After the cherry blossoms have fallen, the streets of Tokyo have been replaced by a scene of spring light.

At this time, Chiya did not stay in this Taisha shrine, but accompanied by Wakadie, went to the headquarters of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department at Sakurada Gate.

In front of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's headquarters, Officer Sato, who had been waiting for a long time, saw the arrival of Chiya and Wakadie, and hurriedly greeted him: "Mr. Chiba, Miss Wakadie, welcome to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's main store." ”

"Our store?" Chiya glanced at Officer Sato curiously.

Each police station in Tokyo is called a "branch store", so the Metropolitan Police Department main office is called "main store". Officer Sato enthusiastically introduced to Chiya, "In addition, for today's meeting, Minister Kondo of the General Affairs Department, Director of the Ministry of Police, Director of the Ministry of Police, Director Okita of the Ministry of Garrison, and Director of our Criminal Department Oda Kiri are already waiting for you in the conference room. ”

"You only have nine ministers in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, right?" Qianye walked towards the Metropolitan Police Department under the leadership of Officer Sato, and Ruodie always followed him: "It seems that you attach great importance to this matter." ”

Officer Sato pressed an elevator for Chiya, and after Chiya and Wakadie walked in, he followed in and lit up the floor where the conference room was located: "Yes, after all, this is also the first time in the history of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department that a department has been set up to deal with 'special disasters', and the above attaches great importance to this matter." The leaders of the relevant departments have been meeting for almost half a month on this matter, and the police department and I are also working overtime every day because of this matter. It seems that for reasons of secrecy, Officer Sato used the word "special disaster" instead of a yokai attack.

"There's no way around it, after all, you and Officer Twilight are both witnesses." Chiya smiled and expressed her understanding of Officer Sato's situation, and asked, "How is the formation of the countermeasure room?" ”

"At present, the Metropolitan Police Department has selected excellent and capable police officers from various headquarters in Tokyo to join the countermeasures office, and the Twilight Police Department has also been transferred to the countermeasures office to serve as the head of the Operations Division. Although the Countermeasures Office is nominally a subordinate department of the Disaster Countermeasures Division of the Metropolitan Security Department, in fact, it is the 10th department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. Speaking of this, Officer Sato showed off a little bit: "Because of the connection between the last time I caught the murderer myself, I was also able to transfer to the countermeasures room, and I still serve as the deputy of the Twilight Police Department, and now I have been promoted to the chief inspector." ”

Qianye looked at the excited Officer Sato, and congratulated with a smile: "Then congratulations to Officer Sato, you and Officer Twilight have been promoted." ”

"All of this is thanks to Mr. Chiba, if it weren't for Mr. Chiba's help in catching the murderer, I and the Twilight Police Department wouldn't have been promoted because of this incident. The police department has already said that he wants to thank you, Mr. Chiba. Hearing Senya's congratulations, Officer Sato hurriedly excused himself.

Officer Sato knew in his heart that his promotion was all due to Chiya's capture of the demon fox who attacked the girl. The Twilight Police Department was able to be transferred to the countermeasures room, and it was because of the famous knife Oni Kiri lent by Qianye that allowed him to repel the demon fox. Therefore, Officer Sato was very modest in the face of Senya's congratulations.

"Officer Sato is too modest." Qianye didn't seem to care, "If Officer Twilight wants to express his gratitude, Officer Twilight's willingness to help in the next proposed thing is already the biggest thank you." ”

"Please rest assured, Mr. Chiba, that incident has already approached colleagues from the relevant departments, and I heard that the high-level officials are also interested in promoting this matter, and things are going well." Officer Sato apparently understood what Senya was talking about: "If Nana Min and the others can become the image spokesperson of the Metropolitan Police Department, then they will be able to get close to their idols!" ”

Looking at Officer Sato's excited appearance, Chiya smiled dumbly. Who would have thought that Officer Sato, who usually seems honest and reliable, would be a hopeless idol otaku? After thinking about it, Qianye said to Officer Sato again: "Miss Hashimoto, if they Nogizaka 46 become the image spokesperson of the Metropolitan Police Department, I will ask Officer Sato to take more care of them at that time." ”

"Mr. Chiba, don't worry, nothing else, this kind of thing is on me!" For the fact that he was able to get close to his idol, Officer Sato showed 12 points of dedication.

In the middle of their conversation, the elevator reached the floor where the conference room was located.

Officer Sato led Chiya and Wakadie to the door of the conference room, and after gently pushing open the door of the conference room, what appeared in front of Chiya was a row of senior officials of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department sitting at the conference table.

——————————————————

"Mr. Chiba, we have just discussed the issue of training in the countermeasure room. I'm more concerned about the equipment right now, after all, the exorcist and the armor you provide need to be custom-made and add special materials, which is undoubtedly a lot of money for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and I want to know how useful these equipment is. Minister Kondo, who was in charge of finance, flipped through the documents in front of him with a serious face, and the equipment expenditure on it was undoubtedly a figure that pierced his nerves.

Minister Okita of the Security Department also followed closely behind Minister Kondo and said, "Not only that, but the training of the ancient swordsmanship can really give the police officers the strength to fight against youkai?" Obviously, Minister Kondo still has doubts about whether ordinary people can fight demons, and about another layer of worry about Guliu swordsmanship, Minister Kondo did not raise it.

Unlike many kendo schools that are circulating today, the ancient swordsmanship offered by Senya is undoubtedly a true killing technique. If it spreads, it will undoubtedly cause certain social security problems, but Minister Kondo is not too worried about this. On the one hand, the Metropolitan Police Department will firmly control the spread of Guliu swordsmanship, and on the other hand, as an ordinary person, even if they learn Guliu swordsmanship, they are still within the scope of ordinary police. In the face of hot weapons, criminals can't rely on physical resistance like youkai, otherwise the samurai will not easily withdraw from the stage of history in the era of the end of the Edo era.

"Please rest assured on this." Senya calmly responded to the questions of Minister Okita and Minister Kondo: "Since the establishment of the Taisha period here, Kyoto has been guarding Kyoto and fighting demons. Whether it is the legendary Falling Sakura Flowing Demon Knife Technique or the corresponding various equipment, it has been perfected over hundreds of years. From the Heian period to the Azuchi-Momoyama period, the war witches of the Taisha shrine here have slain countless demons that have caused trouble to the world. So you can rest assured that these things will work. ”

After listening to Chiya's explanation, the four ministers of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department exchanged glances with each other, although they still had some doubts, they all nodded when they had no better choice.

"Mr. Chiba, then I hope we have a good cooperation." Minister Kondo finalized the collaboration.

"I'm sure we'll have a good time working together, Minister Kondo." Chiya smiled.

After talking about business, the atmosphere in the conference room became relaxed. Minister Kondo even invited Chiya to lunch at the cafeteria of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department headquarters.

"Minister Kondo, I heard that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department will have a publicity campaign about the safety of young women recently, right?" After leaving the conference room with Minister Kondo, Senya asked the head of the General Affairs Department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

"There is indeed a plan." Minister Kondo wondered why Chiya knew about this, but he explained, "We plan to make a series of promotional videos to educate young women about personal safety, after all, this attack has had a great impact on society." Although the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has closed the case under the pretext of a human organ trafficking syndicate, the public's fears for public safety must be appeased, so we have developed this plan. ”

"Oh? It's really a good way to do it. Qianye nodded undeniably, and asked again: "So have you figured out who to shoot this promotional video?" ”

Minister Kondo thought for a moment and said, "This matter has not been decided yet. At present, there are several main plans, one plan is to find Janiss's idol group as a spokesperson to promote this matter, after all, Janis's idol is very popular among Japanese women, and with the help of influence, it can indeed play a good role in publicity. Another option is to find the current popular girl idol group AKB48 to shoot, after all, as the same young women, they will also have a good effect on publicity. Of course, there is another plan to find Nogizaka 46, who has just debuted recently, to shoot, but compared to Genesys and AKB48, this newly debuted group does not seem to have much advantage. ”

"Minister Kondo's words are wrong." Chiya shook her head, obviously with a different opinion on the matter, "You overlooked an important factor, and that is that one of the members of Nogizaka 46, Mai Shiraishi, was the victim of the last attack, and it was Officer Twilight who did his best to resist the killer who saved her life. If the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department had used this to promote it, it would have been even more effective. Because it reverses the bad image of the police's inability to protect people's safety. ”

The General Affairs Department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is mainly responsible for managing the various administrative tasks of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, so Minister Kondo is obviously not aware of this: "Is there any such an inside story here?" In that case, the Nogizaka 46 group also has their advantages. But in comparison, they don't have enough influence, right? ”

"No, I'm afraid you can't look at this matter that way, Minister Kondo." Chiya explained to Minister Kondo, "In fact, compared to these idol groups, becoming the image of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and participating in this filming is an expansion of their influence for them, rather than the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department using their influence to publicize." Of course, there will be some fans who pay attention to these promotions because of these idol groups, but more about the promotion of their own influence. Therefore, it is not the key that the selected groups are popular enough, but that the image of these groups does not conform to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's publicity plan. ”

"What Mr. Chiba said also makes sense, so let's think about it again." Obviously, Minister Kondo was moved by Chiya's words.
