Chapter 112: Loading File Of Tokyo

After chatting with Rei Takamori along the way, Kimura Kazuki felt more relaxed.
It seemed like talking with middle-aged people was really good for physical and mental health. Rei Takamori’s mood was obviously much better also. He could finally take a hot bath when he reached home and have a good sleep as well.
They took the same train since they were both going back to Jinwen District.
Rei Takamori asked Kimura Kazuki cautiously while he was on the train, “Do you think that I should report this matter to the police department?”
For him, such a significant matter should be handled by the police department. But then, since he had a chat with Kimura Kazuki already, he thought that he should respect his opinion.
It did not matter whether it was because of the life-saving grace or his understanding toward Kimura Kazuki after their conversation along the way, he was very respectful toward Kimura Kazuki.
“You don’t have to tell the police department,” Kimura Kazuki said calmly. “If you really feel like reporting, you can find those from Deity Rising Palace and tell them.”
There was no official cultivator organization before Japan regained its reiki. This was actually similar to Huaxia.
All the popular mountains in Huaxia had their own cultivator organization. Although they were not included in the country, they would take orders from it. They would rush over immediately to chase away the demons whenever there were ghosts that were harming humans.
Back in the ancient times, there was once when cultivators entered the palace in Huaxia, and the cultivator organizations were then forced to join the country officially. However, that ended very badly.
Humans could do anything when they were blinded by greed sometimes.
As a country that was separated from Huaxia only by a narrow strip of water, a similar case happened in Japan as well. Since then, the friars from Deity Rising Palace were taboo of keeping contact with the country too...
This phenomenon finally changed only when reiki was recuperated. Huaxia then founded Spiritual Academy to manage all the cultivators in the country as a whole. On the other hand, Deity Rising Palace of Japan had made an unknown treaty with the country where the country’s regime was under the emperor’s control, while matters relating to cultivators were all managed by the Deity Rising Palace.
Regardless of before or after the recuperation of reiki, Deity Rising Palace was the most prominent cultivator organization in Japan. But since Kimura Kazuki thought that he might have traveled through time instead of being reborn so he would not know whether Deity Rising Palace already existed in Japan at that time or it was replaced by other organizations.
Rei Takamori tutted, “That’s enough then... I am careful enough to deal with an extraordinary person like you. If I’m going to deal with Extraordinary Individual of whom I don’t know, my middle-aged stress is going to be worse.”
Most importantly, Rei Takamori knew that if it were reported, he would be occupied. He was used to the serene life he was having, and he was not expecting to change. Being an average person, he really did not want to get involved in those Extraordinary Individual’s matter. He felt as if he did something wrong accidentally, it would bring him into hard times.
Soon, they reached Jinwen District and split up. Kimura Kazuki moved his gaze away only when Rei Takamori’s figure disappeared, hoping that he would not report to the police department. Otherwise, his serene life as a practitioner would be messed up.
Upon reaching home, Kimura Kazuki took his bath first. After that, he started to absorb the reiki from the Sun and Moon Sword...
Multi-armed Demon, Kiyomi Motohashi, and Reika were demons that were undergoing metamorphosis, so they had great reiki. However, the presence of impurities was significant, as well. Fortunately, the quality of their reiki was red in color. Kimura Kazuki was not expecting much.
Kimura Kazuki was only in the Fifth Foundation State when he finally finished absorbing all the reiki.
The higher the state, the more reiki was needed. The reiki from the demons of Akichi High School could only enable him to move from the Fourth to the Fifth of the Foundation State. Kimura Kazuki sighed at that thought. He would need more and more reiki in the future, and he was unsure of when he would be able to undergo Metamorphosis. He felt that he had a long way to go.
Compared to getting rid of the demons, he preferred to fulfill the obsessiveness of spirits more.
According to his previous thoughts, the difficulty level of obsessiveness would affect the quality of reiki. For example, the obsessiveness of Akie Hanzawa was regarding his hope for his brother to be independent enough, which seemed hard to achieve in general. But once Kimura Kazuki found the right way, the obsessiveness was fulfilled very soon...
While he helped Sunny Yamamoto’s grandmother to pass a word, her obsessiveness of wanting Sunny Yamamoto to “believe that Rieko was a liar” was relatively easy. But since so, the quality of the reiki produced was just ordinary.
But of course, since he did not have many examples, Kimura Kazuki was unsure of whether his guess on this was correct.
During the lunch break, Kimura Kazuki received a message from Chiba Shiori.
Chiba: The first chapter of Yuriko’s and my novel is completed. Do you want to have a look? (?•?_•?)?
So fast? Kimura Kazuki frowned slightly, worried about its quality. It was at most a few days from the day they started their discussion ... Are all light novel authors this efficient?
Kimura: Send it to me.
Very soon, he received a word file named LoadingFileOfTokyo.txt.
He downloaded and opened it. Since he read it very carefully, he spent around seven minutes to finish the 3000 words.
Although Kimura Kazuki was not a light novel author, he already knew that there would be nothing special about the first chapter of a novel, but the ‘Loading File of Tokyo’ was a bit different.
“The story is about an ordinary person named Manatsu Hokuto. Due to his migraine, he went to the neurology for consultation. However, on his second day of hospitalization, a group of policemen with dark black uniforms with the word ‘police’ written on it entered, shot at his knee, and brought him with them without stating any reason.
When Manatsu Hokuto finally woke up, he found himself in an interrogation room. He then knew from the two policemen who were interrogating him, he was caught as the mastermind for releasing toxic gas at the square. Manatsu Hokuto never did that, so of course, he denied the crime. He then experienced never-ending torture, and he was later being forced to sign a confession letter. He was lastly executed by shooting, and his body was left in the wild.”
The protagonist, Manatsu Hokuto, died in chapter one. Without reading the novel, he could guess that the protagonist would most probably use his ability to read minds, solely based on the title. A fugitive’s journey in capturing a criminal.
That was indeed a crime novel. However, the protagonist was forced to commit the crimes.
Kimura Kazuki had to admit that Chiba Shiori’s novel-writing ability was really great. He was already attracted to the novel by only reading the first chapter. There seemed to be lots of doubts.
However... to ensure that the novel did not only cater to his own preference, hence, he sat at the dining table and looked toward the four Furuhashi sisters, “I have a light novel here... only the first chapter. It was written by my friend. Can you all help me to take a look and see if anywhere needs to be improved?”
“How great can one chapter of a novel be...” Furuhashi Akino was hit by Furuhashi Harunaka before she could finish her sentence.
“Of course!” Harunaka looked at Kimura Kazuki with a smile.
Natsui and Fuyuno were curious as well...
