World Record - Chapter 110. The Melancholy of the Minister

110. The Melancholy of the Minister

Haaaaaa

A long sigh leaked out.
The place is at a room in the top floor of the Special Forces headquarters in Sapporo.
Also known as the office of the Minister of Defense.
A womanKanekura Tsukie who leaned her back on the chair, recalled that days incident and sunk in the feelings of guilt and despair.

Whydid I say such thing?

Saying that, she recalls her sons appearance.
Even when looking on from the side, she loved Iwato to the extent that she can be called as a doting parent.
However, the affection surpa.s.sed the so called degree a little, and because she has gone through the past of having her parents devoured by the Unknowns, her teaching became Unknowns are enemies.
Well, that teaching is most likely correct.
However, the Unknown species called Shutendouji was miraculously and coincidentally not hostile to humans, and that irregular met Iwato by chance and made him realized his sins.
Therefore, theres no one wrong here, but if one were to pick one.
Perhapsfate. The blame is on the very thing.
Theres no other words to express the current situation, and in somewhere deep in her heart, she realized it.

Haa, someone, it would be better if theres a bad guy

If theres a definite evil, thats much better.
Groaning that, she fell to the table.
She knew it once she calmed down.
That being protected by the King of Black Coffin, means that the UnknownOnikko can be trusted. Theres no hostile intention at all, and the Unknown just wants to unite with the humans.
She knew that immediately after she calmed down.
However, when she closes her eyes, that scene emerges.

Thats the blazing town.
Its clearly burned into her memory.
Houses collapsing, and the crimson flame illuminating the dark night.
Andthe red blood.
In front of her is a large existence showing a ferocious and ghastly smileand in both of his hands are her parents head.

Gu

She cant forget that theres such Unknown.
She wants to believe in the person Iwato believes in. Along with such feelings, she cant help to to feel uneasy when thinking that the Unknown may become such kind of Unknown.
And above allas the Minister of Defense, her own decision was correct.
After thinking that much, she suddenly thought.

What did I actually wanted to do?
What do I want to do now?
What should I do from now on?

While thinking that, the sound of the door knock is heard.
Judging from this knockits probably that 65-year-old secretary.

(Its time to look for a new secretary, I guess)

While muttering that in her heart, she calls him in.
The old secretary who opens the door in hurry, opens his mouth while sweating.

T-Tsukie-samaYoung Master called that he caught a ruffian
Do you need to come to me for this kind of matter?

I replied so while smiling wryly as I was just thinking about Young Master aka Iwato. Then, the old secretary opens his mouth while wiping his sweats with a handkerchief.

T-Thats, early in the morning, there is a call at around 2~3a.m. saying that I was a.s.saulted by a ruffian so please do something with him. Young Master repelled the enemy perfectly, butthe man is actually a member of a crime syndicate
Crime syndicate?

Tsukie who recited the words, places her hand on her chin as if recalling something.
I wonder which crime syndicate is it. This person brought this matter to me, so it must be a crime syndicate with big scale, butI cant think of a crime syndicate which will pick a fight with Iwato in this country
After thinking that muchsuddenly, a certain name came into mind.
When I opened my eyes wide and looked at him, he says the name properly while wiping his sweats.

Six Demon Spears

Upon hearing that, Tsukie stood up.
Six Demon Spears.
She clenched her fists upon hearing that, and opens her mouth.

S-Six Demon Spears is
Yes, the mercenary hired by the leaders and organization. The extrlarge crime syndicate that composed of 6 people. Ma.s.s killing in United Kingdom, extrlarge terrorism in America, circulation of drugs in South Africa, and many more. The world-leading crime syndicateThe leader, Digital Ruler is a genuine monster who holds the record of escaping from the Absolute (World Recorder), Esashi Sana

Digital Ruler.
Specialized in manipulating machines, the absolute skills as the most remarkable hacker in the world, and the superpower that can manipulate any kind of machines easily.
A normal A rank can never stand a chance against that person. The Battle Rank, if one were to estimate it, is not less than 150. Both in name and reality, the highest grade criminal in the world.

P-Perhaps, Iwato defeated
Unfortunately, it was not the Digital Ruler. Its the Number Four of the Six Demon Spears, Fire Emperor Grazi Blacklist. Estimated Battle Rank is 75To be honest, the A rank Number One may be able to defeat him

Tsukie who breathed out greatly upon hearing that, felt relief and disappointment as she sat back on her chair.
At any rate, its a great achievement.
The wanted criminal who ma.s.sacred the Special Forces in United Kingdom. In addition, its said that hes also involved in other crimes, so theres a bounty of a few hundreds million on him.
She felt relief by the fact that one of them was caught, but she suddenly gasped upon being indicated that Grazi was caught.

W-Wait a minute W-Why is Grazi Blacklist making a move on Iwato?

By those words, the old secretary casts his eyes down.

Regarding the agendaWhy the Shutendoujis daughter is in the wall?
D-Dont tell me

Reaching such possibility, Tsukie clenches her teeth.
Clenching her fists stronglyand slams the desk.

If its the Digital Ruler, its possible to s.n.a.t.c.h the Shutendoujis daughter away, right?

The old secretary nods.
If its the Digital Ruler, its possible to s.n.a.t.c.h the Shutendoujis daughter away when theres an opening. And if the daughter is taken as a hostageeven that Shutendouji cant do much.

Is thathow it is?

If, if the aim of the Six Demon Spears is not Iwato, but the target being protected by Iwato.
And if they know about the house is buffed with the maximum power of existence just like the Absolute Defense Wallthey would, first, come to kill Iwato.
Foolish, impossible they can win.
I know that. But.

Not everything is absolute

Nagumo Iwato is indeed the strongest.
Thats only the current situation.
If time pa.s.ses, someone stronger would appear for sure.
If everything is prepared with multiple trapsone day, it would be the same as how the Shutendouji was.
Tsukie who imagined such thing, stands up and gives order to the secretary.

This is a state of emergency. Search all over Sapporo right away. Grazi Blacklist was here, which means

Saying that, she suddenly looks at the surveillance camera at the corner of the room.
Tsukie said this while thinking of the person.

The Six Demon Spears lead by the Digital Ruler, are in Sapporo

Along with the separation with Iwato, the most prominent crime syndicate appeared.
She cant wipe off the melancholy of the Minister of Defense, no matter what.
