114 Twenty-four stories, "Calling."

"Mr. Barren... you were very strong"

After the dispute over the right to participate in the war game is over.

Me and Mize were talking in an unpopular place again to discuss future policies.

"Oh. But you haven't taken 50% of it seriously yet."

"What!? Oh, really...?

"I had a lot of room when using my belt. Perhaps we can use higher-ranked magic... and wear more magic."

In particular, how much magic can be retained at a time is an important status for the wearer. It's like a compression ratio for compression users.

"Mize, are you done practicing Exodus yet?

"Yes, I'm free today, so I think we can focus on dismantling the bomb"

"Right. … Then it's time to rendezvous with the Elysians"

It's time for the sun to set, so students will start going home one by one.

We can move more fully from here. We headed to the rendezvous point with Elisia and the others, as we indicated beforehand.

"Thank you for waiting."

Elysia speaks to us when we first arrived at the rendezvous point. There was also a figure of Gran right behind it.

"Elysia, was there a bomb?

"Yeah, I found some."

Looks like he was planted on the tools of the eagle group as well as the lion group.

"The students are also decreasing a bit. I'm sorry I'm tired of practicing at the competition festival, but it's time to move on to demolition."

When I told them that, they all nodded with a motivated look.

Really...... I had a reliable companion.

"It's almost night."

at the entrance to the warehouse.

Looking up at the darkened sky, Elisia shrugged.

"If you're fucking around at this hour, we're more suspicious. Shouldn't we cut it up already?

"I'd love to do that if I could... but for what I found today, I'd like to have it dismantled by the end of the day"

I answered Gran's question thinking.

Corner, I investigated the tools the bomb was planted with, but tomorrow, they might move the place. I just want to avoid the hassle twice.

"... hmm?

At that time, I felt signs of people nearby.

Interrupt the demolition of the bomb and look in the direction indicated. Next door Elisia also looked in the same direction with a sharp eye.

"...... Too Eight"

"Oh.... everyone, interrupt the work. Somebody's coming."

Speak up to Gran and Mize, who are in the warehouse.

If you're the kind of person you'd be noticed at this distance, you wouldn't be a big human being. But maybe - an imperial agent.

"Are you practicing late at night like this?

Eventually it was the brunette shortcut girl who showed up before us.

"Mira?"

Calling the name, Mira bows her head "Good evening".

Mira spoke to us when we were caught.

"To Mr. Too Eight, you're Mr. Mize. I remember you two as students of the Lions."

"Heh... I can't believe you even know about us. Maybe we'll meet the students and remember the faces of all the students?

Elisia asks jokingly.

Mira replied with a serious look as usual.

"Yes, at least I remember all the students in the same grade"

That was completely unexpected. Elisia, who asked the question, also complains.

As the silence lagged, I immediately remembered my original purpose.

"This much for the competition festival practice, should we go home today?"

"Huh...? But, Mr. Too Eight, that's..."

I told Mize that I should continue with the demolition work, and I said with my gaze, "I want you to follow me."

Unfortunately, it should be dissolved today at a time when the student council is thus blinded. Perhaps we should withdraw this time slot as a guide in the future.

"Well, take care, gentlemen"

We bowed our heads again to Mira's words and left the school behind.

But on our backs - Mira's gaze had been pouring all along.

◆

After school the next day.

On my way to the ground, I ran into Mira.

"Mr. Tweet. Can I have a word?

"I'm going to join the Eagles practice..."

"Before you do, could you please give us some time?"

Keep going, Mira says.

"Please come to the Student Council Room. … you are always acting together, the other three are with you"

Mira says with a strange face.

Did you get a feel for this?
