Chapter 105: Comprehensive Score A, System New Feature Unlocked

~7 min read 1,241 words

Director Takahashi and the Minister of Foreign Affairs appeared in Arakawa Ward, right at the gate of the school where Tsuchimikado Xia Mei attended—anyone with half a brain could tell there was a connection.

Miyagi Nao quickly crouched down, hiding beside a nearby utility pole, sneaking glances while replying to her livestream audience, then shut it off.

“Dear viewers, I’ve discovered something huge. I’m going to investigate further—due to the sensitive nature of the situation, I can’t livestream. Instead, I’ll update you via my fan group. If you want to join, send gifts.”

Livestreaming a national minister in public would be detected by internet regulators in seconds, and arrest would be inevitable.

The chance of getting caught during a live group chat is low—after all, they’re all my own fans. If someone reports me, they’re just inviting trouble onto themselves and will face collective outrage from the group.

It’s like comparing a mainstream novel to a rare, hard-to-find pornographic book.

Because there are so many mainstream novels, readers can vent freely—after all, there are plenty of books; if they hate this one, they’ll just stop reading it. They’ll complain whether it’s badly written or well-written—it’s just that kind of keyboard warrior mentality.

But if it’s a pornographic book, you’ll find almost no criticism in the reviews; instead, the comments are unusually high-quality, full of encouragement and praise. Anyone who dares to criticize? Sorry—you’ll be drowned in backlash from every reader.

Why is this the case?

Because pornographic books are scarce. Rare things are valuable. Once you lose this one, finding another is nearly impossible. Everyone knows each copy is precious.

Miyagi Nao is livestreaming live footage of Japan’s national minister meeting a supernatural being—this is a scarce resource, and uniquely so. Who wouldn’t cherish every second of such a broadcast?

Add to that the fact that everyone loves gossip—no one would waste their time sabotaging this. Who’d do that unless they were bored out of their mind?

Time flew by.

Arakawa High School dismissed for the day.

“Kamikawa, I’m heading out. See you tomorrow.”

“See you tomorrow.”

Kamikawa Mitsu bid farewell to Tsuchimikado Xia Mei, stepped out of the school gate, and casually glanced at the black minivan across the street.

It seems the Japanese government takes this matter very seriously.

He was satisfied with the government’s response—the greater the attention, the more it proved his mythological creatures were gaining widespread belief.

“Now I just wait for the script points to trigger.”

The moment he finished speaking—

A cold system voice echoed in his mind.

Ding! Video uploaded, heat assessment, score: 95

Ding! Script completed, score: 95, video heat score: 95, comprehensive score: A, host has received 100,000 script points.

Hearing this, Kamikawa Mitsu prepared to use the script points to create a persona and visit the Tsuchimikado household to borrow the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword.

Unlike before, the system’s notification didn’t stop after granting script points—it chimed again.

Ding! Host’s comprehensive score has reached A-level for the first time. System upgraded. Autonomous Mini-Script feature unlocked.

Kamikawa Mitsu froze, startled.

Autonomous Mini-Script feature?

The next instant—

Kamikawa Mitsu resumed walking, drawing no attention from those around him, as if nothing had happened, while fixing his gaze on the system interface.

The system interface had changed: besides the Script panel, a new panel now appeared, labeled “Autonomous Mini-Script.”

Compared to the Script panel, the two were nearly identical.

The only difference: the “Autonomous Mini-Script” panel had no Villain Information section—only a Character section, and this section could be expanded. Clearly, in the Mini-Script panel, the villain, protagonist, and all roles must be set by Kamikawa Mitsu himself, unlike the Script panel, where the system provides the villain and constructs the script around it.

The Mini-Script is entirely autonomous—everything is arranged by Kamikawa Mitsu.

“Autonomous Mini-Script… autonomous? Does that mean I can create scripts without the system triggering a script task? I can set the villain, protagonist, and plot entirely by my own will?”

Should I try out this new feature?

Having guessed the general function of the new feature, Kamikawa Mitsu immediately wanted to test it.

He acted on impulse.

Kamikawa Mitsu opened the Autonomous Mini-Script panel.

There was no Villain or Protagonist section—only a Character section. He opened it and entered the character name “Abe no Mika no Maro,” then filled in the character details.

After completing this character, he added another character slot and entered the name “Tsuchimikado Xia Mei…”

On the way to the government’s private jet, inside the black minivan.

“Tsuchimikado Guanshi, you said Master Kūkai wants to borrow the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword—not that he himself will come to retrieve it, but someone else will come to collect it, correct?” Director Takahashi asked softly.

The Ame-no-Murakumo Sword is one of Japan’s Three Sacred Treasures and a supreme imperial relic.

Although the sword is kept at Atsuta Shrine, the imperial family retains the right to retrieve it. Thus, when Master Kūkai requested to borrow the sword from the Tsuchimikado family, the Tsuchimikado family informed the imperial household. As the government is closely tied to the imperial family, it naturally knew of this matter.

In fact, the current government is the true power behind the imperial family. Like the British monarchy, the Japanese imperial family is a ceremonial figurehead—high in status but holding no real authority. Real power lies with the cabinet. Thus, the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword is, in essence, state property, and the Japanese government has both the right and responsibility to oversee it.

For this borrowing of the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword, both the government and the imperial family dispatched representatives. The imperial family has already arrived and is waiting at the Tsuchimikado residence. The government sent Minister Uchimasa and Director Takahashi—leaving no doubt about the level of importance placed on this matter.

With the supernatural now manifesting and possessing terrifying power, the government is extremely vigilant and will not miss any opportunity to meet or curry favor with the supernatural.

“Yes. Master Kūkai said he is not borrowing the sword himself. He merely returned to this world due to matters concerning Master Saichō. Someone else used this opportunity to ask him to arrange the borrowing. The actual borrower has sent someone to retrieve the sword.”

“Did Master Kūkai say who that person might be? A photo, a name, anything?”

“He gave a name.”

Tsuchimikado Xia Mei recalled.

“A man named Abe no Mika no Maro.”

Director Takahashi, Minister Uchimasa, and accompanying Professor Nakata all reacted with shock.

Abe no Mika no Maro—what a long name.

“Abe no Mika no Maro?” Professor Nakata fell into thought, murmuring the name: “Abe no Mika no Maro… Abe… I think Professor Kitayama mentioned this surname before.”

“Professor Kitayama? You mean the senior historian Professor Kitayama who joined the Supernatural Response Bureau?” Director Takahashi asked.

To better combat the supernatural and yokai, the Supernatural Response Bureau recruited experts from across the nation in yokai studies, analysis, history, mythology, and other related fields, forming the largest analytical advisory team possible, aiming to rapidly penetrate and deeply understand the supernatural and yokai.

Professor Kitayama was one of those recruited historians—the oldest among them, a towering figure in Japan’s historical academia.

“So the true borrower is connected to the Abe surname? Or something else?” Director Takahashi gave an immediate order, unwilling to miss any chance to learn about the supernatural: “Forget it—send a plane immediately to fetch Professor Kitayama. Bring him to the Tsuchimikado residence as fast as possible.”
