Magical inferiority: quantum control Chapter 154

10:15 AM, Yokohama International Conference Center, Tea Area.

“Do you have time for a quick chat?”

“Huh?”

Seeing the woman across from her, carrying a tea tray and wearing a shirt, Ono Haruka immediately recognized her as the ‘Electronic Witch,’ Fujibayashi Kyoko.

In fact, the moment she saw Fujibayashi Kyoko, she had already performed a photo recognition of her identity. However, the information was very vague and had no practical value; her specific identity (affiliation) still needed to be verified.

“Yes, please!”

Ono Haruka, wondering about the purpose of the other party seeking her out, did not refuse.

“Thank you.”

After thanking her, Fujibayashi Kyoko sat across from Ono Haruka, then held a teacup, staring silently at Ono Haruka. Ono Haruka grew increasingly nervous under her gaze, her hands resting on her legs under the table, her expression somewhat uneasy and constrained, her eyes also looking at Fujibayashi Kyoko across from her. She appeared very reserved.

“Being stared at like this really makes one uncomfortable.”

Seeing Ono Haruka’s reserved demeanor, Fujibayashi Kyoko couldn’t help but speak.

“I’m sorry.”

Ono Haruka apologized instinctively.

“It’s alright. It’s my honor to pique the interest of Miss Ghost.”

Hearing Fujibayashi Kyoko reveal her background, Ono Haruka immediately had a target for her suspicions.

After all, not just anyone could casually know her identity.

“It should be my honor that the Electronic Witch knows me.”

Ono Haruka retorted, showing no weakness.

“So, what brings you to approach me?”

“You should know without me saying.”

Fujibayashi Kyoko shifted her gaze from Ono Haruka, looked at the teacup in her hand, and said lightly.

“I’m sorry, I’m not as excellent as you.”

Playing riddles?

Seeing Ono Haruka’s hand tremble slightly as she held the teacup, Fujibayashi Kyoko frowned slightly.

“You’re too modest.”

“Kokonoe-sensei gave you a very high evaluation!”

“Ah!”

Ono Haruka was slightly startled upon hearing the words ‘Kokonoe-sensei’.

“I’ll get straight to the point, let’s just speak plainly.”

Hearing Fujibayashi Kyoko’s words, Ono Haruka’s grip on the teacup tightened once more.

“No need to worry, you’re just focused on your work, and my suggestion is merely that we don’t interfere with each other, nothing more.”

Fujibayashi Kyoko naturally noticed Ono Haruka’s reaction, but she didn’t mind.

“I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

“The higher-ups won’t hold you accountable.”

Fujibayashi Kyoko lured again.

“The only ones who will be held accountable are those who show excessive curiosity towards my important partner.”

“That’s all!”

Fujibayashi Kyoko had a look of complete confidence, not at all worried about Ono Haruka’s attitude.

This casual demeanor made Ono Haruka realize that the other party had nothing to fear, so she merely frowned and said nothing in rebuttal.

Seeing Ono Haruka’s tacit agreement, Fujibayashi Kyoko knew her objective had been achieved.

As Shiba Tatsuya’s strength gradually became apparent, he began to transcend the scope of a high school student. Although Chiba Yoruu was blocking the way, some people still showed excessive curiosity towards Shiba Tatsuya.

This was not good, very not good!

Curiosity could kill!

“Oh, right!”

Fujibayashi Kyoko, who had already stood up and was about to leave, suddenly turned back to look at Ono Haruka as if she had remembered something.

“It’s better not to be overly curious about some people. Even I wouldn’t dare to be overly curious!”

“This is merely a kind reminder. Goodbye!”

With that, she left without looking back.

“Chiba Yoruu…?”

Ono Haruka knew why Fujibayashi Kyoko had come to see her; it was undoubtedly about Shiba Tatsuya. However, the subsequent reminder puzzled her for a moment, and then a name immediately appeared in her mind: Chiba Yoruu!

As for why the initial objective wasn’t Chiba Yoruu, it was simple.

Chiba Yoruu’s demeanor, actions, and behavior were irregular, and his actions lacked any clear purpose.

More importantly, Ono Haruka still didn’t understand what Chiba Yoruu’s code of conduct was.

Fujibayashi Kyoko coming to talk terms with me at this time indicates an unspeakable secret between Shiba Tatsuya and Fujibayashi Kyoko and Shiba Tatsuya. Are they from the Ministry of Defense, or…

“Lu Ganghu escaped?”

Just as Ono Haruka was still trying to figure out who Fujibayashi Kyoko truly was, Fujibayashi Kyoko, who had arrived at a private room and just opened her laptop to contact Kazama Genshin, immediately stood up from her seat in surprise upon seeing the latest information, genuinely dumbfounded.

“Ah!”

“Mmm!”

Fujibayashi Kyoko suddenly remembered she was outside and had no strict confidentiality measures, so she couldn’t help but cover her mouth.

“Forgive this subordinate for presuming to ask, but is the message reliable?”

“Yes!”

“The escort vehicle was attacked on its way to Yokosuka Prison.”

“Why transfer him at such a sensitive time?”

Fujibayashi Kyoko asked softly, a little puzzled.

“Fortunately, because there’s a new equipment test scheduled for tomorrow in Hodogaya, preparations for deployment have already been made.”

“They are now preparing to depart and move towards your location.”

“Estimated arrival time is 15:00.”

As for why Lu Ganghu was specifically transferred at this time, who knew!

Kazama Genshin still wanted to ask those guys what they were thinking!

“Received!”

“This subordinate will closely monitor the situation.”

Fujibayashi Kyoko immediately replied.

“Thank you, Second Lieutenant.”

Fujibayashi Kyoko straightened her body and saluted.

“Oh, right.”

“If the situation escalates, you can consider requesting Chiba Yoruu’s help.”

Kazama Genshin suddenly remembered that First High School, besides Shiba Tatsuya, the Major General of the Great Black Dragon, also had the unfathomably powerful Chiba Yoruu!

During this time, they had spent a lot of effort trying to track down Chiba Yoruu’s background, but they hadn’t found a single thing.

This further elevated Chiba Yoruu’s status in Kazama Genshin’s mind, now on par with Shiba Tatsuya.

One must know that he was aware of Shiba Tatsuya’s background, unlike those outside who were still in the speculative stage!

This showed the extent of Kazama Genshin’s of Chiba Yoruu.

Moreover, they still hadn’t figured out which faction Chiba Yoruu belonged to. If Chiba Yoruu faced a crisis, it might even draw out the person behind him.

“But, Chiba Yoruu is a high school student…”

“Does his combat power seem like a high school student’s?”

Kazama Genshin laughed upon hearing Fujibayashi Kyoko’s words.

“Uh…”

“I know the competition doesn’t want to involve students. I was just saying ‘what if’!”

Although Kazama Genshin had the idea of testing the forces behind Chiba Yoruu, it was their duty to protect the homeland, and it was unthinkable to ask students to help them, the soldiers. It was just that Chiba Yoruu was inscrutable to him, and he felt that he might truly be of great help.

As for testing the forces behind him, that could only be considered a pleasant surprise.

“Yes!”
