"Oh no, is it this late already? Soukaku, we have to finish breakfast quickly!" Liu inadvertently glanced at the clock on the wall and couldn't help but urge. In fact, she didn't need to say it; Soukaku was already eating in large mouthfuls.
"Don't worry, there's still time."
Although Liu nodded in agreement with Wise's words, her speed did not slow down at all. After quickly finishing breakfast, she was about to do the dishes but was stopped by Wise.
"Liu, don't you and Soukaku have to go to work in a bit? Go and get ready first. I'll do the dishes. I have to go back to the video store later."
"Mhm, then I'll leave it to you." Liu nodded, then took Soukaku to get ready. After everything was in order, Wise had also finished cleaning the kitchen.
The three of them went out together. Suddenly, Tsukishiro Liu felt someone take her hand. She thought it was Soukaku, but the hand that held hers was a little larger. She turned her head and saw it was Wise. The latter smiled at her. Liu's small face couldn't help but turn red. She reached up to adjust her glasses, pretending to look elsewhere nonchalantly. But her palm squeezed slightly, holding Wise's hand tighter. At this moment, she no longer had any worries. After all, the current Wise and she were truly a family.
"Ah! Sister Liu and big brother Wise are holding hands! It's not fair! I want to too!" Although Soukaku said this, she didn't try to insert herself in the middle but went around to Wise's other side and took his hand.
"Okay, let's go!"
The three of them didn't separate until they reached the station. After returning to the video store, Wise was immediately subjected to an interrogation from Belle. Though the latter could probably guess the result just by guessing.
"Alright! Now that the head of Section 6 has been taken down by my brother, the next step is just to take down Miss Miyabi, who is the muscle. In that case, Section 6 will be ours! Ouch..." Belle cried out in pain, covering her forehead with her hand. Wise on the side had already retracted his karate chop.
"That kind of thing is impossible."
The impossible Wise was referring to was not the matter of winning over Hoshimi Miyabi, but Belle's naive idea. The latter playfully stuck out her tongue. She didn't pay too much attention to her brother's punishment and chose to go upstairs to take a shower and change her clothes at this time. Because there were no clothes for him to change into at Liu's house, he could only wear the set from yesterday. Now his body still had the lingering fragrance of Tsukishiro Liu's body.
And during the shower, he finally had time to check the reward he had obtained from Tsukishiro Liu with peace of mind.
[Fully Conquered Target: Tsukishiro Liu]
[Reward Generated: Pinnacle of Tachi Arts (S)]
[Description: This talent will cause the Master's understanding of the tachi to reach the pinnacle of the secular world. All bladed weapons in your hands will be like an extension of your arm.]
(Note: Ordinary blades may not be able to withstand the full exertion of the Master.)
After obtaining the talent, Wise did indeed feel some changes, but he had nothing in his hands to practice with. At the same time, he was also a little confused. Compared to Tsukishiro Liu, wouldn't it be more reasonable for this talent to appear on Hoshimi Miyabi?
However, Wise didn't think too much about it. Since he already had the talent, then he should get a tachi first. But from the introduction, an ordinary tachi wouldn't do. Otherwise, he would have just bought one from the system shop to save trouble. As for where to get a good blade? He would have to ask someone else about this later. Anyway, our Sixth Street is full of talent...
Meanwhile, on the other side, at the Anti-Hollow department.
Tsukishiro Liu's beautiful face still had a smile on it. Although she was usually like this, this time the smile was filled with happiness. It was a clear difference from the elegance of her usual polite behavior. So much so that many of the Anti-Hollow department members who passed by her couldn't help but think, 'Did something good happen to Vice Section Chief Liu today?' Some of the more familiar members would even ask casually. This made Liu, whose thoughts had been seen through, both confused and a little embarrassed.
It wasn't until she returned to the Section 6 office that Asaba Yuma, who was about to greet her, his first sentence also became... "Did something good happen to the Vice Section Chief?"
"Asaba, how come even you are saying this? Is it that obvious?" Liu was so embarrassed she even used her hand to smooth the hair that had fallen on her cheek. Soukaku on the side was as usual and didn't look anything special. But after being asked by Asaba Yuma, Soukaku immediately raised her hand happily.
"I know, I know! Sister Liu, she... mmm-mmph!"
"Soukaku, you probably didn't have enough for breakfast, right? There are still snacks on your desk. Go and have some first."
"Oh, yay!" Soukaku happily ran back to her seat. Although she hadn't revealed anything, Tsukishiro Liu's action made the other two in the office even more curious.
"Liu, did something happen?" Hoshimi Miyabi came forward and asked with some curiosity. But it was clear that Tsukishiro Liu had no intention of answering her.
"If I remember correctly, there seems to be a debriefing meeting in the afternoon. If Section Chief Miyabi doesn't let me prepare in peace now, I'm afraid..."
"I understand. Don't worry, no one will disturb you." Hoshimi Miyabi nodded seriously. Compared to her curiosity, being able to avoid the debriefing meeting was more important.
And Asaba Yuma, seeing this situation, silently returned to his seat. Although he had given up the idea of asking, it didn't stop him from guessing in his heart. "Looking at the Vice Section Chief like this, it's just like her behavior after falling in love. But a person like her, in love?"
Yuma shook his head. He really couldn't imagine the situation of the Vice Section Chief having a partner, because Liu was too outstanding. Whether it was her mother-like gentle and meticulous treatment of the people around her, or her strength or work ability, for such a strong woman, was there really someone who could be worthy of her?
But soon, Asaba Yuma stopped thinking about this problem and instead thought, since the Vice Section Chief was in such a good mood today, would the probability of his leave being approved be a little higher? He was about to act, but he was forced back by the gaze of Hoshimi Miyabi, who did not want to attend the debriefing meeting.
At this very moment, Tsukishiro Liu was also whispering instructions to Soukaku beside her. "Soukaku, can you promise me not to tell anyone about yesterday's matter?"
"Eh, why, Sister Liu?"
"There are many reasons. In short, I feel a little embarrassed right now. If possible, I want to take the initiative to explain it myself later. Can you promise me, Soukaku?"
"No problem, Sister Liu! I guarantee to complete the mission!" Soukaku patted her chest with her hand. The movement was so loud that it attracted the attention of the other two in the office.
Liu, seeing this, was also a little helpless. She really had no way with Soukaku. After all, she was still a child. To instruct her like this could only make her pay attention. Who knows when she would let it slip.
