Ah, That Hurts! (Continued)

"I've also checked the signing date on the document, and it is indeed genuine."

Standing in front of Nangong Natsuki was a gentle woman dressed in a pure black women's suit, revealing her long, slender legs, and adorned with silver floral decorations.

Today, the person in charge of Nangong Natsuki's secretarial work is Yaze, who is quite proficient in political affairs.

Angel is in charge of the main battles, Yaze is responsible for the main internal affairs!

This was assigned by Nangong Natsuki based on the characteristics of the two individuals.

"Heh, this is a common tactic used by various countries. Before doing anything despicable, they all use this method to clear themselves of any wrongdoing."

"To avoid the mission failing and implicating them internationally."

Nangong Natsuki elegantly picked up the black tea that Yaze had personally brewed, took a small sip, then lightly tapped the ground with her small feet, and rotated her office chair to face the floor-to-ceiling window opposite the door.

This is the highest level of the Cornerstone Gate. Through this floor-to-ceiling window, Nangong Natsuki can overlook the entire Island of Gen'ei from this vantage point.

Whenever she felt down, she could find solace in this scenery.

"Then, Lord Nangong, how should this matter be handled?"

Yaze said to Nangong Natsuki expressionlessly. As a Mimic being that only obeys orders, she does not possess any emotions. Obeying orders is the only thing she can do.

"Eh--!"

She sighed softly. Although she was very unhappy about William always increasing her workload, she had long been used to the fact that it was futile to resist William.

"There's nothing we can do; who told us to be stuck with such a difficult emperor! Go and inform Lotharingia that we will not accept their explanation and that they must make up the difference in funds within the specified time."

Normally, Nangong Natsuki doesn't really like this kind of forceful approach.

After all, in her view, the culprit had already been caught, and there was no need to forcibly provoke conflict with the other party, as this could easily lead to war.

"I see!"

"So, how should we deal with the spies from various countries who have infiltrated our country during this period?"

"Since we haven't received orders from you and Lord William, our primary objective right now is capture; we haven't taken their lives."

Yaze turned the page of the document in her hand and looked at the contents as she spoke.

"Ha! They already launched a large-scale espionage operation against me a few years ago, and now they're doing it again."

Nangong Natsuki jumped off her office chair and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the bustling crowd below, speaking in a calm tone.

"I think it's because the Lion King Agency's surrender has once again attracted the attention of countries around the world, and they've sent spies to try and find out the meaning behind William's actions."

"What you said makes sense!"

It is now a month since that day, and the Lion King Agency's relocation operation is proceeding very quickly.

In just five days, they transferred all the assets that Island of Gen'ei had accumulated in Japan over the years that could be transferred.

All of this was done quietly, and by the time the Japanese government reacted, the Lion King Agency's headquarters had already settled on Island of Gen'ei.

Of course, the Japanese government could be said to have immediately convened a meeting of the Supreme Council of the Sanctuary Treaty Organization!

Furthermore, they also severely condemned William for doing such a thing at the Supreme Council meeting.

Apart from the three True Ancestor, the other non-permanent members of the Security Council also lodged protests.

La Fria and Nangong Natsuki, who represented William at the meeting, did not give them the answer they wanted. Instead, they told them firmly that this was a decision made by the Lion King Agency personnel and had nothing to do with them.

In this situation, fearing that William might have designs on expanding his territory, they would inevitably send their men to investigate William's true intentions.

Who was the main person in charge of this arrest operation?

"Report! It's the Dancing Priestess from the Lion King Agency led by Lord Kirasaka. Thanks to their efforts, the vast majority of the spies have been captured, with only a small number still on the run."

"Hmph! It seems the Lion King Agency's people are still somewhat useful."

Nangong Natsuki curled her lip and snorted coldly.

She despises the Lion King Agency Organization, and even though they are now working together, she has no intention of changing her attitude.

Of course, this doesn't mean she would use her power to make things difficult for the Lion King Agency.

At most, I'll just maintain an attitude of ignoring them.

However, given the Lion King Agency 'Lion King Agency achievements, even she couldn't deny its effectiveness.

It's important to remember that during the spy infiltration a few years ago, spies from various countries practically turned Island of Gen'ei into a sieve during that operation.

This drastically different outcome has already proven many things.

"Alright, let's go to the Akagami Academy and talk to Aiba Asagi and the others about tomorrow's plans! I have some things to take care of."

His gaze turned eastward, taking in the scenery that was completely different from that of Island of Gen'ei.

Suddenly, Nangong Natsuki chuckled softly, turned around, picked up the lace folding fan that was placed on the table, unfolded it with a swish, and gently fanned herself.

"Reporting, Aiba Yu is currently working at the Security Department of the Management Public Corporation on the twelfth basement level."

Seeing that Nangong Natsuki was about to activate the magic circle, Yaze quickly spoke up to add to it.

"Hmm? She didn't go to class today?"

Nangong Natsuki abruptly stopped fanning herself with her folding fan, and her brows furrowed involuntarily.

"Yes, I just happened to run into Lady Aiba in the cafeteria and asked her why she was here."

Yaze closed the documents in her hands, held them to her chest, and began to speak.

"So, this must be her fifth time skipping class this month!"

Even though Nanami Nagatsuki hadn't shown any anger when she heard that Island of Gen'ei had been visited by spies, a dangerous smile actually appeared on her lips this Nangong Natsuki.

"Yes, Aiba Yu skipped all the classes when you and Lord William were absent."

Before anyone knew it, a report filled with symbols appeared in Yaze's hand. Upon closer inspection, it was clear that it contained the attendance sheet for all of Nangong Natsuki's students.

"Heh, this guy really needs to be taught a lesson..."

The Cornerstone Gate, twelve levels underground, houses the Security Department of the Management Public Corporation.

A blonde girl with a single ponytail, wearing a white lab coat and black-rimmed glasses, had a slice of bread in her mouth as her hands flew across the keyboard.

"Young Miss, someone outside requests to enter."
