Chapter 443
On the screen, one could see a petite figure around 1 . 5 meter in height standing in the center of a crater . She had a large green raincoat that has a pair of rabbit ears to go along with it . She looked like a character someone meticulously drew for a work of art .
She’s the spirit that had appeared this time, Hermit, a loli character .
An alarm rang and all the Ratatoskr personnel took note of it .
“Commander, it’s the AST, they are there!”
Lights in the sky, incoming AST members, flew towards Hermit who is still in the crater . When they confirmed visuals of their target, they raised the guns that came with their mecha suit .
They shot rounds of munition at the petite figure in the crater .
The petite figure emerged from the salvo relatively unharmed . She got out of AST’s encirclement but they still fired at her as they chased her down .
The sound of explosions came through the screen as Hermit did her best to dodge the missiles and bullets .
Wu Yan felt a wave of seething anger boiling up within him, the sight of that tiny figure escaping from ruthless attacks irked him the wrong way . His anger took the heat out of the control room, everyone shivered .
Wu Yan felt his respect for AST dropping by the second . She’s a spirit and they are just doing what they are ordered to do but to raise a gun against such a little kid . Wu Yan can’t approve of AST’s action .
Kotori felt the pressure leaking out of Wu Yan and she called him, she wanted him to calm down . If he kept his pressure up, everyone in the control center would collapse .
“Squad leader!”
Yatsuki Tatsuwa grabbed Wu Yan’s shoulder, an impressive feat considering that Wu Yan’s pressure, tiny as it may be, is enough to immobilize adults . He can see why Kotori chose him as his assistant .
This is probably the result of his combat training, Wu Yan’s a field operative, as his assistant, naturally, he would need to be able to put up a fight whenever the situation calls for it .
Wu Yan regained his composure when the two of them called out to him . He inhaled deeply, it took a lot for him to calm down .
“Kotori!”
Wu Yan turned towards Kotori with a serious look .
“Give me the order! I am going to bring her back no matter what!”
Kotori smiled . She didn’t beam widely but everyone knew she’s overjoyed .
“That’s my Onii-san!”
Kotori stood up, it’s surprising how capable she looked as a leader even if she had a petite figure . Nobody thought about questioning her authority .
“Everyone! Get ready for the first stage of the operation!”
“Affirmative!”
Their blood started boiling after seeing how hyped the brother and sister pair looked . If their leaders are going at it at full force they don’t have any excuse to slack off .
The mood in this room hit an all-time high .
Kotori turned towards Tatsuwa .
“You are in charge of helping Shido, got that?”
“Yes, commander!”
Tatsuwa ran out of the control center, Wu Yan had already made his exit .
Kotori glanced over everyone and she grinned at the screen . Her eyes look like they are on fire .
“Well, let our date begin!”
===
Tengu city, near the entrance of a commercial building…
Two figures appeared out of nowhere . They looked at the towering building in front of them . They scanned their surroundings, it’s very quiet here but they both knew one wrong move and this quiet place will go up in flames .
“Is the loli here?”
Wu Yan asked Tatsuwa while rubbing his chin .
“Erm…”
Tatsuwa didn’t comment on Wu Yan’s loli statement . He answered the question .
“It’s what I got from the intel department, Hermit is definitely in the area . The AST members are also lurking around on standby orders . They probably don’t want to damage this area even if it means exposing Hermit . The reconstruction work and the finance involved would not be worth the effort . ”
“That’s oddly realistic of them…”
Wu Yan reached out before continuing .
“The stuff I ordered?”
“I-I brought it…”
Tatsuwa stuttered but he handed over the lollipop anyway . He placed the lollipop gently in Wu Yan’s hand while spotting a helpless expression .
He examined the candy in his hand before leaving a comment for Tatsuwa .
“You seemed well-versed in this kind of thing, don’t tell me you do this kind of thing on a regular basis?”
Tatsuwa almost smashed his head against a nearby wall .
“Squad leader, that’s not funny . ”
Wu Yan clicked his tongue .
“I am just complimenting you, this is a critical soft skill for any reasonable gentleman in the 21st century, there’s a bright future ahead for you…”
Tatsuwa helplessly laughed .
“Squad leader, are you really going to use a lollipop on a spirit?”
“Yatsuki, you still have much to learn…”
He slapped Yatsuki’s shoulder . He explained it to him as if it’s scientific knowledge .
“When dealing with lolis, make sure to keep your lollipop handy, they are infinitely effective against them . ”
“Is that true?”
Tatsuwa still had his doubts but since his squad leader said so reckoned that it would be better to just observe for himself .
“I wish you well…”
“Well, you will see…”
A figure flew his way into the building, leaving behind a “girl” who is wondering whether lollipops truly had such magical properties .
Wu Yan pressed a button on his communication device .
“Kotori, I need the location of Hermit . ”
Kotori replied .
“She’s a floor above you . ”
“One more floor huh?”
He stared at a doorway .
“That’s the one?”
“Yeap, go through there!”
Yatsuki’s voice came through the communication device .
“Squad leader, the AST members aren’t on the move but be swift, there are no guarantees that they will stay on standby . ”
Wu Yan nodded and he replied in the affirmative . He pushed the door in front of him and he entered into what appears to be a large room with poor lighting conditions .
