Interlude: Kazuma's Agility Training Second Part

Saturday. Early morning in Shibuya Crossing.

Since it was the weekend, the roads saw a good amount of traffic from various people crossing through the streets to people walking by to reach their destinations and tourists who wanted to check out the Hachiko Statue nearby.

Among them is Kazuma who is wearing his white techwear parka with its hoodie down. He also put on a face mask as well to ensure that once he commences the operation, he can hide his face and no one will know about him. Despite being in spring, the weather is still very cold especially early in the morning which is why there are still people wearing jackets and parkas like him which is why he is not standing out even when wearing one.

"Ugh...why did I even accept that request?"

Kazuma scratches his head. After accepting the quest that Moonlight handed to him, he began to check on the news and the internet about this rumored Turbo Granny.

The moment he put Turbo Granny and Shibuya on his search bar, news articles, and videos appeared on his search query immediately. Most of them are the latest news which means that this is a common story now.

----

"Speedster disturbing the peace of Shibuya Crossing; Two injured."

"Local Authorities are having a hard time catching the speedster. Special Forces now on the case!"

"Beware of the Speedster! The Local Troublemaker terrorizes the streets of Tokyo!"

---

Browsing through the local news, it seems this one is not the first time it has attacked. Kazuma wondered why the Turbo Granny was not immediately dealt with despite being a troublesome Qlipoth. Perhaps because it hasn't killed anyone just yet? Or because it was a Lilith level and it was not worth giving time to deal with?

As much as Kazuma wanted to understand why, it seems that this one is not much of a problem and even Moonlight suggested it to him, which means this isn't going to be too much of a big problem shouldn't it?

"Alright. First, I need to gather intel. The intel given through the news should be enough but I needed to know the route of the Turbo Granny first. For a speedster to run, they will need a route to follow."

Kazuma first went to the Shibuya Crossing as the origin of the story always comes from Shibuya Crossing. When he arrived, the crowd was still present but it seemed that police had already been deployed to deal with the speedster. They even have some traps that should be capable of dealing with speeding cars like road spikes...but does that even work for a monster?

He then spends a few minutes asking around the Speedster and taking notes about its appearance.

According to the news, the speedster always comes during noontime and at midnight around Shibuya Crossing. Then it will pass through Dougen-Zaka and then head through the narrow streets where the chaos ensues and many storefronts get scrambled with trash and their products mixed in due to the passing Turbo Granny. Passing through various obstacles, it will then arrive at the Hachiko Statue and once again pass through there to reach the Shibuya Scramble Crossing.

Then, after it made one loop from the Shibuya Crossing...it will wreak havoc over to Akihabara, and its current major place to cause trouble is over at the Radio Kaikan Area and Electric Town where people are very much crowding over. Compared to Shibuya Crossing, the Turbo Granny does not loop around. It instead goes back and forth over there, causing trouble all over, making the situation dangerous.

"I see now." Kazuma nodded after gathering the intel.

As he was just finishing his intel gathering, the people started screaming over at the Shibuya Scramble, and the police who were just idle earlier started to move and ready the Road spikes.

"HEHEHEHE!" A maniacal laugh can be heard as a very fast zooming thing passes through the blockade that the police made using their barricades, cars, and even the Road Spikes but all of those are ineffective when dealing with the Turbo Granny. The speedster just bulldozed all over the place, toppling all cars in one go.

"Damn...that is not a very good sign..." Kazuma shook his head after seeing the aftermath. Multiple police officers are wounded in the process and the Road spikes that are supposed to slow down or stop the speedster entirely have been wrecked and no longer possible to be used.

Seeing this situation, he now understood as to why the Turbo Granny remained a Lilith and had not been dealt with despite being a Qlipoth. It was because no one could see the Turbo Granny clearly in the first place.

Due to its fast nature, it is just a blur even if a camera tries to capture a photo of it. However, now, this mission is going to be a capture mission. Kazuma will have to capture and deal with the Turbo Granny as soon as possible.

"Shibuya Crossing is no good. With police here and plenty of witnesses, things will get complicated here."

Since the Turbo Granny has yet to return for a loop, Kazuma left Shibuya Crossing and headed to Akihabara, the place where anime, maid culture, and other businesses that are considered to be "geek" culture are currently flourishing.

Kazuma is not much of a geek, but he does have some knowledge of some stuff like anime and games therefore, it is not a big problem for him to get there. As for his plan on how to capture the Turbo Granny, he plans to use this chance to capture the Turbo Granny in public instead of isolating the speedster from running around.

It is a risky plan, but he knows that the people there will only think that there is some event going on and will think that the magic stuff is all just special effects. And just like his luck is good today, it seems that the events seem to be in favor of him. Not only does there will be a cosplay event, but there will be some special programs there as well. It is a good way to use this event to cover and capture the Turbo Granny without causing panic and doubt to the populace about magic.

"First, let's buy some props to make this more believable."

...

...

...

The Turbo Granny has finished its rounds over Shibuya Crossing. And now that it is done over there, it is now heading to Akihabara. Kazuma who is preparing is already good to go. But this time, Kazuma bought a sword replica and put it behind his back, and with his sling bag draped over him, he looked like he was an adventurer cosplayer.

Among the countless people moving along the streets, his getup is not that surprising at all and he is even blending well with the people who are also cosplaying.

Despite that, Kazuma is nervous. After all, he will be doing something that he should not do in front of the populace.

As the festivities of the streets are starting to make the streets crowded, Kazuma soon spotted in the distance the dashing Turbo Granny. It is still as fast as ever.

Seeing it rushing over, Kazuma puts on the hood of his parka and readies his replica sword. The sword is not sharp nor it is real. It is just a blunt object that is made of plastic in the first place. But...this is enough.

"HEHEHEHE!"

Screams from people as the Turbo Granny passes erupted among the crowd as various stuff started to fly and the cosplayers are now moving to the side. Seeing it approach his location, Kazuma stepped into the streets and he soon heard multiple people shouting at him to get out of the speedster's way but he didn't listen.

Enhancing the plastic sword in his hand, Kazuma approaches the incoming speedster. Seeing as the Turbo Granny is not going to stop, it is up to Kazuma to do his thing.

"You need to stop running now, Grandma."

In one swift swing, Kazuma squarely hit the Turbo Granny in the face. At the same time, the force of the attack caused the surroundings to cause a strong wind that caused everyone to flinch and cover their faces as things started flying due to the force.

Like a car hitting a roadblock, the Turbo Granny was stopped, allowing Kazuma to take advantage of the chaos to immediately escape as he grabbed the Turbo Granny by the neck and ran away from the streets.

As soon as Kazuma reached an area where no one was present, Kazuma ignited the Turbo Granny mercilessly, eliminating the Turbo Granny before it could even do anything. Now, Kazuma knew why it was called a Lilith mission. The Turbo Granny isn't a big challenge as long as the granny herself is stopped midway.

In short, he succeeded in subduing the Turbo Granny and completed the mission.
