Heyo
Most adventurers didnt see much of Mr. Masked Man because of the recapture of Shinjuku Station until recently, right?
But these adventurers are returning to their hotowns after the operation to retake Shinjuku Station.
Im sure most of them would mistake Mr. Masked Man for a monster by now
I know this is a Northern-Japan-local board but I think its nice to have a place to make our reports, dont you think?

When you say he can split his body in two, are you referring to THAT?
As usual, he gives the creeps lol
But wait a mont!
His mask shines now!?
After finishing their business in Asahikawa, Haruki and the others safely returned to K-Town.
Haruki had been away from ho for three weeks.
He would normally be relieved to be back ho, but this ti around, Harukis expression was extrely gloomy.
There was but one reason for that.
It was all because of his newly obtained skill.
Karen went to the hotel in order to sort out their baggage.
Haruki also took his baggage ho.
He gave Mr. Kitora so of the lamb at he had obtained in Asahikawa, and got so freshly harvested peppers in return.
Going through a lot of trouble as usual, arent you, Haru?
I should be the one saying that.
Perhaps he was enthusiastic about working in the fields under the scorching sun of midsumr.
Mr. Kitoras skin was beautifully tanned.
Because of that, his swelling muscles were standing out.
He was over 70 years old, but he didnt feel old.
Instead, in the sumr, his vitality seed to increase in proportion to the growth of his crops.
Still, there was no energy coming out of Mr. Kitora.
Maybe thats because hes an ordinary person?
Not only Mr. Kitora.
Nature and living things, which were supposed to be overflowing with vitality, showed no signs of having this energy.
Haruki thought that perhaps it was necessary to have a certain level of dungeon experience in order to gain energy.
Once that was done, Haruki headed for the prefab.
Huuh!?
Akane double took Haruki as he ca into the prefab.
She seed extrely surprised. Her eyes were opened wide.
What did you do this ti?
Why is your mask shining!? It looks almost divine!
Thats a long, long story
Haruki dropped his shoulders.
What Akane was pointing out was a fact.
She said the mask was shining, but it wasnt actually really shining.
To be more precise, the mask had co to look shiny.
Currently, Harukis mask had beco visible to others as a divine mask that glows while floating in the air.
That was due to his new skill, Divine Energy.
[Divine Energy: Grants a strong presence]
Haruki thought this ant that it would be the power to obtain a strong, godly presence.
His interpretation hadnt been that far off.
He had certainly obtained a godly presence.
However, sothing unexpected happened.
For so reason, the mask ca to look shiny.
Was that because the masks presence was too strong? Or maybe because Harukis presence was weak?
Of course, Haruki could suppress the masks shining through his own willpower.
However, as soon as he stopped paying enough attention to it, the mask would start to emit light once again.
If he were to get used to it, he would be able to suppress the Divine Energy even when unconscious.
However, while he wasnt used to it, the mask would suddenly emit light without any logical reason.
The mask would shine when he was relaxed, and it would start blinking when he was disturbed.
When he thought he had a good grip on the skill, only his eyes would shine, and if he were to put too much effort into controlling it, the hairs on the mask would stand on end, almost resembling a halo.
At any rate, his Divine Energy was too dangerous to be used in front of others.
Even Haruki, who wanted to have a strong presence, couldnt accept the masks shining effect.
Its all wrong.
That was not what I was looking for!!
No matter how many tis he tried to deny it, the skills nature wouldnt change.
On top of that, maxing it out wouldnt make it go back to zero.
It was no use to cry over spilt milk.
He had no choice but to do his best to suppress his Divine Energy.
And then there was yet another unexpected thing that happened.
It was the absolute worst.
Whenever Haruki would take off his mask, no matter how divine it looked, there was no change in Harukis presence.
In other words, if the original presence is zero, no matter how much you multiply with Divine Energy
Even if you multiply zero by 100 million, the result will still be zero.
Uuuhh!!
W-Why are you crying!? Hey! Calm down?
She must have heard him crying aloud under the mask.
Even though she was confused, Akane tried to comfort Haruki.
Her gentle tone of voice drew more tears out of him.
And here I was, thinking I would finally get a strong presence!!
Darkness brings out the light, and light brings out the darkness.
In the sa way, the mask beca brighter.
Leaving Harukis own presence behind
