The Incoming...
After being rejected, Uraraka Shige did not linger in the city, but returned directly to the place where she and Gu Yu and the others had temporarily settled.
When he returned, Gu Yu and 'Deflagration' had already arrived before him, bringing back the contact information of the 'Big Celebrity Agent', Kurogiri Giran.
And... how should I put it?
According to Gu Yu and 'Deflagration', finding this 'big-name agent' was not as difficult as everyone had imagined.
Perhaps it's because this guy is quite well-known in this circle?
Or perhaps he himself was also searching for information about the 'enemy group' of Uraraka Shige and his associates?
In short, whatever the reason may be.
In fact, Gu Yu and 'Deflagration' simply wandered around the alleys a few times, asked a few guys who were either thugs or 'enemies', and unexpectedly obtained the guy's contact information without encountering any significant resistance.
Furthermore, Gu Yu and 'Deflagration' had previously asked different people several times for Kurogiri Giran's contact information in order to verify the accuracy of the contact information they obtained.
The final verification results showed that most people's accounts were relatively consistent, and there were no differences regarding the specific contact information...
It can be said that they have essentially completed their mission in finding the whereabouts of Kurogiri Giran.
However, since the true identity of Kurogiri Giran remained a mystery to them, Gu Yu and 'Deflagration' did not dare to use the contact information directly, even though they had obtained it. Instead, they planned to contact Kurogiri Giran through this method after Uraraka Shige and the others had finished their respective tasks and returned to the gathering place.
... Uraraka Shige naturally told the two of them about the results of his Terumi Family for help, and the two of them had different reactions after hearing it.
Gu Yu didn't seem to care much about this, reacting calmly, as if he had already anticipated it... But in reality, Uraraka Shige knew that he simply didn't care about it.
'Deflagration' suddenly jumped up, loudly emphasizing that he remembered this matter and would never seek Terumi Family Shenjia's help again. He also mocked Uraraka Shige for being unreliable, but was eventually persuaded by Gu Yu to calm down.
The group waited there for two more days before 'Heavy Water' and 'Shadow Transformation' finally returned.
After some questioning, Uraraka Chu learned that the two guys had gone together to the 'United' for help, but they hadn't found anything. The 'United' didn't have much information about the remnants of the 'AFO' either.
After that, guided by Yamato, they found some members of the 'Kyoyama Society' and obtained a lot of unexpected information from them.
While it might not necessarily have any real effect, it at least let them know that the remaining members of 'AFO' are not doing well either. Due to 'AFO's' death, multiple forces are targeting them, and many members are in a precarious situation. Moreover, they also learned that some officials in the island nation have extremely close ties with 'AFO,' and many have even been removed from their posts because of it.
However, it is conceivable that there will be some officials who have not been exposed and who are either partners or hidden subordinates of 'AFO'.
Therefore, for Uraraka Shige and others, they will have to be more careful and cautious in their future actions, avoiding and guarding against the gaze and actions of the 'official'.
Because they simply couldn't be sure whether, once they were caught, they would be imprisoned or secretly dealt with.
After exchanging information, their next goal was to contact the 'big-name agent', Kurogiri Giran, and to find the 'Meta Liberation Army'.
The contact information for Kurogiri Giran was surprisingly simple and convenient, as the two men Gu Yu, obtained simply from a phone number.
Although people have various concerns and reasons that prevent them from making this call using their own mobile phones, this has never been a major problem.
Because generally, many convenience stores have public telephones, and you can get the right to use them for a certain period of time by paying a small fee.
Moreover, in this day and age, mobile phones are widely available. If you are polite enough, genuinely need the phone urgently, and it won't cause any problems for the owner, it's generally easy to borrow one and use it briefly in front of the owner.
The latter method was naturally chosen by Uraraka Shige and others.
They first jokingly chose the person to "borrow" the phone by playing rock-paper-scissors. Then, the chosen person wandered through the alleys, found a "kind person" with a phone, and through reasoning and persuasion, at the strong request of the "victim... kind person," "temporarily" "borrowed" the phone and took it back to the place where everyone was staying.
Then, in front of everyone, he used the 'borrowed' phone to dial the number used as a contact method.
After a wait of about ten seconds, Uraraka Shige and the others successfully contacted one of the partner forces of Kurogiri Giran and obtained from this partner force the real way to contact Kurogiri Giran.
Then, through the contact information obtained from the Kurogiri Giran partners, Uraraka Shige and others finally managed to contact this 'big-name agent', Kurogiri Giran.
Although they didn't get much information about AFO's hidden old members from here, they successfully confirmed the possibility of cooperation between them with Kurogiri Giran, and reached a verbal agreement over the phone. They also obtained information about the 'Meta Liberation Army'... such as the city where this force is located.
So, after hanging up the phone and agreeing to contact each other again, Uraraka Shige and the others decided on their next plan... They planned to go to that city (which has a name in the original work, but I personally don't like the name of the city, so it will not appear in this article; I will refer to it as that city here) and try to get enough information from the 'Meta Liberation Army' about the hidden old members of 'AFO'.
... Uraraka Shige and others are currently identified as 'enemies', and the name of the 'enemy group' they belong to is 'The Wandering Protector'.
This is enough to show that once they decide to take action, they need almost nothing to prepare and can set off immediately.
That's exactly right!
After they hung up the phone and discussed their decision, they all stood up, ready to take immediate action.
But just as they were getting up to take action... the sound of a sharp weapon cutting through the air, mixed with the sound of glass shattering, reached the ears of everyone present.
Someone attacked them!
