10:15 AM, Yokohama International Conference Center, tea area.
Do you have a few minutes to say a few words?
"Why?"
Upon seeing the woman across from him carrying a tea tray and wearing a shirt, Haruka Ono immediately recognized her as the " Electron Sorceress " Kyoko Fujibayashi.
In fact, she had already taken a photo to identify Kyoko Fujibayashi the moment she saw her, but the information was very obscure and had no real value; her specific identity (affiliation) still needs to be verified.
"Okay, please!"
Haruka Ono, wondering about the other person's purpose in coming to her, did not refuse.
"Thanks."
After thanking her, Kyoko Fujibayashi sat down opposite Haruka Ono, then held her teacup and stared at Haruka Ono without saying a word. Haruka Ono became increasingly nervous under her gaze, placing her hands on her legs under the table, looking somewhat uneasy, and glancing at Kyoko Fujibayashi across from her, appearing very reserved.
"I still feel embarrassed being looked at like that."
Seeing Ono Haruka Ono's reserved demeanor, Kyoko Fujibayashi couldn't help but speak up.
"Sorry."
Haruka Ono apologized instinctively.
"It's alright, it's my honor to have Miss Ghost interested."
Upon hearing Kyoko Fujibayashi reveal her background, Haruka Ono suddenly had someone to suspect.
After all, one's identity isn't something that just anyone can easily find out.
"It's an honor that the Electron Sorceress knows me."
Haruka Ono also countered without backing down.
"So, what exactly is it that made you contact me?"
You should know this even if I don't tell you.
Kyoko Fujibayashi shifted her gaze from Haruka Ono, glanced at the teacup in her hand, and said calmly.
"I'm sorry, I'm not as good as you."
Is this a riddle?
Seeing Haruka Ono's hand trembling slightly as she held the teacup, Kyoko Fujibayashi frowned.
"You're too modest."
"Teacher Kokonoe gave you a very high evaluation!"
"Ah!"
Haruka Ono was slightly startled when she heard the words " Kokonoe- sensei".
"I'll get straight to the point and speak frankly."
Upon hearing Kyoko Fujibayashi's words, Haruka Ono's grip on her teacup tightened again.
"Don't worry, you're just focused on your work, and my advice is simply that we shouldn't interfere with each other, that's all."
Kyoko Fujibayashi naturally noticed Haruka Ono's reaction, but she didn't care.
"I don't understand what you're saying."
"You won't be held responsible by the authorities."
Kyoko Fujibayashi again.
"The only ones who will be held accountable are those who showed excessive curiosity towards my important partners."
That's all!
Kyoko Fujibayashi looked completely confident of victory, showing no concern whatsoever about Haruka Ono's attitude.
Haruka Ono's casual demeanor told her that the other party was confident and fearless, so she just frowned and didn't say anything in rebuttal.
Seeing Haruka Ono's tacit agreement, Kyoko Fujibayashi knew she had achieved her goal.
As Tatsuya Shiba gradually reveals his strength, he has begun to transcend the realm of a high school student. Although Chiba Yeyou is there to shield him, some people still show excessive curiosity towards Tatsuya Shiba.
This is bad, extremely bad!
Curiosity can kill you!
"Oh, right!"
Kyoko Fujibayashi had already stood up to leave, suddenly turned back to look at Haruka Ono, as if she had remembered something.
"Some people are better off not being overly curious; I certainly wouldn't dare be overly curious myself!"
This was just a friendly reminder. Goodbye!
After saying that, he turned and left without looking back.
" Chiba Yeyou...?"
Haruka Ono knew why Kyoko Fujibayashi had come to see her; it was undoubtedly because of Tatsuya Shiba. However, the suitcase behind her made her pause for a moment, and then a name immediately popped into her mind: Chiba Yeyou!
As for why the initial target wasn't Chiba Yeyou, it's quite simple.
Chiba Yeyou's demeanor, actions, and behavior are unorthodox, and she acts without any purpose.
More importantly, Haruka Ono still doesn't understand what Chiba Yeyou's code of conduct is.
The fact that Kyoko Fujibayashi came to negotiate with me at this time suggests that there's a secret between Tatsuya Shiba and Kyoko Fujibayashi Tatsuya Shiba. Is she from the Ministry of Defense, or...?
"They let Lü Ganghu escape?"
Just as Haruka Ono was still trying to figure out who Kyoko Fujibayashi really was, Kyoko Fujibayashi, who had just entered a private room and turned on her computer to Harunobu Kazama Genshin, saw the latest information on the screen and immediately stood up in surprise, truly dumbfounded.
"Ah!"
"Ugh!"
Kyoko Fujibayashi suddenly remembered that she was outside and there were no strict security measures in place, so she covered her mouth.
"Excuse me for asking, but is this information reliable?"
"Um!"
"The escort vehicle was attacked en route to Yokosuka Prison."
Why choose to relocate during this sensitive time?
Kyoko Fujibayashi asked softly, somewhat puzzled.
"Fortunately, we're ready to deploy because we'll be testing new equipment in Hodogaya tomorrow."
"We're preparing to depart now, heading towards your location."
"The estimated arrival time is 15:00."
As for why the poetry anthology was transferred to Lü Ganghu at this particular time, who knows!
Harunobu Kazama wanted to ask those guys what they were thinking!
"Receive!"
"Your subordinate will closely monitor the situation."
Kyoko Fujibayashi answered immediately.
"Thank you for your help, Lieutenant."
Kyoko Fujibayashi straightened up and saluted.
Oh, right.
"If the situation worsens, we can consider asking Chiba Yeyou for help."
Harunobu Kazama suddenly remembered that besides Tatsuya Shiba, the Tatsuya Ooguro and special agent, First High School also had a Chiba Yeyou with unfathomable strength!
They had spent a lot of effort trying to find out Chiba Yeyou's background, but they hadn't gotten anything out of him.
This further elevated Chiba Yeyou's standing in Harunobu Kazama's eyes, making him no less important than Tatsuya Shiba.
You see, he knew Tatsuya Shiba's background, unlike those guys outside who were just guessing!
This shows how much Harunobu Kazama values Chiba Yeyou.
Moreover, it's still unclear which force is behind Chiba Yeyou. If Chiba Yeyou encounters a crisis, it might even draw out the person behind her.
"But, Chiba Yeyou is a high school student..."
"His fighting ability is like a high school student's?"
Harunobu Kazama laughed when he heard Kyoko Fujibayashi's words.
"Well.."
"I know I don't want to involve students in the competition, but I was just saying in case!"
Although Harunobu Kazama had the idea of testing the power behind Chiba Yeyou, protecting the homeland was their duty, and they would never think of asking a student to help their soldiers. It was just that Chiba Yeyou was unfathomable to him, and he felt that perhaps she could really be of great help.
As for testing the forces behind them, that was merely an unexpected bonus.
"Yes!"
