Crossover Anime: Infinite God Creation, Yukinoka's Familia

"Of course." Kijiri Kaori replied without hesitation, her face full of confidence.

"That's good." Director Ito stood up and said to everyone, "Colleagues, the meeting is now adjourned."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was the first to walk out of the conference room.

Then the other police superintendents and inspectors also got up to leave.

Only Tachibana Kirika remained seated, watching everyone leave one by one. Only when Hattori Heizo, the last to leave, walked past her did she smile and greet him, "Inspector Hattori, how about grabbing a drink after get off work sometime?"

Hattori Heizo's lips twitched, as if he had seen a plague god he wanted to avoid at all costs, and he quickly hurried out of the conference room.

"Honestly, why are you running so fast? Are you afraid I'll attack you?"

Kaori Tachibana rested her chin on her hand, shook her head, and then looked at Ryoko Yakushiji, who was organizing documents by the podium, and teased, "Oh, Ryoko-san, how are you feeling right now?"

Ryoko Yakushiji gave her a cold glance without responding.

Seeing her attitude, Tachibana Kirika immediately said with a grin, "Don't look at me like that. Look, you ruined my prey that was almost in my mouth, and I'm not even angry, but you're giving me attitude? That's just too much."

"Stop with the pretense."

Ryoko Yakushiji tidied up the documents, tapped the table lightly, and said, "Given the strength Sharon displayed at the end, even if your people had rushed into the room, they would have all been taken care of by her."

"You actually dared to guarantee in public that you could deal with this kind of monster in the future. You've got some nerve."

After hearing this, Tachibana Kiri laughed out loud: "Oh dear, when it comes to applying for funding, you have to put it nicely first. I've already toned it down a lot, okay?"

After saying that, Tachibana Kirika glanced at Yakushiji Ryoko again, narrowed her eyes and said, "Also, you clearly knew the truth, but you didn't expose me in public. It seems that you really suffered a big blow this time, Ryoko."

"Do you need my help? You don't look too well right now."

"I have a pretty handsome subordinate of mine; I can have him come over and give you a massage to relax!"

"This has nothing to do with you."

Ryoko Yakushiji tucked the folder under her arm, gave her a cold glare, and said, "I didn't expose you because I didn't want to interfere with your own suicide attempt."

At this point, Ryoko Yakushiji sneered, "But this is fine too. Letting you and that pink-haired princess continue to wallow in your dreams of world peace is not a bad ending."

After saying that, Ryoko Yakushiji walked out of the conference room without looking back, leaving only the sound of her high heels clicking on the ground as she walked away.

Watching her departing figure, Tachibana Kirika stroked her chin, gazing at the open door, and murmured thoughtfully, "Beyond her capabilities? I don't think so."

After saying that, Kijima Kaori's lips curled up, revealing a playful smile.

"vomit!"

The cold water splashed on her face, accompanied by the sensation of violent vomiting, and entered Yakushiji Ryoko's consciousness.

The icy sensation, mixed with the still throbbing pain from the emergency treatment on her shoulder, slowly brought her back to her senses.

She slowly raised her head and looked at her pale and haggard face in the mirror.

Ryoko Yakushiji wiped her lips, smearing lipstick on her cheek. She stared intently at herself in the mirror, her gaze fixed on those eerily red eyes, and murmured to herself, "Is it the effect of that pill...?"

Ryoko Yakushiji instantly remembered the pill that "Sharon" had forcibly fed to her.

Within half an hour of swallowing the pill, she rushed to a secret hospital to induce vomiting and have her stomach pumped, but ultimately failed to completely remove the pill's components.

Less than an hour later, her body began to act strangely. A strong desire welled up in her heart, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

Ryoko Yakushiji's face still showed anger as she thought of those incompetent doctors who submitted reports stating that "the pills are unlikely to contain any harmful ingredients."

She knew her own body best. That ruthless nun must have used mystical methods to tamper with her, but she just didn't feel it was time to use her yet, so she didn't do it for the time being.

"Find an opportunity to have Meihua transfer all those doctors abroad."

The fact that the heir of the Yakushiji family has been drugged and controlled by members of a secret organization must not be revealed. If it is exposed, even if she is the family's chosen successor, she will most likely be disqualified.

With the power she currently wields, she is not yet capable of making her family bear the risk of being remotely controlled by others.

Thinking of this, Yakushiji Ryoko couldn't help but recall the culprit who had ruined her life, and she gritted her teeth, whispering, "Yakushiji Katsuhiko!"

She slammed her fist on the edge of the sink in anger, like an enraged female wolf.

If it weren't for that foolish Katsuhiko Yakushiji, who secretly colluded with Mari Tenbun without his family's knowledge, she wouldn't have hastily intervened in Tachibana Kirika's actions, trying to kill Sharon, who knew the truth, only to be outmaneuvered by her and end up like this.

Ryoko Yakushiji, who has always been self-centered, simply cannot tolerate the fact that she is being controlled by others, especially since this is due to the foolish actions of her incompetent elders, which makes it even more unacceptable to her.

Although she didn't want to take her anger out on others, she didn't want to be implicated by useless people.

Filled with resentment, Ryoko Yakushiji expressionlessly picked up her water-soaked phone and dialed a number.

After the phone rang a few times, a cool voice came through: "Ryoko, the doctor's arrangements have been made. Is there anything else you need?"

Upon hearing this voice, Yakushiji Ryoko didn't waste any words and coldly ordered, "Plum Blossom, post an assassination mission against Yakushiji Katsuhiko on the dark web, and try to get the Fuuga Clan to take it on."

Without hesitation, Yakushiji Ryoko ordered her personal maid, Plum Blossom, to assassinate her uncle, even planning to arrange the most painful way for him to die.

The Wind Fang Clan is a secret organization under the Kannagi clan, a sorcerer family in the island nation. All members are sorcerers skilled in wind magic and specialize in handling all sorts of shady matters.

With them taking action, even the Yakushiji family wouldn't dare to pursue the matter easily. After all, the Kaga clan is backed by the Kannagi family, the strongest fire mage family in the island nation. In addition, with her working secretly within the clan, it would be easy for them to suppress the death of Yakushiji Katsuhiko.

Of course, the commission for such a mission, which involves targeting specific individuals and assassinating high-ranking family members, is incredibly high, with each job costing tens of millions of US dollars. But Yakushiji Ryoko has no shortage of money and is willing to spend it to solve the problem.

"...I understand." Maid Meihua hung up the phone immediately after receiving the instruction, without the slightest hesitation.

After giving the order, Ryoko Yakushiji calmed down a bit and had the energy to notice the cracks on the sink tiles that she had made by punching them earlier.

Looking at the cracks, Yakushiji Ryoko suddenly turned her head, staring at her own reflection in the mirror with reddened pupils, and a moment of silence fell over her.

Outside the women's restroom at the Metropolitan Police Department, Tachibana Kirigaya, a cigarette dangling from her lips, leaned against the light gray tiled wall, slowly exhaling a smoke ring and muttering to herself, "So that's it, the power of the devil..."

Thinking of Yakushiji Ryoko in the bathroom, Tachibana Kirika finally understood where that strange energy she had felt in the conference room came from.

"It seems that Lady Yakushiji has been set up this time... Was it Mari Tenbun, or that seemingly innocent Sharon?"

Actually, the scent of orange mist leans more towards the latter.
