Only I Have the Law: Tokyo Fantasy Daily Life

Page 25

It makes people really eager to try it.

After washing up, Chizuru Tsukishima carefully combed her unruly, sticking-up hair and sat down at the dining table.

She looked at the sumptuous breakfast on the table and said with a smile, "Mmm, it smells so good."

Let me try and see if your skills have deteriorated.

She picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of perfectly fried barracuda belly, put it in her mouth, chewed slowly, and then smiled with satisfaction, saying, "Delicious."

"If you like, I can make an extra breakfast for you from now on."

Qingze followed up with the conversation.

Chizuru Tsukishima raised an eyebrow slightly, a cryptic smile playing on her lips, and said, "Eh? Why are you suddenly being so nice to me? Do you want to get back together?"

She appeared casual on the surface, but her heart was involuntarily pounding.

She could pinpoint the exact time of their breakup, down to the minute, how much time had passed since then.

The reason for the breakup was simple: she was too pushy and seriously interfered with Qingze's life, which led him to choose to separate.

At that time, Chizuru Tsukishima was also in a state of confusion and couldn't sort out her thoughts.

By the time she finally figured things out and calmed down, Qingze had already become a teacher at Zhuli High School.

She couldn't find a suitable reason or excuse to rashly disturb his new life, so she could only watch from afar.

Fortunately, Qingze's unyielding personality allowed him to directly confront even the principal when he encountered things he disapproved of at work.

As expected, he was soon expelled from that private school.

After that, Qingze sent out resumes to other schools while doing odd jobs to make a living.

Chizuru Tsukishima thought he would soon succumb to reality and return to the path she had envisioned.

But Qingze lived a carefree and leisurely life.

In the end, it was Tsukishima Chizuru who couldn't hold back any longer and took the initiative to visit him, using gentle persuasion and persistent cajoling to convince him to accept the teaching position at Nagato High School.

However, their relationship remains in a "breakup state".

She desperately wanted to get back together, but her pride and ulterior motives prevented her from being the one to make the first move; she hoped he would take the initiative.

Qingze did not answer immediately.

He chewed the tender fish meat carefully, thought for a moment, and then prepared to express his thoughts.

Sitting opposite her, Chizuru Tsukishima could no longer bear the brief silence.

She waved her hand casually, saying in a nonchalant tone, "Oh, I was just kidding, don't take it seriously."

"Chizuru."

Qingze put down his chopsticks, his expression turned serious, and he looked directly at her, saying, "I will marry you."

Our wedding will be much grander than you can imagine, enough to cause a sensation throughout Tokyo.

He paused, then said, "But not now."

"How long will it take?"

Chizuru Tsukishima pressed on, a barely perceptible hint of expectation hidden deep in her eyes.

"I'm not sure exactly how long it will take."

"Ha ha……"

Chizuru Tsukishima chuckled softly, her bright red lips curving upwards into a captivating smile. "Alright, then let me see the result with my own eyes before my patience runs out."

She sounded relaxed, and her mood did indeed brighten.

In her view, Qingze's willingness to say such things indicates that his previous firm stance against entering politics has softened.

If she pushes on it a little harder, she might get a satisfactory answer in less than a month.

As long as Qingze agrees, she has already devised a detailed plan in her mind on how to use the connections and resources of the Tsukishima family to help him rise to power quickly.

In this era of highly developed internet, as long as you know how to operate new media and build a personal image, it is not an unattainable dream to quickly join the ranks of members of parliament or even run for prime minister.

Didn't that American president rise to the presidency precisely because of his successful "fandom" management model?

She had full confidence in Qingze and her own abilities.

……

After a pleasant breakfast, Qingze didn't linger.

He clearly remembered that the Buddhist ceremony was scheduled for nine o'clock in the morning, and he could not linger here any longer.

Chizuru Tsukishima didn't try to stop her; she simply waved lazily and watched Aozawa leave.

The door was closed behind her, she stretched and got up to go back to the bedroom.

She wore this nightgown specifically for Qingze, and now that he's gone, she won't wear it anymore.

That's too revealing.

She only wanted to show her charm and allure to Qingze.

……

Qingze took a taxi directly home.

As soon as the door opened, Da Huang excitedly pounced on it, wagging its tail like a rattle.

Qingze was focused on important matters at the moment, so he just perfunctorily rubbed its head, gently pushed it aside, and closed the door behind him.

He first added food and water to the sparrows in the cage.

As for Dahuang, he opened a bag of braised duck feet and poured them into its food bowl.

Then, he quickly walked to the storage cabinet, took out the fox mask and put it on, and found several old paper maps of the Tokyo metropolitan area.

The old man never trusted mobile phone navigation when he went out; he only trusted physical maps.

Qingze had never thrown it away; I never expected it would come in handy now.

He quickly found the route from Okubo to Kawagoe City on the map, and even the direction of Rokkakugencho.

After confirming that everything was correct, he changed himself into a common black T-shirt and black trousers.

Leave your phone behind, put non-slip shoe covers on your shoes, and wear gloves on your hands to ensure that no traces are left.

He went into the bedroom and closed the door.

The reason for choosing to cast the spell indoors was to avoid being seen by Big Yellow, which would cause it to bark curiously and create unnecessary trouble.

With a thought, Qingze's blurry shadow on the ground instantly became clear, and a dark purple magic circle silently appeared.

A thick, inky shadow surged out of the magic circle, quickly enveloping his entire body, and then pulled downwards, causing him to disappear into the magic circle.

The magic circle disappeared from the bedroom the next second.

He began to perform shadow jumps continuously.

The distance from his home to Okubo Station was not far, and he arrived there quickly.

The platform was noisy with people, and he lurked in the shadow of a passenger.

Bright sunlight streamed onto the railway tracks, and train information was broadcast over the loudspeaker.

He quietly disappeared into the shadow of a train heading towards Ikebukuro.

After arriving in Ikebukuro, he hopped onto the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line tram shadow and followed the tram all the way to Kawagoe City.

Following the map he remembered, he began leaping through the shadows once more.

After a period of travel, he finally arrived at the venue for the Dharma assembly.

This is a standard Japanese garden, surrounded by a three-meter-high white wall, with a heavy wooden door at the main entrance.

The doors were wide open, and believers were filing in.

Tall guards stood on either side of the gate, dressed in the style of martial monks, but instead of monk's staffs, they carried samurai swords at their waists.

However, what Qingze cared about even more was the glaring scarlet label above their heads.

[Evil God's Minions]

"There are two red name tags..."

Qingze's heart skipped a beat; his earlier guess was indeed correct—there was definitely more than one enemy here.

He quickly began to dart and leap around inside the courtyard, his primary task being to figure out the overall layout.

The front yard is a typical dry landscape garden, with auspicious patterns such as treasure ships carved on the boat-shaped rocks, giving it an almost anime-like aesthetic.

A two-story Japanese-style mansion stands in the center of the courtyard, and the Buddhist ceremony will be held in the hall on the ground floor.

The "cult leader" I met yesterday is not in the lobby on the first floor.

Four people dressed as monks were maintaining order at the scene. They also wore scarlet "Evil God's Claws" tags on their heads and had samurai swords at their waists.

Qingze jumped up again and arrived at the second floor.

Here, he saw the cult leader.

As the Dharma assembly was about to begin, a couple of believers were helping him put on his robes and expressing their gratitude for his willingness to "exorcise demons" for their daughter.

The girl lay on the bed, her face obscured by the shadows on the floor; only her two slightly bluish-purple legs dangled motionless beside the bed.

The scene before him ignited a surge of killing intent in Qingze's heart, but he did not act immediately.

He continued to investigate the situation at the venue for the Dharma assembly.

It was ultimately confirmed that there were a total of nine enemies with red names above their heads, including the cult leader.

This is definitely the biggest gain he's ever had since he was able to see tags.

But he did not act immediately.

The reason is simple: the main gate is still open, and believers are still entering.

He needs to wait until the Dharma assembly officially begins and the venue is completely closed before taking any action.
