Chapter 133 Hostile Intent
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”It seems that Riko liked the maid uniforms very much,” Chihiro thought
The costumes she wore at the maid café in 1-C were given to each student, and she has been wearing them most of the time after the school festival
Her tone of voice before similar to that of Maria and Yotsuba, but not as reverent as theirs, which seems to be part of her hobby
Apparently, she says that she can’t help but make use of them since they are free
”Riko, are you sure about washing your costume?”
”Hm? Oh, no problem. I also got Aika’s and Maria’s”
That’s true
Since each of them came back with their own copy, Chihiro and the others have four identical outfits. With three outfits, she should be able to wear the costume for a while
”Then, where’s my costume?”
”As I expected, I couldn’t get one that belongs to Chisato-chan, who won the first prize at the Miss Contest”
”No, don’t worry about that”
Besides, since Chihiro’s was torn to pieces in the battle, it may not be suitable to wear in that sense
In the midst of this conversation, they arrived at the living room
Everyone was there except for Yotsuba, who lives at home and is strict when it comes to making side trips――In other words, Maria, Aika, and Hana were all there
Chihiro, who has saw them, smiles and they welcome him back
”Come to think of it, it’s becoming more and more norm for Mishuku-san to be here”
To Chihiro’s words, the literary girl with dark-rimmed glasses is miffed
”It can’t be helped. There have been so many things happening every day these days. So, I thought there would be more things to clean up and talk about”
”Thank you, that honestly helps”
Hana is correct
Because after this, Chihiro sat down in his seat and tells them that he has a new report
Suzu, who had returned to the living room with him, also sat down. Riko, on the other hand, prepared drinks for Chihiro and then took her seat
The conversation then turned to what had been said at the student council meeting
”The election of student council officers…”
”Inter-school competition, huh?”
When they finished talking, Aika and Maria muttered at about the same time
”Anyway, I’m planning to participate in both of them as much as I can. Well…the competition is only if I am chosen as a representative”
”Well, I think you might be selected, don’t you?”
”Yes, is it Kamishiro-kun? You beat that handsome boy, didn’t you?”
Hana said nonchalantly and Suzu nodded her head
And it made Chihiro grunted a little
It is true that at that time the rivalry with Kaname and the desire to beat Kamishiro this time made him overdo it – but to be honest, it was not good to be too showy
At this point Maria shook her head
”…Well, perhaps, it was inevitable in a sense”
”Why?”
Riko tilted her head, to which Aika replied with narrowed eyes
”Because her school will appear as a “hostile” in the inter-school competition that’s why”
”…Oh, I see”
Suddenly, Riko’s eyes were fixed on Chihiro
Ibusuki Kaname
The girl who suddenly appeared during the school festival, stirred up the scene, and gave Chihiro a lot of information
He has a feeling that eventually she will clash with him, or more precisely, that the organization behind her, [Absolute], will clash with him, but he doesn’t want that to happen
”As I said yesterday, the core members of Shibatsuru Academy are almost completely controlled by that organization. So, if Chihiro-sama participates in the competition, you’ll have to face them”
”So, maybe the girl herself will be there?”
”Yes”
Maria nodded her head in agreement with Suzu’s statement
Especially, she has already explained about [Absolute] to everyone
* * *
[Lost Item] organization, [Absolute]
Almost all members are women, and most of them are [Lost Item]. The size of the organization is several dozen regular members alone. Perhaps more than a hundred
Their activities are varied. As was mentioned in the case with Kaname, they are basically a “jack-of-all-trades”, and will take on almost any kind of work as long as they are paid a reasonable price (mainly money) for their services. Regardless of whether it is legitimate or illegitimate
Because of their cautious approach to illegal activities, the police have not been able to touch the organization as a whole
At the same time, they sometimes cooperate with the police to maintain public order, and there are some who approve of their existence. Their influence is wide and they are said to have connections in almost every field
Not even Maria has an idea of how much power they have outside of their regular members, including underage associate members and collaborators
Its leader is Fukami Kaito
He is Maria’s own brother and only sibling
[My brother is the ruler. As the name of the organization suggests, he is the absolute ruler]
Maria has never been told the full extent of his abilities
However, he uses his ability to sense people’s minds and manipulate them to his own advantage, sometimes even twisting and rewriting their personalities. She has seen it happen many times
So, it is pointless to accuse him of such a thing
Because once his ability is used, the subject becomes his believer, or his ally, so to speak. And whatever he says to the person after that, the person can’t be antagonistic to him now
As a result, there is no one who is unhappy nor perceives themselves to be unhappy. That is how Kaito adjust their lives
Also, every woman in the world is potentially his
Maria heard him say something like that once
However, Kaito was kind to Maria
[He was quite far from me in age, and he is a person with personality problems – Even thought, I can never praise him out of hand, but it is true that he was not cold to me]
He did not try to brainwash Maria with his abilities, and he cared and looked after her in his own way
Somehow, he is slightly like Kaede
[Yes. When I heard Chihiro-sama’s story, I also thought it was a strange coincidence]
Having extraordinary siblings, thus they are together now
[Me too, I had a crush on him at first]
[Heh? Mishuku-san has a crush on a man?]
[That was in elementary school. I haven’t been this way from the time I was little either]
