...What kind of school is Abydos? - 43

'I wonder if Mika managed to resolve things...'

I'm currently with Nagisa at the Eden Treaty site.

To be precise, it's the waiting room before the treaty begins, but that's not really important.

I entrusted Mika with stopping the missile I saw in my dream. Even if she fails, I decided that it's more important to protect Nagisa by shielding her with my frail body, rather than letting her get hurt.

"..."

'I'm bored.'

It's definitely not because I'm bored being alone in Trinity that I followed her.

"Are you bored, Seia-san?"

"....."

'...I'm not bored.'

"It's written all over your face, you know? The Pandemonium Society from Gehenna will be here soon, so just wait."

Nod, nod-

I didn't like her speaking to me like she was soothing a child, but what can I do?

It's true that I was bored, even if it was embarrassing, so I nodded slightly and waited for the Pandemonium Society.

'I wonder what kind of people the Pandemonium Society are.'

I've seen the Prefect Team before. Hina's imposing presence and overwhelming power really showed what kind of place the Gehenna Prefect Team is.

And the Pandemonium Society is in an even higher position than the Prefect Team, right? Then, how impressive will they be...

While I was thinking that, Nagisa, who seemed to have read my expression, shook her head and said.

"...Seia-san. It's better not to have too high expectations for the Pandemonium Society."

"...?"

"The Pandemonium Society is... ah... no. It's better if you just see for yourself."

"....."

Nagisa's reaction seemed to indicate that it was difficult to explain in words.

I was tilting my head at Nagisa's reaction, but soon, the Pandemonium Society, whom we were waiting for, roughly opened the waiting room door and entered.

Creak!- Thud!!-

"Kihaha! We finally meet, Nagisa of the Trinity Tea Party! Is that Trinity's love doll?"

"Haa... Makoto-senpai? It's polite to call people by their names. Especially when you first meet them."

"....."

'A doll...'

Why am I called a love doll everywhere I go?

As soon as Makoto entered, my fantasy about the Pandemonium Society was shattered in an instant.

"Hanuma Makoto-san. It's nice to meet you. I'm Kirifuji Nagisa."

"Yes. It's nice to meet you in person. This is the first time we've met in person, isn't it? We've only communicated through letters."

"Hehe. That's right. This is our Trinity's faction leader, Yurizono Seia."

"The love doll had a name...?"

"Haa... Makoto-senpai....."

Iroha holding her head and Makoto with a genuinely surprised expression.

Unlike the Prefect Team, is the Pandemonium Society full of people like this?

While I was thinking that, a small girl with yellow hair approached me.

"Big sis! Can I touch your tail?"

"...?"

"Ibuki wants to touch your tail too! It looks fluffy!"

'...Cute.'

Thud-

At the sight of her cuteness, which made me smile just by looking at her, I gently offered my tail to Ibuki.

Stroke- Stroke-

"Wow!! Ehehe...! It's fluffy!"

"...?!!"

'Hyaa!?!'

As soon as I offered my tail, Ibuki immediately hugged it and started stroking it.

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

'Ugh?!! W-Wait a minute?!!'

Stroking my sensitive tail wasn't enough, she even hugged it...!

I seem to have underestimated the purity of a child.

'Ugh...?!! I-I need to get her off...'

If this continues, I might faint again...!

Having made that judgment, I tried to pull Ibuki, who was clinging tightly to my tail, away, but my strength was too weak.

Squeeze!!-

"This is nice... It's warm and fluffy..."

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

Seia's strength was not enough to even push Ibuki away.

It's a miraculous level of strength that makes one question whether she has a halo or not.

'I-It's impossible...'

Faced with this unfair reality, I eventually gave up.

"It's warm and nice! I want to keep stroking it!"

"....."

That's right. I'm a love doll.

"S-Seia-san?! You look like you've given up on everything?! Seia-san?!"

I'm a powerless, speechless love dolllll.....

"Seia-san??!"

"There was a place like this under Trinity..."

"Ahaha☆ Surprised? This place is a top-secret even within the Tea Party~"

"Uhe~ Is that so? But why are you telling us about such a place?"

Mika sent helicopters to Abydos to call Hoshino and Shiroko.

To Trinity's basement, which is a top-secret even within Trinity.

"I'm not an expert in kidnapping or confinement, you see☆ I heard Abydos is good at this kind of thing?"

"Yes. Kidnapping. My specialty."

"U-Uhe~ Shiroko-chan does have that side to her~"

While having these conversations, they arrived at the prison, and Mika opened the door to the cell where Squad was locked up.

"Ahaha☆ Here it is! I tied them up roughly, but can you help me? It seems like it will take a while for them to wake up!"

"You shouldn't tie them up like this. I'll show you."

"Uhe~ Whoever taught you did a great job~ This old man is impressed~"

Perhaps it was finally time to use her expertise.

Shiroko approached the fallen Squad with sparkling eyes, and Hoshino looked at Shiroko with a proud look.

'...What kind of school is Abydos?'

Mika suddenly had that thought for a moment.
