Without needing to see specific people, just by hearing the tone, Morimoto Chiyoda could understand that Okayama Buji wasn't very willing.
But she didn't continue to persuade.
She knew Okayama Buji was capable of making the right choice in his heart.
The righteousness of the cause was truly useful.
As long as the banner of the world's safety was raised, it seed that the sacrifice of a few could beco tolerable.
Perhaps due to her own personality, Morimoto Chiyoda felt sowhat indifferent.
Lacking basic empathy towards people outside herself.
Morimoto Chiyoda didn't think about those things, played a blasting tune, drove towards the sunset's evening glow back to the Tokyo Park Hyatt Hotel.
After parking the car, she took the hotel's high-speed elevator up.
The ground floors hardly ever stopped and would only stop at the hotel floors.
And at this ti, those using the elevator were either staff or trial participants.
No matter who saw her, they would respectfully call out, "Good evening, Minister Morimoto."
Morimoto Chiyoda always responded with a cold attitude.
To them, Minister Morimoto was like a flower on top of a snow mountain—cold, holy, with no trace of earthly fire.
But Morimoto Chiyoda just found them botherso.
Showing even a slight smile to these teenagers might cause them to hallucinate, thinking, "Could she like ?"
This is an easy misconception for those in their teenage years.
The elevator ascended to the top floor, the door opened, with only her stepping out, facing a bamboo grove ahead, and behind was the front desk staff.
She walked towards the presidential suite on the right, the corridor was elegant yet desolate, ending at a heavy door.
Once opened, waves of singing like ghosts wailing and wolves howling ca from within.
"Rain fluttering, flying in the sky is my tears, tears hanging low..."
The expensive speakers roared, Aozawa sang loudly into the microphone, singing a classic old song.
At that mont, Morimoto Chiyoda's thoughts were scattered, closing the door, her indifferent cheeks revealed a hint of a smile, she said irritably, "You brat, trying to kill ? Keep your voice down."
The volu imdiately decreased, Aozawa abandoned the microphone, ran over with a smile, "Chiyoda, do you want to eat first or ?"
He stood with his hands on his hips, full of bravado.
Morimoto Chiyoda raised her hand to slap him, saying irritably, "Hurry up and get dressed, you're taking away my fun of tearing your clothes later."
"At your command, Queen~"
Aozawa imdiately stood upright, then ran to the bedroom to change into a loose robe.
He stepped out of the bedroom, not seeing Morimoto Chiyoda in the living room.
Judging from the defensive stance, she was hiding in the bathroom. He stepped forward, twisting the door handle to find it locked.
Between people, there really is no trust.
"Are you actually trying to peek at showering? Pervert, hurry up and go eat."
"It's not like I haven't seen it before."
Aozawa mumbled, he turned to the dining table, picked up a chicken leg, and took a vicious bite, planning to recharge his energy.
Ding, the phone suddenly lit up, Aozawa inwardly exclaid 'not good', especially when a ssage arrived at the critical mont.
He unlocked it to find a ssage from Arakawa Reina.
"Mr. Aozawa, I'm currently reporting work to the young miss, what are you doing?"
...
Tokyo Imperial Hotel, top floor.
Warm colored lights bathed the spacious living room, Phoenix Academy Maggie sat on the sofa, looking at the physical examination reports of the third round of trial participants.
The number of demons killed, the enhanced strength, needed to be compared to previous reports, then write a new report.
She lowered her head, reading very seriously.
Arakawa Reina stood next to her, typing and sending ssages to Aozawa.
She estimated the timing, thinking that Morimoto Chiyoda should be back with Mr. Aozawa around now.
Arakawa Reina was curious, today Aozawa might send voice ssages, even pant a bit?
Perhaps it's because she often reads such comics.
Hearing a voice with a slight pant, her mind naturally wanders.
Perhaps when Mr. Aozawa sends a ssage to her, Morimoto Chiyoda is beside him, busy with who knows how many rounds.
Ding, a soft sound, a photo was sent over with accompanying text.
"I'm about to eat."
The ssage changed from unread to read.
Arakawa Reina didn't type a reply.
On the sofa, Phoenix Academy Maggie lifted her head, frowned slightly, "Is this your work attitude?"
Her eyes flashed with sharpness.
Besides personal discord, such work attitude was sothing she couldn't tolerate.
Daring to act that way in front was indicative of possibly being lax behind her back.
"Young Miss, I saw you were watching reports, so I ssaged Mr. Aozawa, asking what he was doing?
I think the young miss might also want to know about his movents."
Arakawa Reina smiled.
She wanted to build a good relationship with the young miss, then help her date Aozawa, and capture the chance for a ho run.
So she volunteered, using her identity as one who passed the third round of trial participants, to express her eager desire to serve Phoenix Academy Group to her idol Kochou.
Arranged by her, assisting the young miss in handling hotel internal affairs.
This was why she stood before Phoenix Academy Maggie.
"Are you deliberately looking for trouble?!"
Phoenix Academy Maggie's eyes narrowed slightly, did she need Arakawa Reina, this interdiary, to obtain Aozawa's information?
She had a phone, could send ssages to inquire about anything from Aozawa anyti, without needing an interdiary to ask and relay!
Arakawa Reina shook her head, explaining, "Young Miss, that's not what I ant, I genuinely want to have a good relationship with you.
"Wouldn't you feel a sense of achievent if I deliver the ssage for you?"
"Huh?"
Phoenix Academy Maggie almost lost control of her expression, scrutinizing Arakawa Reina, and unsurely asked, "Are you a pervert?"
The words pierced like a sharp sword into Arakawa Reina's heart, her face slightly flushed, she stamred, "Of course not.
I just thought, watching a rival follow your orders, and even voluntarily help connect you with the one you fancy, shouldn't you feel an imnse satisfaction?"
"Get lost!"
Phoenix Academy Maggie spat out a cold word with thirty-eight-degree lips, finally figuring out that the class leader's mindset was different from regular people.
Talking about satisfaction?
This woman is enjoying herself!
In a certain sense, she's trickier than Ayatsuki Ayaka, a pervert who takes pleasure in being tornted.
Sick!
Phoenix Academy Maggie's eyes were filled with contempt.
Arakawa Reina felt a slight tremor in her heart under her gaze.
Not good, seems like sothing's wrong with .
If under such gaze while with Mr. Aozawa...
"Hi."
Arakawa Reina answered hurriedly and turned to leave, needing to return to her room for a shower.
She closed the young lady's door, walked towards the elevator, and again looked at the read ssages on her phone, lost in thought.
Could I be overthinking?
After all, Mr. Aozawa is a disciplined person, wanting to test how much his strength has increased is very possible.
Should I send a voice ssage to test?
See if that person still has any breathing sounds coming through.
This thought flashed through Arakawa Reina's mind, only to be followed by a feeling of disgust, she always inadvertently tries to apply comic plots to reality, could such a thing happen?
No, impossible!
She sighed, other than making herself excited, sharing such thoughts with others would just appear disgusting right?
Thinking of the young lady looking at her like a pervert, she suddenly felt heartbroken, better not attempt such tests.
Improving the relationship with the young lady needs a new strategy, this thod would only invite dislike.
"Then you have your al."
Arakawa Reina replied, stepping into the elevator.
...
Ding dong.
Another doorbell sounded.
Phoenix Academy Maggie furrowed her brows slightly, putting down the physical examination report, remotely opened the door, "Who is it?"
"It's ."
Takahashi Saeko walked in with a smile, raised a hand, "Good evening, young lady~"
Phoenix Academy Maggie's furrowed brows relaxed, asking, "Takahashi, what brings you over?"
"Of course, it's important intel reporting to the young lady."
Takahashi Saeko stepped forward, stopping behind the sofa, "According to my friend in the underground world, Higashino Group is planning sothing recently."
Phoenix Academy Maggie straightened up, knowing very well, just a violent gang planning sothing wouldn't make Takahashi specifically co over to inform her.
"Heads of Higashino Group's subsidiaries have arrived in Tokyo, so mbers quietly infiltrated Tokyo Port, it seems to be over several hundred in scale."
"Infiltrating Tokyo Port?!"
Phoenix Academy Maggie furrowed her brow, imdiately thinking of what her mother ntioned before, the Clown!
"Could it be, Higashino Group is connected with the Clown?"
"Young lady, you're wise."
Takahashi Saeko lightly flattered, "I thought the sa, so I hurriedly reported this to you."
"Seems like we can't ignore this."
Phoenix Academy Maggie murmured, feeling those people truly had no sense of self-preservation.
The Unicorn matter unresolved, Dread Emperor might descend, and yet they have ti for this.
Phoenix Academy Maggie really couldn't figure it out.
If there's a connection to the Clown, then it's the End Ti Gospel Faction ddling.
This trial's location is in Alaska State, and Dread Emperor is most likely to descend there.
Are those people really trying to shorten their country's fortune?
She stood up saying, "This matter is important, have your friend continue to keep track.
As for , I'll head to the Imperial Palace to see my mother right away."
Choosing not to call was because Phoenix Academy Maggie feared the CIA might intercept the call.
She was also uncertain about the CIA's position in this incident.
Takahashi Saeko smiled, saying, "Young lady, what reward do you plan to give ?"
Phoenix Academy Maggie glanced at her, asking, "What reward do you want?"
"I don't need money, just want to know so intel about the Different World as Iroha is quite naïve.
Caught in such a storm, I'm really worried about her safety."
"You've really surprised ."
"Haha, I'm casual about feelings for n, but never casual about friends."
Takahashi Saeko revealed her usual sly smile, apparently joking.
Phoenix Academy Maggie understood the words were serious but not imdiately rewarding, "After the matter is resolved, I'll give you the corresponding rewards."
"Young lady truly is a qualified capitalist."
Takahashi Saeko teased.
