Why did the Shadow Master follow a little girl to the next house, and then those three people chased after him?
The most outrageous thing wasn't that he chased after her, but that his mother acted like nothing had happened and just came out carrying a plastic bag.
Lord Shadow, where is the other person?
Then the sound of ambulance sirens began to ring out in the distance.
Soon everyone here was sent away, and the Metropolitan Police Department arrived.
No? Where is he? Stop hiding, Shadow Master, come out now.
Don't you come at 12 o'clock every March, eat and leave at 2 o'clock?
Then the group waited until dawn the next day.
Nothing happened, but they had to admit one thing.
Lord Shadow, it seems... he's gone?!
Upon discovering this, their first reaction was... ecstasy!
If they weren't all so old and frail, we would have loved to pop up some champagne and celebrate right there.
They exhibited a very strange behavior: before the thing arrived, they were respectful and obedient, calling each other "adult," but after the thing disappeared, they almost celebrated.
If Kerry and the others saw this scene, they would probably be just as confused as the old man with the giant shark.
But after their initial joy, they became somewhat apprehensive.
But now that the shadows are gone, how are they going to get back into the house?
"Now that the Shadow Lord has disappeared, will the Buddha Mother blame her?"
After her initial joy, an elderly woman spoke with a hint of apprehension.
Her words extinguished the cheerful atmosphere.
"This……"
Everyone present was filled with worry.
"Then why don't we try to invite the Buddha Mother here?"
The old man who was leading the group suddenly made a gesture as if he had an idea.
However, they were unaware that the three of them had already noticed the problem.
“Look, the surveillance footage shows that the old man actually lived on this street that day. It seems he had a shop on Akabane Toyoko Ichiban Street.”
Kirito pointed to the street surveillance camera and explained to the two of them.

Chapter 109 You said there's a possibility.
The next morning, Toyokawa Shoko, who had taken the day off, returned home with her father.
Everyone has come back.
As the only eyewitness in theory, she reported the incident to the Metropolitan Police Department very seriously, stating that a supernatural event must have occurred. However, she omitted the presence of the three Kerrys from the story, only saying that the shadow disappeared naturally after she hit it with a bottle.
The Metropolitan Police Department stated that she was too tired and took the initiative to arrange a two-week leave of absence for her in Tsukimori. They also wrote a letter of thanks to the school, saying that Toyokawa Shoko had made significant contributions during the mass attack on the new hallucinogenic gas in the apartment, responding intelligently and reporting the incident to the police in a timely manner. The Metropolitan Police Department will definitely crack down on such cases severely. They have already submitted an application to the Diet to establish a special response team, hoping that the Diet will approve it for the safety of the general public.
However, there were no tangible rewards whatsoever.
Unaware that this action might attract the attention of some women, Xiangzi helped his father into the house.
The examination results showed that nothing had happened; Xiang's father was just unconscious, and the other people in the apartment who were also sleeping in a daze were only in a coma and had not been harmed.
People who can afford to rent these apartments have no time to rest. Some even complain that since nothing bad happened and Xiangzi even took them all to the hospital, it's no trouble for him to ask for money now.
Fortunately, Xiangzi was already able to withstand this level of verbal abuse. At most, he would shed small tears when he thought of someone in the middle of the night and closed the curtains, but he would never show it in front of his father.
Xiangzi, who had just returned, was just about to take advantage of the holiday to look for more jobs, as he couldn't let such a long period of time go to waste.
However, when she went outside, she saw Kerry, who had changed his clothes, was wearing a mask, and was carrying a musical instrument bag.
"Uh... Good morning."
She awkwardly greeted them from the spot, using the kind of words that only young ladies or students of church-run girls' colleges would use.
She glanced at the guitar case on Kerry's back. If she remembered correctly, it should contain a magnificent smoothbore gun that she could never forget after just one look and a small scythe.
Kerry nodded, glanced at his phone, and headed towards Akabane Toyoko Ichiban-gai.
According to today's plan, Kirito will review the surveillance footage, Kazuma will wander around looking for the invisible thing that suddenly appeared last night, and Kerry will go find the old man.
Now that we have a lead on the fact that we hired some scoundrels to keep them from leaving the house, we should definitely go and investigate.
Kuriyuki Toyokawa Shoko lowered her eyes in disappointment as she watched Kuriyuki leave.
Actually, she had some expectations before she went out: Is there any possibility that I will run into those three people from the Dark Band from yesterday when I go out today? And that they are actually government-backed professional anti-demon fighters. Because I saw everything last night, they specially invited me to join them. After that, the government will give me a salary of eight million yen every month and I will become a special person. In the future, when my grandfather sees me, he will regret saying such harsh words.
Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Today, she's going to try her luck with a life health company and see if she can work as a telemarketer.
It's called Akabane East, but it's actually the street next to Jr Akabane Station. You can see Akabane Hachiman Park and Akabane Grand Hotel along the way.
As you walk along the way, you can feel the obvious changes of the times.
Akabane West is like an old town, while Akabane East is a bustling modern metropolis.
I wonder if it's because Akabane Nishi was unharmed when the Americans attacked back then.
After all, it is well known that most of Tokyo's bustling areas and commercial hubs only prospered after being destroyed and rebuilt by the Americans.
When Kerry entered the street, he felt an overwhelming surge of people.
Although Kerry had avoided mealtimes and rush hour, there were still quite a few people coming and going on the street.
When Kerry arrived, he realized that this was a well-known "drunken street" in the area, lined with tiny izakayas and bars, and also had many Chinese restaurants.
"Strawberry Mapo Tofu, Milk Tea Flavored Rice Noodle Rolls, Chocolate Sweet and Sour Pork..."
Kerry stopped in front of a restaurant, looked at the blackboard hanging inside and read the menu in Chinese, then looked at the Chinese sign next to it that supported UnionPay and Alipay.
"Oh! Young man, your Chinese is very fluent! I went to Guangzhou to learn cooking from a master chef for three years and even tasted the legendary culinary skills of the descendant of the God of Cookery Liu Maoxing. Would you like to try some? I just don't know why, but Chinese tourists don't seem to like coming to my shop."
Seemingly having heard Kerry's voice, the shop owner behind the door even called out to attract customers.
Kerry felt that if it weren't for something else happening today, he would have really taken this person back to Guangzhou and made him kowtow to his master and apologize to Juxialou.
A few steps further ahead, the sign became clearer.
Kurata Washokuya.
That's today's target. According to the surveillance footage, that old man runs his shop here.
Kerry pushed open the door and went inside, casually finding a place to sit down.
"Is this your first time here, young man? Please find another seat. This place is reserved for old Sato. He just messaged me saying he was coming. This ginger ale is on me."
In Japan, many diners, especially the elderly, particularly enjoy going back to the same restaurant and sitting in only one seat.
This has even led to a culture where regular customers often chat together. So if you're traveling and eating and suddenly encounter an old man who claims you've taken his seat, he's probably not looking for trouble.
Unfortunately, Kerry is here to cause trouble today!
So he took the soda the owner handed him, but didn't move. Instead, he started looking around the shop.
The row of seats is ridiculously narrow. The partitions must have been installed some time ago and haven't been removed yet. Although it's clear that it's been cleaned regularly, the tables inevitably give off a sense of age.
There were also yellowed walls. There was only an old man and an old woman in the shop, presumably a couple, and the old man was Kerry's target today.
Kerry originally intended to go directly to the old man's house to ambush him, but it seemed the old man wasn't on that street at all last night. Kerry wandered around the door for a long time without success.
"Hmm... Uncle, you look very familiar. I've received a lot of help from you before."
Hearing Kerry's nonsensical words, the old man raised his eyes and looked Kerry, who had taken off his mask and hat when he entered the store, suddenly realized what was going on and his eyes widened.
"You! You're the person who lives in that white house?"
He glanced at the calendar first, then his expression turned serious.
"I don't know what you're talking about! Get out! Get out! We don't serve troublemakers like you!"
Kerry calmly opened his jacket pocket and gestured for him to look.
"You! What are you going to do?!"
Upon seeing the pistol lying there, the old man's expression changed several times, and he spoke with a fierce but cowardly tone.
Then Kerry pulled another piece of paper from his pocket and slapped it on the table.
"What do you mean? Even if you're a police officer, you don't have the right..."
The old man spoke while resisting, and then picked up a piece of paper and swept it.
"A diagnosis of mental illness?!"
"You! ...Shimizuko, please greet our guest. I have something to discuss with this young man."
110
Chapter 110 Tokyoite: Thank you!
Faced with Kerry's weapon and proof of legal murder, the old man chose to compromise.
This thing is much more useful than a police ID!
Under the horrified gaze of his wife, he led Kerry to sit down on the second floor of the small shop.
It was not mealtime, and there were no customers on the second floor of the restaurant.
The boss sat down somewhat nervously, glancing around every now and then.
"There's nothing to ask. Just move out quickly. Something happened on the street last night, right? If you don't want anything to happen, don't go out. Move out if you can."
At this point, the boss still tried his best to persuade Kerry not to delve any deeper.
Kerry was getting fed up with the red tape.
If he hadn't sensed something was wrong, he would have acted immediately.
"Do you know about that invisible thing from last night?"
