Seia's translator, Nagisa-chan! - 24

Black suit. Who is he?

An explorer and an enigmatic being. A researcher and one who desires to witness the unraveling of mysteries.

For the first time, he saw an outsider among the students.

He had seen other members of Gematria and the Sensei, but they were outsiders and didn't have halos.

But the being standing before him now, Yurizono Seia, is different.

She is a being who can contain mystery, fear, and a halo all at once.

"..."

However, he doesn't understand why she won't speak.

"Seia-san. Are you not planning to have a conversation with me?"

"..."

"Heh heh... I see. I suppose I didn't expect you to open up easily. In that case, let's make a deal."

Seia tilts her head at the mention of a deal. Is this what it takes to make her want to respond?

'Indeed... she's not an easy opponent.'

Black suit decided to reveal information he had originally planned to use as a trump card when dealing with Hoshino.

"Alright, Seia-san. I was originally going to use this condition for Hoshino-san... but I might as well use it now."

Saying this, black suit takes out some unknown object.

However, Seia's expression doesn't even twitch.

"As a member of the Tea Party, I believe you understand the value of this item. I'll even throw in Hoshino-san's location as a bonus."

"..."

Of course, Seia's mouth doesn't move either.

"...Why is that?"

Why? Why is she refusing so strongly?

It's just a conversation, and it's a deal that clearly benefits Seia overwhelmingly.

Black suit couldn't understand at all.

"Why on earth..."

What could possibly make her act this way? Perhaps black suit would never be able to imagine it.

Yurizono Seia. She is mute.

"..."

'What was that...?'

I was chased out without being able to do or say anything.

He said he wanted to talk, so I thought he'd give me a piece of paper or something...

Then he started misunderstanding things on his own, rambling and raising the terms of the deal, and when I just stood there quietly because something felt off, he suddenly said he lost and revealed Hoshino's location before letting me go.

'Hmm... I guess it turned out well?'

I don't know what happened, but it seems to have been resolved well.

"Seia. Did you really get it?"

Nod-

"I feel a bit bad for making Seia-chan do my job..."

"Wow, you're still amazing, though. I guess you didn't become the Tea Party host for nothing."

"..."

I didn't do anything...

'No, I am amazing! I'm the Tea Party host, after all!'

Thinking that, I took Sensei and Ichika's hands to return to Abydos.

"...Hey, Ichika. Do Seia's ears always move like that?"

"I don't know for sure, either. According to Mika-sama, they move whenever she's in a good mood..."

"Ah..."

"..."

'Can you please not say that where I can hear...!'

There's no need to describe such detailed things!

"Wow, Seia-chan must be embarrassed. She's covering her ears with her hands."

"Yes. She's definitely cute."

"...!!!"

'Stop it...!!'

With that, Sensei and Ichika teased me as we headed to Hoshino's location.

Kaiser PMC was a place of considerable authority.

They had a private army, a decent number of employees, and the occupation of Abydos' land was proceeding smoothly.

Yes, at this rate, taking over the entirety of Abydos wouldn't be a problem!

"It should have been...! What on earth is...!"

Through black suit, they had even brought the Abydos Student Council Vice President, and all that was left was to invade Abydos High School...

Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tang!!-

Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tang!!!-

Boom!!- Boooooom!!-

Suddenly, Trinity attacked the PMC.

And it was Trinity's highest authority, the Tea Party and the Justice Task Force, no less.

"Why would a major academy suddenly...!"

Director Park Min-cheol couldn't understand the current situation.

It was already incomprehensible that the Tea Party would come, but for all three top executives of the Tea Party to descend was baffling.

"Ahaha☆ Isn't this nothing? You were acting all tough, so I thought you'd be super strong!"

"I agree. It seems Seia-sama overinvested her forces."

Nod-

"Yes. Commence bombardment."

Apparently, the yellow fox girl nodding in the back is the commander, and if they can capture her, the chain of command will collapse.

Having made that judgment, Park Min-chul ordered an attack on Seia.

"Target that person-"

Whoosh!!-

Boom!!!- Boooooom!!!-

"...?!!"

But before the attack order could be carried out, Kaiser PMC's Otamatas were destroyed.

"Self-propelled artillery..?!"

It was the artillery fire from Trinity's self-propelled guns, ordered by Nagisa.

Before Sensei could even take action, the Kaiser PMC forces, prepared to face only four Abydos students, were helplessly crushed.

In the end, all forces were completely defeated, leaving only Kaiser Director, Park Min-chul, remaining on the scene.

"...No way...!"

Just as he began to deny the unreasonable reality unfolding before his eyes, Yurizono Seia, the culprit of all this, stood before him.

Gesture-

"...?"

Seia made a hand gesture with a serious expression. What did she want him to do?

"Ah, Seia-san's expression means 'Hand over Hoshino, Park Min-chul.'"

"...How did you interpret that?!!"
