Chapter 459 (1/2)
<hr><hr>
Somewhere in Tengu city's airs.p.a.ce, Fraxinus.
Everyone is busy in the control room. They didn't predict Tokisaki Kurumi's arrival, they looked at the screen in disbelief. Even Kyouhei, Reine, and Tatsuwa are surprised by Tokisaki Kurumi's appearance in school.
The control room main entrance opened and Kotori walked in as everyone greeted her. Her presence settled the anxiety in everyone's heart. Kotori commanded this much respect in her organization.
”Commander!”
Kyouhei, Reine, and Tatsuwa released sighs of relief when they saw her walking in. With Kotori here, Ratatoskr will probably be around for a lot longer.
”Give me a sitrep.”
She sat down with a stern look. She stared at Tokisaki Kurumi without revealing her thoughts.
”Nothing yet as of now, it doesn't look like Tokisaki Kurumi is planning on causing a ruckus.”
Kyouhei questioned why Tokisaki Kurumi would show up like this, it's like she wants to get caught.
Kotori opened a Chupa Chups like a pro and she Gate of Babyloned it up before continuing.
”Tokisaki Kurumi is here for s.h.i.+do.”
”That seems to be the case.”
Tatsuwa replied. Since he is in charge of supporting Wu Yan, he should be familiar with Wu Yan's special properties as well.
”The spirit invited the squad leader to show her the ropes around the school and the squad leader agreed.”
Tatsuwa frowned in confusion.
”That's Tokisaki Kurumi, she's a very dangerous existence right? And it's pretty clear that she came targeting the squad leader why did he agree to her request? Surely, he's not trying to pull some moves on her? Won't that put him in a very dangerous position?”
”I am afraid he can't say no…”
Kotori narrowed her eyes.
”Knowing Tokisaki Kurumi, she probably held or is planning to hold the students of Raizen High hostage.”
Tatsuwa looked at the screen while clenching his fists.
”But the squad leader…”
Kotori stared at the screen and she s.h.i.+fted her attention to Wu Yan in the screen. She mumbled.
”s.h.i.+do, what's your plan…?”
Kotori looked at Tatsuwa.
”Have you contacted s.h.i.+do?”
”I did…”
Tatsuwa gnashed his teeth.
”He told me to report that Tokisaki Kurumi probably won't be starting a fight here. He told us not to take any reckless moves aside from observing the situation and taking action only when the need arises.”
Kotori nodded.
”s.h.i.+do's choice was correct.”
Kotori stood up and she gave the order.
”Everyone, get into your position. If anything happens, be prepared to go into combat mode.”
”Understood!”
They replied in the affirmative even if they are shocked. The combat mode is never initiated aside from AST confrontation since Ratatoskr is an organization that aims to protect and save spirits. Right now, the order has been given to initiate combat mode at a moment's notice, this is a first.
They didn't hesitate though since they are dealing with Tokisaki Kurumi, a spirit that can kill without remorse. Against such a spirit, even the people in the control room are exposed to danger, combat mode being on standby seems appropriate.
Kotori looked a bit better after pa.s.sing the order down. However, she still felt anxious so she sent Tatsuwa.
