Two days later, the military plane escorting Sibo Shenxue arrived in Japan and landed at a military airport.
As for Fangzheng and company, they were already waiting there.
In addition to Fangzheng, there were two other people who came with him to welcome Sibo Shenxue.
One of them was Second Lieutenant Suako Fujibayashi of the technical headquarters of the National Defence Department of the National Defence Force. She was the granddaughter of the head of the Kyushima family, one of the Ten Master Clans, nicknamed the Electric Witch. Because she was both a Ten Master Clan and a Second Lieutenant of the army, she was here to be responsible for the acceptance of Sibo Shenxue.
The other was a girl who looked to be about 13 or 14 years old. She had black hair and was wearing a Gothic costume. Her dressing style was quite similar to Black Cat's. She was the eldest daughter of the Black Wing Clan, the Black Wing Clan. Due to the relationship between Sibo Shenxue and the Four Leaves Clan, she was here as the representative of the Four Leaves Clan.
So strictly speaking, Fangzheng had the least reason to be here. The only reason he was here was to be the representative of the Japanese magic community. As for his relationship with Sibo Shenxue, it was not that important.
The plane slowly stopped in front of the three of them. The hatch opened, and heavily armed STARS members escorted Sibo Shenxue out of the plane.
Fangzheng could no longer see Sibo Shenxue's original appearance. Well, this was to be expected, because Sibo Shenxue was now wrapped in a white restraining suit similar to the one used to control patients in a mental hospital. Even her mouth was gagged. Judging from the black leather belts around her body and the Yang crystals inlaid on them, the United States had put in a lot of effort to seal Sibo Shenxue's magic.
"..."
Seeing this scene, the expression on Suako Fujibayashi's face stiffened. No matter what, Sibo Shenxue was the head of the Four Leaves Clan. Now that she had become like this, of course she could not stand it. If possible, she also wanted to help Sibo Shenxue get out of her current situation immediately, but she was only the representative of the branch clan after all. Since neither Fangzheng nor Suako Fujibayashi said anything, she naturally had no say.
Soon, Fangzheng and Suako looked at each other. The latter stepped forward and bowed to each other.
"I'm Second Lieutenant Xiangzi Fujibayashi of the Independent Magic Brigade of the National Defense Army. I've been ordered to come and receive the criminal Sibo Shenxue."
"I'm the captain of STARS, Angie."
Of course, Angelina wasn't in her blonde and blue-eyed state like she was in school. She was still using magic to disguise herself as the red-haired, masked adult woman Fangzheng had seen before. She bowed to Fujibayashi Sōko and nodded to the people beside her. Then, the other two members pushed Siba Shenxue to Fujibayashi Sōko and left.
"Then, our mission has come to an end. The criminal Sibo Shenxue has been completely handed over to you."
"We did accept it."
After the two parties exchanged a few words, Anji and Fujibayashi Sachiko signed the handover notice. After the procedures were completed, Anji led his men away and boarded the plane. The plane roared once again as it glided off the runway and into the sky. It seemed that they did not want to stay here for even a second longer.
Although this was understandable.
"I'll leave the rest to you."
Fangzheng nodded to Fujibayashi Sōko and Yakuza and was about to leave. After all, this was a matter between the army and the Four-leaf family. He would not get involved … Although that was what Fangzheng thought, things did not go according to his wishes.
"Please wait a moment, Master Harukino."
The first to speak was Yakuza.
"Actually, the Four-leaf branch family has a presumptuous request that we hope you can agree to."
"Since it's a presumptuous request, then don't mention it."
Fangzheng decisively refused the request of the beautiful fourteen-year-old girl. He did not even need to think to know what these people were thinking.
Unfortunately, Yakuza was not the only one who had such a thought at the scene.
"Don't be like this, Harukino-kun. In fact, the army also has a favor to ask of you."
Fujibayashi Sōko looked at Fangzheng with a smile and put her palms together.
"This is also a favor from the Ten Teachers Clan."
"… I shouldn't have come to this damn place today."
Fangzheng rolled his eyes helplessly.
"Speak."
Hearing Fangzheng's words, the two looked at each other, and then …
"I hope you can take in Miss Deep Snow."
"I hope you can take in Miss Sibo."
'Damn it, I knew it.'
"I refuse, this is not my problem. The Ten Teachers Clan is in charge of the magic world, the army has to deal with criminals, and Deep Snow is a member of the Four-leaf family. This is your job. Although I am Sibo Deep Snow's classmate, I am an outsider in this aspect."
Fangzheng did not care about these trivial matters.
"But we do not have the power to suppress Miss Deep Snow."
"The same goes for the army, Harukino-kun. Do you think we are so extravagant as to have a Sirius level strategist guard Sibo Deep Snow 24 hours a day? Not to mention, we don't have a strategist like Sirius."
"Then why don't we just kill her? In any case, it can be considered as a fallen leaf returning to its roots, returning to its hometown. "
"…"
Hearing Fangzheng's suggestion, the two shook their heads.
"Her brother is the hero of our army. To be honest, we want to punish her as leniently as possible."
"Miss Deep Snow is the only remaining direct descendant of the Four-leaf family."
"But what good does this do for me?"
Even so, Fangzheng still refused to give in.
"You must have done your research, so you should know that my relationship with Sibo Deep Snow isn't particularly close, and I have no special reason to take her in."
Fangzheng wasn't lying. In school, his relationship with Sibo Deep Snow could only be considered as familiar classmates, and not good friends like Hokuto Kitayama and Mitsuka Mitsui. Strictly speaking, they were at the level where they would greet each other and occasionally chat.
"If you are willing to take in Miss Sibo, the army is willing to provide a certain degree of support for your next plan."
'You make it sound like you don't intend to provide support.'
Fangzheng shrugged and didn't say a word. Blackwing Yayako hesitated for a moment, then said.
"If … .you think it's a waste of time to take care of Miss Deep Snow, then I can take care of her."
"So what you're saying is …?"
"I can stay by your side with her and serve the two of you."
'So this is buy one get one free?' 'Does the Blackwing family think I won't refuse?'
"Okay then."
Fangzheng nodded.
"Since it won't waste my time, that's fine too."
Then, he opened his mouth and answered.
It seemed that there was indeed no special reason to refuse.
After that, Fujibayashi Sachiko bade farewell and left. Fangzheng took the Black Feather family's car back to his house with Sibo Shenxue. As Black Feather Yayako insisted on changing Sibo Shenxue's clothes as soon as possible, Fangzheng did not object. After all, the clothes made him look like a walking mummy. It was horrifying.
After returning to Fangzheng's home, Blackwing Yayako quickly untied the hood on Sibo Deep Snow's head and released her.
Only then did Fangzheng finally see Sibo Deep Snow again.
Unlike the previous Sibo Deep Snow, the current young lady had a gloomy expression, lifeless eyes, and her pitch-black hair draped over her shoulders like a female ghost on TV. Moreover, she had her head lowered and didn't react at all. If she were to take a camera and film a movie, it wouldn't be out of place at all.
But Fangzheng felt that Sibo Deep Snow's ghost-like appearance was more realistic. At least, it was much better than her previous pretentious appearance.
At least she looked like a human now.
"Miss Deep Snow, it's me, I'm Yayako. Can you hear me?"
Blackwing Yayako also urgently called out Sibo Deep Snow's name, but the latter just lowered her head and didn't move, as if she didn't hear anything.
"Please cheer up, you're the only heir of the Four Leaves Family. Lord Tatsuya is gone, now only you are left …"
"Big Brother …"
At this point, Sibo Shenxue finally reacted. But her voice was like that of a ghost from hell.
"Big Brother … unforgivable … unforgivable!!!"
Along with Sibo Deep Snow's banshee-like roar, a cold wind suddenly erupted with her as the center. Even Blackwing Yayako was caught off guard and was sent flying. At that moment, Fangzheng let out a cold snort. The next moment, the ice storm that erupted from Sibo Deep Snow disappeared. Her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
"If ghosts really exist in this world, she'll definitely become a malicious ghost after she dies."
Fangzheng picked up the coffee that Blackwing Yayako had just brewed and took a sip. The originally steaming hot coffee had now become iced coffee … Forget it, it's fine as long as it's drinkable.
"No wonder the Americans did this to her. I thought they were just venting their anger."
"… … …"
Blackwing Yayako did not say a word. She obviously did not expect Sibo Deep Snow's mental state to be so unstable. Judging from the current situation, Sibo Deep Snow was obviously delirious. She had a complete mental breakdown … This was more troublesome than they had imagined.
"I'm sorry, Lord Harukino. I need to get in touch with the Blackwing Family immediately."
"Whatever, but don't think about leaving the trouble to me. Otherwise, I'll throw her in front of your house tomorrow."
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Blackwing Yayako did not say anything. She just bowed and left with a solemn expression.
For a branch family with four leaves, this was a very serious problem.
