Under the darkness of the moonlit night, a huge Tanker Ship was leaning on the harbor of Academy Island.
Like a lavish garden party, sparkling beautiful lights were seen surrounding the Ocean Cradle Tanker Ship. This creates a beautiful and elegant impression of the place.
At the entrance of the Ocean Cradle Tanker Ship, there was a group of men and women dressed in luxurious formal attire queuing up. They all came to bring their partners.
These men and women were all wealthy people, businessmen, politicians, public figures, and also top artists. Smiling politely, they handed over the invitation to the reception staff and immediately climbed onto the deck of the ship.
Currently, the floor of the tanker Ocean Cradle's spacious deck had been covered with a bright red carpet. On the carpet, lined tables covered with white cloth scattered at many points.
On the dining table, champagne and delicious cuisine seemed to almost fill the table. Coupled with the sea breeze, the aroma of the food becomes very unique and appetizing.
The upper class people gather on the deck to chat, dance, and also establish business relations. Many of them laughed and toasted. Obviously, this party is made so that these people can establish business relationships or just look for links.
Shortly after, a long Limousine came from the direction of Butei High School and stopped in front of the Ocean Cradle Tanker.
When the Limousine door opened, Ryan and Aria got out of the car.
Wuush
A cold sea breeze hit Aria's long dress. Tonight Aria was wearing a beautiful princess dress with her shoulders open, so her slender, smooth shoulders were very tempting.
This dress is also combined with a transparent scarf cloth that makes Aria look like an angel down from heaven.
Meanwhile, Ryan is wearing a dark tuxedo that makes him look like an heir to a big company.
“Aria, you really look charming in this outfit. As if you are a European noble who came to visit Academy Island.” praise Ryan with his sweet smile.
“Humph!” Aria snorted as she turned her red face away from Ryan. “It is only natural that I am beautiful like a noble, because I was from the beginning a real noble!”
Ryan could only shake his head to look at Aria's behavior. He understood Aria was acting like this because she blushed embarrassed by Ryan's words.
After three days of living with Aria in one room, Ryan begins to understand the nature of Aria.she is an acute Tsundere girl, which when her Tsundere relapses, she will be very irritating.
In that case, Ryan just raised his hand posing in surrender and said, "OK, I know how. Ordinary people couldn't possibly get this invitation very quickly."
“Of course, that's a very easy thing. I just need to call the Foreign Minister directly and say that I am very bored at Butei.” High School
“I stressed to the Minister of Foreign Affairs that I want to relax at a dance party over the sea.”
“And the next day, I immediately received this invitation letter.” explained Aria by showing her arrogant face.
Ryan then glanced at the limousine behind him and laughed, "Could this Limousine be lent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"
“Of course not. I'm rich, I don't have to ask people like that.”
Aria looked puzzled at Ryan and said, "You yourself are an S rank Butei. You should have a lot of money too. Moreover, you are very crazy working in class 1.”
“I do have a lot of money, but I'm not interested in wasting it. Better the money is used to buy various equipment that I can use in the mission.” explained Ryan.
Weapons, Capabilities, and Equipment were important powers for Butei. In fact, in the Reincarnation Room, these three things were the three main pillars of a Reincarnator.
Butei is not a police officer. So, unlike a police officer whose equipment costs are all state-funded, Butei has to spend his own money on gun maintenance and also buy various other equipment such as ammunition.
Therefore, in Butei, there is a saying that money equals power.
Hearing Ryan's explanation, Aria half-shuddered and laughed out loud, "Hahahaha. Maybe because of this, you are very reliable."
Ryan smiled and extended his elbow to Aria and said, "Then, let me escort this little angel of mine as a reliable person.”
Looking at Ryan's elbow towards her, as the daughter of a noble family, Aria naturally understood the meaning of Ryan's actions.
With a reddish charming face, Aria coughed, and placed her hand on Ryan's elbow.
“Let's go in, my bidar.”
After saying so, Ryan walked with Aria to the reception staff.
In front of the Ocean Cradle Tanker. The receiving staff smiled politely and bowed towards Ryan and Aria.
“Dear Lord and Miss, please show me your invitation letter. Allow us to check it out for a moment.”
Ryan and Aria looked at each other. Aria then issued an invitation letter and handed it to Ryan first. After that, Ryan handed the invitation letter to the reception staff.
After verifying that the invitation letter was genuine, the staff bowed. "Ryan-san, Miss Kanzaki, welcome to Ocean Cradle."
Both Ryan and Aria nodded with polite smiles. Like any high-class person in general, they climbed onto the deck accompanied by the respect of the reception staff.
For Assault class students, infiltration to conduct investigations was common. Therefore, Ryan was already used to this level of intrusion.
After they would climb onto the deck quietly Ryan scanned his surroundings and stared intently at the top of a building located near the harbor.
There, a reflection of light was visible.
Look at Ryan's point of view. Aria whispered to him. "The windy are there."
Ryan gently nodded, averted his gaze and followed Aria up onto the deck.
On the top floor of the tanker, in a room, there was a black silhouette looking at Ryan and Aria from the window. At that moment, the two of them seemed to be walking up the stairs towards the deck
On the face of that black silhouetted figure, a smile gradually appeared. The smile looked like a thorny rose and was extremely poisonous, making the person who saw it would feel that the figure was extremely dangerous.
With more and more invited guests present, the atmosphere on the deck also became more lively.
As a high society, every guest here greeted each other. Ryan did not do it.
At first, some party guests approached Ryan and invited him to chat. However, Ryan ignored him and answered their questions curiously.
After several times continued to do the gal, finally there was no longer a guest who invited him to speak.
At the same time, many people were trying to get Aria to chat. The status of Aria, who was a noble, became a magnet for the upper class. They all wanted to establish a relationship with a noble.
Unlike Ryan who still answered carelessly, Aria even frontally drove them all away.
That way, no one dared to approach Aria anymore.
This is exactly what Ryan and Aria want. The two of them were now leaning on the edge of the deck fence while continuing to look at the crowd that was in front of them.
"Do you want to go around this ship now?" ask Aria.
Ryan drank a glass of champagne in his hand for a moment before answering Aria's question.
"This Tanker Ship is huge. There are many strategic places to hide bombs here."
"I'm sure we won't be able to find the bomb so quickly in a place this wide, unless Butei Killer has started the action."
"Hmm, that makes sense." Aria sighed and stuck her finger on the communication device in her ear that was hidden under her long hair. "Reki, did you see any suspicious people around here?"
"Negative." Reki replied in an emotionless voice from the communication tool.
“However, the frequency of movement of the Tanker Ship seemed a bit abnormal."
"The frequency of the Tanker Ship's movements?" Ryan also heard Reki's remarks through the earphones. "You can also see things like this?"
“Ya.” Reki's voice was still emotionless. "Although there may be fluctuations caused by the waves, the frequency of the movements of these Tanker Ships has changed since a few minutes ago."
Reki's vision really cannot be underestimated. The distance of the building where Reki was hiding was hundreds of meters from the Ocean Cradle Tanker Ship.
Even at this distance, Reki can see and feel the difference in the movement of the ship.
"Reki, if you find anything suspicious, please tell me immediately" Aria said.
Reki doesn't answer, but Aria and Ryan know that Reki agrees.
After gathering information from Reki, Ryan suddenly heard a very familiar innuendo in his ear.
"Oh yeah? Isn't this Ryan-san?"
Hearing this voice, Ryan raised his eyebrows and looked towards the origin of the voice.
There, a bespectacled man in a dark tuxedo suit comes up to Ryan and Aria.
At the sight of this person's identity, Aria shouted, "Sayonaki-sensei?"
"Kanzaki-san's family is also here." A perfect smile appeared on Sayonaki's handsome face. "I didn't expect to see you two here."
Ryan also didn't think that Sayonaki would show up here. Ryan did not show that expression. He remained calm and smiled in front of Sayonaki.
"Did Sayonaki-sensei also come to participate in this dance?"
"I was invited by the organizer." Sayonaki. "There are a lot of people I know here. So this isn't the first time I've participated in a dance like this."
"Instead, meeting Ryan-san here, really surprised me a lot." Sayonaki laughs.
"Kanzaki-san is a noble from England. It's no surprise that he showed up here."
"However, Ryan-san …"
"You don't seem to have a pretty prominent background. I almost thought that I had seen wrong."
At a glance, there was no problem with the sentence Sayonaki said. However, many people who had heard Sayonaki's voice understood the meaning of his words.
In essence, Sayonaki quipped Ryan and argued that this was not a place that people like Ryan could go to.
"However, I heard that Ryan-san and Kanzaki-san seem to have formed a team."
Sayonaki smiled, however, the direction of Sayonaki-sensei's conversation suddenly changed.
"Can you be a good match for Kanzaki-san, who is a noble, Ryan-san?"
"You really are a very lucky man. If all this goes well, maybe later you will no longer need to do dangerous missions to receive money."
The meaning of this sentence is even clearer.
Sayonaki assumes that Ryan is only using Aria to make easy money from her.
"Kanzaki-san, right?" Sayonaki said in the same tone as when she was teaching.
“Ryan-san is a very valuable talent in the Butei community. He is a person only able to develop if trained properly.”
This time, even Aria could not hold back her emotions anymore. As Aria was about to say something, Ryan's hand held her shoulder.
Ryan looked at Sayonaki with his calm face and nonchalantly said, "Thank you Sensei."
"Sama-sama ..." Sayonaki smiled and said, "Then, I won't bother you two anymore. If there's anything, you can meet me right away."
After that, Sayonaki turned around and walked away from where Ryan and Aria were
Seeing Sayonaki's back getting further away, Ryan's brows finally started to wrinkle.
Ryan did not care about the provocation from Sayonaki. However, this only deepened Ryan's doubts.
"Why is this guy always against me?"
