SCHOOL IN THE CITY IS DEAD
SCHOOL IN THE CITY DEAD 23
Today Nakamura felt dizzy about his work which he said was getting heavier and heavier. His mind is on fire, trying to plan the next steps in his job as a supernatural detective. His father, Taro Rihito, has bequeathed this responsibility to him since his death, and Nakamura feels burdened with the hopes and reputation associated with his surname. In addition to taking care of the Yokai Alliance that threatened Tokyo, it must fulfill the promise made earlier. As such, before he enters into a contract with Yokai Amata, Amata sides with YHA and Nakamura will figure out how to break the yokai curse and restore Amata to human form.
"Fumika, I really feel giddy with all these tasks. The Yokai Alliance increasingly dared to threaten Tokyo, and at the same time, I still had to find a way to return Amata to being human." he lamented Nakamura while holding his head with both hands.
"I understand, Nakamura Rihito - san. But how else? The situation is getting more complicated. But we can't give up. Your father would be proud to see us keeping YHA's reputation well" Fumika said
"Yes, you're right. My father always fought against supernatural beings and protected this city. I have to continue the fight. But how can we face the Yokai Alliance while simultaneously seeking a solution to Amata's curse?" Nakamura looked so exhausted and desperate
"We must divide our time and efforts wisely. First, we should focus on handling the Yokai Alliance. I've gathered some information about their activities. We can start by tracking their base and identifying key members. I also continue to coordinate the Security Division to ensure Tokyo remains safe from their attacks. We have to keep it from getting any further damage." Fumika sat in front of Nakamura
"Thank you so much Fumika, I'm counting on you in that. I have also conducted surveys and collected information about them. I will coordinate with the field team to intensify the investigation and gather more evidence" Nakamura said
When the two of them were talking all of a sudden they heard the voice of a YHA member from outside the room who called out to Nakamura while knocking on the door of her study room "Nakamura - san,"
"Come in" said Nakamura
It turned out to be a yokai named Inaba. He recently worked for Nakamura. "Nakamura - san, I just got the news that Amata - the same has managed to invite yokai like Akuryo named Hakata to join YHA. According to the information I received from Aika just now, Hakata had already summoned a tengu who had ties to Amata - the same. It seems like the tengu are willing to help us." explained Inaba
"How is Nakamura - san? Please tell me what to do next?" ask Fumika
"Inaba, do you know who is the leader of SWEET? Makai no Ishi - dan?" nakamura asked Inaba
"Yes, Akira" Inaba replied
"And the leader of the YC (Yokai Council)?" ask Fumika
"He's a human being, I've investigated him myself, I'll explain it to you later" Nakamura said, looking at Inaba "Please tell me everything you know about Akira" he told Inaba with curiosity
Inaba nodded while looking at Nakamura seriously. "Akira was one of the subordinates of our main leader, the yokai named Erika Futaba - the same. Akira is one of the strongest. He is a yokai who earned the nickname left no shuten - doji (the misty demon king). Akira also has some of the strongest subordinates other than Zeniko, they are Michio, Runa, Akako" Inaba explained
"As such, regarding the Yokai Council itself I found that the organization was led by a human named Saki Subaki" Nakamura told Inaba and Fumika
Fumika, shocked to hear "Saki Tsubaki? He's one of the youngest scientists to work in a Tokyo hospital laboratory right?!"
Nakamura replied "True, he is Dr. junior. Kaito, he has a rare ability to communicate with yokai. He has a great and powerful influence in the organization YC (Yokai Council)"
Inaba scrunched her forehead. "A human with such influence in the yokai world? It's getting interesting. But why did he ally with the yokai and form the Yokai Alliance?"
"I think Saki Tsubaki has been taken over by other yokai" Nakamura said
"You mean, Saki Tsubaki in rasuki?" ask Inaba
Nakamura nodded seriously. "Yes, according to the information I got, Saki Tsubaki has been possessed by a powerful yokai who wants to control human and yokai activities. His Rasukian made him transform into a very different figure and encouraged him to form the Yokai Alliance with goals that were not in line with his original vision."
Fumika clenched her hands. "So, so is the reason why Saki Tsubaki turned into one of the leaders of the Yokai Alliance. The creature that possessed him had clearly affected his thoughts and actions."
Nakamura continued, "Our task is not only to face the Yokai Alliance and Akira, but also to find a way to save Saki Tsubaki from the influence of the yokai who possessed her. We must break the curse that controls him and bring back the goodness and wisdom within him."
Inaba agreed. "Restoring Saki Tsubaki to her original state would be an important step to break the power of the Yokai Alliance. Maybe we can seek help from Amata - the same, who has promised to help us find a way to break the yokai curse."

The next day, at school, Rin tries not to repeat the mistake she made before: sleeping in class while learning is going on. Then in the break he chatted with Aika and also Keyaru in class while enjoying their lunch.
"The total number of raven tengu descendants of Amata's father and mother is 100 tengu. Pretty much yes" Aika told Rin and Keyaru
"Yes, their reaction was amazing when they knew they could go back to being human" Keyaru said
"What a marvelous how?" Rin seems to have not understood it because he had gone home earlier
Keyaru replied "They look happy, impatient and excited. They're good yokai, fun, fun to joke with"
"Thank God, it's so good to hear it" Rin
"Oh yes, I heard that he said Amata - want to go to school in this place?" ask Aika
"Seriously?!" Keyaru looked even more annoyed
"Yes, he wanted to disguise himself as a human like what I had done" Aika said
"He can't go to school here!" rin said, annoyed
"Eh? Why?" aika asked frowned. "Why can't Amata-sama go to school here? Is he too handsome and afraid of making all the girls in this school fall in love with him?"
Rin and Keyaru looked at each other, then laughed out loud. Rin touched Aika's arm gently, trying to hold back her laughter. "Oh, Aika. Amata-sama is indeed handsome, but that is not the reason."
Keyaru added while still laughing, "Yes, it's not a matter of the girls falling in love with her. The problem is, if Amata-sama is here, then the one who is a Japanese teacher can be a ghost, the one who is a math teacher can be a tengu, and the one who is the principal can be a big yokai!"
They both laughed, imagining the chaos that could happen if Amata-sama went to school at their place. Their laughter filled the classroom, creating a carefree atmosphere.
"Can you imagine Amata-sama turning into a ghost during the presentation in front of the class?" rin asked Keyaru while holding back his laughter.
"Www! The students will definitely scream and run away!" Keyaru held onto his stomach which was painful from laughing too hard.
"Yes, he is also very careless and sometimes forgetful. I also can't imagine if he forgot his role and his true form came out all of a sudden" Rin said
"I'm serious." said Aika.
Rin and Keyaru stopped laughing and looked at Aika seriously.
"Aika, I'm sorry, we didn't mean to ignore your feelings" Rin said worriedly. "You know that this school is filled with supernatural beings, right? Ghosts, yokai, and all sorts of other strange things? I was worried that the presence of Amata-sama would further attract the attention of these creatures. They can be tempted or even threaten him" Rin told Aika
"Rin. Amata - the same is a strong yokai, so far no yokai dare to him" said Aika
