Here, here. it’s not cold.it’s not cold!

I rub the back of the two with my best.

That’s all I can do for now.

Uwaa, that’s warm.Yo-chan, thanks!

Nei-san kisses my cheeks.

Yukino saw that and she snorted her nose looking sullen.

If you don’t take down at least one of Cesario Viola’s executives.your reputation won’t be able to stand

Seki-san who’s walking on second row tells Reika who’s ahead.

Well, I’ll take them down.but, if chief Tanizawa becomes hostile, what would you do, Seki-san?

Reika shows a dark face.

Reika who has promise in high school Kendo was scouted by chief Tanizawa of Kouzuki security service. She must have some various complex thoughts regarding chief Tanizawa’s betrayal.

I am a guard. I’ll take away all the sparks flying on the people I protect.I will go with that simple idea

You’re strong.Seki-san I’m a guard before an employee of Kouzuki security service. That’s all. What about Fujimiya-kun.you can easily make clear distinction, can’t you? .Me?

Seki-san smiles at Reika.

You’re already family with these children, aren’t you? As anOnee-sanisn’t it natural for you to protect yourlittle sisterandlittle brother?

.Seki-san Fujimiya-san.I think that you’re more suited as anonee-santhan a guard Do you think that I don’t have the talent as a professional guard? I didn’t say that. Your striking and rushing power is outstanding. I think that you’re the best as a team’s vanguard. You’re under a competent commander after all.you’re not good at analyzing the situation and planning strategies Sorry.I’m dull at those Stop belittling yourself. People have things they’re suited and not. It’s better than Fujimiya-san than when you were so conceited about your combat ability, but. I’ve caused various troubles It’s fine.I was also bumping into your recklessness. We’re the same. Sorry. I also apologize. No.it’s all my fault That’s not true.I was at fault too

Were these the two who were so bad with each other?

People.change. They change steadily. People, and people’s relationships.

Let’s return to the topic.you can combine being the first class guard and everyone’sonee-san What I want to say is.Fujimiya-san who played as a lone wolf, dressed as a guy until now wasn’t that good. I think that thecute onee-sancharacter you’re doing right now as a guard is suited for you I wonder.I still don’t know yet

Reika answered bashfully.

But now, I will cherish what Seki-san said.the feeling of protecting the younger siblings as anelder sister Right.we can’t lose this fight

Yes.we’ll win. Definitely

.Seki-san

That wasn’t the top elite guard of Kouzuki security service. She’s becoming our ally from the bottom of her heart.

I’m dull so I’ll follow Seki-san and Margo imouto’s instructions. I will turn this body to a sword and charge to dangerous places!

Reika said

Before long.we arrive at the staircase leading to 19th floor.

.Watch your feet

Margo-san’s worried at Nei-san and Yukino who are trembling and called them out from behind

It’s okay! I’m clinging to Yo-chan!

Nei-san, me, and Yukino descends the stairs sticking to each other.

This is a high-rise hotel so the stairs between each floor is long. Even so.we arrived at 19th floor. The stairs heading downstairs are closed with fire walls.

.I’m opening it

Reika opens the iron door leading to the 19th floor.

.Gacha

.What?

The 19th floor’s state is completely different from the other floors.

What’s this.it’s different from the floor map I remember?

Seki-san is at loss.

There’s nothing on the 19th floor. Only thick concrete pillars and walls. The ceiling’s pipes are exposed. You can see the opposite wall several hundred meters away. All the four walls are gray concrete.no windows. This is more like a parking lot in a basement more than a luxury hotel. It’s dim except for the lights on the wall.

Yo.you guys are late

The strong light illuminates the floor.

There’s a large round white table around 20 meters away from us. There’s two people sitting there. Chief Tanizawa and miss Cordelia. Chief Tanizawa’s on a three-piece black suit. Miss Cordelia changed her dress into a pure white pants suit. A black and white woman. Both of them are our enemy

.Where’s Minaho?

Margo-san shouts at chief Tanizawa from the iron door on the stairway.

She inserts a cardboard that had fallen under the door. She’s trying to keep the door open

What are you doing there?

Isn’t that obvious? In this kind of location, one must secure an escape in advance

Margo-san answered.

It’s useless.once you jump into the stairs, we can just drop the walls at the upper floor. I can do that in this terminal you see!

Chief Tanizawa points at the terminal on the white table.

Is that so? But, I’ve been taught to do anything that would increase my survival chances. Kyouko-san did!

Margo-san’s real reason to leave this door open is.

For sister Edie’s sake. If ever the door can be locked remotely.sister Edie can’t jump into this floor.

Yeah, this looks good

Margo-san confirms that the door is fixed.

Let me ask once again.where is Minaho?

Our ranks are already prepared for battle.

Reika’s holding her cane of death.prepared to jump over chief Tanizawa. Seki-san also pulls out her pistol, ready for support. Michi’s standing in front of us. She’s hiding the red whip in her back.

Reika-oneesan.don’t narrow down the target yet. We don’t know where miss Cordelia’s subordinates are hiding

.Roger!

Margo-san instructs.Reika doesn’t charge towards chief Tanizawa but change her stance to be able to step in any direction.

Well trained! To think that you could make a team play with Fujimiya-kun

Chief Tanizawa’s impressed.

Nei, check the perimeter.they should have erased their presence. There’s no other way but to search with your eyes

Right.Miss Cordelia and the two attacked with Michi unaware of theirQI

There’s no choice but to look up with one’s eyes to find the white Viola

Yukino.look for them!

raja!

Yukino bit her tongue. Perhaps, she was trying to sayRogerI think.

There’s no need to rush.just say when you feelsomething’s strangeorthis feels bad!

Margo-san said

My.I wonder if you can find them easily. My cute kittens love hide and seek!

Miss Cordelia smiles suspiciously as she sit on the white table.

Reika-oneesan, you don’t need to search.leave it to Nei and others!

Reika might unconsciously look for the enemy without thinking from what miss Cordelia said.

Reika-oneesan.follow my instructions, concentrate so you can move at the max acceleration anytime. You don’t need to think of anything else!

O-Okay.

Reika cuts off her thoughts.

.Mr. Tanizawa knows where they’re hidden, but1

Miss Cordelia speaks to chief Tanizawa who’s sitting on the next seat.

What happened to Kuromori Minaho? I want to see her soon!

Chief Tanziawa.

My men are taking her in right now.she’ll be coming soon

Don’t forget that she’s also included in our contract.

.Contract

I know.Kuromori Minaho, Margo Starkweather, Natou Nei, your condition is to hand them over

That’s right. I don’t really care about the other children coming as a bonus but.if you don’t hand over Kuromori Minaho, then I can’t fulfil the contract on my side Don’t say that.she’ll be here soon. Believe me

Chief Tanizawa promised to hand over Minaho-neesan, Margo-san, and Nei-san to miss Cordelia?

Rather than that.aren’t you people a bit late?

They’re already here.

.Then

On the right wall from where we are. The door that’s about 15 meters apart opened suddenly
