Chapter 223 - 131: Revelation (4)
Emera and the others also reported on their findings, and then the conversation shifted to their future plans.
Arlon, Sero, and some of his men, would conduct a thorough
Uzume had nothing else to do there, and after those words her body began glowing. After a flash, she transformed into the suzaku Piisuke, though to be more precise, they had switched places.
「Wha-! Uzume turned into a bird?!」
Emera said loudly in shock. Anyone who did not know her skill would think that. So Mira had to explain in her stead, saying that she had an onmyoji skill that allowed her to exchange places with a shikigami.
And she had used that to return to the Fifty Bells' headquarters far away.
「Thanks for explaining! That's exactly it, and I'll be back to Piisuke's place soon enough. Until then, I hope you'll take good care of Piisuke, Mira. Just tell me if you need anything though.」
When Mira was done explaining, Piisuke spoke with Uzume's voice. This was shocking to Emera and the others as well, but they had just seen her switch places with a shikigami, so it was not as impactful. But Mira looked annoyed, being put in charge of Piisuke.
「Anyway, see you later.」
Before anyone could fully comprehend what happened, Uzume's last words rang and Piisuke began glowing. Then he gradually turned smaller, until he was small enough to fit on the palm of a hand. He looked like a miniature suzaku.
「Ohh, he turned small.」
The small Piisuke began flapping its tiny wings, flying up and landing on Mira's head.
「Aww, so cute!」
Fricca was the first to react. Everyone agreed that a small plump Piisuke was really cute, but Fricca meant something slightly different. She was highlighting the fact that Mira's cuteness had been heightened with the presence of Piisuke. Cute girls and small animals were always a perfect combination.
After that the meeting focused on the smaller details.
Sero was in charge of searching for any places where an entrance to Chimera Clauzen's was likely to be, but they still had to decide exactly how he would look through them.
There Mira told them of the magic sensing alarms she found in Melville's warehouse complex, and that it was likely the entrances were also protected with similar devices. After all, the main base was the most crucial building for a group like that.
It was only much later that night that everything was decided and everyone knew where and how to search, and there were no more questions. Everyone stood up, and Mira yawned loudly before saying, 「I guess I'll take a bath and call it a night then.」 That made Fricca cling onto her, which made Emera follow the two to the bathroom.
The three girls made a lot of noise as they headed there, and the men were spurred by them and also followed to take a bath in a good mood.
