Chapter 72: [Coming Over]

[China]

The very next day after both Ryuuji and Greg managed to recuperate from the battle that they have experienced during the night, they somehow manage to earn the rights to take a day off

Of course they didn't know whether such day off was given to them by the Chinese out of Goodwill for them to recuperate or just to keep an eye on the foreigners and find the culprit themselves, to take the glory for their own

Since they received the permission to slack off, it was only natural that Greg didn't held back on his native attitude

For the first time in awhile Greg let's go of his formal attitude and proper person behavior infront of the Chinese and instead let's his wild nature come out

Naturally he ordered for the best alcohol that the Chinese had

Of course the server which was only a regular citizen immediately headed over to do what he was asked

"Kaha! Drinking alcohol in the morning is really nice" said Greg as he held a bottle with one hand and reclining on the rocking chair available

"Don't you agree Ryuuji?" Asked Greg as he tried to pull someone to the same category as his

Of course seeing this Ryuuji just shook his head as he replied

"No! Not at all, I think your one of the people who drinks even in the morning, plus I'm amazed at the fact that your still looked flushed from drinking but you never really fainted after that"

"Kahahaha! That's true yet funny concept and yet it also held a fact just for me! Kahahaha!!!" Laughed Greg

Of course Ryuuji planned on ignoring him all day, when suddenly his communication device went off, this causing him to pick it up to converse with the people on the other side

(Hey! Ryu-ryu!!! Are you there?)

Of course the first one who takes over the camera of the video communication was non other than Ai

"Ai! Didn't expect that your the first on to received my reply... Can you please not get close to the camera? Your already too close that all I could see is you eye pupil" said Ryuuji

(Ah! Right! Sorry about that, I was just making sure that the person I'm talking about is right over the screen)

"That's just an excuse... Unbelievable" said Ryuuji after deducting that Ai were just making excuses to hide that blunder

At that time a hand suddenly pushed him away followed up by Jessica appearing the followed by both Alice, and Isabelle

Soon after both Jinwoo and Kanzaki showed up as they squeezed their faces in

(Unbelievable is not a statement, but for Ai's behavior... I think it's appropriate)

Hearing that coming out of Jinwoo's mouth, Ryuuji can't really hand a fathom on just how much a guy like that really joke around,bit he didn't dislike such attitude, instead such attitude are sometimes small morale

Of course Ai would complain

(What the!?!?! Jinwoo!!! Your making me look bad)

(Well isn't it a fact already that your always cheeky thus causing a scene to anywhere you go)

(Huh?!?! Really? I never heard of that... Where did that came from? Did someone has such perspective of me?)

(Well yeah! And it's actually all me)

(What!?!?! You... You tried to play tricks on me? I'll make you pay)

(Alright! I'll be waiting)

After hearing such conversation over the communication device, Ryuuji felt some kind of peace, after all such people were his teammates

(Ah! Ryu-ryu is smiling!!!)

(Hah! Your right)

(Whoa!)

Of course sound of admiration of curiosity filled the air, after all they always knew Ryuuji for being a Stern person and yet they somehow saw such sight of his just like that

"What? Is it that bad to smile? Am I not allowed to do that at all? Are you afraid that I may then gobble you up through this? I do feel like smiling for a bit" said Ryuuji

But at that statement Kanzaki said something in return

(Not really, you can smile all you want... But that smile of yours seemed forced you know)

"Ah! Is that so? Don't I have any talent for smiling at all?" Asked ryuuji dejectedly

(Honestly yes! Theoritically yes! Objectively yes! And absolutely yes! You don't have the talent of smiling unlike any people your age whether young or older than you that could easily do such things)

"That's kinda harsh do you think?" Asked Ryuuji after hearing such words coming out of kanzaki's mouth

After that he looked around and saw Greg was still on his own world but he's sure that the moment they talked over the communication device, he in turn was proactively trying to cover it up using his aura or Mana as a cloak to hide their presence to any eavesdropping people

"I presume you didn't call me for a simple reason that you found it enjoyable to just spout nonsense over the call"

(Exactly! We don't know why those Chinese are trying to hold it in and never really reported to the higher ups about such circumstances... Thus they became suspicious)

Hearing that Ryuuji in turn shook his head in denial as he cleared it up

"Your wrong! it's not that they are suspicious, it's just that they wanted the credit for themselves... After all it is their country, so it's their responsibility to take care of any problem that is happening inside, cause if they don't then they'll lose face publicly" explained Ryuuji

(Is that so? Well that does makes sense... But why I just can't fathom what's on their mind just by doing such kind of stuff)

As Kanzaki asked that, of course Greg who was just silently watching everything from the side, immediately smiled as he spoke up

"Pride! Chinese really cares for their pride, reputation and whatnot cause of their way of life... Such behaviors could be seen in movies or stories from before as if it's was real"

Of course Kanzaki was startled by the sudden interruption of another voice across the fees, this he really became even more curious than ever before

(Ryuuji? You have someone else there?)

"Well yeah! Head General Alex sent two of us, And when I say two of us meaning me and the person in. Charge to take look me over back in Hawaii" said Ryuuji

(Wow! For some reason it felt like you've been travelling around)

"Hahaha! If only those travel wasn't related to work at all" said Ryuuji as he placed his hand on his chin

(True)

But after contemplating for a bit, Ryuuji finally steeled his resolve as he asks

"By the way... Why do you need such confirmation?"

(Confirmation? Your mistaken, I was just curious... Well as for the reason why I'm talking to you with all of these on our current plates of troublesome events, all I can say if is really in a different matter)

Of course as Kanzaki said that, he also somehow unknowingly nodded his head along

"Different matter... As if! there's no way that such a call which concerning on this side to be atleast normal in anyway right? Cause for me... You look like a person who somehow planned something to throw right into, Kanzaki! Tell me what's happening... Why are you guys calling over? If just doesn't makes sense for me?" Said Ryuuji as he stared at the screen

As he stared though, Kanzaki however just gave him a nonchalant gaze as he was somehow moving something along his chatting

(Ryuuji! Your overthinking things... The thing is, since that guy that was involved in the Grandora City crisis, and London catastrophe issue, it is normal to be wary right?... So in turn with the permission of different leaders of each country, we will be heading there...our break is over here in Korea, see ya later Ryuuji!)

With that the call ended causing Ryuuji to be left behind while smiling

"Hah! Cheeky bastard"
