A Cloud Piercing Arrow
Bell chatted with Nanami for a while longer, until he felt that he wouldn't be chased by Kagura with a knife if he went into the office now. Only then did Bell cautiously push open the door and peek into the office.
There, Yomi and Kagura were sitting together, holding hands and whispering to each other.
"By the way, aren't you two going to take a shower first?"
"Bell asked."
Yomi was alright; when he helped the other party clean the bloodstains on his body, he also removed the dirt.
However, Kagura's appearance at this time is not very attractive.
His body was covered in mud and grass clippings, and his little face was streaked with red and black, making him look exactly like a little Delia.
"Snort!"
In response to Bell's question, Kagura snorted angrily and turned her head away.
At this moment, Kagura no longer showed any of the gratitude she had shown towards Bell.
No matter how she looks at him now, she finds Bell repulsive and extremely annoying!
So she simply decided to avoid seeing it altogether and turned her head away!
Although, after Sister Yomi's explanation, she already knew that the other party had made her Shikigami in order to save Sister Yomi.
While it's understandable rationally, it's utterly unacceptable emotionally!
Even if Sister Yomi is to become Shikigami, then she should be the Shikigami!
... Well, Kagura knew that was impossible.
Let's not even talk about the fact that she already has Byakuei and can't afford any other Shikigami.
Even without Byakuei, she could not withstand the evil thoughts constantly emanating from the Killing Stone within Sister Yomi's body.
In other words, it seems that only Bell can save Sister Yomi right now?
But I still can't accept it!
"You didn't say there was a shower here."
Yomi rolled her eyes at Bell, then stood up, grabbed Kagura, and walked in the direction Bell was pointing.
Cleaning Kagura of the stains was one thing, but more importantly, she didn't want to see Kagura and Bell clash.
One of them is her closest younger sister, and the other is her newly recognized master. If these two start arguing, she will truly be caught in the middle.
Strictly speaking, she is no longer human, but an evil spirit.
"Nanami- nee, go buy two outfits, the sizes are..."
After shrugging and giving a brief instruction to Nanami Misora outside, Bell found a seat and sat down.
Actually, Yomi was overthinking things. He wouldn't hold a grudge against that little girl Kagura. He wasn't that petty.
Rather, he found Kagura's sulky expression quite amusing and couldn't resist teasing her.
What? You're asking him how he knew the sizes of both women?
Ahem, with his current level of insight, he can make a pretty accurate guess with just a little observation...
After sitting with his legs crossed and spacing out for a while, Bell decided to take advantage of the free time to get down to business first, so as not to keep thinking about it.
Bell took out his Personal Terminal and dialed a familiar number.
"Beep~ Beep~"
Click!
"Young Master, it's been a long time. Is there anything you need?"
Looking at his Young Master on the screen, Sebas was filled with emotion.
"I wonder which unlucky souls have offended our Young Master this time?"
So far, he has only received five communications from the Young Master.
The first time, the Knockturn Alley filled with cries of agony;
The second time, a bunch of people were lying on the ground outside the Quidditch World Cup stadium;
The third time, half of Britain's Pure-blood aristocracy was wiped out;
The fourth time, the American Wizarding World is still in a state of chaos.
And now, this is the fifth time.
So this time, is our Young Master planning to extend his evil claws to the Cultivator again?
When he learned that the Young Master was going to study abroad, he had a feeling that something was going to happen.
(Sebas was unaware that Bell had gone to Japan.)
"Hey! Sebas, long time no see. How have you been?"
Completely unaware of what his old butler was thinking about him, Bell greeted the other party warmly.
Bell felt quite embarrassed that she had to trouble the other party every time she needed something.
After all, Sebas is really busy helping his father deal with all sorts of trivial and troublesome things every day.
"Thanks to you, my work has been much easier lately."
Sebas bowed and said.
He did not tell Bell about the fact that the Pure-blood Wizarding Family on the Europe continent seemed to be considering uniting to fight against the Menethil Family.
There was no other reason than that he feared his family William's heart couldn't handle it.
So let's give the head of the family some more time.
The premise is that the Young Master won't cause too much of a commotion this time...
"Really? That's good. By the way, I've run into a bit of trouble here. How many people can the Special Operations Team spare right now?"
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Bell got straight to the point.
He's not one to beat around the bush.
"Currently, we can only spare a maximum of 100 men for one large squad. If you need more manpower, you'll have to wait..."
As soon as he saw the incoming call on his Personal Terminal, Sebas immediately pulled up the Special Operations Team's recent mission list and calculated the number of personnel that could be mobilized.
After all, he couldn't think of any other reason why the Young Master would suddenly contact him except to call for reinforcements.
Sebas was not satisfied with the result of only being able to spare 100 people.
Even when dealing with the harassment from American Mafia, they mobilized 200 members of the Action Team. Now, facing Cultivator whose strength is far greater, Sebas frankly felt that even sending all 300 men wouldn't be enough.
Shouldn't he suggest that the patriarch expand the Special Operations Team? It seems like they're getting increasingly strapped for cash lately.
What troubled Sebas the most was how these people were going to get in.
With the Nine Provinces Guardian Array blocking the way, he could still sneak one or two people in through his family connections.
But if it involves dozens or hundreds of people, then it becomes really difficult to solve.
Therefore, he hoped that the Young Master could wait a little longer, giving him more time to allocate manpower and find a way to obtain enough Pass Token.
"No need, no need! 100 people are enough!"
Bell hurriedly waved his hand, interrupting Sebas's speech.
Unlike the previous incident in the United States, this time it can be said to be entirely his own private matter.
If he mobilizes too many people because of his personal matters, he won't be able to explain it to his father later.
Not to mention, it's just catching a dirty rat in the sewer. The only difficulty is finding the other party, and 100 people are more than enough.
"Have them infiltrate Japan in batches and gather at the family's Japan branch."
"Bell gave the order."
