16 Chapter 14 Immortals Revenge Part 1 (2/2)
Hideo picks it up and opens it, his jaw drops in shock of how many names and addresses were written on the sheets of paper that were inside of the folder.
”You, H-Have the higher ups sent you here?”
The woman just shakes her head denying that she was a employee that the higher ups had ordered.
”T-Then, Why are you helping us then?”
Now with a serious stern look on his face he asked the formally dressed woman seated across from him.
The woman just sighs at his question. ”I work for no one, I just heard about you looking for more people.”
'At last! A saint has come to help!' was the thought in his head as he heard her answer with a grin on his face.
”I-I can't possibly accept this though...”
The woman just laughs at his second misunderstanding and just shrugs.
”I'm not exactly giving it for free anyways.”
Hearing this Hideo closes the folder and puts it back on the coffee table.
”Then what do you want in return?”
He crossed his arms with his back leaning on the sofa.
The woman gets up when he asked this question and states:
”I just want to talk to the Tamamo no Mae descendant, that's all”
The whole lobby became quite as she said so, with Hideo just staring at her.
'Talk? What could she want to talk to Yui for?'
”Talk?” Hideo's brow furrowed.
”Yes, I'm just curious about her since I'm into legends.” She smiles at the middle-aged head priest.
'If that's all she wants then I guess it's fine...'
Hideo still couldn't let his guard down since immortals have tried to infiltrate E.I.M.D and failed in the past.
He gives her a nod but he stated that he needs to be in the same room as them if she wanted to do so.
A sharp grin emerged on the woman's face as she was told that she could talk to her.
”Thank you, That's all I want .”
She then proceeded to bow and started walking to the entrance of the building leaving the folder behind.
'I might have to set countermeasures to just to be safe...' He thought looking at the woman who was now outside.
Yui who was coincidentally walking by the lobby about to head out was called by Hideo and told that a woman wanted to talk with her.
”A woman? Who? Why would she want to talk with me?”
Yui not knowing who that woman that he's describing just tilts her head.
”How should I say this... She gave us a whole list of possible new members then she asked me if she could talk to you.”
”She what?!”
Yui grabbed the folder that Hideo had in he hand.
”T-This is way too suspicious...”
”Yeah, that's what the problem is.”
Hideo just crosses his arms once again and nods in agreement.
~~~
The time of the said ”talk” that the suit-wearing woman has come, Yui and Hideo were seated across the said woman inside of one of the interogation rooms of the E.I.M.D building.
Hideo had ofcourse prepared some traps and countermeasures in case the woman tries something.
”So... You're Tamamo no Mae's descendant?” The woman asked with a grin plastered all over her face.
”Yes, And can I what it is that you wanted to talk about?”
'Going straight to the point now,are we?'The face of the woman suddenly softens as she hears Yui speak to her.
”Well, I just wanted to interview you, that's all.”
”Interview? For what?”
”I run a blog that centers around japanese legends, and I want to interview for that blog since you're the descendant of Tamamo no Mae.”
The woman takes out a micro recorder from her hand bag and places it on the table in front of them.
'So she just wants to monopolize that fact, huh?'
Hearing the woman's explaination, Yui's eyes looked at her like she was a piece of trash.
