Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 584 - 582: This Is Allowing Anything
Beep beep.
Inside the dim and gloomy safe, which looked uncomfortable and indeed was uncomfortable.
The phone alarm woke Takahashi Saeko.
She opened her eyes, turned off the alarm immediately, and looked outside.
The human figure on the bed hadn't moved, and the infrared alarms, hidden traps, and surveillance outside had not been triggered.
No one attempted to break in for an assassination last night.
This made Takahashi Saeko believe Aozawa's words a little more.
After saying goodbye to Aozawa yesterday, Takahashi Saeko did not stop her actions but continued to search for Slim's whereabouts in the underground world.
If Aozawa indeed had a powerful force behind him, he should know her actions, noticing that she didn't fully trust his words.
According to that organization's ruthless style.
They should have sent someone over last night.
Seeing nothing happened outside, was she playing mind games with the air?
This thought flashed through Takahashi Saeko's mind, hoping for a comedic outcome.
She carefully crawled out of the safe, temporarily deactivated the infrared alarm device, and instead of dismantling the traps, cautiously avoided them.
In the washroom, Takahashi Saeko brushed her teeth and washed her face, then used makeup techniques to give herself a bit of a disguise.
She planned to follow Aozawa today, to see what he was up to.
Takahashi Saeko was not Ayatsuki Ayaka; she wouldn't easily believe Aozawa and preferred trusting the results obtained through her methods.
Only by testing various methods, confirming Aozawa's innocence, would she shift her focus to the Different World.
Takahashi Saeko had already decided to explore matters related to the Different World.
Iroha's sudden emergence of superpower, whether good or bad, was hard to say.
Perhaps there was no issue with Iroha's superpower now, but could such a suddenly emerged ability not spiral out of control?
If it became uncontrollable or had some impact on the body, what then?
Takahashi Saeko wasn't as naive as Ayatsuki Ayaka to think having a superpower was unequivocally good, but rather held strong caution towards the unknown.
Without fully understanding, she couldn't completely rest assured.
After doing her makeup, Takahashi Saeko had a simple breakfast and left home.
The infrared alarm device was reactivated, and the multiple traps left behind were specifically prepared for unexpected intruders intending to sneak into her house.
Takahashi Saeko headed to Shinjuku Station.
...
Tokyo, Ayase Station.
The morning sunlight poured over the deserted street, as Takahashi Saeko leisurely drank warm milk tea, strolling slowly along the street.
She glanced lightly at the Morimoto Family residence diagonally across, the wrought iron gate opened, and a Bugatti Veyron drove out.
The car window rolled down, allowing Takahashi Saeko to see clearly that it was Morimoto Chiyoda inside.
As she sipped her milk tea, she thought Aozawa should still be home, so she took small steps around it, scanning the surroundings to check for surveillance.
She circled the mansion once, finding no signs of surveillance around.
Takahashi Saeko stopped, casually took a makeup mirror from her bag, seemingly admiring her exquisite makeup, but her true intent was to spy on the Morimoto Family entrance with the mirror.
After patiently waiting, she finally saw Aozawa leaving the house, and seeing the direction he was heading, Takahashi Saeko closed the makeup mirror and nonchalantly followed.
Takahashi Saeko had rich experience in tailing.
In her line of work, possessing excellent tracking skills was a must.
Many beginners easily got noticed while following someone, as they didn't fit in with the atmosphere; as long as you made yourself seem ordinary and kept some distance from the target, you wouldn't draw attention.
After all, on a street, people might notice someone with a flashy, unconventional style, but they wouldn't remember a plain, unremarkable passerby.
Takahashi Saeko knew how to make herself the unnoticed ordinary person, trailing Aozawa to Ayase Station, boarding the same car yet sitting in a different spot.
Then at Kita-Senju Station, she followed Aozawa off, mingling within the crowd, reaching Adachi Market.
Takahashi Saeko saw Aozawa meet with a short-haired girl with ears covered.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, recalling who that girl was.
It's Tetsuji Hojo's younger sister, Shouko, a junior by one year.
Is this a date?
Takahashi Saeko thought to herself, only having heard about Aozawa's involvement with Phoenix Academy and Morimoto from Iroha.
But now, it seemed Aozawa's interactions with Shouko were not just recent.
However, if it were a date, meeting at a market seemed rather odd.
Takahashi Saeko couldn't associate a market with a date, assuming it was planned jointly to grocery shop.
Thinking this, she blended into the market too.
The clamor of voices, the unique aroma of the market, made Takahashi Saeko wrinkle her brows a bit; she wasn't the type who enjoyed grocery shopping, preferring eating out or ordering food delivery.
She generally doesn't go to the supermarket to buy groceries, nor does she visit the vegetable market here.
But, thanks to past experiences, Takahashi Saeko easily blended in. Still, she didn't buy any groceries, and she left Adachi Market with Aozawa and Shouko, watching them buy milk tea, then heading towards Kita-Senju Station.
Takahashi Saeko followed along, taking the train back to Ayase, keeping a certain distance the whole way.
She watched as he returned home with groceries.
What kind of househusband is this?
She mocked inwardly, feeling she was being overly suspicious, yet she patiently waited outside for Aozawa's next outing.
...
Closing the door, Aozawa handed the meat and vegetables to the emerging Shadow Soldier, who took them to the kitchen.
He strode back to the bedroom, placing his phone on the bedside table.
Another Shadow Soldier emerged from the shadows on the floor to guard the bedside table. Instead of staying inside, he used the element replacement ability to transform into an invisible breeze.
Then, using Schrodinger's cat, he directly jumped from the bedroom.
Instantly, he appeared in a deserted alley in Shinjuku Okubo, using catalyst induction to survey the surroundings, confirming there was no surveillance.
Aozawa used the transformation ability, becoming a slender-haired man, not resembling any 2D character, purely a random male transformation.
Then he used allowing anything, an invisible wave expanding outward from inside his body, seemingly merging with the world, unnoticed.
Aozawa clenched his hand, stepping out of the secluded alley onto the bustling street.
Bright sunlight lit up the bustling shopping street, neon signs losing their glow in daylight.
The throng of people seemed to divide the world into different lines, each person having their own world line.
Thinking about allowing anything, Aozawa walked into a clothing store.
The store's space was modest, with warm-colored decor, staffed by two young female clerks, just over twenty, with minimal fat everywhere.
One man and a woman were inside, choosing clothes.
Aozawa casually glanced, picked up some clothes, intentionally parading them before the clerks, then leaving without paying.
The clerks watched him leave, still smiling and saying, "Please visit us again."
Standing outside, Aozawa gained some understanding of the ability allowing anything, finding it very suitable for assassins.
Using this ability, he estimated, he could walk in through the front door for an assassination, kill anyone he wanted without encountering any obstacles.
Aozawa doubted that if he turned and lifted the clerk's pencil skirt, and stripped her clothes, he probably wouldn't encounter any unwilling reactions.
The surrounding people might not even perceive his actions as excessive.
This indeed is allowing anything, a pass for villainous deeds.
Aozawa thought about this, then turned and put the clothes back.
With his high moral standards and firm will, he could resist such temptations to act freely.
Even though there would be no consequences, choosing to test superpowers in such a way undoubtedly violated Aozawa's internal moral baseline.
He turned and left the clothing store, contemplating that allowing anything could accomplish many things.
He strolled to a Mitsubishi Bank.
Aozawa stopped and went through the bank's entrance, faced with a line of people before three staff counters.
He stepped forward and bypassed the line, vaulting over the counter, taking out the cash before them, and slapped a wad on a staff member's face, saying, "Hey, take me to see the manager, then to the vault to get money."
"Sure, sir."
The staff smiled warmly with a spirit of hospitality, standing to lead Aozawa to the manager's office.
Aozawa remained silent along the way, observing the reactions of those around him, none felt odd, just as eating is a living necessity.
His actions to take money and have the staff lead him to the manager became such a commonplace, not shocking the people around.
Reaching the manager's office, the staff knocked on the door, called, "Manager Komura, a gentleman wishes to see you, and wants you to open the vault door."
Aozawa didn't speak, wanting to see if the ability was effective.
The quickening footsteps approached, the door swiftly opened, the manager, with a flabby face, sprinted briefly from desk to door, causing him to sweat as he wiped it with a tissue, saying, "Please come with me, sir." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
The ability works!
Allowing anything truly enables him to accomplish whatever he sets out to do.
Unlike hypnosis, allowing anything feels more like gamifying the world, from staff to manager, their minds were normal, reasoning was normal, even verbal exchanges remained normal.
Yet they accepted Aozawa's every action as commonplace.
Manager Komura led Aozawa to the bank vault, even kindly offering a travel bag for money and gold bars, as if hosting a top-tier VIP client.
Aozawa packed gold bars and cash into this travel bag.
Manager Komura assisted in carrying it, smiling warmly, asking, "Do you require anything else?"
"No need."
Aozawa picked up the travel bag, heading towards the bank exit.
Manager Komura bowed and nodded, saying, "Sir, take care."
Leaving the bank, Aozawa turned to the adjacent block, deactivating allowing anything, curious about their reactions.
