Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 587 - 585: Aozawa Is Very Busy

The sunlight gradually became scorching, accompanied by the sound of cicadas from the trees in the courtyard. Takahashi Saeko patrolled around the mansion's exterior walls from time to time, dutifully guarding like a loyal guard at the Emperor's Sleeping Palace.

But her purpose was to prevent Aozawa from sneaking out from anywhere.

Takahashi Saeko stood in the shade, gently exhaling a breath; the weather was really hot!

She twisted the cap off the bottled water in her hand and gulped down half the bottle, then screwed the cap back on, hearing sounds in the wind different from the cicadas.

Takahashi Saeko's expression immediately turned serious as she took out a makeup mirror from her bag, secretly observed the entrance, and saw Aozawa stepping out of the house.

Under his right arm was a bag; was it filled with some secret files?

Takahashi Saeko suddenly let her imagination run wild and developed a suspicion about Aozawa choosing to go out with a bag.

She continued to utilize her excellent stalking skills, discreetly following Aozawa all the way to Ayase Station.

Takahashi Saeko also boarded the same train compartment but took a different seat to avoid drawing Aozawa's attention.

Where was he going?

She appeared to be playing with her phone, but her heart was focused on Aozawa, hoping to discover something, yet hoping not to discover anything.

Takahashi Saeko couldn't imagine how saddened Iroha would be knowing Aozawa approached her with a certain motive.

Kaoru could likely take advantage of the situation, changing her views on choosing a mate.

Takahashi Saeko tailed Aozawa to Ikebukuro.

She mingled among the crowd, constantly using her peripheral vision to monitor Aozawa's movements upon leaving the station.

Aozawa's objective was clear, quite aligning with someone agreeing to meet.

Takahashi Saeko grew increasingly suspicious of the secretive intentions, following him to the Different World Red Light Street.

Decorations shaped like orc skulls hung at the shop entrance, gleaming brightly in the sunshine.

Street vendors bustled among the crowd, enthusiastically pitching items imbued with magical power to passing people.

The prices of these items weren't very expensive, tempting people to try their luck, like a lottery.

Most people knew they wouldn't win but given the low prices, some couldn't resist spending a bit on hope.

But Takahashi Saeko wasn't one of those people; she outright ignored everyone who tried to talk to her, as she followed Aozawa into a Monster Girl Cafe.

...

Ding-ling～

Close to lunchtime, the business at the Monster Girl Cafe was visibly less than at the restaurants, with seats inside not fully occupied.

Waitresses dressed in various outfits went back and forth, their maid uniforms weren't of a uniform style but customized according to different skins, showcasing the beauty of the skins to the fullest.

The boss was knowledgeable, understanding that the skins were the essence of the Monster Girl Cafe.

Arakawa Reina saw Aozawa enter the shop and quickly abandoned the group of new seniors to hurriedly step forward.

Unlike Maid Cafes, the Monster Girl Cafe didn't require guests to specify; it belonged to those who had free time and served guests they noticed.

Since such actions didn't count towards performance and there were no additional bonuses, during leisure times, she was willing to actively step forward, not causing any complaints from her seniors.

"I remember that young man came yesterday too."

"Not only yesterday, the day before and the day before that too, every time Nashi attended to him."

"Eh～ there's a story between the two."

Some senior members softly exchanged, their tone carrying a hint of envy.

Unbeknownst to them, they had already become the adults who lamented youth behind young girls.

Arakawa Reina approached, a bright smile showing beneath the skin, "Mr. Aozawa, good afternoon, what would you like to eat today?

It's on me, consider it the reward for Minister Morimoto's autograph."

"Class leader, then I won't be polite, I'll have a cup of latte coffee, blueberry cake, a deluxe version of meat sandwich, Black Forest cake, and a cream puff."

Aozawa ordered all at once, sitting in his seat.

No one was home to make lunch, and with money in his pocket, he naturally preferred to enjoy lunch at Arakawa Reina's workplace.

He also took out some textbooks to review, planning to combine lunch and study time, spending a fulfilling noon both physically and mentally.

No doubt, someone secretly monitoring him would be disappointed.

Aozawa had a habit of liking to use Catalyst Induction to observe surroundings while riding the train, to kill boredom.

Thus, he had long noticed Takahashi Saeko following behind, yet couldn't be bothered to unmask her.

Aozawa flipped the book open, planning the afternoon schedule, trying to assess how much the Nightmare Party had been nerfed.

Following that is Allowing Anything, a skill great for playing battle royale.

For example, he could hold a knife at midnight, like a vengeful ghost in a horror movie.

First, he allowed the protagonist to run eight hundred meters away, letting them desperately scream for help to no avail, finally reaching a crowded place.

As the protagonist believed they escaped, relaxing completely, they unexpectedly turned to see him grinning under the neon lights, engaging in an "open-hearted" exchange.

The scene at that moment would certainly be filled with artistic flair.

However, he wanted to play such a scene at night.

As for the location, Aozawa had already chosen it: nighttime in Los Angeles.

He thought while casually flipping through his book.

This scene fell into Takahashi Saeko's eyes, making her want to retort, Aozawa was evidently using studying as an excuse to get close to the class leader.

In the morning Shouko, at noon the class leader, even on days without dates with Iroha, Phoenix Academy, or Morimoto, Aozawa's schedule remained full.

Takahashi Saeko really wanted to capture this moment and send it to Iroha.

She thought about it, and realized the person wouldn't mind; they've already accepted Morimoto Chiyoda, plus Shouko and the class leader are not impossible.

Not to mention Phoenix Academy Maggie.

Takahashi Saeko considered the "ship" under Aozawa and felt overwhelmed.

She truly didn't know how Iroha was willing to agree to such a situation.

Takahashi Saeko sighed, opened the menu in front of her, randomly ordered some desserts and coffee, prepared to stay until Aozawa left.

Having followed him this far, she wouldn't leave until she'd spent the entire day with Aozawa.

As for tomorrow, Takahashi Saeko decided not to continue tailing Aozawa.

For now, she had an eighty percent probability that she could exclude Aozawa having impure intentions toward Iroha.

No, speaking of intentions, he definitely had one, which was craving Iroha physically.

Takahashi Saeko thought about those things, feeling a bit angry, yet never considering how many men she herself had dismissed.

Regardless of gender, the dual standards were a common habit among many people.

She was no exception.

...

"The medical report shows the boss's body had no abnormalities and no reactions to drugs. He feels fear and disgust toward other corpse photos, yet remains calm and unreactive upon seeing Yamamoto Jouichi's body.

The words flowed non-stop from the other end of the phone. Morimoto Chiyoda leaned back in her chair, crossed her legs, and said, "You're saying this incident is connected to the Different World, and on Monday...;

Is Dio secretly causing trouble?"

"Unclear at the moment, the data we've found shows Yamamoto Jouichi was a recluse in Kawagoe city, Saitama county.

His father and another single mother formed a new family. He has a high school sister without blood relation who's now missing.

The mutation possibly relates to her, and I've sent people to search for the missing sister."

Okayama Buji truthfully relayed the information he'd gathered. Morimoto Chiyoda tapped her index finger on the table and spoke, "Alright, continue to follow up on this matter, be careful!"

"Okay, have you found any information about Slim?"

"It's now known Slim was involved with the deceased Deputy Director Eden, but the details of the plan are unclear to Sylvan; he merely forwarded Eden's emails to Kochou.

He didn't read that email, nor received a reply from Kochou.

There's a high chance that they abandoned cooperation with Deputy Director Eden."

"Morimoto, does Mickey's disappearance, Slim's disappearance, relate to the deputy director's contingency plans?"

"I don't know yet, I'm still investigating. I'll inform you once there's detailed information."

"Okay, I'll hang up now."

"Goodbye."

Morimoto Chiyoda hung up the call, picked up the coffee in front of her, took a sip, and the rich coffee flavor lingered in her mouth.

The desk phone rang again, Morimoto Chiyoda pressed the loudspeaker button, and her assistant's voice came through.

"Director Morimoto, it's time for you to head to Shinjuku Central Building to meet with the three chiefs who arrived today."

Morimoto Chiyoda sighed, "I don't have a moment of downtime, it's really odd considering it's already after work hours."

"The meeting was scheduled to be after hours, at least you can get a meal at the Central Building."

Morimoto Chiyoda complained, "You're planning it well, next time, don't arrange it like this; schedule meals during working hours."

The assistant on the other end thought for a moment before speaking, "Should we adjust the timing?

Move the work time to now, and reschedule rest time later, so then you'd be meeting Chief Jack during work hours."

"Well done, Alex, I indeed didn't misjudge you."

Morimoto Chiyoda felt satisfied with Alex, this clever flatterer, it's no wonder some wise rulers preferred having sycophants around.

If used well, even sycophants have their uses.

"You also join me."

"Yes."

Alex felt somewhat excited, being brought along with the Director of Intelligence to such a high-level meeting. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

In a sense, it represented that his status as an assistant was slightly higher than others.

Don't underestimate that little bit, in the workplace, that difference could mean worlds apart.

Morimoto Chiyoda hung up his call, stood up, and walked outside, recalling the three photos and documents Jack had given in advance.

The Chief of Operations from the Russia branch, the Chief of Administration transferred from the CIA Headquarters in the United States.

The Chief of Technology was moved here from London.

All three had voluntarily submitted applications to work here.

Everyone knew Dio resided in Tokyo, the Shadow Emperor was in Mexico, their presence here was clearly looking to gain the upper hand quickly.

Hopefully, they won't stir up any trouble.

Morimoto Chiyoda stepped out of the office, ready to meet the three new colleagues.
