Chapter 67 Job Transfer

night.

Kyoto at night.

Inside Nijo Castle, illuminated by numerous lights.

Crows circled over Nijo Castle, making shrill cries from time to time and never left for a long time.

"The crows keep calling, it's really unlucky~"

Nishiki Chitsugi, who was eating a mung bean popsicle, moved his tongue and spoke sarcastically.

She was wearing a red JK uniform and carrying a brown school bag on her back. From the outside, she looked like an ordinary female high school student with too good looks.

But the SDS logistics personnel wearing protective clothing on the scene did not think this person was ordinary. Instead, they were very respectful. They were even afraid of being caught by this person and given new tasks.

After all, Nishiki Chitsuko's current temporary position is the temporary commander of Nijo Castle maintenance, and he is their current superior.

This person has extremely sharp eyesight and can always find abnormalities that need to be dealt with in the ruins of Nijo Castle.

Once an abnormality is discovered, it will be another round of "archaeological excavation" of digging soil and demolishing walls.

- Don't leave any factors that may lead to mystery in Nijo Castle.

These are the exact words that Tachibana Kirika threw to Nishiki Chitose.

Because Nijo Castle is an ancient castle and was naturally built in the Feng Shui location of Kyoto, Nishiki Chitsuko has been considering the possibility of demolishing the entire Nijo Castle and moving it as a whole to the Abyss War Country.

As for the reconstruction of Nijo Castle, that is the responsibility of the cabinet. What does it have to do with the SDS?

"This has nothing to do with whether it's auspicious or not."

As a partner, Inoue Takina, who was wearing the private school uniform of Toyonosaki, said calmly:

"The crows are obviously surrounding Nijo Castle because the 687 demon blood scattered here attracted them. It's just the animal's instinctive hunting behavior."

In the melee at Nijo Castle, many great monsters were killed or injured.

In addition, Nue summoned the Gate of Hell here, and the remaining breath of hell caused the ground veins of Nijo Castle to be distorted to a certain extent.

It can be said that the current Nijo Castle is an embryonic form of a demon cave that is still in development. Even living here can bring a certain degree of alienation to people.

As for these crows, whether they lick a little remaining blood or get contaminated by the breath of hell, they can gain considerable benefits, so they will naturally gather in large numbers.

"But if they get it, that would be a big problem."

Nishiki Chitsugu glanced at the crows in the sky, then nodded to the staff beside him:

"Senior, you can start."

The worker was covered in protective clothing, even his eyes were covered with goggles-like devices, but more importantly, on his back he had a device similar to a water tank on his back, and in his hand he held a device similar to a flamethrower.

After hearing Nishiki Chitsugu's instructions, the staff raised the flamethrower, aimed it at the crows in the sky, and pressed the button on the instrument in their hand.

A buzzing sound.

The 'water tank' behind me hummed.

Immediately afterwards, an invisible ripple began to vibrate and quickly spread to the flock of crows in the sky.

"Be careful (badi) don't get hit!!"

Accompanied by Nishiki Chitsugu's reminder.

"Caw~Caw..." The noisy screams of the crows lasted only a few seconds and then stopped.

Soon, black crows fell to the ground like raindrops.

Seeing this, Inoue Takina calmly ordered:

"Send five people out and start the cleaning machinery to collect all the crows and send them to the testing agency for testing to make sure there are no abnormalities."

"Yes!"xN

The staff operated a bucket-like cleaning robot and began to collect and clean the fallen crows.

On the other side, Inoue Takina approached Nishiki Chizuka and asked calmly:

"Chizuki, have you considered what the Minister said?"

"Ok?"

Nishiki Chitsuka tilted her head and glanced at Inoue Takina's face. Then she realized something and smiled:

"Takina, are you talking about being the head of the new Kyoto branch?"

"I haven't considered it at all. After all, I've been busy cleaning up Nijo Castle in the past few days."

Inoue Takina was not surprised by Chizuka's answer, so she just reminded him:

"Although Nue's plan was stopped by Minister Luo Shu, the opening of the Gate of Hell still had a negative impact on Kyoto."

"The headquarters hopes to open an operations branch in Kyoto and let a senior person be in charge of it to monitor the changes in Kyoto. Minister Tachibana has suggested this to the headquarters. Are you really not going to consider it?"

"Even if you say so..."

Nishiki Chitsugu bit off the mung bean popsicle in one bite and said as he chewed:

"Isn't there still Angelina-san? I heard that she and her action team recently seemed to be considering retiring from the direct action team and moving to the island country to take over the job of the big sister and become the commander-in-chief of the action department in the island country."

"By then, one of Angelina-san's team members should be the head of the Kyoto branch, right?"

Hearing this, Inoue Takina sighed slightly and said:

"So, Chizuka, did you accept Minister Tachibana's other suggestion and transfer to the Global Special Operations Team of the Secret Management Department?"

At the beginning, Tachibana Kirika gave Nishiki Chitose two options for promotion.

One option is to serve as the branch director in Kyoto area, and the other is to be transferred to the secret management department.

Similarly, the choice that Tachibana Kirika gave to Inoue Takina was the same.

Either serve as the branch manager of the Osaka branch, or transfer to the secret management department.

Similarly, the choices for Mika, Mizuki Nakahara and Kurumi are similar.

The choice that Tachibana Kirika gave to the Tokyo Metropolitan Operations Department branch members was like a responsible superior who gave a favored subordinate a higher status and authority in a reasonable manner.

However.

Nishiki Chitsuka quietly approached Inoue Takina, hooked her neck, and asked in a low voice:

"Takina, didn't the big sister tell you in private that you should take the initiative to transfer to the secret management department?"

"From what Big Sister said, it seems that we will be transferred to Luo Shu's subordinates. Could it be that, Takina, you can't accept Luo Shu as your superior?"

"No, Minister Tachibana did remind me, and I agreed."

Inoue Takina seemed to be relieved, and then said naturally:

"It seems that Qianshu, you have also been transferred to the Secret Management Department?"

"That's natural."

Nishiki Chitsugu complained:

"After all, the big sister may be transferred back to the headquarters in America. In the island department, the one we are most familiar with is Luo Shu, right?"

"Although being a branch director is not a bad idea, I think I may not be suited to command work, so it is better to transfer to the secret management department."

"Besides, this way I can still work with Mika-san and Mizuki. It's like changing my boss and we can continue to be together. Isn't that great~"

"I understand."

Inoue Takina finally relaxed now, as if she had wanted to hear this answer from the beginning.

"After all, Takina is just worried that we'll break up, right?"

Nishiki Chitsuka smiled and patted Takina's shoulder.

"No, that's not the case." Inoue Takina said expressionlessly, changing the subject: "Okay, now hurry up and clean up the surface to provide space for Angelina to clean up the nue."

"Takina is shy~" Nishiki Chitsuka nudged Inoue Takina with her elbow: "As expected, Takina is reluctant to part with me, right?"

"Instead of talking about this, why not check the surrounding area? I'm worried that other organizations are eyeing Nijo Castle."

"Takina, you're trying to change the subject..."

"No, not at all, I'm just talking about business!"

Just when the two were arguing.

Five kilometers away from Nijo Castle.

In a park.

A crow with black feathers slowly floated down, flapped its wings, landed on a slender arm, and made a gurgling sound.

On a park bench, a figure wearing a white sun hat and with the demeanor of a lady from a noble family sat there.

As the crows occasionally clucked, the figure slowly raised its charming face:

"Really? Were all your minions shot down?"

"It seems that the SDS personnel are extremely vigilant."

Chapter 68 Equivalent Exchange

The crow made a strange gurgling sound. Although the sound was awkward, one could clearly hear the grievance in its voice.

At this moment, a hand with pale skin and faintly visible capillaries gently rested on its head and stroked it:

"Good boy~ I know you feel wronged, but please be patient for now. Now is not the time to conflict with SDS."

The woman sitting in the park said this in a gentle tone while raising her face.

She had long black hair and a pale face without a trace of blood, but her eyes were a blood-red color and her lips were painted with seductive purple lipstick.

The most important thing is her pointed ears hidden behind her long hair, like the elves in movies and TV shows.

This alone shows her inhuman characteristics.

"Eat, and replenish your energy first."

The seductive woman turned her wrist and a new black thing, like a piece of bread, appeared.

She handed the thing to the crow and let it peck at it. Then she raised her hand, grabbed the collar of her black dress, and pulled out a brown sheepskin scroll from the charm of the mature couple.

With one hand, she untied the ribbon that bound the parchment scroll, allowing the scroll to unfold and float in the air.

At this moment, strange green lights appeared on the scroll in the air, and weaved into a magic circle pattern in the air.

Then, a calm and intellectual voice sounded:

[Contacting me at this time, it seems that you have found the weak point of the dimensional gap. ]

['Middleman' Enigma. ]

As the calm and intellectual male voice sounded, the woman named Enigma immediately revealed a charming smile:

"Yes, the dimensional weak point you need has been found."

After that, Enigma said the other person's name with deep meaning:

"Your Majesty Beelzebub."

Beelzebub, in the Old Testament, is called the king of demons and is also regarded as the devil.

To communicate with this kind of being, Enigma naturally used her brain a lot, and her words were filled with all kinds of temptations.

At this moment, the man called 'Beelzebub' did not react at all, but just said to himself:

[I do feel the suppression is weakening, but unfortunately, the loopholes in this world are not enough for me to descend.]

[Based on the current spatial parameters, this loophole must be expanded at least 20 times before I can descend.]

[I have locked the location of the vulnerability, you can try to expand it. ]

As Beelzebub finished speaking, green light quickly formed a map in space.

That map was exactly the same as the map of Kyoto City.

Looking at the marked loopholes on the map, especially seeing the Nijo Castle in the middle, Enigma's eyes flickered and he said immediately:
