The Appearance of Kurozumi Higurashi!

It was evening.

The beautiful sunset clouds painted the sky a fiery red, but today the color leaned slightly towards an ominous, blood-red hue.

A bit scarlet!

If someone in this era could look down on Tokyo from a high altitude, they would clearly see a vast green area in the center of this city where land is incredibly valuable and buildings are everywhere.

This is the royal palace of Nippon, which they call the Imperial Palace Residence.

Its north side is called 'Kitanomaru Park', its east side is called 'East Gardens', and its south side is called 'Outer Garden'. These three areas are open to the public, meaning that ordinary people can come and visit them at any time.

But the west side is out of the question, because that's where the real Imperial Palace is located.

Whether it was Ho-mei Hall, where state banquets were held, Chokaho Hall, where foreign guests were received, or the Imperial Residence where the royal family lived, all of these were located here.

These palaces, with their green White Wall, brown bronze pillars, vast lawns, and dense forests, along with the moat surrounding the entire Imperial Palace, give a sense of elegance and simplicity rather than grandeur.

Besides.

Within the Imperial Palace, there are two other departments that are extremely important to the royal family: the Imperial Household Agency, which is responsible for their daily lives, and the Imperial Guard, which is responsible for their personal safety.

The Imperial Guard is actually under the jurisdiction of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

In other words, it's actually a group of police officers responsible for security, with a total number of about two thousand.

At this time.

A group of indifferent-looking, muscular figures in black suits cast long shadows as they approached the moat in the setting sun.

Because it was well past its opening hours.

The Hokkyobashi Gate to the north, the Hanzō Gate to the west, the Hirakawa Gate to the east, the Otemon Gate to the southeast, and the Kikyo Gate have all been completely closed.

The Sakashita Gate, Sakurada Gate, and the main gate on the south side were heavily guarded, with armed police officers scanning the surroundings or patrolling back and forth everywhere.

As expected, the CIPHER POL members were quickly spotted and alerted.

These people really don't look like ordinary residents; they look more like a group of yakuza members preparing to storm the Imperial Palace!

But where do gangsters get the audacity to provoke royalty?

"Notify the Metropolitan Police Department immediately and have them send someone over!"

The head of the Imperial Palace Patrol, responsible for the main gate, was Manabe (dao4) of the Security Section 2. He first gave instructions to one of the Imperial Palace Patrolmen behind him, and then loudly warned those outside.

"This is the main gate of the Imperial Palace. Unauthorized personnel are strictly prohibited from approaching. If you step onto the Nijubashi Bridge, we will arrest you for the Imperial Palace!"

But his righteous and stern shouts had no effect whatsoever; the men in black continued to Earth Flow over blatantly.

"Is it not going to work? Looks like we'll have to take action."

Seeing Manabe, Masahiro chuckled and shrugged, saying, "Alright, this is a rare opportunity. Without something like this, we'd have no chance to use our swordsmanship skills that we've practiced for over a decade. What do you all think?"

"Haha, the minister is right. They don't seem to be carrying any weapons. Let's subdue them with our scabbards later."

"I wonder whose family they are; they're going to be in deep trouble!"

The patrolling police officers on duty joined in the laughter, while their right hands eagerly gripped the scabbards.

Unlike the police outside, these Royal Guard police officers are not armed, only carrying swords, a rule that has been passed down since the Edo Period.

Since then, the Nippon royal family has been recruiting various Swordsmanship as royal guards, and now they are selected from sword masters within the Metropolitan Police Department.

Anyway, the Metropolitan Police Department isn't far from here, and this is the heart of the capital, so it doesn't really matter whether I bring a gun or not.

"Minister!"

"Hey, Tonomoto, how's the contact going? How many minutes will they be there in about? Let me guess, maybe four minutes?" Manabe teased.

"No, no, no one answers the phone at the Metropolitan Police Department!"

"I called three times and couldn't get through, and I also called four acquaintances and still couldn't get through!"

At the same time.

The four Cipherpols outside the iron gate suddenly accelerated, their galloping legs becoming afterimages in Setsuna, and in the blink of an eye, they had swept across the Nijubashi Bridge over the moat.

[Thump!]

The next second, a huge explosion rang out, and the dozen or so palace policemen stared in disbelief as a protruding fist mark appeared on the thick iron door, followed by a second and a third.

The fist marks appeared very quickly; within seconds, the massive iron gate was covered with them.

[Boom----]

With the final blow, the iron gate finally gave way, shattering into more than a dozen bent Tekkai that splattered outwards, sending the two unfortunate men flying through a spray of blood.

Manabe was completely stunned, frozen in place, not even noticing the drops of blood splattered on his face.

"Minister! It's an enemy attack!!"

At that moment, Inspector Tonomoto, who had gone to contact the Metropolitan Police Department earlier, loudly startled his colleagues around him. At the same time, he quickly drew his Samurai from his waist and pointed the gleaming tip of the blade at them.

"Can"

Manabe watched the four dark figures emerge from the broken doorway, he subconsciously swallowed hard. He thought to himself, "These guys are the kind of people who can punch through an iron door!"

"Good, Mr. Tonomoto, your courage is commendable! All of you, charge! Take them down!"

However, he reacted quickly, immediately issuing an angry order, looking as if he was ready to fight the attackers to the death.

"Yes!"

"Go!"

This made the surrounding Imperial Patrol act impulsively, brandishing their Samurai swords and charging forward with shouts, but immediately Manabe's shouts rang out from behind them.

"Brothers, hold on! I'm going to call for backup!"

After saying that, Manabe turned and ran without hesitation. He had great confidence in his eyesight; the four people didn't have any large items on them, so it was impossible for them to have used any machine to break through the iron gate.

What would happen if a fist that can leave a mark on an iron gate were to hit a person?

He doesn't want to experience it!

Suddenly, as Manabe was running, he heard a sharp whooshing sound in his ear.

The next moment, a bright crescent-shaped blade of light slashed across his waist. It was so fast that he didn't feel any pain at first, and only realized he had been split in two when his upper body slid down.

Before darkness engulfed him, he caught a glimpse of his dozen or so men lying lifeless in pools of blood, with several broken blades scattered on the ground.

"Wow, so fast. When?"

At that moment, other directions of the Imperial Palace were also breached by CIPHER POL, and the alarms that had never been sounded since their installation began to scream desperately, like a woman being raped crying for help.

Hundreds and thousands of Imperial Police surged toward the four gates in droves, engaging in a fierce battle with the men in black who rushed in.

Tekkai, Shigan, Paper Arts, and the Rankyaku —each strike takes a large number of lives.

Especially the Rankyaku, which can basically slice a body in a line into a bloody mess of chunks, with gushing crimson blood, along with severed limbs, splattering onto the sandy ground covered with pebbles.

Inside the temple.

The Emperor, who had just finished worshipping his ancestor Amaterasu Omikami, was shocked to hear the wails and screams outside. The five cabinet ministers behind him were even more astonished.

"What happened!"

Prime Minister Kato shouted towards the outside of the hall, but no one responded, which made the atmosphere eerie and terrifying.

"Hehehe, I knew it. There would definitely be a use for me, but it's in another world. That's quite unexpected."

A white-haired old woman with a hideous face like a demon Earth Flow a cold smile, followed by a series of shrill screams.

"You! Who are you? How dare you trespass on the Imperial Palace!"

Army Minister Shibato and Navy Minister Koyama took two steps forward, shielding the Emperor, the Prime Minister, and the others behind them. They were, after all, soldiers, and although they were old, they still had courage.

"Hey, my name is Kurozumi Higurashi, but soon this place will be mine, so you're the ones who trespassed~~"

After saying that, Kurozumi Higurashi walked over with her hands raised and laughed, "But before you die, let me touch you!"
