He’s not dying.
Edie’s skilled.
I.
Look, the four of us here are students of this school. There’s nothing weird with us being here. However, I’m the only guy here, and Edie’s an abroad student
Edie’s setting in this school is that she’s an international student from the US.
Meanwhile, you’re a bunch of men wearing black suits, which makes you ten suspicious. Even if this is a school festival where they allow outsides, don’t you think that’s too suspicious?
I look at Ishigami’s unit and said.
If something goes wrong and you get into a fight, you’ll the ones who will get questioned
In a 10v4 situation, the suspicious group will be the men who surrounded the enrolled students.
You call yourselves witnesses, but who do you think the police will believe the statement of ordinary students or the suspicious group’s statement? We can insist that the guy fell on his own and fainted, and you’ll never be able to prove Edie’s assault you won’t know until you try
Koda said.
We’re from the Ishigami house! We’re a noble family! If we’re to talk to the police, they’re going to believe us more than you!
You’re just a subordinate here, yet, you’re going to use the authority of your Master’s house?
But.
Still, if that happens, it won’t be just you, but also the son and daughter of the noble who will get questioned by the police, right?
I said.
Are you sure about that? You’re going to let the children of nobility get taken by the police for questioning. Won’t that be a newspaper story instead of a police matter?
shoukin
Ishigami Norio looks at his subordinate, trembling.
I don’t want that. No police, no newspaper
Ishigami Mizuki speaks in displeasure.
Nonono, I’ll do something about that!
Kada Shoukin says something absurd
What will you do?
Ishigami Mizuki asks.
that’s.Well, I’m a student in Tokei Uni’s law department! I’m a professional in law!
You’re not even a professional! You’re just a uni student
Nei said.
what are you talking about! Stupid! Idiot! You’re not even a university student!
Obviously, we’re still high-schoolers
Yoshi-kun, is he an idiot?
Even Megu’s fed up with Kota.
What’s with you! L-Listen, look at this!
Kota Shoukin puts up his phone.
I have the proof here! The scene where she punched Tsujimoto! Take that, you bastard! Now we’re turning the tables! Now say sorry to me dammit!
Haa.
That half-hearted threat won’t work, didn’t I tell you. You see.
Yeah. You were hiding behind others until now after all
Megu told Koda Shoukin.
Right, you were hiding behind them, and so you can’t take photos!
Nei said.
The only ones you have on your phone are photos of Tsujimoto on the ground, right?
He hasn’t captured the moment where Edie knocked down Tsujimoto.
If it’s just a photo of him lying down, then that’s no evidence.
No, that’s not it, you stupid! I stretched out my arm from behind and took a photo! Yes, you there, you saw the Gaijin punch Tsujimoto in the face! Check it out!
He goes and lies again.
Yes, sure. You captured Edie’s fast movement with your phone! That’s amazing! Yeah!
Nei laughed.
Well, I’ve got great kinetic vision! Definitely amazing! So, I got the decisive moment captured!
Then you’re a superhuman then! Nope! You sure are an idiot
What did you say? You hit him, didn’t you?
Koda Shoukin points at Edie and shouts.
Then.
Nope. She didn’t hit Tsujimoto-san
Kurose Anju-san speaks.
Kurose-san remains guarding her master, Ishigami Mizuki said.
Stop it, you idiot! She hit Tsujimoto and that’s why he collapsed!
That’s what I’m telling you, she didn’t
Kurose-san said.
She kicked Tsujimoto-san
Yeah, she stretched out her hand on purpose to pretend that she was punching.
Edie kicked Tsujimoto at a quick speed.
Kufufu, talk about kinetic vision!
Nei laughs at Koda Shoukin!
you kicked him! That’s still the same! Hey!
Edie’s not as half-baked as this guy.
She’s thorough with her preparations.
There was this old Japanese saying that you look like a beaten up Buddha
Edie speaks something dumb.
So, if it was kicked, who does he look like then?
He’s just ridiculing Koda at this point.
Dammit! You bastard! Hey hey! You still admitted that you kicked him! If they were to examine Tsujimoto’s body, they’ll find marks of your kick! Then the hospital can write a medical report and we can sue you! Dammit!
Koda Shoukin still sticks with his story.
That’s unlikely. Tsujimoto-san’s body doesn’t have any physical trauma.
Kurose-san said.
Kurose, how can you tell?
Kota throws his stress at Kurose-san.
That’s because she used Qi on her kick. Tsujimoto-san collapsed not from a strong blow. He’s paralyzed because of the Qi. Even if you take him to the hospital, the diagnosis will only say that he slipped and fell So she knows about Qi techniques too.
I see. Edie’s right, she’s definitely talented as a bodyguard.
What the hell even is Qi?
As soon as Koda Shoukin said.
It’s something like this
Edie approached Koda and tapped his shoulder.
Meki?
He made a weird noise and then fell unconscious in place.
We should take this guy to Tsukiko
Edie said.
Right. He should just forget about us and the nobility and toss him far away
I told the Ishigami siblings.
If you keep such an evil man, then his rotten roots will only stain the name of the Ishigami house
I’m not involved. Kota’s someone Norio-oniisama chose
Ishigami Mizuki said.
But, Kuromori-sama is right. Norio-oniisama asked Koda to save his face twice, but both of them were a disaster!
No, that’s. Mizuki
So, I’ll say it too. You shouldn’t have such a vulgar man to be your chief strategist
Koda’s his chief strategist.
Ishigami house seems so gloomy now.
Mizuki, you even praised Koda for coming up with such a bold plan!
I never gave that evaluation! It was your misinterpretation Norio-oniisama
And poor Ishigami siblings.
Well, are you still planning to have a discussion?
I asked.
that’s.
we will! That’s why we came all the way to this place!
Ishigami Mizuki stopped her brother and said.
Oh, she doesn’t care about the two collapsed men.
The young lady is coldhearted. She’s got a cold personality.
Then, as scheduled, we’re going to discuss inside this room
I open the door to the emergency broadcast room.
However, only Kurose-san and you two can enter. Everyone else has to remain here
The two who collapsed will wake up in an hour. Don’t worry about them
Edie told the black suits.
Hmm.
Kurose-san’s the only one who looked at her back.
Seeing her gaze, Kudou-papa’s at the end of the corridor.
He’s erasing his presence, so the Ishigami siblings and the black suits haven’t noticed yet.
Kurose-san, you should focus on what’s most important to you right now
I told Kurose-san.
What’s most important for bodyguards is to keep their master safe.
Kurose-san’s master right now is Ishigami Mizuki.
Ah, yes, you’re right
What are you doing, Anju. Get yourself together!
Ishigami Mizuki scolds her bodyguard in displeasure.
Kudou-papa sends me a sign from the other side of the corridor.
We’re going to talk to the Ishigami siblings in the broadcast room, and meanwhile.
He’ll clean up Tsujimoto, Kota, and the other black suits.
That helps.
Then, let’s go inside
Norio-oniisama, Anju, let’s go
yeah, Mizuki
!
Then, Nei, Megu, Edie and I.
The other side has Ishigami Norio, Ishigami Mizuki, and Kurose Anju-san.
The numbers have reversed, and we entered the room.
