Chapter 510: Shima Miori
"Xiaona, how are those children doing now?" Lingyun stood outside the bathhouse and asked the girl beside him.
"Don't worry, Brother. The situation for those little sisters is very good now. The children with more serious conditions have already taken your new medicine, Brother. Hmm, the medicine you brought out this time is truly effective!" Xiaona said.
"Effective? That's good!" Lingyun nodded.
"By the way, those little sisters all said they really want to thank you, Brother!" Xiaona said.
"That is not an important matter," Lingyun said, waving his hand. "By the way, how are you doing with the arrangements for their future?"
"As for that, of course there is no problem at all. The little sisters have all agreed to first enter the Cursed Child Academy in the small town to study for a period of time. Once they have accumulated a certain amount of knowledge, they will then work and study to pay back the tuition fees," Xiaona said.
"I remember that there are quite a few benefits for Cursed Children in our small town," Lingyun said with some helplessness. "Why are these children all so precocious? They are at most around ten years old right now; they should be at the age where they love to play. Why are they all thinking about working and studying to pay back their tuition?"
"In this world, as Cursed Children, apart from us lucky ones who were able to meet you, Brother, if the rest of them weren't mature, I'm afraid they would have already disappeared from this world!" Xiaona's tone already carried a hint of sorrow.
"Well, well, no need to be so sad. At least our small town is moving in a good direction now, and there are more and more protected Cursed Children, aren't there?" Lingyun smiled and rubbed Xiaona's head.
"Yes, with you here, Brother, the future will definitely be even better!" Xiaona squinted her eyes, enjoying Lingyun's petting, her tone filled with hope.
"Lingyun, that woman has come to find you again!" Just at this moment, Tendo Kisara suddenly appeared beside Lingyun and said with a displeased look on her face.
"Which woman?" A bunch of question marks appeared over Lingyun's head.
"It's that Snake Girl!" Tendo Kisara said with a displeased look.
"Snake Girl? Could it be that person?" Lingyun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, recalling someone who was also quite famous in the original work.
"Oh my, Kisara, do you dislike me that much?" Just at this moment, a clear and beautiful voice came from behind Tendo Kisara.
Lingyun looked in the direction the voice came from, and in that direction, a young girl was walking toward them. This girl had long, wavy, jet-black hair tied into twin tails at the back of her head. She was wearing a brightly colored kimono, as if she were going to view the flowers, and looked like a perfect, flawless young lady of high status. In fact, this woman was indeed a bona fide young lady of high status; after all, she was the daughter of the president of Shima Heavy Industries, the largest weapons company in the world.
"Mr. Lingyun, it really isn't easy to see you once!" Shima Miori took an iron fan from her kimono, covered the lower half of her face, and said with a hint of resentment in her tone.
"Tch, this Snake Girl..." Tendo Kisara showed an expression of disgust toward Shima Miori.
"Well, I've been quite busy lately. First, I took a trip to the International Initiator Supervising Organization and had a friendly talk with several of their top leaders, reaching a rare consensus on certain matters. Afterward, our small town received another batch of trafficked Cursed Children, and the whole town has been running for this. I am truly sorry for neglecting you, Miss Shima Miori!" Lingyun shrugged and said.
"You said you went to the International Initiator Supervising Organization?" A look of surprise appeared on Shima Miori's face. "And you reached a consensus with them? You aren't joking, are you!"
As the young lady of Shima Heavy Industries, she was very knowledgeable about many things. The small town established by Lingyun possessed many powerful Cursed Children. Most of these Cursed Children had undergone training by Lingyun and the others, and their strength was much greater compared to other Cursed Children. Don't look at how many Cursed Children in the small town are currently working as bathhouse attendants or doing clerical work in the mission hall; half a year ago, during an attack by Gastrea, these Cursed Children all displayed powerful strength, making other people's jaws drop to the ground.
The International Initiator Supervising Organization had long coveted this powerful force. After all, if they could obtain this batch of Cursed Children, or even obtain their training methods, humanity might have a chance to counterattack against the Gastrea.
However, when facing the International Initiator Supervising Organization, Lingyun was completely impervious. Want to find a partner here? No problem, as long as you can pass the layers of tests in the small town, you can obtain the qualification to enter. After entering the small town, as long as you and that little loli hit it off, you can directly form a partnership with her. As for shortcuts? Sorry, there are none.
Faced with this attitude from Lingyun, the International Initiator Supervising Organization was also furious and directly imposed sanctions on Lingyun's small town, which was to stop distributing the Gastrea Virus Inhibitor. In their original thinking, for the sake of the Cursed Children in the small town, Lingyun would definitely yield to them, and at that time, the Cursed Children in the small town would be at their mercy. Unfortunately, Lingyun directly utilized the Purification Light he mastered to develop another system of Gastrea Virus Inhibitor, and there is even a trend toward developing a Gastrea Erosion Rate Reduction Agent now.
Under the circumstances where various methods were ineffective, several bigwigs of the International Initiator Supervising Organization jointly sent an invitation to Lingyun, asking him to meet at the headquarters of the International Initiator Supervising Organization. Lingyun went alone and returned alone; as for what happened in between, no one knows.
"This is natural. The leaders of the International Initiator Supervising Organization held great enthusiasm for my arrival and gave me a warm welcome. During the gathering, both sides had a cordial and friendly exchange, and finally reached a consensus that satisfied both parties extremely well. Later, when I left, the bigwigs of the International Initiator Supervising Organization even saw me off together and repeatedly emphasized that we had already reached a perfect consensus, and our future work would proceed based on the consensus reached. At the same time, because both sides were very satisfied with this meeting, which laid a good foundation for future cooperation, I won't need to go to their headquarters again in the future; if there is anything, we can communicate remotely directly," Lingyun said with a smile.
"This, this... I just feel like this is a very incredible thing!" Shima Miori didn't know why, but she only felt waves of chill constantly welling up in her heart, and a trace of cold sweat even seeped from her forehead.
"As long as the final result of the cooperation is good, this is a good thing, isn't it?" Lingyun said with a smile. "By the way, Miss Shima Miori, did you come to find me for something?"
Hearing Lingyun bring up this matter, Shima Miori composed herself, and then said to Lingyun with a serious face: "I came this time as a representative of Shima Heavy Industries, hoping that we can cooperate with you, Mr. Lingyun!"
