The next morning they reviewed the plan and Jaehwang found new information. It wasn't just something new. What many monster scholars said was right. Even the monsters had to avoid the black liquid because it was so dangerous. Although just ten meters away from it was the monsters territory.
"From now on we'll call it the kryp."
"Alright."
They decided to call the black liquid the 'Kryp'.
"We're finally able to find the results they were looking for on the monster. It looks like we'll be able to use the Kryp as a type of defensive substance."
"How are we going to do that?"
One of the team manager helpers asked.
"First we're going to have to do more research over there. All I can really say now is that maybe we can find something that'll piece everything together."
"We haven't found anything like that yet?"
"Well we can't postpone the raid until the analysis is finished."
The team manager replied and the assistant shrugged his shoulder. Usually when hunters went to hunt monsters there was no turning back, no matter how dangerous it may seem. Without the analysis system they couldn't reserve any strength prior to the hunt which could turn into a very dangerous situation.
Of course it wasn't expected to be difficult for Jaehwang no matter what but they were still going through all of the precautions just to be sure.
"Also, the schedule for the airplane to be in the sky in Tokyo is at 12AM this friday."
The raid management team leader said.
"What?!"
Everyone then said looking at him in surprise.
"Are you serious? I thought it was supposed to be in a small town in Seoul at that time?"
The airplane was taking them to their raid destination but was originally scheduled to land at a later time. Of course they could just take a car but that would take too much time as the roads were filled with refugees trying to escape.
There was only one problem with that approach. Who was going to their supporting air force? Who was their emergency airplane? That was one of the most difficult points in the plan.
"I think there's a new secret design."
"There is. It seem that it will affect our plane landing."
"Isn't it kind of late to do something like this."
Rumi asked.
"Exactly! They must have been promised something or is trying to ruin our raid. I'm not sure why but of course this has to have some benefit for them."
"The media was a bit unapproving of the raid..."
The team management leader said in an angry tone.
"I thought the information on our side was a bit biased?"
Jaehwang asked to Rumi confused as to why Japan would want to ruin their raid.
"Not really. Just like now its something that is considered to be very dangerous so they can't really let the raid progress."
If what she was saying was right then the contract was a lie.
"Well then when will the group attack?"
"I'm not even sure if they're still going to do that. Besides, even if they were to gather everyone over there than they would need a lot of people if they want to be stronger than Jaehwang."
Rumi said.
"So are they just going to leave the Tokyo refugees like that with no help?"
Jaehwang said.
"It seems so. But other than that, Japan seems to be having good luck."
Rumi answered calmly.
Jaehwang then tied his arms and started to think.
The monster that they were going to hunt was very strong and the Kryp was still affecting the area so he could understand the worry. But, on the other hand, he couldn't understand it and wondered why would they just leave those people like that.
Japan had a popularity of hundreds and thousands. If the refugees weren't able to get a shelter or anything then they could be in danger of the monster. They weren't even armed or had anything to protect themselves.
The monster research team member mumbled to himself.
"What's the matter?"
"I heard about the Japanese scholars but things are a little different when you put it with the information from the Japanese government..."
A moment later after he said that Jaehwang's expression turned slightly more serious. He then looked around at everyone and said,
"Are you serious?"
"Well, I'm not completely sure if my investigation is correct. Of course there could be more to it but we don't have all of the information. But, I think I'm at least 90 percent correct.
He replied. If what he was saying was right then they wouldn't be able to do as they planned.
"Gather around. It's time to get into the plan."
Jaehwang said.

They were scheduled to arrive on the Japanese government side at 12 midnight. It shouldn't take long to find what they were looking for. They'll be unaffected by everything if they do it their way.
"Hello. I am Matsuki Heisuke, a representative of the Japan Ministry of Economy and finance."
He said politely introducing himself to them. He seemed like a really nice person by the first impression.
However, he also looked a bit strange. He looked like a frozen flower.
CLearly he was there to meet the powerful hunter he's heard so much about named Jaewhang.
"Nice to meet you."
"My name is Rumi, I am apart of Jaehwang's clan team."
"Take a seat."
He said guiding her to a seat. He then handed her a refreshment of tea and they began the meeting.
"What kind of work have you come here for?"
"The government has given an important airspace command so I am here to make sure everything will go smoothly."
"Is there anything you could tell me?"
He asked. Rumi just took a sip of her tea and looked at him coldly.
"Sorry. Even though this is very embarrassing we're going to sort out the situation with the gate as soon as we can. I wanted to come here and apologize to you about this in person. Even though it's kind of late. I hope everything with this task will go well in the future."
He said. Every word he said seemed to be planned and timed...
Rumi just smiled and replied,
"Alright."
However, she wasn't done there.
"I feel like I know the Japanese government's meaning of this but..."
She then got up from her seat as if she was about to leave.
The representative then quickly replied saying,
"I will give a proposal to the Japanese Government about this mission."
He said but Rumi didn't look too happy.
"Can they just give up a loan for it?"
She asked.
"I could ask them about that, it should be fine."
"I don't know, that leader is too full of himself and what he says. But, he does have an excessive sense of identity, Right... ?"
Rumi said.
The representative thought about what he would have to do to start the conversation and what he would have to say to make him agree. But, of course, he couldn't think of anything to say.
"I'll do the best I can to get his approval."
He said.
Rumi then sat back down into her seat.
"I'm listening. But I will not be giving out any secret information from my side."
The representative then replied,
"Understood. I will only be telling information regarding the gate in Japan and the raid to fix it."
He said and Rumi nodded her head in agreement.
Al though he knew there were lots of monsters inside of the gate, it was more important that they took care of the Kryp before anything else.
"It shouldn't be hard to convince them. They'll only need one month. We won't have to stay here. Of course the media won't understand what's going on and may make false reports but in a month everything will make sense to everyone. I can get you a loan from the government to prepare."
He assured. He offered a pretty high loan that was perfect for them.
Jaehwang also needed an apartment. A place he could live where he could still easily access a wormhole and go to fight off monsters.
An apartment like that would be sold at a premium price so that would also be enough to afford the apartment.
The representative then took out a document and handed it to Rumi.
"Currently, the Japanese government has faced a dead end. After trying to fix the situation with this monster and the gate the restoration expenses have gone through the roof and it'll be hard to pay for the repairs."
"I understand. The costs for the damage and the insurance for the people must be very expensive."
Rumi replied.
"Yes. things have especially been going downhill since the Japanese clan has ended. And to make matters even worse, the gate incident happened in the same area as the Japanese clan's clan house..."
The representative complained.
The Japanese government have been doing their best to sort everything out but there were too many problems to handle at once.
"I understand it must be difficult. There's just one thing I want to ask you... After the incident the people of Tokyo lost their job and their house so will they get the support that they need for now? Or will they be used a sacrifices?"
"Of course..."
"This is a serious situation, not a game."
Rumi said as if she was warning him.
The representative took a moment to think before responding.
'Could she have any better ideas. '
He thought to himself. There was no better option to go with to help them and everyone else. They didn't want to make any empty promises.
"The compensation will be enough."
The representative said. Of course that decision wasn't his to make but Rumi agreed. She then took a deep breath and said,
"I'm sorry."
"Why?"
The representative asked in reply.
"We're getting prepared for the evacuation."
"Huh?!"
He replied as he had completely forgotten about that.
"What are you talking about?!"
"I could have a meeting tomorrow with my team and go over this. I want to let Jaehwang know what's going on..."
"What will you do about Tokyo?..."
The representative asked.
"Huh? Why do you ask?"
Rumi asked calmly.
"I'll talk to the head of the Japanese government and see if there's anything else we can do."
"So you're going to tell him all of Jaehwang's suggestions? Or are you just trying to use Jaehwang's name to cut down the compensation?"
Rumi asked.
Japan's Secret Design, The end.
