King, gold, silver, horn, speed, step, gold.

The internal title of the Warrior Organization, codenamed after the chess pieces of shogi.

The ministerial commander of each ministry is the king;

The person who assists the minister in completing the work of an assistant is [gold];

The person in charge of medical care and the development of sonic weapons and disc gods, etc., is [Silver];

The ghost who fights the demonic dragon on the front line is [horn];

The supporter of the on-site auxiliary ghost is [Flying Car];

Investigators who set up survey points throughout the country and are responsible for surveying the meteorological environment, drawing maps, collecting data, and assisting the warriors in organizing activities are [step];

The disciple of the ghost is [Chengjin].

Based on this standard, it can be known that the person Tachibana Sejiro was going to take Woz to meet at this time was the leader of the Warrior Organization who held one of the highest-ranking [kings] at the Yoshino headquarters.

"In that case, let's ask Minister Tachibana to lead the way."

With a sure smile on his face, Woz got up confidently, straightened the gray scarf he was wearing around his neck, picked up the Demon Advent Calendar that was placed on the table in front of him, and followed Tachibana to the outside of the office without the slightest hesitation.

The door opens, the door closes.

……

Dining area.

As soon as Tachibana Shijiro lifted the short curtain and walked out, he was discovered by the two sisters Tachibana Kasumi and Tachibana Hinata Ka, who had been waiting anxiously.

"Daddy!"

Looking at Tachibana Shiro, who walked out of the house one step ahead of Woz, they immediately ran forward and shouted in unison.

"I'm fine."

Knowing what his two daughters were worried about, Tachibana smiled at them and nodded, reassuring them.

"Don't worry, Mr. Watts came with good intentions."

"That's ......"

Without saying believe it or not, Tachibana Kasumi quickly changed the question.

"Are you going out?" She asked, looking at Tachibana, who had already changed into her shop clothes.

"Well, I'll take Mr. Watts to Yoshino." Tachibana replied.

"Yoshino!?"

Hearing this, Kasumi Tachibana and Hinata Tachibana couldn't help but show a look of surprise on their faces.

"Now?"

"Is it just going to go?"

"Yes, go now."

In the face of the inquiries sent by Tachibana Kasumi and Tachibana Hinaka successively, Tachibana nodded again and gave them an affirmative response.

"The situation is urgent, and you know the situation of the serpent...... If even what we know today is only a symptom of another crisis, then we really don't have time to hesitate. ”

Tachibana explained with a serious expression.

"I will complete the application on my mobile phone on the road, as for the details, the stakes are very high, and I need to report to the leader in person......

Just then, the door was pushed open and someone walked in through the door.

Tachibana stopped talking and looked at the door of the store with the Tachibana sisters.

"Heavenly Ghost ......"

The person who came was Tian Meijing, who had previously decided on the phone to return to the store.

"If that's ......"

Muttering to himself in a low voice, Tachibana moved his gaze and looked behind Tian Meijing, and sure enough, he saw the member of the History Bureau named Gates in Tian Meijing's report.

At the same time, Kasumi Tachibana and Hinata Tachibana also realized this and looked at Gates at the same time.

A black costume that is easy to exercise, the whole body is covered with red lines like a blood-painted suit, and he wears a simple strap armor, and his whole body exudes a vicious aura that no one can enter...... Unlike Wads, who appeared in front of Tachibana as a diplomat, Gates, who is not smiling and has a vicious look in his eyes, knows that he is not easy to mess with.

Tachibana thought to himself: I understand, it seems that the Heavenly Ghost encountered a martial arts faction that was in charge of fighting in that mysterious organization, no wonder it was so strong.

Thinking like this, Tachibana was the first to speak to Gates, "Welcome. ”

Then, he said to Tian Meijing: "Heavenly ghost, you take Mr. Gates to visit our underground studio, is there anything that needs to ......be arranged?"

He turned his head to look around and continued, "...... Let's talk about it with the incense. ”

"Yes." Tian Meijing took the order.

At the same time, Tachibana Kasumi nodded to Amami, indicating that she would cooperate with her.

Then, Tachibana turned back and said to Woz, "Mr. Wads, do you need to give you and your companions some time alone?" ”

Woz shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't be so troublesome, we all have our own responsibilities, he just needs to know that my mission is going well." ”

Each performs its own duties and does not interfere with each other, it seems that the functional structure of that mysterious organization is very strictly divided, generally, only large organizations will do this, and small organizations are basically capable people who work more, and one person wears multiple positions and does everything, which is a common phenomenon.

This thought flashed through his mind, and Tachibana nodded and replied, "Since that's the case, let's go." ”

As soon as the words fell, Tachibana had just turned around when he heard two sounds of striking flint behind him.

Tachibana Shiro turned around in surprise and saw Hinata Tachibana, who had left here earlier, standing behind with a flint and steel in her hand, and said to him, "Be careful on the road!" ”

Hearing this, Tachibana's face suddenly couldn't help but outline a warm smile.

[In this way, it turns out that Hinata Jia left just now to fetch the flint.] ]

In the old days, when a traveler was about to leave the house, his family would take two flints and struck them on the traveler's back several times to pray for the traveler's misfortune and safety.

To this day, the Warrior Organization continues this tradition.

Each time the oni goes on an expedition, the supporters perform a ritual of striking flints for them.

Tachibana Shijiro looked at Tachibana Hinaka and responded with a relieved smile, "Ah, I'm leaving." ”

With that, he turned around, nodded to the others, and strode away, his back straight, his steps firm.

At this moment, Woz clearly felt that those negative emotions such as pessimism had decreased in Tachibana's body.

At this moment, he set out with a beautiful hope for the future......

Realizing this, Wads couldn't help but chuckle and thought, "I really want my Demon King to see this scene too."

He felt that if it was His Majesty the Demon King, he would definitely be pleased by this situation.

Then, Wox lifted his heel to Tachibana's footsteps.

During this time, he and Gates only made eye contact once.

During the eye contact, neither the expressionless Gates nor the smiling Wolds spoke, but just passed by wordlessly.

After that, one goes outward and one inward.

Tachibana Hinata came to Gates' side and naturally asked, "Are you not on good terms?" ”

Gates replied without hesitation: "It's really not good." ”

Listening to the undisguised disgust in Gates's tone, Hinata Tachibana was puzzled.

"So how can you still work together?"

Hearing this question, Gates was silent for a long time, and replied like this.

"For the king wants us to be so."

……

……

At the same time, on the edge of the Kanto region, on the summit of the main peak of Mt. Ibuki, Tsuneiwa Shogo, who was overlooking the sea of evil mist underground, and calculated the limit of its edge, suddenly raised his eyebrows, looked up, and looked in the direction where the Tokyo Tachibana dessert shop was located, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose in a mocking manner.

"Oh roar~~"
