Chapter 1205: The unscientific duo, transformations...

"With the branch office reduced to charred grounds, research and operations cannot continue. According to multiple reports from witnesses, an intense blaze popped up last night. Investigators are saying this is the likely reason DEM's office complex got destroyed."
"As for whether the cause of the fire was due to negligence or malicious actors, we are still waiting for further inputs from authorities. Investigations are still underway and no conclusions can be drawn for now..."
"On a related note, the DEM office stated that they didn't suffer any casualties in this fire. All the employees were successfully evacuated in time according to official sources. This is a miracle..."
Wu Yan chomped down on his bread while watching the news anchor reporting on DEM's mysterious fire incident. He shook his head with a sigh.
"Man, the reporting quality of this world sucks, in the end, we still don't know anything..."
"What did you expect? An accurate report on the fight between spirits and magicians?"
Kotori rolled her eyes.
"Ignoring what Ratatoskr has to say, even the DEM wouldn't want the media snooping around..."
"And, that's why this news is pointless..."
Wu Yan waved his hand.
"I get that we are trying to keep the spirits under wraps but I would like to see that smug bastard Westcott explaining how his place got burned down..."
"You have a distasteful hobby..."
Kotori quipped while Wu Yan snickered.
A normal person would probably go crazy if someone burned down their life's work in a single night.
Westcott is probably reading the news with a smile on his face. The press is probably cooking up stories to smear his name and the guy could care less.
The reporters are probably going to spin the story as Westcott burning his own turf down or there is another story behind the scene.
There are always people with too much time to spare. Wu Yan wanted to see how Westcott replied to these haters and trolls.
This is also why Kotori said he needs to check his attitude.
Kotori is puzzled by one thing.
"DEM's branch got destroyed and Westcott didn't answer any calls for interviews, It seems..."
"He has already left town, right?"
Wu Yan crossed his arms while shrugging.
"He just ran away without saying anything. He should have at least said: 'I will be back.' or some other lines like that, no?"
Indeed, Wu Yan nailed it. A certain female magician who liked to think she is the strongest magician did say that last night.
"I don't think DEM can do anything against us in Tengu City, they need to at least rebuild their base."
"Even if they can quickly build the complex back with Realizers, I don't think the capital equipment they used in the research facilities can be rebuilt, the data lost is probably also a major setback to them. We can stop worrying about random magicians coming to 'arrest' us."
Tohka, Kotori, Kaguya, Yuzuru, and Yoshino were happy to hear that news.
"Oh~ Sounds great!"
Tohka chirped while munching on a meat bun.
"Those machines are so annoying, I wish we never see them again."
Yoshino nodded.
Yoshino got attacked multiple times before meeting Wu Yan. She is the type to run instead of fighting so she didn't like the idea of magicians walking around despite not wishing the deaths of magicians herself.
The AST were the ones picking on her, not the DEM, but, same difference.
The DEM is more dangerous and vicious than AST. She might be a peak tier 8 spirit. Nonetheless, although Ellen is the only one that can try to catch her, Yoshino is still afraid of magicians.
Kurumi rubbed Yoshino's head. Yoshino was surprised by this gesture.
Kaguya and Yuzuru couldn't understand why Wu Yan, Kotori, and Tohka are gawking at Kurumi.
"Kurumi..."
Wu Yan whispered to her.
"Are you the real Kurumi?"
"Why?"
Kurumi rubbed her cheek.
"Is something wrong?"
"Yeah, I guess..."
Wu Yan scratched the back of his head.
"It feels like you are more open now than before. It seems like you mellowed out?"
Kotori, Tohka, and Yoshino nodded too. Kurumi beamed at them gracefully.
"Ara, is that so?"
Kurumi blushed like a dainty flower from a small noble household. She sneaked a glance at Wu Yan.
"Well, hubby-sama, do you like me like this?"
Kurumi's bashful appearance is so charming Wu Yan almost drool. He coughed before turning his head the other way.
"I-I love you no matter what you look or behave like..."
Kurumi emitted a dazzling smile. That was the perfect answer. Tohka, Yoshino, Kaguya, and Yuzuru were slightly envious while Kotori snorted at the side.
"Hmph, you smooth bastard, tricking girls with your sweet words..."
Wu Yan wasn't sure how to respond.
Quietly sitting nearby, Miku spoke up after finishing her breakfast.
"Thanks..."
Everyone exchanged looks before giggling.
Miku and the other spirits knew the reason for this expression of gratitude.
Wu Yan went over to DEM's branch office to torch the place because this is his way of showing concern for Miku. Of course, kicking the DEM's asses made sure they would think twice about hunting more spirits and targeting Yuzuru and Kaguya when they are alone.
Ratatoskr has more advanced Realizer tech than DEM. They can detect the Materializations of spirits faster than DEM and get to them faster.
Kaguya and Yuzuru are also almost always by Wu Yan's sie.
DEM posed little to no threat to Wu Yan & co.
However, Wu Yan still decided to wreck DEM's branch.
He did this to give Miku peace of mind when she goes out of this house. He indirectly weeded out Miku's source of concern.
Everyone knew that.
Including Miku.
This man always protected her from the shadows, now, he proved that he always had her interest in mind.
Her heart thawed away.
Miku stared intently at Wu Yan with her silverish eyes. Wu Yan almost averted his gaze in embarrassment when she laughed out loud.
"Today's the opening day of the Tenou festival..."
Miku decided on something within her mind. She asked Wu Yan the question.
"Can you listen to my request?"
