"Hmph, I thought you could be any different from those in the family...... As a result, they are just mortals blinded by their eyes......"

In the apartment, Takumi Fujiwara lowered his head gloomily, and the bangs in the middle were blocked in front of his eyes, making his expression a little difficult to see.

"In short, I have my own way to go, your joint action, let's see how I feel later."

"But, you ...... that night."

Hearing the other party's decisive refusal, Mochizuki Ayano couldn't help but open her mouth to persuade.

After confirming that Takumi Fujiwara was the "Ghost Face Rider" that night, she was very confident that she could persuade the other party to join the joint operation.

Since Qiao Zhuang dressed up and secretly assisted in the ninth lesson, the other party must have a determination to implement justice.

Her eyes moved to the neatly folded tokusatsu and ghost-faced helmet next to the sofa, and her brain was racing at high speed.

The noble Fujiwara clan has always been the main force of strong opposition to the proposal for joint action.

And the reason why Fujiwara Takumi refused to participate in the joint operation head-on, and disguised himself to secretly eliminate the spirit, must be to take into account the face of the clan while implementing the justice in his heart.

Such a person with both talent and virtue and indifference to fame and fortune is worthy of being the leader of the contemporary young soul destroyer.

Now that he already knows the identity of the other party, rashly revealing this matter is afraid that it will anger the Fujiwara family and bring unnecessary trouble to Fujiwara Takumi.

Thinking of this, Mochizuki Ayano has decided to completely pretend not to know about Oniface Rider.

After all, the other party was a lifesaver for himself that night, and the Fujiwara clan was willing to approve the documents of the joint operation, which was already a great concession.

"In that case, we will visit again, and hope to see you in the next run-in mission. Lesson 9 will show you that you are not 'alone' by your own performance. ”

Now that he has made up his mind, Mochizuki Ayano will no longer stay, and after making a hint, he gets up and leaves.

"This ......"

Ichiro Tokimoto, who was originally going to persuade her, followed her and left with some puzzlement.

Watching Uncle Keigo send the two away, Takumi Fujiwara's face was relieved.

"Whew, have you finally sent it away, the next mission will just say that I am in retreat and cultivating......"

With that, he collapsed on the couch and took out the switch.

"Damn Sousuke Araki, I'm going to have to rebuild my entire island...... But it's time to try the new design style......"

As he operated excitedly, the chrysanthemum pattern spiritual power continued to float out in the air.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Shibuya.

"Are you ready, Sousuke...... At a moment, you must be decisive, resolutely not distracted, and 'kill' the target at the first time. ”

Higashino Kohei stood in the crowd, his eyes slightly condensed, full of murderous aura.

"Oh, come on, let them know how good we ......"

Sousuke Araki, who was beside him, rolled up his sleeves to reveal the large tattoos on his arms.

In the face of the murderous two, the crowd crowded around the two also looked resolute and did not retreat.

"Seiyu Supermarket's annual limited-time special sale event is now ...... Please line up for this group of guests to enter the venue......"

With the shouts of the clerk holding the microphone, the two huddled in the middle of a group of aunts and struggled towards the supermarket.

The rush to buy a big special price is destined to be a difficult journey.

……

Five days later, late at night.

A black Toyota Alpha business car was quietly parked at the entrance of Akagi Shrine.

After a while, a bird dressed as a shrine maiden walked out slowly along the stone path behind the torii.

On her back, she carried a long, narrow white cloth bag.

"It's a birdie shrine maiden at Akagi Shrine. As the leader of the 'joint group', please take care of me during the 'joint operation'. ”

A middle-aged man who looked extremely capable took the agent behind him, greeted her respectfully, and introduced her to the agent behind him.

"Please take care of me."

Kotori Yu Mayuki also nodded quietly.

The documents related to the "joint action" were signed a week ago, and thanks to the "fig leaf" of the Soul Destroyer Association, the members of the Spirit Destroyer Association and the Ninth Lesson began to enter the stage of full cooperation.

The ultimate goal of the joint operation is to give full play to each other's strengths, reduce casualties, and improve the efficiency of soul removal.

The ninth section is responsible for the preliminary information collection, task plan formulation and personnel allocation.

For the existence of the strange level [II] or above, based on the agents of the joint team, cooperate with the spirit slayer to carry out targeted spirit removal operations.

In addition to the small bird Yu Zhengong, there are a total of four drivers in the "United Group", all of whom are composed of the most elite detectives in the ninth lesson.

The driver is responsible for in-vehicle communications, medical, driving, information support, and emergency support.

The other three heavily armed agents formed an operation group and were responsible for coordinating with the soul slayer to carry out the mission on the front line.

"Little Bird Witch, this is the relevant information of our run-in mission and the proposed several sets of action plans."

Satoru Ichijo handed a tablet to the birdie Yumako.

Although he had already checked the relevant information in advance, Xiao Tori Yu Zhengong still took the tablet and looked at it seriously.

The run-in quests were selected from the accumulated quests of the Soul Slayer Association, and they were all quests between the weird level [One] and [II].

"We're really lucky to be assigned a genius shrine maiden with a 100% mission completion rate."

A young detective sitting next to him said excitedly.

"Joint action" is tantamount to a shot in the arm for all of Lesson 9.

The ninth class detectives, most of them are elite members selected from the Self-Defense Forces and the Metropolitan Police Department, and a few of them also have a faint inspiration and can vaguely sense certain existences.

However, in the face of the invisible, intangible, illogical, resentful spirits and weirdness, even with the assistance of the spiritual power equipment of the research institute, the agents who are still ordinary people in essence are always in an "unsuitable" battlefield and barely fighting.

The addition of professional soul slayers just makes up for the biggest shortcoming of Lesson 9.

"No, you have won the prize, please take care of it."

Kotori Yumato replied modestly.

According to the relevant guidelines of joint action, the members of the team sent by Lesson 9 must give up their lives in order to protect the retreat of the soul slayer in a critical moment.

This is also one of the conditions for those Onmyoji clans, temples, and shrines to be willing to send hard-cultivated soul slayers to participate in the operation.

"The Birdie Maiden doesn't have to be modest, the action is led by the professional advice of the soul slayer, and I ask you to be bold and command us."

Seeing the restraint of the shrine maiden, Ichijo Satoru also enlivened up the atmosphere in a friendly way.

What he said is true, because they are facing an existence that cannot be inferred by common sense, so the soul slayer is often aware of some of the target's rules of action, and may even make seemingly "unreasonable" instructions such as walking to death and self-harm, which requires the collective obedience of the agents.

And the information of the soul slayer who participated in this run-in mission, they had already seen it beforehand, and although the witch in front of them was only a spirit slayer who was exempted from the level [one], she was the "most wanted to cooperate with the spirit slayer" NO.1 privately rated by the detectives.

After all, the other strange soul slayers don't seem to be easy to deal with.

At the same time, as under the torii gate of Akagi Shrine, "joint action teams" from all over Tokyo embarked on a difficult journey.
