Chapter 922 Secret Organization part 3
After hearing that, Yasaka went quiet as she didn\'t want to infringe on how Sakura was going to deal with this.
Sakura looked at her for a few seconds and while Claire was trying to look confident, she could see her nervousness behind that facade. Sighing again, Sakura asked, "Do you have everything that Kisuke-niichan gave you?"
Claire nodded and patted her chest to feel the necklace under her clothes, "I never take it off. That\'s the condition that Kisuke-niichan gave me before I could go out to play."
"Fine... But you can\'t bring Kunou-chan with you."
"Ehhh~? But I want to show her something."
"You can\'t." Sakura was adamant, "While you\'re safe, Kunou-chan doesn\'t have the same protection and you first have to get her mother\'s permission to even bring her out."
Claire became dejected as she finally realized how she couldn\'t bring Kunou out to play because she would need someone else\'s permission. While she knew that she could get almost anything with her \'reward\', she also knew that it only extended to Tanis, Ophis, and Lilith.
But when she was about to give up and save the ticket for something else, Yasaka suddenly chuckled at their side and interjected, "It\'s alright. I\'m giving Kunou my permission. Go take her out to play."
"Yasaka-san!?" Sakura exclaimed, "Maybe you don\'t realize but they are going to Greece by themselves! Although that isn\'t really very dangerous, as they still have insurance that Kisuke gave them."
"Is that okay!?" Claire, on the other hand, became excited.
Still, Yasaka dismissed her worries, "Ophis and Lilith would be going with them, wouldn\'t they? I think there is no better security than them."
"Y-Yeah... But..." Sakura tried thinking of an opposing idea but she couldn\'t really deny that no amount of bodyguards could replace the Infinite \'Sisters\'. On top of that, Sakura isn\'t Kisuke, who\'d consider that a hostile person from the top 10 strongest beings in the world would suddenly come after the children.
"It has been a while since Kunou went out to play and I don\'t want her to live a life like mine, who can\'t leave Kyoto." Yasaka then turned to Claire and added, "Go tell Kunou, but before you go, be sure to come to me first."
Claire nodded gleefully and said, "Thank you, Aunty!" Before running off, afraid that they\'ll change their decision.
Sakura wanted to call out, but realized that something was weird here and stopped. She looked around at the other people within the room and noticed that instead of her, one or two people\'s eyes were on Yasaka and it wasn\'t just some fleeting glance, \'Huh? That\'s weird...\' With a seed of suspicion in her mind, she decided to let things flow as it is.
Yasaka also noticed that Sakura might have noticed something and asked to change the focus, "Sarah-san, I\'m very curious. After a single warning, you allowed her pretty easily. I thought you\'d be more protective of her."
\'I don\'t want to hear that from you.\' Sakura thought but answered, "It\'s a family principle."
"Ho? Family principle? Is it okay to hear more about that?"
One of Yasaka\'s attendants refilled Sakura\'s cup of tea as she replied, "It\'s our family principle that if we set rules, we\'ll follow them. Kisuke set a rule that if she does something great, she\'ll be rewarded and it\'s our responsibility to follow through with that as much as possible. Well, you could just say that we\'re taking care to keep Claire\'s trust so that we could trust her to follow her end of the deal if we need her to do or keep something."
Yasaka smiled and muttered, "That\'s wonderful."
A few moments later, Claire and the other girls came in with Kunou going straight to her mother.
Sakura watched them while giving Claire, Tanis, Ophis, and Lilith the reminder that they have to go home before sunset, and if there is any danger for anyone except Ophis and Lilith, they are to sound the alarm and go home immediately.
Yasaka was also doing the same thing while giving Kunou some paper charms that seemed to be for their protection.
The girls didn\'t need to prepare for their departure since either Ophis or Lilith could bring them almost everywhere in an instant and it didn\'t take too long for them to linger.
As soon as they disappeared, Yasaka commented, "I can see how sending over bodyguards could totally backfire. There\'s only a handful of people in the world that could follow them."
"And even if they were successful in following them, the blue-haired kid, Tanis, is strangely perceptive of other\'s presence and could only push them to teleport away more."
"Well, there\'s really nothing to worry about since both of us could easily tell if they were in apparent danger and I doubt someone would still linger in Greece when everyone\'s attention and effort are in London."
"That\'s true." replied Sakura while thinking, \'But that\'s a problem too.\'
"Yasaka-san, thank you for receiving us today. Since I\'d like to monitor their condition remotely, I\'ll be leaving first."
"The gratitude is mine since Kunou was able to make such wonderful friends."

The group of girls instantly arrived in Greece where Claire was living until recently, "Let\'s go! It\'s in my room."
This short trip of theirs, however, will make them the first meaningful contact with the alien civilization aiming to take over the world. And little did Sakura know that Claire and Tanis\' threshold for danger was a lot higher than she expected.

In a dark alley, two hooded individuals were looking down at the ground and one of them muttered in an unknown language, [There are some traces here, but it\'s already too old. All we can say is that she went through here one time.]
[If we keep following these traces, we\'ll eventually reach her. While she could escape, she couldn\'t hide her scent.]
[But we\'re taking too much time. We have to find her immediately before she can reveal more information.]
[I think it\'s already too late for that. If the inhabitants of this planet are competent, they would have already deciphered her language.]
[Then why are we still wasting our time on her?]
[Because she\'s important to the \'Wicked One\'. Even if it takes time, we have to find her. But since Sir Bebevu Su and Sir Gvardora are busy watching the situation in that city called London, we only have a bit of manpower to spare.]
[But isn\'t Lord Regalzeva about to arrive too? We should have enough manpower by that time.]
[Yes. And I also heard that he\'s coming with the \'Sky\' and \'Sea\'.]
And while the two of them were casually conversing, a sudden message appeared in their head, [A moon base correspondence? Isn\'t that too dangerous?]
