Chapter 1922 How to deal with them?
Sometime after knocking the three small fries unconscious, I escorted the three girls away from the scene. Setsuna-nee and Juri still had to report to the dean regarding the patrols, after all. And since it’s already past the time, they’re going to join us for dinner.
With people still walking around on both hills, we’d just attract attention if we were found standing before the three unconscious idiots.
In any case, knowing how their mind works. I could already guess what they were going to do after waking up.
They’ll go file a complaint to the management and demand justice for what they suffered.
That’s why on our way there, I talked to Satsuki and Setsuna-nee about our next step. Although I said I wanted to avoid trouble, that became inevitable by now.
Besides, even if I only assumed they’re coming after Satsuki and Setsuna-nee, who knows what they’ll do? Let’s say they didn’t get to them. Then, there’s still a huge possibility that unlucky students or any girls walking around the hill might run into them. With how intimidating they appeared because of their horrendous looks, it’s more than likely that those girls would be left hopeless in pushing them away.
I settled that problem now that I knocked them down.
Then... What we should do next is to prevent it from happening again.
And what better way to do that than rely on those in authority?
“Ruki... What are you saying? Look for an employee of the hill and report what happened? I thought you said there would be no trouble?”
That was Juri’s immediate reaction after telling them my thoughts. Although the Maemura sisters didn’t say anything, their concerns were also apparent on their faces. In particular, Satsuki held my arm tight as she put on a serious expression. She’s waiting for me to elaborate on it.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
“Sorry, Juri. I lied. Deciding to deal with them is already trouble, isn't it? It was an impulsive action on my part. However, now that I’ve done it, I believe it’s better to make our first move than wait for them to bring trouble to our heads.” I started with an apology before expanding on my thoughts.
I also didn’t leave out the other possibility. For example, holding a grudge against us and finding a different target instead. They’re already set on making trouble. Better to deal with them swiftly than wait for another incident to happen.
After I finished sharing my thoughts with them, all three girls contemplated for a while. And the first one to open their mouth was Setsuna-nee.
“Oi, shameless guy, stop acting like a hero. Don’t trouble yourself over this... We’ll handle it. Right, Juri?”
“Eh? Setsu. What are you talking about? How can we handle this?”
“He’s an idiot, nee-san. Not stupid. But you see, that’s just how it is. He’s aware of our concerns and I trust he can get away with this. Though... I also feel responsible for asking him to break their eggs...”
“Don’t say that, Satsuki-chan. Ruki will still do it regardless. He’s someone who won’t just stand by if we suffer an injustice. And, Setsu, you know we can still help him, right? Believe in him. Your brother-in-law is a man of many wonders.”
“Who the hell is my brother-in-law? And what many wonders?! Ugh...”
Alright. Juri exaggerated that part but even then, Setsuna-
nee’s reaction was also over the top...

Sometime later, after reporting to that employee, we returned to the gathering area. My girls already reserved a spot for us so eating dinner with them went smoothly. Setsuna-nee and Juri went to the Dean to report the result of their task before joining us at our table.
And then, as the Camp Managers were about to light the huge bonfire they gathered in the middle, Shio appeared at our table. She called out to me and brought me away with her.
Expecting this scenario, I looked at my girls and told them not to worry about me. I’ve already told them what happened and explained that I could handle it anyway.
And to Sakuma’s dismay, Setsuna-nee also stood up and followed behind us along with Juri.
Given that it was big enough of an issue that would surely involve the intervention of the hill management, there’s no way we could keep that incident to ourselves. That’s why rather than surprise the Dean, the professors, and the teachers with their arrival, we just decided to tell them about it in advance. Setsuna-nee and Juri handled that when they went to report earlier.
As for Satsuki, I asked her to remain with the other girls. Setsuna-nee should be enough as an eyewitness.
With that, while most students’ attention was focused on the upcoming bonfire lighting, Shio along with Setsuna-nee and Juri escorted me to their cabin area where the Dean should be waiting. Most likely, she wanted to hear the incident from me herself. That way, she could determine whether to punish me or stand by my side.
Somehow, Shiina also popped up on our side at one point. From her mouth, I learned that she also became aware of what happened. She’s here to support me, I guess?
Due to that, I ended up being escorted by four beautiful women... The interrogation and investigation have yet to start but I’m already winning.
