As soon as she stepped out of the villa, Sister Bei burst out laughing.

I was in a very good mood today because I watched a great show.

Now that he had bullied Shiho Miyano again, he couldn't help but feel even happier.

Thinking of Ai's angry yet helpless expression, Bayonetta felt exceptionally pleased.

"What a beautiful day!"

...

The FBI's secret base in Mika.

Judy, who had just been released from confinement by Nendoroid and was still unaware of what had happened, rushed back immediately, filled with worry.

"James, what's going on with you guys?"

As soon as Judy pushed open the door, she saw James sitting in the living room with a serious expression, and immediately went up to him and asked.

When James saw her return, he was first pleasantly surprised, then somewhat puzzled, "Judy, are you alright? Where did you go this afternoon? Why couldn't we get in touch with you?"

He even thought that his excellent subordinate was gone!

During the time he couldn't get in touch with Judy, he even started thinking about how many tables to host.

"It's a long story..." Faced with James's barrage of questions, Judy was at a loss for words and didn't know where to begin.

"Then let's get to the point!" James urged, disagreeing with the idea.

"Okay..." Looking at the inquisitive group leader in front of her, Judy sighed helplessly and could only summarize what had happened to her this afternoon as simply as possible.

She was held captive for an afternoon by a strange, moving, pink clay figure that looked almost exactly like her.

"Fuck you!"

After Judy finished explaining the situation, James couldn't help but swear.

How can this involve discriminatory treatment?

What era are we living in? What happened to gender equality?

Why should they fight to the death, while Judy can leisurely spend the whole afternoon drinking tea and playing chess?

Just because she's pretty?

Judy was initially puzzled as to why the team leader was so angry after hearing this.

Then, after James finished recounting what they had faced that afternoon in a mournful tone, he also felt some sympathy for them.

"So Shuichi is in the hospital right now?"

Judy's eyes were filled with pity, and she silently thanked Yuzuru Hanyu in her heart.

She didn't want this to happen!

She also wanted to face the battle and the difficulties together with her colleagues.

But the conditions don't allow it!

"Yes! The doctor said that Shuichi's injuries are beyond saving, and if he doesn't want his life to be in danger, he has to have it removed."

James spoke in a low, melancholy tone, his eyes filled with a sorrow that seemed to drip with tears.

After working so hard for so long, we ended up protecting nothing.

A capable general has been turned into a eunuch—who can accept that?!

Judy felt a little uncomfortable under that look and quickly changed the subject, "Um, about what happened between Yuzuru and you guys this afternoon, has it been reported to headquarters?"

"I've already reported everything, and now we're waiting for their response after their meeting." James's expression turned serious when discussing serious matters, the slight resentment he had shown earlier disappearing. "Hopefully, they'll have some clues, so we can know exactly what our target is this time!"

Just thinking about how he was chased by those clay figures that were activated by technology or some mysterious force a few hours earlier made James's hand holding the teacup tremble uncontrollably.

He almost died.

After Judy offered him a few words of comfort, she said, "James, shouldn't I also report this situation to my superiors?"

"Well, since Yuzuru didn't attack you, it proves that our investigation was correct."

James nodded, gave Judy a meaningful look, and got up to walk into the house.

"Heh~"

Watching James's retreating figure, Judy gave a self-deprecating smile; she certainly understood what it meant.

The intelligence report states that Yuzuru Hanyu is extremely lecherous, having several girlfriends and even maids and grooms at home.

"So he's taken a liking to me?" Judy murmured softly, her head lowered, the image of Yuzuru Nanami's handsome face and his mysterious methods flashing through her mind.

She secretly pondered that if she could use her beauty to gain Hanyu Nan's help and thus obtain the opportunity to take revenge on that hateful woman, it might not be entirely unacceptable.

After all, as an intelligence agent, she was already mentally prepared and understood that many things in this world come at a price.

As for Shuichi Akai...

Thinking of this, Judy raised her head with a complicated expression.

For some reason, ever since seeing Yuzuru's unusually doting attitude towards Miyano Akemi at his house a few days ago, Judy felt that she and Shuichi were destined never to go back to the way things were.

Even when she learned that Shuichi could no longer be a man, she only felt a little regretful and her emotions did not fluctuate much.

Judy didn't know whether her relentless pursuit of Shuichi Akai was out of affection or a desire to use his abilities to avenge her parents.

"Heh...no wonder everyone says I was born to be a secret agent..."

Having seen better people, I can no longer accept the humble version of myself I was then or am now.

...

"Hey, isn't this Gin?"

After leaving Yuzuru Hanyu's house, Sister Bei immediately went to one of the organization's bases in Beika.

Seeing Gin silently drinking his wine with his head down, she didn't hold back in teasing him, "I heard you were going to deal with the traitor Shuichi Akai today. I wonder how it went?"

Bei asked the question knowingly; she came here specifically to watch another good show.

"..."

Gin's eyes twitched involuntarily a few times, a nameless anger rising within him, and he really wanted to curse.

He didn't believe Vermouth wouldn't know what had happened; this woman was clearly deliberately trying to provoke him.

However, thinking of the person behind Vermouth, Gin suppressed his anger and did not lash out.

"Judging from your expression, you didn't fail, did you?" Bayonetta's sarcasm was palpable. "No way! You, Gin-sama, meticulously planned this scheme for so many days, and it actually failed?"

Gin, unable to bear Bayonetta's sarcastic remarks any longer, slammed his glass heavily on the table.

The glass clinked against the table, a clear sound that seemed to be an outpouring of his inner anger.

Bayonetta wasn't intimidated by Gin's actions. Instead, she leaned against the wall, waiting with amusement for what would happen next.

However, she was not very satisfied with the result.

"Tch!" Bayonetta scoffed disdainfully as she watched Gin turn and walk away with a cold face and without saying a word.

She thought Gin was about to lose his temper!

With that kind of emotional control, no wonder he's the most capable person in the distillery.

After watching the spectacle and realizing she couldn't make a point of it, Sister Bei left without hesitation.

She came here specifically to mock Gin.

To vent the anger from past conflicts within the organization.
