Chapter 223: Chapter 18: First Police Work



Joining Kisara Tendo company meant officially being connected with her. 

Three days later, Nia Honjo received news about her first police job. 

The work naturally involved a commission to hunt Gastrea creatures. 

Some citizens had reported that a Gastrea had appeared at the junction of the outer area and the central area. There had been no casualties so far, but if it were allowed to wander the streets, casualties would be inevitable sooner or later. 

Hunting Gastrea in urban areas was an extremely heavy task because some cunning Gastrea knew how to use the complex terrain of the city to hide themselves, which doubled the work of the police. It took a lot of time just to find the prey. 

Moreover, the commission fee was usually jointly funded by the community surrounding the Gastrea location. Although it sounded like a lot, in reality, the people living at the junction of the central area and the outer area were all poor, like Nia Honjo and Rentaro Satomi. 

There wasn't much money to be made, and no police company with any reputation in the surrounding area was willing to take on the job. 

After being passed over and transferred from one company to another, the commission eventually landed with Kisara Tendo. 

For Kisara Tendo, who usually received no commissions, this meager job was a lifeline. 

So, she notified Nia Honjo and Rentaro Satomi as soon as possible. 

The two searched for traces of the Gastrea from different directions, greatly reducing the workload for both parties. 

Although Nia Honjo's main purpose for joining the Tendo Civil Guard Company was not to eliminate Gastrea creatures, she had nothing important to do except draw comics occasionally, so she didn't refuse and accepted the job. 

"Let's go, Nibelcole." 

After receiving the work, Nia Honjo immediately put down the paintbrush in her hand and got ready to leave. 

This was her first battle as Nia Honjo in this world. 

Not knowing her own combat power was a very bad thing. Although she knew how to use her angel and spiritual equipment, she was still unsure about how well she could perform in a real battle. 

If she could fight the Gastrea without any reservations this time, perhaps she would learn her own strengths. 

Rather than taking on commissions and earning bounties, she actually wanted to test her own abilities more. 

"Sister, I can go and help," Shiraishi Hina followed. "Although I can't help much in battle, I can still be useful in finding the Gastrea creatures." 

"I have a special method to find Gastrea, so you don't have to worry about that. Just stay at home and look after the house." 

"All right…" 

Shiraishi Hina went back, somewhat disappointed. 

She was not a powerful cursed child. Most of the powerful cursed children were taken in by the International Initiate Supervisory Organization, and those left in the outer areas were judged to be of no use. 

The Gastrea factor provided strength to the cursed children. For example, Enju Aihara was a cursed child with the rabbit factor, so she had excellent kicking and mobility abilities. 

Shiraishi Hina Gastrea factor was a bird-type factor, and her regenerative ability was also very good, but the improvement in strength and speed was not very noticeable. She was suitable for reconnaissance but not good at combat. 

The only thing worth mentioning was her voice. 

According to her, she could use sound waves to detect the surrounding terrain and creatures, which was why she could survive alone despite being blind. 

However, Nia Honjo was the strongest reconnaissance angel. Nothing in this world could be hidden from her. As long as she spent a little spiritual power, she could get any answer she wanted from the search page of the Rasiel. 

Therefore, Shiraishi Hina and Nia Honjo did not have good compatibility. 

But fortunately, Nia Honjo's real partner was not Shiraishi Hina but Nibelcole. She had picked up Shiraishi Hina not because she wanted her to fight but simply to give her a home, with no intention of using her. 

However, Shiraishi Hina seemed to feel a little embarrassed to eat for free. These days, she not only learned to do housework but also took the initiative to offer to help Nia Honjo with her police work. 

It was not easy to reject a child's kindness, especially when the other person would feel lost after the rejection. 

But Nia Honjo had no other choice because she really didn't need Shiraishi Hina's help, and bringing her along would only restrict her movements. 

After all, she didn't even know if she could protect herself from the attack of the Gastrea creatures, let alone protect others. 

"The mission location isn't that close. Let's use our spiritual power to fly there." 

When Nia Honjo and Nibelcole walked out of the church, they both changed from their home clothes into divine spiritual attire. 

Spirits in their normal state were actually no different from ordinary people; even their physical fitness was almost the same. 

However, with the enhancement of the Divine Power Spiritual Armor, their physical abilities increased several times, and the use of spiritual power became smoother. 

Controlling their spiritual power to make their bodies light, Nia Honjo and Nibelcole leaped at an astonishing speed across the low-rise apartment buildings, like superheroes, attracting the attention of passersby around them. 

But people were only slightly surprised, and no one showed any shock. 

Because in today's world, the abilities of the top-ranked police officers were far beyond common sense, and there had been police officers who performed parkour on rooftops before. 

Summoning the proclamation volume, Nia Honjo wrote something on the search page. 

[Tell me the location of the Gastrea in the request.] 

[34.6924° N, 136.1620° E] 

"Ah… I don't understand longitude and latitude," Nia Honjo said in embarrassment. "Can you give me another way to get there?" 

[→] 

"It can actually understand what I say? This thing is smarter than the system!" 

The content displayed on the proclamation volume turned into an arrow pointing to the location of the Gastrea. 

Nia Honjo nodded with satisfaction, holding the proclamation in one hand, and followed the arrow toward the destination. 

After a while, they left the residential area and came to a place closer to the outer area. 

In an open space, the Gastrea they were tracking was clearly there. 

However, there was more than just the Gastrea here there was also a cursed child fighting it all alone. 

"Ah, I was beaten to it." 

Nia Honjo stopped on a nearby tree, looked at the fierce battle not far away, and said with regret. 

"I didn't expect that someone would compete with me for such an unprofitable commission. The internal competition among the Tokyo police is really too serious."
