Chapter 48: Akaso Kaze-sama

Before Akaso Kaze could answer, a voice came from the side.

"Of course it's real. Hello, I am Ochiai, the curator of this art museum."

The person speaking was an old man who was somewhat bald, had thick, long eyebrows, and gray whiskers.

"I have seen that moving armor with my own eyes."

"It was the night before last, Kubota and I were on duty in the art museum."

"In the middle of the night, I went to the restroom, and Kubota saw that armor walking back and forth on the monitor."

"When I came back from the restroom, Kubota told me. I didn't believe it at the time and ran to check the place where the armor had appeared."

"Then, I saw..."

Curator Ochiai paused deliberately, seeing everyone staring at him nervously, then said gloomily:

"The armor was really walking, right in front of me!"

"I flashed my flashlight at it and saw two flames flashing with green light from the visor! Then, I was scared unconscious."

"When I woke up, only Kubota was by my side, but the armor was already gone."

Akaso Kaze curled his lip.

This old man's ability to make up stories seems quite strong!

What "saw green flames"?

That moving armor was this old man himself, wasn't it?

As if I haven't read the manga or watched the anime.

Mao Li Kogoro asked curiously from the side: "Really? Could it be that Curator Ochiai saw wrong? Also, did the surveillance footage capture the scene of Curator Ochiai and the armor facing each other?"

"No."

Kubota, who walked over upon hearing the sound, shook his head, "At that time, the armor had just walked to a place the monitor couldn't see."

"Sir, there is no need to doubt. Curator Ochiai's words will absolutely not be false. He has worked at the Medieval Art Museum his whole life, is honest, and would absolutely not lie about this."

Wouldn't lie?

Akaso Kaze sneered in his heart.

This old man has already started practicing for murder, and he wouldn't lie?

Ran and the others were still surrounding him and asking questions, while Akaso Kaze began to wander around, looking for the magic tool material he had predicted.

"Predict materials suitable for making magic tools."

Prediction magic cannot be used continuously, otherwise, the magic power consumption is too great.

Just use it every once in a while to confirm the direction.

Looking at the direction the arrow pointed, Akaso Kaze's eyes suddenly lit up, and his mouth curled up.

Is this thing also a magic tool material?

That would be too amazing.

A hundred times stronger than those broken branches.

However, it was very clear that it was probably the most important tool for Curator Ochiai to commit murder, and getting it wouldn't be easy.

Akaso Kaze's eyes flickered, and a thought crossed his mind.

He turned and walked toward a middle-aged man who was bossing people around in the distance and was very conspicuous.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Mano?"

"Who are you?" Mano turned his head and looked at Akaso Kaze suspiciously.

This handsome young man carried an extraordinary aura that made people have to show respect.

"I am an Onmyoji, named Akaso Kaze, here is my business card."

"Akaso Kaze..." Mano pondered for a moment and was suddenly stunned, "Could it be the Akaso-sama who defeated the three great Onmyoji of Tokyo?"

Akaso... sama...

Am I that famous now?

Akaso Kaze nodded.

"What are Akaso-sama's orders?"

Mano's attitude immediately became respectful.

He had heard that this young man had real skills; the three most famous Onmyoji in Tokyo had all been defeated by him.
