I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 313 Qiongmei's Bizarre Adventure

"report!"

"Two humanoid superhuman beings have appeared in the skies above Bunkyo Ward!"

"The two were dressed in matching black outfits with red clouds, wearing straw hats, and riding a white Western dragon."

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department headquarters, located in Chiyoda Ward, received a report from the front lines: Bunkyo Ward is now home to tens of thousands of troops, a large number of high-tech personnel, and a massive construction company, making it the second most heavily guarded area in Tokyo.

Information about the two mysterious figures who swaggered across the sky appeared on Director Zhuya's desk immediately.

This outfit
"Don't worry about him."

The director, who had seen the black robe with red clouds at someone's house, waved his hand.

The scroll-shaped 'explosive blade' sits next to the desk, ready to blast enemies apart with a swing—though it has yet to be used in actual combat.

However, the director didn't have the ability to be in two places at once, so he could only continue to bury himself in his work.

As for the skies above Bunkyo Ward:

Our school

"Look, those ruins over there are them."

Standing atop the white 'dragon', the 'mysterious person' wearing a fox mask under a straw hat—that is, Xiao Ying—gave a sharp breath.

"Isn't it?"

In the battle between Abe and Yu, the poor "Royal Sakura Girls' School" was swept away by lightning and sword winds; not to mention the traces of the former buildings, only a few huge craters remained on the original site; if it weren't for Sora looking at satellite and aerial photos every day and being very familiar with the terrain, she wouldn't have been able to point it out.

"That's normal. You weren't involved in that big battle. By the way, you were dancing at the time, so you didn't witness it."

It was because Xiaoying used the 'Kagura Dance' to borrow the power of the Divine Tree that Yu's strength surged to the Dragon level, enabling him to defeat Abe no Seimei.

In addition, Xiaoying is one of Qiongmei's few friends, so Qiongmei used her creation to bring her out to play: if it were some fierce 'fox spirit', she would definitely kick her away!
"What horrific destruction!"

Standing on the back of the white dragon, Xiao Ying's wooden clone looked around.
A massive crater, crystallized buildings, endless ruins, and sword marks stretching to the horizon.

It's hard to believe that this place was once the educational center of an island nation, home to 15 universities, 28 high schools, 31 junior high schools, and 25 elementary schools.

Countless construction vehicles, each the size of a matchbox, are busy below. In today's fast-paced world, with 24-hour shifts and high-intensity construction, much of the rubble has been cleared, and even the outlines of new buildings are already standing in Bunkyo Ward.

"That's the Tokyo Metropolitan Higher School of Jujutsu,"

Pointing to the cluster of buildings that had already taken shape, Qiong Mei introduced the 'hoarse, mysterious man' clay clone she controlled.

“占地40公顷，预计设立10个学部、15个研究生院；同时拥有11个附属研究机构、14个咒术研究中心和3个特别研究所。”

"It's practically the new University of Tokyo!"

Qiongmei responded to Xiaoying's sentiments with a hint of pride.

"It's not just the University of Tokyo, it's the number one extraordinary academy in the island nation, no, the world."

Because the principal is the older brother!

"What a pity~~ We can no longer go to school."

The mysterious woman in the fox mask shook her head and sighed; their identities already destined them to be strangers to 'ordinary people'.

"You can use clones to play then."

Qiong Mei was already prepared for this question.

Although she is used to staying at home, since Yu is going to be the principal, she will use her clone to be a student!

"yes,"

Xiaoying also realized that with this clone, she would be able to leave the shrine.

Even returning to school wouldn't be a bad idea.

"Xiao Qiong is still the best to me~~"

"Where is Yiye?"

Qiongmei thought of Xiaoying's younger sister: Nagisa Ichiyo.

Haven't seen her lately?

"Because Ichiyo has been very busy lately and hasn't had time to come to the shrine."

When this question came up, Xiaoying sighed helplessly.

"You know, rice prices have gone up recently."

On the one hand, due to the extraordinary disaster of the "evil spirits' roaming," many remote areas of the island nation have been occupied by evil spirits, resulting in insufficient agricultural production; on the other hand, the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage in the Pacific Ocean and the "falling out" with America have led to a significant reduction in the amount of food shipped from Brazil.

This has led to a 60% increase in rice prices in some areas, and many supermarkets have sold out of bagged rice.

If you didn't know better, you'd think it was some kind of famine.

"But this is only temporary,"

"With modern technology, and with the help of Xiaobai's offspring using magic to accelerate ripening, these food shortages will soon be filled."

Given the current level of technological development, it would be bizarre if people still starved to death. Moreover, America is currently preoccupied with its own civil war, the island nation has a significant influence in Brazil, and the Nine-Tailed Fox's forces have been compressed into southern Philippines by the Sea Kingdom.

A massive amount of food from South America will soon be transported here in exchange for the island nation's extraordinary medicine.

A single extraordinary potion can be exchanged for the grain of an ocean-going freighter.

After all, it's still the same old saying—

It's a seller's market now.

Brazil is the 'leading brother' of South America, but that's only in South America;

Behind the claim of being undefeated for 200 years was an army with almost no combat experience.

Sending troops to hunt demons in southern Africa is far beyond their capabilities. Even so, Brazil's multi-purpose aircraft carrier, the Atlantic, is also heading towards African waters, ostensibly for humanitarian relief, but everyone knows what it's really up to.

However, their 'Guarani wheeled' armored personnel carrier, which emphasizes economy and practicality, has already become a bestseller in the northern islands of the Philippines.

Cheap and durable, it's sure to sell like hotcakes!

The demon has neither radar positioning nor the ability to lay anti-tank mines;

Many high-tech products designed for modern weapons are nothing short of a burden there.

"Let's go check out the waters off the coast of Filipinos."

"Okay~~"

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.

Non-professional waters,
This place is in complete chaos.

It was even more chaotic than when the Nine-Tails' forces were rampaging.

At that time, all the survivors only had one thing to think about: how to escape.

But things are different now. Major powers are acting in the name of the nation, as are small countries that are subordinate to these powers, along with a large number of private armed forces and mercenaries. These forces are scattered across the non-governmental northern island nation, and at any moment, they are constantly clashing and engaging in passionate battles.

At the national and institutional level, if another superhuman is added to another's group, it means that one less superhuman is added to one's own group. As the saying goes, "not gaining is losing."

Down to the ordinary soldier: What? That bastard found something good! Kill him! The treasure is mine!

Human nature dictates that genuine cooperation is impossible.

Especially after the Sea Kingdom swiftly defeated the Nine-Tailed Fox forces, the lost-leader monsters, synthetic beasts, and even the 'Extraordinary Pearls' that fell into these areas became targets of contention among various forces.

Tuggalao,

In this city where there are no civilians left, a chase is unfolding.

Buzzing

Amidst the hum of the four propellers,

The combat drone, codenamed 'Falcon,' nimbly navigated between buildings, its machine gun locked onto targets by the pilot behind it.

Ta-ta-ta-ta! ! !

A 20mm armor-piercing round landed on the ground, kicking up a plume of dust like waves, and relentlessly pursued the armored personnel carrier speeding ahead. This was a 'Guarani wheeled' armored personnel carrier; while its armor wasn't enough to withstand a 20mm autocannon, it wasn't entirely helpless—

Da da da da da!!!
The UT-30BR model 30mm remote-controlled weapon station mounted on the roof automatically steers, and the 30mm electric ATK cannon spews dense bullets diagonally backward, forming two long metal whips in the air as it sweeps towards the enemy.

boom!
As the ammunition belt swept across the drone in the air, the high-tech creation codenamed 'Falcon' immediately tilted to one side.

Amidst billowing smoke, the drone began an emergency landing.

One of the propellers was damaged, but with the modular design of modern weapons, it can fly again simply by replacing the damaged parts.

The 'Guarani wheeled' armored personnel carriers, having also taken a hit, were all focused on the 'Falcon' drones behind them; they failed to notice a figure speeding towards them from a nearby high-rise building, spitting out:
"Water breaks the waves!"

The high-pressure water jet was sprayed out by this superhuman, comparable to a high-pressure cutting water gun mixed with diamond powder;
As the figure flicked its head and swept past, although it did not tear the armor apart on the spot, it damaged six tires on one side of the armored vehicle.

The armored vehicle, having lost its balance, spun around and left long scorch marks on the ground before crashing heavily into a shop next to the street.

"Hahahaha~~"

"Run! Why did you stop running?!"

As the armored vehicle went out of control, half of its body crashed into the shop, and several figures leaped between the buildings in pursuit; from their scales, dorsal fins, and sharp teeth, it was easy to see that they were the 'specialty' of this sea area: the Sea Kingdom.

"You stole from our 'Teach Pirates' and you think you can just leave?"

"dream!"

Thump,

Almost simultaneously with these arrogant voices approaching at high speed,

The rear door of the armored vehicle was kicked open, and several burly men in military uniforms carrying heavy firearms flew out.

Even in mid-air, they had already aimed at the direction from which the sound came and pulled the trigger; such agility must belong to E-level—that is, weak dog-level superhumans.

but:

slap slap slap,

What the bullets pierced were not flesh and blood, but bubbles!
? !
Oops--

Before they even landed, the leading sergeant's pupils contracted, knowing that their last stand had failed.

"Hahaha~~"

“Your struggles are meaningless in the face of my ‘sound storage bubble’.”

The voice came from behind these burly men in military uniforms; clearly, they had been misled by the enemy's capabilities.

The next second, a surging torrent of water came from behind! The enormous impact caused these fully armed superhuman soldiers to stagger and slam them against the building opposite.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

“Woo~!!”

Their backs slammed heavily against the building, shattering the walls and rendering these 'weak dog' level superhuman soldiers incapable of fighting.

If it were an ordinary soldier, he would have been killed on the spot; instead, he is still groaning and struggling like this.

However, after being swept away by the current and left completely disoriented, they were not far from death.

brush--

A long whip of water came whistling through the air. With a single lash, the rapidly spinning water sliced ​​through butter like a hot knife through butter, slicing the head off a superhuman soldier who had torn off a defensive grenade and was trying to resist.

Water Release: Water Whip

In the Naruto world, it is a ninjutsu that the Hidden Mist Village's Anbu (Anbu) frequently uses.

Its ease of use, stealth, and ability to bind enemies make it ideal for infiltration and assassination.

At the same time, its power is also quite remarkable: when used by the elite members of the Kirigakure's ANBU, it can even shatter Yamato's Wood Release, and it can also be used in conjunction with Lightning Release.

This Sea Kingdom soldier, who had consumed the 'Extraordinary Pearl' twice, could whip a light armored vehicle with his water whip, let alone a mere weak dog-level extraordinary soldier—there are differences even among extraordinary beings.

"Fake!"

Witnessing his colleague's death, the leading uniformed sergeant cursed angrily.

"You are provoking the Commonwealth of Nations."

brush,

The whip formed by the flowing water spun and swept past the sergeant.

A bloodied arm flew into the air.

"Shut up! Who have we, the Teach Pirates, ever been afraid of?!"

The superhuman wielding the water whip crippled the struggling superhuman soldiers as he struck, then tilted his head to let another companion into the armored vehicle.

The superhuman next to him strode into the armored vehicle, followed by gunfire, curses, and explosions before silence returned.

"No,"

The superhuman, who was completely clean, stepped out and shook his head.

"Tell me, where is the thing hidden?"

The superhuman wielding a long whip of flowing water stepped forward and stomped on the chest of the one-armed military officer.

"Tell me, and I can give you a chance to join us."

"Pooh!"

His response was a mouthful of blood.

He tilted his head to dodge, but a few drops of blood still splattered onto his cheek.

This attack caused absolutely no physical harm, but it was extremely humiliating, enraging the superhuman who swung the water whip again.

puff,

As the water whip swept past, the other arm also left the uniformed sergeant.

"Hahahaha, come on, pirates!"

"You maggots of the sea, the Royal Navy will bury you completely—ah!!!"

The superhuman, who had stepped between the legs of a uniformed sergeant and crushed one of his organs into dust, had a face so dark it seemed to drip water.

"You think you can die more easily by angering me?"

"I'm going to hang you alive on the mast and let the crows eat you piece by piece!"

In ancient times, crows were considered a symbol of bad luck because they ate carrion and were often found in war-torn regions. For crows, this was simply part of the natural cycle, but for the people who were pecked at, the thought of it was terrifying.

"Come on, pirates!"

"Hmph, I'm not a member of the Royal Navy!"

The uniformed sergeant, whose arms had been cut off and whose genitals had been trampled to pieces, was desperate: either way he was going to die, so what was there to be afraid of?
Moreover, he did this not merely to provoke them, but to protect the extraordinary items they had acquired—

A bone,
The bones of a snake's skull: bones possessing extraordinary power.

Although we don't know what this bone is for, there is no doubt that it contains a huge amount of 'spiritual energy'.

In this era of fierce competition, if England wants to become great again, it must summon the courage it once had in battles across the seas:
"Holy one, King of the Victors; may your scepter guide us on our path forward."

Knowing there was no chance of escaping,
The sergeant lying in a pool of blood sang a prayer.

"Ha, you've got some backbone, huh?!"

Just as the Teach Pirates superhuman, wielding a long water whip, was considering how to torture this guy, a sudden rustling sound came from all around, making him turn around alertly.

snake?
snake! !

Like a tidal wave of venomous snakes,

They suddenly appeared from all directions!
Streets, buildings, in the sky, underground, boundless and endless.
