As Asano Kiyoshi's words fell, the mirror-like images surrounding him all shattered, transforming into the most dreamlike specks of Reishi light amid the lingering heat of Ryūjin Jakka!
The specks of Reishi light poured down from the sky like a river of stars, their immense spiritual pressure even obscuring the clear blue heavens!
People instinctively stretched out their arms, catching the Reishi rain blooming from the sky.

"I am the new Kidō Corps Combat Unit Captain, and at the same time, the lover of the current Chief Kido Master, Asano Kiyoshi!"
