Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 645 - 643: Chitose Expands Her Power with Tears

Port District, Intelligence Section Headquarters, inside the office belonging to the Director, a tall beauty with black hair sat in the chair.

She crossed her legs, her black stockings encasing her thighs pressing against each other, with a pair of knee-high boots at her feet.

Morimoto Chiyoda leaned on the chair, receiving a report from Okayama Buji on her phone, while short videos played on YouTube on the computer screen in front of her.

These short videos were about Kawaguchi Lake, as well as Lake Yamanaka, Xihu Lake, Lake Motosu, and Lake Shoji.

She had watched the related videos of the Fuji Five Lakes and had basically determined that they were inextricably linked with Dio.

The events at the Armored Research Institute were all attributed to Dio.

The deceased colonel once said he personally saw the Armored Research Institute floating in the air.

But the matters reported over the phone had nothing to do with Mount Fuji.

After all, just verifying Dio's actions was already a difficult task.

Wanting to stop them was undoubtedly as hard as reaching for the stars.

She was currently tracing the whereabouts of the KGB, and Okayama Buji was gradually searching suspect areas in line with the search perimeter established in the morning, monitoring suspicious individuals, but no anomalies had been found yet.

"Do not let your guard down."

Morimoto Chiyoda believed that under the timely blockade by the CIA, the other party definitely hadn't left Tokyo.

Now it's a matter of who has more patience.

The desk phone suddenly rang, and Morimoto Chiyoda let out a breath, saying, "No more talking, I have other matters."

"Okay."

Okayama Buji responded.

Morimoto Chiyoda hung up and answered the desk phone.

"Hello, Minister Morimoto, this is Prime Minister's Aide Ueoka. The Prime Minister has an urgent matter and hopes you will go to Lian Cui Nan at the Imperial Palace immediately.

Please enter through the Sakashita Gate, and I'll arrange someone to receive you."

"No problem."

Morimoto Chiyoda looked at the screen before her, sighing that they really didn't allow any time for rest.

She could only use the old trick of turning break time into work time.

It's necessary to leave work early today.

...

Imperial Palace, Sakashita Gate.

Outside, there was a wide road paved with small stones.

Morimoto Chiyoda passed through the guard post at the outer gate, drove into the Imperial Palace Outer Garden, and parked her car at the Sakashita Gate's parking lot.

She braved the bright autumn sunshine, walked along the long stony road to the Sakashita Gate, where the soldiers verified her identity once again before opening the gate to let her through.

There was an ugly Toyota Century behind the gate.

According to Morimoto Chiyoda's aesthetic sense, she couldn't see what was attractive about this car.

Time was progressing, but the aesthetic of the Toyota Century hadn't changed.

She got in and sat in the back seat.

The seat was quite comfortable.

Morimoto Chiyoda rolled down the window and gazed at the scenery outside.

It was her first time entering the Imperial Palace.

Due to the special nature of her work, it was only now that she came to the Imperial Palace after Kochou moved in.

She scanned the surrounding scenery and could only say that it indeed was the place where the Emperor once lived.

The vast area needs no mention, excessively large; the scenery exquisite, making one want to live here after retirement.

At Lian Cui, Ueoka, dressed in traditional clothing, greeted her respectfully and ushered her towards Lian Cui Nan.

The sliding door wasn't closed, and loud voices came from inside.

"Forgive my limited abilities, I cannot undertake the leading role in the Takamagahara Plan; handling matters at the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare is enough to keep me busy."

The voice was full of energy, and a righteous face appeared in Morimoto Chiyoda's mind.

Takeda Eijiro.

Morimoto Chiyoda's eyes narrowed slightly, guessing the reason the Prime Minister had summoned her.

Ueoka approached, speaking, "Prime Minister, Minister Morimoto has arrived."

"Please let her in."

Morimoto Chiyoda stepped forward, the floor of the room was laid with light green tatami.

Takeda Eijiro stood in front of a low table.

Sitting on ivory-colored single sofas were the leaders of the five major consortia.

With the death of Iwasaki Yizo, the management of the Mitsubishi Group naturally fell to Iwasaki Muneta.

As the Director of Intelligence, Morimoto Chiyoda naturally had a grasp of the relevant intelligence.

He was a man full of ambition in his youth, realizing his incompetence in middle age, he chose to work honestly.

Kochou's proposal was rejected, yet she showed no anger, smiling as she said, "Takeda, since you say so, then handle the matters at the Ministry of Health and Welfare adequately."

"Yes, Prime Minister."

Takeda Eijiro refused to lead the Takamagahara Plan, not because of a lack of ability, but because he didn't want Kochou to create the impression of a dictator.

After all, to outsiders, he was seen as someone promoted by Kochou, a minister of Kochou's faction.

If he touched too many powers beyond his role, it could create unnecessary misunderstandings with others.

Therefore, Takeda Eijiro had to refuse, not allowing himself to become the first vulnerable point in Kochou's monster department creation.

He turned and walked towards the door, casting a look full of encouragement at the Minister of State.

Among the cabinet ministers, Takeda Eijiro greatly appreciates Morimoto Chiyo.

Her ability is flawless, and she doesn't have the bad habits of other ministers.

Most importantly, within the cabinet, she doesn't belong to the Prime Minister Faction. The greater her power, the more she can limit the Prime Minister's power to some extent.

...

Encouraged by Takeda Eijiro's gaze, Morimoto Chiyo gave a bitter smile in her heart.

She truly doesn't want her power to continue expanding.

This group of people continues their struggles, yet they keep stuffing power into her hands. What is this?

If this continues, wouldn't she become the Prime Minister of this country in the future?

The department led by Morimoto Chiyo now can be rightfully called the monster department.

Everything is up to Dio, so the special team for Dio can handle anything.

Fortunately, due to her liking to chill out, she doesn't randomly interfere with other departments. She just hovers over the Intelligence Section at the Metropolitan Police Department and CIA.

She stepped forward.

Kochou eagerly waved and said, "Morimoto, sit here. What kind of tea would you like to drink?"

"No need, I'll just have some snow pears."

Morimoto Chiyo shook her head, picked up a jade toothpick, and pierced a snow pear from the plate, putting it in her mouth.

She didn't actively ask why the other party was looking for her.

Kochou wasn't at all annoyed by this gesture, smiling at her, as if observing a close friend, "You should be aware of Mr. Iwasaki's situation.

Right now, the Takamagahara Plan lacks a leader. I hope you can take that position."

"Aside from me, Japan should have many outstanding people who can take that role."

Sanjushi Tera wanted to persuade.

Kochou interjected, "You're right, there are plenty of people who could take it. But if they lead the plan, I'm afraid it won't change the fact that they're using humans for experimentation.

Such actions improve efficiency, but don't you think human life should be above all?

Many experiments can be done with white mice, rather than necessarily using humans. It's okay if the plan progresses slower."

Morimoto Chiyo found herself unable to refuse.

Regarding the Takamagahara Plan, it used to be managed by the Intelligence Section. Since she took office, Jack passed it to the Technology Section.

As the Director of Intelligence, she mainly focused on matters related to the Different World.

If it wasn't for the destruction of the Armored Research Institute this time, Morimoto Chiyo wouldn't have known that the other party had developed to the extent of using humans for scientific experiments.

When she accompanied Jack, they were still using dogs.

Will they use it for other experiments in the future?

Thinking of this, she had no choice but to accept the fact that her power would continue to expand, "Alright, I will certainly live up to the Prime Minister's expectations and prioritize humanity."

Kochou smiled and said, "With you in charge, I'm at ease. Now, let's talk about the matter concerning Mount Fuji."

"I'm not very clear about that issue."

Morimoto Chiyo found the taste of snow pears on the table quite good, and she picked up a piece of cantaloupe, "I learned about it through video."

Kochou curiously asked, "I heard that Dio's altar was originally taken by the Shadow Emperor. How did Dio take it back?"

Morimoto Chiyo thought for a moment, feeling that such information would sooner or later be known by Kochou, so there was no need to hide it, and she truthfully said: "According to CIA's information, it seems when the Armored Research Institute was destroyed, the experimental body and some humans used for research inside.

They were delivered by the Shadow Emperor to the front of the National Palace in Mexico, arranged by President Nide."

"I see, is Dio collaborating with the Shadow Emperor?"

Kochou came to such a conclusion, and then thought further, "Or perhaps, the Shadow Emperor has succumbed to Dio."

"I think the latter is unlikely. How could the Shadow Emperor, a brutal and vicious Angel Envoy, willingly submit to Dio? The two parties probably reached certain concessions in Paradise."

Morimoto Chiyo expressed her opinion, silently adding in her heart that it also couldn't be ruled out that Dio used Aze Red Stone to exchange for the altar.

But this matter within the CIA is highly confidential, and she couldn't casually disclose it to Kochou.

Kochou nodded and asked, "Have you got any results regarding the incidents in Shinjuku?"

Morimoto Chiyo shrugged, "We haven't found the whereabouts of the KGB yet. We have approximately locked onto possible KGB informants and are under surveillance.

Bruno is a very cunning guy, and to catch him requires patience."

At this moment, the voice of the Prime Minister's Aide came from outside the door, "Prime Minister, some executors of the Takamagahara Plan are waiting in the Imperial Household Agency."

"Alright."

Kochou nodded and then smiled, "Morimoto, you can go to Imperial Household Agency to meet them and familiarize yourself with the related work."

"Alright."

Morimoto Chiyo stood up and left Lian Cui Nan with the Prime Minister's Aide. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Kochou glanced at the five people on the sofa, smiled, and said, "I've said all that needs to be said. I won't delay your work."

"Yes, Prime Minister."

Sanjushi Tera felt a bitterness in his heart as he realized he had been outmaneuvered by Kochou.

It seemed this person also wanted Morimoto to take over this incident and referenced Takeda only to test the attitude of the five major consortiums.

Clearly, Kochou has already gauged the attitude of the Sanwa Consortium. The next step, if he's not mistaken, is to set an example to warn others.

Damn it, why did Old Man Iwasaki have to die so soon?

Sanjushi Tera grumbled internally.

Sumitomo Taisei, Mitsui Takashi, Iwasaki Yizo—all these cornerstone figures of the original six major consortiums were wiped out by Dio.

Now, domestically, everything is a mess, and the power dynamics are facing the risk of being uprooted from top to bottom.

Ugh, Sanjushi Tera felt pessimistic about the future.
