“Cough.
Thanks.”
Su Tang reached out and patted the dust off his clothes, a trace of apology appearing on his face.
“Sorry.
I got this shirt of yours dirty.”
“It’s fine.
It was meant to be washed anyway.”
Makima smiled at Su Tang, dragging out the end of her sentence for a second before continuing, “But… if Mr.
Su Tang truly feels bad about it, you can take it back and wash it for me.”
“Eh.”
Su Tang realized he completely could not keep up with this woman’s train of thought.
Still, it was just one extra piece of clothing to wash.
He could take it back and have Power wash it.
Seeing Su Tang agree, Makima’s smile seemed to become even prettier.
She lightly tapped the desk with a bent finger and said, “Regarding the medical license, the assessment can begin tomorrow.
Since it’s an internal assessment, there will be a few more questions involving Devil Hunters.
Are you confident, Mr.
Su Tang?”
“No problem.”
Su Tang nodded.
During the period when he had been preparing the clinic, he had naturally also looked into Devil Hunters, a profession unique to this world.
Perhaps because of the mental pressure brought about by years of fighting Devils, or perhaps for some other reason, Devil Hunters generally did not have very good mental states.
They badly needed the help of a qualified psychologist.
“Mm.”
Makima nodded.
As if thinking of something, she then said, “Then how does Mr.
Su Tang plan to solve his lodging for the next two days?
As far as I know, the roof of your clinic has not been repaired yet.
Would you like to stay here temporarily?”
“Stay temporarily?”
Once again, Su Tang failed to keep up with Makima’s thought process.
He waved his hand and refused.
“No, I’ll book a hotel outside…”
“Hotels in Tokyo aren’t cheap, especially around Public Safety Headquarters.”
Makima rested her cheek on her hand, one crossed leg swaying gently as she continued, “Or you could temporarily stay with Aki.
How does that sound?”
Oh, with Aki Hayakawa.
Su Tang had thought…
After considering it for one second, he adhered to the concept of “frugality” he had learned from Valmont and agreed.
“All right.
I’ll explain it to Aki later.”
Makima stood up and walked to the window.
“I wonder whether Mr.
Su Tang has any free time next.
If you have nothing to do, you could follow behind Power and Denjiko and see how they patrol.
That could count as observing your employee’s behavior patterns in advance.”
That was actually a serious suggestion.
Naturally, Su Tang had nothing to do.
He had never been the type to cram at the last minute before an exam.
Whatever he needed to know, he had already memorized beforehand.
Before an exam, of course, the priority was to relax his mind so that he would not get too nervous and perform abnormally.
So he nodded and agreed.
As for whether he would be discovered while following them…
Su Tang did not care about that question at all.
Although, as a member of the Black Hand, he had never learned methods like tailing someone, and he did not have anything like the Snake Talisman on hand right now, Su Tang said he trusted Denjiko and Power’s intelligence.
The perfect stealth, of course, was not sneaking at all!
Get ✓
“Then I’ll be going.”
Su Tang stood and said.
“Okay.”
Makima nodded, but did not turn around to see him off.
Her gaze remained quietly fixed outside the window.
At that moment, outside the door, Himeno, who had let Denjiko and Power leave first while she stayed behind, removed her ear from the door.
The corner of her mouth curved upward, and she propped up her chin as she nodded to herself.
Then she quietly stood on tiptoe and swiftly left.
The next second after her figure vanished from the corridor, the door opened.
Before leaving, Su Tang gave Makima’s back one last look.
Even when this woman merely stood by the window without saying anything, she gave off a mysterious and melancholic feeling, as if she were always thinking about something.
Thinking about what?
World peace?
As the section chief of Special Division 4, she could not possibly be thinking about what to eat for her next meal.
Su Tang smiled, closed the door, and turned to leave.
Makima remained standing there quietly.
Her gaze fell toward the ground, fixing on Denjiko, who had just finished registering and was leaving Public Safety Headquarters.
In a voice only she could hear, she murmured,
“Projecting all her yearning for beautiful things… onto Su Tang?”
Su Tang had expected his tailing plan to be easy, but he had not expected it to be this easy.
The cool-looking woman walking at the front, with green hair, emerald eyes, and an eyepatch, should be Himeno.
Perhaps because she took into account that Denjiko and Power were newcomers, she deliberately slowed down the patrol pace and walked very slowly.
That meant Su Tang did not fall behind at all.
On top of that, Denjiko and Power, those two living treasures, practically bickered with each other at every step.
Su Tang was shocked to discover that he did not even need to summon the Shadowkhan.
Could it be that he was actually talented at tailing people?
Su Tang stroked his chin and began to doubt himself.
But in the next second, he saw Power and Denjiko stop and enter a small peak in their argument.
Meanwhile, Himeno turned around to face the two of them, watching with a smile and showing absolutely no intention of stopping them.
Was she really Aki Hayakawa’s senior?
Su Tang felt she was nothing like Aki Hayakawa at all.
Just as he was hesitating over whether to keep following, he suddenly saw Himeno make a gesture and say something.
Then Denjiko and Power followed her toward a side road.
Su Tang followed decisively.
As he walked, he discovered that this seemed to be a dead end, an urban blind spot used for garbage and filth.
Himeno’s voice came from around the corner ahead.
“You two, being this disharmonious all the way really affects patrol work.
You don’t want to fail the mission and get punished by Miss Makima, do you?”
“I do have a good idea.
Since neither of you can out-argue the other, why not just fight?
Whoever loses has to shut up.
How about that?”
“But let’s make this clear first.
You’re not allowed to use your abilities.
If someone sees that, it’ll be hard for me to explain.”
Miss Himeno tilted her head, hands clasped behind her back, smiling cheerfully at the two of them.
Su Tang poked his head out from around the corner and secretly observed.
Hearing this, he was speechless.
You call that… a good idea?
But clearly, the other two did not think so.
“Fine!
This great me will let you, lowly human, strike first!”
Power laughed disdainfully, but the movements of her hands clearly did not match what she said.
Before her words had even fully fallen, she had already punched directly toward Denjiko’s shoulder.
As for Denjiko, she had clearly had the same thought as Power.
Strike first, gain the advantage!
However, she did not use her hands.
Instead, the corner of her mouth split into a dangerous smile, and she sent a high kick straight toward Power’s crotch.
“Haha!
Trash woman, taste the pain of the Perineum Devil!”
