I said.
He’s the one who wants to meet me, right? I didn’t make any promises with your Master. I have no intentions with someone that rude
I walked up to Kurose-san and approached the small camera on her shoulder.
If you want to come, then do it. Come here However, only two bodyguards. It’s annoying to have a bunch of bodyguards walking around at a fun school festival. Have some common sense I said, then opened the school festival map.
Err.
We don’t even know who the other party is so it’s dangerous to call them to the principal’s office.
She doesn’t know that the whole school is under the Black Forest’s control.
We shouldn’t give them hints then.
If that’s the case.
Nobody uses this room during the school festival
Megu points at the map of the school building.
Yeah, the emergency broadcast room next to the principal’s office isn’t usually in use.
That’s the room where Endou attacked Yukino last May, and I eventually raped her.
Oh, I’m in the broadcast committee so I have the key
Edie gives out an easy lie.
This room is soundproof so we can have secret conversations here
Kurose-san, remember. It’s this room. You’re here right now
I show Kurose-san the map and give instructions.
Ah, yes. I can see it
Kurose-san understood it right away.
Oh, she belongs to the bodyguard families.
Guards mainly check out the places to follow in advance.
They’re accustomed to looking at maps and getting a sense of what the space looks like
Good, come to this room after five minutes I won’t wait for more, so dash for it. You hear?
I look at the camera and said.
Go, you should meet with your master now
Edie told Kurose-san.
Oh, right. I understand. Thank you
Kurose-san bows her head to Edie.
Then, she bows her head.
uhm, I’m sorry for the trouble. We will see you later
She hurries and leaves.
Wait, Kurose-san
I stopped Kurose-san at that moment.
what?
Kurose-san turned around in surprise.
Which family are you serving?
The way she’s behaving, I can tell that she has the elegance of someone from the nobility.
Her uniform is different so she’s not from Misuzu’s school.
But.
The school for young ladies only has the ladies of nobility.
The sons of nobility, and their bodyguard, should be attending a different school.
Just like Kurose-san.
That’s.
Kurose-san paused for a moment.
Then, after confirming that there’s no point in hiding anymore.
She whispered.
I’m a servant of the Ishigami house
Oh, I get it now.
Ishigami house should be a relative of Motoko’s Kuromiya house.
I see. So that’s how it is.
1342. School Festival A Part 3 Dumb Master
1343. School Festival A Part 4 Violently
I think they’re coming to protest on Motoko coming to our home
I tell Megu, Nei, and Edie while we’re on our way to the broadcasting room next to the principal’s office.
Well, that was waiting to happen. There’s nothing else recent that comes to mind
Nei laughs.
Should we tell Minaho-neesan, just in case?
I took out my phone.
Katsuko-nee’s coaching the tennis club girls at the bakery.
She’s tied up.
Minaho-neesan’s probably teaching the prostitute cadets in the basement of the principal’s office, but.
No, since it’s the school festival today, they might’ve moved to the underground facility in the hotel at the front of the station.
Then.
Purururururu!
My phone rings before I could make a call.
I guess it’s Minaho-oneesan if you look at the timing.
Nei’s right, the phone shows Minaho-neesan’s name.
It’s likely that the enemy takes away our phones, so.
We don’t actually register our names.
For example, Minaho-neesan’s name here is Sategaya Yasue-obaasan
Hello
I answered the call.
It’s me, Yoshinobu. I saw it all. Nearly everything is as you guessed. And so, I’ll let you take care of it later. We’re still busy
Minaho-neesan talks quickly.
I’m sure you’d be able to handle it. We’ll accept the outcome of your decisions. See you
Putsu. Tuu.
She ended the call.
What did Minaho-oneesan say?
Megu asks me.
She told me to deal with ith myself
It’s the usual.
This is just another test for me to increase my experience.
What’s the plan, should we bring Tsukiko-san with us?
Megu asks worriedly.
It helps to have Tsukiko, who can read minds, with us.
The other girls who have the same Takakura shrine maiden’s power, are in Misuzu’s school for the young ladies so they’re not coming here.
Although.
No, let’s not. They know about the shrine maidens
They even added the condition of not letting the shrine maiden come near them.
But, Yoshi-kun, we didn’t agree that we won’t bring Tsukiko-san with us
Right. I didn’t agree to anything.
No, talking about Tsukiko could be their trap
I said.
Trap?
Megu’s surprised.
Yeah. If Tsukiko comes and supports us, our bakery’s security will get loose. Mitama’s there, and her combat skills are amazing, but still, she’s not that great at spotting enemies and keeping an eye around.
If our enemy is clever, then they can set that up as a trap.
The combination of Mitama’s combat prowess and Tsukiko’s spotting skill makes them a single defense system. Mitama’s straightforward so she’ll follow Tsukiko’s instructions She respects those who have power.
And she doesn’t doubt her allies.
That’s what’s good about Mitama.
The worst thing that could happen to us is for a scene to happen in the bakery’s open cafe. That’s why nobody must get hurt
It’s a school festival that attracts a lot of outside people as well as the general students.
Earlier, the enemy made threats about having bombs. We saw through that, but.
Right, that’s them showing that they’re not afraid to involve innocent people
Edie said.
Even if it’s not a suicide bomber that will destroy school buildings, they could at least still hurt some people who aren’t involved. That’s the message
Nei analyzes.
And so. It’s better to leave Tsukiko in the bakery
I think.
But, Yoshi-kun, Kudou-san’s also there
Megu speaks of Kudou-papa
Yeah, Kudou-san’s there, but don’t expect him to help out first. He’s got a different line of work
We don’t know the instructions Kudou-papa received.
Right, Kudou-san has his circumstances, and so we can’t expect him to move the way we want him to
Nei smiles.
Kudou-san’s presence is reassuring, but don’t depend on him. We need to consider dealing with it ourselves as much as possible.
right. I got it, Yoshi-kun
Megu agreed.
Err, Mana’s coming soon, right?
The new middle school group.
Mana, Eri, Rie, Arisu, and Kinuka, will come and play in our school.
Yo-chan doesn’t have to worry about them. Minaho-oneechan should’ve contacted them already
Nei’s right.
Minaho-neesan’s the head of the family, so she won’t forget to contact them.
Those girls will join up in the bakery. Kinuka is just like Mitama, she can’t function without the vigilance of the twins
Edie’s right.
Furthermore, Kinuka’s already busy keeping the four of them safe.
So, don’t call them over. I think it’s better to have them go to the bakery and reinforce the security there
Mitama and Kinuka work together as the Anjou sisters.
On the other hand.
Edie’s the only bodyguard we can rely on.
Don’t worry, I got this
Edie smiled as she guessed my thoughts.
That aside, Darling, what do you think of the girl earlier?
The girl earlier?
Oh, the one who had fake explosives on her backpack and tried to take me outside to her Master’s car
