Chapter 62: Reward
Although what Yoshiyuki said is fallacious, it still has some historical basis.
In Japan, there has been no distinction between swords and swords since ancient times.
The katana is called both a sword and a sword.
Therefore, in Japan, if you mention a certain sword technique, you must find out whether the so-called "sword" refers to a real sword or a katana. However, if the sword technique has a long history, then there is basically no need to ask, it must be referring to the katana.
In fact, truly powerful swordsmanship is all-encompassing.
Behaviors such as poisoning with concealed weapons hidden in sleeves, even though they are despised, are classics among classics.
For example, in the swordsmanship style developed by a certain sword master back then, the most powerful move was to suddenly take out a repeating pistol during a duel and make several holes in the enemy's body.
As a result, no matter how strong the warrior is, he will often fall on it.
Therefore, he can be invincible.
Shooting in a sword duel is a form of swordsmanship.
Using a howitzer is also a type of swordsmanship.
In the same way, even if tanks and bombers are used, it does not break away from the scope of swordsmanship.
This kind of sword technique is called "unlimited sword technique" in Japanese martial arts circles.
The so-called sword master probably does not use a sword at all, but a Gatling gun.
In this case, the Broken Egg Kick is of course also a type of swordsmanship.
In a sense, the state of realizing this is the same as realizing that "there is no sword in the hand, but there is a sword in the heart".
As soon as he said these remarks, he thought that Inspector Shimamura would continue to make fun of him.
However, what he didn't expect was that Gunslinger Shimamura agreed very much with this and even praised Yoshiyuki for his high level and true understanding of swordsmanship. He might become a world-famous sword master in the future.
This rainbow fart made Yi Xing feel embarrassed to answer the question.
He even suspected that Shimamura was satirizing him, but this guy happened to be very serious about what he said, which made Yoshiyuki very confused and difficult to judge for a while.
After walking out of the sewer again, the four of them prepared to say goodbye.
Wu Lili specifically asked Gunslinger Shimamura to contact Miss Fujimori, saying that he asked her to help.
Otherwise, the store manager would definitely scold Wu Lili for leaving her post without permission.
Investigator Shimamura smiled understandingly, agreed, and expressed his deep gratitude to the three people for their help.
At the same time, it also explained how the case would probably be dealt with and what kind of rewards they would be given.
Just as Yoshiyuki had guessed, Prosecutor Shimamura said that he would probably directly announce to the public the fact that the prisoner was Shuten Doji.
Because too many skeletons with gnawing marks were found at crime scenes.
I really can’t hide it.
And because they failed to seal off every scene immediately and silence the media, everyone knew that there were no wild beasts near the scene. In this case, everyone knew that it was a monster.
After Erina heard what he said, she questioned why the Fourth Department of the Special Investigation Division had long suspected Shuten Douji, but did not mention this in the previous news, making everyone more vigilant.
Yoshiyuki actually wanted to cover the eldest lady's mouth because this question was so stupid. However, he thought it would be interesting to hear whether Gunslinger Shimamura would have any crazy reasons, so he didn't really stop him.
Unfortunately, the reason Shimamura gave was exactly what Yoshiyuki thought, and there was no sense of surprise.
That's because not only does it cause panic, it also does nothing to reduce potential victims.
They have previously reminded women, especially young girls, to pay more attention to safety.
If this monster might be a Shuten boy who specifically targets young virgins, wouldn't it make girls who are not virgins lower their vigilance?
Moreover, what if Shuten-douji is no longer so picky, or is simply a different kind of youkai?
After answering this question, Investigator Shimamura mentioned the reward.
There will be a bonus, a gift box and a certificate awarded to them.
And because Erina's tracking technique played a vital role, her bonus was doubled.
However, Erina is very rich and doesn't worry about the bonus at all. She just wants to know what's in the gift box.
After being told that it was probably a snack, she immediately cheered, which made Yi Xing want to complain about whether the owner could grow snacks. She shouldn't be as happy as a little pig when she heard about snacks.
The last thing that Gunslinger Shimamura said was the issue of confidentiality.
For the safety and security of the three people, the police will not announce the details of the battle, and of course will not take the initiative to reveal their identities.
However, if they want to be praised for this to gain fame, etc., the Metropolitan Police is also willing to help.
None of the three wanted any attention at all, so they declined public recognition.
Wu Lili probably wanted to live a quiet life and not be noticed by the public because she was a demon clan.
Yoshiyuki and Erina, on the other hand, want to live an ordinary campus life and do not want to become aliens and heroes in the eyes of their classmates as soon as school starts.
That will affect their enjoyment of ordinary and happy daily life.
After that, the four of them separated.
Yoshiyuki and Erina played together for another three days.
During this period, the news was full of coverage of the Shuten Doji serial murder case, which caused a huge sensation. Everywhere they went they heard people discussing it.
In the news, the names of the three people were not mentioned, and even the name of Gunslinger Island Village did not appear.
It just means that after the police found the criminal who was drunk and swallowing a boy, he resisted arrest with force and was therefore shot dead on the spot by the police and the psychic who assisted in handling the case.
This wording is inexplicably funny, and Yi Xing wants to laugh every time he sees it.
During the past three days, they had been having fun in Akihabara and did not go to the Black Forest Cafe.
Until I was told to go there to pick up the thank you gift sent by the police - Miss Fujimori helped bring it when she went to the police station to do business.
The gift itself is nothing special, just a gift box containing delicious snacks for each person, a certificate of honor signed by the director of the Metropolitan Police Department, and a red envelope.
Yoshiyuki's was five hundred thousand yen in cash.
And Erina's is one million.
After Erina opened the gift box, she exclaimed "Oooh!" and couldn't wait to take a bite immediately.
So, she chose the pink-looking macaron.
Yoshiyuki actually wanted to remind her not to bite too much, but he was a step too late.
Erina stuffed a whole macaron into her mouth, and then the smile immediately solidified on her face, showing an interesting expression of neither spitting nor swallowing.
It was obvious that he was overwhelmed by the overly strong sweetness, but he thought it tasted good and it was a pity that he vomited it, so his expression was so indescribable.
Yoshiyuki tried to find an accurate word to describe it.
However, after thinking for a long time, he could only find this metaphor: Someone said to the eldest lady, "If you don't cry, I will give you a limited edition stuffed dumpling." Erina agreed.
Then, she was punched and fell into an awkward expression of wanting to make dumplings and crying at the same time. On the one hand, I can't bear it anymore, but on the other hand, I don't want all my efforts so far to be in vain, so my expression is extremely complicated.
