Skill Devouring to the 666th Floor Episode 099
99. Tokyo Governor
“Everyone! What is this? He’s flying through the sky!”
Kiiko captured her lifesaver spreading Angel Wings and flying away on her mobile phone screen.
The reaction from viewers watching the live stream was explosive.
└Is this real? He actually spread wings and flew away?
└It’s an angel! An angel has appeared!
└News Maru-chan, this isn’t CG, right?
└It’s live, what are you talking about CG for?
└I knew it from when he tore the iron bars – he was definitely an Apostle.
└Looks like it’s a skill that creates wings.
└I’m jealous. I want to fly in the sky too.
Kiiko also looked up at the sky enviously.
Though he had now flown so far away that he became just a dot.
└But who was the person who went with him?
└He was carrying him like luggage… an assistant maybe?
└What’s that person’s identity?
└Can’t you tell just by looking? It’s the Night Hunter.
└He didn’t look Japanese though?
└I looked it up, and the clothes he was wearing were from a Korean brand.
└So he’s Korean then?
└No wonder, his accent was a bit different.
To think her lifesaver was Korean.
What a surprising fact.
“Wait, then that means he’s not the Night Hunter?”
└That’s right? The Night Hunter can’t be Korean.
└He could be a Korean residing in Japan.
└Ah, is that so?
“It would have been nice to interview him… It’s a shame he left so quickly.”
Amid various speculations.
“Ahem, sorry for interrupting during the broadcast…”
Hiromune spoke to Kiiko.
“I think I need to correct something that’s wrong.”
“Yes? What?”
“That person earlier is not the Night Hunter.”
“He’s not? Then…?”
“I am the Night Hunter.”
Hiromune coming out in front of thousands of viewers.
Kiiko couldn’t help but be stunned.
She had already created content about the Night Hunter, but she never expected to actually meet him.
“Ah… so you’re the Night Hunter. Nice to meet you. Thank you for protecting the streets.”
“Ah… yes.”
When she bowed and even offered a handshake, Hiromune awkwardly clasped her hand.
“Night Hunter? Would it be okay to do a brief interview? The viewers are curious.”
“Yes? Well… sure.”
An opportunity for an exclusive interview with the Night Hunter.
There was no way Kiiko would miss that opportunity.
“Well then, let me ask you a question. What motivated you to start doing this work, Night Hunter?”
“Um… I’ve loved hero movies since I was young. It’s hard for me to just watch people doing bad things.”
“Ah, I see! I love hero movies too! Then the second question, do you like your current nickname?”
“The nickname… honestly, I do like it.”
“Everyone! This is good news! He likes his nickname! Then the third…”
Questions continued on the spot and Hiromune found himself unintentionally held up.
Of course, since it was an interview done while making time before the Emergency Medical Team arrived, there was no problem.
“Let me ask the last question. This is the most curious question – who exactly was that person flying through the sky earlier? What’s your relationship with him?”
“Ah… I don’t know much about that person either. We only met recently…”
“Oh, really? You don’t even know his name?”
“No. I only know that he’s an incredibly strong Apostle.”
Disappointment crossed Kiiko’s face.
Actually, the ultimate purpose of the interview was information about her lifesaver.
She wanted to know about him, but Hiromune didn’t know either.
The viewers must be most curious about that part too.
‘What should I do? This is going to be a flop…’
To check if the viewers felt the same way, she looked at their reactions.
└Ah… that’s disappointing. I wanted to know more about that person.
└Right. He seemed like an angel.
└Just from his actions, isn’t he really an angel?
└Right. He just rescued the kidnapped people and left.
└He doesn’t even know his name?
└The Night Hunter said he saw him for the first time today too.
└Aah…
└I thought the two of them knew each other…
└Disappointing.
The majority felt the same way.
That’s when it happened.
└The person who saved us earlier looks like Amon?
└Amon? What are you suddenly talking about?
└Who? That Amon we know?
└I have proof. Go to Amon’s channel and check the 40th Floor video that was uploaded.
└The 40th Floor is up?
└Ah… I just came back from watching it and it’s really him
└Huh…? Really?
└News Maru! Please check quickly!
Suddenly the name Amon popped up.
Kiiko wasn’t unfamiliar with that name either.
However.
‘The person who spread wings was Amon?’
It was just hard to believe.
“Wait a moment, let me check the video too.”
After asking the viewers for understanding, she briefly operated her mobile phone.
When she went to Amon’s channel, there was a 40th Floor Labyrinth strategy guide updated today.
The view count was explosive, matching how he had surpassed her subscriber count in just a week.
‘What on earth is causing this?’
When she clicked to check, what do you know.
She saw a scene of someone flying with wings spread.
‘This is completely… identical?’
Although it was a first-person view so the overall appearance of the wings wasn’t visible, it was almost similar.
Completely the same person.
‘I understand why people said it was Amon.’
While she was at it, she also checked the video’s comments.
└この、ニュースマルをけたじゃない？(Isn’t this person the one who saved News Maru?)
└そうだね。をげるスキルをたらじだ。(That’s right. Looking at the Wing Spreading Skill, it’s the same.)
└じゃあ、アモンがニュースマルをったの？(Then, did Amon save News Maru?)
└わ、すごいね！(Wow, amazing!)
└かとったら、アモンだったんだ！！(I wondered who it was, but it was Amon!!)
└What are these guys saying right now?
└They suddenly swarmed in and are leaving comments.
└Did the Japanese get coordinates?
└News Maru? Who’s that?
Since it was before the news broke, most people didn’t know about the incident.
But it wouldn’t be long before Korea would know too.
After all, the Tokyo Governor’s son was involved.
Kiiko came to her senses and returned to the live stream.
“I listened to what you all said and watched the video… it’s certain, isn’t it?”
└Right? It’s Amon, right?
“The wing feathers are similar. It’s completely the same skill. I think it’s Amon.”
└Wow, the person who saved the kidnapped people was Amon.
└That’s why he tore through the iron bars like paper.
└Our life savior was Amon.
└So that’s why his Japanese was awkward.
└The theory that Amon is Korean seems to be true.
└So he came all the way to a neighboring country to save foreign citizens and left?
└Amazing!!
└Amon saved the Tokyo Governor’s son too.
└On behalf of Japan, thank you, Amon.
Kiiko, who saw the comments, glanced to the side.
The Tokyo Governor’s son was talking to Hiromune.
“Sorry, but could I borrow your phone?”
“Ah, yes.”
He makes a call with his mobile phone.
Where could he be calling?
Could it be the Governor?
Even though it was past midnight, Kawaguchi Masao was restlessly staying awake.
How could he sleep when his son had been kidnapped?
‘Please… let my son be safe… oh God.’
He was praying to a God he had never believed in before.
What if his son had been harmed?
It was natural for extreme thoughts to occur.
After all, he had heard through the police that his son was kidnapped by Yakuza.
―Why did those bastards kidnap our son? For what purpose?
―We don’t know that well either, but… it’s probably a coincidence.
―A coincidence? He got caught up by chance?
―Yes. No matter how Yakuza they are, they wouldn’t be stupid enough to kidnap a Governor’s child. If they knew, they would have already made threatening calls.
―Then? What was the purpose of the kidnapping?
―Well… that’s…
―Tell me! There must be a purpose for the kidnapping!
―I’m hesitant to say this, but… the purpose is clear. If they have a decent build, they’re sold for human trafficking or organ trafficking, and pretty women are exploited as sex slaves. It’s an organization specialized in that kind of thing.
―Ah…
―Moreover, these guys aren’t just ordinary yakuza. They’re those who have awakened as Apostles.
―Apostles? Then isn’t it more dangerous?
―Yes. That’s why they tend to be more brazen. But please don’t worry too much. If they find out he’s the Tokyo Governor’s son, they might make an offer. And our police are doing their best to find him, so please don’t worry too much…
Don’t worry?
How can I not worry when there’s no progress in the investigation?
‘Please, let nothing happen to our Ryusei…’
I don’t want to imagine such a thing, but what if something terrible happened?
‘I won’t let the Apostles get away with it.’
He would use his position and authority to inform the whole world about the dangers of Apostles and impose regulations.
Definitely!
Just then, his mobile phone vibrated.
‘Who could it be at this hour?’
Could it be a call from the detective?
Saying they found his son?
With that hopeful thought, he looked at the caller ID…
‘It’s an unknown number?’
Should I answer? Or not?
After hesitating, he put down the mobile phone.
‘Wait a minute.’
Suddenly he had that thought.
Maybe it could be a call from the kidnappers demanding ransom.
So with a trembling heart, he pressed the call button.
“H-hello?”
―Father.
The moment he heard his son’s voice.
―It’s me, Ryusei.
“Are you okay!? What’s the situation right now? Are you being threatened?”
―What? Threatened?
“Let me talk to them. Let me hear what they’re demanding.”
―It’s not like that. I’m fine.
“Really?”
―Really. Didn’t you see News Maru’s live broadcast?
“News Maru?”
Just then, the door burst open and his secretary came in.
“G-Governor! Your son appeared on the broadcast!”
“What?”
“Please look at this!”
On the tablet the secretary handed him, a live video was being broadcast.
Inside it, his son’s appearance being broadcast in real time.
“Ryusei? Is that you?”
―Yes. Are you watching the broadcast?
“Y-yes. I can see you clearly. What on earth happened? You’re not hurt anywhere?”
―I’m perfectly fine. Amon saved me.
“Amon?”
Who is Amon?
The savior and symbol of hope who conquers the Labyrinth as an advance team and extends the world’s deadline for destruction.
Even ordinary people knew about such a hero.
“You met Amon?”
―Yes. He dealt with the kidnappers and saved us before leaving.
At that moment, the sound of sirens could be heard from the video.
―Ah, the emergency medical team has arrived now. He said I should get examined just in case.
“Yes, that’s good.”
―I’ll contact you when I arrive at the hospital. See you there.
“Alright. I’ll be there soon too.”
The call ended, but he could see his son waving in the video.
He was truly saved.
Looking at the comments appearing in real time.
└Amon saved the Governor’s son!
└Seeing him talk to his father is touching…
└The one who left coolly without even accepting thanks is truly…
└As expected of Amon.
└Amon is humanity’s hero!!
└Japan owes him a debt!
└Great Amon!
└Amon! Amon!
└A!
└mon!
From the circumstances, it’s certain that Amon saved my son.
“Tanaka.”
“Yes, Governor.”
“Prepare a vehicle for me. I’m going to the hospital where my son is. And find out about Amon’s whereabouts too.”
He had to repay his debt to the savior who rescued his son.
In whatever way possible.
