Chương 515: -509- The highest officials
Tokyo, Akihabara.
Located in the southwestern part of Taito ward, Tokyo, Akihabara is a district bordered by Showa Street to the east, Zaimokucho Avenue to the north, and adjacent to Chiyoda ward's Kanda Neribei-cho and Kanda Mutsunaga-cho to the south. It's a bustling electronics hub synchronized with cutting-edge technology.
Akihabara houses over a thousand stores, and after World War II, it became a black market for selling rare, high-quality electronic products. From the 1950s to the 1980s, the stores here initially supplied a large number of televisions and refrigerators, followed by VCRs and game consoles.
Today, electronic stores, figure toy shops, anime product stores, and themed cafes coexist here. New office and retail complex buildings have also gradually sprung up, aiming to create more commercial profits.
And the main building of the Onmyou Agency is located near Akihabara.
It's a somewhat vintage-looking office building.
This is the headquarters of the Onmyou Agency, the main office location for professional Onmyoji. It houses the office of the head, meeting rooms, and the headquarters of the Division for Jujutsu Crime Investigations. Departments such as the Development and Research Department also work here.
Surprisingly, the Exorcism Department is not within the Onmyou Agency but located a distance away. Of course, that's also a main facility, with branches spread throughout Tokyo to ensure they can be mobilized at any time to deal with sudden spiritual disasters.
Rozen, who was in the car with the mystical investigators, was brought here.
Furthermore, he wasn't allowed to have accompanying personnel.
In other words, only Rozen came this time.
As for Dairenji Suzuka, she rode a different car than Rozen's and had already been sent to the Onmyou Agency a step ahead. What kind of punishment she would receive was currently under discussion.
Under these circumstances, Rozen entered the Onmyou Agency and, led by the mystical investigators, headed to the office of the head.
"The head's office?"
When Rozen heard the place he was being taken to, his eyebrows raised, but he didn't say anything more.
Not long after, the office appeared before Rozen.
The mystical investigators approached and knocked on the door.
"Tsuchimikado Akikan has been brought."
The serious voice came from the mystical investigator.
Soon after...
"Let him in."
A somewhat familiar voice responded from inside.
The voice was calm and steady, awakening Rozen's memories after many years.
The mystical investigator opened the door and let Rozen in.
What appeared before Rozen was a very simple office.
There were only a desk, a sofa, a table, and a bookshelf here.
And in the room, there were three people.
"You've arrived?"
Standing in front of the window, dressed in dignified attire and with a sturdy build, a man turned around to look at Rozen. It was Kurahashi Genji, exuding a composed and icy demeanor, awakening memories in Rozen from years ago.
However, Rozen's attention was drawn to the other two people.
"Ho, so you're Tsuchimikado Akikan?"
This was a casually sitting old man on the sofa who spoke in a frivolous tone.
"I can indeed feel the spiritual power not ordinary academy students possess."
This was a middle-aged uncle leaning against the wall, speaking lazily.
The old man was roughly the same age as Kurahashi Miyo, thin like a crane, but exuded a kind of agile and spirited demeanor. He carried an air of dignity and seemed somewhat proud and arrogant in his demeanor. He wore an Armani three-piece suit without a tie, looking intently at Rozen, unmistakably a mischievous old man, and a high-ranking one at that.
The uncle had a bitter melon face, full of beard on his face, and messy, long hair that covered his ears and eyes, allowing people to only see the lower half of his face. Although he was wearing a suit, he gave off a somewhat decadent air, making his image extremely sloppy.
At first glance, he looked like an average middle-aged man you would come across anywhere.
He was currently leaning against the wall, arms crossed, looking at Rozen, seemingly uninterested, unlike the former, who appeared intrigued, he seemed rather indifferent.
Seeing these two people, Rozen's eyes narrowed slightly.
Of course, Rozen recognized the two people in front of him.
Because they were among the top figures in the Onmyou Agency, the highest echelons.
The old man was the head of the Division for Jujutsu Crime Investigations, the current oldest National Grade Onmyoji, one of the Twelve Divine Generals, known as the "Divine Fan."
In the field of anti-personal jujutsu, he was the strongest in the industry. He was the highest authority in charge of Jujutsu crimes, the second most important person in the Onmyou Agency, just below the head, Kurahashi Genji. In terms of experience and knowledge, he even surpassed Kurahashi Genji.
The middle age uncle is the chief of the Exorcism Division and the commanding officer of the purification office, an immensely skilled independent exorcist. He too was a National Grade Onmyoji and one of the Twelve Divine Generals, known as the "Fire Demon" due to his full beard, often playfully referred to as the "Judge of the Underworld" by the younger exorcists.
He was the second-in-command of the Exorcism Division, effectively the true highest authority within the division since Kurahashi Genji, the official chief of the division, often dealt with political matters concerning the Onmyo Agency, making this uncle the one with all the decision-making power within the Exorcism Division. His status was equally lofty.
The old man was named Amami Daizen.
The uncle's name was Miyachi Iwao.
Coupled with Kurahashi Genji, the head of the Onmyou Agency and the chief of the Exorcism Division, known as the "Heaven's Bearer" and the foremost of the Twelve Divine Generals, these three individuals were the highest-ranking figures within the Onmyou Agency.
In the director's office, these three people were waiting for Rozen as if prepared for a battle.
These three men were the leaders of the jujutsu world and were all Onmyoji at the level of the Twelve Divine Generals. Whether in terms of position or power, they stood at the pinnacle, far beyond what researchers like Dairenji Suzuka could compare to.
Rozen could feel that due to the presence of these three individuals, the spiritual energy in the director's office felt both heavy and intimidating.
And this was only natural.
Kurahashi Genji, as the leader of the Twelve Divine Generals and hailed as the best Onmyoji of the modern era, the extent of his strength could be imagined.
Amami Daizen was the head of the Jujutsu Crime Investigations Division, dealing with curse crimes and demonstrating unparalleled strength in the field of anti-personal curses.
If it were just these two, considering Rozen's current strength when going all out, victory wasn't impossible.
However, the spiritual energy emanating from Miyachi Iwao, who was leaning against the wall, seemingly indifferent to affairs, made Rozen's instincts scream warnings.
Although he might have already concealed it well, the faintly emanating spiritual energy from him was like an abyss, deep and terrifying, causing Rozen's nerves to unconsciously tense.
So, Rozen almost instantly made a judgment.
This person is very dangerous.
Extremely dangerous.
Once at odds with him, perhaps he'd have to go all out.
This was the feeling Miyachi Iwao gave Rozen.
