[Tribe Heavenly Demon Church (1)]
Joo Sang-wook carries I took down the telescope and sighed.
‘It was wrong to pass by quietly.’
The group arrived at Tribe Orochi’s territory and were looking at a huge castle on a hill.
The walls were built 5 meters high, and watchtowers were erected at intervals of 100 meters.
Men armed with guns stood guard in the watchtower.
“What do you think, Vice President?”
Joo Sang-wook asked for the opinion of the person next to him.
“Many troops are armed with firearms, and drone infrared cameras can be seen in the sky… They even have machine guns and anti-aircraft guns installed.”
Without a telescope, Daein examined the situation on the wall more closely than Joo Sang-wook.
The great man scratched his chin and continued speaking.
“I thought civilization had regressed because it had changed like the Warring States Period. “It’s shockingly well-equipped with modern weapons.”
The Tribe was more of a systematic military organization than they expected.
I didn’t expect it to be at the level of samurai walking around wearing clogs and swords, but even Daein didn’t expect it to be this serious.
The great man muttered to himself.
“I don’t think it would be possible to fly by without being detected with this number of people… Breaking through with force wouldn’t be possible, right?”
When Daein turned to the side, Joo Sang-wook shook his head with a stern expression.
“You must never cause conflict with local superhumans.”
They came to represent the Korean government and form an alliance with the Japanese government and Japanese superhumans.
If a fight were to cause a problem, the two countries could have become hostile, let alone an alliance.
Joo Sang-wook sighed.
“I can’t help it. “I will proceed with the second plan.”
The group planned to pass through Tribe Orochi on their way here.
The best way is to pass quietly without anyone noticing.
However, I saw with my own eyes that their security was stricter than I imagined.
In the end, they decided to take the next best option.
“Please everyone gather together.”
Lily and Shin, who were waiting in the back, approached.
Joo Sang-wook looked around at the group who had completed their disguises and sighed lightly.
‘I feel like I’m at some kind of cosplay event.’
Even though it was a disguise to disguise myself as a local, I thought it was a bit excessive.
Especially….
“Why do you look at me like that?”
“it’s nothing.”
Joo Sang-wook shook his head and continued.
“Our top priority is to go to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building and make contact with the Japanese government. Until then, we must avoid collisions with local Japanese superhumans as much as possible.”
To get to their destination, they had to pass through Tribe Orochi’s territory.
Lily, who had dyed black hair and black eyes, raised her hand and asked a question.
“Then we can’t fight?”
“It’s not possible.”
“What if the bad guys attack us first?”
“…That won’t happen. Mr. Shin. “I’m sure the information you provided us is correct, right?”
“yes.”
A girl with a somewhat dark mood nodded. Perhaps because he had gotten used to wearing women’s clothes for a few days, Shin looked oddly shy.
“The western wall has the weakest perimeter because there are few people coming and going. And the pursuers would have flocked to the northern wall where I escaped…”
So the party returned to the western wall, not the nearest northern wall.
God continued.
“If the order hasn’t changed, the warrior on duty today is Genji, and he’s simple and greedy, so if you just bribe him a little, he’ll let you pass easily.”
The boy didn’t escape from the tribe by luck.
We conducted a thorough investigation for a year, and based on that, we put into action a detailed plan.
The information Shin had was of great help to the party.
“The most dangerous person in there is Tamashi, the lord’s henchman. “They’re quick to notice, so it’s best to avoid encountering them as much as possible.”
Tamashi has the [Avatar] ability, and the blue ghost that Shin and Lily encountered a few days ago was his ability.
“You probably will never meet the lord, but if you do…”
Shin trembled in fear as he thought of something at that moment. Lily was next to me, holding my hand and comforting me.
“don’t worry! “You and I will punish the bad guys.”
“…….”
“I just said there would be no conflict.”
Joo Sang-wook said, pressing his throbbing temple. He turned to Daein and spoke as if asking.
“Vice President.”
The great man, who understood what he meant, placed his hands on Lily and Shin’s heads one by one.
“hey. “Little guys.”
Lily looked up at the great man with innocent eyes and eyes full of fear.
Although their facial expressions were completely different, the two were strangely similar. The great man lightly stroked their heads.
‘I’d believe it if they said they were sisters.’
“The adults will take care of the work here, so you just follow along. okay?”
Lily nodded with a sulky expression, and Shin lowered his head with a dark expression.
Daein nodded with satisfaction and looked back at Joo Sangwook and said.
“I think the kids understand well, so let’s go in now.”
‘No matter how I look at it, it’s not a face I recognize. Besides…’
Joo Sang-wook sighed quietly as he looked at the costumes that Dae-in had changed into as a disguise.
‘Your outfit is too splashy.’
I wanted to say that a while ago, but Joo Sang-wook just kept his mouth shut.
Because it wasn’t really a problem. It’s also Japan…
After a while, the group arrived in front of the western castle wall.
The great man stepped forward and shouted proudly.
“We are the people of the Tribe Heavenly Demon Church from Niigata Prefecture! “I have some business to do in Tokyo, so please open the door!”
He was wearing samurai clothing, clogs, and three swords at his waist.
***
Watch post on the western wall.
The soldier carefully called Genji, who was sleeping.
“Hey Genji. Genji?”
“Grumbling…”
A deep disdain appeared in the soldier’s eyes as he looked at Genji.
‘After all, this bastard is on duty today.’
The atmosphere in the tribe is already tense due to the recent escape of the squires…
Genji was an object of contempt not only among the soldiers but also among his fellow samurai. He was lazy and disloyal, and when a fight broke out, he was busy protecting himself first.
‘A bastard who awakened a superpower and was lucky enough to become a warrior.’
Nevertheless, Genji awakened his ‘ability’ and became a warrior of the Tribe.
On the other hand, even if a soldier trained to death, he was just a soldier for the rest of his life.
‘Greedy pig.’
The soldier grabbed Genji by the shoulder and shook him gently. Genji’s thick chin and belly fluttered with the movement.
“Lord Genji. Wake up. “I am a visitor.”
“Umm…what is it?”
Genji opened his eyes, wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth. He narrowed his eyes and glared at the soldier.
“This bastard… I told you not to wake me up when I was sleeping.”
“sorry. A situation arose that I could not handle under my authority…”
“What? “Just pretend it’s no big deal.”
The soldier said, pointing to a monitor connected to a camera installed outside the castle walls.
“We have visitors.”
Genji followed the finger, looked at the four people on the monitor, and opened his small eyes as wide as possible.
“what? “Why are you suddenly a visitor?”
Few visitors come to his western wall. Therefore, warriors of no particular significance, like Genji, were mainly on duty here.
“Two adults and two kids?”
Genji rubbed his sleepy eyes and checked the images of the group on the monitor one by one.
At the front stood a man wearing samurai clothing and clogs. He had three swords on his belt.
“…Do you like the concept of cosplay?”
Among talented people who watched a lot of cartoons when I was young, there were often people like that.
Behind him, a handsome man wearing a full suit was following. Heo Yeon’s face is more handsome than most celebrities due to her long waist.
“He looks pretty fine.”
And behind them were beautiful girls with black hair.
“Key. “When they grow up, they will make a lot of men cry.”
Genji was amazed by the beauty of the two girls, as if they were drawn from a painting. However, since his taste was towards mature women, he did not develop any further feelings.
Although other warriors in the tribe might think differently.
“Lord Genji?”
“…uh? why?”
The soldier said, suppressing his frustration at the slow response.
“They have been asking us to open the door since a while ago.”
“Oh yeah?”
Genji spoke into a microphone connected to the outside.
[What are you guys? Where are you from?]
The soldiers frowned at his frivolous tone.
A man with three swords hanging from his belt stepped forward.
His voice echoed loudly through the castle walls.
“We are the people of the Heavenly Demon Church from Niigata! “I have business in Tokyo and am passing through here, so please open the door!”
Genji, feeling the magic in that voice, widened his eyes.
“Are you talented?”
After a while, Genji grabbed his weapon and climbed the castle wall. The soldiers followed behind him.
Clap, clap, clap!
Dozens of guns were fired from above the walls and pointed down below. Daein and his party raised their hands to show that they had no will to resist.
Genji said, looking down at them.
“Church of the Heavenly Demon? “Is this your first time hearing a name like that?”
“It’s new recently. “Have you not heard it yet?”
In fact, it was not uncommon for the name of a tribe to change or be created as the lord changed.
This trend was more severe in provinces where the territory had not yet been properly established.
Genji said with a grin.
“I haven’t heard of it? “Country folk change lords very often.”
Despite Genji’s seemingly dismissive words, the great man smiled kindly.
“Soon we will be as famous as you. “I plan to establish a branch in Tokyo soon.”
Genji thought that was a joke and said, “Hehehe.” I laughed.
It’s not a headquarters but a branch in Tokyo, where the four major tribes already exist. Of course it had to be a joke.
The great man looked up at Genji and grinned.
“I’m tired after coming a long way. Could you please open the door first?”
“What is the purpose of your visit?”
“I’m going to Shinjuku after passing here. “I need to meet some people there.”
“How many warriors are there in the group?”
“I am the only one.”
“wait. Samurai of the Three Swords Style.”
Genji looked around at them.
Two kids and one gentleman in a suit.
The only one who could fight properly was a swordsman who seemed to be obsessed with concepts. Even that didn’t seem that great.
‘It’s obvious that the warrior from the province has skills.’
Genji’s eyes lit up after deciding that the group was not a threat.
‘I wonder if the country guys have anything.’
Genji grinned and spoke to the soldier next to him.
“Open.”
Kugugoogung!
The gate opened and Daein’s group entered the tribe.
For a brief moment, Daein and Joo Sang-wook’s eyes met.
‘It’s going smoothly so far.’
‘God was right.’
Genji approached Daein and his party as they entered the castle gate. Behind him, dozens of guns were pointed at the group.
“Give back your weapons.”
The great man obediently handed over all three swords. The other party members had no weapons whatsoever.
Genji received the great man’s sword and took it out from its sheath. Soon he muttered with a disappointed expression.
“It’s not a very good sword, is it?”
“If you cover the brush, it’s not a masterpiece.”
The three swords Genji was holding were famous swords representing each dimension. However, the person in charge had just taken appropriate measures in advance to make it look normal.
Genji, completely unaware of this fact, lost interest in the sword and handed it over to the soldier next to him.
The group underwent a brief physical examination and baggage inspection. No major problems were found.
“You’re going to Shinjuku? “There’s something to see there… What are your plans to stay here?”
It was Joo Sang-wook who answered.
“doesn’t exist. “My schedule is urgent, so I’m thinking of passing by right away.”
Genji looked him up and down and picked his nose. As expected, he looked like he had a lot of money.
“It must be that difficult, right? “Something happened on our side recently. You also need to undergo an investigation for a few days.”
Joo Sang-wook answered with a troubled expression.
“We don’t have time to waste…”
Genji, seeing that, bounced his boogers on the floor.
A greasy smile formed on his lips.
“Just follow me.”
