I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 50 Nothing to do today
early morning,

"Yeah~~~"

Suddenly hearing a scream from the second floor, Qiu Riyou, who was cooking, flashed upstairs with lightning speed and a gust of wind, and suddenly opened the door.

"Qiong, what's wrong?"

The first thing that catches the eye is Qiu Riqiong, who is frantically spraying insecticide everywhere.

"Wait, wait... stop spraying."

Stepping forward to snatch the insecticide from the girl's hand, Akihi Yu couldn't help but fan her nose.

"That's not how you use it."

"But...but there are mosquitoes~~"

She nestled into Qiu Riyou's arms, the girl pointing aggrievedly to her arm, where a red swelling was clearly visible on her fair skin.

what? !

Damn mosquitoes, I'll blast you all away, blast your teeth and mouths apart!

Fortunately, Akihi Yuu still had some sense and didn't use ninjutsu in her room. However, with summer here, it's definitely time to deal with mosquitoes.

"Let me handle it."

There was a smell of insecticide in the air.

If Qiong continues like this, it's unclear whether the mosquitoes will die or not, but the keen-nosed Akihi Yu herself won't be able to handle it.

"Let's go down for dinner first."

Knock knock knock,

They opened the window to let in some fresh air, and the two went downstairs. There was a knock on the door in the entryway.

"Who?"

Actually, there's no need to ask. With Akihi Yu's current strength, she knows exactly who's outside, even through a door.

"Nao, good morning."

The person outside the door was Nao, the class monitor who lived not far away.

"Yu, summer is here, and mosquitoes are rampant. This is lemongrass oil that my mother made herself; I'll share some with you."

The squad leader held a box of yellowish-brown essential oils that emitted a refreshing fragrance.

"Thank you, you've been a great help."

Lemongrass oil, a mosquito repellent, is a very common product.
Traditional housewives would grow lemongrass themselves and extract the essential oil themselves.

"Want to have breakfast together?"

Faced with Qiu Riyou's invitation, the class monitor took half a step forward, then withdrew.

"No,"

"Mother has prepared breakfast. See you in a bit."

"Okay, see you in a bit."

"Qiong, apply some lemongrass oil."

"I don't want it,"

In the living room, Qiu Riqiong, with her head tilted to the side, looked displeased.

"I don't want to use that woman's stuff."

"This was made by Aunt Yi'ai, don't be stubborn, come on—"

With a little sesame oil on her fingertips, she gently massaged Qiu Riqiong's arm. Although the girl said no, she did not pull away.

"It will be better soon,"

In fact, Akihi Yu had secretly used medical ninjutsu to heal the swelling and redness of Sora.

If those powerful and wealthy people who are waiting in long lines for Tiannvying's treatment knew this, they would surely be heartbroken and weep.
"Yu, Xiaoqiong."

"Nao~~"

After finishing their meal, they went outside and found the class monitor already waiting for them not far from Qiu Ri's house.

"Let's go."

The three of them went to school together.

Just like any other ordinary student.

"Summer's here, your swimming club will be open again, right?"

On the way, Qiu Riyou thought about this problem from the mosquito repellent oil that the other party had given her that morning.

"Yes,"

The swimming pool at Hozumi High School is outdoors, and in the summer, when the swimming club is most active, it means:

"Sorry, I have club activities after school, so it might be possible for the next few months."

We can't go home from school together anymore.

"It doesn't matter,"

Autumn Day doesn't seem to care about this.

Meanwhile, the focus of attention on the autumn sky was on the majestic peaks of the class monitor.

Swimming lessons naturally involve the classic "school swimsuit." And those form-fitting swimsuits are perfect for showing off your figure.

Compared to the two, it's a complete defeat!

Looking down at her own chest, Qiu Riqiong tilted her head away.

"Humph,"

Seeing his younger sister suddenly get angry again, Akihi Yu scratched his head.

Could it be because of mosquitoes?

It's decided, I'll get an insect-type spirit beast to repel mosquitoes.

Looking up at the blue sky and white clouds, Qiu Riyou felt that today was also a peaceful day.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

However, for others:
Chiyoda Ward, Prime Minister's Official Residence, Conference Room.

The small conference room was packed with people; almost all the high-ranking officials from the island nation qualified to know the truth about the extraordinary were there.

The Prime Minister, also known as the Prime Minister, was present at the meeting, along with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Finance, the Chief Cabinet Secretary, the Chairman of the National Public Safety Commission, the Minister of Defense, and Lieutenant General Akira Oba of the 1st Division.

Of course, in addition to the island nation's people, Americans were also sitting in the conference room, led by Brigadier General Thomas.

The gathering of so many top figures is obviously for what happened last night.

"Four newly emerged superhumans, and the loss of an entire regiment's modern weaponry."

Such shocking intelligence made Brigadier General Thomas shake his head upon hearing it.

American soldiers are human too. Those extraordinary beings who can control the island nation's Self-Defense Forces without making a sound can naturally control the American Marines as well. As can be seen from the images projected on the side, whether facing the 'armored warrior' or that 'Mr. Three', ordinary soldiers and police officers cannot even pull the trigger.

How can we fight this war?!
What abilities does the opponent possess?

Hypnosis, mind control, or physical domination?

America has made so many superhero movies, so it is naturally very familiar with 'superpowers'. Although we don't know what kind of superpowers the island nation has, as long as we know how they work, we can try to counter them.

"This armored warrior,"

Pointing to the screen, Director Zhu Ya stood up to explain.

"The soldiers were clearly conscious, but they had lost control of their bodies."

"Our experts tend to believe that the other party possesses abilities such as 'physical domination,' and..."

Although it's said that 'family scandals shouldn't be aired in public,' considering the government was so thoroughly infiltrated, Director Zhuya simply spoke her mind:

"The other party is very likely someone from within our Self-Defense Forces."

? !
General Ōba Akira of the 1st Division was taken aback and almost launched into a classic three-part denial.

No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!
"The other party headed straight for the armory, but deliberately avoided cameras along the way. Their skill in controlling the soldiers to open the doors almost certainly indicates that this was a case of foul play."

An inside job!

In particular, that 'super armored warrior' didn't kill any soldiers. When did monsters become so kind?
However, there are probably hundreds, if not thousands, of people qualified to visit the Self-Defense Forces. After all, the political relationships in island nations are complex, and many are in-laws who see each other all the time. Political marriages have always been the best way to maintain a family and prevent it from declining rapidly.

"I'll be in charge of checking the Self-Defense Forces,"

Lu Jiang Da Tingzhao took the initiative to accept the task, but he wasn't really prepared to find out anything.

If we really find out the truth, not to mention that the other party might be an acquaintance, just the equipment and weapons of a regiment in his possession: the casualties caused by a sudden attack would be incalculable.

But we can't just bury our heads in the sand and ignore it, can we?

Ah, extraordinary, extraordinary!
For various reasons, the island nation's Self-Defense Forces adhere to the principles of 'quality over quantity' and 'air and sea priority'.

The navy, which has always been well-treated, even surpasses that of the long-established nation of England. But now, the question is whether to send the naval guards into Tokyo Bay or to send the air guards to bomb Tokyo.
"Our army needs more military funding!"

Everyone present was an 'insider,' and Riku was going all out.

"Drones, robotic dogs, and exoskeletons—these lightweight weapons that can excel in urban warfare are exactly what we need right now!"

Whether it's warships or fighter jets, these things can't be used on the homeland. Faced with the endless stream of superhumans with terrifying mobility, the land forces will ultimately have to step in. Given this, General Da Tingzhao of the land forces naturally wanted to take the opportunity to ask for money.

When the cannons roar, gold pours in; without money, how can you wage war?

"Can,"

The Prime Minister nodded in approval, and the shift in military spending was inevitable.

Even the American carrier fleet couldn't sail all the way to Tokyo to eliminate the superhumans. Besides, given America's style, it's hard to say whether they could even eliminate the superhumans, but turning this place into ruins would be quite easy.

The American military, having received prior instructions, did not object to this.

Why not send the island nation's ground forces to deal with the superhumans, instead of letting their marines take their place?
What a joke!
The soldiers of the superior nation are so precious, how can they be used so easily?

As for the Black Hawk team rushing to steal the island nation's superhumans not long ago, that was done by the former black guy. What does it have to do with us old white guys?
"The best way to deal with the extraordinary is still to deal with the extraordinary."

Lieutenant General Thomas spoke up.

"I've heard that the Metropolitan Police Department has three superhumans in its hands."

coming!

Director Zhu Ya's face was gloomy; the so-called 'internal and external troubles' were nothing more than this.

"Of course, these are all valuable talents for our island nation. We Americans wouldn't make things difficult for heroes, so—"

"We need five vials of the extraordinary serum!"

? !
Suddenly everything went black, and Director Zhuya almost fainted on the spot.

Five vials of extraordinary serum have just been extracted from the secret base in Setagaya Ward!
Even places like that have been infiltrated like this, sigh...
Not only Director Takeya, but all the other high-ranking officials from the island nation looked grim: regardless of whether there were any 'traitors' among them, at least at this moment, they had to show their attitude.

"I cannot make the decision myself. Please consult with the Foreign Minister."

Director Zhu Ya practically spat out those words through gritted teeth.

Upon hearing this, the Foreign Minister's face suddenly turned even uglier, and he had no choice but to speak up.

Five is too many.

"Hmph, you already have Tanimura Wataru and the superhuman dog he transformed into."

He slammed his hand on the table.
Brigadier General Thomas finally revealed his true colors as a superior man.

"This is just the first batch. The basis of our cooperation is that we share all extraordinary resources!"

Since it's about sharing, what's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine!
