Hehe. Just the two of us in the room~? - 28

Despite a minor mishap with Nagisa, I managed to get the introduction.

'She says it was a joke... Hmm... I guess I should believe her?'

Nagisa-chan is busy in many ways, so it can't be helped, but I'm worried she's acting a bit strange lately.

"..."

'If I walk a little further from here, it's the plaza. We were supposed to meet there, right?'

The meeting time was approaching, and keeping someone waiting isn't my style, so I decided to run quickly.

"...?"

However, the scene that greeted me when I arrived at the plaza caused my brain to momentarily stop functioning.

"....??????"

'W-What is that....??'

There were many people in the plaza, and she was wearing a swimsuit?!

Her body was accentuated by the tight-fitting swimsuit... Ugh?!

"...!!!"

'W-What are you doing?!'

"Oh, Seia-sama, you've arrived? I heard from Nagisa-sama that you were looking for me. Hehe, I'm Urawa Hanako~"

"....!!! ....!!!"

'That's not the point right now!! What, what are you doing?!'

Why is she wearing a swimsuit in the middle of the plaza?!

Was she planning to go to the swimming pool? I thought she was supposed to meet me?

Or is it exhibitionism? Does she have that kind of fetish?!

"Fufu? Seia-sama? Why do you look so surprised?"

"...!!!"

'D-Don't you know why?!'

"Hmm~ I see. You're surprised by my outfit, too, Seia-sama? I thought I was quite famous in Trinity~"

'So you do know...'

Come to think of it, isn't this girl supposed to be the intellectual of Trinity...?

No matter how you look at it, her outfit doesn't even meet the standards of a normal person...

As that thought crossed my mind, Hanako, feeling a bit guilty, opened her mouth.

"I already know that you can't speak, Seia-sama. Trying to communicate here will only draw attention, so how about we go to a cafe?"

"...?"

'A cafe? Do we really need to go to a cafe?'

"...Why do you look like that? Or do you have another good place in mind?"

Honestly, her outfit is what it is... and I don't really want to reveal that I can't speak in front of people.

If rumors spread that a Trinity Tea Party executive can't speak, it's sure to become quite troublesome.

So, I chose my room. No one would usually come in.

Grab!-

"...Seia-sama?"

It'll be troublesome if I try to explain with my body, so I'll just grab her and drag her to my room!

"S-Seia-sama? Hehe... You're more proactive than I thought?"

"...!!"

'W-What are you saying?!'

"Most of the Tea Party are big fans of yours, and as expected... to act like that with such a cute appearance~!"

"....!!!!!"

'Ugh?! Be quiet!'

Ignoring Hanako, who kept saying strange things, I dragged her to my room.

Slide- Click!-

'We can talk here while having some tea!'

"...Seia-sama?"

Tilt-

"Don't tell me... this is the conversation place...?"

Nod, nod-

"..... As expected, bringing me to a room where we're alone. Are you planning to ■■-"

"....???!!!??"

'W-What...! What are you saying?!?!'

Smack!-

For the first time in my life, I threw a punch. And it was aimed at Hanako's head.

"Wow, cute. To be alone with someone like this... I'm looking forward to it?"

"....!!!!!"

* * *

"So... you're looking for a way to get your voice back?"

"..."

Nod, nod-

Maybe her personality isn't usually like this?

The conversation topic was quite heavy and serious, and Hanako, quickly grasping the situation, adopted a serious tone.

"Hmm... Suddenly losing your voice... It's like a princess from a fairy tale."

'Mika-chan is the princess, though...?'

"Hmm... I'm sorry. I can say that I excel in knowledge, but I don't know much about such supernatural phenomena."

"..."

'I guess that's true...'

"Fufu, but there's no need to be discouraged. I know someone who's smarter than me in this field~"

'Smarter person?'

"I heard there's a Super Phenomenon Task Force in Millennium. A person named Himari would probably know more about this kind of situation."

"...!"

That one sentence blew away my thoughts of giving up.

That's a relief. Just knowing there's a possibility makes me feel hopeful.

"But Seia-sama... You didn't really think that anything would happen when you brought me into this room alone with you, did you? Fufu."

"....???!"

'Y-You...! What are you planning to do...!'

"There's no need to worry~ We just need to press our bellies together and enjoy ■■ while ■■ing~"

"...!!!"

'H-Hiee!?'

Ugh?! I think I picked the wrong person!

Damn it, Nagisa-chan! Introducing me to someone like this!! Were you planning to assassinate me?!

"Now, now, you'll feel good soon-"

Crash!!-

"Ahaha☆ What are you doing?"

"...?!!!"

'M-Mika?!'

"Eh...?!"

Just as Hanako was about to approach me, Mika, who I didn't know where she was, flew in, smashing through the wall.

"I'm glad I listened to Nagisa-chan☆ Yep, yep. I almost failed to protect Seia-chan."

"H-How... Don't tell me, from the beginning?!"

"Ahaha~! You seem quite flustered, huh? Yeah?"

"..."

Mika's eyes were filled with killing intent. A bit too scary...

"Then, you'll have to pay for your sins, right?"

"I'm sorry... But I guess you won't forgive me even if I say that?"

"Of course not☆"

Mika said that and dragged Hanako somewhere, leaving me alone in the room.

'Ah... my room...'

With one wall completely smashed, no less.

Still, I managed to protect my innocence, so that's a relief... maybe?

Perhaps it's a relief...?
