The rain in Shinjuku tonight was especially heavy.
It was as if buckets were pouring down from the night sky.
After a brief deployment meeting, Kamiya arrived at his post for this operation.
His duty was to control the road traffic to prevent suspicious individuals from entering or leaving, and there were also several officers from the Metropolitan Police Department nearby with walkie-talkies to coordinate.
In short, it was a slacking off, and not so important, operational post.
Tonight, Kamiyagawa's young exorcist partner was named Kanazawa Seira.
Of Buddhist origin.
But he was the kind of monk who didn't have to shave his head, could get married, and even occasionally held an electronic music ceremony—a direct disciple of such a high monk.
This type of unconventional monk is quite common in Japan.
At a street corner in Kabukicho.
Kamiya and Kanazawa stood together under the eaves of a closed Fuzoku shop.
