"Dear Great Peak...... Are you sure? Don Du, leave it to you. He said the water stop, called the Dead Bird, was suffering from an ancient wound and he couldn't give it the same power as before, but his opponent is that Dead Bird. Besides, Don Du, I don't know where your information came from... a little bit about its reliability. Friend? What kind of person..."

Shima explored its sincerity in the car to Hisae.

Right now, Hisae and Shima have already left the institute behind. Hisae agreed to the earlier suggestion from Yuto in the form of leaving the first hand to the final decision.

And Hisae did not even dig deeply into the source of the information that the blessed man had said.

"It's okay. Either way, some kind of investigation or exploration was needed before we could move as far as we could. Besides... I thought this would be a good opportunity to find out about a boy named Don Du Yu Man. I'm still skeptical, but also to test the hypothesis from Mr. Bartolo."

Hisae laughed nicely and shifted her gaze to Shima.

"And it's about the dead birds, but if it's real, I think it's more likely what you're talking about, Don Du. If a dead bird has the same strength it had before it disappeared, then that's almost certainly why Myung Liang and you are all gone. A dozen years ago, when [Heavenly Clothes Seamless] Wang Junhao was still in Rank AA... when he heard the information that he had defeated the Dead Bird, who had defeated the head of the Huang family at the time, he was surprised to find himself in the Chinese branch. They let the dead bird get away with it, but the dead bird was seriously injured. If you think about it, it's an old wound. If it's fake, it's the original strength, that's what it is."

"... I see that's what happened"

"Besides... it sure seems like a lot of things. That boy."

"Did you feel something?

"Look, it's just... I don't know what else to say... but this is a strange feeling to his story. Don Du, there's something to make you think you can trust your story. It's like I've known him for a long time, like a sense of ready-to-see."

"... it"

It is rare for Hisae to say this. Shima makes a serious look, as Hisae said. I can't deny that Hisae is obnoxious, but he was also a prudent and vigilant person when looking at people. It is Hisae branch, which has risen to the position of branch manager of the institution. It's no surprise that Sae said she can trust you that day for no reason.

That and the other thing, Hisae is very well researched. This can be said to the capable people in general, but Shima thought Hisae's was out of the group among them. Thanks to this acumen, he said that some aspects showed the qualities to fully carry out the duties of the Japan Branch Manager.

And Shima thinks it may be specific to spiritual users. Because sometimes the same could be said of Zhuyin, who is said to be a witch of the Spirit.

"And there's some interesting information coming in. And from the unexpected."

"What's that?

"Nearly twenty children were brought near the Chinese embassy. He looked like a traveler, but his guardian is definitely a Chinese operative."

"... No way, hostages are!

"I don't know yet. It just seems worth looking into, doesn't it? It's odd that you're making such an unintelligible move at this time. Or one is unexpected..."

……

"Information from Mr. Zhu Yan showed us the hotel used by this raider. Looks like you're still there."

"From Master Zhu Yan!? Why, Master Zhuyin? No, considering Miho is in motion, it's not surprising that the Shitenji family helps with it."

"You're not such a sweet person, Mr. Zhuyin. No matter how much Miho says she's her only daughter, she's not the one who moves up to the Shitenji family or their division. That's why I was surprised."

Shima makes a strange face even as she is surprised.

"This is... what is it? It feels like things are getting bigger and bigger before this one gives instructions. No, this is a pretty big deal. But before we, the agency, deal with it, it's moving around first."

Hisae nodded small at the words of Shima.

"And at its center, depending on what you see, is that Don Du. Zhu Yan said this. Say hello to Don Du. It's unusual for him to care so much about others. A spiritual witch, who is also an advisor to the institution, responds to one boy like this..."

……

"You can leave Mr. Bartolo alone... I'm starting to get intrigued too. To that boy named Don Du Yu Man...... Shima, please trace that girl. Move him in the form of a follow-up. So if you find anything, you should report it."

"Yes, I understand."

With that said, there is no cloudiness in Hisae's expression. That's probably what Hisae's investigation is saying.

That the boy is going to make a difference in all the current situations, including what he can see and what he can't see among them.

Now Miho looked down at Yuto and uttered his words.

"You got something to say?

"... None"

Now Yuto was on the couch in the reception room where Hisae and the others left... sitting in the front seat.

And in front of it stood an arm, a royal Miho and a constantly smiling Marion under this circumstance.

Behind it, Akera laughs bitterly and sips coffee.

"Are you really an idiot!? Even though we tried so hard to keep things from you, we perched ourselves up!

"No, the pressure between the two..."

"Yuto?

"Ahhh!"

Marion put her face closer to Yuto with a smile on her middle waist. Though the blue eyes may not be lit.

"What's wrong with Yuto is clear this time"

"Huh?"

Yuto looked up and stared at Miho and Marion.

"Yuto has somewhere to be alone in everything."

"Exactly! It really comes to mind, that's what I'm talking about!

"Yuto is too attentive around. As soon as I feel a little annoyed or possibly worried, I try to clean it up myself in secret."

"Oh, so, but this time... ho-ha!

To the cold gaze of Miho and Marion, Yuto, whose only back is going to jump up and run away.

"Blessings! You should fix something like that. Not to mention, this time everyone here can say they're a party? I know there are things I can't tell you because it's about you, but stop being such a roundabout like this."

"Miho is right about this. Besides... Me and Mizuho aren't as naughty as Yuto thinks. Yuto somehow figured out how I look, but we're still capable of Rank A. As much as I am, I intend to protect myself!

……

Yuto found that Miho and Marion were quite, seriously angry, stiffening his face.

Actually, to be precise, there is no anger at the nature of this emotion between the two of us.

Miho and Marion have something to think about. I don't know everything, but I know that the circumstances in which Yuto is placed must be special. So the lack of consultation with ourselves is not the problem.

What Miho and Marion are most responsive to is that Yuto puts himself on the line when he comes before danger. As a result, I run alone.

I'm not convinced by this.

Until now, fine. A lot of things happened to Yuto. And I don't even think I should expose everything right now. But it's not.

I can't put it into words. In fact, even the two girls have not been able to make their current senses a firm word.

But Miho and Marion think.

It is only when you think Yuto is in danger that you want yourself to be by your side.

Miho and Marion are just driven by those impulses, but when this comes out on the table, it takes its usual form: preaching.

"... yeah, sorry. From now on, I'll try to tell you anything I can."

"Not there!

"No!

"Hih! Hih, that's Himi, huh?

A teary-eyed eunuch who is picked one cheek at a time by Miho and Marion.

"Well, Miho, Marion and Don Du seem to be reflecting, too, and why don't you forgive me around there?

"Myung Liang, it's not enough yet! This guy has to do this or we'll find out!

In a bitter laugh, Akira turned into a serious face covering Yuto, and spoke to Yuto, whose face was spreading beside him.

"Don Du, I was just given some information, but I was wondering if you could tell me more. I want to know what's going on even if I set up an operation. Especially with regard to the hostages of the water stop in question for the moment."

"Huh? Ming Liang too..."

"Of course, I'm going to help."

Yumen moaned his stretched cheeks... and nodded for a while.

"Yes, this information first…"

In its content, spoken of by the Blessed Man… Myeong Liang does not hide his surprises, but widens his eyes.

"Keh, are you even out of contract... Don Du are you"

Miho sighed loudly at its dazzling Mingliang,

"When you talk to Yuto, you should abandon your common sense once and for all, Akira."

I naturally didn't give Gaston's name, but I had a colleague who was good at investigating, infiltrating, and I prefaced that it was the subject of his investigation, and Yuto explained the background of the water stop.
