Finally arrived at the Kyoto Continental Hotel.
It takes only 10 minutes to arrive, but it felt like it took almost an hour.
This is because, wherever we go, we have received a lot of attention from people.
“Let’s park here and walk.”
The vice-chairman slid into the Civic Park across from the hotel and turned the steering wheel in front of the bicycle storage.
Rumble!
After tying the bike tightly with a lock, the vice president organizes his clothes.

My clothes got messed up by pedaling my bike, so I organized my clothes the same way.
Finally, when the tie was restored to its original state, the vice president said with a determined expression.
“Shall we go?”
“yes.”
We got out of the park and headed for the crosswalk right in front of us.
“By the way, what’s the vice president’s plan? By the time the two chaebol families are engaged, there must be a lot of escort troops there.”
“I thought it would, so I planned an intrusion route in advance.”
“An intrusion route?”
“The place where the young lady’s engagement ceremony is held this time is the grand banquet hall on the 20th floor of the hotel.”
The vice president said so, took out his smartphone and showed a map of the interior of the hotel.
“Once I said I can go through the entrance because I have an invitation, only relatives of the two families can enter the engagement hall. You, an outsider, cannot enter.”
“Then what do we do?”
“Once you get on the guest elevator and go to the 21st floor. There is an elevator that is used only by hotel staff. If you take it, you can enter the staff room at the back of the large banquet hall. You wait in the staff room and when I give a signal, you enter the banquet hall. So, secure the lady’s safety.”
I calmly nodded my head to the strategy he was telling me, and then something suddenly came to my mind.
“By the way, is it okay to go inside as it is? I think my identity will be revealed soon.”
“So, there are things prepared in advance.”
“Are you there again?”
The vice president opened the briefcase he had shown earlier.
It was originally a case containing a watch, a ring, and sunglasses.
Click!
But when I lifted it up, a black cloth costume appeared.
It appears to have been a double structure floor.
“The ninjas’ hidden clothes and masks. This is enough to hide your identity, Kim Yoo-seong.”
“……”
This time I thought I was going to give you something really cutting edge, but you came all the way here and you’re a ninja again.
“Take it.”
I can’t take it without giving it, so I held the briefcase he was handed to me in my right hand.
When I asked what it was made of because it was heavier than I thought, it seems that this is also a bag made of bulletproof material.
After the sword suit, I guess he got some useful armor.
“let’s go.”
At the same time, the traffic light at the crosswalk changed to blue, and we headed for the decisive battle after all preparations were made.

The Kyoto Continental Hotel, living up to its five-star name, looked bigger as it got closer.
“How many floors is this building?”
“It is 30 stories tall. Originally, it was intended to be built higher, but the construction was rejected because it disturbed the cityscape. And the completion of this hotel is Fujiwara Heavy Industries & Construction.”
The cylindrical building soared high in the sky without realizing it.
In terms of height, it is almost equivalent to Kyoto Tower.
“This is it.”
The vice president told me how many times he had visited and the way to go.
The hotel parking lot you see on the way is already full.
All kinds of supercars and luxury vehicles that were only seen in video media were lined up.
‘Even if I break that one wrongly, I’ll work like a slave for the rest of my life.’
Thinking like that, I headed towards the entrance of the hotel with the front desk on the first floor.
“Where are you from?”
“I’m from the Saionji family.”
The vice president shows something while answering the question of the security guard guarding the entrance.
The security guard then said, “Excuse me,” and cleared the way.
I quietly stood behind the vice president with my mouth shut and followed him.
After walking for a while, the vice president said.
“You can tell me now.”
“Fuha-“
I took a deep breath and asked the vice president.
“What did you just show me?”
“It’s our family’s employee ID. I have yours, so take it.”
With that said, the vice president took out a plastic card from his pocket and handed it to me.
It had a string so it could be hung around the neck like a necklace.
“It looks just like a driver’s license.”
The ID photo, name, and affiliation were engraved on the inside of the card.
“I got a temporary issue with my authority, so I can’t make two. So be careful not to lose it.”
“yes.”
I hung the employee ID around my neck and looked around.
“But won’t the security guards suspect me? To be honest, it’s my first time doing something like this, so I’m nervous.”
Then the vice president looked at me as if he had heard something ridiculous.
“You just have to act like you normally do. If you close your sassy mouth, no one will suspect you.”
Do you think the suit suits you that well?
I nodded moderately to the vice president’s praise, and decided to put a lock on my mouth today.
As we passed the front desk on the first floor and headed for the elevator, the front was crowded with people waiting for their turn.
Naturally, line up behind a long procession.
If you look around too much, you might look suspiciously, so it was time to wait for the next turn while looking forward as much as possible.
“Kim-kun!”
“uh?”
I heard a voice I didn’t expect at all, so I made a stupid voice without realizing it.
When I turned my head, Hattori, a person who shouldn’t be here, was standing in front of me.
“Hattori, how are you here?”
Then Hattori, dressed in a black party dress, turned her back and said.
“My dad is the chief security officer for today’s event.”
“Dad?”
As I mumbled my doubts without realizing it, the vice president next to me asked with a surprised expression.
“Wait, you’re Hattori?”
“Why all of a sudden? Vice-President.”
“You idiot! That Hattori! It’s the surname of Hattori Hanzo, one of the first people that comes to mind when you think of ninjas!”
Hearing those words, I looked at Hattori in front of me.
She said with a slight smile on her lips.
“That person is right. My father is the 13th Hattori Hanzo. At first, I transferred to Ichijo Academy in Tokyo after receiving a surveillance mission. In order to monitor Kim Yoo-sung.”
“What?”
I’m 18-year-old Fuuma Kotaro?
There seemed to be some strange misunderstanding, but there was no time to explain.
That wasn’t the case either.
“Honestly, I never thought that you would be involved in such a daring project. I probably wouldn’t be here if I hadn’t overheard your conversation with the Vice-President.”
“…eavesdropping?”
“Oh, you still haven’t noticed? I put a wiretap on when I bumped into you last night.”
It was then that I realized that it was no coincidence that I ran into Hattori in the hallway.
Indeed, everything was planned.
“Checkmate. Kim-kun. Please be quiet.”
As Hattori said so and snapped her fingers, security guards in black suits appeared from all directions.
They both appear to be very strong.
I asked the vice president next to me.
“Now what?”
Then the vice president took a deep breath and said:
“Whatever, it’s just a head-on breakthrough now.”
“…and that’s all there is, isn’t it?”
We untie our tie at the same time.
“Attack it!”

“It’s me.”
[Chief, this is a code beta. I’m trying to lower the bulkhead inside the hotel to repel intruders, so please allow it.]
“Code beta? How many intruders?”
[Only two.]
“two people?”
[They are men in suits, and according to Mrs. Ayame’s testimony, one is a high school student who recently received the vision of the Fuuma clan, and the other is a close aide to Saionji Kumiko.]
“…Okay. But I can’t allow the bulkhead to come down. I can’t show my ugly face in front of my dear guests.”
[However, about 20% of the security team has already been destroyed. You can’t stop those two with just a bunch of gossip!]
“Then I myself…”
“No, I’ll go.”
Hattori Hanzo looked at Koga Izumo, who suddenly interrupted the conversation with his subordinate.
“you?”
“One of the two people I just spoke of is my disciple. As a teacher, I need to guide my disciple on the right path.”
“…do it yourself.”
When the permission of Hanzo Hattori, the head of the security department, was granted, Izumo Koga said, “Thank you,” and got up from the sofa he was sitting on.
“I’ll bring you good news.”
“If it doesn’t harm the master’s engagement ceremony, that’s enough.”
In the past, including Kotaro Fuuma, the two people who were called the “Samjeol” in the afterlife looked into each other’s eyes for a moment and then parted.
Hattori Hanzo spoke to his subordinate over the receiver.
“Izumo’s nose went down due to reinforcements. It will arrive soon, so hold on for a while.”
[yes!]
Hattori Hanzo put down the phone he was holding in his hand and muttered while looking down at the scenery outside the window.
“It’s been 10 years since you disappeared, how long are you going to disturb me. Kotaro Fuma.”

“It’s over there! I just went over there!”
Doo doo doo doo!
As I heard the security guards rumble behind the desk where we were hiding, I asked the Vice President.
“How many more floors do we have to go up?”
Then, the vice president, whose breath was up to the tip of his chin, took a deep breath and looked at the phone screen and answered.
“Nine floors ahead.”
“Now it’s half way up.”
“Now there is only half of it left.”
“I’m sorry, but even if I say something positive like that, I can’t really empathize with the current situation.”
Contrary to the vice president’s original plan, the identity was discovered right away on the first floor, so we had no choice but to fight the security guards.
No matter how strong I am at the level of cheating, there is no business in the face of a mass offensive.
I couldn’t even commit a genocide, so it was more difficult to control my strength in moderation.
After gnawing at our stamina little by little, we were in a corner.
‘The ghost hwan given by Fuuma-senpai is still there.’
This is literally a trump card.
Finally, a means to the end.
It has to be used with caution, as the effective time of the drug is only 5 minutes.
Eventually, the vice president opened his mouth after silence.
“I’m sorry. My judgment is wrong. I thought that the force part would be solved if you were alone, but I didn’t think that there would be this many people as security guards.”
“Rather, I’m sorry. I didn’t even know you were being eavesdropped.”
“No, even if the original plan had succeeded, if there were such a large number of troops waiting inside, we would not have been able to get out.
“Don’t blame yourself too much. There’s no way you’ll be able to save someone like that all of a sudden…”
At that moment, I remembered someone.
“Wait a minute, a minute.”
He hurriedly took out his cell phone and looked through the phone book.
And called.
Click!
[hello?]
“Where are you now?”
[me? I’m on a date with Maya right now.]
I closed my eyes tightly and asked.
“Ryuji, I’m sorry, but please help me.”
