While Noah and Yuri Mariya's relationship was progressing smoothly, Toma Amakasu encountered an unexpected obstacle elsewhere.
In order to prepare followers of sufficient caliber for Noah, Toma Amakasu had spent the past few days running all over the place.
Although he kept grumbling without any real sense of urgency that making people work overtime without sleep for days and nights was something even the most exploitative companies would not do, and that he really ought to demand a raise, he never dragged his feet when it came to getting things done.
In fact, Toma Amakasu had not slept for several days in order to find suitable candidates for followers.
Of course, as a member of the Orthodoxy Compilation Committee, Toma Amakasu had received no less spellcraft training than a proper sorcerer, and his own mastery of spellcraft was exceptionally high.
Going without sleep for days and nights was hardly difficult for Toma Amakasu.
Yet at that moment, this member of the Orthodoxy Compilation Committee was standing at the foot of a mountain deep in the wilderness, leaning against the door of the car parked beside him and sighing with a weary expression.
"What are those old men even thinking?"
That remark received an unexpected reply.
"Actually, Ena doesn't know what Grandpa is thinking either. But since Ena received an order, she can only obey it."
Only upon hearing that voice did Toma Amakasu react.
That was a rare occurrence.
As a well-trained man, Toma Amakasu was seldom approached to a distance where someone's voice could be heard so clearly without him noticing their approach.
