Abydos of a Midsummer Night (6) - 10

Ogata Kanna

 

 

The Valkyrie Public Security Bureau Chief, known as the Mad Dog.

 

 

Originally, she wanted to join the Community Safety Bureau, but due to her peculiar life, children were afraid of her, forcing her to enter the Public Security Bureau and eventually being promoted to Bureau Chief.

 

 

A veteran police officer skilled in interrogating criminals.

 

 

And now...

 

 

"How did this happen?"

 

 

Sensei is now a student who has transformed. Now, he has even become a police officer. He should be used to it now, but perhaps due to Kanna's influence, being one of the few people with common sense in Kivotos, Sensei sighed.

 

 

Deep down, Sensei lamented this new physique. It was probably Kanna's influence.

 

 

Sensei scratched his head at the school gate while heading to Abydos High School for work. Today, just thinking about chasing Kaiser Corporation's loan sharks today made his head hurt.

 

 

Until yesterday, he had a GTA-style mindset of robbing a bank, but today, he felt a pang of conscience. Still, he thought, "It's for the kids..." and entered the classroom.

 

 

"Ah, good morning, Sensei."

 

 

Ayane, who arrived first, was startled for a moment but smiled and greeted Sensei upon seeing the name tag.

 

 

"Good morning."

 

 

"I'll get you something to drink. What would you like?"

 

 

"...Coffee."

 

 

"Okay, coffee it is."

 

 

Ayane made coffee for Sensei. It was just instant coffee, though. While Ayane was making coffee, Serika, Nonomi, and Hoshino also arrived early.

 

 

Excluding Shiroko, who took a detour for her ride, the four of them were at school. It was still early, so Shiroko wouldn't be late.

 

 

"Huh...... That appearance."

 

 

As expected of a Nephthys girl, Nonomi recognized Kanna even in Abydos. Hoshino, the vice president of the student council, also recognized Kanna's face.

 

 

"Here's your coffee."

 

 

"Thank you."

 

 

Taking the coffee from Ayane, Sensei sat down and took off her jacket.

 

 

 

 

Visible even through the clothes, her figure was even more daring once she took off her jacket. Ayane was surprised, and Serika clicked her tongue, looking down at her own chest. Hoshino stared at Sensei's chest, then at Nonomi, and Nonomi, feeling Hoshino's gaze, took out her minigun.

 

Shiroko comes in right after. With everyone gathered, they discussed today's plan.

 

 

"First... let's steal Kaiser Corporation's ledger."

 

 

"Steal it...? Is... is that okay?"

 

 

"My conscience is bothering me too, but Kaiser was the one who did wrong first. This is also a form of self-defense."

 

 

Sensei spoke while sipping her coffee. Ayane worried if it was ethically okay, but Shiroko had already pulled out her mask and was ready. Of course, it was too early, so Serika took the mask away.

 

 

"Yeah, in conclusion, we're going to rob a bank."

 

 

"Uhehe~ Can't be helped, huh?"

 

 

"Definitely, if it's that kind of request, the related ledger must be at the bank. Let's all rob a bank! Shall we decide on a team name like that~?"

 

 

"That's not the point, Nonomi-senpai!?"

 

 

"Haha... Anyway, Kaiser Corporation will be here soon. Let's all get ready."

 

 

At Ayane's words, Serika, as the representative, held the money bag containing the interest and waited at the school gate. Soon, Kaiser Corporation's car arrived. An employee got out, greeted them, and took the money.

 

 

Kaiser Corporation's car drove away. The group followed at a distance.

 

 

"But is this okay? If you get caught, Sensei, you'll be in big trouble."

 

 

"...I shouldn't say this in this form, but I'll say it. If I don't get caught, it's not a crime."

 

 

"Is that ethically okay, Sensei!?"

 

 

"Somehow, my conscience is bothering me..."

 

 

Since Kanna was such a sensible and good-natured person despite her appearance, Sensei's conscience started hurting.

 

 

Later, seeing Kaiser Corporation entering the black market, the group decided that further pursuit was pointless. Kaiser Corporation was also in the black market. The reason for moving money to a farther black market instead of Gehenna was one thing: to do something bad with that money.

 

 

Serika was enraged by this, but Hoshino stopped her, and they decided to enter the black market.

 

 

As long as they didn't get caught by Kaiser Corporation employees, no one in the black market would recognize the Abydos students. Sensei also removed the Valkyrie armband from her jacket and went inside.

 

 

And...

 

 

"It's quieter than I thought. For a lawless area, I mean."

 

 

"Uhehe... It doesn't seem like that, though~?"

 

 

Sensei entered without hiding her identity. The black market merchants recognized Kanna's face and stayed as quiet as possible. There were no laws here, but it was best not to mess with the Valkyrie's Mad Dog.

 

 

They walked around the black market looking for the bank without any trouble... They saw a commotion in the distance.

 

 

"P-Please let me go...!"

 

 

"I'll let you go if you pay the toll~? If you're a Trinity girl, just give me 100,000 yen~"

 

 

"We don't have travel money~ It's not that much, right? Not in Trinity."

 

 

Extortion was happening in an alley of the black market. Three delinquents were surrounding a Trinity student, trying to extort money. The girl looked terrified. Just as Shiroko was about to step in.

 

 

Bang!

 

 

 

 

"Ouch! Who was that! Which bitch shot...?"

 

 

"Let her go, and get lost."

 

 

 

 

"M-Mad Dog..."

 

 

"Hey, sparrow! Run!"

 

 

The delinquents ran away upon seeing Sensei's face. He didn't chase after them because he had things to do.

 

 

"Are you okay?"

 

 

"Waaah... H-How much will it be...?"

 

 

"No, I'm not extorting you."

 

 

The girl who was being extorted, Ajitani Hifumi, didn't know Kanna's face and thought another thug was extorting her.

 

 

After that, Sensei bought Hifumi some fish-shaped pastries on the street and cleared up the misunderstanding.

 

 

"I see... Abydos is a school where people only learn about history. I knew it still existed, but only five students. And the debt... It's not easy."

 

 

"Well, that's why I'm here."

 

 

"A big company like Kaiser, doing that to a school... Why isn't the General Student Council doing anything?"

 

 

"...Abydos' downfall was a natural disaster. Even if the debt is paid, nothing will change unless the environment changes. That's probably their judgment."

 

 

"Ah... I guess I understand. But is that ethically right..."

 

 

"It would be nice if the world worked like that."

 

 

Hifumi felt sorry for Abydos after hearing about their situation. The reason the General Student Council didn't help, even if she told her close friend Nagisa about it, there was a high chance she wouldn't help either.

 

 

"That's just how the world is, Hifumi. You have to act according to cost-benefit analysis to avoid losses. If the world spoon-feeds you everything, why would you make an effort?"

 

 

"I see..."

 

 

"But, Hifumi... Do you know something?"

 

 

"Yes?"

 

 

"You know too much."

 

 

"Eh..."

 

 

Sensei slowly, slowly approached Hifumi.

 

 

"Put on the bag, Hifumi."

 

 

"Eh..."

 

 

"Now, you're an accomplice too."

 

 

"Ehhhh!?"

 

 

Sensei poked a hole in the fish-shaped pastry bag and put it on Hifumi's head. Then she put on a clown mask she had bought on the way.

 

 

And so... Hifumi was dragged along against her will.

 

 

At that moment... in the black market bank, Aru was having extreme thoughts after being rejected for a loan consultation...

 

 

"FBI! OPEN UP!!!"

 

 

Crash!!!

 

 

Sensei and the swimsuit mask gang burst through the glass door, barely breaking it.

 

 

"W-What is this!?"

 

 

Aru was flustered as the situation turned chaotic in an instant due to the group. Sensei went inside and threatened the employee to get the bag... It was filled with about 100 million yen, and the ledger seemed like an afterthought.

 

 

"Hmm, this is it... Wait, this isn't it?"

 

 

He smiled satisfactorily upon receiving the bag, but then he realized the main objective wasn't the money and panicked... Guards were closing in, so he had no choice. He ran away with the money bag.

 

 

And just like that, in an instant, they robbed the black market bank.

 

 

"Haah... What should I do with this."

 

 

Sensei sighed, looking at the money bag... He took out the ledger and looked down at the bag... In the distance, he saw Aru running towards him.

 

 

"Hey! You!"

 

 

"Huh!?"

 

 

"Donations!"

 

 

Sensei throws the money bag to Aru with a feeling of not knowing what to do, then leaves the place with the group. For some reason, his heart ached.

 

 

And...

 

 

"Isn't that the Public Security Bureau Chief's clothes?"

 

 

"And the halo, too..."

 

 

It didn't take long for rumors to spread that the Public Security Bureau Chief had robbed a bank. But that's another story...
