Chapter 217 - The Only Female Advisor (1/2)

(Jane's PoV)

It was one day before the meeting. It was early in the morning when someone adorned in flirtatious red silk robe appeared in my house –I mean, the place I was staying at. She was lucky I had been awake for some time that I was fully sober when I welcomed her arrival.

If I were sleepy, my first instinct was to attack any stranger inside my house, human or not.

When she appeared, the others were still sleeping. Tom and Sanji were still sleeping. They had been going through a lot since the last time they saw the Devil fought with me. Their state of helplessness seemed to boost their motivation to train like hell. I had no idea what kind of training they were having with Siji as their mentor, but they had been behaving oddly ever since.

Talking about Siji, he also had changed ever since that time. He became more attentive towards me and had been beside me more than before.

Ever since I woke up this morning, Siji had been by my side even though we were just at home. Therefore, when this flirtatious soul appeared, he had me greeted her from his back, shielding me from our guest.

”Hihihi… Number Seven, what are you doing hiding your Master like that?” The woman hid her laugh behind her hand with her eyes sparkled mischievously.

”Number Three, you're getting more and more…” Siji coldly scanned her from top to toe.

The way his eyes flashed with disdain made me chuckle slightly. As a man who was born in the ancient time, it was clear that he didn't like the concept of woman acting flirtatious in public. Seeing the familiar way this woman in front of me showed towards Siji and the way Siji called her with number made me realize that this woman was someone's advisor.

But, I was really curious about her Master. Who could be her Master?

The woman in red laughed teasingly as she floated towards him. Siji flinched but since I was still behind his back, he stood his ground. His hardened jaw was clear for me to see how much he loathed her.

I was supposed to help him, in this case. However, I really wanted to see his reaction since it was rare for him to show this kind of reaction.

My eyes followed the movement of the woman as her long and delicate finger traced a line from Siji's chin down to his chest provocatively.

Siji shuddered and leaned back to avoid her finger touching him. His expression was…priceless.

I burst out laughing when I saw his face darkened to the point it could drip ink.

”Tsk tsk tsk, Number Seven, if you're still this aloof, how can you find yourself a girlfriend?” The woman seemed to be satisfied with his reaction.

She stepped back as she shook her head in disapproval. ”Number Seven, you died as a lonely man. You had no woman beside you and you were still young. Now you are granted to have a second life and you still want to spend your life as a single? How pathetic you are!”

Her beautiful face showed a pity expression. I honestly thought this woman came without any malicious intention, but other than being a bit trauma from the Devil's attack, I really had no idea why Siji would hide me behind his back when he saw this woman.

”Don't come out! I don't want her lewd and stupid trait to affect you in any way!” Siji growled without breaking eye contact with the woman called Number Three.

There was my answer.

I didn't know whether I should laugh or cry hearing his reason. Siji, you said she was stupid, but how could stupid person become an Advisor?

”Don't listen to him. An old v.i.r.g.i.n like him has no clue how a woman should treat herself.” The woman tilted her body to the side as she smiled warmly at me.

There. She was like an older sister figure, only she looked like she came from a brothel. I should not have said that out loud just in case I made her angry. Hahaha.

”You mean a woman should be acting indecent like you?” Siji smirked in disgust.

I watched as the woman smiled, flirtatiously yet confidently. ”A man like you won't understand what a woman need.” She flicked her long hair as she swayed towards me with her big grin plastered on her beautiful face.

She pushed Siji lightly with her delicate fingers. It was just a bit of push, but because of his disdain towards the woman, he jumped. It created a perfect chance for Number Three to approach me.

Sensing that she didn't have any malicious intent towards me, I let her come closer. The woman was pretty tall, with slim body; a perfect body for a seductress. Not to mention she knew exactly how to use her charm to her advantage.

I admired her, to be honest.

”Master of First Army. Ah, I don't like saying numbers.” She shook her head with a frown on her face. Then, she looked at me again and started with a smile. ”Master of White Army, let me introduce myself. My name is San. I'm the Advisor of Merapi Army. I came to deliver the message regarding the place of the meeting tomorrow.” She bowed down gracefully as her red silk robe looked as if it was caught on fire, but when the fire disappeared, her clothes had changed into one that similar to what Siji was wearing.

I guessed it was their uniform as Advisor. Even her long swaying hair had been tied up in a neat pony tail. Gold earpieces in shape of leaves were adorned on each of her ears, pointed up to the sky. She looked exceptionally more beautiful with all the gold on her, I must admit that.

”Thank you for taking all the trouble to come here and deliver the news.” I bowed down to her.

I smiled as I saw her giving me soft and warm smile. ”Here is the location of the meeting and the time of the meeting.” She pulled out a scroll made of the finest silk and handed it to me politely.

I took it and opened it right in front of her. Siji was standing beside me, looking at San warily. After reading the neat handwriting inside, I smiled.
