Chapter 421 – Episode 47. Intimidation, Intimidation, Intimidation and Ritual.
Tokyo International Airport.
A man got off a flight from New York to Tokyo. He was a white man with pomaded blond hair slicked back, sunglasses, a tight suit, and tattoos with magical meaning on the backs of his hands and on the knuckles of his fingers.
“Does it make sense for it to be this hot in late September?”
The sunglasses man walked, nervously pulling down his tie. When he saw the smoking area, he took out a cigarette from his chest and asked.
No matter how hot and humid Japan is, the heat usually subsides at the end of September and the weather becomes pleasant, but this year it was particularly hot. In a way, it was natural for a man who came to Tokyo from New York, which was just getting cooler, to be nervous.
As the sunglasses man was smoking a cigarette, two men, a large bald black man and a Latino-looking man in a suit, rushed over. Seeing two people dragging large luggage, it seemed a bit late to pack the luggage.
“Also! “You didn’t even pack your luggage because you wanted to smoke, right?”
“We wasted time taking care of the team leader’s luggage.”
The black man said as if he agreed with the Latino man. Blonde Sunglasses He furrowed his eyebrows above the rest of his sunglasses and exhaled smoke from his cigarette. Then he threw a cigarette into the common ashtray and opened his mouth as he came out of the smoking area.
“You know it’s not a cigarette.”
“Who believes that humans drink fire?”
“Then you believe in vampires?”
The blonde sunglasses man was a famous pyromancer and vampire hunter in the American underworld. His characteristic features were his pomade-covered hair, sunglasses, and a cigarette in his mouth. A Latino man scolded him for smoking because he made the excuse that he needed to drink fire to use his skills. Only the blond sunglasses man would know whether that story was an excuse or true.
“Because I’ve seen vampires in person. He even tried to kill… “I said something because I saw the team leader using an open flame even when he wasn’t smoking.”
“Angel, stop. The team leader would have understood this much.”
The Latino man called Angel tried to say a few more words, but was stopped by the black man and kept quiet. The blonde sunglasses man called the team leader grinned at the sight and took his steps.
“Egg plant. “There will be someone coming to meet us.”
“Does the person who knows what to expect smoke a cigarette as soon as they get off?”
“Ah, I heard you have to drink fire. “This is no different from the enemy camp, so we need to prepare in advance.”
“I’m anxious because I couldn’t take my weapon with me because of the plane, so let’s go quickly and get ready.”
The people who were walking while talking about something disturbing, such as enemy territory or weapons, eventually went to a corner of the Tokyo International Airport parking lot. In the parking lot, there was a Japanese man leaning against a heavy vehicle, a Hummer H₁. He was a tall, thin man, and he was also wearing a black suit. He was a man with an ordinary, smiling face that was so indistinguishable that you couldn’t tell him apart from the crowd.
“Are you from the New York branch?”
“Exactly. “This is team leader Jack Henderson.”
Jack Henderson, the blond sunglasses man, held out his hand. The Japanese man who was waiting also extended his hand and shook each other’s hands. The rest also shook hands and exchanged greetings.
“This is Ángel Ramírez.”
“It’s malik Lieberman.”
“It is called Ankoji Satoi (安岡寺慧維).”
After everyone exchanged greetings, they got into the Hummer with Ankoji Satoi leaning against it. There was a duffel bag inside the vehicle, and when Malik Lieberman, a black man, flipped the duffel bag over and spilled it on the floor, his pistol and submachine gun spilled out.
“Don’t you have a sniper rifle?”
“The sniper rifle is in the trunk.”
Ankoji Satoi started talking about her sniper rifle as if there was more to eat in the back seat.
Clap, clap!
While Ankoji Satoi started the engine, Angel Ramirez and Malik Lieberman checked the guns, taking aim and loading the guns. Jack Henderson was sitting comfortably in the passenger seat, looking forward.
“You’ll have bullets ready, right?”
“It’s under the chair. Most of them are silver-plated bullets, and there are about 30 mithril-coated bullets in each cartridge. Of course, as you know, use mithril-coated bullets sparingly. Because each bullet costs 2,200 yen. “I will get scolded if I spend everything on trivial matters.”
“We don’t even have mithril-coated bullets. I wonder where I can save money like that and spend it…”
After hearing Ankoji Satoi’s words, Angel Ramirez and Malik Lieberman looked under the chair and saw a khaki cartridge. When I opened the magazine, I found that it was full of 5.56 mm silver-plated bullets, which are effective against deformed humans such as vampires and werewolves. One magazine was a silver-blue mithril-coated bullet that Ankoji Satoi had told me to use sparingly. It was.
“But since I was told to come pick you up, what exactly are you guys for…” . Oh, of course you came because of the vampires. But I don’t know why people from the New York branch came. “Can you tell me?”
“Angel, you like talking, so I’ll tell you.”
After hearing Ankoji Satoi’s words, Jack Henderson, who was sitting in the passenger seat, glanced at Angel Ramirez and said.
“Team leader Jack! If Ankoji hears this, he’ll think I’m a talkative person. Still, since Mr. Ankoji is curious, let me tell you the story for a moment. It is a story that started a year ago last summer.”
Angel Ramirez obviously denied being a talker, but he seemed to like talking. The story that came out of Angel Dayardo’s mouth was that of a young vampire who had been at war with the Black Moon Company in New York a year ago. Recently, there was a story about the destruction of the New York branch of the Black Moon Company and the victory of the vampires.
“Even though she had some help, the vampire girl eventually got her revenge. Well, if the public heard it, they would say it’s good that the gang has fallen, but don’t you know Ankoji well?”
“Yes. In the end, they violated an agreement that the public was not aware of.”
As Angel Ramirez spoke about the public, Ankoji Satoi, who was driving, also nodded her head. Since they all belong to one group, they are talking and sympathizing with each other.
Jack Henderson, Angel Ramirez, Malik Lieberman, and Ankoji Satoi were vampire hunters belonging to a group called SPF (Silver Pail Federation). The Vampire Hunters’ League was comprised of vampire hunters from around the world, and its main mission was to protect humans from vampires and werewolves.
SPF signed agreements with several vampire groups, one of which was Japan’s Otagiga. The agreement was that Otagiga would not harm the public, but SPF would not attack Otagiga.
Several historic European vampire families also signed up to this agreement, and SPF agents were engaged in activities such as dealing with naturally occurring vampires and werewolves, or executing vampire forces that rejected the agreement and vampires who violated the agreement. 〈 Br〉
This time, Yuka Otagi’s serious accident in New York was also a violation of the agreement. She also violated the agreement by single-handedly wiping out the Black Moon Company.
The Black Moon Company destroyed by Yuka Otagi In Japan, the New York branch of Kurotsuki Doo was a corporation, but behind it were villains no different from a gang, but from the SPF perspective, they were ordinary people. A few vampire hunters argued that gangs and ordinary people were the same, but that opinion was ignored because the faction currently controlling the SPF was a faction that claimed that even dogmatic gangs were friendly to the public.
In conclusion, because the epicenter of the incident caused by Yuka Otagi was New York, three agents were dispatched from the New York branch. As dispatched agents, all three boasted outstanding skills.
“I’ve heard rumors about you, but I don’t think we can get rid of the Otagi family with just three people, and I only plan to deal with Yuka Otagi, who did this.”
“Exactly. To eradicate the Ota family, which is building up its influence in Japan, half of the SPF agents from around the world would have to come. “It’s just too much for the three of us.”
“Yes. “Other powers will also be displeased with SPF working in Japan, so there will be invisible pressure.”
Ankoji Satoi nodded her head at Jack Henderson’s words.
In Japan, where many gods have been worshiped since ancient times, vampires have also become objects of worship as a form of god, and the Otagi family is no different. His mysterious appearance, powerful strength, and ability to drink blood, the source of vitality, made him an object of worship, and the Otagi family gathered strength based on that.
Unlike other vampire families or factions, the moderate Otagi family, which has never committed massacre or massacre, has successfully become part of the vested interests in modern times. If there was a large-scale attack on the Otagiga, there was a high possibility that other vested interests in Japan would perceive that overseas forces were attacking the Japanese family.
“That can’t be helped. First, I have to warn Otagiga. “If you interfere with the treatment of Yuka Otagi, you will also become a target of SPF.”
“As expected, we should warn the Otagi family in advance. Ah, it has arrived!”
Ankoji Satoi pointed to one side with his hand. It was a shabby building on the outskirts of Tokyo. Although it looked shabby on the outside, it was a tiger’s den where over a hundred vampire hunters were waiting.
