Started from the creation of Kamen Rider

This is very common in Japan. Departments with overlapping functions will naturally compete for the right to speak for their own interests, but this does not mean that the two departments are mortal enemies. They are just hostile to each other. The necessary communication and even collaboration will not be lost. At most, they will be sarcastic to each other when cooperating.

For example, wasn’t the cannibal hotel case a collaboration between the Special Intelligence Office and Super Power Unit?

With this in mind, Rika did not have any particular hostility towards Su Su, who was "suspected to belong to the cabinet faction". She even thought that if there was a chance, she could ask Su Su indirectly to see if he knew what this medicine was and whether there was any correct way to use it.

After all, this kind of medicine can't be made just for show, right?

Since the potion has been made, there must be a correct way to use it. I just don't know it, so I don't dare to use it recklessly based on guesswork.

Now, under the instigation of many people with ill intentions, Rika, who had once again thought about forming a power, naturally thought about this matter again, so...

Recalling the various information about Su Su that she had seen in the archives, Rika calculated the time again and found that she seemed to be able to take time out to visit the company where Su Su worked - Su Su's company was also in the port area, and the embassy staff were also very kind to say that there was no need to trouble Rika too much, they could fill out the forms themselves - so, Rika began to think seriously, how about taking this opportunity to contact Su Su?

By then, maybe I can add some more information to fill out the archives, which can be considered as helping the higher-ups?

161. Missing Chapter Title

November.

Generally speaking, at this time of year, the weather will gradually turn colder, the leaves of the roadside trees will slowly begin to wither, and even the afternoon sun will lose some of its heat and become a little more gentle.

And when Rika stood on the side of the road under the office building, she looked up at the direction of Su Su's office recorded in the information through the mottled shadows of the trees, and saw a figure half leaning against the window, lazily basking in the sun.

How to say it...The moment she saw him, Rika suddenly felt that this uncle was very handsome.

He is the kind of handsome uncle who, if he appears in front of a little girl, will definitely be looked at a few more times by the other party, and then will pull her girlfriends to whisper, or even imagine some stories and then giggle secretly - plus his identity, he can be said to be both handsome and rich, right?

When she thought about having contact with such a person, Rika suddenly felt a little inferior for some reason.

Of course, maybe this emotion is not called inferiority complex, but just a simple timidity of a girl when she sees an outstanding opposite sex? Rika is not sure, but she knows that a guy like her who has never been to college and comes from a criminal background, in theory, would never have any contact with such a successful person with an annual salary of tens of millions...

Unless the other person is crazy and looking for excitement.

However, Rika did not come here this time under the pretext of contacting Su Su. After all, Rika was just inexperienced, not stupid. In any case, the Super Power Unit 1 and the Special Information Office were hostile to each other. If she went to find the other party openly for no reason, it would inevitably bring trouble to herself and even Sister Yuan.

So actually, Rika came here this time under the pretext of looking for Asada Shino.

Since the battle at the Cannibal Inn, Shino Asada has officially entered the vision of all forces. She is a third-level wild knight with a weapon plug-in "Crescent Rose". Her combat power is extremely strong. She once cooperated with Gaim to defeat a monster...

All these things undoubtedly show that this is someone worth making friends with - and it just so happens that Asada Shino and Rika had also "shared hardships" in the cannibal hotel case and had formed a fairly deep friendship.

In fact, since then, Sister Yuan and Shino Asada have been in contact from time to time and even made plans to have dinner together! Sister Yuan always brings Rika with her, so the three of them are actually quite close.

It's just that the recent surge of magic energy has made Sister Yuan very busy, so there is no time to go shopping and eating together. Asada Shino even complained to Rika that the Super Power Part 1 exploited child labor. Speaking of which, although Asada Shino didn't say it, Rika could see that she was still disappointed that Sister Yuan could grow up...

Therefore, it makes sense for me to come to find Asada Shino and then contact Su Su at the same time, right?

After looking up at the window for a long time, Rika finally took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to step into this building, which she might never have the chance to step into in her life according to her original trajectory.

......

The company building of Higuchi Pharmaceutical is actually not very tall, and it is not very conspicuous among the many company headquarters in Minato Ward. But the advantage is that the entire building belongs to Higuchi Pharmaceutical alone. As soon as you enter the lobby on the first floor, you can see the gold-plated plaque of Higuchi Pharmaceutical hanging in the center of the reception hall on the first floor.

On one side of the lobby on the first floor is a reception desk. A very beautiful receptionist is standing behind the counter with a dazed look in her eyes.

After seeing Rika walk in from the front door, the lady at the front desk straightened her body noticeably and seemed to be more energetic. Then she turned her head slightly. Although her eyes were not looking directly at him, one could clearly feel that she was looking at him.

So Rika took a deep breath and walked towards him.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

"Um... hello, I'm here to see... um... Shino Asada. She's from your marketing department. Can you help me get in touch with her?"

The receptionist's tone was gentle and warm, which made Rika relax a little. Her tense body relaxed, and she told the receptionist why she was there.

Of course, Rika could have just called or used a chat app to get in touch, but...

"Marketing department... Section Chief Asada?"

It is worth noting that in order to win over Asada Shino, Asada Shino is now the section chief - but she is not responsible for any specific management, just a figurehead, and enjoys many preferential treatments such as being able to take leave at will, being late or leaving early at will, etc.

In fact, the same treatment is also available in Super Power Department, which is called "special recruitment". The workers are paid every month and do not have to work. However, if they encounter any troublesome matters, they will be considered for help to deal with them. Fengqi and Kuangqi are all specially hired consultants of Super Power Department.

This is actually a means of winning over others, but the cabinet has a lot of assets, so it can be done more smoothly.

Although ordinary employees of Higuchi Pharmaceutical are unaware of the twists and turns involved, this does not prevent them from knowing who in the company should not be provoked and who has a strong background. There is no doubt that someone like Asada Shino, who has been rising rapidly in position as if she were on a rocket, must have a background.

And in many people's discussions, the most frequently appearing "background" of Asada Shino is...Su Suku.

Speaking of which, this rumor has been around for a long time. It was spread once a long time ago, saying that after the welcome party, Asada Shino took advantage of being drunk to hook up with Su Su. However, later because the two did not act very familiar with each other in the company, this rumor was nothing. But with Su Su's recent promotion again, and everyone with a discerning eye can see that Su Su, who is obviously the deputy minister, is more powerful than the minister in speaking, so Asada Shino's rapid promotion inevitably caused heated discussions again.

Asada Shino's family background is no secret. She is an ordinary country girl, not from an aristocratic family. So if this is not a tool for the boss to get promoted, it seems unreasonable...

As for the unfamiliarity in the company?

I pretend to avoid gossip!

......

In short, for a colleague like Asada Shino who is "scheming" and has the support of the leader, everyone tries to make friends with her. Asada Shino herself has a good personality, so she is quite popular in the company. When she heard that someone was looking for her, the front desk lady naturally did not delay and quickly called Asada Shino's office.

So after a while, Asada Shino's surprised voice came from the stairs.

"Rika! Are you done with your work? How come you have time to come see me?"

Obviously, she didn't even bother to take the elevator and ran down the stairs directly.

162. The potion handed to Su Su

Asada Shino has been living a very comfortable life recently.

In fact, after her identity was exposed, Asada Shino had already prepared herself mentally for endless harassment. However, who would have thought that nothing happened and Asada Shino waited for a long time but no one came to harass her.

This, in turn, made Asada Shino feel a little "disappointed" - could it be that I wasn't strong enough to attract the attention of various forces and make them think of ways to invite me?

It's like a JK walking into a train famous for perverts with a nervous mood, and even prepared herself mentally to resist violently if anyone harasses her. But in the end, she was not harassed even once during the whole journey - she felt relieved, but she also felt a little bit unwilling, and then began to question her own charm.

Could it be that none of the perverts in the car like me?

Asada Shino probably had a similar mentality at the time.

Fortunately, following a company meeting, Asada Shino was promoted from an intern to a middle-level manager in a pharmaceutical giant like riding a rocket. She even received extremely generous treatment, and it was almost as if she only had to put her name on the job and they would give her money every month. This obviously flattering attitude made Asada Shino vaguely understand that it was not that no one was paying attention to her.

It’s just that the method used by others is obviously different from my own clumsy idea. This method is gentle and pleasing, like the spring rain that moistens everything silently. It is really hard for people to feel disgusted.

Even Shino Asada thought that if she had known that this would be the result after her identity was exposed, she should have revealed her identity earlier...

......

Since becoming a company parasite, Asada Shino's life has become colorful. She can slack off as much as she wants during work hours, and even give herself a leave when she feels like it and go out for a stroll. It just so happened that Kaname Madoka was not busy at the Super Power Department during that time, so she went along with Rika, who was also a lark, and the three of them went shopping and strolling around a lot.

Not to mention that now both Kaname Madoka and Asada Shino have become serious high-income people - they have money and free time, and they are young and energetic. Are there any better days in the world than this?

Under the influence of such a comfortable life, Asada Shino inevitably became spoiled, and even neglected her original plan to find Senior Su Su to ask about matters related to super powers. Since her promotion, Asada Shino also had her own office, but her office was quite far from Su Su's, so Asada Shino never had the energy to find Su Su.

Just like Asada Shino, Senior Su Su was also promoted. Unlike Asada Shino, who was a parasite, Senior Su Su was an old employee with excellent business capabilities, so he was transferred to be the department manager.

Well... of course, he is currently the deputy minister, but everyone can see that the minister is just a temporary replacement. By the time Senior Su Su became familiar with the work flow, the minister had already done what Senior Su Su did.

However, I don’t know whether Senior Su Su’s promotion was a natural result of working diligently for so many years, or whether he was treated specially because of his extraordinary ability?

Maybe it's both...

But to be honest, I originally wanted to match Senior Su Su and his neighbor, but later on, a lot of things happened, so the matchmaking ended up in vain - but judging from the fact that Senior Su Su now brings a safe lunch box to the company every day, I guess I have succeeded.

My success rate as a matchmaker is still 100%!

......

Needless to say, this is truly a comfortable life. If possible, Asada Shino could live like this forever, but unfortunately, Kaname Madoka has been busy recently - it seems that there is some kind of magical energy emergence phenomenon. There is a confidentiality regulation for the specific things, so Kaname Madoka cannot say, but it is obvious that Kaname Madoka is extremely busy.

Not only did they not have time to go shopping and eat together, but most of the time they didn't even have time to reply to messages. During the day, Shino sent a bunch of messages to Kaname, and it was only at night that she replied to them one by one. Then after just a few words, she hurriedly said that she was exhausted and needed to rest.

To the extent that Shino Asada felt like a widow left alone in an empty room.

As for Rika... Rika is indeed not very busy, but to Asada Shino, Rika is more of a little sister than a peer. There is naturally no problem in hanging out together, but after all, they can't chat freely like peers.

As for other people of Shino Asada's age, such as classmates, firstly, they all work and cannot be as happy as she is as a parasite; secondly, they are all ordinary people and there are many topics that they cannot talk about - Shino Asada and Madoka Kaname can discuss all kinds of topics about super powers together, but when they are with ordinary classmates, they have to be careful to avoid these things and not let anything slip.

To some extent, Asada Shino can even talk to these people of the same age better than her little sister Rika...

As expected, becoming a superpowered person will gradually alienate oneself from ordinary people...

......

In short, Asada Shino's recent state is a bit like that of a resentful woman who stays alone in her empty room, eagerly waiting for someone to seduce her. Then at this time, the front desk suddenly called and said that a girl named Rika came to see her.

Although she was a little confused as to why Rika came to the company to find her directly without calling her in advance or telling her on Line, Asada Shino couldn't wait to rush out of the office. As a result...

"Uh... So, Rika-chan, you didn't come to see me, but you wanted to use me to meet Su Su-senpai, right?... Ugh, you treated Shino-san as a tool, how heartless, Rika-chan..."

In the office, looking at Rika with a helpless expression, Asada Shino covered her chest and pressed the dough with both hands to make an injured gesture, but her tone was full of ridicule.

Then Rika rolled her eyes slightly.

"Shino-san, if you push the button down a little harder, it will break. Can you please be more self-aware..."

"Why, it's not like you haven't seen it before, Rika-chan. When we were taking a bath together, you were still..."

"I have seen him, but Sister Shino, you are going to take me to see Mr. Su Su later. If you don't mind showing Mr. Su Su a button-down, then I have no objection."

Rika hurriedly interrupted Asada Shino's words and her face turned slightly red.

Speaking of which, Rika is an "introverted club cow", that is, she is very introverted and reserved in front of strangers, but extremely enthusiastic and unrestrained in front of acquaintances - so when she was taking a bath in the bathing pool after swimming one time, Rika was curious about Asada Shino's mind, so she did an experiment.

Anyway, it was about the same size as Sister Yuan’s head, who was barely one meter tall at the time…

Seeing that Rika finally showed a little embarrassment, Asada Shino was satisfied and stopped teasing Rika. And if she continued to press, Asada Shino was indeed a little worried that the buttons would break - although she could slack off casually, she still had to wear a uniform to work, so it would be somewhat restrictive.

If it really collapsed, then I really wouldn't be able to go see Senior Su Su...

However, although Asada Shino did remember to meet Su Su-senpai and ask him about some things after Rika's reminder, it was not now - and she would not take Rika with her.

"Well, okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore... But Rika, I can't take you to see Senior Su Su now. It's working hours now. Although Senior Su Su has always had a good temper, it's still a bit inappropriate to rashly bring someone who has nothing to do with work to disturb him - how about this, I'll go talk to Senior Su Su, and we can have dinner together after get off work?"

After a little consideration, Asada Shino proposed a suitable solution.

Although Rika felt a little disappointed after hearing that she couldn't see Su Su right away, she also understood that it would be too abrupt for her to go now - so after calculating the time, Rika nodded seriously.

"Okay, but I have to go back first. I still have work to do... I'll come see Shino-san after get off work!"

"Ah? You still have to go. You really are just using Shino-san as a tool... Is Madoka free tonight? Get her along, too."

"Probably not - Sister Yuan doesn't come back to the dormitory until almost dawn every day, and then leaves early. She is very busy, and I don't know what she is busy with... But I will try. If I go to see Mr. Su Su, the department will probably agree to transfer her here? Mr. Su Su is still highly valued in the department..."

Moreover, what she wanted to ask Mr. Su Su should indeed be made known to Sister Yuan as well - looking at Asada Shino who was faintly hopeful, Rika thought silently in her heart.

No matter what, Sister Yuan is also a "superpower" created by the potion. Whether he wants to find out the truth about the potion from Su Su or plans to establish a witch club, he should let Sister Yuan know as well.

Speaking of which, after get off work, I have to go back to the dormitory in advance to get the medicine hidden in the closet...

163. The Venerable One Who Came to Your Door

Su Su is indeed very busy recently, but he is also quite free.

He was busy because he had a lot more work to do after the promotion. Although Su Su could just sit back and do nothing and still get paid, as a foreigner struggling alone in Japan and a middle-aged man, Su Su knew very well that money could not solve all problems.

Especially in a country like Japan, money alone won't work without enough connections - and besides, many of Su Su's "friends" were made through work, and without this channel, they would gradually become estranged.

So work will seem busier, but is it free?

I mean the extraordinary level. I've been quite free recently.

The laboratory is temporarily idle, and Shiratori Yuei has returned home to live with his family. There is no need to distribute the knight belts for the time being. Only some plug-ins have been made and are waiting to be distributed. Hua Jianyuan, who used to be like a "motivation" to force him, has now become a little cutie who only wants to stick with him every day, so for a moment, Su Su really doesn't know what else he should do.

Maybe it would be nice if life just continued like this?

After all, Su Su is a person without much ambition. Now the only thing that Su Su is busy with occasionally is to quietly sneak into the common sense tampering base coverage area to check the use of magic.

This is Su Su's only goal in the short term - to find and learn how to use magic by observing the knights' spellcasting.

But unfortunately, such peace and tranquility could not last forever - sometimes Su Su himself would doubt whether he was some kind of protagonist, why did he always encounter all kinds of things?

For example, now the consequences of exposing one’s identity have come.

But the one who came to Su Su was neither the expected official forces nor some powerful knights, but...

"Damn it, Your Excellency."

Feeling the familiar extraordinary smell that had quietly emerged around him, Su Su, who was leaning against the window enjoying a rare lunch break, suddenly opened his eyes and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But theoretically speaking, the Venerable should not know that the guy who took away its body was Su Su - after all, with its strength, it should not be able to see through Su Su's deliberate concealment, so the Venerable is most likely not here to seek revenge on Su Su or to take back the body or something.

I guess he heard from somewhere that Su Su "can make modifications to the belt" and came to me specifically.
