difficult to use legally.

For example, firearms, the simplest and most basic lethal weapon in modern society, are actually very difficult for people to obtain legal rights to use.

Yes, it is outrageous. In this society of people with special powers, basically 30% of them have means of killing that surpass firearms, but firearms are difficult to obtain.

Anyone who wants to own a gun legally, even a hero, needs to undergo relevant training and obtain relevant certificates before they can obtain firearms legally and in compliance with regulations in places with business licenses.

It’s harder than getting a driving license.

This is not a special case in Japan, but basically the same situation all over the world, of course, with the exception of a certain free country on the other side of the ocean.

This is true for firearms, and even more so for other more advanced weapons.

Nowadays, there are many people with superpowers in the world who can create weapons based on superpowers, and those things are much more powerful than guns.

Do you still remember the stone sword of the swordsmith?

If you give the swordsmith enough time, he can make a hundred of them and fill up an entire playground. Then you can just point and hit whatever you want, and you'll be the strongest terrorist in Tokyo.

Therefore, for the sake of social stability, these supernatural weapons are unsurprisingly strictly regulated, and the license for the legal use of supernatural weapons is even stricter than that for firearms.

Alas, these things are only for heroes.

In fact, in today's society where heroes and criminals fight each other everywhere, who doesn't have a weapon to protect themselves? As for whether the weapons are illegal or legal, not many people care. As long as nothing happens, no one will pursue it. If something happens, it is definitely more profitable to save your life with a weapon than to lose the lawsuit later.

That is, heroes need the legal power to fight criminals in public, so regulatory issues have to be considered.

Therefore, the heroes in Japan today who need weapons but cannot pass the exams have invented a very cool solution.

Pick up equipment.

The Superpower Administration does not allow heroes to illegally possess weapons, but it never says that illegal use of weapons is not allowed?

Many people may wonder what the difference is between the two. Let’s put it this way, not being allowed to “possess” just means that you cannot carry a pistol in your trouser pocket, but you can shoot a gun.

How can you shoot without a gun? If you shoot, where did the gun come from?

Picked it up from the ground.

"I thought no one wanted that thing out there, so I picked it up."

Some experienced heroes will hire a few people and have them hide when they are on a mission. If a fight really breaks out, they will have them throw their weapons to the ground. The experienced heroes can then use the weapons they "picked up" to deal with the criminals while laughing at the sky, "God has given me an AK47!"

This is great. Not only do you not need to verify your identity, you can also buy the guns you use on the black market. Illegal guns can be found everywhere in the black market in Tokyo's underground city, and they are very cheap.

Of course, of course, this method is basically only used by a very few unethical heroes, and most people will obediently take the license exam.

After all, the license you obtain can be included in your resume and help you find a job when you are no longer a hero in the future (shrugs).

“Richi, you’re still a supernatural police officer!” Aine crossed her arms and made an X, “I refuse, I refuse. Instead of using such a shameless method, I should really take the exam and get a certificate.”

Of course, there are also test takers like Aine who don’t treat exams as exams at all, and have no concept of “failing the exam” in their minds at all.

"Not impossible." Li Xi shrugged. "There's no rush anyway. Our team's output is actually sufficient."

She, Nagasaki Suyo, and Kaname Rakuna, to be honest, there are things that the three of them can't do, and ordinary weapons can't do them either.

For example, the monster encountered in the previous battle at the dock was finally killed with the cooperation of Aine and Su Shi, and the aftermath of the attack directly destroyed the entire dock.

This is the power that can kill, really, is there any individual equipment among modern weapons that can do that?

"So, it's better to focus on more important things." Li Xi swallowed the food and said, "Unless you have nothing to do and have money to spend."

“Hmm…” Aine held the spoon in her mouth and made a bitter face, “That’s true…”

But, but, this is really lame!

When her classmates asked her "Ain, Ain, what is your role in the hero team?", she couldn't pat her chest and say that she was Su Shi's mount, right?

That's lame, so lame!

It would be better for her to get a weapon so that when her classmates ask her about it in the future, she can take it out and show off her skills.

Aiyin held her chin in her hand and thought intermittently.

Suddenly Li Xi's cell phone rang.

"Hello? You want an uncle? Huh? Ain? I can't get through?" Li Xi looked at Ain, "Is your phone turned off?"

Aiyin was startled: “No.”

He looked down at his phone: "Ah, I'm out of payment."

Riki rolled his eyes and handed the phone over. Aiyin took the call.

The man opposite is an uncle.

The uncle first expressed his apologies, and then wanted to ask Aine if she had time to help and go to a place to pick up Rana.

"I've always asked Li Xi to help, but she's been busy with her job as a supernatural police officer and her studies lately, so I had to think of you." The uncle said embarrassedly, "We are also busy here and can't get away. Of course, if you are not free, I will find someone else."

"Ah, of course I'm free," Aine agreed, "So where should I go to pick it up?"

"Police station."

"……what?"

“Ahahaha, it’s okay. We’re used to it.” The uncle laughed. “Don’t be too anxious. You can go after you have dinner.”

"Uh...do we need to buy a meal for Lenai?"
