You?

Why?

The Ishigami siblings.

Just like you two. Some don’t find it amusing that I, who wasn’t born in the nobility, became Misuzu’s partner, the daughter of the Kouzuki house

I explained.

People are disgusted by the fact that people like me are getting inside the Kouzuki house.

That’s why they want to tear me off from Jii-chan and Misuzu.

Even if it means killing me.

The enemy’s set a trap to eliminate me, or ruin my reputation that the Kouzuki house had no choice but to abandon me

That’s the case.

Also, it’s a good idea for them to go to a place that won’t have Misuzu so she doesn’t get harmed

Meaning, the enemy wants to attack Yo-chan, but they don’t want to get the young lady of the Kouzuki house to get involved!

Then that means.

The enemy is someone who knows from somewhere that Misuzu won’t come to our school festival.

If the information is leaked, then.

Wait a second, if the enemy is saying that they’re concerned with Misuzu-sama’s safety, why is it that they’re trying to harm Onii-sama and me?

Right, they don’t care if the Ishigami siblings get injured or killed.

The people who could think that.

There’s only one possibility.

I see it now

Our enemy is within the Kouzuki house.

They got the information that Misuzu and Ruriko won’t come from the Kouzuki SS.

The biggest group who’s bitter about me getting into the Kouzuki house are them

Shou-neechan’s probably noticed the problem inside the Kouzuki house beforehand.

That’s why she can’t use the regular troops because that’ll leak the information to the enemy.

Kudou-papa and his unit had to be deployed.

Shou-neechan’s as reliable as ever. She plans to check the holes in the organization using this opportunity.

The enemy’s able to get inside the Kouzuki SS.

She’s deliberately let them swim to remove the entire group.

Hey, what is it that you figured out

That’s right, let us know too

The Ishigami siblings tell me with a displeased face.

Well, it just means that we’re in a bad situation

We’re in a predicament, whether we survive or not depends on the next moves

Edie smiled.

It doesn’t matter if it’s you or me. They will attack in this school, and if anyone’s injured, or dies, the enemy wins

The enemy’s subordinates have blended in with the school festival visitors

Furthermore, our enemy’s already hinted the possibility of a bomb

Edie looked at Kurose Anju-san.

Earlier, you told us that you were carrying a bomb on your backpack, which was a fake

Ah, yes

Right, Kurose-san was already forced to use bomb terror as a tactic.

Well, Kurose-san actually wasn’t carrying explosives, but still.

Those were Koda’s instructions too, right?

Yes, that’s right

Kurose-san replies.

That was an advance warning. The girl doesn’t have the bomb, but he gave bombs to others to kill Darling and the people at the school fest.

Why do it in such a roundabout manner?

Ishigami Norio asks with a dumb face.

It’s obviously to alert us to the explosives and make us use extra manpower

Kudou-papa’s definitely brought his subordinates, but.

He has limits in his manpower.

We’re in the middle of the school festival, and so we have students and guests watching.

Kudou-papa’s hidden crew can’t move much.

With a limited number of people, they have to constantly monitor the school to make sure no explosives are secretly brought into the school.

Well, using explosives would be the last resort. I don’t think they will detonate the bomb unless they’re sure they can blow up Yo-chan and Ishigami-san. There’s no point in injuring other people in an explosion and not the targets Nei said.

The enemy doesn’t want to do just regular massacre terrorism.

I’m sure that they want to seize the power of the Kouzuki house themselves after kicking me out.

I’m sure they’re avoiding anything that could prove fatal to them later on if possible.

Anyway, we’ll send Ishigami-san off the school securely. Once you left the school and we’re apart, the enemy can’t target you anymore

If they were to get injured while still in the middle of their visit, then that would be my responsibility.

But if we’re to send off the Ishigami siblings and we’re apart, I can’t bear responsibility to that.

Our car’s parked outside the school’s main entrance

Contact your chauffeur, tell him to bring the car in front of our building

Ishigami Norio and Mizuki said.

Are you stupid? Your car is the most likely to be plastered with explosives!

You can have the car bought in front of the school building and they’ll detonate it as soon as you get in.

That’ll definitely kill me since I’m sending them off.

Koda was with you in that car, right? So, consider that there’s enough possibility that he’s done something to it

i see

That’s indeed a possibility

Please do something about these dumb siblings.

We’ll prepare a different car to send Ishigami-san off

I said.

Hey, Yoshi-kun, in that case,

Megu who had been quiet all this time, speaks up.

The room next to this one

Right, the room next to the reserve broadcast room is the principal’s office.

From there, you could go down to the hidden room in the basement and let Ishigami-san escape from the secret garage in the faculty parking lot.

Don’t Megumi

Edie stopped Megu.

Our enemy is investigating the school. If they can’t get Darling today, they’ll use it for their next opportunity

The enemy is inside the Kouzuki house, so they’re planning long-term.

If you let the enemy discover the secrets of this school, it’ll become a problem later

The enemy knows that the Ishigami siblings entered this room.

And if the Ishgami siblings were to be seen exiting the faculty parking lot.

They’ll figure out that we have hidden passageways here.

You both have phones, right?

Of course

I have it here too

This is the broadcast room so it’s blocked from radio waves. But, the enemy should be checking your location through GPS

The principal’s office and the hidden room in the basement and the secret passageway are all built to prevent any reception.

However, once they walk out of the hidden garage of the parking lot, they’ll get through the reception.

It’s troublesome to have the enemy know that it’s the exit to the hidden passage.

We need to leave the room as normal, and take Ishigami-san out of the school fairly and honestly

Going through students enjoying the school festival and visitors from the outside.

That’s a hard situation.

First, let’s arrange the car

We can’t use the cars from Kouzuki SS.

We need to consider that we have an enemy among the guards in the cars.

Our only choice is to rely on Kudou-papa.

Kudou-papa should’ve guessed the situation and is preparing the car already.

Yo-chan, call Minaho-oneechan

Nei said.

But, Minaho-neesan told me to deal with it myself

Right, Minaho-neesan.

Yoshi-kun. When you’re in trouble, you should consult with them, isn’t that a decision too?

Megu said.

Either way, we’re in a heavy situation so we’re going to need help

Edie added.

Right. I should ask for advice

I took the extension phone on the wall.

Since it’s Minaho-neesan, she’s likely to be listening to our conversation from the start.

But still, I’m going to use the telephone since the Ishigami siblings and Kurose-san is watching.

I heard it all. I’ve made some arrangements

As soon as I press the phone to my ear, I hear Minaho-neesan’s voice.

It’s common that you can’t decide everything yourself

Minaho-neesan seems happy that I chose to consult with her.
