Isayama Yomi

"Hello, my name is Bell Menethil. May I ask... (in Japanese)"

"Bell! You can speak Japanese!?"

Bell was interrupted by his father's exclamation halfway through his sentence.

"So what if she can speak some Japanese? What's the big deal?"

Bell pretended to be nonchalant, as if he could master Japanese in just a day or two.

In fact, Bell did study Japanese in his previous life, but he wasn't proficient in it; he was only at a level where he could barely manage daily conversations.

As for why I'm learning Japanese?

That's because they've been poisoned by the "evil" anime!

Speaking of which, I wonder if that certain the Grim Reaper Elementary Schoolboy has been arrested and brought to justice yet? Just thinking about how arrogantly he's still at large makes Bell grit his teeth in hatred.

Having learned from Zhao Youde's experience, just in case, Bell spent several nights using Legilimency again to organize his memories from his past life.

William was desperate.

While speaking Japanese might not seem like a big deal, Bell can speak it, but he can't. This means that for the next ten days or so, he'll be following Bell around like a shadow, just to communicate with others!

He's completely lost his authority as a father!

Most importantly, although they could obtain Bell's simultaneous interpretation through the Curses, William disliked the feeling of having the content directly crammed into his head.

Bell looked at his father strangely, wondering why the man had inexplicably turned grayish-white.

But now is not the time to worry about such things. Being interrupted by his own father halfway through his sentence was already quite impolite. If he continued to leave this young lady feeling awkward, Bell was genuinely afraid she would suddenly burst into tears.

"Hello, my name is Bell Menethil. What's your name? And where is the person who was supposed to greet us? (in Japanese)"

Bell asked politely.

"Hello! I'm the person in charge of receiving you."

Yomi responded somewhat flusteredly.

However, at the same time, she also breathed a huge sigh of relief. It was wonderful that someone on the other side could speak Japanese.

Good heavens! Although she can speak a few words of English, it's limited to what she says in class, exchanging a few sentences with the teacher. With the English level of an average ninth-grade student, how could she possibly have a fluent conversation with Britain?

"My name is Isayama Yomi, and I am a member of the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Office of the Nature Environment Bureau, Ministry of the Environment."

Yomi was too embarrassed to say that she was an intern who had only been there for less than a year, fearing that the other person would feel disrespected.

What if the other person takes advantage of her young age and tries to bully her? Should she draw "The Lion King" and chop them down?

Upon hearing Isayama Yomi's answer, Bell looked the other person up and down with some surprise.

Isayama Yomi is over 1.6 meters tall, slightly shorter than Bell. She has long, straight, waist-length black hair that is neatly combed. She is wearing a Japan- style sailor uniform.

Bell looked up at the sun directly overhead. "Shouldn't it be summer vacation? Why is the other person still wearing a school uniform?"

Finally, Isayama Yomi was carrying a long cloth bag on his back, which should have contained a Japan sword.

Bell could sense very powerful magical fluctuations from it. Oh, right, in Japan it should be called curse power.

"Um... Isayama-san, if I may ask, has your Japan environmental agency started employing child labor?"

Although Bell already knew from Zhao Youde's explanation that the Japan Curse World was currently facing the problem of the Killing Stone), and therefore was in dire need of manpower.

But no matter what, it's unreasonable to let a minor girl work for some kind of environmental protection agency, right? So, are all the adult Onmyoji -yang masters) dead?

Ahem, he absolutely didn't mean anything by "implying" Dumbledore. Everyone knows that he, Bell, deeply respects Dumbledore... ahem, I mean Professor Dumbledore! So don't get the wrong idea!

"It is the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Office of the Nature Environment Bureau, Ministry of the Environment."

The Yomi Corrects the Way.

"..."

(◎-◎;)

"Okay, you can just call it the Countermeasures Office."

Seeing the swirling circles appearing in Bell's eyes, Yomi reluctantly backed down.

"Furthermore, the Countermeasures Office does not employ child labor."

When he said those words, Yomi felt a little guilty for some reason.

It's just a misperception! It must be because she took a taxi over as soon as her morning tutoring class ended, and it's already past 1 p. m., and she hasn't had lunch yet, so she's having this misperception!

As for why she still had to attend tutoring classes even though it was summer vacation?

That's because she was so busy exorcising evil spirits that she didn't have time to study, which resulted in her failing her final exams!

"Ah—! I really want to go hiking! I really want to go to the beach! I really don't want to go to class—!"

As for the taxi fare, it should be reimbursed when we get back, right? That's a month's living expenses for her!

"I am the next heir to the Isayama Family. In order to live up to my status as heir, I must hone my abilities. That's why I joined the Countermeasures Office and participated in the work of exorcising evil spirits."

Bell nodded, seemingly understanding. Bell had never even heard of the Curse World, especially the Isayama Family. Therefore, he offered no further comment. For him, confirming the other party's identity was enough.

Gurgle!

Yomi clutched his stomach tightly, his fair cheeks turning red from the tips of his ears to the roots of his neck at a visible speed.

Bell smiled slightly and suggested, "We haven't eaten either, so why don't we grab something to eat together? We're new here and don't know what to eat. Isayama-san, could you be our guide?"

"Of course, that's my job."

Yomi took a few deep breaths and finally calmed down.

"However, this is my first time in Tokyo Port, and I'm not familiar with the area, so I don't know which restaurants are good."

"It's okay, we can just find a clean restaurant to eat at."

Bell waved his hand casually and said.

"Also, Isayama-san, there's no need to use honorifics with me. Just relax; I'm probably younger than you."

"How old are you?"

Yomi was surprised and looked at Bell in front of her. Bell was half a head taller than her; she had always thought he was a high school student.

"13 years old."

"You're lying!"

Yomi stared intently at Bell's feet again. Could it be that he was wearing those trendy platform shoes?

"My Gege isn't lying! Gege really is 13! The other person is 11, so of course my Gege, who's two years older, is 13!" (in English)

Upon hearing that someone dared to question her own Gege, Little Shanna had already been taught by her Gege not to pull out her Wand and blow people up at the slightest provocation, couldn't help but speak up to vouch for her Gege.
