Chapter 231 The Crisis in the Dark

"Failed again?"

In the AST branch, a middle-aged man was sitting on a chair. He looked at the report in his hand, his eyes full of anger.

On the opposite side, Ryoko Kusakabe bowed his head and remained silent.

"Tiangong City is the area with the most frequent space shocks. As the elite Marine Self-Defense Force stationed here, they didn't even catch or kill a single elf. How do you want me to explain to the higher-ups?!"

The man cursed and slapped the wooden table heavily with his palm. The water glass on it shook violently, making an angry shock.

"There were some accidents, we were attacked by an unknown elf, and the other angel belonged to the legion type, which was very bad for us..."

"I don't want to hear these explanations, I only care about the result, not the process!"

He immediately interrupted the other party's words, then got up and threw the report on the other party's face.

Feeling the slight pain coming from her cheek, Ryoko Kusakabe clenched her fist tightly, trying to suppress the anger in her heart.

Then, she squatted down, picked up the scattered papers methodically, rearranged them and put them back on the table.

"Humph!"

Her boss snorted coldly, then sat back on the chair with disdain on his face.

"Assess your incompetence, the higher-ups have sent someone down, he is the trump card of the Marine Corps, learn more."

When the words fell to the ground, Ryoko Kusakabe's complexion changed.

"Major, why don't I know?"

"Aren't you clear now?"

Suddenly, she gritted her teeth, and her chest felt like it was about to explode.

It's so easy to say, if you have the ability, you can fight against the elves by yourself, and if you don't throw the ashes to you, you will be able to point fingers all day long!

The man seemed very happy, and the bad mood of being scolded by the upper class just now has been completely liberated.

Immediately, he clapped his palms with a bright smile on his face.

"Takamiya Mana, come in."

The sound was like a door key, and as the doorknob turned, a cute girl with blue hair and a single ponytail walked in.

There was a smile on her delicate face, and her golden pupils were as bright as amber.

Especially under her left eye, there is also a tear mole embellished, which adds a bit of unique charm to it.

If Duo were here, he would be very shocked.

Wuhe Shidao, you are dressed as a woman, and you didn't tell me!
Of course, the above is purely his personal opinion.

Because this blue-haired girl and Wuhe Shidao look very similar, if they stand together, others will definitely think they are brother and sister.

"Hello, my name is Takamiya Mana, please give me more advice in the future!"

Chonggong Mana stretched out his palm happily, looking very sincere.

Kusakabe Ryoko felt helpless for a moment, and reached out her hand to hold her together.

Looking at the other party's youthful and immature face, she couldn't help muttering in her heart.

Is this guy really the ace of the Marine Self-Defense Force?
As if feeling something in his heart, Takamiya Mana smiled again, but this smile was full of confidence.

……

England, inside a certain building.

Located in the highest office, a handsome man with short silver hair sat lazily on the sofa.

Facing the balcony window, he felt the wind and waves blowing from outside, and closed his eyes comfortably.

bang bang!

Suddenly, a rhythmic knock on the door echoed in the room, and at this moment, the man opened his eyes.

With obsidian-like deep eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up as he looked at the tall buildings in the distance.

"Please come in!"

The voice fell, and the door opened.

A woman with pale blond hair and a loose shawl walked in calmly.

She has a slender figure, exuding a mature aura, and her appearance is extremely beautiful, especially with those purple butterfly eyes, giving people the feeling of a sister next door.

"Is there a problem?"

The man did not stand up, but turned his back to her and asked.

"Ike, it has been investigated. This is the information they gave."

She handed the file with Tohka's photo pasted on it to the short-haired man.

The other party took it with great interest, and then read it carefully.

Time passed slowly, and only the rustling sound of flipping through the documents remained in the office.

"Interesting, the elf who looks like a princess is actually attending classes in a high school like an ordinary person..."

"Ike, what do you think?"

The lady next door said flatly.

Hearing this, the man answered unhurriedly.

"Eileen Miramethes, the strongest magician in the world, you should be very happy. The princess is known as a natural disaster-level elf, and she will become your equal opponent."

He was careful not to omit any words, and patiently checked. Although there were only a few short pages, he flipped through them for a long time.

"I am the strongest magician in the world, no one can defeat me."

The woman named Ailian spoke calmly, without any hesitation in her tone, as if that was the case.

"I'm very happy to see you so confident."

He chuckled a few times, then suddenly frowned, and stopped at a certain photo.

The other party's subtle movements were caught in Ailian's eyes, and her expression was a little strange.

"Ike, what's wrong?"

"This person...impossible..."

The man did not explain, his eyes were fixed on the picture, he was no longer easy-going and calm before.

Ailian looked at the other person's fingers. It was a high school male student with short blue hair.

"Wuhe Shidao?"

She murmured the name carefully.

"Haha, it seems that both of us were deceived by that bad woman, I should have thought of it long ago!"

Suddenly, the man burst out laughing, but there was a trace of inexplicable emotion in it.

That was the emotion that Eileen had never seen before in him.

Laughter echoed in the room, and the woman watched silently without speaking.

Finally, he slowly restrained himself and regained his composure.

"Tomorrow morning, we are going to Tiangong City. I want to clarify this matter thoroughly. Once it is confirmed that Ye Shendao Tohka is the princess, she will be arrested and imprisoned immediately, no matter what method is used!"

"Yes!"

Aileen nodded, expressing her understanding.

That casual expression, as if what he was about to face was not a natural disaster spirit at all, just like an ordinary high school student.

"Actually, there is another piece of information in the above information, which has not been recorded."

Seeing the man close the file, she suddenly spoke again.

"Oh, is there anything else?"

"According to the intelligence agent, Yatogami Tohka and Wuhe Shidou just now, there will always be a black-haired girl next to them."

"He suspects that the other party is also an elf, but because there is no relevant information recorded in the database, he can't be sure."

"Oh, what a surprise."

The man's mouth was raised slightly, and his short silver hair swayed in the wind.

He turned his head to meet the woman's eyes.

"Do you have a picture of him?"

"Well, here it is."

Ailian handed a photo to the other party.

Her waist-length black hair fluttered, and her delicate and lovely face made people's eyes shine.

That was the figure of Duo.

"It's a very beautiful girl, then when you arrive in Tiangong City, let's bring her into the observation range together."

"understand!"

The man picked up his wine glass and took a sip.

"By the way, what's her name?"

"It seems to be called Duo, it should be this."
