Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

"Alright, keep a close eye on the rest of you, especially that guy I mentioned earlier named Yamase Yuya, keep a close watch on him."

“Understood. By the way, boss, speaking of Yuya Yamase, we recently obtained new information about him.”

"Hmm? You go ahead."

"Didn't I mention before that we captured the message he sent, but the content was encrypted? Just now, the 'messenger' sent a message saying that they have cracked the content."

"What content?"

"The message said that the boss was going to fight with that student named Tokiwa Ren, nothing else," the employee on the other end of the phone said. "However, I wonder if Tokiwa Ren's later acquisition of that small AS is directly related to this matter."

"I see..."

Isaac also began to ponder.

He had a duel with Ren Tokiwa on the rooftop at noon, and he was able to get a small AS during the first class in the afternoon. If Ren Tokiwa himself had not had any contact with 'Amalgam', then it is very likely that their people received the news immediately, or that they had been monitoring Shirasaki High School all along.

"What about Tokiwa Ren? How's the interrogation going?"

"After three injections of confession agent, he said everything he needed to say, but it was all irrelevant and had nothing to do with 'mercury alloy'."

“Well, I have a general understanding of the situation. You guys continue with your work,” Isaac said. “Try to deal with Tokiwa Ren.”

"Yes."

The call ended at that point.

Walking back into the living room, Ayana had already gone to the bathroom to take a shower, leaving Robert alone standing there.

"Young master, what's this girl's name?"

“Ayana Fujisawa, I came to Japan to investigate and protect her.”

"I see. By the way, does Miss Fujisawa have any spare clothes?" Robert asked. "I doubt Miss Fujisawa can fit into the clothes that Levi and I have."

"That is a problem...please wait a moment."

Isaac ran back to his room and soon came down with a sailor uniform from Shirasaki Middle School.

"Please take this garment inside in a bit."

"Where did you get all these clothes, young master?"

"It was given to me by a traitor in my company. I never expected it would come in handy at this time." Isaac's expression was quite subtle when he said this.

Even if they could be used, these people would still be beaten up when they got back.

Time flew by, and Levi had already finished showering and come out. The pizza she had ordered earlier arrived at that time.

"Okay, let's eat." Just as Levi was about to start eating, she heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom on the first floor.

Looking around, he found Robert and Isaac were both there.

"Is there anyone else here besides us?"

“She’s the young master’s classmate,” Robert said. “It seems to be a girl in the same class.”

"Tch, I didn't expect that even a junior high school girl can't be taken lightly?"

Levi's expression right now showed she was extremely unhappy.

“She is an important target for the young master to protect, so you mustn’t be rude to her,” Robert said with a light laugh. “Besides, I believe the master and madam would be very satisfied if such a proper girl became the young mistress.”

"Hey, what do you mean?"

"It means that a normal girl is more suitable for you, young master, than a thug like you who blows people's heads off everywhere in Roanapur."

"You want to fight, don't you?"

"No, you are no match for me."

"Huh!? If you're so capable, go outside and fight me one-on-one!"

Just as the two were arguing, the sound of water suddenly stopped.

"It seems Ms. Fujisawa has finished showering as well. I'll go and deliver her some clothes."

As she spoke, Robert took the sailor suit that Isaac had given her and headed towards the bathroom.

"You damn maid."

Levi grumbled a few words of annoyance, stood up, and walked over to Isaac, who was looking at his phone. She sat down directly on his lap.

"What's wrong, Levi? Why do you look so grumpy?" Isaac looked at Levi sitting on his lap, puzzled.

"Isaac, have you been sexually frustrated lately?"

"what?"

"Stop pretending." Levi smiled and wrapped her arms around Isaac's neck, leaning against him in an ambiguous position. "So, you're finally going to make your move on middle schoolers?"

"A middle school student? You made a move?" Isaac looked at Levi in ​​confusion, then suddenly realized something.

“Oh right, for some reasons I did sink some troublesome junior high students in Tokyo Bay, but it was all necessary to ensure IW could continue to stand on the international stage,” Isaac replied. “What happened? Did someone complain to you?”

"Huh? Sinking in Tokyo Bay?"

Isaac didn't understand what Levi was saying, and Levi didn't understand what Isaac was saying either.

The two seemed to be talking about different things.

At that moment, Ayana also came out after changing her clothes.

"I'm done washing, Rentaro, I'm so grateful... Ah!"

She was about to thank him when she noticed that Levi was sitting on Isaac's lap and had her arms around him.

This scene made her face turn flustered once again.

Chapter 657: The Unexpected Confession

Ayana looked at Revy, who was in an ambiguous position with Isaac, and guessed who she was.

'What a beautiful woman! Who is she? Is she Rentaro's girlfriend?'

'She has a great figure, and that's... a tattoo on her right shoulder?'

Levi also saw Ayana come out of the bathroom, get off Isaac, and walk up to her.

For some reason, Ayana felt an immense sense of oppression emanating from the woman in front of her.

"You're Isaac's classmate at school?"

Levi, who was a head taller than Ayana, looked down at her. Because of her bloody experience in Roanapura, she had an uncontrollable murderous aura, which made Ayana feel very uncomfortable.

'How scary... and she was speaking English? A foreigner?'

Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, Robert stepped forward and grabbed Levi.

"Hey! You damn maid, let me go!"

"Miss Fujisawa is the young master's guest, so please don't be rude."

After saying that, he grabbed Levi by the collar and dragged her behind him.

Isaac also stood up, walked over to Ayana, and patted her on the shoulder.

"Let's talk upstairs."

"Um……"

……

Isaac invited Ayaka to his room.

This was Ayana's first time in a boy's room, and it was very tidy. This was because Roberto, as a maid, at least had the ability to keep things organized.

Normally, the documents inside would probably be scattered in a mess.

Ayana sat on Isaac's bed, while Isaac sat on a chair beside her and asked, "Can you tell me what happened? I saw you running here in the rain, did you run into some trouble?"

Upon hearing the question, Ayana pursed her lips and whispered, "I... I guess I was abandoned..."

"Ok?"

“I was bullied by all my classmates at school, and no one came to help me, not even those who used to call themselves friends.” Her fists clenched slowly. “Even my family, my mom and dad, never cared about me… Even knowing I was being bullied at school, they didn’t stand up for me and forced me to go to school… This time it was even worse…”

Isaac nodded.

He had a general understanding of the situation; Ayana's situation was probably not due to being chased, but rather because of family conflicts.

Ayana raised her head and looked at Isaac with pleading eyes.

"Rentaro...can you sit next to me?"

"Oh."

Although he didn't know what she wanted to do, Isaac still went over and sat down next to Ayana.

Seeing Isaac beside her, Ayana reached out and hugged him.

"Rentaro, besides you... I have nothing left..."

She pressed her face against Isaac's chest, her emotions rising once more.

"Please, Rentaro, if even you abandon me... I really don't know how to face this world."

Isaac: "..."

This was a situation he had never encountered before, and he had no idea what to say.

He could only offer temporary comfort, saying, "Don't worry, even if I have to leave, I'll take care of all your difficulties."

"Eh? Rentaro, are you leaving!?"

Ayana's eyes instantly turned to terror.

When she was at her most desperate, it was Isaac who appeared in her world, helped her, and pulled her out of that hell.

For Cai Cai right now, Isaac is everything.

She was terrified, terrified of losing Isaac.

She instinctively interpreted Isaac's words as Isaac wanting to leave this place, which plunged her into despair once again, as if she had fallen into the bottomless sea.

Just like what Miho Tsukamoto said to Isaac before.

Cowards are even afraid of happiness.
