" Yunyi, why did you come with Sister Fujibayashi?"
"I just came to your house to borrow some equipment. What, Miyuki, aren't you happy to see me?" Yunyi retorted.
"You just showed up like that all of a sudden, Yunyi, that's really rude of you," Miyuki Shiba complained. This house was her and her brother's haven, and she really couldn't accept people barging in like that.
"Oh, I guess I'll be going then." Yunyi shrugged, and faced with Miyuki Shiba's complaints, he decisively chose to leave. As for the equipment, he could always find another place.
"Hey, Miyuki was just joking." Tatsuya Shiba helplessly stopped Yunyi.
"Oh? You're about to become the head of the family, and you still joke around?" Yunyi raised an eyebrow.
Miyuki Shiba blushed slightly at Yunyi's words, and said angrily, " Yunyi, you really are..."
"Alright, alright, Miyuki, stop talking. Yunyi too, stop bullying Miyuki." Tatsuya Shiba quickly spoke up, stopping the two from continuing their bickering.
"Yes, brother." Miyuki Shiba obediently shut up immediately. Yunyi, on the other hand, looked at Tatsuya Shiba with some confusion. Had he bullied Miyuki? No, he hadn't.
Led by Tatsuya Shiba, Yunyi and Kyoko Fujibayashi entered the room where Tatsuya Shiba usually worked. Looking at the equipment in the room, Yunyi praised, "As expected of Taurus Silver's workspace. Fujibayashi, it's up to you now."
Kyoko Fujibayashi sat down in her seat. She looked at Yunyi and said, "So, who do you want me to find for you? Or do you want me to investigate something else?"
Yunyi took out his terminal, displayed Gu Jie's photo, and placed it in front of Kyoko Fujibayashi: "Find this person's trail, and make sure the location is accurate."
"Who is this person?" Kyoko Fujibayashi pressed, even though she had already decided to help Yunyi in order to escape as soon as possible, she still needed to ask about the target's information.
"Didn't I just say that? Weren't you listening?" Yunyi retorted.
Kyoko Fujibayashi remained silent for a moment, then turned around and began operating the system. Yunyi Yi had indeed mentioned something, but at the time she was still caught up in the spatial teleportation and the surprise of suddenly seeing Tatsuya Shiba, so she hadn't really paid attention. Now that Yunyi had said this, she couldn't press him further, so she could only begin searching for this person's whereabouts.
"I've received intelligence that this person was seen near the XX Hotel. You can use that lead to find him. Also, you can check if there have been any missing persons reports in the city recently; these could very well be related to this guy." Seeing Kyoko Fujibayashi begin to work, Yunyi also provided some clues at the opportune moment.
Kyoko Fujibayashi nodded slightly, her attention becoming focused. As she continued operating the system, various screens flashed across the large screen.
"Knock knock~"
A knock sounded at the door, Miyuki Shiba entered carrying a tray. Although somewhat displeased with Yunyi, the intruder, the lady-like Miyuki generously served her guest coffee.
"Thank you." Yunyi accepted the coffee and expressed her gratitude.
"Just don't barge in like that again next time," Miyuki Shiba replied.
Yunyi smiled, ceasing his banter with Miyuki Shiba, and turned to Tatsuya Shiba, saying, " Tatsuya, you'd better inform Maya Yotsuba that I'm here. Harunobu Kazama already knows I'm here from the phone call just now. I don't think that guy will help me conceal my whereabouts because of you, so you should tell Maya Yotsuba and tell her to be prepared."
"Oh? It seems you're not afraid of revealing your whereabouts?" Tatsuya Shiba countered.
"So what if my whereabouts are exposed? You Japan can find magic with space-sealing spells, right? If not, no matter how many people come, they can't stop me from leaving. What do I have to worry about?" Yunyi said confidently.
" Yunyi, you're really confident," Miyuki Shiba sighed.
Yunyi smiled but didn't respond to Miyuki Shiba's words. He was indeed confident, and even if Japan really produced a magician with spatial magic, he wasn't afraid; once his domain was activated, all of them would be silenced.
After a moment's hesitation, Tatsuya Shiba took out his terminal and relayed the news of Yunyi's arrival to Maya Yotsuba.
Although Maya Yotsuba was in Tokyo, she was well aware of how much Tatsuya Shiba and Miyuki Shiba valued this mansion. So, apart from the time she met Yunyi, she didn't stay here, but instead stayed at a hotel owned by the Yotsuba Family in Tokyo.
She was on her way to the Saegusa Family when she received the message. Hearing Hayama's message immediately piqued her interest.
" Hayama, do you think he came back at this time just to find the leader of that terrorist group?" Maya Yotsuba asked Hayama for his opinion.
After a moment's thought, Hayama replied, "I think that's very likely. I don't believe that at this crucial juncture, there's any other reason besides this clear objective that would make him leave the front lines and return to Japan."
"Really? It seems this terrorist leader is very important to him. Hayama, do you think we Yotsuba Clan should also lend a hand secretly?"
At the Shiba residence, as Kyoko Fujibayashi's search continued, more and more clues about Gu Jie were found. However, since this guy had practically roamed all over Tokyo in just a few days, it would take some more time to pinpoint his exact whereabouts.
On the other side, Yunyi and Tatsuya Shiba were chatting.
"By the way, today isn't a day off, so why didn't you and Miyuki go to school?" Yunyi suddenly asked.
Tatsuya Shiba glanced at Yunyi, the meaning of which was self-evident. Miyuki Shiba, standing to the side, secretly rolled her eyes, thinking, "If you hadn't caused such a mess, we would have gone to school!"
Yunyi shrugged and said, "It seems that Maya Yotsuba has revealed your identities? So, Miyuki, aren't you looking forward to a sweet and loving relationship with your brother in the future?"
Just as Tatsuya Shiba was about to say something, listening to Yunyi teasing his younger sister, he saw Yunyi gesture for him to look at Miyuki Shiba. What he saw shocked him. Miyuki Shiba's cheeks were flushed, and there seemed to be steam rising from her head, as if she had "boiled up".
"Please, stop bullying Miyuki." Tatsuya Shiba quite helpless. If Yunyi really wanted to harm them, he could have dealt with it forcefully. But Yunyi's casual provocations just happened to hit Miyuki Shiba's weak spot. This left Tatsuya Shiba somewhat at a loss.
