We agreed to be in a band for life, what the heck is Dragon Raja?

"Okay." Nan Yun Yuyue stood up.

"Now, please follow me."

…………

…………

the other side,

Several interns from Kassel College left one after another, and Professor Davis followed them, taking the elevator back to the first floor under the guidance of the members of the Snake Clan.

The most experienced among these people was undoubtedly Margaret Davis, who had previously served as a tutor at the Kassel College.

So Inuyama stayed by her side alone and talked to her about the internship.

Shiina Tatsuki was at the back of the group, next to Chihaya Aine, who was the last one to come out.

Chihaya Aine saw the girl with clear, bright eyes, and greeted her with a smile:

"Kongnijiwa".

(hello)

Shiina Tatsuki paused for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Hello."

She glanced at the pink-haired girl, wondering why she was so determined to get her attention.

When she came up, Chihaya Aine had been looking her over, and now she was staying at the back of the group and talking to her.

Considering her status as an intern sent from Kassel College,

Could it be... that she has another purpose?

Shiina Tatsuki felt a sense of unease.

However, she did not show it on the surface, but simply followed the group as usual and sent them to the special car prepared by the Snake-Headed Eight Family.

only……

"Why am I riding in the same car as this pink-haired girl?"

Shiina Tatsuki glanced at the arrangements made for himself and found that they were indeed as described.

Inuyamada and Professor Davis were in one car, the seven interns were divided into three cars, and Chihaya Aine was sitting with her.

"Then that's all."

Shiina Tatsuki thought helplessly.

Chihaya Aine, however, felt that this arrangement was just right.

She hadn't met any of the other students at Kassel College before, since she had only recently enrolled in the preparatory program and hadn't even had a chance to visit the Kassel College campus.

Even if we sit together, we can't talk about anything in common.

In that case, it's better to sit with a girl who looks about my age.

It was a good opportunity to chat in the car, making the journey to the hotel less boring.

As soon as she got on the bus, looking at Shiina Tatsuki sitting next to her with a blank expression, Chihaya Aine felt she should take the initiative to speak:

"Hello, I'm Chihaya Aine."

"Hello, I am Shiina Tatsuki."

Shiina Tatsuki remembered the requirements of this mission and chose to respond politely.

"Were you an agent in the Execution Bureau before? You look so young," Chihaya Aine asked curiously.

"I'm sorry, I can't disclose that," Shiina Tatsuki said calmly.

She felt that Chihaya Aine was indeed acting a bit strange. This girl started introducing herself abruptly as soon as she got on the bus, and now she's even asking sensitive questions about her resume.

"Excuse me."

Chihaya Aine immediately apologized.

After thinking for a while, she decided to change the subject:

"What are Lixi's hobbies?"

"I don't have many hobbies, but I play the drums occasionally."

"Has Lixi considered forming a band? Before I went abroad to study, I heard that there was a trend of forming bands in Tokyo."

"I'm sorry, I can't disclose that information."

"Lixi, how old are you this year? We seem to be about the same age."

"I'm sorry, I can't disclose that information."

"Age isn't such a sensitive topic, is it?" Chihaya Aine said.

"I am sixteen years old this year. If I stay in Tokyo to study, I will be a first-year high school student after the start of the new semester."

"So he really is about the same age as me," Shiina Tatsuki thought to herself.

"I'm the same age as you."

She was about to reply to Chihaya Aine with one more sentence before ignoring her barrage of questions.

Unexpectedly, Chihaya Aine's eyes lit up after hearing that the two were the same age:

Wow, I didn't expect we were actually the same age.

Who's the same age as you...?

Shiina Riki glanced at Chihaya Aine's upper body and thought to herself.

"I didn't expect that Li Xi would join the Sheqi Hachi family's Execution Bureau at such a young age. I used to think that all the Execution Bureau's agents had to be young people over twenty."

Chihaya Aine said with great interest.

If you knew how old Director Nagumo was, you'd be scared to death...

"Li Xi looks really elegant. No wonder she joined the Executive Bureau at such a young age. She looks a bit like a female assassin from a movie."

What? ? ?

Shiina Tatsuki finally broke down.

She genuinely didn't want to talk to Chihaya Aine, but the pink-haired girl's words were getting more and more outrageous.

If it weren't for the Executive Bureau's requirements that kept her in check, she probably wouldn't have been able to resist saying "Sizkaniros" to Chihaya Aine.

(Quiet down!)

Shiina Tatsuki's first impression of Chihaya Aine was already not good, and now it has hit rock bottom.

She took a deep breath to calm her fluctuating emotions.

fortunately,

The convoy was about to reach its destination, and Shiina Tatsuki was finally relieved that she wouldn't have to stay with Chihaya Aine for a while.

now,

not far away,

The exterior of Azabudai Valley slowly unfolds before everyone's eyes.

As the largest mixed-race power in Japan, the Snake Clan has always been wealthy and powerful, and provides the best treatment for its interns.

The interns and the executives who have yet to arrive will be staying at a hotel called Canaan Tokyo, one of Japan's most luxurious hotels.

This hotel is newly built, and even the most basic room costs as much as 15 yen per night.

However, the Snake Clan booked more than ten of the most luxurious rooms in one go as their residence for this period of time.

"I didn't expect it to be at Azabudai Hill." Chihaya Aine was somewhat surprised.

Azabudai Hill is a landmark recently built in Tokyo, located in Minato Ward.

Its main building, "Mori JP Tower," has successfully surpassed Osaka's Abeno Observatory to become the tallest building in Japan.

Chihaya Aine had visited this place before, back when she hadn't even decided to study in the UK.

After getting off the bus, Inuyama introduced the group to the vehicle:

"This is Canoto, and we considered it for a long time before finally deciding to book the hotel here."

"This is also the only hotel in Azabudai-gaoka at present, and I believe it will definitely not disappoint you."

Upon entering the hotel via the elevator in Residence A building, a waitress in a kimono bowed and greeted the group.

"I heard that this hotel has a view of Tokyo Tower."

Chihaya Aine was looking forward to it.

The location of Canu Tokyo is indeed excellent. Just thinking about being able to enjoy the night view of Tokyo Tower from her hotel room made Chihaya Aine feel that she should restart her social media account, which she hasn't posted in a long time.

In a cheerful mood, she was especially excited when thanking Shiina Ritsuki.

"You're welcome."

Shiina Riki reluctantly handed the room key to Chihaya Aine, then listened to her thanks without changing her expression.

"This mission is finally over. Joining the Execution Bureau's training program was definitely not easy," Shiina Tatsuki thought to himself.

"Luckily, this pink-haired girl is from Kassel College. If she were in the Executive Bureau, I'd probably be driven crazy by her."

After handing the room key to Professor Davis, Inuyamada transmitted a new message to the Executive Bureau via communicator:

The Kassel College interns have checked into their hotel; please keep an eye on their movements.

Although these interns are not as experienced as the executives, they are still worth being wary of.

The agents of the Enforcement Bureau had already been secretly deployed throughout the hotel, posing as guests or waiters, ready to respond swiftly to any disturbances.

"Now... it's time to return to Genji Heavy Industries."

…………

…………

at the same time,

Genji Heavy Industries.

"This is?"

Standing before a huge black shadow, Ye Sheng looked bewildered.

"The deep-sea submersible was built by the Ganryu Research Institute; its quality is excellent," Nan Yun Yuyue said.

"The head of the Miyamoto family is the director of the Ganryu Research Institute and the designer of this deep-sea submersible. Let him introduce it to you."

Miyamoto Shio bowed deeply to the crowd and then said:

"Greetings, everyone. I am Shio Miyamoto. Welcome to the Ganryu Research Institute."

"This is a deep-sea submersible that the researchers of the Snake Clan are currently building. Their target is the ancient dragon embryo that is about to be revived on the seabed."

"Can this kind of deep-sea submersible really support exploration?"

An executive officer asked,

"As far as I know, the deepest part of the abyss that needs to be explored reaches 8500 meters. Under such water pressure, an ordinary deep-sea submersible would explode instantly."

"Don't worry, everyone," Miyamoto Shigeo said confidently.

"The design template for the Ganryu Research Institute is the most powerful deep-sea submersible called the Trieste, which has even explored trenches with a depth of more than 1 meters."

"We have used shape memory metal and other new technologies to enhance protection in this new deep-sea submersible, which will surely achieve the desired effect."

Nan Yun Yuyue picked up the conversation and continued:

"Our plan is to use this deep-sea submersible to explore the depths of the abyss, find the embryo, and then destroy it with a small alchemical bomb."

"This is the safest approach. After all, Japan's continental shelf is quite unstable, and we don't want a simple mission to cause more casualties than the dragons did."

Ye Sheng pondered for a moment.

The plan proposed by the Snake Clan was indeed reasonable, and they even prepared exploration equipment.

The Snake Clan has been desperately trying to cover up the issue of raising undead, and it is extremely difficult for them to investigate without assistance.
