"Long time no see, Nakajima-kun." Kuen looked at Nakajima Atsushi and the girl beside him and asked, "Is this person... also a colleague from the detective agency?"
"Izumi Jinghua." The girl gave her name, but her eyes were still fixed on Jiuyuan, as if she was observing this "son of the Goddess of the Underworld" with all her strength.
Judging from his appearance alone, he looks like an ordinary male high school student from every angle (except for his good-looking face). He is not even physically strong and is definitely on the thin side among his peers of the same sex.
…It was this kind of person who defeated the octopus monster that so many others were helpless against.
"I see." Jiuyuan briefly introduced himself, but the girl's curiosity about him remained strong. He would not continue to talk about this topic, but instead looked at the food in the girl's hand.
"Are you here to buy crepes too?" Kuen shook the unfinished food in his hand. Mimiko and Nanako also came over and looked at the two people from the detective agency with the same curiosity.
"Yeah." Nakajima Atsushi nodded.
Who are these two...?
Judging from their uniforms, they seem to be from the same school.
For some reason, the words "Shura Field" suddenly popped up in Nakajima Atsushi's mind - No, no, no, classmate Yomizukawa would never do such a thing, right? !
Nanako looked sideways at the two people in front of her: "Master Jiuyuan, who is this person?"
"Ah... maybe you'll meet each other for work in the future, so why not say hello now?" Kuen took the initiative to introduce them. "These two are members of the Armed Detective Agency. Mr. Sakaguchi should have told you about the Detective Agency, right?"
The girls nodded: "I see."
"I'm Nanako." "Mimiko, please give me your guidance."
"Please advise me."
After the friendly talks, Nakajima Atsushi also knew the identities of the two girls. Of course, some important matters and matters involving moral issues must be avoided. Who would take the initiative to step on landmines in conversation?
"Um...is this true? That is, your identity is..." Nakajima Atsushi changed the way he addressed people unconsciously.
Jiuyuan made an expression of "I understand" and nodded.
Nakajima Atsushi: “!!” Admitted!
"But shouldn't this kind of thing be kept secret..." he thought quickly, "So many people already know about it."
"Why do you have to keep it a secret?" Jiuyuan asked him, "It's not something to be ashamed of."
Nakajima Atsushi hesitated: "How should I put it... I just feel like I should be more serious... I don't know how to put it."
Although everyone is exclaiming and sighing, and there will definitely be a lot of explosive news coming out tomorrow, the person involved does not seem to take it seriously at all. Is it because the other party is not a human being?
He had unconsciously divided Jiuyuan into other races.
"Come to think of it—" Jiuyuan ate the last bit of crepe in his hand, looked into the distance, and then said: "This time the fish monster incident...does the detective agency know anything about it that you can reveal?"
Nakajima Atsushi shook his head in dismay, "I haven't heard of any relevant news..."
It happened so suddenly.
Kuen: "Recently, nothing much has happened... Speaking of which, Nakajima-kun really shined in the battle with the group a while ago. It was even reported in the newspapers."
Mimiko looked over quickly and suddenly realized, "No wonder I felt like I've seen this face somewhere before."
In the past few days, he has received similar responses frequently, but Nakajima Atsushi is still a little embarrassed: "No... Actually, it's all thanks to everyone's help. I didn't do anything."
"Don't underestimate yourself," Jiuyuan said. "Being able to defeat Mr. Fitzgerald will also give the detective agency a greater reputation, right?"
Noticing the way Kuen spoke, Nakajima Atsushi asked curiously, "... Mr. Yomizukawa, do you know the leader of the group?"
"I did a business deal with him." Jiuyuan smiled, "He's a very generous customer."
Nakajima Atsushi: “…I see.”
Of course, Kuen knew what Fitzgerald's ability was, but since Scott already had a puppet body that he made, Fitzgerald would probably be more reserved when using his ability, right? Even so, combining the information that Yukio bought with the information that Hanako collected, it can be concluded that Fitzgerald suffered a lot of losses.
Especially the beluga whale fall...
His mind quickly became active - what was Fitzgerald doing now? Was there anything he could do to trade?
And is there any other inside story?
However, the primary problem was the sudden appearance of the sea monster. When he was cleaning up the monster, he clearly felt a polluted energy.
If the pollution is more serious than he imagined, this kind of mutation may occur again.
Maybe it will really become a big problem that the Special Forces can't solve.
He doesn't mind being a good guy... oh no, a bitch.
But before that, the price has to be raised again.
"Well, we have to go back first, as we have homework to do today." Jiuyuan used the standard excuse of a high school student as his exit speech and said goodbye to them.
Even after they had left for a long time, Izumi Jinghua was still staring in the direction of that figure.
Even when Nakajima Atsushi called her to leave, she still stared in that direction.
"What's wrong, Kagami-chan?"
Izumi Kyoka slowly retracted her gaze, walked beside Nakajima Atsushi, and said slowly: "...those two girls must have killed people too."
And, there shouldn’t be less.
…
…
After saying goodbye to the two people from the detective agency, Jiuyuan said that the weekly comic he wanted to read was on sale today, so he went to the bookstore with the two sisters. Finally, after he sent the two sisters home, he slowly went home.
After arriving home, he first discussed with Hanako the source of the contamination.
The language of Zhan is too broad and unclear, so we can only get some vague revelations.
Jiuyuan asked the system: "...Can't I take the food myself?"
The system looked at him with difficulty: [You are not very good at this...]
Jiuyuan: "...Okay."
The keywords that were found were scattered, pointing to: Armed Detective Agency, Group, and Fitzgerald.
Jiuyuan thought about it and thought that it could only be related to the battle between the detective agency and the group.
The detective agency won't run away anyway, so should he find a chance to look for Fitzgerald?
It would be nice if he could do some business at the same time. He still liked those novel cursed gadgets that Fitzgerald had sent him before. He could show them off even if he shared them in the hobby group with Gui Deng and Xiao Zhong.
Another thing is that the mysterious power of pollution made him feel a little "appetite".
But I'm not sure if I can digest it, not to mention that I'm still a human body and it's not easy to ruin it - to put it simply, I don't dare to go home if I ruin my clothes outside for fear of being scolded by my mother, "Why did you make yourself so dirty?"
"So, we still have to find Fitzgerald first and see if he knows what the power of the pollution source is."
Having said that, Jiuyuan started to change his clothes, planning to go out again.
The system's eyes (if any) popped out of its sockets in shock.
[System: Why are you going out so late? Is that man named Fitzgerald very important to you?]
Jiuyuan: "What does it have to do with him?"
【System: ...Oh, I thought you were going to find him now.】
"Of course not." He shook his head and walked to the entrance. "I'm going to increase the bet."
【System: Add more? What more?】
"The Special Powers Department." Jiuyuan said as a matter of course.
"If nothing unexpected happens, my news will be seen by more people tomorrow." He smiled lightly at first.
Then he said, "The Special Agents will most likely come to me. I am sure it is because they know that they cannot solve the big problem of seawater pollution this time."
[System: Will they try to ask you to help? ]
"Well..." Jiuyuan pushed open the door and snorted in the evening breeze, "But don't forget that there were some unpleasant things that happened between us."
"Although this part of my identity will be known to many people after what happened today, it is not enough."
"Not enough impact."
[System: ...Isn't it enough that you have called Izanami-sama to help? ]
He didn't dare to imagine how Lady Izanami would feel if she heard this.
Jiuyuan shrugged.
"This can only temporarily remind those people that I have an extraordinary identity, but it is far from enough."
“So I need to build momentum again.”
That way, you can ask for a sky-high price.
The system seems to understand:
【So what are you going to do? 】
Jiuyuan uttered two words——
"shrine."
