Chapter 57 Chapter 57 New Job
After the warm dinner time ended, Saionji Gyoon saw Saya and Atobe off, and soon received several calls.
The first contact message came from Fushimi, who followed the director's order to tell her the follow-up of the Maruyama Shoichi incident yesterday.
It turned out that with the help of the information secretly provided by Ango Sakaguchi, the police quickly located the hidden base of Maruyama Shoichi and Sone Tsuyoshi in Tokyo and found the 2.5 billion in stolen money.
Meanwhile, the police also found Matsudaira Ryoichirō, who had been imprisoned by Maruyama Shoichi. His tendons had been severed and he was locked in a room next to where the stolen money was hidden. When the police found him, Matsudaira had already fallen into a coma from not eating for a long time and dehydration, so they immediately rushed him to the hospital.
Fushimi told her that by the time he contacted her, Matsudaira Ryoichiro was no longer in danger of death, but his leg injury was so serious that even the doctors could not guarantee his successful rehabilitation. He might have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
Yuyin couldn't help but sigh. This could be considered as evil deeds being punished. Although Matsudaira Ryoichiro escaped the punishment of the law and luckily dodged death, he ended up with a lifelong disability. I wonder if he regrets letting Maruyama Shoichi take the blame instead of confessing his guilt himself.
Looking at the secret email interface, Yuyin quickly typed out a string of words: [You contacted me just to inform me of the follow-up to yesterday's incident, right?]
Fushimi: [Of course not :)]
Fushimi: [The director has a task for you.]
I knew this guy would only come to me for a reason, so it must be something bad if he contacted me!
Yuyin couldn't help but roll her eyes: "What kind of work is this? Even the capable Fushimi-sama can't handle it, and you actually want to trouble a little me?"
Fushimi: [This job really needs you.]
Fushimi: [This mission was assigned to us, Scepter 4, by the Non-Toki Institute. It's a protection mission, targeting students from Tokyo Hyotei Academy. As it happens, aren't you a student at Hyotei? The head of the department took a look at the mission and said they're short on staff right now, so they're giving it to you, who has the most free time. ^_^]
When Yuyin saw Fushimi say that the mission was to protect someone from Hyotei, she had a strange premonition in her heart.
Fushimi: [I've already sent you the specific mission information. You can look at it later. I'm going to get back to work. Bye~]
Yuyin: [Hey, hey! I haven't agreed yet!]
As soon as this sentence was uttered, there was no reaction from the other side. It was obvious that Fushimi was pretending to be dead. Yuyin was so angry that she slammed the table heavily.
After a while, a notification sound of a new email came from the mailbox. Yuyin clicked it and saw that it was the task information sent by Fushimi.
She opened the information and glanced at it casually, and quickly found the specific name of the mission target - Keigo Atobe.
As expected, the only person in Hyotei Academy who could work so hard to ask Scepter4 for protection was Keigo Atobe.
Thinking about how Atobe was almost in danger of his life yesterday because of the kidnapping by Tsuyoshi Sone, Yuin thought that maybe because of this, the Atobe family wanted to provide more security for Atobe.
At the end of the task information, it is stated that an appointment will be made to meet the protected person at a certain place at 6 pm tomorrow to identify himself and discuss the specific content of the commission.
When Yuyin saw the time, she knew it was after the tennis club finished training.
It seems that I have no choice but to take this task. The director was at the scene yesterday and must know that I know Jingwu. Given his habit of maximizing the use of resources, he has already decided to assign this task to me and will not change his mind.
Yuyin sighed helplessly, logged out of the secret mailbox, and was about to close the laptop when her cell phone rang.
She casually took out her phone and saw that the caller ID was her senior brother's number. She had a bad feeling in her heart, "Hello?"
"Yuyin, I have a job ^_^"
Yuyin: "..."
Believe it or not, I'm going to hang up the phone right now.
"Okay, this is a long-term protection mission. During the duration of the mission, you only need to complete one other mission each week. Pretty good deal, right?"
Yuyin was speechless: "Brother, you haven't forgotten that I'm still a student. I have to go to class every day. How can I complete long-term missions? As for protection missions, you can assign them to anyone in your sect."
On the other end of the line, Deba Shizuka chuckled. "Of course I haven't forgotten you're still a student. Don't worry, the mission location won't interfere with your studies. Since it's in Hyotei, isn't it most appropriate to send you there?"
Yuyin's heart skipped a beat. She knew she'd fallen into her senior brother's trap. He'd deliberately waited for her to use her student status as an excuse, then revealed the fact that the mission was in Hyotei. This way, she couldn't use that as an excuse to refuse. And if it was in Hyotei, it couldn't be such a coincidence, could it? Could it be...
As expected, the senior brother continued, "And the target of the mission is someone you know, the young master of the Atobe Group, Atobe Keigo. I remember you have a good relationship with him. In that case, I'll give this commission to you~"
"etc!"
Before Yuyin could open her mouth to object, the senior brother over there had already made his own decision: "Ah, the client has arranged to meet at the coffee shop in front of Hyotei Academy at 6 pm tomorrow. You should be familiar with the address, so remember to go~"
"Hey, hey—"
Before she could say anything else, her senior brother hung up the phone.
“Really?”
Yuyin pressed the hang-up button and was about to call Atobe Keigo, whom she had just separated from less than an hour ago, to ask about the matter, when the phone screen lit up again. This time it was Senior Gojo's number.
As soon as she pressed the answer button, Gojo-senpai's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone: "Yuyin-chan~ Long time no see, did you miss me~"
"No."
"Oh, Yuyin-chan, please don't say one thing and mean another. I miss you so much, Senior~"
"Speak humanly, what's the matter?"
"Oh, Yuyin-chan, you are so cold and heartless. Can't senior come to you if there is nothing wrong?"
"hehe."
"Okay, actually, I do have something to tell you." After pretending to be rich for a while, Gojo Satoru finally returned to normal and talked to her about business. "Don't the association often give us tasks? I don't know what happened today, but they suddenly issued a long-term protection mission. We have to protect a rich young man..."
Hearing this familiar opening line, Yuyin couldn't help but ask: "You mean..."
"Yeah, you think this is weird too, right? The association wants to please the rich and powerful families, but it assigns the task to us sorcerers. I'm a special-grade sorcerer, the best in the world, and I have countless tasks every day. How can I have time to be a personal bodyguard for a rich young man? Even my well-behaved and lovely students don't have that much time to waste~"
Yuyin was more cautious this time. She didn't reply, "Have you forgotten that I'm a student too?" Instead, she asked directly, "Tell me, why did you suddenly think of entrusting me with this? Wouldn't it be better if you asked Senior Ichichi to assign this kind of thing to other sorcerers? I remember he's the assistant supervisor at the technical college now, so he's in charge of the assignments, right?"
"It just so happens that the target of this quest is a student of Hyotei Academy. I stumbled upon the quest list that Ijichi had, and I remember that you, Tamao-chan, are currently studying there. If another sorcerer took on this quest and stayed around Hyotei Academy for a long time, wouldn't the chance of spotting you increase significantly? So I immediately snatched this quest from Ijichi. Tamao-chan, you see how much I care about you~"
"You mean I should thank you?"
Gojo Satoru replied bluntly, "You're welcome~ Actually, this mission isn't difficult. You'll meet with the person you're protecting at 6pm tomorrow and tell him we've accepted the commission. After that, you'll just need to regularly clear out the cursed spirits around the person's daily activities that might pose a threat to him. It's pretty simple, right? Yuyin-chan, if you don't object, I'll take that as your consent~"
At this point, does she still have room to object?
However, what the senior said was not entirely wrong. If this long-term protection mission fell into the hands of another sorcerer, the risk of her being exposed would indeed be greatly increased. Only if the senior and his students who knew of her existence took on the mission could the impact on her be minimized. The senior used this as an excuse to push the task to her, and she really could not refuse.
Of course, the main reason is that this task is almost the same as the two she received before. In this case, it doesn't matter if she takes it again, haha.
"Okay then. Tell me the name of the person you're trying to reach and the address they're going to meet you at. I'll be there tomorrow."
"Oh, I knew you were the most understanding, Gyoen-chan. Let me see the person for the mission..." Gojo Satoru took the letter of commission and glanced at it before continuing, "Atobe Keigo, judging by the photo, he's a handsome boy, though not as handsome as me. The meeting place is at the cafe outside the gate of Hyotei Academy."
After hanging up the phone with Gojo-senpai, Yuyin let out a loud "Ah!" and lay down on the bed, wondering, "Has the Atobe family gone too far this time?" Even if she got a call from Ango-san now, asking her to protect Atobe, she wouldn't be surprised.
But think about it, this is unlikely. Scepter 4 was commissioned by the Atobe family through their relationship with the Tokiin, and the Special Ability Agency is a purely official secret agency. Unless Atobe becomes an important position such as Prime Minister or Member of Parliament in the future, it is impossible for him to ask the Special Ability Agency to come out for protection.
Before Yuyin could finish this thought, she heard her cell phone ringing again. She turned around and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. A bad premonition suddenly came to her mind.
"Hello, who is it?"
"Is this Saionji? I'm Sakaguchi Ango."
That... I just said it casually, it's absolutely impossible, right? ! !
However, reality is meant to be broken. Sakaguchi Ango first apologized for using special means to obtain Tamane's contact number from the school, and then revealed the true intention. Due to pressure from the foreign superpower organization Clock Tower Servant, the Superpower Special Agent Department needs to protect a teenager with dual British and Japanese citizenship. She happened to know this person, and she was very familiar with him. It was Keigo Atobe who was involved in the Sone Tsuyoshi kidnapping incident yesterday.
After much deliberation, Ango Sakaguchi decided that in order to avoid giving the Clock Tower attendants an excuse to interfere in the island's internal affairs, he could only let Tamane take charge of this matter.
What else could Yuyin say? Could she say no? She would answer once, or four times.
Well, now she understood that in this world, having money and power does not mean that one can do whatever he wants, but it does allow one to do things that ordinary people cannot, such as having four major organizations/forces assign her tasks at the same time.
-----------------------
The author has something to say: The bad news is that she received four new work assignments in one night.
The good news is that these four tasks are the same, so she only needs to do them once =V=
