Chapter 1342. School Festival A Part 3 / Dumb Master

「 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. Tuuuuuu…
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. 」
「 R-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 」
「 Kurose Anju-san, was it? 」
Megu recalls the name of the girl with braids.
「 What do you think of her? 」
Edie asks again.
「 Right, she’s a little weird. She’s so timid, and she looks troubled 」
Megu said.
「 That girl isn’t a bad one! She even thought that the explosives on her back could get a lot of people hurt depending on Yo-chan’s reaction 」
Nei said.
「 Yeah. She’s ignorant of the ways of the world and quite obedient. She truly believed the orders given to her 」
I think so too.
「 That’s why I knew that she’s someone in the nobility 」
I’m sure that Kurose-san is also a bodyguard of someone from the nobility since she was a child.
She was raised isolated from society together with her master.
That’s why she’s that kind of dumb-earnest girl.
「 Yeah, she’s not a bad girl. And also, she’s quite strong 」
Edie said.
「 Despite looking like that, she’s diligent in her training. She’s got the same strength as Mitama and Kinuka 」
She got plenty of fighting strength to be a bodyguard.
「 That girl knows well that she can’t beat me if we fought in that situation, that’s why she’s nervous 」
She guessed how strong Edie is in an instant.
「 She’s a capable and talented girl. It’s just that she’s not guided, she could grow further 」
Edie praises Kurose-san.
「 To think that girl is employed by an idiot. An enemy 」
That’s…
「 Darling, it’s much more stupid, crude, and dumb than you think. Furthermore, they have such an awful personalities. Using bomb terror for this? That’s just bad 」
Right…
He doesn’t even understand his own subordinate’s worth.
Letting such an obedient girl do such a harassment job.
「 Okay, I won’t go easy on them then 」
Our enemy will bite as soon as we show them an opening.
They’re that kind of idiot.
We’ll have to crush them down from start to finish.
「 That’s right 」
Edie smiles.
「 And, it’s okay to steal that girl from idiots like them 」
Huh?
「 It would be a waste to let go of such talent 」
Meaning, turning her to our ally?
「 Right, Yo-chan. I think that girl will remain unhappy if she stays under her master 」
Nei also added.
「 Look, Edie’s going with Margo-oneechan and me to America, see? Yo-chan’s bodyguards will decrease by one! 」
「 It’s okay to have as many talented guards as you want 」
That’s…
「 Okay, I’ll give it a thought 」
I replied that much.
I need to see what kind of a person Kurose Anju is for a little longer.
While we’re talking…
We’ve arrived at the principal’s office.
◇ ◇ ◇
Minaho-neesan’s influenced the layout of the school building, and so…
The principal’s office, the English preparation room earlier…
Hardly any students go there.
It’s designed to get the place disconnected from the flow of the school and students.
Therefore, nobody comes here, even in the middle of the school festival
「 Yoshi-kun, where’s the key? 」
「 Minaho-neesan gave me the master key to this school 」
The emergency spare broadcast room should also open using this key.
I inserted it into the keyhole.
Click.
Look, it opened.
I opened the door and peeked inside.
This is where the drugged Endou attacked Yukino half a year ago.
Although, I replaced Endou halfway and raped Yuknio while broadcasting it to the whole school.
It got cleaned up right after that.
Now, the small broadcast studio has a few pipe chairs.
Well, this is good enough for the discussion with the enemy.
「 Darling, they’re here 」
Edie said and looked at the corridor.
What.
Kurose-san is leading a group of ten people this way.
Oh, Kurose-san’s still wearing her uniform and backpack.
Then, there’s a university man wearing a black suit walking behind her.
The bodyguards are wearing the same black suit but you can tell who they’re surrounding and protecting.
「 Hey now, I thought Yo-chan told you to bring only two guards! 」
Nei said.
「 That’s just your arbitrary condition. We don’t have to follow it 」
The university guy behind Kurose-san said.
So he’s the chief of the guards.
「 Look, this is our territory! You barge into another person’s home and you enforce your own rules? 」
「 That’s okay, Ya-chan 」
I tell Nei.
「 If they’re going with that, then the discussion is over. We’re going back now 」
I locked the door to the reserve broadcast room and was about to leave.
「 W-W-Wait! U-Uhm, Kuromori-sama! 」
Kurose-san tries to stop me in a hurry.
「 I told you that Kuromori doesn’t exist here. I’m Yoshida 」
I looked at her and smiled.
She sure is an earnest girl.
Also, cute.
「 Uhm, everyone, please stop 」
Kurose-san, who leads the group, stops them from their tracks.
「 Tsujimoto-san, everyone else has to standby apart from you and me 」
Kurose-san talks to the other university guy.
「 However, Kurose, Norio-sama’s instructions 」
Tsujimoto protests to Kurose-san, but…
「 We have no choice! Kuromori-sama won’t talk unless there are only two bodyguards! 」
「 Are you telling me to disregard Norio-sama’s intentions and follow a commoner? 」
Oh? They see me as a commoner.
I’m not born from the nobility after all.
「 Sorry but I don’t care about the world of nobility. I mean, I don’t have any intention of talking to anyone rude. It’s just a waste of time 」
I make it clear to them.
「 Look, Kuromori-sama’s angry! 」
Kurose-san says with a fearful face.
「 But, Kurose 」
The chief bodyguard, Tsujimoto…
He’s also an idiot, just like his master.
He tries to push his rules no matter what.
「 I’ve had enough. I’m done spending time with you, we’re going back now 」
This time, I’m definitely going to leave the place.
At that moment.
「 Kufufu, Norio-oniisama lost 」
A girl’s voice comes from the group of black suit men.
「 Move 」
「 Mizuki-sama 」
Tsujimoto calls out to the girl wearing a black suit, but…
「 No problem. I can’t take a look at the other party’s face and talk to them if we keep this 」
I hear a voice of a girl with a strong mind among the black suit group.
「 I want to see his face and talk to him. Kuromori-sama’s face. Now, open the way! 」
「 Misuki-sama gave her orders! 」
Kurose-san told the men in black suit
「!!! 」
The black suit group shows a face that they have no choice in and moved to the side.
Oh.
There’s a tall high-school guy in an expensive suit.
And a high-school girl wearing a white dress.
「 Kuh!! 」
The guy is glaring at me with a bitter face.
Meanwhile, the girl is looking at me with the same interest in an animal.
「 Then, I’ll take my bodyguard Anju, and talk to Kuromori-sama 」
The girl in the white dress talks to the high-school guy in a suit.
「 Norio-oniisama, everyone, please wait here 」
「 Hey, wait. I won’t allow that, Mizuki! 」
The guy told his sister.
「 Then, Onii-sama, would you like to come with Tsujimoto? 」
The dress girl smiles.
「 They told us to bring only two bodyguards so it’s Anju and me, and Onii-sama and Tsujimoto 」
I see. Kurose-san…
She’s the bodyguard of this girl.
「 Why do I have to follow as someone with low birth like him says?! 」
The man in a suit speaks hatefully as he looks at me.
「 He’s the one who should follow me! I’m from the legitimate house of the noble Ishigami family! 」
Err.
「 Look, I don’t get you. You should name yourself properly 」
I said.
「 You have no manners! I’m Ishigami Norio 」
That kind of greeting?
「 I apologize for the late introductions, I’m the Ishigami house’s, Ishigami Norikazu’s daughter. Ishigami Mizuki 」
Meanwhile, a girl in a white dress introduces herself with elegant behavior.
「 Yoshida Yoshinobu. 」 Just a year 1 class 2 high school student 」
For now, I also looked at Ishigami Mizuki only and greeted them back.
「 Enough introductions. Ishigami Mizuki-san and Kurose-san can come with us. We’ll talk in this room 」
I open up the broadcast room’s door.
「 Certainly. Anju, let’s go. Then, Norio-oniisama, goodbye 」
Ishigami Mizuki-san leaves the group and goes with me together with Kurose-san.
「 No, uhm, wait. Mizuki-sama! 」
Tsujimoto tries to stop the girl in a white dress and her bodyguard in panic, but…
「 That’s right. Wait. Mizuki. I won’t allow this! 」
Ishigami Norio’s calling his sister from behind.
Ishigami Mizuki-san turned to her brother, and…
「 I mean, Norio-oniisama has no courage, right? 」
She smiled.
「 Norio-oniisama and I are different, I can talk to Kuromori-sama without a lot of bodyguards. Besides, I think Anju alone is more capable than your whole security group 」
As expected, Kurose-san’s skills were just as Edie guessed.
「 With that said, please wait in the corridor, lion with no courage. I’ll deal with the important discussion 」
Hearing his sister say that, Ishigami Norio;
「 W-Wait, I get it. T-Then, I’ll go too. 」 Tsujimoto, just you. D-Don’t you ever leave my side
Now he’s acknowledging the discussion with me together with his sister.
「 Ha, certainly! Everyone else is on standby here! You hear?! 」
Tsujimoto orders the black suits but there’s no response.
Oh, he’s not favored.
Then.
「 Ah, wait for a second, don’t bring any weapons in the room 」
Edie said.
「 If you’re holding any weapons, then hand it to your subordinate now 」
「 Mizuki-sama 」
Edie said. Kurose-san looked at her master.
「 Anju, do as you’re told. We’re the visitors here 」
Ishigami Mizuki-san orders.
「 I respectfully obey 」
Kurose-san lowers the backpack she’s carrying.
Something’s inside that backpack.
Probably some hidden shuriken and other small weapons.
「 Hold it until I return 」
She leaves the backpack to one of the black suits.
「 What about him, does he not have a weapon? 」
Edie asks Tsujimoto.
Tsujimoto looks at Ishigami Norio.
「 No, I don’t use any sort of weapon 」
He replies with a straight face.
「 Is that your FINAL ANSWER? 」
「 It’s my final answer! 」
Edie looked at me.
「 Break those who lie 」
I replied calmly.
「 Right, Darling 」
Quickly.
Edie jumped.
