Chapter 4 : another bombing case

I let out a relief sigh. No one died. Although there's still smoke coming out of the window. The other officers are starting to wake up, including kenji hagiwara.

I put my hand on my hips, proud of my achievements. Now..... RUN!!!!

I start running to get out of here. On the way I throw away the helmet I'm wearing, it falls near kenji hagiwara. Another officer notice me run.

"Hey! Wait! Why are you running? "

' Why? Of course because I'm not one of you guys. If I were caught, there will be trouble.' I wear my hat so they won't see my face clearly.

They were dazed, not knowing what to do. They still think that I'm one of them. After running and climb down the stairs, passing the waking guard on the way and taking a few break, I manage to get out of the building.

I heard a scream, "Hagi! Are you alright? "

I walk to the front, curious what happen. 'The bomb squad already there for a while now. Well, that obvious they use the elevator. I also want to use it but the bomb coincidentally explode near the elevator that I'm going to use. I can't just use the elevator they use. They probably already notice I'm not one of them. '

I'm out of breath, I need to rest for a bit longer. I sneak out and sit down on a nearby bench, but near enough to

Kenji hagiwara smile, and speak to matsuda jinpei, "yes, thanks to someone I'm still alive. "

Matsuda jinpei is relief, "so, who is that someone? Is that why some of the police come in the building? "

Kenji hagiwara look at the building with a wry smile, "yes, after he saves me, he run. I don't know why at that time, but now I know he is just a civilian." Kenji remember the time when they saw someone come upstairs. He then explained that someone knock him out, otherwise he can't explain how he sleep in the middle of that tension, and ask us if we saw anyone. ' At that time our face is hilarious, not knowing what to say as an unknown person just disguise as one of us. It can't be helped though, his action reduces the damage that we receive, he even protect me. If he is just a normal civilan, that orderly movement is impossible. '

"Is that a boy wore a black clothing and a hat? " Matsuda jinpei suddenly said to kenji hagiwara. Kenji hagiwara turn to junpei with wide eyes. I also flinch and my body tense up.

"how do you know? " Kenji stood up immediately.

Matsuda jinpei then point at me with his chin, " a boy that wear a full set black clothes, hat and gloves. Moreover, his clothes are dirty with trace of ash, also there's soothe on his face meaning he is near a place that burns. Plus you admit that he wear black clothes, isn't he the perfect description of that supposed person? "

I was looking at the sky. Once he finish speaking I slowly stand up and walk away. There's a lot of crowd I should be able to blend, is what I thought.

"Hey! Wait right there! " kenji shout walking towards me.

OK, that's my cue. I run as if my life was on the line. Matsuda jinpei and kenji hagiwara also start chasing me.

I somehow manage to lost them. The ghost really helpful at time like this, though they find this chase is funny. They have too much free time wandering here and there. It's fortunate that, other then the demon rampaging, the underworld and it's staff still continue to exist, if not, although they're everywhere there wouldn't be this little ghost wandering around. Just some ghost who wants to see the living world.

I then come back home, take a bath and sleep, as I'm tired of running. At night, I will continue my patrol with Yota niisan.

... time skip

I'm 19 years old, it's been a year since I graduated. I told okasan and otosan that I'll become police officers. They agree. I'm now in Tokyo metropolitan police, in the patrolling department.

It's also been a year I am officially a member of shinigami. My uniform color Change from green to blue. I got promoted.

Our uniform divide to 4. Green for newbie, blue for veteran, orange for captain, purple is commander. There's a special uniform unique to the general. Unlike the general uniform with black cargo pants and a jacket with each of their level colors, they use clothes similar to onmyouji with the design and color that they like.

Yota niisan is a commander. He is in charge of Tokyo and the surrounding city. He will take me anywhere he goes when we go on patrol. We go around pretty often that I remember the way around like it's my own backyard. I sometimes help Yota niisan do paper work, because there's a lot of it.

The demon usually comes out at night. That's why most of our activities is in the night. Their weakness is sunlight. They could die once their head come off their body. But their body is strong. As much as a bullet can't pierce their body. So only using a spiritual energy or special weapon that have spiritual energy to kill them. A sword is more convenient, while our gun is for a self defense mechanism.

The ammo that we use will turn into a blade once it shot. So the target is the neck rather than the head, making it harder. People who use gun as their main weapons is someone who is confident to hit the target.

Yota-niisan have some free time in the day, so he will work as a part timer to get extra money, even though our pay is pretty big. I asked Yota niisan about it. He answer like this at that time, "if I don't have a job, the people around us will suspect how we get our money."

I remember that I didn't live in Japan. In my previous life I live in UK. I mastered a few languages there, like France, German, Italia, and of course English.

I was supposed to be patrolling, but I fall asleep in the car right now. Last night we ran around trying to catch a cowardly demon. Really, fighting a normal demon where they attack you head on is better than running a demon that run on sight.

You might think that it's a good thing that they run, but they still attack human, especially children and woman. That's worst than the normal one. And just as we try to shoot him he manage to go in cover. Really troublesome one. And cleaning up trace sof battle is more troublesome.

That's why, despite Yota niichan have a high proficiency on gun, that could hit every target he wants, prefer using sword. My ability in using gun is also really good.

In the middle of a good sleep, suddenly, while I was still sleeping, the car I'm using was entered. Matsuda jinpei open the driver seat where I was, then throw me on the passenger seat beside it.

"Ite! "

I hit my head then wake up. Matsuda jinpei sit on the driver seat, he throws his bag at me then put on sit belt, turn on the car. In that gap of time Miwako Sato sit in the back. he then immediately drive out ignoring the others who came with him.

"Gomenne, yoshio-kun. Demo it's emergency. Soreni it's your fault for sleeping on duty. " Sato says with a stern expression, she then glare at Matsuda jinpei, demanding answer from him.

I rub my head as I turn on the police only radio. " Sato San, this car is a patrol car. You could just use your car for emergency. " I grumble.

Mitsuda jinpei start to laugh, " I noticed you have been sleeping since this morning. So I didn't bother bringing a car key when I come down, expecting you still sleeping."

I clicked my tongue, " what would you do if were not here. "

"Sato is right behind me, so we could just get on her car. "Matsuda jinpei answer, "a bomb is planted in a ferris-wheel, so we are going there. "

It dawned on me, what was supposed to happen today.

"Anyway kid, aren't you still a student? How come you already working? As police at that." Matsuda jinpei ask.

I smugly said, "I'm a tensai dakara." Sato was about to say her praise when Matsuda jinpei pour cold water to me, "liar. If you were a genius, your rank wouldn't be just a police officer, but at least police sergeant. "

I clicked my tongue again. My face turn red with Shame. Matsuda jinpei smirk and drive even faster.

....

We arrived at the amusement park. We immediately run to the ferris-wheel. The other police are on the way. Sato run to the control panel to stop the ferris wheel. While me and Matsuda jinpei jump on the ferris wheel.

On the way I saw Yota niisan, he also find me running to the ferris-wheel. He frown, he takes of his apron and see what's going on.

I sit with my feet dangling outside the door so matsumada doesn't close the door. Making Yota niisan eye twitch when he saw me act like a child. Matsumada open his mouth to tell me to get off. But at that moment he heard Sato call him.

Sato run to them after finding out the control panel exploded.

Matsuda smile at her and take off his glasses, " don't worry. leave it to the pro. "

Matsuda sees me swinging my dangling leg, he sigh, 'oh well, I'll protect this kid anyway.' he turns around and start dismantling the vent under the seat. He saw the bomb and begin to work.

The culprit the press a button, making the control panel thus the ferris-wheel stop moving. Leaving the cart that yoshio and Matsuda in, on the top of the ferris-wheel.

Ninzaburo shiratori, a police inspector Look up at the ferris-wheel. "it stopped! "

Juzo megure, also a police inspector told the staff to get a fire extinguisher to stop the fire in the control panel.

Sato call Matsuda, " Hello, Matsuda? Matsuda? Are you okay? "

Matsuda answer to the phone while checking the bomb. "yeah.... But that jerk rigged up a pretty nasty bomb. "

Sato : "what? "

Matsuda look at the mercury tilt switch inside the bomb, "it's got a mercury tilt switch. Even the slightest vibration will make the mercury bead start rolling. Once the bead touches the wire, I'm history. If you don't want bits and pieces of me rainin' down on you, don't start the ferris wheel until I've disabled this bomb! "

Sato look at her wacth, "but you've got less than five minutes until it explodes! "

Matsuda then look at the lcd monitor of the bomb, "ha! I can take a toy like this apart in three! " he then look shocked.
