Only I Have Two Towers Episode 154
Night Visitor
Near the Osaka Sugihara Residence.
Innovation Party member Sato Tsubasa took a deep breath.
There had been a modifier that followed her since childhood.
Prodigy or genius.
During elementary, middle, and high school, she was always first in her class.
Even at the top university, even after entering law school, valedictorian was always hers.
Even after graduation, she had continued to succeed without failure.
That’s how she was able to reach this position.
Therefore, having always succeeded and won, it felt strange.
This version of herself that was so conflicted about doing something.
‘How relaxed. Annoyingly so.’
She looked at Jinhyeok standing beside her.
Looking completely at ease like someone watching a fire across the river.
I wonder if he knows.
That someone is agonizing to the point of a splitting headache because of the proposal he made.
-Please find Sugihara Shoji. It doesn’t need to be specific. It’s enough if you can pinpoint the direction.
As expected, Jinhyeok hadn’t come here to suggest a stroll.
He intended to go in.
Into the Sugihara residence with hundreds of security personnel and state-of-the-art security facilities.
Tsubasa moistened her parched lips.
What they were about to do was on a different scale.
She needed to ask what needed to be asked.
“Yoo Jin-hyeok.”
“Yes?”
“If my memory isn’t wrong, didn’t you say you had no intention of killing him? Sugihara Shoji.”
“That’s right. I don’t just go around killing people.”
“Then why do you want to go in?”
“I want to have a little chat.”
Jinhyeok answered nonchalantly with a grin.
She was speechless.
She would have gotten angry and told him to stop talking nonsense.
If only the other party wasn’t a Runner. If only the other party wasn’t 100% serious.
“If I find Sugihara Shoji? What happens next? Just because we find his location doesn’t mean the security forces go home, and it doesn’t mean the security equipment gets turned off. How do you plan to break through that fortress?”
Human eyes and ears can be deceived.
But machines cannot.
The moment an uninvited person’s foot touches the ground, sirens will sound.
Jinhyeok pointed in one direction with his chin.
Tsubasa turned her gaze in that direction.
It was the main gate of the Sugihara residence.
“I’m going to walk in through there. And I’ll come back out through there too. You’ll think it doesn’t make sense, but just hold that thought for now. Since you have a good nose, you’ll soon realize. That it’s not bluffing.”
Tsubasa let out a small sigh and ran her hand through her hair.
She decided not to ask any more questions of this type.
Their ranges of common sense were too different.
“What do I get?”
“Sugihara’s downfall. That’s a very, very big boon for you, isn’t it, Tsubasa?”
It was truly strange.
Objectively, it was complete nonsense.
But somehow it felt like it would really happen.
And if it really did happen?
The Kamin Party, which had held the ruling party position for many years, would shake.
No, it would collapse.
Already staggering from losing Hosaka.
Sugihara’s downfall would surely be a fatal blow.
“No one will die. At least not today.”
Tsubasa, who had been watching Jinhyeok for a while, sighed once more.
She hated gambling.
But how could she not place a bet?
When someone was offering to give her a straight flush beyond four of a kind.
“…Okay.”
She opened her inventory and took out an old parchment.
It was a spell scroll that maximized abilities by pouring all resources into one shot.
‘I didn’t want to use this again.’
Tsubasa clicked her tongue and tore the scroll without hesitation.
She had deliberated enough.
Her eyes turned purple.
After a moment, it began to appear in her vision.
The threads of lingering traces that filled the surroundings.
Ugh.
All sorts of things poured in, nearly driving her insane.
She steadied her breathing to keep from losing her mind.
And she closed her eyes.
She began searching for Sugihara Shoji’s lingering trace that she had detected a couple of months ago.
‘Oh. Cool.’
The purple light flowing from Tsubasa’s eyes.
It was even more fascinating because it was a rarely seen ability.
Of course, he didn’t clap like a seal for fear of disrupting her concentration.
How much time had passed like that?
Tsubasa, who had been sorting through overlapping threads for a while, opened her eyes.
“I found him. Go straight 500 meters from the main gate, then 200 meters to the right and there will be an annex. Thirty personnel guarding the entrance. They’re clustered there unusually, so you’ll recognize it immediately. However, there’s a problem.”
“A problem?”
“Chairman Sugihara Shoji isn’t alone. I don’t know why they’re together at this hour, but the Prime Minister’s secretaries are with him. They’re all climbers above the 70th floor. Yoo Jin-hyeok. Today isn’t the right…?”
A question mark appeared on Tsubasa’s face.
Today isn’t the right day. So let’s retreat and come back later. She was about to say that.
If only Yoo Jin-hyeok hadn’t suddenly disappeared.
“!!!”
Tsubasa turned her head at the suddenly shifted lingering trace.
It was the main gate of the Sugihara residence.
The residence’s main gate.
Clank. Clank.
At the sound of metal friction, the security guards watching the gate looked up.
Under a streetlight a little distance away.
Someone was approaching.
“Control room, can you hear me? Unidentified personnel approaching from the front. Please confirm if there are more guests expected today.”
# Everyone has arrived. No more personnel expected.
“Understood.”
The confirmed personnel stepped forward.
“Please stop. This is private property…!?”
He tried to politely block the way.
It’s a noisy world with NewTube and SNS and all.
But they had no choice but to arm themselves immediately.
An unidentified man wearing a mask and holding a massive greatsword in one hand.
The current scraping sound was created by the greatsword dragging against the cement.
“He’s armed. We’ll subdue him.”
# There are guests present, so handle this quietly.
“Understood.”
The security personnel stepped forward, each carrying their equipment.
The approaching man stopped walking.
And raised his greatsword.
“Here he comes.”
The security team took defensive positions.
However, contrary to expectations, the greatsword wasn’t swung.
The man simply, very gently, lowered the greatsword he had raised.
[Explosion Enchant]
Kwaaaaaaaang!!!
A massive explosion and towering flames erupted with such tremendous noise that it made the Control Room’s request to handle things quietly seem meaningless.
왜에에에에에엥—-!!
Sirens wailed as the main house went into emergency mode.
Personnel began pouring out of the building.
[Stealth][Covert Movement]
He put away Salamanca and disappeared from sight.
Then leisurely walked toward the Main Gate.
Weaving around to avoid bumping into the rushing personnel.
“Find him! It’s just one person!”
“Don’t let your guard down and maintain your positions! This might be a diversionary tactic!”
“Only off-duty teams move to search for the intruder! Everyone else holds their positions!”
‘As expected of personnel hired with expensive money.’
Even with the sudden attack, the security didn’t panic.
Personnel dividing into teams and following established protocols.
But it didn’t matter.
He had achieved what he wanted.
“Captain. Now’s the time. You can go.”
Kancheo, perched on his shoulder, whispered in a very small voice.
The detection sensors spread throughout weren’t turned off.
However, with countless security personnel mixed together and running around.
The sensors could only detect movement, not distinguish between foe and ally.
To the sensors, Jinhyeok was practically invisible.
“Kancheo, you’re counting 500 meters, right?”
“Of course. Distance measurement is basic for Yodel Rangers.”
As expected of a Yodel Ranger. Very reliable.
“Now.”
He turned right.
“It’s the Rear Entrance! Two men are down!”
“Someone’s down in the Garden too! It’s not just one person!”
“Damn it! There’s at least three of them! Split personnel between the Rear Entrance, Main Gate, and Garden!”
The aftermath of the explosion Jinhyeok caused had mostly subsided.
But the chaos inside the building was spreading more and more.
Seira and Dark were probably beating up security while wearing identical masks.
I told them not to kill anyone, so they won’t kill them, right?
‘Hmm.’
He felt a bit doubtful belatedly.
Had Dark ever spared anyone’s life?
“Here it is.”
Let me focus on my task for now.
“Two on each side of the door, two more 30 meters inside.”
Kancheo looked at Jinhyeok with an impressed expression.
Though it was just a split second difference, he had detected the foe faster than himself.
As expected, only Jinhyeok.
The only person who could serve as Captain of the Yodel Rangers.
“Kancheo. Cancel manifestation.”
“Understood.”
He stopped in front of the door and loosened up his body.
Then took out the wooden sword he had prepared in advance.
Kwang!
He kicked down the door.
Attacks came flying from both sides.
One with knuckles, one with a spear.
He leisurely leaned back to dodge them.
Two types of weapons crossing before his eyes.
He quickly thrust the wooden sword he was holding left and right.
“Kugh!”
Two impact sounds and personnel being slammed into the walls.
He turned his head to stare straight ahead.
There he is.
Sugihara Shoji.
“Who are you?”
Those beside Shoji got to their feet.
“Don’t kill him. I’d like to see his face.”
“Understood. Please wait just a moment.”
Shoji watched the two people advancing.
Sumida, who had awakened the Barbarian Warrior class, and Utsu, a wind-type buffer.
They were partners who always stuck together and were famous for their skills even among the secretarial staff.
A bitter smile formed on Shoji’s lips.
Who could possibly overcome this?
Dump truck-level destructive power backed by speed enhancement buffs.
“Sumida senior. I’ll support you.”
“We’re in front of the Chairman. Go full speed from the start.”
“Understood.”
Utsu stepped back and placed his hand on Sumida’s back.
Mana flowed from Utsu’s body and began converting into buffs.
Having finished preparations, Utsu opened his mouth.
“I’ll cast the buff…”
Shwaaaack!
A question mark appeared on Utsu’s face.
A single black line drawn long across the space.
The end of the line was touching precisely at Sumida’s chest.
Stumble!
Sumida’s mountain-like legs gave out.
Thud!
A thunderous roar echoed throughout the room.
Utsu’s eyes widened.
He couldn’t believe it.
Even before the buff was applied, it was a speed that Sumida couldn’t even react to.
Just how fast could he be…. Thwack!
Utsu couldn’t continue his thoughts either.
Unable to withstand the wooden sword that struck his solar plexus, Utsu was sent flying.
For a brief moment, Shoji’s pupils wavered.
Whether he did or not.
Step.
The night visitor approached leisurely and bent down.
And.
While making eye contact with Shoji.
“Hello there, Chairman Sugihara Shoji.”
He offered a greeting with complete nonchalance.
