Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 787 - 785: Shouko’s Unknowable Love

Finally, it's over.

Jack wiped the sweat from his forehead.

As an observer, he didn't feel excited at all, unlike ordinary people. He understood what would happen once Emperor Qin Shi Huang obtained the Holy Grail.

He was uneasy the entire time, at one point thinking Hojo Shouko might lose. Fortunately, Hojo Shouko ultimately obtained the Holy Grail that can fulfill all wishes.

Thinking of the final scene, Jack couldn't help but sigh inwardly; the Heavenly Lock is truly a terrifying Noble Phantasm.

Such a situation could still be overturned.

A soft sound came from outside the window, several Heavenly Locks wrapped around Hojo Shouko as she slipped into the room from the window.

She didn't head to the kitchen to continue making her dinner but landed on the ground, holding the Holy Grail that could fulfill all wishes.

Jack's breath became heavy as he looked at the Holy Grail crafted entirely of gold and asked, "Miss Hojo, what wish did you make?"

"No rush, I want to return to Japan first and think it over slowly."

Hojo Shouko shook her head.

Jack sighed inwardly.

If she had chosen to lie, saying she had already made a wish, even without revealing what the wish was, Jack could have reported that to his superiors.

But Hojo Shouko simply said she hadn't wished yet.

So Jack couldn't report to his superiors that Hojo Shouko made a wish, otherwise, when Hojo Shouko's wish causes a world-shaking impact, he certainly wouldn't escape the responsibility.

"Okay, I'll arrange a special flight for you back to Japan."

Jack turned and walked outside, calling Director John of the CIA.

"What wish did she make?"

A woman's anxious voice came from the phone.

Jack immediately realized who it was and said respectfully, "Madam President, Miss Hojo hasn't made a wish yet. She said she wants to return to Japan to think carefully about what wish to make."

"What else is there to think about?

You must find a way to guide her to make a wish concerning the world. It would be best to make spiritual energy revive!"

"Alright, I'll find a way."

Jack showed a bitter smile, feeling no confidence in his words.

What way could he think of?

Jack hung up the call with the President and called Morimoto Chiyoda.

He was clear that, at this moment, no matter how carefree the other party was, she couldn't possibly continue sleeping.

Beep~

The phone was connected, and a soft voice floated from the other end, "Director, what's the matter in the middle of the night?"

"Hojo hasn't made a wish and said she will return to Japan to think carefully. The higher-ups want me to guide Hojo Shouko to make a wish about spiritual energy revival. How should I guide her?"

Hearing Jack's question, Morimoto Chiyoda leaned back, her purple nightgown failing to cover her long white legs, overlapped, with her foot gently swaying.

She was also a bit worried that Hojo Shouko might be hesitating about making a wish to monopolize Aozawa.

Thinking of that obedient appearance, Morimoto Chiyoda said, "You can try saying that the world's situation is very dangerous, and ordinary people don't have any assurance of defense.

If it could be like in novels, with spiritual energy revival, everyone would have the chance to gain the extraordinary. How great would that be?"

"Let's go with that."

Jack decided to find an opportunity on the plane to mention this and see if it might have an effect.

...

October 6th, Friday.

The bright sunshine spilled onto the streets as Aozawa walked towards the school. At the school gate, he heard students discussing the battle last night in London.

Many students, even though yawning and sporting dark circles, were eager to share their excitement.

Listening to their discussions, Aozawa's face revealed a slight smile, a sense of fulfillment akin to a director discovering that his work not only achieved great sales but also received unanimously good reviews from the audience.

He also watched the battle that took place in London last night, although unlike those students, he watched from close range.

Honestly, he initially planned to split the Holy Grail War over several days, but because he didn't impose much character restriction on the roles, everything played out according to their established personalities, which led to the Holy Grail War being shorter than imagined.

Besides, external forces also gave a push.

Aozawa was well aware that Morimoto Chiyoda hardly slept last night.

Even Chiyoda, who usually excels at slacking off, chose to work overtime, not to mention everyone else.

But as long as the result is good, that's what matters.

He stepped into the campus, walked towards the club building, and was drawn by Natsuka Yanagimachi's voice near the entrance, "Aozawa-senpai, come over here."

Her voice was low, and she hid in a corner, beckoning him, resembling a woman in a shady profession soliciting customers.

Aozawa didn't continue towards the club building, but went up to her and asked, "Why are you being so mysterious?"

"Something so big happened last night. Don't you know?"

Natsuka Yanagimachi's eyes widened, looking incredulous.

Aozawa rolled his eyes and said, "Of course I know, Shouko obtained the Holy Grail."

"Heh, as long as you know. Soon, I'll show you what the Holy Grail that can fulfill all wishes is.

Come with me."

With that, Natsuka Yanagimachi turned towards the Guzheng Club window. She initially wanted to shout loudly but quickly realized and whispered, "Shouko, I've brought Aozawa-senpai."

Her tone made it seem like a spy secret meeting.

Aozawa chuckled.

Hojo Shouko stepped forward and warmly said, "Aozawa-senpai, good morning."

Aozawa nodded, glancing around the club activity room, noticing Hojo Tetsuji was there too.

On the table in the activity room, lay the Holy Grail crafted by Sky-reaching Fabrication, filled with golden liquid.

It looked like liquid but was actually light and shadow, a type that can never be poured out.

"Shouko, what wish did you make?"

"I don't know what wish to make, so I wanted to hear everyone's opinions."

Hojo Shouko shook her head. She didn't hand the Holy Grail directly to Aozawa, but instead wanted to use this subtle way to fulfill Aozawa's wish.

After all, giving the Holy Grail directly to Aozawa might cause inconvenience to the senpai.

She wanted to do it as naturally as possible.

Natsuka Yanagimachi exclaimed excitedly, "Aozawa-senpai, are you very excited right now?

The words we say might actually become reality!"

"Then what wish do you want to make?"

The wish Aozawa wanted to fulfill didn't require the Holy Grail. He had the ability to make the young lady and class president get along harmoniously with just one sentence, but he never chose to use it.

If he did use it, the consequences would not be better but disastrously incomparable.

It would mean he would become utterly isolated.

Natsuka Yanagimachi was a bit troubled by his question. It's not that she didn't have wishes, it's just that she had so many she couldn't count them, that she didn't know what to say.

She wished for an endless supply of snacks, to eat without gaining weight, to have a Noble Phantasm, to experience a romance...

What should she really wish for?

Natsuka Yanagimachi's brain went into a crash state.

Hojo Shouko took hold of Natsuka Yanagimachi's shoulder, moving her from outside to inside the room.

Natsuka Yanagimachi was still in a dilemma. After thinking for a long time, she decided she should rise above low pleasures and clapped her hands, saying, "Why not eliminate industrial pollution from the world?

If the world's environment gets better, it would be greatly beneficial to people!"

"You're actually into environmental protection?!"

Aozawa said in surprise, "I thought you would wish for a Noble Phantasm for yourself."

"Don't underestimate people. I also care for the world."

"Is that the truth?"

"...Alright, I feel that getting a Noble Phantasm would mean fighting, which is dangerous."

Natsuka Yanagimachi feared that obtaining a Noble Phantasm would strip her of the protective color of being an ordinary person.

In this battle, Dio only protected ordinary people, and the Treasure Users and those targeted by the dead were not on the protected list.

I heard David and Charles are in the ICU, barely surviving.

The four who were targeted by the dead died instantly.

Natsuka Yanagimachi felt that world was too dangerous, it was better to stay an ordinary person who just cheers from the sidelines.

"Hehe."

Aozawa chuckled, intercepting Natsuka Yanagimachi's little fist before it hit his chest, "I think Natsuka's wish is a good one."

"I agree too."

Hojo Tetsuji planned to marry Little Sayuri in Paris after graduating.

But he heard on the news that barely any fish could survive in the Seine River, and even swimming there became a concern for whether athletes can come out alive.

He didn't want to visit Paris in the future and not see the clear Seine River.

Seeing that the three of them all wanted this wish to come true, Hojo Shouko lifted the Holy Grail, "Let all the pollution caused by industrialization in various countries be eliminated."

"As you wish."

A flash of golden light, and the liquid in the Holy Grail disappeared, leaving an empty cup.

Natsuka Yanagimachi curiously leaned forward, "Did the wish just come true?"

"It should have come true."

Hojo Shouko wasn't entirely sure either.

Aozawa took out his phone, "Let's open TikTok and search tourist spots, someone must have posted videos of the changes."

"That's right!"

Natsuka Yanagimachi quickly searched, eager to see the post-industrial pollution-free landscapes.

... 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"To make the world a better place."

In the Port District, inside an intelligence office building, Morimoto Chiyoda sat in a boss chair, a hint of emotion on her delicate, oval face.

The worries she had were unfounded; the other party was truly an inside-and-out well-behaved girl.

She didn't even choose to give the Holy Grail to Aozawa, opting instead for this subtle method.

Or perhaps, does she truly like Aozawa?

Even Morimoto Chiyoda couldn't grasp Hojo Shouko's feelings at that moment. Does she have feelings for Aozawa?

Or does she simply see him as a senpai, being a naturally desireless girl?

If the latter, Morimoto Chiyoda could only give a thumbs-up with no other thoughts.

If the former, it made Morimoto Chiyoda feel a little heartache.

This love is too hidden.

Morimoto Chiyoda pondered, deciding to use someone to test the waters.

She picked up her phone and sent a message to the young lady, "Shouko wished to rid the world of industrial pollution. What do you think about this?"

The message soon showed as read.

Phoenix Academy Maggie replied, "It's a good wish."

"Yes, if you got the Holy Grail, what wish would you make?"

Seeing the message from Morimoto Chiyoda, Phoenix Academy Maggie fell into silence.

If she got the Holy Grail, could she, like Hojo Shouko, make a wish not driven by personal desire?

"I don't know."

Phoenix Academy Maggie replied, feeling a desire to meet and talk with Hojo Shouko.
