After leaving the dormitory, I went to the park where my mother told me to meet her, where three black cars stopped in the parking lot, surrounded by black clothes.

It's obviously different, it's late and there's not a soul on the street, but still, from the outside, there was enough of a scene there to give you the impression that something is going on.

......

You watch in silence and feel the urge to turn back.

But that's not an option, so you redoubled your efforts to get close to it, convincing yourself that it's better than fighting the instructors.

Just to be sure, you will be careful not to be attacked while looking for signs of your surroundings.

Then I see one of the men in black, who had been watching his surroundings, notices me and reaches into his pocket.

Stop! What the hell are you doing here?

I was about to stop as warned and say my business, but before I could even open my mouth, the other black-robed man reacted and gave off a hint of danger.

If you are so alert, does that mean that this is definitely the place my mother designated for us to meet.

"Huh.

I let out a small audible sigh that would be too obvious, and slowly observe my opponent with my night eyes.

I quickly sit down and reach into my pocket as I determine that what I'm going to take out of my pocket is not a stick-shaped object, but an L-shaped gun.

You can deal with a gun under a magician, but it's impossible to do in the real world.

I wondered if it was time to use the pendant, and I was wondering how to prepare myself.

Wait.

"Sagamisama.

"That's the girl I called.

Haha.

But my fears turned out to be unfounded.

Before the black-suited man could move, the car window was open, and although his face was obscured by the light from the streetlights, his clear voice sounded well and stopped the black-suited man from moving.

The other black-suited individuals went to the back seat door and opened it, and a woman dressed in miko costume got out from inside.

The woman slowly walks toward me, accompanied by the black suit.

It's been a long time, Jiro-san.

It's been a while. Mr. Kirie.

Yes, really. . a child who was once so small has grown up.

And then he called my name.

I don't know how long it's been since I've seen the woman in front of me at ...... or at least since I was an adult.

We're about ten feet from each other's faces.

That's when I caught sight of a woman, my aunt and my mother's sister, Sagami Kirie.

She looks to be in her late 20's, or at best, early 30's, and her real age should be older than she looks: ......

Like my mom, this woman makes me wonder why women I know look so young.

Dressed in a miko costume, she walked slowly with straight black hair flowing in a gesture that could be described as a Japanese flower girl.

But the outfit, the gestures, the atmosphere, and the black clothes convinced me that my mother's family was of that sort.

At first, since it's been a while since we've seen each other, we bow and greet each other.

Well, Kakunaka, try Takamatsu.

Haha.

"Yes!

The dialogue does not end peacefully.

What's the matter with you, but I'll dismiss it as work time.

Kirie's expression didn't change, but her words were stern.

Without question, Kirie instructs the black-robed man standing beside her to come at me.

Was she holding a baton instead of a gun, or did she have some other intention?

But he still posed a threat.

The two black-robed men with their well-trained bodies instantly approached me without mercy or mercy, and attacked me with all their might.

The way that a layman would be sure to break a bone, not deadly but likely to cause serious injury.

Cooperation that can be done by well-trained people.

A somewhat excessive response for an unacquainted person.

A willingness to attack to overpower the opponent.

In response to this action, my thoughts instantly switch to battle mode, and I consciously manipulate my heavy body, which is outside the office.

With your eyes you acquire information at any time and examine the opponent's strength.

The movements of the two men in black are so refined that it wouldn't be surprising to see them in the Self-Defense Forces, but...

"Ha!

"Huh!"?

"Gah!

As one of the instructors, I have to say that the movement is slow.

Is this what they say about needing to put all your strength into it?

Even if they think I'm moving as fast as I can, it feels slow to me, and I'm fully capable of dealing with movements in the same area.

And since you're not under the magic element, your dynamic vision is also affected and your ability is lowered, but that's just the standard for a space with magic.

Even without the magic element, my dynamic vision is still better than usual.

Naturally, my reflexes have been trained to follow that dynamic vision.

Reliably catching the opponent's movement, I grab the first one's wrist as he comes down and lightly throw him away with one hand.

The first one tries to take a passive stance, but is creative in doing so.

You can't passive, but you can slam into the ground with a throw that will only cause pain and stop your movement so you don't get hurt.

Then, without wavering when your comrade is hit, he will take advantage of the opportunity after the throw.

Humph!

Quickly release your wrist from your grasp and intercept it as it picks up the ground and stays in the air.

Flying up from the ground, he twists his body at high speed to intercept the first target, the baton.

Jumping up from the ground, with a high-speed twist of the body, the right leg kicks off the first target, the baton.

The second shot of the chase follows, and your right hand is blown off as you become free, and you quickly try to defend yourself with your left hand.

But it's too late.

As you weave your way through the defense, lightly kick off your chin with your left foot, and you will fall to your knees after taking a few steps backwards.

He then tries to stand, but seems unable to get up.

It seems that he was able to add or subtract and incapacitate himself.

This lasted less than ten seconds.

You've subdued two grown men in the blink of an eye.

...... Your sister was right, you're even more skilled than I imagined. I don't want to say it's as good as it sounds, but I think it's her son. I'm sorry for trying to do that.

No, you're going to use a young man who can't understand what he's talking about. It's no problem at all.

I'm the one who's become comfortable with a fight that wasn't meant to kill in the first place.

If it was this level of battle, I wouldn't care.

You tell an apologetic-looking Kirie to raise her head and tell her that there will be no time.

That's right, there's no time. After the battle, and from your sister, I know you're quite capable. I'll rely on you for this one. I'll talk to you on the move.

I was told to get into the car without saying goodbye, and after being helped up by my friends, the black suit was taken to another car, and I was put in the same car as Kirie-san, led by the other waiting black suits.

In order to tell the story of the incident, I need to tell you the history of the Sagami family first. I'm short on time, so may I skip it?

"Yes, please.

I don't think I'd understand what my mother's parents' house is all about, so for now, I'll just listen to the point.

Nodding at my reply, Kirie-san then prefaced her explanation.

I don't know what organization it is, but the fact is that it was planned. We are trying to get results in the form of a bombing. There are several problems, but the main problem is that a lot of people died there, and there is a problem of mixed souls. So this is what you are going to prevent this time.

"Confluence of souls?

"To put it plainly, when a lot of people die there, is it easier to say that the place is flooded with boundless spirits?

Yes, well, sort of, so what's the problem? It's certainly a problem when a lot of people die, but I don't think that's what Ms. Kirie is talking about.

Yes, that's right. The resultant lingering memories of the dead are a problem in this case. Our Sagami family has guarded a number of special seals for generations. What is being targeted this time is one of those seals, the road to Hades.

"Does the road to Hades mean the road to hell?

"Yes, that's the Yominokuni. However, it is not a main road like Yominohira-zaka, but a loophole or a side road. The path is narrow and rough. But it does lead to Yoseminokuni.

Yomei is the Japanese mythological equivalent of hell.

It's a reference to hell.

One of the most famous stories is that Izanagi followed his dead wife Izanami to Yominokuni.

It's a place where even gods go when they die.

I would have laughed at the idea that such a thing was absurd and ended this conversation, but recent developments show that it's not a funny joke.

That's a cold sweat or two when you hear about the opening of the road to hell.

Our ancestors' role is to prevent and monitor the disasters that flow out of it, and that is still the case today.

I didn't think there was anything unusual lurking in this neighborhood, but now I can't laugh at it.

In fact, I'm interacting with immortals, demons, and other beings that are close to Japanese monsters.

I'm sorry to say that I've lost the nerve to laugh at what Kirie says is a lie.

"If this incident turns out to be the worst, it will result in Japan spreading disaster. However, the number of people who can use Yin and Yang and the divine power is decreasing nowadays, so I had no choice but to call my sister who really had no choice but to go on the run.

And the way his arms are clenched in his lap tells me that this case is important enough to attract a sister who doesn't want to get involved.

Oh, and? So what do I do? I mean, I'm confident in my arm strength, but I don't have that kind of divine power that I rely on, you know?

His expression is not distorted, but you can clearly feel that he is filled with rage.

So, try to correct the course before I digress.

Rest assured that I won't be expecting that. What we need this time is what you call a goatee. We'll be prepared to seal it just in case. Therefore, Jiro-san and his sister have a tool that we have prepared for you, and we ask you to take it and subdue the culprits.

If that's what you mean.

Then he quietly took an old wooden box that was sitting next to the seat, untied some ostentatious strings, opened the lid, and held it out to me.

"What's this? Tabi?

Yes, it is a great leather tabi.

"Is ...... a real thing?

I wish I could say it was the real thing, but it's a replica. I would say it's the real thing, but it's a replica, but it's very effective, although not as effective as the real thing. You will be able to run many times faster than you feel with these.

"No, then why don't you just use this and let someone other than me control it?

If we had someone available, we would have let them use it.

"I mean?

As I said before, the number of surgeons is on the decline these days. To be honest, even that older sister is in such short supply that she's too good to let go of her personality.

My mother can do pretty much anything she wants to, but she's a free-spirited and well-travelled woman, and I'm sure she'll have a complaint or two, so I shut up and listened.

There are only a few people who can use it in our hands. But those few have been dispatched to other sites. We are short on men.

So I'm the one who got the nod.

It's not divine to look at, but it's an item that gives off a pure atmosphere.

I've heard it's a replica, but it's still a piece of God's work.

You are going to be able to use it for your sister, but Jiro-san can handle it with no problem, so I'll leave it with you.

Shut up and I take it and stare at it intently.

"I'll give you the rest of the equipment on site. For now, please look over this material.

This.

Using information from the police and the shikigami, we have been able to figure out the composition, placement, and structure of the bomb.

After that, a tablet was handed to her, which would be commonplace in modern times, but a little uncomfortable for Ms. Kirie, dressed as a shrine maiden, to hold, and when slid, there is a list of information on the scene.

The more I read in silence, the more it appears that there is no way to contain the bomb by normal means.

That's why it's a cheat.

Inside the materials were descriptions of the effects of the Tabi Shoes by those who used them in the past.

At least ten times as fast and nearly thirty times as fast as the high ones.

However, the power contained in the sole seems to be battery-powered, so the effect is limited in duration.

You must keep that in mind when going about your business.

So I've been brought here.

Is this the landing field?

"Yes, I will meet the police from here. So it looks like you're here before the ...... of operations.

If the square with the heliport is the destination, then the movement from here will be by helicopter.

As I was listening to the explanation, I had a bad feeling about the situation, but then Kirie quickly got out of the car and looked up at the sky and announced that someone was coming.

Before I can ask who, a helicopter approaches and lands at the heliport.

"Kirie! Son! How you're doing! Hey, Ichirō, how long are you going to last?

No. Wait, I'm a little uncomfortable. Wait, I'm feeling a little sick.

Out of it were my parents.

I see, they're here for sure.

And I'm sure Kirie's mood has changed.

My mother and Kirie-san are certainly incompatible with my mother, who doesn't read the air, not that she can't read the air, I thought as I approached my mother as she got off the helicopter, dragging my father along with her.

A word of advice for today

Now, what's going to happen next, right, God only knows?
