Chapter 177: Dangerous
Some time later.
Back at Arthur's office in the Water Country, the midmorning sunshine streamed through his window.
As he settled in for a new day's responsibilities, he heard three knocks at his door.
"Enter," he called, knowing who it was.
The door opened, and to Arthur's delight, his secretary strode in, holding a package.
"My lord," she announced, presenting the parcel, "it seems the flute has arrived."
After she handed him the parcel, he unwrapped it, revealing a constructed flute, ornately designed.
Something was strange—this was not the same flute he remembered Tayuya having. This one looked too new.
Using his Tamashii while the secretary was unaware, he scanned it and verified that this was indeed Tayuya's flute. The craftsmanship was striking; he could sense chakra layered inside it.
Then he understood: Yoshiyuki had modified it to show Arthur his sincerity for their potential partnership!
The secretary cleared her throat, breaking him from his trance. "Is everything all right, my lord?"
