Chapter 1648 – 130. Put Aside All Pride.

Defeat of Rin Kousaka

This shocking news sent the entire archipelago into panic.

Who is Kousaka Rin

The strongest of Japan with the nickname Thunder God

Although it is an individual, its military power is said to be equivalent to that of the nation.

Wasn’t he the guardian deity who protected Japan from the worst monster wave called Hundred Ghosts?

It is only natural for the people to fall into confusion

“…Haaa.”

And this person

The same was true for Prime Minister Kasuda

I was so confused by the series of situations that suddenly occurred that I couldn’t calm my mind

‘I never would have thought that the Raijin would be completely devastated and defeated.’

Raijin

Japan’s only SSS-class hunter with overwhelming force worthy of the nickname God of Lightning

After awakening, he saved the archipelago in crisis several times and is called the guardian god of Japan.

Because she was like that, I couldn’t believe she lost.

It was something I couldn’t even imagine

“…Hey, Secretary Tatsuo.”

“Please speak, sir.”

The Prime Minister’s Secretary, Tatsuo, who was nearby, answered politely.

“Can you believe it? Raijin’s defeat… I just can’t believe it.”

“To be honest, I can’t believe it either. Isn’t she the Thunder God? The steadfast guardian deity who protected the archipelago from the Hundred Demon Nights, said to be Japan’s worst disaster… I can’t believe she lost like that…”

What’s hard to believe is that the Prime Minister’s Secretary, Tatsuo, was the same.

The status she had built up was not low enough to be denied at once

“…It’s the same for me…I can’t believe it…That Thunder God was defeated…”

“…Couldn’t I have let my guard down?”

“I wish it was like that.”

But the possibility is low.

Unlike Kousaka Rin, who was completely devastated, the monster that jumped out of her gate and she did not even have minor damage.

“…What is the situation?”

“The monsters are only wandering around the gate and are not making any significant movements. Accordingly, the area has been placed in an emergency blockade and hunters and self-defense forces have been deployed to monitor the situation.”

“It’s a blessing in disguise. It’s a passive movement..”

If they had advanced to the city, the archipelago would have faced a catastrophe that could not even be compared to before.

“But we cannot be completely at ease…”

Secretary Tatsuo opened his mouth with a sombre expression.

“Yeah… I guess so.”

It is welcome that the damage does not spread, but if the monster does not leave the perimeter of the gate, the gate will not close.

It was not a situation where one could feel completely at ease.

As long as the gate is open

It wasn’t surprising that another monster would pop out at any time

“Have there been any special messages from Korea, the US, the UK, and Germany?”

The moment Raijin was defeated

We quickly requested support from other countries.

“The United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany have expressed their refusal. They seem to be skeptical about sending their own SSS-class hunters to deal with a monster that even Raijin can’t defeat.”

“Stupid, this isn’t just a Japanese problem.”

Gasda frowned.

A very large gate that appears only in Japan

This was not just a Japanese problem.

It was obvious that if the gate was not closed, the entire Earth, beyond the Japanese archipelago, would become infested with monsters.

But you are so clueless

How can you be so short-sighted in understanding the situation?

“What about Korea?”

“There is no real answer yet.”

“You still mean it?”

Gasda frowned slightly.

Half a day has passed since I asked politely over the direct phone line.

Even if you take some action, it’s normal to do it right away, but there’s still no answer?

“It looks like no news has reached Jang Seon-woo yet.”

“The news didn’t reach you? Hasn’t it been half a day?”

It was something that was completely incomprehensible to Gasda.

News that can be delivered with just a phone call

You can’t reach it even after half a day?

What does that mean?

“Well…It has to be at least 9 a.M. To be able to contact you..”

“You must have said that every minute is an urgent matter, right?”

“The government is also saying that they are pushing it as hard as possible, saying that it would be polite to contact them from 2 p.M.”

“Are you saying the government only cares about hunters?”

I burst out laughing.

The government is proceeding with its work while paying attention to the hunters

How can this be?

“…Don’t you know, Your Excellency, that you are not just a hunter?”

The head of the world’s most powerful country, the one to whom even the President of the United States bows.

He was, in name and reality, the pinnacle of humanity and the strongest SSS-level hunter.

The modifiers in front of him are too flashy to be dismissed as just a hunter.

“… That’s true, but… Even on such an urgent matter… Are you saying that they are paying attention to it and delivering it?”

“…I think Korea may have decided that going against Jang Seon-woo’s wishes would be a bigger disadvantage.”

“…”

It really hurts one’s pride.

I can’t believe that the country of Japan was given priority by an individual named Jang Seon-woo

But I couldn’t refute it.

Not only Korea but any other country, even Japan, would make the same choice

“…So, does that mean that for now we have no choice but to wait until an answer comes from Korea?”

“…For now, yes.”

“It is truly a miserable feeling, having no choice but to rely on other countries for our country’s affairs.”

Prime Minister Kasuda had a somber expression.

It was truly shameful and miserable.

The reality is that we have no choice but to rely on other countries for important national matters.

At that time when I was so immersed in thoughts

Wow

A short vibrating sound sounded and Tatsuo checked his phone for a moment.

“Your Excellency, it is said that Rin Kousaka’s consciousness has returned.”

“You mean the Thunder God?”

“Yes, they say he is stable now.”

Tatsuo shook his head and answered.

“Prepare the car right away.”

“Do you want to meet in person?”

“He is a hero of his country. It is right for me to come and praise him in person. “I have many questions to ask.”

“Okay, I’ll put you on standby right away.”

“Then please do me a favor.”

Tokyo University Hospital

VIP room located on the top floor of a place that holds the title of the best hospital in Japan

Knock knock knock

Prime Minister Kasuda stretched out his fist and knocked lightly on his door.

“Who are you?”

Then, a bright voice coming from beyond the door tickles my ears.

“It’s me.”

A short but clear self-introduction.

“Please come in.”

Permission will be given soon.

I’m going to have a good time

As soon as permission was given, the door opened and the interior of the room, which was comparable to that of an average hotel, began to come into view.

And in the innermost bed, a woman with black hair is half-standing and staring at us.

“Welcome, Prime Minister Kasuda.”

The Raijin, Rin Kousaka welcomes him with a light smile.

“It’s been a while, Kousaka”

Gasda continued speaking in a calm tone.

“What is the condition?”

“As you can see.”

“..It doesn’t look okay.”

Gasda frowned slightly.

Bandages were wrapped all over his body, and his right arm and left leg were fixed with plaster bandages.

Even with empty words, it is a state that cannot be considered normal

“Because my whole body was crushed, my doctor said it was a miracle that I was alive.”

When he was first brought to the emergency room, his condition was extremely serious.

If it weren’t for the recovery and magic power unique to an SSS-level awakened person, it wouldn’t be surprising if he died.

Just surviving was nothing short of a miracle.

“Are you that strong? So strong that your life or death is serious.”

“It’s huge.”

“…Maybe I let my guard down…Or something like that…”

“No, I didn’t let down my guard. I gave it my all and lost without even touching a single hair.”

Kousaka Rin answered firmly.

I didn’t let down my guard.

That was because she was able to recognize it the moment she first encountered it.

If you don’t do your best, you will be killed miserably

That’s why I raised her power and hit her and was defeated.

It was a complete defeat without even an excuse.

“…I gave my all, but I lost…”

Prime Minister Kasuda’s expression becomes infinitely dark.

It would have been better if I had let my guard down and said I lost.

If you do your best, you can have a small hope that you can win.

But that hope is fleetingly dashed.

“I guess you wanted me to say I let my guard down?”

“To be honest, yes.”

I didn’t want to admit it.

The fact that she was defeated

She realizes that she cannot solve the problem with her own power.

“I feel ashamed because I feel like I didn’t live up to my expectations.”

“No, what is your fault? “This is an unavoidable disaster.”

Gasda shook his head.

She couldn’t see it as her fault.

The Gate was a disaster that could not be prevented by human power

“How strong does that monster seem to you?”

“Unfortunately, I can’t even guess at that level.”

Kousaka Rin shook her head.

It’s a shame, but the gap was overwhelming.

So much so that I can’t even guess its level

“…What kind of abilities do you have?”

“There’s nothing in particular that can be said about ability… Just overwhelmingly strong, fast, and solid.”

“Simple but strong.”

Simple is best

In some ways, it could be seen as even more troublesome.

If it were a difficult ability, you could just use various tricks to destroy it.

There was no way if it was just strong, fast, and solid.

Unless something stronger, faster, and harder breaks it.

“What are its movements? Has it advanced into the city? What are the casualties?”

“Fortunately, they said they were only loitering around the gate area, but the area has now been urgently sealed off and hunters and self-defense forces have been deployed.”

“Whoa… That’s a good thing.”

Kousaka Rin breathed her sigh of relief.

If that monster had advanced to the city, Japan would have faced a catastrophe of unprecedented proportions.

“But you can’t be completely reassured. Saying that it doesn’t go beyond the periphery is the same as saying that the huge gate is always open.”

“…You’re saying that you never know when something similar to that monster might pop out.”

“That’s right.”

“…It’s a dilemma.”

A situation where you can’t do this or that

It was no exaggeration to say that it was a dilemma in itself.

“Did you request support?”

“To conclude, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany have expressed their refusal. The implication is that they cannot use their own SSS-class hunters to deal with an unidentified enemy.”

“What about Korea?”

“I haven’t heard from you yet.”

Prime Minister Kasuda shook his head.

“…Everyone is doing too much. Even if we all join forces as one, it won’t be enough…I can’t believe it.”

Kousaka Rin frowned at the pretty Ami.

The emergence of a very large gate

This was not just a problem for Japan.

In the end, this is the worst situation in which the entire Earth could fall into danger of destruction.

However, like Namil, I remain ignorant and just wait and see.

How can you not frown?

“…”

Gasda did not respond because he sympathized with that frustrating feeling.

Just staring blankly into space

Wooooo much

Then something strange happened.

Suddenly, the entire hospital building began to shake noisily.

“This is…”

“Earthquake!?”

Kousaka and Kasuda, who were in despair, widened their eyes.

This was because I felt embarrassed by the sudden earthquake.

An earthquake without any warning?

What on earth is going on?

The car that was so embarrassing

Before we know it, the earthquakes are subsiding.

Suddenly

And at that moment, the hospital room door burst open.

“Your Excellency! We’re in big trouble!”

And Secretary Tatsuo, Prime Minister Kasuda’s confidant, appeared.

With a very urgent expression

“If it’s a big deal, we’ve already experienced it. An earthquake without warning, what on earth is this?”

“Look at this!”

Tatsuo stopped talking and immediately held out the tablet.

“What on earth is happening…So urgent?”

It may have seemed a bit rude, but Kasuda didn’t care and just looked at the tablet.

Because I believed there was a good reason

“This..This..”

And Kasuda’s pupils began to dilate infinitely.

It was because the unbelievable sight was reflected on the tablet screen.

It was dark red and had eight long heads and tails, reminiscent of eight blood-red valleys.

It was so thick that it was thicker than dozens of buildings combined.

And its size was so large that it covered Tokyo Airlines.

At that moment, one word came to Kasuda’s mind

The name of the legendary dragon seen in mythology a long time ago

“…Yamata no Orochi.”

That’s right.

A mythical being recorded in the Chronicles of Japan appeared on the tablet screen.

“..This..How on earth..”

He asked back with an expression of complete disbelief.

How on earth did this happen?

“…The monster that protruded from beyond the large gate, codenamed Orochi.”

“…At the very large gate.”

In the end, something happened.

A non-standard monster came out of the large gate that had been left unattended.

“Earthquakes have been occurring everywhere since Code Name Orochi appeared over Tokyo! Action is needed immediately!”

“…What happened to the hunters and self-defense forces guarding the area around the gate?”

“…Contact has been completely lost…I think the majority of people have been wiped out.”

“…Annihilation..”

I felt dizzy for a moment.

Those stationed at the gate were Japan’s elite hunters and units.

I can’t believe they were all wiped out

I couldn’t come to my senses.

What on earth should I do in this situation?

Kwazizyk

At that time, a sound like something being smashed escapes my ear.

Whiik

Turning her head, Rin Kousaka comes into view, shaking her arms and legs with her cast shattered.

“Ouch, ouch… Ouch… It still hurts.”

Waving her arms and legs, Kousaka Rin frowns her eyebrows.

“What are you doing now? Didn’t the doctor say that you need to take absolute rest for at least three weeks?”

“If this continues, I think Japan itself will disappear in three weeks.”

Rin Kousaka opened her mouth with a mischievous expression on her face.

“And who can step forward now if not me? It seems like all the best have been wiped out.”

“…That..”

It is a theory that cannot even be refuted.

Currently, there is no one else but her who has the power to protect Tokyo.

“I will do the best I can, Prime Minister, please do the best you can.”

Soon after, she begins to change her clothes without hesitation.

A suit made of special material designed to withstand tens of millions of volts of electricity

It was her her her her own hero her suit her her.

“…Then let’s live to see each other live.”

Gripping support

For a moment, a light flashed, and her brightly smiling new brother disappeared from nowhere.

As if a thunderbolt had struck her

“…Kousaka.”

I could recognize it.

The fact that she led her unfaithful body to the skies above Tokyo.

To protect the homeland

‘What I can do..’

Kasuda, who remained in her hospital room, cited her words to herself.

As if lost in thought

Bibibig Bibibig

Before long, I take out my phone and press a few buttons.

“Help… Please.”

Then, he very earnestly appeals for help in a foreign language.

The peak of Japanese power

The most powerful person

The Prime Minister of Japan, who has the power to make even a flying bird fall

Fujio Kasuda

Putting aside her all her pride, she sheds tears at her humiliation and makes an endlessly earnest request.

“Please dispatch Jang Seon-woo to our country in Japan.”

The foreign language was none other than Korean.
