Episode.62 Turnaround

"Wait a minute, two over there."

The two men were stopped by a search officer carrying a suitcase.

The investigator smiled apologetically at the others and said, "I'm working, but it's a rare opportunity!" Please! In that case, signal that they can go first, and then they will catch up.

After letting his companion leave, the investigator walked towards the two men, and Hiiragi became instantly vigilant.

This investigator should not know that he is a meander, so what is the reason for stopping?

Hiiragi also subconsciously looked at Izumi Takatsuki on the side, probably because of this person...... As a result, the tension suddenly decreased a lot.

The inquisitor who came over took out a book from his bosom, the title of which was "The Egg of the Black Goat".

"I guess I'm not mistaken, am I? It's Mr. Takatsuki, right? I've been to Mr. Takatsuki's book signing before...... So ......"

"Oh, yes, this gentleman is also my reader, it's really a great honor, I didn't expect to be recognized."

"Mr. Takatsuki probably wants to go out on the street and relax.,I'm sorry to bother you.,But I didn't get an autograph that time.,That's it......"

"It's okay, my assistant will send me back anyway."

Who is the assistant, Hiiragi also looked at Izumi Takatsuki with a puzzled expression, but the person concerned patted Hiiragi on the shoulder.

"Get my signature pen out."

“…………”

I don't have that kind of thing!!

Hiiragi also calmed himself down after complaining in his heart, not showing his expression, and pointed to the convenience store not far away

"I forgot to bring it too. Mr. Takatsuki. Do you want to buy it now? ”

"Don't bother Your Excellency. I have a pen here, and I am really grateful to be able to get Mr. Takatsuki's wall signature. ”

The investigator who took out the pen had a big smile on his face.

He placed the box on the ground and respectfully handed the "Black Goat's Egg" and pen to Izumi Takatsuki.

Judging from his appearance, he is about twenty-five years old, which is still relatively young.

The hair is not long, and it is still flat-headed, so I guess he is usually a serious guy.

"I've signed it, please continue to support me in the future."

"Yes. Yes! ”

"Don't be so nervous, on the contrary, I'm a little nervous when I meet readers, and I recommend my new work "The Hanging Man's MacGuffin", I hope you can like it too."

"Of course! When you go back, you can show it to Hashibayashi and the other class, and show it off, that gentleman also likes Takatsuki-sensei's work. ”

"Second class Qiaolin?"

The investigator put the book and pen in his arms, and said apologetically as he lifted the box

"It's nothing, it's just a senior, a person who also likes Mr. Takatsuki's work, and he's usually very serious. But in fact, he is a gentle uncle. ”

With that, the investigator bent down to thank Izumi Takatsuki and left the scene.

Qiaolin second class. This reminded Hiiragi of the two investigators he had met earlier.

One of the investigators who hunted down the young mew was called 'Second Class Qiaolin' by the other investigator, and it was probably the same person as the 'Second Class Qiaolin' in the mouth of that investigator.

Watching the back of the investigator disappear at the end of the overpass, Hiiragi also sighed as he retracted his gaze.

The Inspector whom the young man admired was a rather violent and terrible-looking creature when dealing with meows.

Looking at his hands, the feeling of warm blood staining his hands has not been completely forgotten.

"What are you thinking?"

"Nothing...... But Mr. Takatsuki, you are really meticulous about humans, and you really deserve to be Mr. Takatsuki. ”

"I'm a writer now, and in order to sell my works in the future, I have to reach out to all kinds of readers, after all, different jobs will have different preferences, right?"

As the strongest mew, he wants to know about the investigator, although this idea is outrageous, but for Takatsuki Izumi, it is a matter of course.

Not to mention this, Hiiragi had just heard the conversation of the investigators, and thought that the 'that thing' in their mouths was referring to the 'owl'.

According to the normal progress of the plot, now the CCG has begun the [Antique Raid].

However, due to the previous actions of the Bronze Tree, the implementation of this operation was hindered, resulting in a delay.

"Just now...... Did Mr. Takatsuki hear their conversation? ”

"It's really careless, human beings just like to make mistakes so much, and try to make up for that mistake afterwards, obviously there is no chance to regret it......"

"The chance to repent...... All in all, the CCG will have a new operation in three days, and it will be sent to monitor. ”

"Yes, what kind of action will it be?"

Izumi Takatsuki, who jumped down the five-flight stairs like a child, steadied himself and bumped Hiiragiya on the shoulder when Hiiragiya came to her.

"Speaking of which, I don't know what your anomalous abilities are all about, what can I reveal?"

"Are you sure you want to know?"

Hiiragi also changed to a very serious tone, in fact, it was just a foreshadowing of his lies.

Faced with Hiiragi's words in such a tone, instead of flinching, Izumi Takatsuki became more interested.

"You don't have to think about it to know, that ability of yours must be something like a superpower, we who have physical abilities beyond human beings - meow species, and those who have extraordinary abilities are also human beings - Nangong Hiiragi."

"That's a bit of an exaggeration, if my ability is said to be a superpower, the power of the meow is the same......"

"Oh? So what is it exactly? ”

How should I say that? Even Hiiragi himself was very confused.

the ability to suddenly acquire one day;

an ability that suddenly awakens one day;

Either way, it doesn't apply to Hiiragi, after all, the ability of 'reading archives', or 'cutting time', is different from those gifts.

There is a price to pay for using abilities, but superpowers and magic do not need to pay a serious price for Hiiragi.

Of course, the latter, i.e., magic, is not the large-scale, world-changing magic.

"Then let's discuss this issue."

"No need, Takatsuki-sensei, there is nothing to discuss about my ability at all, and there is no need to discuss it, I can tell you the truth of my ability in the simplest language now."

"Oh? If you lie, I'll tear your body open, and whatever you do to me, or to the scientist, I'll do what this speech provides." ”

“…… It's terrifying. ”

Tearing other people's bodies as an 'obligation' is really Takatsuki Izumi's style.

"My ability is to make 'cuts.'"

"It's very similar, but exactly?"

Hiiragi thought about it and snapped his fingers.

"It's just to think of an object that exists as long as it uses its ability to crack, and to think of it as a sharp blade."

All in all, keep making up lies. (To be continued.) )
