The most harmless girl in the world - 38

"Hello?"

"...?"

'What do you mean, hello? Are you kidding me...?'

I'm currently on the phone with Nagisa.

'But she doesn't usually call me...'

Since she knows I can't talk, most people use text messages when contacting me.

But a phone call? And Nagisa, who knows this fact well? Just how urgent is this matter?

As those thoughts crossed my mind, I picked up the phone that was ringing on my cell phone.

"Hello? Can you hear me?"

"...!!"

'What do you mean, hello?! Are you teasing me?!!'

Usually, 'hello' is a way to check if the other person's voice is audible, and it's also a kind of greeting.

I can't answer anyway, so why is she asking? Is she just teasing me?

"Hehe. I tried Mika-san's favorite icebreaker."

"....."

...If Nagisa were in front of me, I might have glared at her with a murderous expression.

"I've rambled on a bit, haven't I? It's quite important, so to get to the point... Mika-san is currently heading to Gehenna. It seems she lost it when she heard that Seia-san was there..."

"...?!"

Mika is coming to Gehenna right now...?!

What Mika will do when she gets to Gehenna...

Is she planning to start a war? It would be solved if I just went out...

"It seems like it could be resolved peacefully if Seia-san just comes out... but I don't know how Gehenna will react."

"..."

'As Nagisa said, there's no way Hina will let me go.'

"We'll try our best to prevent a war on our end. Please don't get hurt and send Mika-san back. Please."

Hina is even hugging me while sleeping in bed.

Fortunately, my cell phone was within reach, but I can't move my body like this...

I guess I'll have to wake Hina up first and then go out.

Shake, shake-

"Hmm... why...?"

When I shook my body, Hina woke up, rubbing her eyes, probably because she was tired. Since she can't hear me even if I speak, I decided to use a quick and easy method.

Click-

-Hello?

Play the recording of my call with Nagisa right away!

This way, I don't have to explain, and I can save time!

"...Let's go."

After quickly judging the contents of the call, Hina ordered the Prefect Team to mobilize and went outside.

'Being the head of the Prefect Team isn't an easy position...'

Thinking that, I quickly followed Hina.

* * *

"Hey, hey! Can you open the door? Huh? If you open it now, I won't do anything?"

"I can't. The leadership has issued a notice to block all outsiders."

"If you open it now, I won't fight☆ I came to resolve this through dialogue~!"

"... I'm sorry. No matter if you are from the Tea Party, I can't disobey the orders of the Prefect Team's head."

"..."

Mika's expression instantly hardened at the Prefect Team member's words.

At this rate, the Eden Treaty incident may be unavoidable. Perhaps, a war might break out even before the Eden Treaty.

At the critical moment, a familiar voice reached Mika's ears.

"Misono Mika, the current host of the Tea Party. What is this?"

"Ahaha... you're here? The horned one who took our Seia-chan away."

"It wasn't taking, it was a visit by mutual agreement. It's not me who's trying to take her, it's you."

"....."

Mika, who had been completely defeated in the logic battle. Hina smiled faintly at Mika and continued.

"You didn't come here to have this kind of pointless conversation. You had something you wanted to do, didn't you?"

"Ahaha... Are you afraid of war before the Eden Treaty? How funny!"

"Yes. From now on, this is not a matter between Gehenna and Trinity, but a personal matter between Sorasaki Hina and Misono Mika. This will be easier for you too, right?"

"Of course☆ It's what I wanted~"

"Then let's begin."

With those words, fire spewed from both of their guns.

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

Dududududududududung!!!-

* * *

Perhaps because Hina and Mika's fighting styles are completely different? Watching their fight was quite entertaining.

Dudududududududududududung!!!!-

Hina fires a barrage of bullets at Mika.

Crash!- Clang!!!-

Mika uses cover or runs randomly to avoid the attacks.

Dudududududung!!- Click!-

"...!!"

"It's my chance☆"

When Hina's bullets run out, while she's reloading, Mika's turn begins.

Tat-tat-tat-tat!!- Crash!!-

"Ugh?!"

She fires short, quick bursts at Hina. It doesn't matter if they all don't hit. Since Mika's bullets explode in the end, hitting even one is enough to disrupt her posture.

"Ahaha!! I prefer close-range combat over mid-range~!"

With those words, Mika rushes towards Hina. As if not giving her a chance to reload, she starts swinging her gun at close range.

Whoosh!- Clang!!-

The first attack is avoided, and the second attack is blocked by raising her gun as well.

Smack!!-

Judging that fighting Mika at close range would be disadvantageous, Hina kicks Mika and retreats backward.

"Sorry. I don't like it too close."

"Heeh... What a shame☆ I guess we won't get along~!"

"Were you even thinking of getting along?"

"Ahaha☆ As if I'd get along with a horned one from Gehenna~!"

"... I didn't expect it either."

The conversation ends here. It was as if those words could be heard.

Just as they were about to resume the fight, a yellow-haired fox girl ran into their field of vision.

"...?!"

"Seia-chan?"

The girl ran between them, flailing her arms as if telling them not to fight.

But, with her ears and tail tucked in fear, Seia appeared harmless...

"Haa..."

"Ahaha..."

Easier than expected, they immediately lost their will to fight.
