I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 5 Diversion of sight
"The stew doesn't taste right today."

In the somewhat empty living room, the two siblings ate their meal as if nothing was wrong. Qiu Riqiong put down her chopsticks and commented on today's dinner.

"Hmm, it seems so."

Even with a wealth of cooking memories in her mind, Akihi Yu still needs some time to familiarize herself with the dishes before she can recreate their familiar flavors.

However, in Qiu Riqiong's view, there were other reasons.

"Brother, are you... alright?"

In my memory, the girl would not usually call me "Onii-chan".

Because the two were extremely familiar with each other, and there was no third person in the house.

But if Akihisa hadn't suddenly unleashed her "divine power" today, a certain "restricted" scene would undoubtedly have unfolded. Their futures would have been completely ruined!
"What could be the problem?"

"Don't worry, I will take care of it."

Putting down her chopsticks, Qiu Riyou calmly stood up.

"Next, I need to go out for a while."

Those four scumbags have been buried alive dozens of meters underground.

Even if Sherlock Holmes, Shinichi Kudo, and Kindaichi were all gathered together, they would be completely baffled, let alone ordinary police officers.

But Akihi Yu isn't the type to sit around waiting for trouble to come to him, so he decided to take the initiative.

"Sora, why don't you go to Nao's house for a visit?"

Class monitor Iai Nao's house is no more than fifty meters away from Akihi's house as the crow flies.

The three of them used to be childhood friends, but later, for some reason, Nao and Sora had a falling out.

"I do not want!"

As expected, the girl shook her head and refused without even thinking.

"I'm not going anywhere if my brother has to deal with those guys."

Qiu Riqiong is no child. As a top student at the Royal Sakura Girls' School, she has already guessed what her brother is planning to do.

Dispose of the body!

The girl was unaware of the existence of 'ninjutsu'. In Akihi Sora's mind, her brother had temporarily hidden those guys in the yard and was sure he would destroy them.

Leaving aside the guy named Yamamoto and the thug who kidnapped his brother, the bald giant whose lower body was trampled to pieces and the thug whose brain was stabbed with a dagger are most likely dead.

As for why the older brother could dominate the battlefield and why he could unleash his power for his younger sister, do we need a reason?

"I can help too—"

Suddenly standing up, Qiu Riqiong looked at Qiu Riyou with a serious expression.

“We are accomplices.”

"It's a very kind gesture,"

"But with your skinny arms and legs, you should leave the physical work to me."

Qiu Riyou waved his hand, not to mention that he had already disposed of the body; what followed was completely 'unsuitable for children'.

"Then, I'm going out."

"be careful."

With her younger sister's words of advice, Qiu Riyou stepped out of the house.

"Next,"

As it took a step forward, its body suddenly shrank, and as it crawled down, black fur spread out, replacing its clothes.

"Meow~~"

It shook its neck, revealing tiny sharp teeth.

Although it's a bit inconvenient, let's just move on like this.

Having made up her mind, Akihi Yu, who had transformed into a jet-black kitten, nimbly leaped onto the wall and sped off southward.

Rank E Ninja Art: Transformation Technique
As one of the most basic 'Three Body Techniques',

Although this technique is only at the E-rank, it is a powerful tool for countless classic comeback tactics!
It is an important ninjutsu, whether in battle, espionage, or when luring the enemy.

The Crown Prince once transformed himself into the 'Wind Demon Shuriken' and took advantage of his opponent's carelessness to break Zabuza's Water Prison Technique.

Qiu Riyou transformed himself into a black cat, speeding along rooftops and walls while carefully dodging the ubiquitous cameras: it was precisely because he knew the power of modern technology that he had to act with even greater caution.

Killing someone in a fit of rage might feel satisfying, but if the police come knocking, it's bound to be trouble, so Akihi Yuu—

Let's find something for the police in Tokyo to do!

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.

When it comes to Tokyo's sex industry,
Almost everyone would think of 'Shinjuku Kabukicho'.

In particular, the 'Tokyo Kabukicho Tower', which was completed just a year ago, is a 225-meter-tall mixed-use commercial building that includes hotels, cinemas, restaurants, and entertainment facilities. It welcomes tourists from all over the world and will not let you leave the house without emptying your wallet and body.

However, not everyone is willing to spend money in such places, and naturally, Adachi Ward also has its own 'Kabukicho'.

Takenotsuka Town
This neighborhood is located in the northern part of Adachi Ward, a truly 'remote area'.

Rather than being in Tokyo, it's more accurate to say it's closer to Saitama, the 'suburban elder brother'.

There's no dazzling cityscape here, no mouthwatering culinary temptations, and no so-called historical depth. But the pedestrian street is lined with suggestive love hotels, places where countless Tokyo men release their desires.

A brothel?
No, no, no, we just provide a place for our guests to 'date'.

Since they are lovers, doing that kind of thing is legal and reasonable; as for how long this 'love' lasts, who cares after we've pulled up our pants?
Compared to the elegantly dressed and well-spoken hostesses in high-end Ginza clubs, there are no complicated procedures here. After meeting and exchanging money, it's all about one thing:

Dry!
But that doesn't mean there aren't any skyscrapers here; a brand-new building in 2-chome is quite impressive.

The huge sign for "Disabled Teeth Financial Company" was pasted on a fifth-floor window, with a telephone number and a logo of a bespectacled, suited elite behind the text.

Although it looks very formal and impressive, the people who 'work' here are not just ordinary office workers.

"I heard that you collected Watanabe's debt the day before yesterday?"

"Well, it took a lot of effort. One person was put on the ship, and the other sold his house and barely managed to pay off his debts."

At the building entrance, two men with open suits, revealing floral shirts, walked into the building talking about work. However, the nature of their work caused passersby to detour: if the building weren't located on a major thoroughfare, local residents wouldn't even bother passing by.

what?
Do yakuza organizations provide disaster relief and assistance?

Stop joking, nobody's going to take this as a joke, right?
The reason why the disabled tooth group did not target ordinary people in this area was primarily because they were poor.

The second reason is:

"This month, the Metropolitan Police Department has given us trouble three times."

In an office on the eighth floor of the building, a man in a striped suit put down his coffee cup.

Judging solely from the simple yet elegant furnishings of the office, as well as the man's clothing and appearance, it would be hard to believe that this refined middle-aged man is none other than the 'leader' of the Defective Teeth Group: Inoue Suga.

"I have repeatedly emphasized that violence is a last resort."

The man who put down his coffee extended his index finger and adjusted his elegant gold-rimmed glasses. "Don't use it lightly,"

"Yes!"

In front of the team leader sitting behind his desk was an organization cadre who was extremely apprehensive and bowed at a ninety-degree angle.

Behind the cadre, his two underlings were also sweating profusely, wishing they could also bow ninety degrees so they could pretend not to see him.

The two henchmen were still standing because they needed to support a young man.

"Young man, why are you doing this?"

Inoue Suga, behind his desk, looked at the bruised and battered young man and questioned him in a calm tone.

“We are a legal ‘designated violent group’. Your repeated calls to the police and your causing us trouble are making things very difficult for us.”

"brute."

The young man, supported by his two underlings, struggled to open his swollen eyelids, his teeth grinding together.

"You...you killed Mingmei! I...I will never forgive you!"

"Hey, little buddy."

Leaning back in his executive chair, wearing a striped suit, a red tie, and gold-rimmed glasses, Inoue Suga crossed his fingers.

“Speaking nonsense can lead to a ‘defamation’ charge.”

“I am also very sorry about the death of your sister Mingmei. It is heartbreaking for the boss to lose such a ‘diligent’ employee.”

"livestock--"

Bang!
The cadre from the disabled teeth group turned around and slammed his fist into the young man's face, interrupting his words, and blood splattered out.

"Young man, it seems you've misunderstood."

Pushing up his gold-rimmed glasses, the refined-looking leader of the 'Disabled Teeth Group' behind his desk spoke again.

“I really hate violence, and I’m also very grateful to the old man for sending me to Kyoto University to study law.”

"Your sister came to my shop to play and then decided to 'work' there. I've never withheld a single penny from her wages or benefits; I even paid for their health insurance."

"Pooh!"

A blood-stained tooth was spat onto the desk by the young man, leaving a long trail of blood, just like his sister's leap.

"Shut up, you beast!"

"You lured Mingmei to the bar, got her drunk, and then..."

After mastering the process of taking photos and videos, the young girl, who dared not face her family, swallowed her anger and gradually became more and more involved, eventually becoming an employee of the 'brothel'.

"You even got her addicted to drugs!"

The young man, who was being held on both sides, suddenly struggled, veins bulging on his neck, as if he wanted to pounce on the guy in front of him and bite him to death!

In just two short years, the once youthful girl, through indulgence, transformed into a monster that young people dared not recognize.

Even after her mother was so angered that she severed ties with her, Tanimura Watari, who was studying away from home, did not give up on her younger sister. She sought help from the police and arranged for her to undergo compulsory drug rehabilitation, hoping that her sister could one day start a new life.

however--

He still underestimated the power of poison.

"Such a well-behaved Akemi, such a timid Akemi"

Once the addiction kicks in, she transforms into a mad, monstrous figure, begging her brother, Tanimura Wataru, with tears and snot streaming down her face. She'd do anything for just one more hit! She'd even try to seduce him, just to get another, just one more hit.
In the end, no miracle occurred. In her lucid moments, the girl ultimately chose to jump from the rooftop, ending her endless torment.

Even for police officers and soldiers with willpower as strong as steel, there are almost no successful cases of drug addiction treatment!
How could a timid girl possibly do that?

"What a pity, but—"

Faced with the young man's tearful and furious rebuke, the man behind the desk calmly asked a question in return.

"What does it have to do with me?"

? !
"What's wrong with working in my shop? You can make money while lying down."

"Everything I provide is high-purity. Making money in the store and spending it there—isn't that great?"

"Beast! You beast!!"

Faced with the righteous and outspoken Inoue Suga, the young man Tanimura Wataru had no other recourse but to hurl insults.

After Akemi's death, he tried every means to expose the darkness of the "Crippled Tooth Group," but with little success. Now, he has been directly arrested by the impatient "Crippled Tooth Group," otherwise, as a college dropout, he wouldn't even be able to set foot in this building.

Desperately?

What to fight for?

Fighting a handgun with a kitchen knife?!

"I'll haunt you even as a ghost—"

"ghost?"

Team leader Inoue seemed to have heard a joke.
"Sorry, this world is based on science, and the kind of self-deceptive delusions of the weak have never existed."

After saying that, the man named Inoue Suga's face darkened.

"I won't let you get away with this!"

"Pour this thing into cement and dump it into Tokyo Bay."

An ordinary person gets angry, but only for a moment.

How could one possibly hope to fight against an yakuza organization that outnumbers them a hundredfold in terms of numbers, equipment, and power?
"Yes!" X3
The team leader gave the order, and the three members of the disabled tooth team obeyed in unison, preparing to drag this blind guy out and deal with him.

Unless a body is found, the police can only treat it as a missing person case at most. Besides—

In the case of the Tanimura family, no one reported it to the police, and no case was even filed.

"Go."

With a wave of his hand, Inoue Suga ignored the young loser's wailing and buried himself in a document, pondering where to find replacement 'staff'.

He was truly heartbroken by 'Mingmei's' death: she was clearly a money-printing machine that could still be 'used' for several more years, but because of her naive brother, she tried to escape the control of drugs?

What a joke! As the team leader, Inoue Suga's hidden criterion for selecting executives is that they must not have used drugs!

Inoue Suga knew all too well how destructive that thing could be to a person's mind.

"Ok?"

The sound of footsteps returning interrupted Inoue Suga's thoughts.

"You're here—?!"

The group leader of the residual teeth group, who had been looking up in dissatisfaction, was stunned because:

At the entrance to his office, a series of women, their heads bowed, their faces obscured by long hair, and dressed in tattered clothes, filed in, causing the three team members to back away.

Hell?
