Then, at some point in time, a high-ranking officer in the Self-Defense Forces publicly expressed his agreement with the fox's "ideology," thus launching a coup...
Kiyoshi Kaneda became increasingly alarmed as he thought about it, but upon closer examination, he found the guess to be quite reasonable.
The current international situation is turbulent, Japan's economy continues to deteriorate, and the people yearn for a strongman, a hero, to lead them out of their predicament.
And that mysterious organization may very well want to take advantage of this to cause trouble.
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the horror in his heart.
This speculation is too bold and absolutely cannot be reported.
Otherwise, those people above would just think he's crazy.
He had to wait, waiting for "Fox" to make another move, escalating the situation to an even greater and more unmanageable level.
Only then will his seemingly absurd speculation become convincing enough to prompt the higher-ups to shift their investigation focus to those large conglomerates.
Currently, the power of his special investigation team is far from sufficient.
So he could only start from the most conventional direction.
Investigate Yoshikawa Masaya's network of relationships to see who will be the biggest beneficiary after this "cult leader's" death.
This investigation logic aligns with the superiors' consistent understanding. Although he personally disagrees with it, he has to do it procedurally to avoid being perceived as slacking off.
Mediocre people always struggle to understand the ideas of geniuses.
In order to advance his investigation, he had to first conform to the mindset of those "mediocre" people.
……
Evening, Okubo Station.
With his hands in his pockets, Qingze casually walked out of the station gate with the flow of people leaving get off work.
After returning from Kawagoe, he traveled to almost every one of Tokyo's 23 wards, but to no avail; he didn't see any color tags.
But he was not discouraged. He planned to go home and eat first, feed the yellow dog, and then continue searching after nightfall.
He had just stretched his ankles and was about to jog home when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a somewhat familiar figure standing in front of a bookstore on his right.
The girl had thick, long black hair, which she didn't tie up like she did at school, but instead let it fall casually over her shoulders. She wore large black-rimmed glasses and a blue medical mask, which almost completely covered her face.
She was dressed in somewhat unfashionable casual clothes, looking like she had just arrived in Tokyo from the countryside, and she seemed a little timid.
But what caught Qingze's attention was a brown paper bag that she was tightly clutching in her arms.
Above the paper bag, a dazzling gold label is clearly visible.
[Hidden Treasure]
"Fujikawa!"
Qingze immediately called out and quickly walked through the crowd toward her.
When her name was suddenly called, Fujikawa Junna froze and hurriedly turned her head to look.
When she realized that it was Qingze walking towards her, her heart skipped a beat.
"Impossible! How could the teacher possibly recognize me when I'm disguised like this?!"
She screamed inwardly, "I must have misheard! It must be my imagination!"
Fujikawa Junna instinctively turned around, wanting to escape from the bookstore entrance immediately.
However, Qingze was faster, catching up in a few strides and gently grabbing her shoulder, his tone teasing: "Fujikawa Junna, how come you don't recognize your teacher as soon as you leave school?"
"what!"
Fujikawa Junna seemed to only then realize what was happening, turning her head, "H-Oh, it's Aozawa-sensei! I didn't hear you just now, haha, haha..."
She laughed awkwardly a few times, then couldn't help but ask, "How did you recognize me?"
"I knew it was you the moment I saw your signature black-rimmed glasses."
"Am I from the Glasses Planet?!"
Fujikawa Junna instinctively made a sarcastic remark, then realized her lapse in composure, quickly straightened up, and stammered, "Teacher, um, excuse me, I have something urgent to attend to, I'll be going now!"
She was about to run away when she said that.
Qingze wasn't about to let her get away so easily; he still needed to see what kind of book it was with the gold label.
He deliberately put on a stern face and said in a suspicious tone, "I saw you just came out of the bookstore, and you seemed so flustered when you saw me. Did you buy some inappropriate books for children?"
These words struck a nerve with the truth that Fujikawa Junna was desperately trying to hide, and her cheeks under the mask instantly became hot, her ears turning bright red.
"No, no! How could I possibly read that kind of book! Hahaha..."
She quickly denied it, her eyes darting nervously left and right; anyone could tell she was lying.
Qingze chuckled inwardly and reached out to take the paper bag from her arms.
"Then let the teacher check it, so that you can be cleared of any wrongdoing."
"Ah! Teacher!"
Fujikawa Junna exclaimed in surprise and instinctively tried to snatch it back, but after making two empty grabbing motions in the air, she reluctantly withdrew her hand, mindful of the other person's status as a teacher.
She was so nervous that her toes gripped the soles of her shoes so tightly, as if she wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it right there.
Qingze pulled the book with the gold label out of the paper bag.
The book cover is striking, featuring two handsome men with contrasting styles embracing tightly against an ambiguous background.
The book title is even bolder and more direct: "I transmigrated to a BL world and was targeted by my brothers."
Qingze's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
Why... why is it that only this kind of book has a gold label?!
He cried out silently in his heart.
Meanwhile, Fujikawa Juna was so embarrassed that she wanted to disappear, and she stammered, "This, this is not what I wanted to see! It's, it's my sister!"
Yes, my sister wanted to see it and insisted that I buy it for her!
"Hmph, how could I let my underage sister buy this kind of book?"
Qingze immediately put on a stern face, stuffed the books back into the paper bag, and then held the whole bag in his hand. "I'm confiscating these books. I'll pay you double the money you spent on them."
"Um...ah..."
Fujikawa Juna opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't dare to say no, and could only let out a weak moan.
Taking the opportunity, Qingze gave her a pep talk, urging her to cultivate healthy hobbies and not to get caught up in things that could distort her worldview while she was still in school.
Fujikawa Junna just kept nodding, seemingly accepting the advice humbly, but in reality, she let it go in one ear and out the other.
Qingze noticed her distracted state and didn't say anything more. He asked about the price of the books, took out his wallet and paid her double the amount, then watched as the restless student hurriedly ran into the entrance of Okubo Station like a frightened rabbit.
Only after her figure disappeared into the crowd did Qingze turn around and step back into the bookstore.
The shop assistant at the counter had already overheard the conversation at the door and quickly said, "I'm sorry, sir, but once a book is sold, it cannot be returned or exchanged after the customer leaves the store."
"Yeah, I'm just browsing."
Qingze responded, then carefully circled the bookstore again to make sure there were no other books with gold tags before striding away.
After a while, Fujikawa Juna sneaked back like a thief.
She adjusted her large glasses, and beneath her mask, a sinister smile curled at the corner of her mouth.
"Once the research is finished, we must immediately begin creating!"
She secretly hardened her heart.
This unexpected "blow" made her instantly decide on the theme of her next work: [A righteous teacher is cruelly teased by delinquent students and ultimately falls into depravity].
"Jie Jie..."
As a light novel author with some fame in the BL (Boys' Love) community, she will use her best skills to carry out the most "profound" revenge on Qingze's "righteous and stern" lecture.
Don't underestimate fujoshi (female fans of male-male romance)!
Chapter 36 Chizuru is actually a conservative
Back at the Dongye apartment, Qingze didn't rush to read the newly acquired "magic book." Instead, he tied on an apron and cooked sweet and sour pork ribs and stir-fried eggs with chives himself.
He served the steaming hot rice, sat down at the table, and then took out the "magic book".
Although he had no interest in this kind of subject matter, he was willing to endure this little "unpleasantness" in order to master magic.
He ate his meal while turning the pages of a book, forcing himself to memorize its contents.
After finishing his meal, he mixed all the bones and the rich sauce from the sweet and sour pork ribs into the remaining rice, and then poured it into Big Yellow's dog bowl.
Only after watching Da Huang happily wag its tail and pounce on the food did he turn around to tidy up the table.
After washing up, he picked up the book again and continued his arduous task of "studying".
He read until 10 p.m. before rubbing his throbbing temples, closing the book, getting up to take a hot bath, and then returning to his bedroom to fall into a deep sleep.
……
It was the same familiar dream.
His mind found relaxation in the boundless depths of the sea, and his body slowly sank one meter, reaching a depth of 301 meters.
Jingle Bell!
The phone alarm rang on time, waking Qingze from his deep sleep.
He swiped his finger across the screen to turn off the alarm, and a new day began.
Brushing teeth, washing face, walking the dog, and at the same time activating [Eyes of the Birds] again, controlling the sparrow to search for possible red name tags in the city.
I was lucky this time and got three red name tags.
He then returned home and began preparing breakfast.
In addition to his own and Da Huang's portions, he also specially prepared a bento box for Tsukishima Chizuru.
After everything was ready, he packed his lunch, hopped on his secondhand motorcycle, and headed towards Changteng High School in the morning breeze.
