The Hero of Shadow Hunter (English)

77

After finishing securing the villain's body, Izuku followed the police to the police station. During the journey, he didn't say anything and just observed the situation. He followed Tsurugamae Kenji who had previously approached him to his office and asked him to wait a moment.

Despite holding the position of vice guild master of Japan's No. 1 guild, Izuku did not protest this treatment since he realized his current position was as a witness in this incident. After all, this wasn't the first time he had been in this position. Not long after, Tsuragamau returned with a tablet in his hand.

" Sorry for the inconvenience, but please understand the current situation "

" it doesn't matter "

After hearing Izuku's no-objection answer, Tsurugamae then sat in front of him.

" So, vice guild master, can you tell me why you are there? "

" Well, I happen to be near there. "

" Is that true? "

Izuku casually nodded at his question. Tsuragamae tried to read the change in expression on Izuku's face but to no avail. Izuku had a calm expression on his face, almost blank in fact. He also showed no change in expression since they met which made it difficult to determine whether he was lying or not.

" Okay, then why did you kill the villain? As you should know, using force for profit to injure, let alone kill, is a clear violation of the law. "

" There is something you need to fix, all I did was carry out my duties as a Hunter. And what I killed was not a criminal or a human, but rather a monster. "

Hearing Izuku's words, Tsuragamae couldn't help but doubt his ears. He even stopped his typing hands and looked at Izuku with a blank look.

" Sorry, a monster? What do you mean? "

" As I said, the creature I killed was like a monster that emerged from the gate "

" Monsters? Are you sure about that? But there are no reports of gates appearing or dungeon breaks occurring. "

" Yes, but whether I'm sure or not, I don't know either. "

" Then... "

" Let's just say I just followed my hunch, moreover I can feel the monster's mana coming from it. "

" But still, you don't have to kill him, couldn't he be human? "

" Indeed, but can that creature be said to be human? "

Hearing Izuku's question, Tsuragamae once again fell silent. He could feel Izuku's gaze penetrating him and picking up on the doubt he hid deep inside his mind. As Izuku suspected, Tsuragamae did have similar suspicions which made him unable to deny or confirm the words of his interlocutor. Not with the experience and instincts he had honed over his years as a police officer.

But with just assumptions and suspicions, he couldn't immediately conclude. He still needed evidence to support his suspicions. After finishing his inner debate, he looked back at Izuku who still had a calm face.

" I understand, we will continue this conversation after the autopsy results on the villain's body are complete. "

" Of course, I'm also a bit curious about that monster. "

" Was that a request as a deputy guild master? "

Izuku just smiled at Tsuragamae's question. Seeing this Tsuragamae could only sigh in resignation. Even without hearing the answer further, he already knew the answer. Moreover, Izuku carries the name of the number 1 guild in Japan on his shoulders, making it even more difficult for him to refuse.
