Chapter 1345. School Festival Part 6 Predicament

Tell me this

I ask Ishigami Mizuki.

Whats your school? Youre not from the same school as Misuzu, right?

The girls who attend the school for the young ladies

Went to the garden party that was conducted at the garden of the Kouzuki main mansion.

She wasnt there.

Im attending a boarding school in Switzerland

Ishigami Mizuki.

Anjus with me. I graduated from middle school in Switzerland and came back to Japan this July

I see, end of the school year in Switzerland is also before the summer break

Nei said.

School doesnt start in April like in Japan, but the graduation ceremony is in July.

Nei went to America, so she knows about schools other than Japan.

Meaning, Ishigami Mizuki attended a middle school in Switzerland before summer.

And so, Im transferring to a Japanese high school this fall. Ive found a high school that will accept me so Im attending a different school from the school for the young ladies

Ishigami Mizuki said, but

No, if you talk to Misuzus school, theyll accept you

In fact, Agnes just got enrolled recently.

Besides, Ishigami-san is a daughter of nobility so they should be able to accommodate you a certain extent

The school for the young ladies is run by Jii-chan and Kaan to protect the daughters of the nobility.

Thats, uhm

Kurose Anju-san speaks.

Mizuki-sama might find it difficult to blend in with the class since everyones been attending since kindergarten

Anju, that was unnecessary

Oh, I get it now.

Ishigami Mizuki has a bit of a high-handed and limelight-hungry personality.

If she were to enroll into the school for the young ladies, where daughters of nobility attend, and a community of girls has formed

She worries that she might be the one get left behind.

And so, she went to a different school.

Kurose-sans going to the same school?

I asked.

No, Im no longer going to attend school

Huh, why?

Shes a bodyguard though?

Im not old enough yet to attend high schools in Japan

Anju skipped middle school in Switzerland and shes completed the compulsory education in Switzerland

Ishigami Mizuki looked at her bodyguard and said.

Shes just a year younger than me. But since she cant stay with me all the time in the Switzerland boarding school if were in a different grade. I had Anju study hard and have her enroll in the same class as me, which is a grade higher

Huh, Ishigami Mizuki just ordered Kurose-san to skip a grade?

And so, we finished our middle school in Switzerland together

But, there are no skipping grades in Japan, so I wont be able to attend high-school until next spring

I see, but in such cases, you graduated in middle school there, if you have no choice, then how about going to Japans middle school even if its just for six months?

Nei asks.

If I go to high school and Anju goes to middle school, who will be my bodyguard?!

Thats why Im waiting in front of Mizuki-samas school every day from morning until evening

Kurose-san said.

This is just absurd.

I mean, Ishigami Mizukis too self-centered.

Well, lets leave that alone for now

Are there any other daughters of nobility like Ishigami-san who goes to other schools?

I think theres only one or two apart from me

I knew it.

Going to that school is a status.

So, usually, the nobility sends their daughter to that school.

That was an oversight, not checking the existence of girls who attend a different school from Misuzu and the girls

Edies right.

The enemy used that oversight.

What about Mizukis school?

Mizukis brother, Ishigami Norio asks me in displeasure.

Well, I just confirmed it now. The bad guys used you to pinpoint us

I said.

I greeted all the girls who goes to Misuzus school. Besides, Misuzu, Ruriko, and Kaan Momoko-neechan are usually careful to maintain a good relationship with the daughters of nobility

Those who were at the garden party at the Kouzuki mansion had accepted my relationship with Misuzu.

Weve gone through the right procedure.

Jii-chan, the head of the Kouzuki house accepted me.

And my relationship with Misuzu is public.

Therefore, even if you had a complaint about Motoko, the ladies in that school wont come to me to complain. If they want to say something, theyll go to Misuzu

I mean, unlike the Ishigami siblings.

Im not from the nobility, but nobody among them thinks that they can order me around like a subordinate.

Im sure that Koda told you that Id just follow any orders as long as you give me a hard order without explaining, but

You dont know Yo-chan, thats why you believed what you were told1

The enemy chose you to come here because you never met Darling

Nei and Edie said.

W-What does that mean?

Thats right, what is it that we dont know about you?

The Ishigami siblings looked at me.

You dont know me, and thats why you just came here following Kodas plans

I sighed.

We dont know you well either thats why we were skeptical about a lot of things

Kodas told you to bring that taser gun you have, right?

Edie points out.

T-Thats indeed the case

Ishigami Norio holds the taser on his armpit and said.

Have they told you to use that without hesitation in case we raged?

Ugh, Koda also said that

I knew it.

Hey, explain whats going on

What was Kodas plan on us?

The Ishigami siblings dont understand whats going on it seems

Koda, or should I say that its the people backing Koda who made the plans, but

I speak to the dumb son of noble.

The plan is for you to come here and create a fuss

Speaking of which, he was definitely fanning the flames

And so, if either you, or darling, or both, get hurt badly in the commotion, or accidentally die, then, it will develop to a major incident

Well, thats how it shouldve been.

They didnt expect Edie to knock him down that quickly. He brought nearly a dozen minions with them so I think they figured that those men can control the mess at their own pace

It was close.

We averted the worst situation by crushing Koda quickly, he was the head and the rest got scared by Edies strength.

I dont get it at all. What is it about?

Thats right, explain it properly

Oh, these siblings.

It means that the objective was to lower Yo-chans reputation!

Nei said.

You two were just pawns for that purpose

Ishigami-san came over to the school to ask Yo-chan and yet, for some whatever reason, or even no reason at all, a violent incident happened, and Ishigami-san and others got injured or even killed as a result

Those people are going to put the blame on Darling

Edie said.

They will omit the details and tell rumors that Darlings a violent person and thats why you two got in so much trouble. People will believe the lies if they know the fact that you actually got injured

And for that to happen, theyre making us face-off Ishigami-san

I mean, it wont just be Ishigami-san wholl get injured. The enemys considering killing me off depending on the situation. Thats why they made you bring that stun gun

I think.

Maybe youll feel threatened enough that youll taser me

But I heard that people dont die from tasers?

Ishigami Norio said.

It was Koda who told you that, right?

Even stun guns can kill people once modded. Theres an example of that abroad

Edie and I replied.

Or maybe, using the taser to keep Darling immobile and use another method to finish him off

Even so, the fact that you shot Yo-chan will become a scandal! Thatll paint a picture where a son of a noble killed Yo-chan, right?

Thats what the enemy wants

That means

In the end, Ishigami-san was just forcefully involved in this incident. The enemy target was me from the start

You?

Why?

The Ishigami siblings.

Just like you two. Some dont find it amusing that I, who wasnt born in the nobility, became Misuzus partner, the daughter of the Kouzuki house

I explained.

People are disgusted by the fact that people like me are getting inside the Kouzuki house.

Thats why they want to tear me off from Jii-chan and Misuzu.

Even if it means killing me.

The enemys set a trap to eliminate me, or ruin my reputation that the Kouzuki house had no choice but to abandon me

Thats the case.

Also, its a good idea for them to go to a place that wont have Misuzu so she doesnt get harmed

Meaning, the enemy wants to attack Yo-chan, but they dont want to get the young lady of the Kouzuki house to get involved!

Then that means

The enemy is someone who knows from somewhere that Misuzu wont come to our school festival.

If the information is leaked, then

Wait a second, if the enemy is saying that theyre concerned with Misuzu-samas safety, why is it that theyre trying to harm Onii-sama and me?

Right, they dont care if the Ishigami siblings get injured or killed.

The people who could think that

Theres only one possibility.

I see it now

Our enemy is within the Kouzuki house.

They got the information that Misuzu and Ruriko wont come from the Kouzuki SS.

The biggest group whos bitter about me getting into the Kouzuki house are them

Shou-neechans probably noticed the problem inside the Kouzuki house beforehand.

Thats why she cant use the regular troops because thatll leak the information to the enemy.

Kudou-papa and his unit had to be deployed.

Shou-neechans as reliable as ever. She plans to check the holes in the organization using this opportunity.

The enemys able to get inside the Kouzuki SS.

Shes deliberately let them swim to remove the entire group.

Hey, what is it that you figured out

Thats right, let us know too

The Ishigami siblings tell me with a displeased face.

Well, it just means that were in a bad situation

Were in a predicament, whether we survive or not depends on the next moves

Edie smiled.

It doesnt matter if its you or me. They will attack in this school, and if anyones injured, or dies, the enemy wins

The enemys subordinates have blended in with the school festival visitors

Furthermore, our enemys already hinted the possibility of a bomb

Edie looked at Kurose Anju-san.

Earlier, you told us that you were carrying a bomb on your backpack, which was a fake

Ah, yes

Right, Kurose-san was already forced to use bomb terror as a tactic.

Well, Kurose-san actually wasnt carrying explosives, but still.

Those were Kodas instructions too, right?

Yes, thats right

Kurose-san replies.

That was an advance warning. The girl doesnt have the bomb, but he gave bombs to others to kill Darling and the people at the school fest.

Why do it in such a roundabout manner?

Ishigami Norio asks with a dumb face.

Its obviously to alert us to the explosives and make us use extra manpower

Kudou-papas definitely brought his subordinates, but

He has limits in his manpower.

Were in the middle of the school festival, and so we have students and guests watching.

Kudou-papas hidden crew cant move much.

With a limited number of people, they have to constantly monitor the school to make sure no explosives are secretly brought into the school.

Well, using explosives would be the last resort. I dont think they will detonate the bomb unless theyre sure they can blow up Yo-chan and Ishigami-san. Theres no point in injuring other people in an explosion and not the targets

Nei said.

The enemy doesnt want to do just regular massacre terrorism.

Im sure that they want to seize the power of the Kouzuki house themselves after kicking me out.

Im sure theyre avoiding anything that could prove fatal to them later on if possible.

Anyway, well send Ishigami-san off the school securely. Once you left the school and were apart, the enemy cant target you anymore

If they were to get injured while still in the middle of their visit, then that would be my responsibility.

But if were to send off the Ishigami siblings and were apart, I cant bear responsibility to that.

Our cars parked outside the schools main entrance

Contact your chauffeur, tell him to bring the car in front of our building

Ishigami Norio and Mizuki said.

Are you stupid? Your car is the most likely to be plastered with explosives!

You can have the car bought in front of the school building and theyll detonate it as soon as you get in.

Thatll definitely kill me since Im sending them off.

Koda was with you in that car, right? So, consider that theres enough possibility that hes done something to it

I-I see

Thats indeed a possibility

Please do something about these dumb siblings.

Well prepare a different car to send Ishigami-san off

I said.

Hey, Yoshi-kun, in that case,

Megu who had been quiet all this time, speaks up.

The room next to this one

Right, the room next to the reserve broadcast room is the principals office.

From there, you could go down to the hidden room in the basement and let Ishigami-san escape from the secret garage in the faculty parking lot.

Dont Megumi

Edie stopped Megu.

Our enemy is investigating the school. If they cant get Darling today, theyll use it for their next opportunity

The enemy is inside the Kouzuki house, so theyre planning long-term.

If you let the enemy discover the secrets of this school, itll become a problem later

The enemy knows that the Ishigami siblings entered this room.

And if the Ishgami siblings were to be seen exiting the faculty parking lot

Theyll figure out that we have hidden passageways here.

You both have phones, right?

Of course

I have it here too

This is the broadcast room so its blocked from radio waves. But, the enemy should be checking your location through GPS

The principals office and the hidden room in the basement and the secret passageway are all built to prevent any reception.

However, once they walk out of the hidden garage of the parking lot, theyll get through the reception.

Its troublesome to have the enemy know that its the exit to the hidden passage.

We need to leave the room as normal, and take Ishigami-san out of the school fairly and honestly

Going through students enjoying the school festival and visitors from the outside.

Thats a hard situation.

First, lets arrange the car

We cant use the cars from Kouzuki SS.

We need to consider that we have an enemy among the guards in the cars.

Our only choice is to rely on Kudou-papa.

Kudou-papa shouldve guessed the situation and is preparing the car already.

Yo-chan, call Minaho-oneechan

Nei said.

But, Minaho-neesan told me to deal with it myself

Right, Minaho-neesan.

Yoshi-kun. When youre in trouble, you should consult with them, isnt that a decision too?

Megu said.

Either way, were in a heavy situation so were going to need help

Edie added.

Right. I should ask for advice

I took the extension phone on the wall.

Since its Minaho-neesan, shes likely to be listening to our conversation from the start.

But still, Im going to use the telephone since the Ishigami siblings and Kurose-san is watching.

I heard it all. Ive made some arrangements

As soon as I press the phone to my ear, I hear Minaho-neesans voice.

Its common that you cant decide everything yourself

Minaho-neesan seems happy that I chose to consult with her.

The first support group just arrived

As soon as the Minaho-neesan said that.

I hear a knock on the door.

Edie, open it. Support has come

OK

Edie opened the door.

Hello!!!!!

What appears is Kinosh*ta Ryouko-san, wearing some school uniform from some random high school.

Shes one of the Banbarubie 3 before, someone who moves in the shadows.

Kinosh*ta-san is trustworthy.

Oh, Hello. That uniform suits you, Kinosh*ta-san

She sure has a baby face that she definitely looks like a high-school girl

Ahaha, youre making me blush

Kinosh*ta-san smiles.

However, her arm is holding her usual explosive flail.
