This Japanese Monogatari Isn't Lame-Chapter 580 - 366. Indescribable! (8000-word goal achieved!)

From a normal person’s point of view, that’s indeed how it is.

Would you believe that a "high school student" could burst into a crime organization with strong religious beliefs and still come out unscathed?

Ordinary people simply couldn’t believe it.

Even though Beichuan Si had demonstrated similar operations in front of Gangye Yoshiko more than once, she still couldn’t rest easy.

That’s the mindset most people have.

But you want Beichuan Si to take her to the core meeting location...

"Oh," Beichuan Si nodded expressionlessly.

"Let’s just agree on that then," Gangye Yoshiko patted Beichuan Si on the back and continued, "I won’t dawdle here anymore. After I get the information, I need to discuss it with the guys at the station, when it’s time for you to implement the plan, just call me directly."

"Oh," Beichuan Si nodded again, expressionless.

As Beichuan Si kept nodding, Gangye Yoshiko left satisfied.

Watching her leave, Beichuan Si didn’t hesitate to call Shirasaki Chiyoda.

...

Two days later.

Gangye Yoshiko woke from her sleep.

She turned her head to check the time.

It was already past 1 a.m. on Monday. How had Beichuan Si not called her to blend into the bodyguard lineup and attend the core meeting?

She stretched and then looked at her colleagues walking back and forth beside her, "How are the preparations?"

"Everything is arranged; we just need to wait for your informant to send a message, and our men can raid the three pharmaceutical plants."

"Good."

Gangye Yoshiko nodded in satisfaction.

For this Happiness Truth Sect case, she had specifically borrowed police forces from around Tokyo to ensure nothing went wrong.

Their movements were very covert; the Happiness Truth Sect had absolutely no clue.

But... Gangye Yoshiko always had a palpable feeling of unease, like something wasn’t quite right.

"When is Beichuan going to call? Didn’t he promise to let me blend into the bodyguards?"

Gangye Yoshiko felt increasingly restless.

On one hand, she wanted to call Beichuan Si; on the other hand, she was worried something unexpected had happened at Beichuan Si’s end, and reaching out rashly might thrust him into danger.

While Gangye Yoshiko was pondering, her phone suddenly rang.

The caller ID showed the name she had been thinking about—Beichuan Si.

She didn’t delay a second, answering the call immediately.

Before she could even start speaking, Beichuan Si had already relayed the information, "The core meeting location is at Building 3, Miyashita Park in Shibuya District, starting in two hours."

Miyashita Park Commercial Building, Shibuya District... time, 3:30 a.m.

After jotting down this crucial information on a clean sheet of A4 paper, Gangye Yoshiko with a tone as if she wanted to bite Beichuan Si to death, said,

"Beichuan, you didn’t forget something, did you?"

"What?"

Hearing his calm response, frustration surged in Gangye Yoshiko, but she still patiently clung to the last hope and said,

"Didn’t you promise me? To take me along with the bodyguards to the core member meeting? There are only two hours left; I should have no problem blending in with the bodyguards by now."

Silence—

Dead silence.

The other end didn’t make any sound.

This silence made Gangye Yoshiko even suspect her phone might be broken.

After a while, Beichuan Si’s calm voice finally came through, "I was just kidding."

"You were kidding? I—"

Gangye Yoshiko’s face changed, she was about to say something else, but a dial tone came through, indicating the call had clearly been disconnected by the other party.

Gangye Yoshiko almost spewed out a mouthful of blood.

"You really did it, Beichuan," she inhaled deeply, suppressing the frustration in her chest.

To prevent her from following, he even had the audacity to say "I was kidding." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

She inhaled and exhaled slowly, taking a while to regain her composure.

Complaining was futile at this point.

What had happened had happened; she just had to accept it. Moreover, with only two hours remaining, she had to deploy her personnel; there was simply no time to blame Beichuan Si.

As more thoughts cropped up and her annoyance grew, Gangye Yoshiko forcefully suppressed this surge of anger.

Elsewhere.

Beichuan Si hung up the call and then looked at his own attire.

He had actually preempted the commands.

Indeed, bringing Gangye Yoshiko was not a wise choice; her inclusion introduced too much uncertainty.

If she were injured, it would only hinder Beichuan Si.

Why add such uncertainty to an issue that could be easily resolved?

Thinking this, already dressed and equipped Beichuan Si touched the solid object at his waist.

A handgun, two cartridges, and a miniaturized walkie-talkie...

These were the equipment distributed to each bodyguard.

According to Shirasaki Chiyoda, a core member could only bring along three bodyguards.

And within Shirasaki Chiyoda’s group of bodyguards, there were also other core members’ spies; it was normal for the bodyguards to keep tabs on each other.

Under such tight mutual surveillance, even if someone infiltrated the line of bodyguards, it would be hard to achieve anything significant.

Once inside the building where the core meeting would take place, the bodyguards would also be stationed outside in the corridors, mutually restrained.
