Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 647 - 645: The Eldest Miss Takes the Stage

The religious struggle in Korea is increasingly intense, with street killings becoming commonplace. The Great Commander wishes to use religion to elevate his prestige but underestimates the national religion's allure to other faiths.

The person who was already criticized is now being scolded more harshly.

Voices calling for a holy war resound relentlessly in the Middle East, Africa, South America, India...

Under Kochou's narration, Phoenix Academy Maggie just feels that this world is constantly filled with all kinds of events happening every moment.

Internationally, various significant events occur frequently, while domestically, there's a multitude of matters that need to be addressed.

Issues like population aging, labor shortages, and lack of innovation are indeed old topics but remain unavoidable troubles.

The political situation is equally turbulent.

Phoenix Academy Maggie can only do her best to assist her mother in handling some matters.

Although from the outset, her mother's intention was simply to seize more power.

Yet upon gaining power, at this stage, her mother has not chosen to abuse it but to govern the country better.

Advancing policies to improve the lives of the lower classes, attempting to break the stagnant class solidification.

It's just that the governance period is too short, and the effects of some policies have yet to reveal.

However, within the First Division, the Third Division, and the Sixth Division, they've already moved away from the previous hereditary style of senior officers and shifted to promoting young and talented individuals to general positions, improving the Self-Defense Forces' atmosphere.

Takeda Eijiro from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare is also working to rectify social inequality.

Everything currently is developing in a favorable direction.

Phoenix Academy Maggie feels little pressure.

After finishing today's dinner, she heads to the Imperial Household Agency at the Imperial Palace.

...

Located in the eastern part of the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Household Agency comes under the jurisdiction of the Cabinet Office.

Their main daily task is to make the members of the Imperial Household exceedingly low-profile, preferably without any information leaking out, crafting the image of the Emperor treating every Japanese citizen equally.

No matter if they like eating oranges, apples, or watermelons.

The Emperor and members of the Imperial Household are treated equally without exposing their preferences, shaping them into harmless god-like figures, this is the responsibility of the Imperial Household Agency.

Due to the complete elimination of the Imperial Household members.

The Imperial Household Agency is undoubtedly in turmoil.

They have no idea what role they will have and the threat of layoffs means losing the iron rice bowl passed down from their ancestors for three generations.

Setting aside the agency's affairs, they also don't know what they can do.

Kochou does not immediately lay off the members of the agency but rather lets them idle around doing nothing.

Until today, Kochou decides to transform the agency into a hidden place for the Imperial Court Retainers.

Anyway, the agency's people are already used to keeping a low profile, turning into transparent work mode.

Ninjas need to avoid drawing attention, staying hidden.

In this regard, Kochou believes the agency's people are qualified for the job.

...

A deep blue night sky envelops the Imperial Household Agency, with high-ranking officials such as the Grand Minister of the Imperial Household Agency, Vice Minister, Minister's Secretariat, Archives and Mausolea Department, Administrative Department, all guarding the entrance.

They have already received news from the Prime Minister's Aide, naturally not daring to be negligent.

A black Bentley stops in front, a blond young lady steps out, and everyone bows, "Welcome, young lady, to guide the work of the agency."

Regarding the agency falling under the jurisdiction of Phoenix Academy Maggie, Kochou does not issue an official document, fearing someone might catch leverage.

She just lets the Prime Minister's Aide and the Grand Minister exchange greetings, subtly hinting that Phoenix Academy Maggie will guide all agency work in the future.

Things not following procedures go without criticism.

The agency's people only hope not to be laid off, everything else is agreeable.

Phoenix Academy Maggie scans the officials; their faces are plastered with smiles, full of humility.

She also smiles, casually chatting with them to get acquainted, then, surrounded by them, arrives at a first-floor reception room.

The interior is Western-styled, with tables, chairs, oil paintings, coffee pots, and cups, etc.

Kamei Bunta rises; dressed in a black suit, he doesn't carry a cane, which easily makes one appear old.

He has dyed his hair black, and when he smiles, every wrinkle on his face seems to pleasantly unfold, emanating a benevolent aura, devoid of any grim traces from ninja work.

"Good evening, young lady, I am Kamei Bunta."

Phoenix Academy Maggie nods, then looks at the Grand Minister lightly laughing: "I hear the agency is very capable of keeping secrets."

"Yes, absolutely no one will know about your meeting with Mr. Kamei, we shall take our leave now."

With a face full of smiles, the Grand Minister takes the initiative to lead others out of the reception room and closes the door.

Phoenix Academy Maggie steps forward, sits down, and asks: "How many people are in the Imperial Court Retainers?"

"There are a total of forty-six ninjas, including eight at the Upper Ninja Level, twelve at Middle Ninja Level, and twenty-six at Lower Ninja Level."

Kamei Bunta quickly answers Phoenix Academy Maggie's question and takes out a roster for the Imperial Court Retainers.

Originally, he didn't want to serve Phoenix Academy Kochou, wishing to continue freely running the Shinobu Introduction office, but couldn't resist the abundant benefits Kochou offered.

Ultimately, Kamei Bunta isn't young anymore; he can't oppose benefits.

Phoenix Academy Maggie opened the roster, which recorded the names of ninjas, photos, some family circumstances, and tasks that had been completed.

There were also some failed tasks.

Through this roster, Phoenix Academy Maggie could generally understand the strength of the Imperial Court Retainers.

It must be said that the old man in front of her was a rare talent, able to precisely grasp what information could let her quickly understand the Imperial Court Retainers.

She closed the roster and said, "Now the task that mother has given us is to find a way to turn someone from the Thirty-Four Families into one of us.

Do you have any good ideas?"

Kamei Bunta fell into contemplation. He had some understanding of the Thirty-Four Families; the Sanwa Consortium was also a major family enterprise not inferior to Phoenix Academy Group, and had business dealings with Shinobu Introduction Office.

But to say who could be transformed into one of them, Kamei Bunta really couldn't say.

He thought for a moment and said, "Miss, I don't have any leads yet. I need to first investigate the personalities of the members of the Thirty-Four Families to pinpoint who can be used by us."

Phoenix Academy Maggie nodded and said, "Arrange for someone to do this without being discovered. The Sanjushi Tera is not an easy bunch to deal with.

Additionally, I think the scale of the Imperial Court Retainers is still too small. If you want to increase manpower, do you have any suitable candidates?"

Kamei Bunta thought for a moment and said, "For candidates, I do know a street cleaner in Tokyo. Her real name is Takahashi Saeko, sixteen years old, attending Glorious high school 2nd year class C.

As far as I know, she has a unique intelligence network and maintains close relationships with some people in the underground world.

She even has connections abroad."

Phoenix Academy Maggie showed no change in her expression yet was surprised inside.

Takahashi Saeko?

She did not expect that the hot girl beside Ayatsuki Ayaka had such skills, thinking she was just a rebellious teenager.

Phoenix Academy Maggie thought for a moment and said, "Can you ensure bringing her into the Imperial Court Retainers?"

"Hard to say; she tends toward a free-spirited nature."

"Tell her that during school, we won't take up her time. Outside studying, she will carry out the tasks we assign."

Phoenix Academy Maggie did not believe that Takahashi Saeko, engaged in being a street cleaner, didn't like money.

It can only be said that outside work, Takahashi Saeko also needs time to relax, and school is obviously a place where she unwinds.

The young lady deeply understands this; she too needs school life.

"Alright, I will pay a visit later to test her attitude."

Kamei Bunta nodded.

...

Seven in the evening, in a small park in Adachi Ayase.

The malfunctioning street lamp had given up, no longer flickering, plunging this area into the embrace of darkness.

Aozawa rushed in, crouched, and used his catalyst sensing ability to know there was no one around.

He stepped into a small grove, placed his phone on the ground, and a faint shadow covered the surface.

If there was any message, the shadow soldiers within the shadow would quickly notify Aozawa, allowing him to respond to any messages promptly.

Aozawa used his transformation ability; his hair grew rapidly to his shoulders, his face charming and handsome, with a vivid red vertical mark between his eyebrows.

His clothes transformed into a crane coat, with a light blue base and deep blue collar and cuffs, giving off an ethereal aura.

Xuanxiao.

Previously, when Aozawa played the single-player game "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 4," he was very fond of this antagonist.

Of course, he liked the main characters Yuntianhe and Murong Ziying very much too.

But in terms of looks, naturally, Xuanxiao was more handsome and matched the aura of sword-flying even more.

As for the TV series, it was not worth mentioning; it was too eye-piercing.

Aozawa used his global travel ability, and his body disappeared from there.

If he wanted to fly with a sword, he first needed to have a sword.

...

The British Museum, one of the largest museums in the world.

Here lies the glorious achievements of Britain, not yet the fading Britain, deeply showing the world what the history of robberies to richness entails.

Their looting actions spanned the globe, with treasures, antiques, and many manuscripts of great scientists proving how ruthless the Empire on which the sun never sets was at its height.

At ten in the morning, gentle sunlight spread over the exterior of the British Museum, where a group of tourists communicated with each other while entering inside.

Among them, some were interested in the artifacts, some were just looking around, and many wanted to shoot short videos to gain traffic online.

Li Quangui was one such not-so-popular travel UP master, "Guys, this is the good stuff Britain robbed from us back then. I'll show you around."

He turned the camera toward the English sign at the entrance and then stepped inside without giving any introductions, just filming the exhibits.

Upon reaching the Han Dynasty exhibit, he found a peer wearing an elegant Hanfu. Her appearance and aura made him sigh; she was definitely a big online influencer.

Where was her filming team?

Li Quangui looked around and didn't see anyone, then noticed her raising her hand to the glass.

Pa, the glass of the showcase splintered and crumpled.

"Whoa, amazing!"
