Chapter 4 : Spirit Defense Force 4

We get to the police station in the district.

The police station is a five story brick building, If you eliminate the fact that it is located right in a street corner and how severe its entrance looks, it is a quite an ordinary building

In front of the police station stands a man with an extremely large build, with a thick, disheveled carrot-red whiskers.

The man wears a police uniform with a band on his left arm showing his ranki insignia as an inspector.

“It seems it’s the rumored captain. How unfortunate, but today, the police station has closed. Now please go home quietly.”

The man skillfully manipulates the rope of his baton with one hand, throwing it at the air and returning it to his hand repeatedly.

“Nah.”

When I try to push aside the man to enter the entranceway of the police station, the man sends his baton towards my throat, stopping it right when it touches my skin.

Naturally, I also ready my Beretta that pull my Slide on my right hand.

“Ho ho, that’s the boasted quick draw of yours, If it were me, I’ll listen a little bit more.”

“Me drawing my gun is meant as a warning and a rejection of your request. Move away from there.”

“Ooh, scary. I say this from the kindness at the bottom of my heart. If you go in now, you won’t return home alive. Everyone here hates you, Captain-san. You’re an obstacle that they want to disappear.”

“I know I am hated. I’ve killed a lot after all. And I also know that you hate me. So this is a waste of time. Move.”

“The one that got caught as the culprit of an attempted murder? It’s the son of the chief here. The idiot named called Leonard Cole. The one that caught him was Sergeant Roger Percival, a really stubborn person. It’s nigh impossible to not make it a family matter. We don’t want some outsider to stumble in and disturb things.”

“I have my own work so don’t disturb me. And you’re just wasting your breath worrying about his life, So shut up and move.”

The man grins. He retracts the baton and lets us through.

I know who this guy is.

Inspector Andreas Atwood.

His current position is low, but inside the police he is the reformist faction’s leader. This country adopts a spoils system. And if he becomes a mayor in the election, Andreas becomes the chief of police.

By the way, in this country, we adopt the two-piece system of the interior ministry police with jurisdiction over the whole country and autonomous police with jurisdiction over the region / provinces.

The police station here corresponds to the autonomous police.

As Andreas says, this incident of attempted murder can be said to be a family trouble between the conservative and the reformist elements inside the police.

The father of the brat called Leonard Cole is the Conservative leader named Luis Cole, while Sergeant Roger Percival belongs to the reformist.

When Andreas held me with his baton, he was warning that if I interfere more than necessary, I can turn the reformers into my enemy.

But it doesn’t matter to me. Even if I have to make them my enemies, I shall do my duty that has been entrusted to me.

Conservatives are generic names for people who hate people from another world and want them to go back there.

If that is the only meaning, then the spirits and I are also conservatives.

However, the majority of conservatives want the power of the spirits to be available again to the residents of this world, excluding people from the other world. What troublesome people.

An example would be a first cla.s.s magician who doesn’t want to become a fraud. And that’s just the tip of the brush.

They can not forget the power of a spirit who once broke their strike for personal reasons.

Of course, the spirits and I are not included with those folks.

On the other hand, the reformist refers to people who want to make friends with other people on the other hand.
