Arrival in Japan

"Waaaaah!"

Accompanied by a deep whistle, a luxury cruise ship entered Tokyo Port.

"Ah~! We've finally arrived!"

Standing on the ground in the harbor, Bell stretched. Although the presence of magic meant he didn't have to worry about seasickness (except for his father William), the feeling of constantly swaying at sea was never as comfortable as having his feet firmly on the ground.

As for why we chose to travel to Japan by cruise ship?

I said I wouldn't fly, and I won't! I keep my word, but Bell's patience... cough cough, Wizarding Path!

Although cruise ships are much slower than airplanes, the journey from boarding at Tianjin Port to arriving at Tokyo Port took a total of two days.

But cruise ships are spacious!

Unlike airplanes, where you're basically seated the entire time, cruise ships offer a variety of amenities, including bedrooms, restaurants, shopping malls, theaters, and children's playgrounds. The Bell family, who had never been on a cruise before, were truly amazed.

From the moment he boarded the ship, William kept remarking, "Muggle really know how to have fun... no, I mean, they know how to enjoy themselves!"

"It's all that brat Bell's fault! He keeps saying things I can't understand, and now I've caught his nonsense!"

William thought to himself.

Meanwhile, William is also planning to build a Magical Yacht when he gets back, which he's sure will make him a fortune!

Moreover, after getting tired of playing hide-and-seek on the cruise ship, Bell can take his sister to the sky and the sea, and catch a few fish that look delicious so that Lim can practice his new cooking skills.

In short, Little Shanna was very satisfied and happy with her two-day cruise trip. And as long as her little sister was happy, Bell was happy!

Walking through the bustling Tokyo Port, Bell felt a pang of emotion. But this time, it was different from the emotions he felt in China.

Before leaving China, Bell repeatedly confirmed with Zhao Youde that Japan did not have a national protection formation like China's "Nine Provinces Guardian Array".

So, is it just my imagination? It seems like Bell is breathing more easily now than when he was in China?

After exiting customs, Bell looked around.

Like in China, the Japan Magical World, which Onmyoji refer to as the Curse World, has very little interaction with the outside world. Therefore, the Bell family applied to enter Japan under the guise of market research.

Naturally, the Onmyoji side also arranged for personnel to be responsible for receiving them.

As for the reasons why the Japan Curse World was isolated from the world, that's a rather complicated matter.

Zhao Youde gave Bell a general explanation, including geographical and cultural reasons.

Even Zhao Youde only had a vague understanding, and by the end he didn't even know what he was saying anymore. Let alone Bell, who was in the audience.

However, unlike in China, Bell wasn't as interested in delving into the history of Japan Curse World. He was only interested in their unique magical knowledge.

Soon, the Bell family found a sign that read "Welcome Menethil (in English)". However, the person holding the sign was somewhat unexpected for the Bell family.

"Hello, are you Mr. William Mr. Menethil?"

Upon seeing the Bell family approaching, the receptionist nervously asked in English.

"Yes, that's right!"

William smiled with satisfaction.

Although the other person's English wasn't perfect, William could still understand it, which made William very happy.

Because this time he can finally show his authority as the head of the family, instead of having to follow his son around and even have to go through Bell to say something!

"Young lady, who are you? Are you involved in the Curse World? Where are the others?"

William flashed what he considered his most handsome smile.

When interacting with someone for the first time, it's natural to present your best self. Therefore, any sense of danger emanating from behind, or from your own wife, is completely unfounded!

William didn't find the little girl in front of him particularly cute. He had never even heard anyone say, "These days, young girls like handsome older men." He had absolutely no idea such a thing existed!

That's why women are so unreasonable! If the scene were different now, and his wife were smiling and chatting with a handsome young man, William would definitely not say anything.

What's the big deal? It's no big deal, right?

so,

"Bell, go do it!"

Well, as everyone knows, his son has never listened to him since he was a child, so if Bell does anything outrageous, it must have nothing to do with him as his father.

"..."

A bead of cold sweat slid down his forehead. Looking at the handsome middle-aged man in front of him, whose smile seemed somewhat lewd for some reason, Yomi felt a little panicked.

The other person was speaking too fast and for too long. Having only a basic understanding of English, she couldn't understand a word they were saying.

Thinking about this, she couldn't help but complain in her heart once again.

God knows how devastated she was when she received this assignment to "receive foreign guests"!

She knew that everyone was extremely busy lately because the appearances of evil spirits were becoming more and more frequent.

But no matter what, asking a junior high school student like her to perform such a high-level task as receiving foreign guests is really too much to ask!

If she had a choice, she would rather kill 100 evil spirits than stand awkwardly in the same spot, at a loss.

"What's wrong, little girl? Are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing the little girl standing there, her face gradually turning pale, without uttering a sound, William tried his best to show his gentleness and consideration.

"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're saying!" (in Japanese)

In his panic, Yomi accidentally blurted out his mother tongue.

Holding his younger sister's hand, Bell stood at the back, glancing at his father and then at his mother.

At that moment, Bell felt a pang of self-reproach. He realized how little he knew about his father. How had he never noticed before that his father loved to court death?

To alleviate some of his guilt, Bell decided to step in and save his father's life, and also to ease the awkwardness of the young woman he was meeting for the first time.

Bell tugged at his father, asking him to move over.

William, still puzzled and trying to figure out what the little girl in front of him had said, subconsciously moved to the side.

William only realized what had happened after it was moved.

Why should I be so obedient?!

However, since they had already moved aside, William was too embarrassed to squeeze back in and compete with his son for "territory" in front of outsiders.

And at that moment, he also realized that the little girl probably couldn't speak English well either.

He wanted to see what Bell could do.
