8 Deliberations

"They have been active lately."

With a downhearted reaction, Izumi concerningly replied to Shin's question

'Is this the time that they will gonna pull it off?'

Shin babbled in his inner mind.

*sniff" *sigh"

In a calming manner, Shin inhaled some air and tranquilly exhaled it with a big sigh.

"So, may you kindly tell me exactly what the Constellations look like?"

Shin benignantly solicited the dejected Izumi.

"You really wanna know?"

The melancholy appearance of Izumi was removed from his face.

"I'll say it again. I am now a member of this agency's branch so I need to take part of it from now on.

Shin confidently declared his current social status.

"Now I will also repeat this. May you kindly tell me exactly what the Constellations look like?"

He reiterated his considerate request.

~~~~~

"I heard that there is a new guy at the Superior Branch, making it up to the maximum recruitment."

A tall short-haired woman brought up a topic.

"Ohh..That geezer finally acquired the last piece on his team that I will crush someday."

An arrogant boy with a neck collar (he is not a dog but he has a collar without a name but still not for a dog.) haughtily bragged his response.

"Shin"

Suddenly, a little twintailed girl broached Shin's name.

*chuckle"

The tall woman snickered to what she just heard.

"HEY..I did not mean that kind of Shin. Continue laughing or I'll annihilate you."

Hiding her embarrassment by being angry, the little girl scold the woman about the misunderstanding.

"I-I know that, I know that. I'm just joking."

The short-haired woman hysterically giggled at her.

*Ehem" the little girl cleared her throat.

"I meant to say that the last fragment of the group is Kayamura Shin."

She plainly verbalized it in a dignified tone.

"Ohh..That man got a big shot?"

The boastful boy was astonished.

He knew that 'Kayamura Shin' is the current defending champion of the Annual Championship Tournament.

*Thud thud*

"She is coming."

The tall woman gave a notice to the other two as she heard some footsteps going to their way.

*sfx: opened door*

"Good Afternoon, everyone."

A masked lady appeared at their site through the door.

"Oh..Good Afternoon."

"Hey, did you know that she said Shin?"

"Just disregard that awful incomprehension, can you?"

The trio gladly greeted her back.

"So, did he went again somewhere?"

The masked lady inquired the three with awareness.

"Oh about that, yeah. He did went somewhere."

The little girl replied with a smirk.

"Tch..that useless leader is at it again."

The masked girl complained annoyingly.

~~~~~

"Alright."

Finally, Izumi agreed to him.

Before narrating, he arranged his hair back to normal by stroking and brushing it.

"Hmm..I'll just start from the beginning."

He decided to just commence the fundamental informations.

"Constellations, or should I say, the 12 Z-Constellations. They are the only people blessed with the Chinese Zodiac Constellations' powers."

Izumi began introducing the enemy group.

"It became the Top-Priority Mission of not only the Rokyuu Agency, also of the Sango Agency."

Ordinarily, he also mentioned the other agency's name.

"We do not know their real origin but it started last year. 12 people suddenly appeared at the sky while Daisuke was the defending champion of the Annual Championship Tournament.

Izumi started to explain the situation they had last year.

"The 12 Z-Cons separated and only 2 individuals left at the scene. The two had caused massive destruction on that day. The city was pulverized and the residents were decimated."

He is now at the part where he described the effects of their invasion.

"The two that had left were the same guys that I faced off yesterday."

Confidently, Izumi articulated the almost conflict that he experienced.

"Even though there was no real fight that took place, I can feel that they are troublesome people to deal with."

Izumi had a bad impulse about the Constellations.

'He has a good instinct, not gonna lie.'

Shin said a good thing about Izumi.

"Daisuke fought one of the Constellations. He was effortlessly defeated by L-"

"Wait a second."

Shin interrupted their discussion.

"I understand now who are the constellations and what happened. I'll ask for more intel about them if I get to face them soon."

He was satisfied to the data he got.

"Oh by the way, I need one last information about them."

I thought he is okay now but he wasn't.

"Eh..Alright, what is it?"

Izumi grumpily accepted Shin's requisition.

"Every villian has a motive they want to fulfill. Do you know what is theirs?"

Shin questioned Izumi if he knew their goal.

'Now..I will question him again to see if he really has a good instinct.'

He was talking to himself about facts unbeknownst to us.

"Oh..I recently overheard it from the two Constellations I met the other day. Their objective was to f-"

*sfx: slammed door*

"RENE! THE CONSTELLATIONS ARE AT THE SKY!"

Astoundingly, Ai, who went outside before the discussion started, barged into the room.

She was bringing an astonishing news for everyone inside.

"Should I join in, Rene?"

Shin politely asked the leader of the Branch.

"HOHO..Don't be too hard on yourself on your first day. Just be a witness for this time."

Rene stepped up for the Superior Branch's sake.

He went outside pridefully and casted his eyes up on the sky with a serious look.

"HOHO..Bringing the same old duo until now. You know what? I am always getting bored whenever I see your faces, Leo and Libra."
