I don't want to be an elf!

In order to achieve her great goal of eating three meals in one sitting, Tokisaki Kurumi went to Mori Ōgai's office.

Mori Ougai looked at Tokisaki Kurumi, who had come to work early in the morning, with a look of utter disbelief.

Although she is the guerrilla leader under the Boss, Mori Ougai actually knows that she is different from Akutagawa Ryunosuke. He has very little control over her and she is not loyal at all.

She should be grateful if she can finish her work on time, let alone show up for work on time.

Just as Mori Ougai was wondering what she was doing here, Tokisaki Kurumi spoke up: "Last night, I saw Nakajima Atsushi."

Mori Ougai was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Tokisaki Kurumi to take action so quickly, and asked with concern, "You started your operation last night? Why didn't you send some black lizards to assist in the capture?"

The Black Lizards are a special unit of the Port Mafia's armed combat group. Unlike ordinary members, each Black Lizard is an elite who has undergone special training by officers.

With the organization's massive financial support, once the Black Lizards are equipped with sophisticated gear, they can even rival government special forces.

The three leaders of the Black Lizard are key members of the fighting group and familiar faces on the government's wanted list. Each of them possesses talents or abilities that are difficult for ordinary people to match.

Of the three black lizards, only one is a superhuman. The other two, although they do not have superpowers, can achieve effects comparable to superpowers simply through their own abilities.

Although they are a special unit belonging to the combat group, Kurumi Tokisaki, as the guerrilla captain directly under the Boss, holds a position second only to the executives in the organization, and therefore has the authority to mobilize the Black Lizards to carry out missions.

"I wasn't on a mission. I just happened to come into contact with Nakajima while I was taking a walk," Kurumi Tokisaki explained. "Although I've already read the information you gave me about Atsushi Nakajima, I still wanted to see his abilities for myself, so I followed him for a while."

"So, have you made any new discoveries?"

“Fortunately, I witnessed Nakajima Atsushi’s rampage last night and saw the form of the Moon Tiger,” Tokisaki Kurumi said. “It is indeed a very powerful combat-type ability. Even without directly fighting it, I can guess why Akutagawa failed to capture it multiple times.”

"The main reason for the failed arrest was the obstruction from other members of the Armed Detective Agency," Mori Ougai said fairly. "With Akutagawa's strength, even Nakajima Atsushi, who was in a trance, would not be his match."

Then, he revealed a slightly amused expression: "Or are you saying that you, who can even defeat Akutagawa-kun, cannot defeat a big cat?"

"How can it be."

Kurumi Tokisaki's expression remained unchanged as she shook her head slightly: "Although Nakajima's ability has a very high ceiling, it hasn't become powerful yet. As long as I take action, I will definitely be able to defeat him easily."

"If that's the case, why don't I see Atsushi Nakajima tied up right now?"

"Because other members of the detective agency were involved last night, I didn't intervene."

"who."

"Dazai Osamu."

Mori Ougai nodded slightly, understanding why Tokisaki Kurumi hadn't made a move.

Osamu Dazai, his former right-hand man and the designated next Port Mafia Boss, was also his student in a sense.

Mori Ōgai certainly knew Dazai Osamu, and that's why he knew how troublesome Dazai Osamu was as an enemy.

It seems that even the mysterious Kurumi Tokisaki is wary of her students.

“I reassessed the difficulty of this capture mission, and I believe the reward is not commensurate with the effort I need to put in.”

"Oh? One percent of the bounty isn't enough to satisfy your appetite?"

The bounty offered by the group for the capture mission was a staggering seven billion dollars, a figure that would make any organization envious.

Even if it's only one percent, that's still $70,000, enough for an ordinary person to live a life of luxury and ease until old age.

"Mr. Mori, do you think I'm someone who's short of money?" Kurumi Tokisaki asked.

Mori Ōgai thought about it and realized that what she said was indeed correct.

She doesn't even need to work; she can simply use her stealth abilities to enter the national treasury, steal a few tons of gold bars, and rake in a fortune.

Although I don't know why she doesn't do it, Kurumi Tokisaki will never be short of money if she wants to.

"So, what else do you need?" Mori Ougai leaned forward, knowing that this was the purpose of Tokisaki Kurumi's visit to him today, and he had to perk up.

"It's very simple, just an address."

"What address?"

"The address of the Yokohama branch of the Special Abilities Agency."

The Special Ability Agency is arguably the most mysterious of the three major special ability organizations.

As a special department under the government, the existence and activities of the Special Abilities Agency are known only to those in high positions within the government, and ordinary people have only heard of its existence.

The Port Mafia's headquarters can be seen at a glance as soon as you enter Yokohama, the Armed Detective Agency's headquarters can be found by making a phone call, but the headquarters of the Special Abilities Agency is known to very few people.

Even Kurumi Tokisaki, who was a time traveler, didn't know.

After all, it didn't appear that many times in the original work.

Of course, given Tokisaki Kurumi's investigative abilities, even if she doesn't know now, she can eventually find out her location by investigating seriously.

Other supernatural organizations spend years finding even the slightest clue, but she can probably find it in a few weeks, or at most a few months.

However, whether it's a few weeks or a few months, it's too long.

She doesn't have that much free time to waste on superpowered agents.

It would be better to just ask Mori Ougai. After all, the Port Mafia has been secretly investigating for a long time and has already obtained the exact address of the Special Ability Agency.

Upon hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's request, Mori Ougai narrowed his eyes and said nonchalantly, "The Special Ability Agency is protected by the government. I only know that it is in Yokohama, but I don't know exactly where it is hiding to monitor the city."

"Don't joke around, Mr. Mori. The Port Mafia is the local bigwigs in Yokohama. How could there be anything you don't know?"

"Even the Port Mafia isn't omniscient."

“But I am.” Tokisaki Kurumi smiled. “Could it be that Mr. Mori has forgotten that one of my abilities is to read memories? I know most of what Mr. Mori knows.”

"If that's the case, why are you asking me again?"

"Because you know the location of the Special Ability Agency, you just haven't memorized it." Tokisaki Kurumi shrugged. "But just because Mori Ougai can't remember it doesn't mean the Port Mafia can't. I suppose the intelligence team knows the location of the Special Ability Agency, right?"

Chapter Thirty-Five: My Turn, Draw Cards!

Mori Ougai had a bit of a headache.

As Kurumi Tokisaki said, the Port Mafia knew the location of the Yokohama branch of the Special Abilities Agency.

However, this intelligence was obtained with great difficulty and at great expense of resources by the intelligence team. Even the Special Abilities Agency itself did not know that their location had been exposed. This intelligence has always been used by the Port Mafia as one of their trump cards in negotiations with the government.

After all, if the Special Abilities Agency found out about this, they would definitely relocate their base, rendering the Port Mafia's years of efforts futile.

Then, it will be even more difficult to find their base again.

Now that Tokisaki Kurumi is certain that the Port Mafia controls the location of the Special Ability Agency, Mori Ōgai can no longer keep up the act.

Faced with this troublesome request, he weighed the pros and cons and asked, "What do you need the address of the Special Abilities Agency for?"

"Find someone."

"Who?"

"Sakaguchi Ango."

Kurumi Tokisaki wants to join the Special Ability Agency, but it's clear that she can't join through conventional means.

As a government-affiliated organization for people with superpowers, to join it, one must first be a registered person with superpowers with the government, and then undergo assessment and strict background checks.

However, Kurumi Tokisaki's identity was fabricated by the Port Mafia. Under normal circumstances, there would be no problem, but once investigated closely, she would definitely be exposed.

Therefore, there is only one way to join the Special Abilities Agency.

Find directly the head of the Yokohama branch of the Special Ability Agency, Ango Sakaguchi.

This is the method that Kurumi Tokisaki came up with to infiltrate the special agents' agency.

Of course, Ango Sakaguchi is not so easily fooled; a series of actions will be needed to achieve his goal.

But in any case, finding Ango Sakaguchi is the first step toward achieving the goal.

"You want to find him? Why?" Mori Ougai's expression turned serious. "He's the government's representative for supernatural abilities in Yokohama. If you kill him, the government won't let it go."

"Kill him? Why would I kill him?" Kurumi Tokisaki asked, puzzled.

"If you're not going to kill him, why are you looking for him?" Mori Ougai was taken aback.

"I just wanted to have a friendly talk with him," Kurumi Tokisaki chuckled. "Mr. Mori, what am I to you?"

"Don't you know who I am?" Mori Ougai's lips twitched as he thought to himself.

He coughed twice to cover up his inner thoughts and continued, "If you just want to talk to him, there's no need to go to the location of the Special Abilities Agency. I can lure him out."

Kurumi Tokisaki thought about it and agreed to the plan.

Although she could directly use the Tenth Bullet on the Port Mafia intelligence team members to read the location of the Special Ability Agency from their memories, she had to give in for the time being, considering that the fragile trust between her and Mori Ōgai might be shattered as a result.

There's still some time before the North American group arrives, and at least in the meantime, she can't do anything too outrageous.

Even if deep down, neither Tokisaki Kurumi nor Mori Ougai trusted each other, they still had to put on a good show.

“Give me some time to prepare. It won’t be easy to lure Sakaguchi out,” Mori Ougai said. “I can grant your request and not pursue what you and he will discuss, but you must complete your mission.”

"Of course."

"Within a month."

Kurumi Tokisaki hesitated for a moment, then said after thinking for a while, "No problem."

One month, no more, no less.

However, according to the timeline in the original work, the group only came to Yokohama in person about a month later because they couldn't wait any longer.

All she needs to do is be a last-minute warrior and drag things out as long as possible.

After saying goodbye, Kurumi Tokisaki disappeared into the shadows and left the Port Mafia headquarters.

In the shadow space.

Kurumi Tokisaki and her four other clones stood together, discussing their next move.

"The plan is progressing smoothly," said Clone Number One.

"As for the Special Abilities Agency, we just need to wait for the Port Mafia member Ango Sakaguchi to be lured out, and then we can officially begin the first step," said Clone Number Two.

“However, Mori Ougai said he needs some time to prepare. In the meantime, we can use this time to do other things,” said Clone Number Three.

“We can’t control when Ango Sakaguchi appears. We can put the matter of infiltrating the Special Ability Agency on hold for now. I’ll proceed with the next step of the plan whenever Mori Ougai informs me,” Kurumi Tokisaki said. “Therefore, I think we can shift our attention to the Armed Detective Agency for now.”
