Kinoshita-san said and took out tiny binoculars.

She looked at the main entrance.

It’s still early morning so there don’t seem to be that many students. There are cameras around. It’s attached to the pole on the upper right of the gate. Then, there’s a camera at the far left of the school grounds. I’m sketching it Then, Kinoshita-san took out a sketchbook and drew quickly the situation around the main gate.

Meanwhile.

Uhm

Matsumoto Miki-san speaks up.

I’ve been wondering for a while now. What is it?

Nei, who was sitting next to Miki-san, answered.

Why aren’t you asking me when it’s my school?

We haven’t asked Miki-san anything about her middle school.

Oh, there’s no point to it

Nei smiled.

but, that’s the school I go to every day

Miki-san looks uneasy. She can’t see the end of our thoughts.

Well yes, but how many times have you been in school at this time of day Miki-san? What? How many times have you walked through the front of the main gate at this time of day, Miki-san? That’s.

Only the sports club arrives early for morning training.

Miki-san isn’t from any sports club.

We’re not letting Miki-san’s knowledge give us bias. Thus, we’re handling the situation without any prior information

Nei said.

Okay, I’m done. The cameras are here and here. You don’t have to be conscious about it, but just make sure the cameras don’t see your faces

Kinoshita-san gives me a sketchbook of the situation around the main gate.

Thanks

I look at the sketch to check the location of the camera with Nei and Edie and show it to Kurose Anju.

Izumi, you don’t have to look at it. I mean, don’t show your face. Hide until I tell you it’s good

Izumi tries to peek at the sketch so I gave her an order.

Izumi-san, please hide for now

Tsukiko from the passenger seat guides Izumi using her Miko power.

i understand nyan

Izumi hides in the trunk of the van.

Also, unfortunately, the gate isn’t wide enough for our car to get through

True, it’s open only enough for students to enter.

As expected, we need to go through the main gate where the cameras are. Anju-chan, let’s go!

Kinoshita-san looks at Kurose Anju

Kurose Anju’s wearing a middle-school PE uniform, she can go through the main gate and open it wide enough for the car to pass, and then we’ll drive inside.

That’s the kind of strategy we’re going with.

And so, Anju-chan, sorry but please go to the Judo hall on foot, you’ll stand out so you don’t have to run. But please join us in five minutes Roger that

Kurose Anju moves from the rear of the cargo area to the sliding door of the van.

She’s trained as a bodyguard, so she should know the buildings inside the middle school are located.

If anything happens we’ll be on your back, so stay calm Yes

Edie motivated her and then, Kurose Anju opened the sliding door and went out.

She went to the main gate and slowly opened it, trying not to stand out.

A male student was walking to school in front of Anju, dressed in a school uniform.

There are no students behind her.

Yes, don’t rush, take a nice tempo. But still, Anju walks too cleanly

Edie’s right, Kurose Anju’s walk is too elegant for someone swearing jerseys.

She was in a boarding school for the upper class in Switzerland until before summer

Nei’s right. Kurose Anju was serving as Ishigami Mizuki’s bodyguard while attending school in Switzerland.

That school definitely taught her how to walk elegantly like that It’s great that she walks beautifully, but she doesn’t look like a middle school girl at all

I look at Kurose Anju’s small butt and muttered.

I’ll give Anju some lessons on various ways of walking

Edie came from an assassination cult in New Orleans, so she has that mastered.

Okay, touchdown

Kurose Anju reaches the main gate.

Look at her, she’s adjusted her strides so the other students would be gone by the time she’s there. That’s impressive

Yeah, she arrived at the main gate just as the students were breaking off from the gate.

Then, Kurose Anju touches the edge of the gate.

She braces her legs and pushed them.

The huge gate slowly opens.

We should start moving now

Kinoshita-san turns on the engine.

Then, she pushes the accelerator.

We’re driving slowly.

By the time Kurose Anju opens the gate enough for us to get in.

We passed through the gate.

But.

Hey, you, what are you doing?

I see a huge man who looked like a middle-school teacher running towards Kurose Anju from the left side of the gate, which is a blind spot from the outside.

Don’t open the gate without asking! What year are you on? That’s Otani-sensei, he’s a medical guidance staff

Matsumoto Miki-san says from inside the van.

Damn, he’s hiding from where the students can’t see and checks on their clothes and stuff

Nei said.

That teacher looks scary, this is bad.

How do we deal with it?

Kinoshita-san, just continue driving, then stop the car as soon as you enter the main gate

Tsukiko said, and she opened the passenger seat in a hurry.

Roger!

Kinoshita-san accelerates the car to plow the car between the teacher and Kurose Anju.

There we go!

Kikikiki, the brakes squeal.

what the hell? That was dangerous you know!

The teacher’s attention turned from Kurose Anju to our van.

Good Morning. We’re here to inspect the water supply

Tsukiko then speaks from the passenger seat.

water supply? Yes, Sanka-sensei, the Judo club advisor told us to check the judo hall as there might be a leak

Tsukiko uses her power.

I think Otani-sensei is aware of that, yes?

The medical guidance teacher.

Ah? I think I heard about it. Yeah. Right, the judo hall is.

His memories are overwritten.

Yes. So, there should be no problems if we go inside, the inspection will only take 30 minutes. There should be no problems with this company’s car on campus in the meantime Yes, I don’t think there’s a problem with that If there are any other staff in the faculty room or if anyone asks about it, then please tell them that It’s just a plumbing company coming for inspection Yes, I got it. I’ll answer them that Then, please return to the staff room. Inspecting the attendance today is over Right. I’ll do just that

The teacher turns around and walks to the building.

He’s completely forgotten that he saw Kurose Anju.

How?

Matsumoto Miki’s surprised.

Oh that? Tsukiko-san is one of those you call a hypnotist

Nei explains wrongly while laughing.

Then.

Anju-chan, get in, we’ll get there sooner

We already stopped the car, so we should take Kurose Anju with us now.

I’m sorry. I was surprised

Kurose Anju says while getting inside

It seems that she’s reflecting on being unable to react when the teacher suddenly appeared.

Don’t mind it. We’re used to it

I told Kurose Anju.

I was like that too.

Back when I had just joined the Black Forest.

Okay, let’s drive off now

Kinoshita-san drives the car again.

Our car’s inside the middle school, so we’re driving slowly.

This time, we headed to the judo hall without any stops.

We cut around and went to the back of the school building.

It’s on the side of the gym.

Okay, thank you for boarding our trip. We’re reaching the judo hall, Judo Hall is our next stop. Please don’t forget your belongings while you unboard

Finally.

We’ve reached the judo hall where Matsumoto Miki-san’s boyfriend is.

It makes you think that what you see is a coincidence.
