I'm having fun in Tokyo

EVA: "Are you leaving now?"

"If you are going to leave, I will inform the Mellon family immediately."

Morikawa Yu nodded: "Of course."

"The sooner the better."

......

Half a day later.

Japan, Tokyo Haneda Airport.

After a long flight of eleven and a half hours, the Mellon family's private jet, which took off from O'Hare International Airport, arrived in Tokyo, Japan.

Morikawa Yu stepped off the plane and looked at the airport's dedicated passageway in front of her.

EVA's voice came through his headphones: "The time difference between Chicago and Tokyo is fourteen hours. It's 7 p.m. in Tokyo now. You didn't sleep on the plane. If you rest now, you can save time adjusting to the time difference."

“The Mellon family owns a hotel in Ginza, Tokyo, and they have already prepared a penthouse suite for you.”

“If you don’t want to stay at the hotel they provide, I can also inform the Snake Clan and have them entertain you.”

"Although I am no longer the central host of Kassel College, I can still contact the host Kaguya of the Snake Clan, and the Snake Clan basically does not obey the orders of the Kassel College headquarters."

"Given your strength and reputation, they would be more than willing to entertain you."

Morikawa Yu: "Then they'll be on my guard, and they'll be watching everything I do, right?"

"Don't let them know I'm here. People need to remain unknown so they can do whatever they want."

He waved his hand.

EVA frowned: "Fine, I'll try my best to cover your tracks."

"But I can only try my best to cover it up for you. A strong person like you can cause huge damage once they make a move, and it would be easy to expose themselves and have their identity recognized."

"Also, just a heads up, Princess Kaguya of the Snake-Headed Eight Families is a supercomputer and artificial intelligence just like me. She should have also discovered the audio recording of the first generation of dragon embryos deep in the trench and reported it to the Snake-Headed Eight Families."

"Like the Kassel College, the Snake Clan is very interested in dragon embryos. They will likely be on high alert and wary of anyone who comes to Japan or approaches that sea area."

"I can only try my best to ensure that you are not discovered by them, or to block the surveillance methods they can use. Otherwise, it's up to you."

Morikawa Yu nodded: "That's already pretty good."

He took out his phone and looked at EVA on the screen.

EVA spoke again: "Regarding rest, food, clothing, and accommodation, if you don't want to stay at the Mellon family's hotel or have your whereabouts discovered by the Snake Clan, I can arrange and resolve these matters for you."

"In its early years, Kassel College prepared a considerable amount of activity funds specifically to facilitate the activities of its executive officers around the world."

"Their temporary hosting privileges are not as high as mine, and these funds are still in my hands."

"I can use these funds to help you prepare for your daily needs."

Morikawa Yu nodded as she walked.

At this moment, EVA on the phone screen looks like a conscientious secretary, arranging his daily life chores so that he can focus on what he needs to do.

He couldn't help but think of Ryoko's Mikamiko Shimazaki Natsuko and the Great Fox's Mikamiko Kaoru Kashima.

They always helped Ryoko and Mitsuko with their chores, allowing them to manage their respective areas with less effort.

Natsuko Shimazaki sometimes wears glasses with transparent frames, which gives her an intellectual and gentle look.

He suddenly wanted to see what EVA would look like in a shrine maiden outfit and wearing glasses.

The girl with glasses is also a particularly endearing and relatable character.

"EVA, could you please change into a shrine maiden outfit? Or conjure up a pair of glasses for yourself?"

EVA: "Heh, have you come up with another twisted idea?"

"I'm sorry, although I am your assistant and someone you protect, even if you force me, I will not obey your perverted orders."

She flatly refused the request.

Morikawa Yu sighed, "Then forget it."

Adults usually refuse in a subtle and silent way, but EVA refused outright, so she probably really didn't want to.

He didn't want to force her.

EVA reappeared on the screen: "Actually..."

Suddenly, she paused, as if she had discovered something unexpected, and quickened her pace: "Morikawa, weren't you looking for that girl named Erii?"

“I discovered that she was in an area outside her living quarters.”

"Do you want to see her?"

Morikawa Yu was stunned for a moment: "Really?"

"You're not kidding me, are you?"

EVA: "No, to maintain trust between us and prevent communication problems, I won't joke with you when you're particularly looking forward to something."

"She really left the residential area and appeared in an area outside the residential area."

"Do you want to see her?"

Morikawa Yu hesitated for a moment.

He didn't expect to see Erii's appearance so soon.

He turned and looked around.

There was no one around. He had only been in the private passageway for the airport's private jets for a short time when the people who were supposed to pick him up had already left.

"I think."

EVA sighed: "I'm connecting you to her monitoring system."

Morikawa Yu immediately took out her phone.

He looked at his phone screen and found that the screen had turned into a surveillance interface, displaying the time. There were walls and floors all around, making it look like the edge of a building's passageway.

One side of the passageway has sealed glass windows through which you can see tall buildings and neon lighthouses that are already lit up in the distance.

"This is the headquarters of the Snake Clan, the upper-level passageway of the Genji Heavy Industries Building."

"The girl you're looking for, Erii, just walked out of her living area and headed this way. It looks like she's leaving the Genji Heavy Industries building, but she only had a small package and two toys with her."

Just as EVA was speaking, Morikawa Yu saw a shadow appear at the edge of the corridor's surveillance camera.

The owner of the shadow moved, looked around, walked into the passage, and appeared completely in the surveillance footage.

She was a girl who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a bright face, a slender and graceful figure, long dark red hair, a small bag on her back, and a black haori.

Although she had a great figure, she still looked somewhat thin under the large black haori.

Soon, she walked through the passageway, cautiously looking at the other side.

Suddenly, she stopped, looked up, and her gaze met the camera's.

She bit her lip, as if she hadn't expected things to change here, with surveillance cameras installed. A hint of displeasure appeared in her pure and clear eyes.

But it didn't sound like anger or resentment; it was just a simple sense of frustration.

Finally, she reached out her hand, aimed it at the camera, hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand to cover her delicate face with her haori, as if that would prevent her from being seen. She then moved her feet, carrying her small backpack, and quickly walked through the passage.

Chapter 454 The Little Princess Who Ran Away from Home

"Eri..."

Morikawa Yu's gaze softened.

EVA frowned: "Tch, what's with that expression on a brother's face, like he's looking at his well-behaved, obedient, sensible, cute, and capable little sister?"

"He was so arrogant and reckless when he was with me..."

"Could she actually be your sister?"

"Sister?" Morikawa Yu paused, then asked, "Why would you think that?"

EVA: "Because my database contains records and research related to your Eastern traditional culture."

"In your eyes, everyone has a past life and a present life. And there is a slight connection between each person's past life and this life."

"Similarly, people who were related in a past life will meet again in this life and form new bonds."

“If she really is your sister, and you awakened your memories of your past life, remembered her, and traveled thousands of miles across the ocean to find her, that makes sense.”

"Or is the world you came from your past life? She was your sister in that world, but something happened to her, so you came to this world to find her and make up for the regrets in your heart?"

"Yes, but not quite." Morikawa Yu shook his head, his finger tracing the area on the screen designated for EVA. "Don't make wild guesses. Can an AI virtual life form really understand these things?"

He continued looking at the monitoring interface on his phone.

Erii, who was on the monitor, had already walked through the monitoring corridor and disappeared from the screen.

EVA frowned: "I'm not one of those fake AIs that don't even have self-awareness, so why can't I understand?"

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to explain any more to you."

She snapped her fingers.

Morikawa Yu's phone screen immediately split into three areas, with the middle section divided into two parts, the top of which displayed a surveillance channel that looked very similar to the previous image.

Below is a layer that looks like a three-dimensional architectural plan, with intricate lines that also have a sense of order. One section of the passage is marked in red, and there is a blue dot that is moving.

There is a light-emitting area on the diagonal side for her to stand in.

Soon, the moving blue dot entered the red-marked channel in the lower area, and Erii's figure appeared on the monitoring screen in the upper area.

EVA enlarges the screen.

Morikawa Yu's eyes lit up: "Impressive, EVA. I admit you're different from those fake artificial intelligences that don't even have self-awareness."

"Heh, do you need to admit it?" EVA looked coldly at Morikawa Yu.

She crossed her arms, looking like she didn't want to talk to him.

Morikawa Yu smiled and continued looking at the monitoring interface at the top of the screen.

In the surveillance footage, Erii, carrying a small backpack and covering her face with the sleeve of her haori, walked quickly through the passage and soon left that section of the passage, heading to a passage on the next lower level.

Seeing her cautious yet somewhat dazed and clumsy demeanor, Morikawa Yu couldn't help but frown.

"She wants to go out?"

EVA: "Yes, based on behavioral analysis, she probably wants to leave Genji Heavy Industries, commonly known as 'running away from home'."

"Won't she encounter any danger after she goes out?" Morikawa Yu asked with some concern.

EVA: "Danger? You're worried she's in danger?"

"I think you should be more worried about whether the people of Tokyo are in danger, right?"

Her tone turned cold: "According to internal information from the Snake Clan, this girl named Uesugi Erii is the current head of the Uesugi family, and also the only remaining member of the Uesugi family on the surface."

"Although she looks like just a well-behaved, naive, and somewhat airheaded girl, she possesses a high purity of dragon blood, so much so that she can speak 'dragon language' right after birth and can use the top-secret word 'Judgment', which is number 111 on the word sequence list."

“This Word of Power is even more powerful than her father Uesugi Kotsu’s ‘Word of Power: Black Sun’. When fully unleashed, it can destroy the entire Tokyo Metropolis.”

"Even without using her Word of Power, she could lift a car with one hand and throw it."

Are you worried that she might be in danger?

Morikawa Yu frowned: "That's not what I meant. I'm worried that she'll be deceived. No matter how strong she is, she doesn't have much life experience."

EVA: "Then you have even less to worry about."

"She is the eldest daughter of the Hebi-Hachi family, which rules the Japanese underworld."

"She can be described as the princess of the entire Japanese underworld."

"Don't be fooled by her being alone now. Once she leaves the Genji Heavy Industries building, the Snake Clan will definitely send people to secretly follow her and protect their little princess."

"Besides, you don't think we're the only ones who found her, do you?"

“I’m using the surveillance cameras at the Genji Heavy Industries building. We can see her, and the people in the main control room must have seen her long ago.”

"They just made sure no one approached her, so they didn't make a move, making her think she had successfully run away from home, just to make their little princess happy."

Morikawa Yu frowned: "Then could you perhaps show me their surveillance footage...?"
