Sensei is a Problem Child but the Strongest (2) - 31

Yurizono Seia.

A girl known as the prophet of Trinity.

A member of the Tea Party and the original host. However, she met her death in an unexpected attack...... and Nagisa took her place.

Seia's death came as a great shock to Nagisa, and it became a fear. With the death of her friend Seia, Nagisa was convinced that she was next. And after that, she was sure that Mika would be left alone.

Therefore... in order to find the culprit who killed Seia, and to protect her own life and her precious friend Mika, Nagisa lived suspecting everyone except Mika.

Nagisa was worried so much that she had more than 10 hidden personal hideouts. At least the current host was herself, and Mika was strong in her own right, so she thought Mika would be safe until she herself was attacked.

And, to catch the culprit... Nagisa asked for help from Sensei, whom she was sure was not the culprit. The Seia murder case happened before Sensei came, so he couldn't be the culprit.

That's why she asked for Sensei's help to find the real culprit among the ones she had narrowed down.

Today, Sensei was supposed to come...

"S-Seia-san is... alive? No, gu-gun kata......?"

The important thing right now wasn't Sensei.

Seia is alive. And the shocking story is that she took down the deliquents with Gun Kata. Nagisa, who received the report, choked on her tea, and her clothes got wet. And Mika, who was listening to the report next to her, immediately jumped outside.

Not through the door, but over the railing.

"...For now, let's wait. We must not act rashly. Seia-san using Gun Kata is absolutely impossible. Seia-san is inherently weak... Then, that's..."

Nagisa puts down her teacup and calms down as much as possible, making a rational judgment.

It wasn't Seia, it was Sensei.

Otherwise, there's no way that Seia could use Gun Kata.

But... nevertheless, Nagisa held onto a glimmer of hope. That Seia was just safe. That she had become stronger for some reason.

She had already rationally deduced the truth... but still, she couldn't let go of the thread of hope, hoping that her precious friend was alive.

For now, she decides to wait for Mika to bring her back and change her tea-soaked clothes.

At that moment... the first floor of the Tea Party building.

"Seia-chan... right? You are, right?"

"You are, Mika?"

"It's Seia-chan... There's no way Seia-chan could be that strong, but it's Seia-chan, right... right? Right?!"

Unlike Nagisa's thoughts, Mika, who was even more mentally driven and pushed to the limit than Nagisa.

She brought Sensei into the drawing-room, looked down while holding Sensei's shoulders and asked.

"Um... Mika?"

"You were alive... you were alive? Why, why did Azusa lie... You were alive. You're alive like this! I'm sorry, I'm sorry Seia-chan... Because of me, Seia-chan almost died..."

"Uh... M-Mika?"

"I'm, I'm sorry Seia-chan..."

Mika hugged Sensei and sobbed, and began to talk about each of her mistakes.

About 30 minutes later... Mika stopped crying and sniffled. Sensei hugged and comforted Mika...

"Hehe... You weren't Seia-chan after all."

"I don't lie."

"...That's right. I just confessed all my wrongdoings to Sensei. Then, Seia-chan really is..."

Sensei revealed his identity. Mika let out a hollow laugh and felt empty. She was happy and sorry at the same time that her friend had died because of her mistakes had returned, but rather, her guilt had grown even bigger.

Sensei heard all of Mika's plans and mistakes.

Mika looked at Sensei, and she felt like it was better this way. Since the highest authority, Sensei, was in front of her, she thought it would be better to be arrested here and pay for her crimes... With her strength, she could easily overpower Sensei and just run away.

But maybe it was because she looked like Seia... she was prepared to accept any punishment she gave.

Sensei closed his eyes for a moment, and after a few seconds, he opened his eyes and said to Mika.

"I won't punish you for your crimes now."

"...Why? I'm a murderer, you know?"

"Even though you didn't do it directly, you call yourself a murderer. You're a good person, Mika. There's a reason to watch you more. It's just a feeling, but it's not the time to punish you yet."

"Ah... Now, are you going to torment me with neglect? If Seia-chan says so, I'll have to accept it... even though you're Sensei."

"That's not what I meant, Mika. I just feel like you still have a chance. It's just a simple feeling."

Sensei felt it. For some reason... a feeling that it wasn't time yet. Although Seia was said to be dead, it was a truth that felt somewhat unsettling. Her intuition was telling her that for some reason.

"For now, let's keep this a secret, Mika. So, please help me for now."

"...Tomorrow, you'll be in a different form, right, Sensei?"

"That's right."

"...Then, can you stay with me for just today?"

"Hmm, sure. First, I'd like to meet with Nagisa, who called me here, though?"

"Okay... The details, are for later."

Mika let go of Sensei, and when they came out of the drawing-room, she put on a bright smile and took Sensei to the Tea Party room.

And so, Sensei arrived at the Tea Party. Nagisa was waiting in the room.

"...Welcome, Sensei."

"You recognize me, how nice."

"I believe I've already heard the gist of the situation from Mika-san."

"I see... Nice to meet you, Nagisa. I'm Sensei from Schale."

'Nice to meet you, Nagisa. I'm Yurizono Seia.'

"...Nice to meet you."

Recalling her first meeting with Seia in the past, Nagisa shook Sensei's hand with a bitter heart.

"Nagisa-chan~ Then, shall we get to the point?"

"More importantly... I'd prefer a different drink than vegetable juice."

"V-Vegetable juice? Where did that come from..."

"In Millennium, ketchup and pizza are vegetables, so tea is also vegetable juice."

"Pfft!"

Mika burst out laughing at the mention of tea being vegetable juice.

"Kuhaha.... Then, is Nagisa-chan addicted to vegetable juice~?"

"Mika-san......"

"In that sense, I'll have strawberry milk."

"......I understand."

Nagisa calls her aide to bring milk. Seia received strawberry milk from a convenience store. Still, she poured it into a teacup elegantly.

"Excuse me, Mika-san?"

"What is it~? Nagisa-chan."

"First of all, aren't you a little too close to Sensei?"

Mika was hugging Sensei on her lap. Sensei drank the strawberry milk without caring.

"What's wrong with that~? He looks like Seia-chan~ Can't I enjoy it a little?"

"............"

"Or, do you want a hug too, Nagisa-chan?"

"B-But his original gender is male..."

"But he's a girl now, right?"

"It's fine, Nagisa. Anyway... I've long since lost my masculinity."

"That's a little sad, I guess."

Sensei's expression was like that of a neutered puppy. Seeing Sensei like that, Nagisa felt a little sorry for him... and maybe it was because he looked like Seia, but Nagisa also found it difficult to ask anything of Sensei right now. The dirty job of catching the traitor, under the guise of being the Supplementary Lessons Department's teacher...

She couldn't ask her to do that now.

"I guess it's fine, then."

At least for now... She wanted to spend a little time with her precious friend, even if it was a lie, someone she could no longer meet.

Of course...

"What on earth is going on? Seia-san was sleeping here......?"

Mine, the head of the Remedial Knights, couldn't hide her confusion as she was protecting Seia. And...

"That's definitely the technique of the legendary Justina Saints, Gun Kata. I can't believe that Seia-san, who was thought to be dead, came back and is using it... Could this be a miracle?"

Sakurako, the head of the Sisterhood, was convinced that she had died. However, seeing Seia seemingly return to life and using the technique of the Saints (which she wasn't, of course), Sakurako wondered if it was a miracle of God... and if Seia was the saint of this era, like the legendary Saint Barbara.

Moreover...

{The splendid return of Trinity's former host, Yurizono Seia!}

{Her splendid return! The frail student council president who even defeated the deliquents!?}

Thanks to Kronos, the news of Seia's revival spread throughout Kivotos.

Nagisa and Mika enjoyed their time with Seia, as if they were really spending time with her... and they didn't care about that reality. It was that sweet of a dream.

The next day, Supplementary Lessons Department.

Hifumi, who was now the head of the department, gathered the members of the Supplementary Lessons Department and waited for Sensei, who had become their advisor.

"Why is an elite like me here..."

"An elite, huh. I see. If I had held out a little longer, I wouldn't have been caught and brought here either."

"Auuuu... Fighting is bad."

"Everyone is so unique~"

The four members of the Supplementary Lessons Department were waiting for Sensei... and a few minutes later, the classroom door opened.

"Hmm! Everyone was waiting!"

"Wh-What the... C-Could that person be, Sensei!?"

"That's right! Nice to meet you, everyone. I'm Sensei from Schale, the acting president of the General Student Council, the head of the SRT Special Academy, and the advisor to the Abydos Countermeasures Committee... I'm Sensei!"
