Chapter 199 Ajito Negotiator
After leaving Shoichi Tsugami at Ryo Ashihara's house, Kawahara left and sent Kana Okamura, who had come by train, back with him.
Sitting on the back of the motorcycle, Kana Okamura looked more worried than before.
This girl always likes to keep things to herself.
But since this group of people already understood the situation almost completely and they had their first battle together, Kawahara took the initiative to speak this time.
"Ms. Okamura, you will meet more and more people with super powers in the future. Those two people think in a simple way, so I want you to be the negotiator for the three-person team of Agito."
"Eh? Huh?"
Okamura Kana looked up at his back dully: "That... that wasn't just a casual remark?"
Is there really a three-person team?
Kawahara's chuckled voice came from the front: "The Agito Club is impossible to exist, but a three-person team is still possible."
Okamura Kana hesitated in a low voice: "But can I really do it?"
"Believe in yourself! Last time you saved a human who was being chased by an angel, and you transformed into Agito and destroyed the angel, so you can also protect everyone!" Kawahara encouraged affirmatively.
“At that time, I…”
Kana Okamura suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
She still has some idea of how much she fights...
Kawahara smiled again and said, "I know you don't like fighting, so I didn't plan to let you fight, but Miss Okamura can still be the backup for the two of them, right?"
"…to be their backup?"
Okamura Kana opened her eyes slightly, the dark figure in front of her reflected in her pupils, but at this moment they seemed a little bright.
Even if you don't fight, you can still do something for everyone.
Okamura Kana looked down at her hands, recalled her first transformation battle, recalled the battle between the three of them, and finally, the image of Ashihara Ryo suddenly flashed through her mind.
It’s not like I suddenly fell in love with this yellow-haired bad guy during these few days of taking care of him…
But Kana Okamura suddenly remembered that even though that person could not even take care of his own situation, he still thought that he could not sit idly by and watch other people in danger.
And is there really nothing she can do?
Okamura Kana took a deep breath and seemed to have made up her mind at this moment and said, "I know! I will try my best!"
It was rare to hear her sound so sure, and Kawahara was very satisfied.
He then said, "Don't worry, you won't be the only one doing this. Someone will come to help you when the time comes."
Hearing this, Kana Okamura thought for a moment and said, "Is it the person Mr. Kawahara mentioned last time?"
"Yes, but his identity is a bit special, and he has to go through a procedure before he can be transferred to Tokyo. I will give you his contact information later." Kawahara said.
"..."
Okamura Kana was silent for a moment: "Mr. Kawahara, you have already made these plans, right?"
Kawahara laughed a few times when he heard this: "But this also depends on your own determination, right? If you really don't want to be the negotiator, I won't force you."
"…Thank you, but I want to try."
Okamura Kana finally replied in a low voice.
……
After making up her mind, her mood seemed to become much better. When Kana Okamura was sent to the foot of the apartment building, she waved and watched the black motorcycle leave.
Maybe she doesn't need to worry too much about the uncertain future, because there is someone who has always been helping and protecting them.
Protecting them as they are about to become out of tune with the world.
Kana Okamura smiled and turned to go upstairs.
But after opening the door of the apartment, the house was in a mess.
Kana Okamura picked up the broken glass on the ground that she was too lazy to clean up before going out. She stroked the edge of the glass with her fingertips, and suddenly her heart moved, and the glass fragments on the ground slowly floated together.
wow——
A full glass formed in her hands.
Success...
Kana Okamura gently stroked the smooth and flawless wall of the glass cup, and finally a knowing smile appeared on her face.
……
……
Early the next morning.
Kana Okamura came to work at the PolePole Cafe in a rare good mood. Although there was still little expression on her face, even the store manager Shi Yu could see that she was in a much brighter mood.
More importantly - this girl finally didn't slip/forget/misread the ingredients today! After Kawahara woke up in the morning, he also received a call from Ashihara Ryo, and learned that Tsugami Shoichi was indeed fully revived today.
The other person might have been beaten yesterday so he is not in a good mood.
[“That’s not the reason!”]
Suddenly, there was the sound of Shoichi Tsugami and Ryo Ashihara fighting over the phone on the other end of the line.
In the end, Ashihara Ryo still couldn't beat him.
Shoichi Tsugami's powerful voice came out.
[“Mr. Kawahara! You told me about my sister last time... Yesterday I saw a piece of news in the newspaper. There is something that I am very concerned about. Can I meet with you?”]
"Sure, come to PolePole."
Kawahara said while drinking coffee.
He thought about the incident involving Shoichi Tsugami's sister, Setsuna Sawaki, and what would appear in the newspaper. As expected, it should be the news about Professor Fuuya's murder.
In fact, it was Setsuna Sawaki's superpowers that got out of control during the experiment, and she accidentally killed Professor Fuuya.
And Professor Fuuya is Fuuya Manao's father.
Because of the murder of Professor Fengtani, Fengtani Manao has never given up on tracking down the murderer and has collected a lot of related news newspapers.
And now, the brother of the murderer who killed her father, Shoichi Tsugami, lives with her under the same roof...
Kawahara couldn't help but sigh and shook his head.
What a bad fate!
……
It was almost noon.
Before he could wait for Sho Tsugami to come over, a sneaky man wearing a detective windbreaker, beret and sunglasses sat down opposite the coffee table.
"Is the Metropolitan Police Department performing in a criminal investigation drama itself?" Kawahara looked at her with some amusement.
"Shh... After all, those old guys on the board of directors know that you and I are in contact. What if they send someone to follow me?" Sasayama said as he pushed up his sunglasses.
"But I think you're even more suspicious." Kawahara couldn't help but complain.
“That’s how movies and TV shows are played…”
"And your investigation of information in the Metropolitan Police Department won't be discovered?"
"So I asked someone to check it for me!"
Sasayama saw this and smiled somewhat smugly.
Kawahara couldn't help but wonder: "Is there anyone else left in the Metropolitan Police Department now?"
"No, it was Sakurai who was transferred to Tama City who gave me the information directly after he knew what I wanted to investigate, because Hachioji's base is in Tama City."
Seeing this, Sasayama said seriously, "Mr. Kawahara, the Hachioji base is a private military exercise site for the Self-Defense Forces. Apart from knowing where it is, we have no way of knowing what is going on inside."
Kawahara nodded thoughtfully, "It doesn't matter. I just need to know they are there."
Sasayama Momo handed him the documents he brought.
She said mysteriously, "Sakurai said that there is indeed an academic institute in Tama City whose purpose is unknown. The security there is not very tight. When he passed by the area during a police call, he said it looked like a school."
"School..."
Kawahara flipped open the document and looked at the distant photo of the academic research institute. He smiled slightly as if he had thought of something.
"If it was just a school then it would be fine, it would be better if it remained a school forever."
But the school will have to change its name by then.
At this time, Kana Okamura, who was working part-time in the store, came over tentatively and handed Sasayama Momiji a cup of coffee. Seeing this, Kawahara directly asked her to sit down with him.
Sasayama saw the employee who broke the plate last time and looked at him in surprise.
Kawahara introduced: "Okamura Kana, a person with superpowers, will contact your Metropolitan Police Department on my behalf when the time comes."
Upon hearing this, Sasayama's eyes widened.
It was the first time she had seen a person with super powers, and she couldn't help but look the other person up and down, which made Kana Okamura so nervous that she lowered her head slightly.
"You have to hold your head high. As a negotiator you must never show weakness." Kawahara said with a smile.
"..."
So Okamura Kana had no choice but to raise her head and look directly at Sasayama. Her cold eyes and tense face made Sasayama, who was standing opposite her, feel uneasy.
She leaned back and said, "Okay, okay, I can already feel your aura!"
People with social phobia do have a natural cold aura.
Okamura Kana breathed a sigh of relief again.
