Chapter Forty-Three: Anne Charlton

Anne Charlton learned that Ansheira was still alive three days ago.

Joe Benster, an older friend and collaborator, informs him with [important information from someone].

I don't know how I got the information, but the witch who is her old enemy is still alive, and she heard rumors that she is going to call the fiercest Campione and plan to carry out some action in Japan, so Anne immediately made a reservation for a plane ticket, and she is quick and decisive in doing things.

Arrived at Tarita yesterday evening, and it is said that the site is an exotic tourist destination.

Anne then called a taxi and left for Tokyo, where she stayed overnight at a hotel to relax and relax from the fatigue of the long flight before heading to the scene.

However, after hearing an urgent call from Professor Benster on his mobile phone, he changed his schedule.

A continuous report from an important intelligence provider (presumably the former Speaker of the Greenwich Sage Council). The god of disobedience appeared in the small city of Nikko, interrupted his rest in the hotel, and hurried to the scene while fighting with the steering wheel he was not used to.

There is also fatigue and jet lag, but I can't afford to slack off.

Anne Charlton is a woman with a very strong sense of justice and responsibility, driving the car on the night road for hours, and when she arrived at the scene of the incident, it was already the next morning.

"There is probably the equivalent of SSI in Japan, and if you can contact them, you can gather information, butβ€”" Anne muttered as she drove the car.

I had visited Japan a few years ago, and I knew a little about the country, so I wanted to grasp the details of the incident as soon as possible and defeat the culprit.

So, there is also a Campione born in Japan, should it be handed over to him to deal with? Well, it's not uncommon for the battle between the Godslayer and the God of Disobedience to take days or even weeks.

"If only he had woken up earlier, he would have gotten a lot of information." The condition of the young man lying in the back seat was confirmed through the rearview mirror.

Not long ago, I found myself fainting near the Otani River stream, and after investigating what I was holding, I confirmed that it was something related to spells, and I guess it was a member of Japan's SSI (which seems to be called the Official History Compilation Committee).

Unbeknownst to Anne Charlton, the young man's name was Ganji Dongma, and he was none other than the official history compiler who had lost contact.

In October, Lake Chuzenji is surrounded by red-dyed hills.

There are many restaurants and souvenir shops, as well as hotels and inns, and there is a hot spring area called Chuzenji Onsen near the lake.

In such a land, there are monkeys, not just one or two, and there are monkeys on the sidewalks, souvenir shops and cafeterias that serve tourists.

Monkey Dad and Monkey Son got together as a family and walked leisurely.

There is a monkey with a stick that seems to have stolen something, and it is being chased by a group of monkeys, and there are monkeys everywhere.

Sure enough, they turned out to be human...... It was turned into a monkey by the power of Monkey King! Qingqiuin Ena muttered as she looked at the situation in the ape kingdom.

Blend into the woods near Lake Chuzenji and jump on a branch at the right height to observe the enemy.

Thirty minutes ago, I passed through the Iroha Mountain Road, and I ran to the mountains with monkey-like agility without using a car or other means of transportation, but I was chased and killed by a large monkey like a mythical beast on the way.

Huina relied on martial arts and natural instincts to fight his way out of the encirclement.

"Oh, it's better to report to Xin first." Ena thought of something new and funny, and took out her phone.

The battery was gone, and Hui Na shrunk her shoulders and put the phone back.

"Well, although it's just a matter of those people, Ena didn't plan to make a regular report or anything from the beginning, so why don't you know a little more about this before the king comes?" A slender cloth bag hanging from his shoulder, which contained a two-foot-three-inch long sword.

It's a little shorter than the previous companion Tiancong Cloud Sword, but as a weapon, this sword is the right size, and that divine sword is out of specification in various senses, and it won't be long before the boy who took away this companion will arrive, and Ena's mood naturally becomes happy.

The morning after the incident.

Saya Miyashin drove to the campground where they were temporarily staying. After about an hour or two, I returned to the petrified Nikko Toshogu Shrine and looked out under the bright sunlight and noticed the strange scenery.

The area around Toshogu Shrine, Rinnoji Temple, and Futarasan Shrine is under high alert.

Fences were encircled, and uniformed policemen were conspicuous, prohibiting the entry and exit of ordinary people.

"At present, the detailed information is still being compiled, and there is a lot going on in Toshogu Shrine, and urgent restoration works are being carried out...... Here it was decided to close it first. "It was Saya Gong Xin who greeted them," Monkey King turned the tourists and local residents of this place into monkeys yesterday, and walked around the nearby shops, and there was no one anywhere. Well, it's just a mass disappearance rather than a mass massacre, but it's a blessing in misfortune. ”

Leading the way was Saya Miyashin, Godo walked beside her, and behind the two were Yuri, Erica and Liliana.

Walking along the road from Futarasan Shrine to Nishisando, there are many shops selling souvenirs in a row, and the area has been closed off by the police, making it unusually quiet.

"Even so, even the committee and the police were dispatched...... "Godo said as he felt bad.

Dressed in uniforms and under martial law, and people who looked decent in suits, they were busy walking back and forth from place to place.

"The Chronological Compilation Committee has a relationship with the Self-Defense Forces and the police, and has been closely associated with the current Shrine Agency, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and the Ministry of the Environment since the Meiji period. It's going to be a lot of fun. Xin said something uneasy.

"Mr. Gan Ji is also a national civil servant, well, that person's situation is that he will do some fake priesthood work in some shrines during the performance of his official duties, and he has all kinds of suspicious experiences."

"By the way, Miss Xin, how happened to Mr. Gansu?" After hearing the name of the acquaintance, Yuri interjected and asked.

Godo was also waiting for Xin's answer, he had heard something unknown about him last night.

"I'm sorry Yuri, I haven't reported it to you yet, he returned safely this morning, and there are some interesting things about this, so I'll explain it later." For some reason, Xin said with a slightly wry smile.

Because they were asked to talk to the two alone, Godo and Erica separated, and walked with Xin and the two to the Erarayama Shrine.

It's all a world of stones.

Wooden buildings, lush cedar forests, dirt floors, springs, and so on have all been turned to stone.

"Mr. Gansu's report said that the Luo Hao Sect Leader had been enclosed in these stones...... Is that so, just buried alive, okay? Xin muttered as she gently kicked the ground held in place by the stone with her toes.

"Hahaha! It's just that he was buried alive for half a day, how could Master die! If you're going to kill that person that way, you'll have to use it for at least three years! The person who laughed inappropriately was Lu Yinghua, who jumped down from the cedar tree that had turned into stone, and he wrapped his right palm around his left fist and lowered his head to the goo.

"The king of the ten thousand people, Lord Kusanagi Godo, has the same longevity as the sky, and the majesty of the royal body is all over the world!" The smooth and beautiful words made Godo roll his eyes.

"What is Lu Jun talking about...... It's a little more ordinary. ”

"This is absolutely unacceptable, because of Master's education, it has become a habit for the adults who are Campione to temporarily put aside their dignity and say hello, no matter what, if I make that person unhappy, I will have to face the danger of death." Lu Yinghua confessed his memories of daily labor.

"Then I'll accept your noble words, let me say what you like, ah, Kusanagi-sama, this Lu Yinghua title can be discarded, or I don't mind if I call it a nickname like Master."

"That's the case, then let me call you [Eagle]!" Maybe the other party is a homosexual younger than himself, Hutang accepted what Lu Yinghua said, and sure enough, it was easier for men to talk to each other, and Hutang re-realized this.

"Miss Saya Palace, this is the disciple of the Luo Hao Sect Master."

"I know, it's Lu Shaoxia, although it's the first time we've met, but you're a celebrity in our industry, so you probably know me over there." Xin gestured to the other party who was introduced.

"Me and Mr. Kusanagi...... I plan to have a meeting between the two of them who are responsible, but, well, Lu Shaoxia can also be the responsible person on the Chinese side, let's explain the situation first, Monkey King is moving from Nikko Street to Ao Nikko. Shin took out the Nikko map from the pocket of her jacket, "The area from Lake Chuzenji to Okuyumoto is called Oku-Nikko, and it is said that ordinary people who set foot in this area now have turned into monkeys in an instant. ”

The beautiful head of the committee said as he walked his finger over the map.

"The routes that allow cars to enter Nikko are the First and Second Iroha Mountain Roads, the Kanese Pass on the border of Gunma Prefecture, and the direction of Nishizawa, and other places that are being cordoned off by mobile teams."

"Can you ask them to let us through when we go over there?"

"Of course, it's just because there will be a big monkey on that path, please be careful, the scouts we sent there encountered it...... So Lu Shaoxia also chased after each other with the divine beast last night? ”

"The big monkey gave up chasing me on the way, so I'll be chasing after it this time." Lu Yinghua laughed with a proud expression.

He is excellent because he has superhuman foot strength to be able to track the work.

"It's a bit hard to do a fast tracking, but fortunately, I went to the other party's side, and if I go back, I won't be able to see any good things, and around dawn today, there is an extraordinary aura gathered on the spiritual mountain of Oku-Nikko, and I went to take a look." From beginning to end, Lu Yinghua told what he had witnessed from Nanti Mountain.

Godo learns of the emergence of a new powerful enemy and the removal of the enemy's shackles.

"Even Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing have appeared...... Things are getting quite troublesome. ”

"Hawkish, Xiaoguang - what happened to the girl who was robbed of her body by the Great Sage?" Beside Xin, who looked hesitant to speak, Godo asked very excitedly.

Now that the spell is gone, there shouldn't be any need to use Xiaoguang's purification ability.

"It's strange to say this, Monkey King has recovered his true form, but the posture of that witch doesn't know where to go, and besides, King Naraku doesn't seem to be missing......"

The heart of Lu Yinghua's report to the hall was suddenly raised, and Xiaoguang's body disappeared, so it means that it may also be considered useless by the Great Sage and abandoned, the situation is really bad.

"Mr. Kusanagi...... Xiaoguang's absence can also be regarded as a good thing, after all, the Great Sage is no longer attached to her, but if you think about it, the hostages over there will also not be able to change back, and I am afraid that the child will become an obstacle when crusading against the Monkey King. ”

"Miss Saya Palace, there is no need to say these words."

Godo interrupted her quickly, and there was no need to listen again.

"In any case, I'll definitely find Xiaoguang, and if that monkey gets in the way, then I'll knock him over, so there's no need to explain to me what you're going to say now."

"Sure enough, is this your decision?" I don't know why Xin said with interest, as she can always perceive everything, it is a rare undisguised word.

"I don't mind that the god who causes trouble to others will be defeated if he can't do it except me, but my power is mine, and no one wants to use it, and I don't want to hear what I don't like to hear." While knowing that he was saying some ruthless words, he asserted that he had to give up everything to save Wanli Guguang, and he understood this very well, but there was no need to follow the practice of leading the answer from the beginning.

"The guy who thinks it's good to abandon a girl and help more people, let him fight God by himself, I don't want to know these things, but if you want me to do it anyway, it must be in line with my own style, in short, I just want to say, if it's a guy who wants to rely on the strength of others, don't give me any nonsense here!"

"As your lord said, Kusanagi-sama, that's exactly what you would say as a demon king."

Appreciated by the direct disciples of the Demon Sect Master, the Guardian Hall was a little embarrassed.

Now his own statement is the same as that of other Campiones who will act as they please, not unlike what Naraku, Lord Luohao, and Marquis of Woban would do.

"There's really no way, Mr. Kusanagi has the power and responsibility to decide what to do...... That's when things get interesting! No, in fact, I also don't think you will say [It's okay to sacrifice Xiaoguang, I will defeat Monkey King!] This kind of talk. Xin turned out to be indifferent, and said with a smile, "I'm a person who likes to decorate the faΓ§ade and be whimsical, and by the way, I also like cute girls very much, but as the head of the organization, there are many times when I can't help myself, but this time it's an order from His Majesty the Demon King, so I can't follow it." ”

The head of the committee smiled evilly.

The appearance of fully agreeing with Lu Yinghua's lawsuit is completely like a royal businessman who has colluded with the evil official.,No,Should it be said that he has become a follower of the demon king who is the enemy of the world.。

It's going in a bad direction again for Campione......

Next to the guard hall with her head down, Xin took out her mobile phone, as if there was a call.

"Mr. Kusanagi, the missing guy has come here, do you want to meet him? There's an interesting guest with you. Xin, who had been talking for a while, cut off the phone and said that the missing person should be Ganji, but who was the interesting guest talking about? Although he felt strange, Godo still walked behind Xin.

As a matter of course, Lu Yinghua also walked with him, and the three of them came to Omotesando in front of Toshogu Shrine.

Erica, Liliana, and Yuri faced the young man in a suit, and sure enough, it was Gansu.

"Ahh found that when he came to the guard, Gan Ji made a greeting, with a weak tone.

If you look closely, you can see that the face is also very poor, and the untidy clothes are even worse than usual.

This is the first time to see him so weak.

At this time, Godo found the white woman behind him, with short red hair as if burning, a straight face with intellect and sharp will, wearing a leather suit jacket and suit pants, and a cold and glamorous appearance that could not find any shortcomings on her body, which was a woman with such an atmosphere.

"This, this is Miss Anne Charlton, yes, yes, the rescuer who accidentally rescued me from being unconscious and soaking wet." Gansu's body trembled and shook, and he introduced his companions while snorting.

Anne, who is reminiscent of the cold beauty, "My name is Annie, please advise" gave a short greeting in fluent Japanese.
