[London]
At the same time when the crew was opening up their device to video call to Ryuuji's location, the person himself on the other hand is currently heading over to his desk in one of his spacious room while pulling along Claire by the hand
Afterwards he then carried the little girl on his arms before sitting back on his chair and putting her on his lap
For Claire herself on the other hand, the moment she realized that she was being carried by Ryuuji was the moment she noticed that he was reaching out to his phone on his desk
Seeing that act herself, she then couldn't help but pose a question towards him
"Are you planning to talk to your friends?"
"Well maybe... plus this can be considered my leisure time in this stressful life" replied Ryuuji
Hearing his answer Claire was then excited on the prospects of talking to Ryuuji's friends back in Grandora City, after all ever since she was brought to London together with Ryuuji after the operation in the Philippines, San Fernando, she was then occasionally or more frequently being brought along to converse with the latter's friends
Due to that she then immediately came to know Kanzaki, Jinwoo, Alice, Isabelle, Ai, Jessica, and Sanaguchi which is the officer and advisor of the whole group
After few days of conversation with them, Claire then grew of fond towards Ryuuji's friends as she begun to include them as her own, thus making her excited whenever it's time for their daily conversation
Opening up Ryuuji's phone device, its screen then turned on at that right moment as Ryuuji begun connecting his network towards Grandora City system automata
Through that he would be able to converse with the rest of his team without some intruder hijacking their communication line
Right after his screen then turned wide as it showed Kanzaki, Alice, Jinwoo, and Sanaguchi on the screen
(Kanzaki:"Took you long enough!")
"Sorry about that! It's just that it became quite busy around this parts" apologized Ryuuji
Hearing his apology, Sanaguchi then came cutting in as he then said while elbowing Kanzaki
(Sanaguchi:"No need for an apology Ryuuji! We all know the situation in London and all I can say is that place is a mess...")
"Indeed! The Americans aren't giving up at all, in fact this time they are involving other country's agents to deal with their own problem for the promise of benefits, luckily the Britain's government and Queen didn't falter from the Americans offer at all and chose to safeguard me, but that didn't stop them at all, it just made them even more desperate" replied Ryuuji
(Sanaguchi:"Well that's just shows how valuable is the kid for them")
(Jinwoo:"With a power over life and death, it's quite expected that a super country would go crazy for that power, especially since they aim for immortality which is beyond our dimension")
(Kanzaki:"Either 12th dimension or 13th... I'm just guessing")
(Alice:"But pushing that aside, How is little Claire over at that place? Is she eating fine? Is she sleeping comfortably? Is she having any kind of problem in her body?")
Hearing Alice concern which is equivalent to a overprotective concerned mother, Ryuuji couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth as he rub his own temple in annoyance
But before he could even argue back to that kind of concern, Claire then immediately peeked out on the screen as she raised her hand into the air as if catching their attention
"Hai! Hai! Claire is fine! The food here is quite tasty, the bed here is quite comfy, the only problem is that it feels like everyone is quite busy around me while I'm not... if only I could help them"
Upon hearing that the group then turned towards Ryuuji who Coincidentally answered back
"Busy on protecting this place... do you know how many intruders have intruded this place in one day? About 5 of them in different time slot, due to that I couldn't get a wink of sleep, on the other hand Claire's life energy is quite helpful at times wince it replenishes our stamina accordingly, thus resisting sleep"
(Kanzaki:"Quite a handy ability indeed, much more having the capability of no rest and infinite stamina is quite a problem and a blessing at the same time, tell me how long have been since you last slept?")
"I don't know... I lost count... 2 days ago? 4 days? A week perhaps? There is just so much things happening here that I literally losing my sense of time" replied Ryuuji
Upon hearing his words, the group then couldn't help but frown upon his condition as Jinwoo suddenly asked
(Jinwoo:"Say! Do you want us to go there and help you? After all the more, the merrier! Plus you could actually get a glimpse of sleep fora change")
Feeling grateful towards Jinwoo's concern Ryuuji then simply smiled at him, before shaking his headin denial of his idea
"You don't have to concern yourself of this place, you need to stay away from here for a few months, I'll think of something to end this farce with the American research institute"
Right at that instant Sanaguchi then intervened
(Sanaguchi:"Easier said than done! Ryuuji... the American institute is not a simple opponent! They are all madman to the very core, they'll do anything just to get what they wanted, especially since this case involve a specific special individual which could control the energy of life and death, if they ever had that kind of power and harnest it to follow their will, then they will practically be gods among men... due to that many country tried their best to keep those madman away from the kid by securing the whole Britain under their protection, but as you can see they wouldn't just give up... so beg the question... how will you put a stop to such a problem when even various countries couldn't?")
Hearing that Ryuuji then pondered his thoughts for a bit, before he suddenly flinched as he felt a foreign energy entering his own sensual territory
With that he then immediately knew that an another intruder had intruded their place right at that very moment
