I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 25 Act

"Yes, I'm staying at a classmate's house tonight."

"Yu-kun, Akihi-kun is here too, along with a few other female classmates."

At Nagisa Ichiyo's insistence, everyone decided to spend the night in this old-fashioned manor: the Akihi siblings were naturally free of any taboos, but class president Nao needed to call home to report.

"Yu-kun."

When the class monitor handed her the phone, Qiu Riyou took it and put it to her ear.

“It’s me, Aunt Yi’ai.”

"Yes, because of the earthquake in Arakawa Ward."

"Don't worry, it's safe here. I'll take good care of Nao."

The phone was returned to the class monitor, Nao. After listening to a couple of sentences, Nao's face suddenly turned bright red, and she hurriedly hung up the phone.

"Let's go inside, Yu."

Nervously pushing up her round-framed glasses, the usually gentle and generous class monitor lowered her head.

"Um,"

Qiu Riyou knew perfectly well why she was acting this way; it was because during the phone call earlier, the class monitor's mother, Aunt Yi'ai, had reminded her to be careful about contraception.
Should we say the aunt is open-minded? Or is she just carefree?

"What should I do next?"

Back in the piano room, Tennyo Eiryu, who had regained her usual liveliness, was deep in thought.

Come to think of it, this was the first time she had ever 'spent the night' with someone else. Before, it was just her and her grandfather at the shrine, and later it was just her all alone.

"At a time like this, it should naturally be a pajama party!"

Autumn Day Lei raised her index finger and made a suggestion.

"Then came the pillow fight."

Stare, X4
Faced with the gazes of four beautiful girls with different styles, Akihi Yu raised her hands high.

"I surrender, I withdraw."

"No, brother must stay."

Qiu Riqiong was the first to object; if her brother hadn't been holding her back, she wouldn't have wanted to go out at all.

As a typical delicate "homebody," her slender fingers constantly swiping across her phone screen are proof of her "internet addiction."

"Hehehe~~ Yu-kun, you'd better be ready!"

Tiannvying rubbed her hands together, looking eager to try.

"I also have quite a few men's pajamas at home, if Qiu Ri doesn't mind."

Several beautiful girls tried to persuade him to stay, their eyes brimming with barely concealed excitement. Akihi Yu stroked his chin.

"All right,"

Oh, it's alright, I can have four of them too.
Let's beat them up together!

It was a pillow fight.

My autumn leisure is no less than the population!
---

Just as the teenagers started their pillow fight, a young man emerged from the sewer, ready to begin his new day's work.

"Target appears!"

"Target detected, repeat once."

In the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's "Special Operations Conference Room," personnel intently watching the surveillance footage shouted.

Thousands of cameras, hastily installed in Adachi Ward and aimed at various manhole covers, captured a figure with a hood covering their face.

"The target is moving westward to Arai-cho, 2-chome."

"Based on the target's behavior pattern, it is highly likely that this outing was to hunt down a member of the 'Crippled Tooth Group' in 2-chome."

What Tanimura Watari thought was a secret operation was actually being watched closely by dozens of eyes in the distance. And the second 'scene' for him was being prepared in full swing—no, it should be said that it was already prepared, just waiting for him, the 'leading actor,' to take the stage.

When will our "collar" be in place?

"Staff are delivering the 'collar' to its destination, which is expected to arrive in ten minutes."

In order to "tie down" Tanimura Watari, the Metropolitan Police Department prepared dozens of plans, which were spread throughout the streets and alleys of Adachi Ward.

What about the 'dog food' situation?

"It is ready and can be started at any time."

"Based on the target's movement speed, it's necessary to slightly obstruct the target along the way."

"action!"

With a command from Director Takeshima
Several police officers appeared silently near Nishi-Arai-cho 3-chome and began patrolling as usual, recording license plates and issuing tickets.

?

Tanimura Watari, who could see the police from afar,

He pulled down his hood and, as expected, chose to take a detour.

At the intersection in front of Tanimura Ferry, the traffic lights have also quietly changed.

The red light waiting time has been extended from 70 seconds to 85 seconds, and the green light time has also become more limited.

However, for pedestrians looking down at their phones on both sides of the zebra crossing, this minor change goes unnoticed. As long as the streetlight color doesn't change, they continue scrolling on their phones.

These subtle changes, though seemingly insignificant, significantly slowed Tanimura's progress.

at the same time:

"Hey, Kengo."

"Come down quickly, I found a top-quality item in 3-chome."

A phone call landed at an agency in 3-chome that displayed a sign for "KEN ON." At first glance, it seemed like a long-established talent agency in Japan. But upon closer inspection, a small "e" would appear after the large "KEN ON."

Simply put, it's a knock-off product similar to "Kang Shuai Fu", "Qi Pi Hen", and "Lao Yu Ma".

"real or fake?"

A man wearing a pink suit, with a phone tucked under his shoulder, walked out of the office.

"You just walked past me; you should have been able to see it if you looked up."

The voice coming from the phone made the man look up, his eyes lighting up!
A young girl walked towards them. She had a traditional Hime hairstyle, her features were very defined, and her figure was petite yet curvaceous. Most importantly, the unpretentious purity she exuded touched the heart of the man in the suit.

Ever since he discovered that the first "older sister" he met had five "boyfriends" besides himself, he has been eager to drag innocent young girls into the fire!
"This lady,"

?

Startled by the sound that suddenly blocked her path, the girl stopped in her tracks.

"Let me introduce myself. I am a talent scout, and this is my business card."

A man dressed in a flashy pink suit and sporting a stylish hairstyle took out a gold-embossed business card from his pocket, handed it to the young woman in front of him, and pointed to the building next to him.

"Look, this is our office."

"KEN ON?"

The girl saw the sign next to her and covered her mouth with the back of her hand in surprise.

This is a long-established talent agency in Japan, which has been around for fifty years and has made countless stars famous. It is known as the "hall of fame for handsome men and beautiful women".

Moreover, due to its backing by the Sasakawa family, a powerful financial conglomerate, it is known for its wealth and generosity, and is very tolerant of entertainers.

It's an agency that countless trainees would kill to get into.

"Haha, it's just a branch office."

The man in the pink suit couldn't hide his smugness as he laughed. Dealing with these 'ordinary people' who were unaware of the details couldn't be easier. No girl could resist standing center stage and enjoying the spotlight.

"I think you have great potential and you're sure to shine on stage!"

"If you can pass the 'test' and join our company, becoming a world-renowned star isn't impossible. Don't forget me then~~"

After a series of promises, the girl seemed somewhat tempted.

The man in the pink suit seized the opportunity.

"Miss, would you like to come up for a cup of coffee?"

"After visiting our office, I believe your perspective will change significantly."

And so, the girl was led upstairs by the man, half-willingly, half-unwillingly. Passersby only glanced at her before turning their heads away. Those who lived on this street, of course, knew the main establishment of this "KEN ONE" shop.

Adult video production!
Abbreviation: .AV

Given the sexual attitudes of island nations, many high school students find partners.

Shooting adult videos is a normal 'job'. At most, you might feel a pang of regret that another beauty is about to be devoured by a pig.

That's Akemi
No, it's her?
At the other end of the street, Tanimura Watari, who witnessed all of this, frowned slightly.

Looking up at the sign, the young man who had once investigated yakuza organizations day and night immediately understood what had happened.

The AV industry harms young girls
Forget it, let's not meddle in other people's business.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Wait a minute,"

"This isn't a talent agency?"

In a room on the fifth floor, the girl backed away, her voice trembling as she questioned him.

"Hahaha!!"

"Who says this isn't a talent agency?"

The men in the room burst into laughter, lewdly replying as they took off their clothes.

"AV artists are still artists."

? !
The girl turned to run, but abruptly stopped.

The man in the pink suit leaning against the door was toying with a gleaming dagger.

"You...you can't do this! I'm calling the police!"

"Okay!"

"After we've had our fun, we'll send the videotape to your parents, teachers, and classmates. Then you can go ahead and call the police."

A man stripped down to his underwear and holding a camera chuckled coldly.

Regardless of whether the police can catch them,
The girl's future is over.

???

The threat in the other party's words was palpable!

The men surrounding her made the girl's face turn pale. She retreated again and again, and then, with a sharp pain in her back, she bumped into the wall of the room.

It’s over, it’s over, it’s over!
Faced with this situation,

All that remained in the heart of that young girl was despair.

"Help!"

"Hehehe, I love it when people don't cooperate~~"

The more you resist, the more excited we become!

Just as several men who had taken off their clothes, revealing tattoos all over their bodies, reached out to the girl, a cold wind blew from behind.

"what the hell?"

A cold wind blew by, and the tattooed man on the outermost edge, who had stripped naked, shivered and turned his head while cursing.

? !
A man wearing a hoodie jumped in through the window, which was the source of the cold wind he felt.

"who"

This is the fifth floor.

The thought had barely crossed his mind when the hooded man turned around and closed the window.

then:

brush,

In a flash, the figure appeared in front of the tattooed man.

噌、

His claws, capable of easily tearing flesh, extended, but after glancing at the girl surrounded by several men, Wataru Tanimura changed his claws and clenched his fist.

Bang!
He punched the tattooed man in front of him in the chest, the force of which caused a bulge to suddenly appear on the tattooed man's back.

"Who are you?!"

"court death--"

The noise caused the other tattooed men surrounding the girl to turn around.

Familiar yakuza terms slipped out, but what they faced was:
Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!
Within a second, several heavy punches were thrown.

The whistling fists struck their necks precisely.

Several yakuza members collapsed without uttering a sound, their necks twisted into terrifying angles.

"A monster?!"

The man in charge of photography gaped, yellow liquid dripping down his underwear.

Before he could make any other move, his vision abruptly shifted, and he was plunged into eternal darkness.

"Don't come any closer—"

The series of killings was succinct and efficient!
The man in the pink suit leaning against the door was initially stunned, then his expression changed drastically.

He raised his hand and threw the dagger at the hooded man who looked like a ghost, while grabbing the doorknob behind him with his other hand, preparing to run away.

brush,

In a flash, the other person had already rushed up to him at high speed.

He even had the leisure to retrieve the dagger halfway through and then thrust it forward.

Pfft

The dagger violently pierced the man in the pink suit's mouth, with the entire hilt penetrating deep inside.

He raised his hand to close the other person's terrified mouth, letting the corpse slowly slide down, and then turned around.

It's a long story, but actually, from the moment he broke in through the window, wreaked havoc, and killed the man in the pink suit, only a few seconds passed—the entire room was filled with corpses, except for:
"This is this"

A girl crouched in the corner, her head in her hands, tears welling in her eyes.

As Tanimura Wataru strode towards her, the girl's fearful face turned into one of surprise.

"It's you--"

Bang! !

A whooshing fist,
He interrupted the girl abruptly.
His trembling pupils looked to his side, and amidst the flying dust, a large hole was punched through the wall!
If it had been even slightly off-center, the girl would be the one exploding now.
The head!
"Where do you think this is?"

An angry question came rushing in, mixed with blood and murderous intent!
I told you to study hard, but you wouldn't listen!

"Dreaming of stardom, seeking thrills—in the end, aren't you the one who gets hurt?"

"Are you stupid? Do you think this society is all bright? Do you think everyone will treat you kindly?!"

"sorry Sorry sorry!"

Faced with a roar that seemed poised to tear him to shreds at any moment.

The girl squatting on the ground had a blank mind, and all that remained was an instinctive apology, or rather, a plea for mercy.

Looking at the trembling girl like a lamb, Tanimura Watari's anger came and went quickly.

What's wrong with you?
She's not Akemi, and the fault doesn't lie with her, it's with these beasts!
His gaze swept over the corpses in the hall. If he hadn't been afraid of frightening the girl, Tanimura Wataru would have already torn the yakuza apart with his bare hands, causing a bloodbath.

"Get up,"

He reached out and helped the girl up.

Seeing the girl swaying precariously and unable to stand, Wataru Tanimura had no choice but to pick her up with both hands.

"I'll walk you home."

"Don't come to places like this again, okay?"

"Um,"

Nestled in Tanimura Watari's arms, the girl answered softly.
