Starting With The Sefirah Castle In The Anime World Chapter 98: Police Quick Action

On his rare day off, Inspector gure Juzo was enjoying a peaceful morning at ho.

As one of the police chiefs of the Tokyo tropolitan Police Departnt, it wasn't often that he got a weekend without work.

And today, he actually had plans.

Most importantly—he was going shopping with his wife.

Since his job rarely allowed for personal ti, he wanted to make the most of this precious day off.

"Honey, are you ready?"

His wife, gure Midori, was already dressed and waiting by the door.

"I'm coming, I'll be right—"

Ring, ring, ring!

Just as he was about to respond, the phone on the table rang abruptly.

The screen displayed an unknown caller, no number, just an anonymous ID.

gure sighed heavily.

Then, he turned to his wife with a pleading expression.

Midori chuckled, understanding his predicant.

She had been married to a police officer long enough to expect these situations.

"Go ahead and answer it. It might be important."

Letting out a deep breath, gure picked up the call.

---

"Sorry to disturb you on your weekend, Inspector gure."

The voice on the other end was deliberately distorted, making it impossible to tell whether the caller was male or female.

However, considering they had his personal number, they had to be soone familiar with him.

"Who is this?"

There was no caller ID, and now they were masking their voice.

gure imdiately felt that sothing was off.

"That's not important."

The caller ignored his question and got straight to the point.

"Inspector gure, I'd like to ask has there been any recent activity from a drug trafficking organization in Tokyo?"

Drug traffickers?

gure expression darkened.

This was not a minor issue.

Recently, the tropolitan Police Departnt had been paying close attention to the rising number of drug-related cris.

After all, Tokyo was a highly sensitive area, they couldn't allow organized cri to spread unchecked.

"Who are you, and why do you know about this?"

The caller chuckled.

"So it's true, then."

"Inspector gure, here's so special information for you."

"The drug dealers' base isn't in Tokyo, it's on Tsukikage Island."

"Tsukikage Island?"

gure's brows furrowed.

Tsukikage Island, a small archipelago just off the coast.

The information sounded legitimate.

And since the caller had directly used the term "drug traffickers," it was clear they had access to classified details.

"Additionally, I have sothing even more important to tell you."

"I encountered Kaguya Shinomiya, Nagi Sanzenin, Isumi Saginomiya, Sonoko Suzuki, and the second granddaughter of the forr pri minister Chika Fujiwara on Tsukikage Island."

"If they end up in the crosshairs of the drug cartel, things will get very ssy."

"!?"

gure jumped to his feet in shock.

He knew all those nas.

These young ladies were well-known within the tropolitan Police Departnt.

The Shinomiya Zaibatsu

The Suzuki Zaibatsu

The Sanzenin family

A high-ranking political lineage

A forr pri minister's direct descendant

If anything happened to them, it wouldn't just be a police matter, it would turn into a national crisis.

The police departnt, the governnt, and possibly international forces would get involved.

The phone call ended abruptly.

But gure heart was pounding.

This is serious.

He imdiately dialed his superior officer.

---

"Inspector Matsumoto, I need you to check Kaguya Shinomiya's current location, imdiately."

"What's going on?"

"I just received an anonymous call."

"They reported that Shinomiya Kaguya, along with the forr pri minister's granddaughter, Chika Fujiwara are currently on Tsukikage Island."

"And that Tsukikage Island might be the source of the drugs appearing in Tokyo."

"...!?"

Matsumoto Kiyonaga, the police superintendent, imdiately understood the gravity of the situation.

This was no joke.

If the heir to the Shinomiya Zaibatsu and the granddaughter of a forr pri minister were caught in a criminal operation, it would trigger massive political fallout.

"gure, get back to headquarters imdiately."

"You'll lead the response team to Tsukikage Island."

"We can't afford to alert the criminals but we also can't let those girls fall into danger."

"I'll have the Coast Guard mobilized for backup."

Hanging up, Matsumoto Kiyonaga imdiately began making high-priority calls.

gure's intel was too critical to delay.

As soon as they confird the locations of the young ladies, the entire tropolitan Police Departnt sprang into action.

---

anwhile, back on Tsukikage Island.

Ren hung up his phone.

With the heirs of powerful conglorates, high-ranking officials' children, and a shrine maiden in the mix...

There was no way the tropolitan Police Departnt wouldn't act quickly.

However, since they knew the enemy was a drug cartel, they wouldn't recklessly alert them.

Cornered criminals tended to act unpredictably.

Suddenly, Ren paused.

Ah—right.

Except for one specific location, Japan didn't have capital punishnt for drug dealers.

What a pity.

The thought lingered for a mont, but he didn't dwell on it.

It was best not to interfere too much with police affairs.

In any case, this was a perfect opportunity to investigate the back mountain while the police handled the drug cartel.

But—

If the back mountain really was the source of a large number of evil spirits, then there was a high chance it was also a drug production site.

Which ant—

Sonoko and Ran couldn't go.

If the worst-case scenario happened, and there were drug cartel mbers stationed up there, it would be far too dangerous.

Not to ntion—

Drug traffickers were inhuman.

The things they did...

Sonoko and Ran weren't ready to witness sothing like that.

For now, it was better to let them practice with weaker evil spirits while he scouted ahead.

---

By the ti he returned to the hot spring hotel, three girls were already waiting outside.

"All set?"

"Yeah."

Ren nodded slightly.

"I used your nas. The police should move quickly."

Fujiwara sighed deeply.

"I feel like... after my grandpa hears about this, he's going to keep a much stricter eye on ."

That was almost a certainty.

Ren shrugged.

"No one could have predicted that a simple club trip would turn into a run-in with drug traffickers."

He paused, then added wryly:

"Outdoor activities and direct encounters with criminals don't exactly go well together."
