I! Cleaner!

"Olivia!!!"

In the mirror of the Celestial Globe Mirror, the Director of Taurus, who was usually benevolent, was now flushed with anger and shouted:

"What the hell are you doing? Do you want to make me mad on purpose?"

"..."

"Answer me!"

"I... actually have my own difficulties..."

Facing the rage-filled questioning from the Director of Taurus, the red-haired director instinctively shrank back, then awkwardly said:

"That dead... um... that incarnated doe not only snatched a crucial witness right under my nose, but also took Leon's soul, so in a moment of urgency, my methods may have been a bit extreme, but ultimately nothing major happened..."

"Nothing major happened?"

Upon hearing the red-haired director's defense, the Director of Taurus laughed angrily, then slammed the table with clenched teeth, furiously saying:

"Without proper preparation, you forcibly crossed into the Realm of the Dead, causing vital energy to pour back into the Gate of the Deceased, directly resurrecting over five hundred dead! Over five hundred!

It's one thing for those whose bodies were intact, but among those five hundred dead, one-third are already decayed! Their souls have no idea where to go! To deal with sending back those five hundred souls, even the director from Pisces branch has been dispatched, running everywhere to cover for you!"

"..."

"And still, you were looking for people, but why did you mess with Funeral Garment Mirror Lake?"

Thinking of the news that landed on his desk, the Director of Taurus angrily gritted his teeth.

"The Realm of the Dead doesn't want trouble with you, they've been yielding to you! But you went ahead and, when the incarnated doe wouldn't appear, you demolished its lake, forcing it to come out, right? After your big fuss, you did force it out, but after your fight, half of the Funeral Garment Mirror Lake was destroyed!

Olivia! Do you understand how big this is? If you had been just a little more aggressive and completely ruined Funeral Garment Mirror Lake, the deceased would be lining up on the No Return Path! What would the bureau do then? Are they supposed to kill you and send you down to guard it?"

"..."

"And more! It's one thing to fight that doe, but then you started attacking those trying to break up the fight too. Were you really there to find someone or just venting your frustration? Tell me! Do you even want to..."

"Um... Mr. Taurus..."

Seeing the director being scolded, unable to raise her head, and peeking furtively, Leon felt he had to help out, or surely he'd be retaliated against by the director. Leon braced himself and said:

"Actually, we discovered some crucial information that needs to be reported to you..."

"Right, and as for you! Your issues aren't much smaller than hers!"

Upon hearing Leon's voice, the Director of Taurus immediately turned his attention to Leon, staring angrily:

"Olivia's antics are one thing, she's had moments of impulsive indiscretion before, not just once or twice. But what's with you lately? Must you escalate everything?

Last time's Demonic Soul Abyss incident is explainable, holding off the King of Nightmares alone for so long was commendable, releasing the Dream Eating Anomalous Carapace to ravage the Dream Realm was understandable. But what about this time?"

Thinking of Leon, usually very reliable yet this time causing huge trouble, along with the intelligence received, the Director of Taurus was both angry and anxious:

"Do you know what people are calling you outside after the Realm of the Dead incident spread? Leon the Glutton God! The Clean-up Bureau's hyena! The human-shaped Glutton Demon! Your infamous reputation spread, even attracting attention from the Abyss!

The Gluttonous Demon God sent word through others saying, as long as the Clean-up Bureau agrees to kill you off early, to prevent you from someday usurping its position, it's willing to offer any terms, even a way for me to live an extra twenty years!

And plus! The competitors of the Gluttonous Demon God declared that no matter the amount offered by the Gluttonous Demon God, they are willing to pay double! They'd give you a posting in the Abyss to annoy the Gluttonous Demon God, and they're willing to provide anything!"

"..."

Goodness... Am I really worth that much?

"And more! Do you know what a huge taboo you've committed? Killing and stripping power from the Eating True God... the True God of the Realm of the Dead will not spare you! As long as you're alive, Olivia and I can protect you, but what about when you're dead?"

"I... I was wrong, but please don't get angry..."

When the Director of Taurus paused to take a breath, just as Leon shrunk back like the red-haired director, he awkwardly admitted:

"At the time, my soul was too digested by the Canine Deity, with all the digested soul still within its body, I momentarily couldn't control my appetite, it certainly won't happen again."

"You want there to be a next time?"

'No, no, definitely no next time!' Leon quickly shook his head:

"I truly don't have any weird quirks, I was simply too weak in soul at that moment and couldn't restrain my instincts, along with not wanting to lay in bed for years, which is why... um... perhaps I should share the intelligence first!"

Seeing the Director of Taurus' eyebrows twitch, as if ready to speak more, Leon hurriedly interjected:

"Mr. Taurus, you know my abilities, when the palace was attacked by an abnormal object earlier, I touched its remains and discovered it wasn't an accident, but a premeditated assault!

A mysterious organization is planning to strike at the royal families of various countries, and even the Aquarius Director is involved, he maneuvered to pull away the director, granting the abnormal object the chance to target the royal family!"

An abnormal object targeting various royal families?

Listening to Leon, the anger on the Director of Taurus' face paused slightly, then he said gravely:

"Leon, are you certain of this information?"

"Absolutely sure!"

Recalling his conversation with Aquarius, Leon confidently said:

"Though we have yet to understand why they're acting this way, I can guarantee there exists an organization targeting royal families, and I've identified two of its members!"

"Who are they?"

"Crolock Kingdom's Atifei-01, the intelligent automaton, and the incarnated doe who nearly succeeded in descending during the treasure flower incident six years ago!"

Crolock Kingdom's intelligent automaton and the incarnated doe from the Realm of the Dead?

Upon hearing this, the Director of Taurus frowned slightly, then nodded:

"Indeed, something strange is happening in Crolock Kingdom, even the Sagittarius Director is arranging investigations, but as for the incarnated doe... are you sure it's involved?"

"I'm sure!"

Exchanging a glance with the red-haired director, Leon said earnestly:

"Mr. Taurus, six years ago, the incarnated doe planned to descend into the current world but failed due to unforeseen circumstances, soon sparking the national war, and coincidentally the abnormal object that attacked the palace lurked by the princess.

This doesn't seem like mere coincidence; we strongly suspect the incarnated doe's attempt to descend was aimed at the royal family, only to fail, forcing the mysterious organization to leave a tin doll behind the princess, waiting for a later opportunity!"

It does seem plausible after all...

The Director of Taurus frowned upon hearing this, then glanced at the red-haired director.

"Olivia, what do you think?"

"I think the same as Leon!"

Upon hearing the Director of Taurus' inquiry, the red-haired director cleared her throat first, then righteously replied:

"Also, the reason I stirred up such a commotion this time was actually to probe if it had any issues, to see if there's something wrong!"

"And how did your probing go?"

"It clearly has something to hide!"

The red-haired director boldly replied:

"I approached causing trouble, it hid! I asked it to come out to hand over people, it concealed! I fought it directly, it fled! If it has no guilty conscience, why fear me so much, refusing to fight?"

"..."

Seriously... do you even hear yourself?

After the red-haired director finished her statement, Leon couldn't help but roll his eyes.

The doe fled because it couldn't win! With your killing intent shooting from the sky, looking ready to tear it to bits, even I felt uneasy just watching! Wouldn't it be foolish to stick around for a beating?

However, surprisingly, after hearing the red-haired director's explanation, the Director of Taurus pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement:

"Indeed, viewed this way, it's likely something is truly wrong with it."

"..."
