[ Shinjuku Ranger (3) ]
Shinjuku Ranger is red About 30 minutes after the battle with the wild dog pack began.
After a battle that will go down in history, they succeeded in taking out all the red wild dogs that opened the gate.
“Whoa… I’m sorry for keeping you waiting. “The enemies were stronger than expected.”
Red, whose helmet was full of scratches, approached Daein and his group. The wound was clearly visible through the tattered red tights.
However, even with cuts and bites all over his body, Red still spoke in a cheerful voice.
“Then let’s go to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building now!”
“…I think we should treat the wound first.”
Joo Sang-wook looked at Red with a worried expression. Among the three, Red had the most wounds on his body.
The great man knew the reason.
‘That’s because you keep shouting out nonsensical skill names and turning off aggro. Thanks to that, the other guys weren’t hurt that much…’
The great man looked at him with a frown, as if he didn’t understand Red’s fighting style.
Red spoke in a cheerful voice, like someone who couldn’t feel pain.
“This level can be cured with just one hit. look. Haap!”
Red showed off his spirit by striking a bicep pose.
Then, the wounds on my body slowly began to heal.
Sssseu…
It was several times slower than the potion, but the process of stopping the bleeding and healing the wound was amazing.
Of course, it wasn’t really due to spirit.
“You have regenerative properties.”
Joo Sang-wook, recognizing his opponent’s ability, nodded. Only then did Daein understand Red’s fighting style.
‘They believed that and were attacked on purpose.’
[Regeneration] is a pretty good feature.
In the case of superhumans with the highest level of regenerative ability, even if their limbs were cut off, they could be regenerated in a matter of seconds.
Daein had personally seen such a case in the past.
‘I said it felt like death because rebirth and pain are separate things.’
Red’s current regenerative ability was at a mediocre level.
However, just because a trait you have now is not good, it does not mean that it will not be good forever.
The characteristics of a superhuman tend to be trained, and there are often cases where they are reexamined in the future after research and development.
So….
‘It depends on how you raise it.’
The corners of the man’s mouth drew a meaningful smile. But none of the others saw the smile.
Because
“Hey! Shinjuku otakus!”
“I didn’t die today either.”
“Tell me to train hard on a regular basis. “What if I get stumped by such a weak monster?”
The citizens who had run away came back and said something to the Shinjuku Ranger. Some of them had been watching from afar since the fighting began.
Whirling!
Red said, standing on his bike and striking a funny pose.
“Peace today too! Shinjuku Ranger is always by your side!”
“Phew. “You’re laughing.”
“You’re condescending for just catching a wild dog.”
Citizens came giggling. They took the bodies of the red spotted wild dogs one by one.
Some dismembered the wild dogs on the spot and took only the meat.
Joo Sang-wook looked at the scene with a puzzled expression.
“Why the monster’s corpse…? No way?”
“You probably want to take it and eat it.”
Joo Sang-wook was silent at Daein’s words.
I realized once again how bad the situation here was.
Joo Sang-wook said while looking at the citizens dismembering the monster corpse with their hands dripping with scum.
“It’s like looking at Korea right after First Gate.”
It was only after the situation was resolved that police forces arrived at the scene.
Weeeeeee!
Armed police officers got out of a police vehicle that arrived with a loud siren blaring.
Yellow Ranger looked at them and said sarcastically.
“Haha, it’s coming quickly.”
The police officers seemed relaxed, as if they knew the situation was already over.
Actually, they didn’t come to fight monsters.
“Everyone, drop what you’re holding and get out! “Monster corpses are state property!”
Bang bang bang!
When the police fired threatening shots, citizens were frightened and ran away. Some courageous people ran away carrying the carcasses of wild dogs.
“What is that…!”
Joo Sang-wook walked towards the police officer with a stern expression. A police official was talking to Red.
Inspector Soma said with a disapproving expression.
“Red Ranger. What if we let civilians take the monster’s corpse? Not once or twice…”
“Haha. “This happened without us having a chance to stop it… Fortunately, there were no civilian casualties!”
Red’s confident pose and voice changed the topic. However, Inspector Soma laughed out loud.
“Yeah yeah. “I guess so.”
“Excuse me for a moment.”
When Joo Sang-wook joined the conversation, Inspector Soma looked at him with an expression of ‘What is this?’
Red quickly explained.
“Ah, these people are from Korea. He said he came to meet the Prime Minister….”
“This is Joo Sang-wook. Korea Disaster Management Headquarters Superhuman Cooperation Team Leader…”
Inspector Soma cut Joo Sang-wook off mid-sentence.
“korea? Aren’t you from Koreatown? “You came across the sea?”
“……”
Inspector Soma looked at Joo Sang-wook and the person behind him, Lily Shin, with a suspicious expression.
The inspector’s eyes stayed on Shin for a moment longer.
‘That guy. I feel like I’ve seen this face before…’
When our eyes met, Shin quietly averted his gaze. The inspector narrowed his eyebrows and turned his head to look at Red again.
He treated Joo Sang-wook, who was right in front of him, as if he didn’t exist.
“Are you saying you were planning to take people whose identities you were not sure about to the Prime Minister?”
“yes? But you came from Korea…”
The police officer looked at the Shinjuku Rangers with a pitiful expression.
‘Those guys who act like clowns with superpowers. If it weren’t for the Awakening, do you think you guys would have been able to talk to me?’
Inspector Soma has always had an unfavorable opinion of the Shinjuku Ranger. That wasn’t just Inspector Soma’s idea.
‘They think they have achieved something with the skills to barely deal with low-level monsters.’
‘Once you awaken your abilities, you will enter the tribe. ‘Why are you staying here because you have something to see?’
‘What kind of tribe would accept otakus who don’t have that kind of skill?’
‘Well, I’m so embarrassed that I won’t accept it.’
Hearing the police whispering in the background, Daein could see how the Shinjuku Rangers were treated by the government.
‘You’re such a bastard.’
It was true.
Shinjuku Rangers were not that much better than soldiers with firearms.
…To be honest, for a superhuman, he was too weak.
Just the three of us were struggling against low-level monsters.
“There are degrees of being thoughtless. “What if these people are terrorists?”
Because of this, Inspector Soma openly disparaged them.
Red said in a confused voice.
“Don’t you think that’s a bit excessive…”
“Have you investigated that vehicle?”
“…no.”
Red lowered his head, looking very scared, like a child being scolded by a teacher. Blue trembled in anger next to him.
“Hey Inspector Soma!”
Yellow stepped forward and got angry. She said, pointing her finger at Inspector Soma.
“Is that what you want to say to us who risked our lives fighting monsters?”
“Isn’t risking your life and fighting monsters what you do? “Are you by any chance a circus troupe?”
“What?”
The police officers behind him chuckled at Inspector Soma’s sarcasm.
Yellow finally found something to refute.
“Why did you come out so late? We fought here for 30 minutes! “If someone got hurt or died in the meantime…”
Inspector Soma sighed heavily.
“It was reported that the monster that appeared at the gate was a pack of spotted wild dogs. “I heard that the Shinjuku Ranger was nearby, so I thought they would take care of it quickly.”
Then Inspector Soma shrugged his shoulders and looked around.
“The other warriors are the ones who catch them on their own, but I didn’t know there were three of them waiting for us. “Isn’t everyone like that?”
The opponent is a veteran police officer with decades of experience.
Young superhumans who had just awakened were not opponents they could defeat in a verbal argument.
Inspector Soma chuckled and muttered to himself.
“Even the sky is indifferent. If you have any extra powers, give them to me. “Then it would have been much more useful than anyone else.”
“…….”
There was a clear sense of mockery in those words, but the Shinjuku Ranger couldn’t even come up with a plausible retort.
The three people in the helmet were all young people.
Red and Blue were 20 years old and Yellow was now 19 years old.
They formed the Shinjuku Rangers with the intention of protecting the people living in Shinjuku and making them smile,
but despite their efforts,
the reality was not so easy.
“mister.”
Lily, who was quietly watching the scene from behind, pulled Daein’s arm.
“why?”
“That police officer is a bad person. “Let’s punish him.”
The great man shook his head as if he was annoyed.
“How can you scold every bad guy you meet? bothered.”
Then Lily looked up at him and pouted her lips.
“Then you’re going to punish me by yourself later, right? “You know everything?”
“…….”
The great man was too lazy to answer in detail. He said, pressing Lily’s head into his palm.
“There is no need for me to step forward here. I brought in a separate person to be in charge of civil servants. excuse me.”
A just civil servant from Korea loaded his eyes with double wicks.
Joo Sang-wook spoke to Inspector Soma in a clear voice.
“I was standing here earlier. Can’t you see me?”
Inspector Soma glanced at Joo Sang-wook, smiled, and spoke to Red. It was complete disregard.
“You guys go and do the patrol or the circus. “We will take these people in and investigate.”
Inspector Soma gave instructions to the police officers in the back.
“Search the vehicle and handcuff everyone. If you resist, even if I get a little rough with it… stop, you bastard!”
The moment he saw Joo Sang-wook put his hand into the inside pocket of his suit, Sergeant Soma pulled out his pistol and shouted.
It was determined that the other person was trying to pull out a gun.
“Turn back slowly!”
“…….”
Joo Sang-wook did as he was told. Joo Sang-wook and Dae-in turned around and their eyes met.
“I heard you’re being secretly mischievous.”
Daein grinned and Joo Sang-wook also grinned.
Inspector Soma said while pointing his gun at Joo Sang-wook’s back.
“Take your hands out of your pockets slowly. “I know that if you do something foolish, you’ll get a hole in your head.”
“That won’t happen.”
Joo Sang-wook slowly removed his hand from the inside pocket of his suit.
Inspector Soma approached him, roughly broke his arms, handcuffed him, and searched the inside pockets of his suit.
“I don’t know what you’re doing, but I think you met the right person today…”
What came out of the pocket was not a gun, but an elaborate magic stone seal.
“As long as I have that seal.”
Inspector Soma’s eyes widened in astonishment as he looked at the magic stone seal.
“This can’t be right….”
The seal was in the shape of a snake with eight heads and eight tails.
Yamata no Orochi.
A symbol of the giant tribe Orochi that rules western Tokyo.
It was a seal carved from a high-grade magic stone.
The magical power and brilliant colors emitted by the magic gem proved to themselves that it was not a cheap imitation.
Inspector Soma muttered with a pale complexion.
“Why is Orochi’s seal…?”
At that time, a man came over and cut off Joo Sang-wook’s handcuffs.
Ttuduk!
The startled police officers pointed their guns at the two men.
“why? Shoot?”
The great man smiled and stepped forward.
If this was a movie with two cops as the main characters, the role of the bad cop would be his.
‘Because it’s cooler.’
The great man spread his arms and stepped forward.
“If you want to shoot, shoot. “But only those who are confident enough to handle what will happen in the future.”
gulp.
The police only swallowed their saliva and did not dare to pull the trigger. He noticed that things were going strangely.
“Why in Orochi…? “Do you belong there?”
Unlike the first time, Joo Sang-wook handed the letter of introduction he received from Orochi to Inspector Soma, who asked cautiously.
“I’ll greet you again. My name is Joo Sang-wook, head of the Superhuman Cooperation Team at the Korea Disaster Management Headquarters. “I am entrusted to President Kim Soo-ho with full authority over the superhuman alliance negotiations between Korea and Japan and formally request a visit from the Japanese government.”
“yes…?”
Inspector Soma opened his mouth blankly at Joo Sang-wook’s words, which were far beyond his abilities.
Joo Sang-wook continued.
“And what I just gave you is the seal and letter of introduction given by Tamashi, the acting lord of Tribe Orochi. I was able to meet him on the way and have a meaningful conversation with him. “He wrote me a seal and a letter of introduction as a token of friendship.”
“omg…!”
At that moment, Inspector Soma’s complexion suddenly changed.
The four major tribes that dominate the north, south, east and west of Tokyo.
He knew very well that if they wanted to, they could kill a police inspector like a fly.
Other police officers and Shinjuku Rangers were equally surprised. The only ones who weren’t surprised were Daein and his group.
“If you think my identity and the stamps and documents are fake, please arrest us here. “If you contact Orochi, they will confirm.”
Next to me, Daein tilted his head and said.
“What was that friend’s name? He has a very impatient personality, so when he gets angry, he starts swinging his sword…”
“Are you talking about Nagatomo-san?”
“right. Nagatomo. He’ll have to be patient this time…”
“I’m worried. “If they find out we’ve been arrested, they might come and attack us.”
“That friend isn’t usually good at using knives. “I saw you kill a monster the other day, and my blood was dripping…!”
Inspector Soma’s expression gradually became as pale as a corpse as the two people boasted of fantastic chemistry.
“That… I’m sorry!”
Finally, surrender was declared.
Joo Sang-wook said with a soft smile on his lips.
“I guess you’ve finally decided to talk to me face to face.”
“I’m really sorry. “We don’t know these precious people…”
“No. “I think it’s a quite possible misunderstanding.”
Joo Sang-wook shook his head and said it was okay.
But even though his mouth was smiling, his eyes were sharp like a hawk stalking its prey.
“If it is okay with you, may I ask the inspector to guide you to the provincial office? “I’d like to chat for a moment in the car.”
“…Oh yeah. of course.”
Sigh.
The smile on Joo Sang-wook’s mouth became even deeper.
“Thank you. I have a feeling that the journey to the provincial office will be a very enjoyable and useful time.”
“Oh yeah…”
Daein nodded slightly as he looked at Joo Sang-wook getting into Inspector Soma’s car.
“It was a good thing I brought you here.”
Now, I was planning to leave the complicated and cumbersome political and diplomatic issues to the experts and do a few errands separately.
For example,
“Rangers.”
The great man looked back at the Shinjuku Ranger who was standing there not knowing what to do and said.
“How about a meal later after work?”
Developing friendships with local talents who will be recruited to the White House Japan branch, etc.
