"No matter what, it's too much for an A-rank to attack Kamijou-kun, who's basically an ordinary person, especially in a crowded place like a cafe. Misaka-san, isn't that going a bit too far?"

Through physical contact, it's clear the other party is an A-rank electric ability user. If that attack had hit Touma Kamijou, he might have fainted on the spot. That's too much, far too much.

In that case, they definitely need to be taught a good lesson.

"Um, maybe it's better not to be too nervous? Rinko, let go of Misaka, it's not good for so many people to stay in this position for so long, is it?"

At that moment, Touma Kamijou's right hand grabbed the hands that Suzuka and Misaka were holding together.

A soft sound, like glass shattering, startled both Misaka and Suzuka. The former scrutinized Suzuka with a wary gaze, while the latter stared in disbelief at Touma, who was completely unaware of the implications of that earlier grip.

"Although I don't know exactly what happened, it's better not to start arguing."

As Touma Kamijou said this, he separated the two girls' hands that were clasped together.

A long chapter of 4 words~

Section 273, Chapter 11: "The Hound," and the Spying Man

The time was 23:14 PM, and the location was the data room in the branch building of Group Six.

Kiritsugu Emiya frowned as he looked at the pile of documents on the table, deep in thought.

He held a pen, occasionally making marks on the documents, and then, as if remembering something, scribbling something on a blank sheet of paper. These scribbles were messy, but it was clear that several words had been written many times and even highlighted by Kiritsugu Emiya.

"Conspiracy," "ambush," "traitor," "unknown enemy"...

Kiritsugu Emiya closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, seemingly having a headache.

The door behind them was casually opened at that moment, and the newcomer seemed to have no intention of concealing his steps, walking straight in with a swagger.

"Hey, uncle, you're here."

A young woman dressed in casual, androgynous attire, with short hair reaching almost to her shoulders, looked curiously at Kiritsugu Emiya, who was sitting at the table.

Upon turning around and confirming the identity of the newcomer, Kiritsugu Emiya subconsciously frowned and asked with a hint of inquiry:

"Miss Zhi, what brings you here?"

Ryougi Ori is known to the outside world as Ryougi Shiki's twin sister. However, Kiritsugu Emiya, who knows the truth, knows that she and Ryougi Shiki were originally one, a product of the Ryougi family's successful experimentation with dual personalities, a result of that family's pursuit of something special.

For some reason unknown to Kiritsugu Emiya, Ryougi Shiki's individual existence was discovered by the actual leaders of Japan and she was forcibly separated. The body that Ryougi Shiki possesses now is actually a body created through top-notch doll technology, into which her consciousness was then injected.

According to Kiritsugu Emiya, the high-ranking leader responsible for separating Shiki and Shiki actually had another order: that Shiki and Shiki should not meet frequently and should remain separated in their daily lives.

That's why Zhi rarely sees Shiki and usually spends her time traveling with the government's private subsidies. So why would she suddenly appear at Shiki's sixth division headquarters in the middle of the night?

"Uncle, you look terrible. Let me make it clear beforehand that I have no ulterior motives. It's just that Shi forgot something in the office, and I was just getting it for her."

On Zhi's face, which was exactly the same as Shiki's, a bright smile appeared, a smile that Shiki would almost never show. He waved his hand and walked into the depths of the archives, where he pulled out a stack of reports from a drawer.

Kiritsugu Emiya only glanced at it before recognizing that the report was a copy of the previous report on the port closure operation.

"The team leader never cares about action reports. You're the one who wants that report, aren't you?"

Without hesitation, Kiritsugu Emiya exposed Origami's lie, stood up from his seat, and stood in front of the exit.

"And with such practiced movements, it seems this isn't your first time in this room. Have you come here to steal reports from Group Six many times before?"

Ori paused for a moment at Kiritsugu Emiya's reaction, then sighed, looking like she was in trouble.

"The uncle is really wary, even though everyone else isn't like that."

"Others?"

Emiya Kiritsugu was somewhat puzzled.

"Yeah, like Uncle Li Cheng, like Miss Tohsaka, and there's this guy with spiky hair whose name I forgot but who always seems to be unlucky. They never say anything when I come in."

In other words, given that the database, which is an important location for the branch, was repeatedly broken into by an outsider, did Li Cheng and Tohsaka not realize that this was a problem?

Kiritsugu Emiya sighed and decided to find some time to emphasize to his team members the importance of security in the archives, a place where secret information is stored.

But for now, let's deal with the girl in front of us first.

"In short, Ms. Zhi, please tell me your purpose in taking this document. You should know that your current actions have already violated the law. The internal reports of the action group are confidential in themselves."

"What a heartless old man, it's not even a big deal."

No, no, the intrusion into the storage of confidential documents of a law enforcement agency is something that can't be considered a trivial matter.

"Well, I have to tell you. I know a little bit about the inside story of the last attack, but there are still some uncertainties, so I came to investigate. Just so you know, Shiki gave me permission to view these things."

Does the organization know the inside story of the port closure movement?

Kiritsugu Emiya's expression immediately turned serious.

What do you know?

"It's not clear yet. We'll have to see who the guys you killed were. But we do have a general suspect."

"hound?"

"Oh, uncle, you know the name of this organization too? That's right. Although there's no direct evidence yet, that organization is definitely the prime suspect."

"Hound" is a terrorist organization that emerged a year ago and has been planning terrorist attacks in multiple countries. However, unlike ordinary terrorist organizations, "Hound" is extremely secretive. Even now, no one can definitively deduce where the organization originated or who is in charge.

The most distinctive characteristic of the mysterious organization "Hounds" is their extreme caution in operations. No matter how their opponents react, they always manage to achieve their desired objectives. Like the operation to destroy the port, although the Sixth Team ultimately turned the tide, the casualties among police officers and the direct subordinate squad meant that the operation could not be considered a success. Furthermore, the media outcry and public outcry made it difficult for the entire Bureau of Supernatural Abilities to cope.

It's fair to say that the ambitious goal set forth by the Supernatural Abilities Bureau at the beginning of the year has now turned into a massive public relations disaster. Only the oddballs in Group Six would remain indifferent, going about their own business without any awareness of the serious consequences of this incident or the escalating situation it's currently in.

It's necessary to have a proper talk.

Emiya Kiritsugu pondered this, then spoke to the woman before him:

"So, what's next..."

"stop!"

Zhi's eyes suddenly turned fierce.

Before Kiritsugu Emiya could react, the girl was right in front of him in the blink of an eye. A slash, too fast to be seen with the naked eye, sliced ​​across his right shoulder, the whistling sound of the blade piercing his ears. The next moment, his body instinctively jerked to the side and back, drawing his gun. But then he noticed that the girl who had suddenly drawn her sword was still standing there, coldly scanning her surroundings.

"Just now, someone was watching us."

Sheathed her dagger and whispered to Kiritsugu Emiya.

"Sight?"

"Yes, line of sight."

The gaze seemed to come from nowhere, a feeling of being watched from the shadows, of being spied on.

Ori was very confident in her senses; she was 100% certain that while she was talking with Kiritsugu Emiya, someone was secretly watching them.

"It's really uncomfortable, this tingling sensation on the scalp."

Moreover, even though she had already made a move, she didn't feel like she had hit anything. Even if it were magic or supernatural ability to see through things, her strike should have been effective. So what was it that she couldn't hit?

At this moment, the feeling of being watched had vanished, and Zhi's doubts remained unanswered. Meanwhile, in a dark world, a figure hovered suspended within.

"What a perceptive child! He was able to detect my presence."

The figure sighed softly, his eyes filled with surprise.

"However, if that's the case, how do we find the source of that sensation?"

Although she is usually willing to accept all kinds of new and exciting things, this kind of hide-and-seek experience is really quite troublesome for her.

She could clearly sense a presence similar to herself, but no matter how hard she searched, she couldn't pinpoint its location. She was certain that the other person was hiding from her, interfering with her abilities in some way she didn't know, preventing her from finding them directly.

The man carried a faint trace of his aura, while the capable girl had virtually none. Therefore, can we assume the man had contact with his target, or someone close to him?

That's some good news, so let's go test the waters with the others next.

With that thought in mind, she quickly disappeared into the dark world, completely ignoring the tense situation she had put the two people in the archives in.

Section 274, Chapter Twelve: Disappearances and Attacks

After encountering Touma Kamijou with Kiritsugu Emiya at a coffee shop and then taking advantage of a gap to witness an interesting spectacle, Li Cheng heard some rather bad news the next day as soon as he woke up.

The hospital where the wounded from the direct assault team were being treated was attacked by terrorists.

The attack occurred in the middle of the night, causing a severe explosion that destroyed about a third of the hospital, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries. Among the casualties were Ghost Fist, the leader of the direct subordinate squad, and two seriously wounded squad members who went missing in the attack.

In the context of such a tense public opinion environment, this attack has undoubtedly pushed the situation into a more complicated state.

However, for Li Cheng, it was nothing more than "Oh, that guy has disappeared."

After all, his group had cleaned up the mess for this squad, only to be bitten back. Although Li Cheng considered himself to be a fairly good-tempered person, it was impossible for him not to have any thoughts about this. Not retaliating was already a result of his indifference; as for the lives of those people now, they were completely meaningless to him.

Zi seemed quite surprised when she overheard the news, but she quickly regained her composure. Li Cheng heard her mutter to herself, "She's already disappeared?" which sounded rather disappointing.

Could this guy have been secretly planning to deal with those direct subordinate teams?

Kiritsugu Emiya quickly contacted Li Cheng, and after confirming that Li Cheng was alright, he reminded him to be careful before hanging up. When Li Cheng walked into the living room, yawning, and turned on the television, he found that almost every channel he could watch was broadcasting news about the terrorist attack.

Besides TV Tokyo, this channel is currently broadcasting a food program.

Wait a minute, with something as terrible as a terrorist attack, Tokyo TV is still broadcasting a program about local noodle culture. Isn't that a bit too abnormal?

For the first time, Li Cheng felt that he didn't quite understand what was going on in Japan.

Zi seems to be engrossed in something lately, spending quite some time in the rift. Li Cheng went to check on her a few times out of curiosity, but he couldn't understand what she was doing at all. Considering that even if Zi explained it to him, he might not be able to understand it given his limited brain capacity, Li Cheng simply stopped asking.

The weather was quite nice this morning, so Li Cheng decided to go downstairs to stretch his body a bit. He walked down the stairs, greeted the old man on the first floor, and then headed towards the park. But at that moment, he suddenly stopped.

Here we go again, that feeling of being spied on.
