Chapter 314 - Escort Mission (1/2)

”This is crazy…”

Yumi couldn't calm down after hearing Ace's plan for the next few days. She didn't think that befriending this guy would lead her to be involved in such incredulous ambition…

”Associating with foreign beings?! Why should I help you with this? Isn't this a bit too dangerous?”

”Don't worry, I will be sending capable magicians to guard them… There's also Avalon and Veda monitoring this…”

”Veda?”

”Ah… Don't worry about it… Anyway, you don't have to get too involved there. I just want to ensure that there will be no issues or complaints from the Congress…”

”If it is about the Congress or the government itself… I'll have to coordinate with the others.”

”I'll leave it to you…”

”Urgh… I have a lot of things to do, you know?”

”Eh? But Avalon told me that you've completed you're mission already and resting in your office?”

”What? I'm not resting… Ha! Alright, fine… I'll do it.”

Yumi still gave in even though she was complaining. In truth, she was a bit curious as well about the Arians that Ace was talking about, who wouldn't be?

She just fears the possibility of Ace's plan being out of control. However, she trusts this mysterious young man and can only hope that if the Arians' existence was leaked to the public, it wouldn't cause too much of an impact on society.

After ending her conversation with the young man, she immediately started working…

”Right… I forgot to ask about the automatons…”

Ring! Ring!

Yumi heard her communication device ringing again. After seeing the written words to identify the caller, she smiled.

”Avalon! That was fast!”

[ Hello. Ace told me to help you for a while. ]

”Yes… Thank you… Right, my superiors seem to be interested in the automatons you guys made…”

[ It appears so. Did they ask you to procure one? ]

”Yes…”

[ We can show them one of the old ones we have. So you wouldn't be in an awkward position. ]

”Really! That would be helpful… Just make sure to remove any of your secrets from that automaton.”

[ Of course. ]

”Great… Now I needed some help on my job so I can work on Ace's request.”

[ Affirmative. ]

***

After a couple more days, all the preparation to send a group of Arians to Earth was completed.

”We will be using the Excellence, huh…”

”I'm more comfortable with Providence but it shouldn't matter that much.”

”What are you guys saying? Excellence is more fitted in this type of mission.”
