Chapter 211 Okamura Kana: It seems like there is a mountain
Meanwhile on the other side.
Metropolitan Police Department.
Kaoru Ichijo, who had just returned to Tokyo, did have a lot of things to deal with, the first of which was the Sumida Park Action Group's encirclement and suppression incident that occurred yesterday.
The [Agito Capture Plan] organized by the Metropolitan Police Department was undoubtedly a complete failure.
It even nearly caused a disaster.
Kaoru Ichijo sat in the makeshift planning office, flipping through the action plan in his hand while communicating with the person on the other side of the line.
"We've got the action plan. Although it doesn't explicitly say we're going to take action against No. 2, we've requested a batch of heavy weapons and neuroschisis bombs."
"Well, the on-site action records show that they took the initiative to attack No. 2. This may be possible..."
"I understand. Thank you for your hard work."
"..."
After discussing the Metropolitan Police Department's actions for a while, Xun Ichijo hung up the phone.
He didn't know what he was thinking about. Suddenly he sighed and leaned back in his chair, looking at the phone with a slightly dazed look.
Sasayama, who came over with a pile of documents, looked at him and said, "What's wrong? Mr. Ichijo, are you worried about the action team?"
"It's not..."
Ichijo Kaoru came back to his senses and smiled: "I just thought, I never thought that one day I would be able to use these methods."
"Huh?" Sasayama looked a little confused.
"If Mr. Matsukura wants to return to the Metropolitan Police Department, this incident can be used as a basis for criticizing the board of directors - they took the initiative to provoke a dispute with No. 2, causing the people to fall into danger, and the action failed. This is not a responsibility they can take." Kaoru Ichijo said in a deep voice.
"Oh, I see! But I didn't expect that Mr. Matsukura would come back. It seems that the situation is really serious." Sasayama also sighed when he saw this.
"The existence of people with superpowers is no longer an ordinary thing. The impact they have on the world... may be even more far-reaching than the existence of Gurongi, so we must start preparing from now on."
Ichijo Xun said as he looked at her and smiled, "Sorry to bother you again. I'm afraid it will be very busy again."
Sasayama smiled and said, "What does it matter? This kind of life is quite fulfilling. Anyway, I don't have to retire and go home to get married~"
Ichijo Kaoru paused in surprise when he heard this: "Eh? Really? Because I heard that you and Sakurai..."
"Etc., etc!"
Sasayama, who was about to hear something, interrupted him awkwardly: "It's time to work now! Mr. Ichijo, don't bring up that guy's matter here!"
Looking at her like this, Xun Ichijo shook his head and laughed.
……
evening.
Metropolitan Police Department waiting room.
Officer Kono opened the door and looked at Kana Okamura who was sitting in a daze: "Ms. Okamura, thank you for your hard work. You can leave now."
Kana Okamura appeared at the scene as an ordinary citizen, so she was taken back to the Metropolitan Police Department for questioning about what happened at the time.
Although everyone thought she was just a passerby.
But Kana Okamura knew very well that she was an Agito who had accidentally walked into a tiger's mouth.
Agito, Gills, and even Black No. 2, who were present at the time, have been taken away to who knows where. If the Metropolitan Police Department finds out that she is also an Agito...
Kana Okamura couldn't imagine the consequences.
However, her natural coldness became a good protective color, and Kana Okamura's mind had never been so calm.
Facing the police officers' questioning, she clearly described the situation from beginning to end from a bystander's perspective, and even secretly exaggerated and dissed the operation team for disregarding her safety.
After spending a terrifying night in the Metropolitan Police Department, Kana Okamura finally calmed down.
There will be more and more "Agitos" who can transform. If the police really start to deal with these "monsters" who can transform...
Is a war about to start?
She even began to think about this problem.
Just when Kana Okamura was feeling confused, Officer Kono, who was in charge of her, signaled that she could leave the Metropolitan Police Department.
Kana Okamura packed up her belongings and followed the other party out of the waiting room in silence.
The atmosphere in the Metropolitan Police Department has been heavy these past two days.
Kana Okamura followed Officer Kono with her head down, feeling uneasy. A few people were coming from the other side of the aisle. Officer Kono in front of her paused slightly, greeted them, and walked over.
However, when the two sides passed each other, a woman with long black hair and wearing a formal dress suddenly stopped.
She raised her hand to look at a glowing electronic bracelet on her wrist, then her gaze fell on Okamura Kana's back, and an astonishing light flashed in her eyes!
"Ms. Deep Sea, what's wrong?"
The police officer who saw her stop nearby asked.
"nothing……"
The woman withdrew her gaze with a strange smile, turned around and continued to walk towards the board meeting room.
……
Outside the Metropolitan Police Department.
After being sent out by Officer Kono, Kana Okamura was confused about where to go. A gentle man in a long windbreaker walked towards her on the side of the road.
"Ms. Okamura Kana, my name is Kaoru Ichijo, and I'm here to take you back to PolePole." "Ah?" Okamura Kana was stunned.
"Kawahara asked me to pick you up."
Looking at her expression, Ichijo Kaoru paused and said, "Of course, if you have somewhere else you want to go, I can also take you there—"
"No! Sure, please take me there!"
At this moment, Okamura Kana seemed to suddenly realize something and grabbed his sleeve and shouted anxiously.
Kaoru Ichijo was a little surprised at her change of mood. He comforted the somewhat agitated Kana Okamura, then took his men in the police car to the PolePole Cafe.
……
……
PolePole Cafe.
After explaining some things to Tetsuya Sawaki, Kawahara is now facing the problem of someone's disappearance.
He contacted Professor Misugi's family, from whom he learned that Shoichi Tsugami had never returned after leaving the hospital this morning. In the eyes of Misugi's family, he was already missing for a day and a night.
Kawahara called again using the motorcycle's communication system, but there was no response from the other end.
It was not until he opened the positioning system that he realized that the guy had already left Tokyo!
So the location is out of service area...
What's happening here?
Was Agito so frightened by him that he woke up and fled from the Tokyo stage?
Not really...
Kawahara was wondering what was going on with Shoichi Tsugami when the door of PolePole shop was pushed open and Kaoru Ichijo walked in with Kana Okamura who looked nervous.
"Oh~~ It's been a long time since we last met, that handsome guy in a windbreaker!"
The jewelry store manager sighed when he saw Kaoru Ichijo.
Xun Ichijo smiled helplessly and nodded: "It's been a long time since we last met. The manager is still so energetic."
The jewelry store manager smiled proudly.
He then looked at Okamura Kana and waved, "Kana-chan, you came back with the handsome guy in the windbreaker! Yeah~ I was really worried when I heard you were in the Metropolitan Police Department yesterday. You should be okay now, right?"
"I'm fine! Thank you, manager!"
Okamura Kana responded by waving her hand at him.
She looked towards that corner immediately after she walked into the cafe, and after seeing Kawahara's usual face, her tense mood finally relaxed completely.
"Mr. Kawahara..."
Kana Okamura quickly came to the coffee table, looked at Kawahara who gave her a comforting smile, then she sobbed and tears fell.
"and many more!"
Kawahara, who was caught off guard by this scene, stood up suddenly.
No matter how pessimistic Okamura Kana was before, at least she had never cried. And her crying was not the kind that vented her emotions with great ups and downs. She just shed tears silently and wiped them away herself.
This really made Kawahara a little at a loss.
"I'm sorry, I'm really scared..."
Kana Okamura wiped her tears and choked up, "If everyone is gone, what will I do alone..."
It took her a lot of effort to accept her identity.
I also have companions who can face it together.
I just decided not long ago that I would continue to live my life with a normal mood.
But the next moment, everything that happened before suddenly turned into a false dream. The illusory thing shattered in an instant, and Okamura Kana felt that she was almost suffocated by the collapsing despair.
Kawahara looked at the crying Kana Okamura in silence for a while, then raised his hand and touched her head.
He chuckled and said, "How come you are alone? Didn't I tell you before that someone would come to help you?"
"but……"
Okamura looked at him with tearful eyes.
At this time, Kaoru Ichijo also came forward and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have heard about your situation from Kawahara. I will be your negotiator and contact the Metropolitan Police Department in the future."
Hearing this, Okamura Kana looked at him again.
Before she could say anything, the jade store manager suddenly came up from behind, smiled and gave her a thumbs up.
"Kana-chan, I don't know what happened to you, but don't be sad. Next time I will teach you my secret recipe for golden curry rice!"
"Store manager..."
Okamura Kana looked at him and suddenly burst into laughter, reaching out to wipe the tears from her face.
Kawahara smiled slightly and said, "So you won't be alone. And there's more than one. In addition to the Metropolitan Police Department, I have also prepared a very good teacher for you. When the time comes, you can learn from him how to deal with these things!"
"Eh?"
While wiping her tears, Kana Okamura suddenly felt that something was wrong.
In a trance, she felt as if something was about to suffocate her...
