My past will never be touched by the police.

Edie-san too, the police will not take any action on her because she’s your bodyguard. She’s a talent referred by Kyouko Messer to Kakka. Besides, even if they examine Kyouko-san’s arrival in Japan, they can’t get information to arrest Kyouko-san, I knew that from their investigation so far

Shou-neechan laughs.

For example, if you were caught by the police, do you know anything about Kyouko-an? Do you have anything you can testify to her crime?

Err.

Miss Cordelia killed Ruriko’s father. Kouzuki Shigeaki.

Kyouko-san didn’t kill anyone in front of me.

I only listened to her story of raiding a gang’s office.

I don’t know any evidence for Kyouko-san’s crime.

In the first place, do you know where Kyouko-san’s hideout is? There should be a lot in the country and abroad I don’t That’s right, that person tries not to inform us anything that would bother us

Ah, she’s letting Miss Cordelia, and the two do all the hazardous work.

She’s amazing. She’s completely strict with herself and others. Yet, she has that humor

Yeah.

Therefore, the police can’t mark Edie-san anymore. To the police, she’d be treated as someone thrown to Japan and must not be concerned about

That means, even if Edie lives in Japan as our family, the police won’t disturb.

We don’t need to do anything about Edie’s family register, but.

Uhm, what about me?

Mana asks.

Is it okay for me to stay here?

The police know that Mana is Shirasaka Maika.

Reika, please answer

Shou-neechan looks at Re-chan.

Nobody will lay a hand on you unless someone submits a search request to the police. Don’t worry

If Mana’s mother or old man Ichikawa doesn’t issue a search request, then.

The police can’t do anything with mana.

But the police said they’d arrest Onii-chan for kidnapping Mana I think the police was just probing around, using that as a threat

Rei-chan replied.

If Mana-chan said help me back then, then they’d arrest all of us

The police don’t know the reason why Mana is with us.

If Mana’s kidnapped contrary to her will, and we’re using her then.

She’d ask for the police’s protection in that place.

But, Mana-chan didn’t ask for help from the police. Therefore, they judged that you aren’t kidnapped I think so too, Reika

Shou-neechan gives a stamp of approval.

They can’t move if you’re not kidnapped. You can puff your chest with pride

But, Minaho-neesan should contact Ichikawa-san one more time.

If Mana’s mother goes frenzy and submits a search request to the police, then it’ll be a problem.

She should be stopped.

If you’re worried, Minaho-san is already moving things

Shou-neechan smiles at me.

We’re your elder sisters, we don’t make mistakes

That’s right.

MInaho-neesan should’ve made measures for this long ago.

Then, take care, we will be sending Misuzu-sama and others to the hotel, but we’ll head straight to the next location

Shou-oneechan opens the window of the driver’s seat and tells us who’s standing in front of the school gate.

I see. Shou-neechan’s going to Green Mountain Studio with Rei-chan.

It’s okay. Even without us, chief Yazawa and Kakka’s other personal bodyguards will come

A party Jii-chan’s attending will have perfect bodyguards.

Uhm, please take care of Yukino-oneechan

Mana said.

I know, I won’t let her get hurt

Shou-neechan promises while showing a gentle smile.

Then, she speaks to Edie in English.

Edie nods.

Well, it must be about asking her to be our bodyguard.

Rei-chan

I get on the other side of the car and knock on the window of the passenger seat.

Rei-chan opens the window.

Yes, what is it?

She looks up at me with a black face.

Do your best, I believe, and I’m expecting from you, Rei-chan

I stick out my hand.

thank you

Rei-chan blushed and shook hands with me.

Rei-chan, are you nervous? Huh? Your hand is cold

I laughed.

Just a bit

Edie comes over and whispers something.

Then.

Sister

She hands Rei-chan one shuriken.

It’s the one Michi gave her earlier.

thank you

Edie gives her a thumbs up.

It must be Edie’s encouragement.

Then, we’ll be going

Shou-neechan revs the engine.

If all goes well, I’ll return to the mansion with Reika. Let’s meet again by evening Yeah got it, I pray for your success Take care you too

Shou-neechan’s car turns and goes back to the mansion.

They’ll take Yukino and head to Green Mountain Studio.

Minaho-neesan and Misuzu will head to the hotel.

We’ll pick up Megu and wait for Nagisa and Margo-san to the hotel.

We go through the main gate with the entry permit Katsuko-nee gave us.

I’m in my uniform, but Edie and Mana are wearing plain clothes.

But, nobody’s stopping us.

It’s the last of the May holidays, and it’s nearly evening.

The people in here now are only from the clubs, even those people are coming home already.

It seems that the clubs end the practice ahead of time on the final day, some clubs will celebrate a party at a family restaurant or something.

Anyway, the school building doesn’t have many people.

I head to the track and field grounds.

!

Edie’s in a good mood.

She’s holding my hand, singing an English song and walking on the school grounds.

Mana holds my other hand.

Edie, you’ll be attending this school

I had Mana translate what I say.

?

Edie looks at me curiously and smiling.

Do you not know what a school is?

Err.

You see, it seems that Edie-chan attended only the school in their cult

Mana tells me.

I knew it.

It’s impossible for the children of an assassination cult to go outside and attend public school.

But, she’s good at math, science, and physics she said.

I see. That’s surprising.

Because it’s a necessity for assassination

Oh, so that’s it.

She’s terrible at the bible reading subject she said

That’s okay now.

Edie’s kicked out of the assassination cult.

But.

This might be equal as troublesome as Agnes. It might be impossible to get her transferred right away though

Should I have Agnes attend school from the third semester together with Edie?

In Edie-chan’s case, why not?

Mana said.

She’s an American from the start, so it’s natural for her not to know Japanese language, history, geography and others

I see. It might be rough for her, but it might be easier for her to get used to living in Japan if she goes to school.

Well, she’ll be Onii-chan and Megu-oneechan’s classmate, right?

Yeah, Megu and I will look after her.

Megu has a lot of girlfriends in class.

Edie, from now on, you’ll go to and from here everyday

I said. Edie’s delighted.

She hugs me and shakes my hand so hard.

She’s very delighted.

What’s up, are you that happy to attend school?

Edie.

Edie-chan said she’s happy that she’ll be here with Onii-chan everyday

That one?

Well, that’s okay.

She said that there’s a lot of trees and it feels good here

Oh.

The wind is cold and pleasant during the early summer afternoon.

We walk together while holding hands.
