Chapter 256: The Encounter of Fates (Part 2)
No matter what, there is one thing that will never change, and that is the bond between family members.
Shinji does this to Sakura and Fujino, and Mikiya does the same to Azaka——
"Azaka, tell me more. Although I probably can't cause trouble at the academy like Shinji, I can still arrange for you to transfer schools, and if all else fails, we can return home."
For the sake of his current job, Mikiya made the firm decision to drop out of university. When considering the comparison between an unregistered underground office and a top-tier university in the Tokyo metropolitan area, it is clear which is more important and which is superior or inferior.
No normal parent would support their child dropping out of school to work in an underground office with no visible future. Not to mention that this office only has two employees, Fujino, Shinji, and Sakura, including the boss, who are all helping out without formal registration.
The entire Kokutou family never expected that even the usually obedient and well-behaved Mikiya would go against everyone's advice this time, refusing to listen to anyone and ultimately causing a falling out with the family. Now, for the sake of his sister, Mikiya is willing to return to the estranged home, which clearly shows his concern for her.
Girls with tsundere personalities like Azaka are most afraid of unintentionally direct approaches from boys. Suddenly, all the "tsun" completely disappears, leaving behind only the "dere."
"Hmph~ You're meddling in other people's affairs, but since you've said it that way, I reluctantly suppose I can tell you."
—Truly a textbook example of a "Tsundere" response.
Shinji silently sighed in his heart, along with Mikiya, who had finished tidying up the coffee table, listening to the biggest scandal in the history of the Reien Girl's Academy.
The Reien Girl's Academy, where Fujino, Sakura, and Azaka, three characters representing little sisters, are enrolled, is a prestigious girls' school established by the (Christian) Church. Its main campus is located in England, while the branch campus is established in the suburbs of Mifune City. Although students and teachers are not compelled to have a particular faith, the school maintains and enforces the conservative atmosphere typical of church-affiliated institutions.
The school's atmosphere is strict, and it could be said that it focuses more on training nuns rather than cultivating noble young ladies. Shinji had once seen the thick volume of school regulations that Sakura brought home, which was thicker than all the rules and regulations of the schools he attended in his previous life combined, and it made his scalp tingle.
On the other hand, after confirming that Kaori Tachibana was not in danger, Fujino returned to the dormitory and informed her friend, Azaka Kokutou, about the situation.
A man invading the girls' dormitory and attempting to assault a female classmate? This was unacceptable! Azaka was furious upon hearing the news. Despite her brother complex, she was fundamentally a good girl with the spirit and sense of justice that a young person should have. She was determined to take action in this matter.
After Kaori Tachibana regained consciousness, Azaka and Fujino quietly approached her. Learning that Fujino was the one who had saved her, Kaori Tachibana confided in them and revealed everything.
Upon hearing that the mastermind was Hideo Hayama, the homeroom teacher of Class 1-4, and that he had implicated the entire class, Azaka knew they couldn't act rashly. Without evidence, it would be difficult to take down Hideo Hayama, especially when the entire class was providing him with cover. They needed to plan carefully.
In the following days, Azaka hid Kaori Tachibana in her dormitory, while Fujino, who was stronger and more experienced, personally protected her to ensure her safety. They created the illusion of the victim going missing to deceive Hideo Hayama. Meanwhile, Azaka used her social connections and extensive network to secretly investigate and gather evidence within the school. They were preparing to expose this major scandal, bring justice to Kaori Tachibana, and restore peace to the academy.
Now, they had collected enough evidence, and Azaka Kokutou was determined to bring the scumbag Yezawa to justice.

Unfortunately, in the original, no one saved Kaori from the assault.
PS2: Nice Saved Fujino!
