Chapter 119.2 - Equivalent Exchange

Thanks a lot, Yamajun.You raised your hand first since you know that Japanese, especially students, were rather troublesome in this regard. When an influential person like Yamajun raised his hand, the others would also follow suit.

「Yosh, everyone is in this plan!」

Yamada raised his hand, yelling vigorously when he saw that everyone has the same opinion.

「Yeah, let me in too, Momokawa!」

「Me too」

「Don't forget about this aquamancer, the key to your plan」

The Totem Pole Trio raised their hands too, agreeing to my plan.

Well then, now that I got everyone's approval, I'd no choice but to get the plan going ... Right? But wait a minute, there's another party member, right? That sole female member ...

「What about you, Ayase-san?」

「Eh?」

What's with that "Eh?" Reina whose face completely puzzled when I suddenly asked her raised an adorable voice- L0l1con limited- and looked at me with a dumbfounded face.

「Did you hear what I said just now, Ayase-san?」

「Uhm, yes?」

「Is there something you do not understand, any question, or idea?」

「Uhm, nope?」

「Then, do you understand what we are going to do?」

「Uhm, do your best, everyone!」

Reina was cheering for everyone. Yup, it seems this sh1tty b1tch still didn't get the current situation.

Well, suit yourself, Reina A Ayase. That'll save me from a lot of trouble, and I have no intention to pamper a sh1tty b1tch like you. I'd completed all the preparation to make this 『Spiritualist』 fought a splendid battle as our vanguard in this kind of case.

「When it comes to the tough boss fight during Goma's fortress capture operation, I think we're severely lacking in manpower, or rather, we would most likely be annihilated―― But, the chances of our victory would shot up if we'd Ayase-san's 『Spiritualist』 power to assist us.」

「Oi, wait a minute, Momokawa! Are you trying to make Reina-chan join the battle!?」

「Do you think I'm such a cruel man? It's a dangerous battle in which we might die after all. Ayase-san is a girl, after all, I'll be ashamed as a man if I force her to fight.」

Yeah, as long as I grasped her weakness, making her join the battle regardless of her consent was an extremely simple matter. And I was not referring to brainwashing magic or such.

「It's up to her to decide whether she joins the battle or not.」

「I-I'm no good with the battle!」

Meanwhile, that b1tch was already showing a tearful face.

I see you hate battle that much huh.

「Uhm, I understand. Then I take that Ayase-san is okay with no meal, bath, and hammock bedding, right?」

「Eh?」

「I'll only use my power for those who join the battle, not for those who don’t.」

Now choose, Reina A.Ayase.

Can you, a sh1tty ne3t, go back to living on walnuts, bathing in cold water, and sleeping on the lawn again?

Honestly, I don't hate the Totem Pole Trio's guts. They did have a criminal record of trying to kidnap Takanashi Kotori before, but it didn't really matter to me considering the situation.

At the very least, those three would cooperate with me in this capture plan. I mean, they did the job I assigned to them properly after all.

That's why I didn't want them to become a victim of a sh*tty girl like Reina.

「D-D*mn it all! Don't give me that sh*t Momokawa, you don't have the right for that!」

「Then what will you do? Are you going to kill me? If you do that, you'll lose all previous luxury forever and go back to your survival-like living. And don't forget, by the time you kill me, my 『Pain Return』 will kill you too.」

「Y-YOU LITTLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!」

「Calm down, Yamada-kun.」

Naturally, the one who called out to the enraged Yamada-kun who was almost flipping over the stew was none other than Yamajun.

「What's the matter!? Don't try to stop me, Yamajun!」

「I understand your anger for Ayase-san, and personally, I pity the cruel treatment for her too.」

「You're f*cking right!」

「But still, it doesn't change the fact that we still have to risk our lives in the upcoming battle. I admit that you're powerful, Yamada-kun, but even that is still not enough to guarantee that you won't die in this battle.」

「I f*cking know that too!」

「Uhm, what I mean to say is... we also have no leeway to protect Ayase-san.」

I almost couldn't hold back my laughter. I mean, despite the serious discussion, the way Yamajun talked was like a parent telling their naughty kid.

「W-What're ya talking 'bout! We will protect Reina-chan, otherwise, who will protect her!!」

「It's okay, Yamada-kun. You don't need to force yourself anymore... leave Ayase-san's matter to Souma-kun.」

「WA!?」

Pfft–Poor Yamada-kun―― Nonono, hold your horse, me, I absolutely mustn't laugh at him...

「Souma-kun is alive you know. He even gained a powerful vocation called 『Hero』, there's Kenzaki-san, class rep, and Sakura-san in his party, their goal is to save everyone.」

「Ha~h... W-W-What's with that...」

Yamada~, do you really think that Reina would someday notice your existence if you kept protecting her?Dream on dude, as if she could forget someone like that Souma-kun... Ha~h, what a pitiful unpopular man you are! As if reality would work per your wish.

I understood that sorrow. I really did, but sorry, it's too hilarious you know.

「Momokawa-kun met Souma-kun and Co. before he met us you know.」

And got betrayed by that Kenzaki Asuna, which caused me to be separated from them, XP.

「Souma-kun's party is far stronger than our current party. That's why they must be waiting for the arrival of the other classmates beyond this point.」

「Then, what, am I....」

「Yamada-kun, you already did everything you can to protect Ayase-san, it's time to give up.」

Yamajun patted Yamada-kun's trembling shoulder as he told the cruel truth to his friend with a sad face.

「I, I am... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!」

Thus, the sorrowful wail of a broken-hearted man resounded in the fairy plaza.

Hey, can I laugh already? I mean, this is too hilarious.
