episode_0113

I took the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Osaka.

There were many Koreans in Tokyo, but when I came to Dotonbori, which is famous for many tourists, I heard more Korean than Japanese.

‘If you want to hide a tree, you have to hide it in the forest~’

I bought some chewy Osaka Takoyaki and ate it while walking around.

While I was wondering where I should sleep today, the police came rushing in as if there had been an accident nearby.

I was curious to see people who seemed to have psychic abilities rushing after the police, so I followed them.

There was a dark red labyrinth gate in what appeared to be a park.

Seeing the no-access tape painted around the gate, it looks like the villain had an accident in the labyrinth.

‘Both Korea and Japan are having a hard time because of villains.’

Even though I am a villain being chased now, right?

“Not yet?!”

“I contacted people around me, but there was no release team available!”

“Damn you guys!! It’s not there whenever you need it!! Then, form a proper siege to prevent them from escaping!!”

“Yep!!”

A man who looked tall gave an order to his subordinate and looked at the gate with sharp, slitted eyes.

Stick your tongue! He kicked it and approached the psychics who were resting on the floor.

“Would it be difficult to destroy it?”

“Yes. Tatsuhiro and I attacked it, but it didn’t flinch. At least grade A.”

“Damn… Then we have to reorganize the entry unit again… Why on earth are you doing this in a C-class labyrinth!”

“At first glance, I heard that they were looking for something inside.”

“Looking for it? What?”

“Sorry. I haven’t heard that far.”

“Tsk! Okay, so you too go into the siege group.”

“Yes. Deputy Manager!”

I had a good idea when I saw the person called the deputy manager looking at the gate.

I am being chased now.

The best way is to hide your traces as much as possible, but humans tend to leave traces without even realizing it.

Even a single hair can be used to conduct forensic investigations. There is magic in this world, right?

So, I’m not planning on hiding it completely.

‘They’re spreading traces here and there!’

I, who thought I was in Korea, was actually in Japan?

What if a chase team is dispatched to investigate in Japan and they end up in another country?

Imari, you can give a big fuck to the Korea Psychic Association!

I chuckled at the not bad plan.

‘Japanese villains! ‘Give me strength!!’

I crossed the no-access tape and entered the gate in front of me.

“Puhaha!! Those idiotic association bastards!!”

“What can you guys do?!”

People who covered their entire bodies with black robes began to laugh at the psychic running away from inside the translucent shield.

As they cursed and laughed, a man with his face covered with a white mask approached the figure sitting on the floor.

“The association guys have stepped down.”

“You won’t be able to hold out for long. Find your items as quickly as possible.”

As the masked being retreated, the being sitting on the floor.

Labyrinth Church Japan Branch Number 9.

S-class villain Kagiri closed his eyes.

His ability is [Block].

As long as your mental power can withstand, you can [block] physical power within a certain range.

A typical example is [blocking] before being hit by an enemy attack.

It can be used to pass time by creating a wall that [blocks] the outside and inside.

Kagiri received instructions from superiors that there was a hidden artifact here in the [Denden Town Labyrinth].

He came to search with his subordinates and sensed the energy of the relic.

I wanted to proceed as quietly as possible.

“I will release my subordinates immediately. For a new world.”

“Before that. Deal with the bastard who caused an accident. You too, prepare your heart.”

“… I understand.”

A subordinate wearing a mask.

A gangster recruited by the subordinate could not control his excitement and killed a passing psychic.

Because it was a labyrinth with a large floating population, the incident spread quickly.

The Japanese Psychic Association was dispatched.

If they started stealing, rumors would spread, and there would be reports of damage to the labyrinth, and eventually they would be dispatched, but for no reason, they relaxed their efforts early on.

“Okay, go ahead. For a new world.”

“For a new world!”

The masked man pounded his chest with his fist! After hitting him, he disappeared somewhere.

Alone, Kagiri sat on the floor and meditated.

The only way to regain my mental strength was to rest, so I chose to breathe.

When you close your eyes and breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth.

“Hi Hello, how are you? Do you know who I am?”

An unfamiliar voice tickled my ears.

I wonder if some kid is playing around… I was thinking about cutting off his head and killing him right away, but when I opened my eyes, there was a man wearing a penguin mask standing there.

“Moshimoshi~ I want to ask you something~”

Unlike the man in a playful mood, Kagiri was quite surprised.

This area is [blocked] by his abilities.

Unauthorized beings cannot enter and cannot leave.

But this penguin.

“… Who is your guy?”

It was a man I had never seen before.

Upon entering through the gate, the coordinates had been fixed, and a translucent protective shield in the shape of a circular dome was spread out widely.

I tried pushing it with my finger, but it just popped out and it seemed difficult to get in.

Of course to others.

I grinned and picked a nukki as tall as I was [deleted], and the wall disappeared.

When I went inside and [reverted], the wall that had disappeared reappeared.

Before entering the labyrinth, I covered my face with a penguin mask that I had obtained from a nearby Don Quixote.

When I walked inside the wall with transparency turned off, I saw a man with his face covered with a mask, just like me, being scolded by a man sitting on the floor.

I was told what to do.

“Okay, go ahead. For a new world.”

“For a new world!”

Punch your chest with your fist! He hit me and walked away.

[For a new world].

I didn’t know it before, but this is the signature message of the Labyrinth Church.

I came in without much thought, but I had no idea it was the scene of an incident involving the Labyrinth Church, which extends across the world.

I wanted to go out again… but…

‘I, who was the S-class deputy director of the Psychic Association, was actually an executive of the Labyrinth Church!? Ppuuuppasyung!’

I decided to continue with the content that would appear on the 9 o’clock news.

I stood next to Rob, who was sitting quietly as if meditating, and then turned off the transparency.

“Moshimoshi~ I want to ask you something~”

When I asked with a playful tone, his eyes opened.

He turned his head to look up at me, and his eyes became cold.

“… Who is your guy?”

He chuckled at the sharp question and saluted with his right hand like a soldier with lost discipline.

“For a new world. Jay came from Korea to apply. It is said.”

“Korea? Jay?”

“Yes. Do you know Korea’s Song Ki-young?”

“Song Ki-young… Beast Tamer?”

“That’s right.!I am Song Ki-young’s hidden right-hand man. Jay! ”

“… Is the hidden right arm active so openly?”

“Ahaha! Won’t you get promoted if you appeal to higher-ranking people with your abilities and name? Plus, I’m fluent in Japanese, so I can advance overseas!”

“…”

Although his eyes were still full of suspicion, he sighed as if he could not easily ignore me, who had penetrated through his abilities.

“Okay… let’s say so. So Jay. How did you know about this place?”

“Isn’t it difficult for us to be active in Korea these days? My boss, Song Ki-young, became mentally unstable after being caught in slime~”

“Leader Kim Ji-hoon is keeping an eye on the Korean Association’s opinions~”

“I was wondering if there was a better place to enhance my reputation, so I moved to Japan for a while~”

“You can’t answer my question. Here. how. know. You came, right?”

Since he was an official of the Labyrinth Church, he had great power, so I felt a little pressure every time he said a word.

There would be no problem if I used [Stop] to protect myself, but here I decided to pretend to be weak and retreat.

“Agogo! Please save me! If you persecute me like this when I came to help you, it makes me cry with sadness!”

“Shut up and speak quickly.”

“Got it! Okay, so give me some strength!!”

Only when I overstepped and stepped back did the pressure on my shoulders disappear, as if the man in front of me had gained strength.

“Ugh. Actually, it’s a coincidence.”

“Coincidence?”

“Yes. It is true that it came from Korea to Japan. I went around Japan with the intention of taking a trip, but aren’t the damn associations blocking the gate of this labyrinth?”

“So what? And I looked into it!!”

As he spoke, he bent one knee and touched the ground.

Both hands were extended towards the man in the robe.

He smiled brightly, waving his outstretched hand from side to side as if twinkling.

“Wouldn’t there be an executive~?”

“This is an opportunity for promotion! I ran over to you~”

At my words, which were half true and half false, Rob’s presence became quiet for a moment and then tried to tease me again.

“How did you break through my power?”

“Are you talking about the wall you see over there?”

“Okay.”

“My ability is [Ghost Transformation], right?”

“Ghosting?”

“Isn’t this Seonwook Yoon from the Gangnam branch in Seoul, Korea? It is convenient to think of it as backward compatibility with that SS-class child~”

Shall I show you somewhere? I said and slightly lowered the transparency of my body.

The creature’s eyes widened as it saw the color drain from its body, and a hint of trust appeared.

“I see. Can’t it become a little more transparent?”

“It is possible~”

When I set the transparency to 0 at his request, my body disappeared.

“Is it next to you?”

“It’s right next to you, right~?”

“Huh… That’s a very good ability.”

“The battle is very painful~ Ah! Are you good at surprise attacks though? Secretly grazing my neck from behind~”

As I turned off the invisibility with the words, the being in the robe smiled wryly.

“Okay… did you say your name is Jay?”

“That’s right. If you don’t mind, may I ask your honor as a high-ranking official?”

“…”

When the man was silent for a moment as if he was thinking about it, I opened my mouth first.

“Oh my. You don’t completely trust me yet. I understand. A Korean who suddenly appeared is a subordinate of an official of the Labyrinth Church. You might find it hard to believe. So should we do this?”

“… What is it?”

“Jay, one day from now. I will be your right hand man!”

“After using my abilities to my fullest! Trustworthy! When you want! Please tell me the name of the executive!”

“Not bad. If you’re really a comrade, I’ll go to Korea… No? I’ll contact you in the US.”

“Thank you for your transaction! this! Jay’s future is as dazzling as the sun!!”
