This Japanese Monogatari Isn't Lame-Chapter 584 - 368: Listen to Me, Listen to Me! (4000 words)

The night in Shibuya District was not so quiet.

As one of the wealthier areas of Tokyo’s twenty-three wards, the steady flow of traffic in Shibuya District continued even at one or two o’clock in the morning.

And today... the sense of liveliness was far beyond any ordinary day.

The flashing blue and red police lights and the piercing sound of police sirens announced the unrest in this place.

Police lines were drawn, and officers carrying riot shields and wearing bulletproof vests stormed into the No. 3 commercial building next to Miyashita Park.

Soon after, intense gunfire erupted from within.

But the gunshots quickly died down, followed by a heavy silence.

The whole process took just ten minutes, astonishingly quick.

But upon further consideration, it made sense.

The human body is exceedingly fragile; the kind of thug who can take a dozen bullets and still clutch a gun to continue raging is simply not possible.

Just one bullet, even if it doesn’t hit a vital spot, can render a person incapable of resisting.

And as for exchanging fire for an hour, or even half an hour... that was mostly outside the scope of this kind of small-scale suppression.

"So, is that all you have to say, Beichuan Si?" Gangye Yoshiko lit a cigarette for ladies by her side and glanced sideways at Beichuan Si.

Beichuan Si had told her everything about the Church of Truth and Happiness core members’ private armed forces and the considerable amount of money they had hidden.

It was all donated by the believers of the Happiness Truth Sect... or proceeds from peddling "Fragments of Happiness."

Such blood-stained money, even if placed in front of Beichuan Si, he would not even care to look at it.

Moreover, now that Beichuan Si was not short of money, it was reasonable for him to share this information with Gangye Yoshiko.

"That’s about it," Beichuan Si confirmed after going over his memory and not finding anything missing, he spoke calmly.

However, upon hearing Beichuan Si say this, a terrifying smile emerged on Gangye Yoshiko’s face.

She pinched the cigarette, reminding in as calm a tone as possible: "Beichuan, have you forgotten something?"

Beichuan Si raised his eyes steadily: "What are you referring to?"

This little punk was still playing dumb with her!

Gangye Yoshiko was furious.

Beichuan Si had promised to bring her along to infiltrate the core members’ meeting! And what happened?

He had flatly said: "I was kidding."

The casual tone of that statement made Gangye Yoshiko, even now, want to reach out and twist that expressionless face of his.

Beichuan Si spoke again.

It was that same nonchalant tone.

"Compared to that—"

Click!

Gangye Yoshiko’s eyes widened in surprise.

The burning ladies’ cigarette was snatched by Beichuan Si’s hand, extinguished, and thrown into the ashtray of the police car in front of her.

I haven’t even taken a puff yet!

Gangye Yoshiko opened her mouth.

"Cut down on smoking, it’s bad for your health. Or are you saying that even in front of minors, you still need to have a puff or two?"

Now, that was a very Beichuan-style thing to say.

It was a hard jab that left Gangye Yoshiko choke with repressed frustration.

Yet she couldn’t say a word in response.

"Alright, alright," Gangye Yoshiko waved her hand and took out some chewing gum from her pocket.

After spitting out a few pieces, she chewed while turning her head to look towards the commercial building.

What the police were doing now was just clearing up the aftermath, investigating all the facts, and finally spreading it through the internet and press conferences.

To be honest, this was the situation Gangye Yoshiko was least adept at handling.

"Ah... I have to face those media people again." Gangye Yoshiko scratched her head, uttering the words with great reluctance.

If you asked Gangye Yoshiko to do her job, she would without complaint complete it neatly and beautifully.

But dealing with the media was not her forte.

Gangye Yoshiko was a lazy person from the start and simply couldn’t muster the enthusiasm for such tasks.

Thinking this, she started to chew her gum more quickly.

In the end, all her thoughts turned into bitter sarcasm.

She looked at Beichuan Si, taunting in a half-serious, half-joking tone: "How about just revealing your existence to the world? ’The Empire’s Violent High Schooler: Single-handedly Destroys Religious Nest’... I’ve even thought of the headline for you."

"..." Beichuan Si did not speak, just looked at Gangye Yoshiko.

His overly profound gaze made Gangye Yoshiko cough twice: "Just kidding! Just kidding!"

She had also considered the aftermath of Beichuan Si’s identity being exposed... She had even thought about reporting Beichuan Si’s special abilities to her superiors.

With Beichuan Si’s assistance, fighting crime would undoubtedly become much more efficient, and the police station would operate more rationally.

But all of these were denied by Gangye Yoshiko’s tenacious spirit.

The reason was simple.

She, Gangye Yoshiko, did not want Beichuan Si to get involved in these matters.

Although many of the things were done by Beichuan Si, that was definitely not what Gangye Yoshiko wanted to see.

She didn’t want Beichuan Si to do the dirty and tiring work...

Especially like this time with the Church of Truth and Happiness, Gangye Yoshiko did not want Beichuan Si to get too involved.

But the help from the other party had obviously sped up the process of solving the case.

It was a very conflicting and complicated feeling for Gangye Yoshiko.
