High in the sky.
Above the clouds, an airship glided smoothly.
Inside the cabin, Moses closed the door and let out a long, tired sigh.
'This unexpected situation had been barely managed.'
'Once the spaceship landed, meeting Lisha should help me escape from Biscuit's attention.'
Twelve hours.
That's approximately the time it would take for the airship to reach Spice City Airport.
Moses sat in a chair, closing his eyes to rest.
Originally, he was supposed to undergo pain tolerance training at this time. However, Biscuit's presence made him abandon the idea of summoning the shadow dummy and beating it up.
At any rate, missing one day of regular training wouldn't make much of a difference, and he had no intention of leaving his room until the airship landed.
Time passes slowly.
In the evening, as the sun set in the west, the massive airship gently descended onto the airport.
"Finally arrived."
Looking at the airport scenery outside the window, Moses sighed in relief. Then, he quickly left the room and headed straight to the exit.
He didn't encounter Biscuit along the way and smoothly disembarked from the airship.
Moses quickly identified his location and headed straight for the airport's lobby.
Arriving at the airport's lobby, Moses quickly glanced around.
He is looking for a public phone.
After all, he didn't know what Lisha looked like, or whether Lisha had arrived.
But soon, Moses's gaze, which had been scanning the surroundings, suddenly stopped, drawn to a person—or more accurately, to a sign.
"Pants Shitter"
These were the words on the sign, neatly written.
Next to the sign was a tall, long-haired woman wearing a white shirt, a black skirt, and light-colored sunglasses.
Her neat and professional appearance exuded a conspicuous workplace aura.
"…"
Moses could be reasonably sure that this woman was Lisha, but he remained silent.
Looking at the words on the sign, Moses decided that he would make it a point to avoid provoking Lisha in the future.
He shook his head slightly and walked straight over.
Beside the sign.
Lisha also noticed a boy's silent scrutiny of the sign. Now, seeing the boy walking directly toward her, she concluded that the boy is Moses, whom her Master had instructed her to take special care of.
She lifted her light-colored sunglasses with her slender index finger, carefully and attentively examining Moses as he approached.
'Not bad looking, but he doesn't look like Master at all, so it's safe to rule out the possibility of him being her illegitimate child.'
These thoughts of joking and teasing swirled in her mind, and Lisha smiled slightly.
It was mainly because it was the first time her master had shown such concern for a person. When instructing her, she had even emphasized it several times.
It is inevitable that she would entertain the whimsical thought that Moses might be her master's illegitimate child.
Moreover, before Cheadle's instructions, she who had known Cheadle for many years, had no information about Moses, who suddenly appeared.
If Cheadle hadn't specifically explained it to her...
"Kester?"
Lisha walked over, not directly calling Moses by his real name.
"Yeah, Sister Lisha."
Moses had a smile on his face, choosing to ignore the sign.
Lisha also had a smile on her face and she asked softly: "Are you hungry?"
"A little bit."
"Heh, let's go then. Sister will take you to try Spice City's local specialties."
"Sure."
After a brief conversation, Lisha led Moses to the parking lot.
Following behind Lisha, Moses didn't forget to observe his surroundings before leaving the airport's lobby.
He felt that Biscuit might be watching him from somewhere.
However, after a few rounds of observation, he didn't find anything.
In no time. Lisha took Moses to a blue sports car in the open-air parking lot.
"Get in."
Lisha opened the driver's door and got in, with Moses following suit and sat in the passenger seat next to her.
Brrm—
The engine roared, and the blue sports car shot forward like a rocket.
"Moses, did you encounter trouble on the airship?"
Lisha asked casually, keeping her eyes on the road.
Moses was slightly surprised, as he didn't expect Lisha to be aware of his situation at that time.
"Sort of. I ran into someone who had bad intentions towards me. When we disembarked, I thought she would follow me. But maybe seeing you made her give up."
"She? You mean, there is a woman with bad intentions towards you?"
Lisha glanced at Moses out of the corner of her eye, and her expression became slightly weird.
"Um."
Moses nodded.
Actually, he didn't believe that Biscuit would give up so easily, but with Lisha here, there shouldn't be much to worry about.
Seeing that Moses didn't intend to say anything more, Lisha didn't delve into it further and focused on driving.
After a brief silence…
Moses suddenly asked: "Sister Lisha, are you and Cheadle in a master-disciple relationship?"
"That's right."
Lisha nodded, and then jokingly added: "Do you need a formal introduction?"
After saying that, without waiting for Moses's reply, Lisha continued: "Lisha Yorkshire, Single-Star Lawyer Hunter of the Hunter Association. Currently, I'm running a law firm. If you ever run into trouble, you can come directly to me."
After saying this, she turned her head slightly and winked at Moses, then she said with a smile: "I won't charge you."
"Sister Lisha, your last name…"
Moses didn't pay attention to the second half of Lisha's words. Instead, he noticed Lisha's last name, which is also Yorkshire, just like Cheadle.
"Oh, don't misunderstand. In terms of origin and bloodline, I have no relationship with Master. However, it's not a coincidence that we have the same last name."
Lisha explained while looking ahead: "I changed my last name to Yorkshire on my own. You can see it as an expression of admiration and longing for my Master."
She was originally a person without a last name, and it was Cheadle who discovered her, giving her a new future.
"Understood."
Moses nodded, expressing his understanding, and refrained from asking more questions on the way.
Afterwards, Lisha took him to a restaurant for dinner.
After a satisfying meal, they headed back to the law firm on Turmeric Street.
Entering the firm, Lisha led Moses inside, pushing open the door to the office and immediately looked towards the sofa in the guest area.
The Virus Hunter, who had been interfering with her work for the past few days, had finally left.
"Have a seat."
Lisha invited Moses to sit down, and immediately walked towards her desk.
She is used to working intensively at night, so she plans to finish today's workload while it's still early.
Moses sat on the sofa, observing Lisha working at her desk.
"Cheadle said I can get answers to all the questions I have from you."
"That's not entirely accurate. I can only answer what I know."
Lisha said, lifting her head to look at Moses, "What do you want to know?"
"Let's start with the Seirin Group first."
Moses clasped his hands together, calmly looking at Lisha.
"Seirin Group…"
Lisha raised her finger to her chin and said calmly: "As far as I know, it was a team with a great reputation several decades ago. It was founded by the former Chairman of the association. Even the current Chairman, Netero, was once a member of the Seirin Group. But nowadays, very few people mention that name..."
…
In the alley next to the Covariant Law Firm.
Biscuit stood at the entrance of the alley, looking at the lights in the office with interest.
