The Magician of Sound

The fight continued as Kai stopped paying attention to them. Instead, he focused on Tasha, asking. "If I were to say that I couldn't go with you guys for two weeks, what would you do?"

"!!!" Tasha and the others widened their eyes, feeling something wrong with that question. Even Michelle and Haruko stopped and stared at his back.

After contemplating for a minute, Tasha's expression turned serious. Her tone was calm as she pressed his chest. "I think I want to ask for the reason first."

"It's not possible to tell you." Kai shook his head in disappointment. He grabbed her hand and put a smile on his face. "But I can promise you this. It's not something involving my life. It's a super safe thing to do."

Tasha closed her eyes and asked the second question. "What can we do?"

"You can do anything. You may go anywhere in United Asia. I only need around a week, it seems, but it may take two weeks here in the worst case. Hence, I can't bring you to go around this base."

"So, we need to leave this place…"

"No. If you want to stay here, it's fine. But I feel like you are going to feel bored." He smiled, knowing that everyone's personality.

"Fine. But you should finish it as soon as possible. We will tour around this base since no one will bother us, other than the Government and the South Family. Of course, I will deal with everything here." Tasha nodded before narrowing his eyes, looking at the two people who claimed to be adults but fought over something simple.

"Why are you staring at us, Tasha?" Haruko twitched her eyebrows.

"Virgin kid should just stay quiet." Tasha snorted, shutting her up with that one sentence.

"Vir—What?"

"That's right. Why are you treating us like a kid?" Michelle narrowed her eyes.

"Shut up. You are just a s*x maniac." Tasha harrumphed and crossed her arms. "If you don't like it, why don't you call the other one here?"

Michelle halted for a second and looked away while pouting.

"Anyway, there is Ayaka as well, who can guide you."

"By the way, you can use me, you know." Haruko suddenly raised her hand as though she planned something. "I mean, you can appoint me as the guide. Since I am your childhood friend and from a big family…Although everything has disappeared right now, I can be your guide.

"There are several advantages to this. First, I can scout around the area to ensure that no one takes advantage of you during this holiday. Besides, I have completely understood how the government works, so I can simply refute everything they say.

"Second, I can walk in the broad light, inciting the Katsuragi Family's rage even further. From what I understand, you are going to fight them in Dalian, right? The more they feel this way, the bigger their reaction will be.

"Third, I can tell the people that my Yajima Family is still there, making the Katsuragi Family halt their progress for the time being, giving you more time to prepare," Haruko explained everything the conclusion she reached when she heard the announcement a few days ago.

"It seems that you have grown sharper." Tasha narrowed her eyes, observing her from top to bottom. "Ah, by the way, she can't cook. Such a shame. Even Ayaka is far better than you right now."

"Is there a need to beat me up like this again? Are you holding a grudge against me, Tasha?" Haruko scratched the back of her head, feeling embarrassed.

"Of course I am holding a grudge. Have you forgotten all the things you have done back in school? If it's not because of the vice president, I would have left already. By the way, where is she?"

"To prevent herself from getting entangled in this situation, she entered the military as soon as she graduated, so I don't have her position right now. Besides, I don't want to mess this up, resulting in us having no contact during the past year." She sighed.

"Fair enough. Maybe we will meet her during this mission, but I don't care. I only need to know that she is fine." Tasha thought for a moment and nodded. "Alright. You are hired as a guide."

"…" Haruko twitched her eyebrows. "As expected, you are really holding a grudge against me."

"I have told you, no?" Tasha shrugged. Her hand suddenly pointed at the one next to her, Michelle. "Besides, do you think you can beat both of us with arguments? You can only do it when you have that status, Miss Student Council President. Now, it's time for you to pay back for all the things you have done."

"Can I still withdraw my proposal earlier?"

"Hahaha." Everyone laughed.

Evan and Isabelle simply watched them from afar, having their own time together.

"By the way, how about you two?" Kai turned his head. "Are you going to act separately?"

They exchanged their looks first before Isabelle waved her hand. They seemed to have made an agreement beforehand, so Isabelle explained it to them. "We will follow you. Although there is ninety-five percent that the enemy won't make a move, I don't want to get trapped in that five percent. I mean, they have an S Rank Magician, right?"

"Yeah." Kai nodded. "He is Ikeda Kenzo, a Light Magician."

"Considering his age and achievement, I doubt that Evan and I can fight against him, especially with our fighting style. That's why we have agreed to tag along. Besides, it's not like we can't have alone time, right?" She smirked at Evan.

"Oh, you haven't used all the medicine? I thought there were ten bottles at that time." Kai nodded in understanding.

"Those are precious medicines. As long as we know that we love each other, it's fine." Isabelle shook her head. Evan repeatedly nodded his head, agreeing to what she said.

They had gone through this already, planning for their future. Although they might need to rely on Kai for the medicine, they didn't want to be his burden too much. With how Kai had been helping them from the start, the couple really couldn't thank him enough.

Kai not only turned Evan into an independent and strong fighter, but he also brought them together, allowing them to reach their current degree of affection.

"Alright. I agree with this." Kai contemplated for a thing before giving the confirmation to their plan. "However, I want you to keep me informed. Can you do that?"

"Once every three days should be fine. Any more than that, the Katsuragi Family will know about it, I guess." Haruko explained while calculating the scheme in her mind.

"It's fine." Kai then remembered something and asked her. "That's right. Where are your parents? I should meet them, no?"

"Ehm, I think you shouldn't for the time being. You know…Our situation is not good right now. I don't want my family to think that everything happens because of you, making them think we are dependent. Besides, I don't plan to leech on your influence or something. I rather build everything from scratch."

"Alright. I will respect your decision. When everything is solved, I will meet them once again." Kai nodded in understanding. It wasn't good to press this matter. Besides, he also hadn't met Sofia's parents.

Although they had yet to get together, their relationship almost reached that stage after staying in the same room for almost a year while being showered by affection. Only the last few months were effective though.

"Since we have the plan ready, I will let Tasha deal with the details. If that is fine, I will go to her right now." Kai smiled.

They exchanged looks. One by one began to nod their head, showing their approval.

"Good. I will go now. The sooner I start, the sooner I will finish." Kai smiled and waved his hand, meeting Mia, only to find her leading him to Ishii.

Kai told their plan to Mia and Ishii. After understanding the situation, Ishii declared that he had no intention of getting involved in his problem other than sheltering the Yajima Family here. He also told Kai that he shouldn't come and go because it would make the barrier unstable.

At the very least, he needed to wait for a week.

Mia also had told Haruko regarding this matter, so she wouldn't be dependent on this place to hide her.

Ishii also asked Kai to promise them to not get this place involved with whatever he was doing.

After getting his promise, Ishii finally gave him permission to handle everything and prepare for his study.

At first, Kai thought that he could learn other languages after studying the Oni Language, but Ishii couldn't allow him to do that. He could only give him the chance to learn the Oni Language because it would be a breach of the ancient contract.

Unfortunately, Ishii refused to tell him the exact contract. His only reply was to seek the Ancient Civilization of his own race.

Kai obviously had no clue about it and didn't know where to find them. Ishii, on the other hand, promised him to give a clue about their location if Kai managed to learn their language within a week. It would be hard, but it was doable.

The deal was made and Mia sent Tasha and the others to the outside of the place in the same way. Unlike the dolphin who was eager to show Kai his place, Ishii seemed to want to stay away from the outside world, which was understandable because people didn't look at them kindly due to the legend.

After everything was solved, Kai reached the room with only one table and a pair of chairs. Mia had been waiting for him, stretching her hand. "Let's start, shall we?"

"Please take care of me."
