When Mingliang pulled over to the large paid parking lot next to the apartment, Yuto got out of the car and looked up at the high-rise apartment in front of him. The time is already before 8pm but around that apartment it is bright with many street lights and lights and the exterior of the apartment looks good.
"Don Du, will you wait a minute? You've been contacted by the people of the Four Heavens Temple while waiting in front of the school gate. Because it looks like they're sending us the Great Peak and the Spirit of God."
"Oh, yes, thank you. Shinbae, I'm sorry, I didn't even ask you to help me so much..."
"Mingliang is fine, Don Du."
"Huh? Oh, yes, then, Mr. Akera. Well, I'm a blessed man, too."
"Okay. And what are you talking about? Yuren-kun, they're after Marion, a guest of the Shitenji family, right? This is a challenge to the Shitenji family. We need to teach our enemies a lot about the area... and Zhu Yan has reached us."
That's what I say, Myung Liang laughs.
"haha......"
"Well, but this is what Zhu Yan said. We're angry, too. Because some of us have followers who favor Mr. Marion. And..."
Yuto saw Ming Liang's grin turn into something invincible.
"Even Miho... we need to make Miho regret getting his hands on us. This is the work of the Shitenji family."
……
Yes, Myung Liang leaves behind, and when he takes out his phone, he turns his back on Yuto.
I felt like I saw another face of the Four Heavens Temple family, which could be described as a super famous house among the capable among the gentle faces of Ming Liang, and Yu Man felt his spine cool.
"Is this it? Blessings."
"Ah... Miho. Yeah, they say this is the place. Wait a minute. I'll call my people before I go in."
"A fellow is an outsider? I wonder how many of them there are... they'll introduce us to the outside world too."
"... are you another woman's outsider? Yuto. Now what? Is she a toddler?
"Huh!? This guy is a man, Mr. Marion. He's too busy for that! I'll introduce you again!
Yuto says so, while taking a distance from Miho and contacting Gaston's cell phone.
"Hey, what's a little girl? Marion."
"Ah! It's nothing. Because it might be too much of my thinking."
"What do you think too much comes out of a toddler... Marion's a little crazy lately, isn't she? If I did, I'd have all the cute illustrated DVDs..."
"It's not weird! Miho doesn't know what it's worth! And a young girl is the most dangerous of them all..."
There was a response to Yuto's phone, which was sweating cold from his back into a conversation between Miho and Marion heard from behind.
“Oh, sir, are you there?"
"... How far is a toddler? Saddle horses and Tsukuba... around which?
“What, a toddler? What are you talking about? Sir..."
"Ah, Gaston! Nothing, this way. Ohon! So, what do you say? I just got downstairs."
“Really, yes, you can come whenever you want. The location is on the 29th floor. One floor down from the top floor."
"Huh? What about watching?
“I've cleaned that area up here. Looks like they were scraping a lot of personnel.”
"Personnel? It's supposed to be an important hostage, but it's..."
“Right, you probably assigned personnel to those who attacked your husbands. I was already in a hurry when I walked in."
"Well... I'm going to set you up tomorrow morning... no, you're going to be here as early as tonight. But I couldn't feel any sign of the enemy. I don't think they even put a trail on it... but Ming Liang didn't say anything either... but I'll be on my guard."
“Yes, I think that would be better. Some of those people may have the ability to be good at identifying and tracking locations. It's an ability that national organizations seem to like. Of course, I'll follow you too”
"Yeah, please. Thanks for everything, Gaston."
“What are you talking about? It's nothing like this, sir."
"Well, when we get up there, should we go and see the kids who are being held hostage? How many are there?"
“Yes, about twenty in all. To the oldest and summarizer, Shihei, to a certain extent from me, we've been through this, so I'm sure you'll understand as soon as you see him.”
"Huh!? Are you doing that for me?
“Yes, but the problem is where you take them out. It's still quite a crowd, so you'll need manpower to hide it."
"I think that's okay, because I'm telling the agency. And worst of all, I'll talk to Akira and the others. Well, I'm gonna go upstairs now, so get Gaston off the spot."
Yes, sir.
When Yuto hung up, Myeong Liang approached.
"Yu Man, it looks like these people will arrive already. What are we gonna do?
"Yes, then I want a place to prepare and hide the cars that will take the hostage children. And just in case, I'd like to ask for perimeter alert. The enemy seems to be in a hurry, so something could come up."
"Hmm...... ok. So, how many are there?
He said there's about 20 of them.
"Fine, that's a lot... Yeah, let's get ready as soon as possible. Keep me posted with the branch manager."
"Thank you, Myung Liang. From what to what"
"As I said earlier, don't worry about it, Yuto. This time the Shitenji family decided to do everything in their power to back it up. Yu Man, first of all, I hope you do what you want."
"Yes, I understand! Then Miho and Marion will go to the apartment with me. It looks like some of the kids are hostages, so please take the lead when you take them out."
"Okay."
"Okay."
The blessed men nodded at each other, and when they moved out to each of them, Marion cried out in dismay.
"Now... Yuto doesn't have to fight that dead bird."
Miho stares at Marion and laughs nicely as she agrees. Yuto silently headed to the main entrance of the apartment.
(Sure...... now there shouldn't be any reason to fight for swallow stop water. Maybe we can pull it in here if we do well. Just... Sometimes I don't know)
Yuto caresses his left shoulder unconsciously damaged by the water stop.
And the waterstop that played Dead Fight came to my mind this morning.
(There is no doubt that the swallow stop water fuelled the conflict between the Leopard of Dark Night and the Institution. But wasn't that an attempt to conflict the institution with the Leopard of the Dark Night and create a situation where he could not fall together or be held hostage? On top of that, he took back the hostages, and maybe even thought about fleeing. If you think about it, some things are convincing. But then why...)
Yuto enters the number of the room taught by Gaston on the intercom located at the entrance of the apartment.
Then... a young man's voice was uttered from the intercom some time later.
“Are you... an institutional person?"
"Yes, I say Don Du. I'm here to pick you up."
“……”
Shihei, the Lord of the Voice, did not respond, but the splendid main door, which was on the side of the Yumen, opened automatically. Confirming that, Yuto, who walked out to the elevator hall, spills his words small.
"Why... that's when he... laughed"
This discomfort was persistently creeping into Yuman's heart.
