Hai! Hai! Hai!

Then, Rei-chan blocked it all off with her cane.

A shuriken falls to the ground where there are no people.

Gyaauun!

At that moment, Edie rushed at her full power, jumps and sends Rei-chan a flying kick.

Hauu!

Rei-chan tries to intercept it with her cane at full power, however,

Muda Muda muda!

Edie avoids the tip of the cane barely and then does a roundhouse kick.

Rei-chan blocks the kick with her cane.

Edie uses the recoil from the cane to do a somersault from behind.

Ora Ora Oraa!

Rei-chan does a three hit combo.

Edie dodged them all.

Edie waited for the third strike when Rei-chan’s body is stretched out then grabs the tip.

Rei-chan isn’t surprised, she kicks Edie’s hand that’s grabbing the cane.

Migyaa!

Edie released the cane on the last moment and jumped backward.

Yes, that’s good enough

Rei-chan said. Edie smiles.

It was a fantastic fight, and yet the two aren’t sweating nor breathing roughly.

That’s how it is. I use kicks, which aren’t allowed in sports. In our world, there’s no waiting, no verdicts, no cheating. It’s not a game. Our job is to protect people

Rei-chan turns to Captain Takeshiba and replied.

Ooh! Amazing!

The girls from the athletics club and the bystanders who were watching applauses.

Sorry for questioning your profession

Captain Takeshiba apologizes to Rei-chan.

I think I said so many rude things

Rei-chan.

People differ in their choices in life and how they think about it. I only talked out about my thoughts. It doesn’t mean that it has to be correct for everyone. Therefore, you should follow your opinion Captain Takeshiba listens to Rei-chan. All I wanted to do is to be useful to someone with the skills I learned. It just happened that someone has recruited me in this job

Rei-chan’s talking about chief Yazawa.

Even so, I had a long worry on how should I use my strengths. It’s only recently that I made a clear decision

Rei-chan shows a refreshed smile.

Showing up on television is just a farce, it’s foolish. However, Nikita-san and I fight to make free use of our bodies that are truly trained. I believe that it will do well if we can convey that degree of seriousness. That’s the propaganda of our company I’m truly sorry. I didn’t know anything, and yet I said such things

Captain Takeshiba reflects on herself.

Don’t mind it. Is the practice over?

Rei-chan asks.

Yes, all we’re doing is tidying up Is that so? Can we borrow Yamamine Megumi-san then? What?

Captain Takeshiba’s surprised.

Sorry, I can’t tell you the details, but it involves my current job

She shows the captain a smile.

Takeshiba-san then;

Yamamine, come here

Megu who’s cleaning up together with the other first years looks up at us.

I’m in the middle of carrying this to the clubroom Don’t mind that, come here

Megu lowers down the basket containing equipment she’s lifting earlier to the ground.

Then, she comes to us.

In the end, what’s with her? She’s been like that all day long

Captain Takeshiba asks me.

I mean, she could still be angry about Anya,

or maybe, she’s gotten angrier because she’s away from me.

And then, if we report the results of Kana-senpai.

Megu might erupt like a volcano.

I’m really sorry for the convenience she’s causing

I bow my head to Takeshiba-san.

Well, you two might fight sometimes, but still, I don’t get it. Like, why does Yamamine hate that foreigner this morning? Well, that one has a long story

Megu comes while we’re having the conversation.

What is it?

Megu looks at me feeling sullen.

Err.

What should I say?

While I’m worried about it.

Nice to meet you, you’re Yamamine Megumi-san, aren’t you?

Rei-chan smiles and talks to Megu.

?

She’s treating her as a stranger since Captain Takeshiba’s present.

Even so, Rei-chan’s actions were a bit strange.

Do you know why I came here to see you?

Why did Rei-chan come to the women’s athletics grounds?

A top elite bodyguard from Kouzuki SS like me went all the way to come for you

Megu looks confused.

Your family is in an emergency. No, worse, your family is in a crisis

The family is in a crisis.

You don’t have time to make that face, Yamamine Megumi-san

Rei-chan smiles.

It’s not me or Mana who she’s usually with.

Not even Nei who speaks in a joking tone.

Rei-chan speaks seriously, so the words ring inside Megu’s heart.

i It’s about time you stop being like that!

Rei-chan said.

You need the family but, does the family need you necessarily? You must rethink. Yamamine Megumi-san!

1. Yes, I am

Chapter 650

What’s going on? What do you mean by Yamamine’s family being in danger?

Captain Takeshiba asks Rei-chan.

To her, Megu’s family would be her parents at Yamamine house and me.

Captain doesn’t know about Kuromori family.

I’m not in a position to say anything. My job involves the duty of confidentiality

Rei-chan said with a smile.

However, once your practice is over, I recommend that you come home immediately. There are people with various problems gathering around the area Does it mean that we’re in danger too? No, there’s no need to be alarmed. The school’s circumference is already under Kouzuki SS’ protection. Oh, please try to use a bus on your way home if possible. All the buses that stop in front of the school should have a convoy from our company. They will follow until the station. If you reach the nearest station, then you’d be safe Well, even if they leave school now,

Kouzuki SS is taking control of all major points of traffic.

Maybe, they see Kudou-papa beat up some idiots who’re trying to make or break sticking out from the road, though

is that true? Have I lied to you?

Rei-chan looks at Captain.

Such beautiful eyes.

It’s okay. We’re getting the problem over by tonight. There won’t be any hindrances to your practice by tomorrow. I promise you that

Captain Takeshiba;

Hey! First years! Hurry up and finish cleaning up! Second years, help them out! We’re skipping the meeting for today! We’ll do it tomorrow! Hurry up and get ready to go home! We’ll go outside as a group! Group go-home today? Captain? It’s training, assuming that there’s an emergency, okay?

What is that supposed to mean?

Thank you for your cooperation

Rei-chan tells the captain.

Now then, Yamamine Megumi-san, please help everyone clean up, once you’re done, head to the principal’s office. That’s our emergency response headquarters for today But, I should go with you right now

Megu said.

No, please come once you’re done with your job as a member of your club. It’s a problem for us if you don’t know what to prioritize

Rei-chan said.

Edie, take Megu with you once she’s done cleaning up! Okay, Darling!

Yeah, we can let Edie protect Megu.

See ya later! We’ll be heading to the principal’s office now!

Nei tells Megu.

Sorry for the fuss, by the way,

Rei-chan talks to Captain.

You’re in the third year, aren’t you? Isn’t it about time for you to retire from the club activities? That’s true, but, I’m planning on entering a PE university

Captain replied.

I wasn’t able to leave a remarkable achievement like Fujimiya-san but, I would like to be a coach in athletics in the future Have you decided on which school to enter? No, I haven’t narrowed them down yet Oh, our school isn’t that strong in sports, so no teacher knows which school leads in PE teaching
