"It's so uncomfortable!" Sei Itō complained in a low voice as he left the banquet hall with the crowd.
It was no wonder that he was like this. There were many rules and taboos in Japanese wedding ceremonies. Let's take a normal conversation as an example. Words like leaving, returning, returning, leaving, breaking, thin, cold, shallow, extinguishing, suffering, death, repeating, breaking, breaking, and the numbers 4 and 2 would bring about inauspicious and ominous omens. This made Ito Seigao, who was used to speaking so much at weddings, and even gossiping about his friends' family matters with his acquaintances, unable to get used to it. In addition, before the wedding began, it was like a Chinese meeting, asking for introducers, parents, leaders, and other important people to speak. If it wasn't for the fact that it would be too embarrassing for Suzu Ito to leave, Sei Itō would want to leave immediately.
But fortunately, after the wedding began, it wasn't like Chinese people who would make a big fuss at the table, occupying a table and not leaving until the end of the banquet. Basically, it was more or less the same, so the process was very fast. Except for making people uncomfortable, there was no big problem.
"Ling-chan, let's find a place to play together?" Mie, who was chatting with Suzu Ito, Yumi, and Makoto, suggested.
"Yeah." Yumi on the side also echoed.
"You decide." Sei Itō looked at Suzu Ito, who looked at him and asked if there was any problem with her eyes. Obviously, Suzu Ito wanted to get together with friends she hadn't seen for a long time, but she was afraid of adding trouble to Sei Itō because of her willfulness. After all, they weren't very safe themselves …
"Okay." Suzu Ito, who saw Sei Itō's subtle movements, immediately agreed with a smile.
Seeing that Suzu Ito had agreed, Mie turned to look at Sei Itō and said with a smile, "Then I'll have to trouble you to go back by yourself."
"Okay." Sei Itō replied with a smile.
After that, Sei Itō's group of five chatted and laughed as they arrived at the parking lot. They then got into the cars of the people who had driven over. They started the car and left the banquet hall. Halfway through the journey, they split into two groups and drove in the direction of Akikuruno and Shinjuku respectively.
Sei Itō, who was driving home, first went into the bathroom to wash off the smell of alcohol on his body. Then, he put on comfortable clothes and returned to his bedroom. He took out his quantum computer and continued to use his electromagnetic control ability to slander the Cross Sect on the international network.
However, at this point, there was basically nothing to criticize. They could only use public opinion to oppress the Cross Religion. He also asked the secular media to use paparazzi to follow and monitor the Cross Sect's buildings to obstruct their actions. However, although the paparazzi had many ways to follow people, they were only effective against ordinary people. For organizations like the Church, which had special means, they were basically useless. They would only add to the psychological distress of the special people in the Church.
"There will be problems if you feel disgusted for a long time." Sei Itō chuckled in a low voice with a strange expression on his face.
At this moment. Sei Itō flipped his hand and opened the Bounty Union's mission middleware. He logged in to his user account and checked the completion status of the mission that was previously posted.
"Mission number: x10098x9925z. Completion status: Pending confirmation (item has been submitted) …"
Just as Sei Itō was about to extract the content page image of the randomly selected mission item to confirm whether the item met his requirements, a light and pleasant ringtone sounded.
He reached out and took the phone from the side. Looking down to check the caller ID, Sei Itō frowned slightly and pressed the answer button. He then put the phone to his ear.
"Mage Bella?" Sei Itō said.
Bella Jackson, one of the three female mages that Sei Itō hired in the name of magic consultant through Firth's magic intermediary in the [Magic Realm]. However, because her strength was only an official mage, which was the general grade C, she was only an official mage. Sei Itō usually didn't talk to her about magic, so their relationship was only employer and employee. Unlike Ito Sei and Ingrid Raphael, who had a very good, even ambiguous, private relationship, Lucien had with each other.
"Yes, yes." On the other side of the phone, there was obviously a little panic in her voice, but she pretended to be calm.
"Are you in any trouble?" Hearing the voice from the phone, Sei Itō asked with slight concern.
"Um, um, do you have time? I have something to talk to you about in person. "Bella said with hesitation.
"… Okay." After a moment of silence, Sei Itō agreed. "Time, place."
"Half, half an hour, in the public square in the Slanwa district where I live, is that okay?" Bella stuttered.
"I got it," Ito Seiyu replied vaguely, and then hung up the phone without any explanation.
"A trap …" Sei Itō, who was flipping the phone in his hand, muttered to himself, "Who will be next? Betty Arnold? Or Ingrid Raphael? "
Then he put these useless thoughts aside for the time being. He pulled up his sister Suzu Ito's phone number and told her that he had to leave home for a while, and he wasn't sure when he would be home. He also told her to be careful and to be careful. Then he formed a seal with one hand and used the transformation technique to turn into a twenty-four or twenty-five year old British young man. He then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to disappear from his home and appeared on the streets of England. He then strolled toward one of the entrances to the [Magic Realm].
"There's no one here?" Sei Itō didn't find any special arrangement at the entrance, and it was still crowded as usual. He was surprised.
"It seems that the senior management of the [Magic Realm] is very dissatisfied with the blocking of the road last time." With this thought in mind, Sei Itō began to chant the secret words to open the door of the [Magic Realm] and stepped into the [Magic Realm].
Sei Itō, who appeared directly at the end of Merlin Avenue, went straight to the public teleportation circle, took out the [Magic Realm] card, paid the teleportation fee, and stepped into the teleportation circle to the Slanwa district.
In an instant. The scene in Sei Itō's eyes changed from the originally clean and tidy European-style stone street to a place with potholes on the ground. Most of the residents were ordinary people, and they were dressed in a very rustic manner. The location of the teleportation circle was in the center of the public square of the block.
Sei Itō walked out of the teleportation circle and glanced at the surrounding crowd without leaving a trace while walking toward Bella Jackson's residence with a clear goal.
"Could it be that I'm wrong? Bella Jackson has other important matters to see me, and she didn't call me because she was forced by the members of the church as I thought? " Sei Itō didn't find any suspicious people in the sparse crowd as he thought to himself with a slight frown.
Just like this, Sei Itō finally came to a place with a slightly dirty wall. At first glance, it looked like an independent house that had a sense of time. He reached out his hand and pressed on the magic circle carved on the side of the door frame that had the same function as a modern doorbell.
As the magic circle lit up, Bella's calm voice came from the magic circle, "Hello, who are you looking for?"
"Hello, Miss Bella, I'm a staff member of the Stark Express Company. There's a mail from overseas that needs to be delivered to you personally. Can I trouble you to open the door?" Sei Itō used a disguised voice. He used the name of a delivery company in the [Magic Realm] as an excuse to reply.
"My mail?" Bella repeated in confusion.
"Yes, the mail is sent from China," Sei Itō replied.
"Oh, please wait for a moment," Bella said.
As soon as her voice fell, the magic circle that Sei Itō pressed on with his hand quickly extinguished. However, a soft "creak" came from the door. Then, Bella Jackson, who was wearing casual home clothes and had messy short red hair, walked out from the opened door. She looked like she had just woken up and didn't have time to wash up.
Seeing Bella, Sei Itō didn't pretend anymore. He immediately stepped forward and pulled Bella into his arms. Without any explanation, he lowered his head and kissed her lips that didn't have any lip gloss on.
"Hmm …" Bella, who was suddenly attacked, instantly forgot the fact that she was an official mage. She stared blankly at the face of the British young man that Ito Sei had transformed into. Her eyes were wide open, and she rejected him like a little girl.
In order to facilitate his investigation. Sei Itō hugged Bella Jackson's body tightly to prevent her from struggling. At the same time, he quickly scanned the room behind Bella with the corner of his eyes to see if there was an ambush from the Church in the room. At the same time, he activated his spiritual sensing ability to detect Bella Jackson's current thoughts.
Under the perception of Lv. 7 spiritual sensing ability, Bella Jackson's spiritual activities immediately appeared clearly in Ito Sei's eyes. At this moment, other than thinking about the identity of the man in front of her and how she could break free from his shackles, Ito Sei also caught a thought that was temporarily suppressed, but occasionally popped up in her mind.
With the appearance of this thought, Sei Itō roughly understood the reason why Bella Jackson was looking for him this time. It wasn't to help the Church ambush him as he expected. Instead, it was for some very personal reasons that she wanted to borrow money from him!
"Phew!" Sei Itō understood that he was overthinking and let go of Bella Jackson's shackles.
Bella Jackson, who had enough time to break free from Sei Itō's shackles, immediately retreated. At the same time, she waved her right hand and chanted a simple spell to cast a Level-0 spell, Illuminating Spell, at Sei Itō.
In an instant, a dazzling white light appeared in front of Sei Itō and Bella, blocking each other's vision.
However, Bella, who was already prepared for her own spell, closed her eyes the moment the Illuminating Spell lit up. Then, she opened her eyes again in the next second and continued to wave her hand to chant a spell. She used a Level-1 Arrow Shot Spell to shoot a slender metal stick behind the door at Sei Itō, who should be in a state of temporary blindness due to the Illuminating Spell.
But at this point, Bella still didn't stop her magic attack. She waved her hand again and chanted a long spell that was one or two syllables longer than the previous two spells. She summoned an invisible wind rope that stopped beside her. She was prepared to use it after Sei Itō was hit by the metal stick. The time taken for this series of magic attack was less than three seconds. It clearly showed that Bella, as an official Mage, had a solid foundation and was proficient in magic control.
If it was against an ordinary attacker, Bella's combination of spells would definitely be effective. Unfortunately, her opponent was her employer, Sei Itō, an expert who was about to step into the S-Realm. Therefore, even though the Illuminating Spell had a certain effect, the metal stick that came after the arrow was easily caught by Sei Itō. It couldn't move an inch forward. She didn't cast a Binding Spell like the Cursed Lion to imprison herself in place.
As Bella's face was filled with despair, Sei Itō, with the metal stick in his hand, flashed into Bella's room and locked the door behind him.
"Bella, take a good look. It's me." As Sei Itō spoke, he dispelled the effects of the Transfiguration Spell and the Binding Spell on Bella. Bella regained her freedom.
"Chen?!" Bella cried out in shock when she saw Sei Itō's face clearly. She would never have thought that this strange man who suddenly kissed her, grabbed her metal stick with his physical strength, and knew the Cursed Lion was the person who hired her as a Mage Consultant. He was only at the level of an Apprentice — Chen Xichen!
"Yes, it's me! For some reason, I thought this invitation was a trap to ambush me. That's why I did what I did just now to make sure that you weren't an enemy. I apologize for that. "Sei Itō spread his hands in front of him and explained helplessly while shaking his head.
"…" Bella was silent for a moment. She then exclaimed in an agitated tone, "You treated me like that just because of your suspicions?! Did you know? I thought you were going to rape me just now! You might even kill me afterward! Do you know how scared and desperate I was just now?! An apology would be enough! No! Absolutely not! "
"Then what do you want me to do? Compensate you? "Sei Itō asked in return.
"Yes!" Bella Jackson, who was thinking of turning the passive into the active, answered subconsciously when she heard the words that completely matched the answer in her heart. However, she quickly came back to her senses and said with an awkward expression, "Yes, you should compensate me for the psychological trauma you caused me. Compensation for the psychological damage!"
"Alright, how much do you want?" Sei Itō asked while trying to hold back his laughter.
"Two thousand Merlin gold!" Bella demanded an exorbitant price.
"Oh, my god, you're asking for too much. Bella, two thousand Merlin gold is enough for me to buy a good-looking woman with magic power in the black market! If I'm lucky, I can even buy a woman who's at the level of an official Mage! You want two thousand Merlin gold for just kissing you and scaring you?! Then I might as well rape you once! That's more like it. " Sei Itō retorted with an exaggerated expression. At the same time, his gaze landed on Bella's chest and a strange smile appeared on his face.
