Chapter 591: Ten Thousand Skillful Hands
In fact, when Mu Qingzhi heard the description of maid in Yuji Sakai's words, she already knew who the visitor was.
Wilhelmina Carmel, the Thousand Hands, is both Shana's guardian and her trainer.
In the Tiandao Palace, she accompanied Shana for the first part of her life, and after the Tiandao Palace crashed, she chose to let Shana walk her own way.
Mu Qingzhi was not surprised by the other party's arrival. The only surprise was that the other party would fight with Shana. Even if it was to test Shana's achievements during this period, they should not fight as soon as they met.
...To be honest, she was a little confused.
Soon, under the leadership of Yuji Sakai, Mu Qingzhi rushed to the commercial street where the incident occurred. This place had been sealed off, and above her head, the battle between Wilhelmina and Shana was still going on.
However, after watching from below for a while, Mu Qingzhi felt relieved. Rather than a fight, the two were just an exchange match, and she had no need to intervene.
"Okay, it's okay. They are just sparring. They haven't seen each other for a long time."
Retracting her gaze, Mu Qingzhi waved to Sakai Yuuji and sat down on a bench nearby.
"After they finish fighting, we can..."
Before she finished her sentence, she caught a glimpse of three "human balls" tied up with bandages on the corner of the street. After seeing who was tied up in the bandages, she immediately fell into silence.
Fariagni, Aizen Tatlia, Aizen Zisurat... All three are here.
...So this perverted puppet control was caught and beaten up by Wilhelmina again?
While Mu Qingzhi was silent, the battle above seemed to have noticed her arrival and had quietly ended. When Mu Qingzhi raised her head again, she found that a maid had stood in front of her without knowing when.
"What's wrong?"
Looking at Wilhelmina who was looking at her coldly, Mu Qingzhi rolled her eyes without hesitation.
If she used a word to describe the other party, she would use the word "stern parent" to describe the maid in front of her. Although she was the one who raised Shana, her purpose was not simple. She only wanted to train Shana into a perfect fire mist warrior.
In fact, if it was like this, it would be fine, but the key is that the other party is not flexible in character and belongs to the type of super stubborn who insists on his own ideas.
She did not deny that the other party had feelings for Shana, but the other party's way of expression was quite awkward. Obviously, she had rich emotions in her heart and valued the people around her more than anything else, but she showed an unreasonable look.
To be honest, she seriously suspected that the reason why Shana became an out-and-out tsundere was that she learned it from the other person.
"... She went astray."
After a short silence, Wilhelmina spoke up.
"Also, what you are doing now is very dangerous..."
"Before that, let's talk about your education of my sister."
Looking at the maid in front of her, Mu Qingzhi was blunt and pointed.
"First of all, I think you have a big problem in educating my sister over the past ten years, what do you think?"
"Really?"
To her surprise, the maid seemed quite calm.
"Compared to you, at least, I won't sell her underwear online, or the internal network used by the outside dormitory."
"What for sale? I can... uh..."
Suddenly thinking of something, Mu Qingzhi's expression froze, and a drop of cold sweat unconsciously flowed down her forehead. In this instant, her momentum suddenly declined.
…It’s been so long that she has forgotten about it.
Wait, if that’s the case, then…
Seemingly thinking of something, with a hint of luck, Mu Qingzhi turned her head and looked to the side…and then happened to meet Shana’s angry eyes that looked like she wanted to kill someone.
Mu Qingzhi: “………”
…She seemed to understand why the two of them would fight inexplicably as soon as they met.
“Wait, I did this very secretly, and the things were sold very quickly, how did you…”
“I bought it.”
“………”
——At this time, silence is the bridge of tonight.
………………………………………………
There are still many empty houses in Misaki City.
After the torch disappears, everything related to the torch will also be erased, but even if all the things that prove the existence of the torch disappear, some things will still remain.
…For example, houses.
The more the apostles wreak havoc in an area, the more empty houses there are. The foreign hostels widely distributed around the world are specifically responsible for dealing with these matters.
Wilhelmina got the data from the Tokyo Foreign Hostels, and then chose an ownerless house that was not too far away. The specific location was on a street one block away from Sakai Yuuji's house, which was not far away.
This empty house had been idle for a long time, so it was covered with dust. After entering here, the other party cleaned it up immediately.
Originally, Mu Qingzhi was curious about what was in the backpack on the other side, which was taller than her. But after seeing the other side take out a vacuum cleaner and assemble it familiarly, she couldn't hold it back.
"I won't agree to that kind of thing."
After finishing the cleaning skillfully, she sat down at the table and spoke directly to the point.
"Cooperating with the masquerade is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world. I don't know how you convinced Alastair and the others, but as long as I am there, I will never allow it..."
"Not with the masquerade, but with me."
Shaking her head, Mu Qingzhi interrupted the other side.
——Because of the other side's request, Shana and Alastair were not here. This was a conversation between her and the other side.
"It's all the same, there is no difference."
Wilhelmina had a blank expression on her face.
"You are the masterpiece of the masquerade. If it weren't for the relationship between you and her, you would have been defeated by me when we first met."
"Really? Then I am quite lucky."
Sighing softly, Mu Qingzhi raised his head and looked at the maid in front of him seriously.
"Before talking about those things, let me ask you a question. I hope you can answer this question truthfully."
"...Do you really regard Shana as a substitute for someone?"
