Chapter 106 Untouchable Past
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
When the second period ended, we left the café and walked away from the teleportation facility.
Just as we were about to enter the school entrance hall, 2 guys walked over from the school gate and called out to us.
”Hey, Chika!”
”Oh, it’s Kanetchi and Kenken!”
They were friends of Hano-san from the safe zone on the 4th floor.
”Sogahara-senpai should’ve just returned. Did you come back now?”
”I came back with Sogacchi, but we took a little break at the café. What about you guys? Were you exploring the 4th floor?”
Hano-san was chatting easily, but these guys were Demiurge after all.
They were more like flashy party types than delinquents, and I found them a bit annoying.
”Yeah, that. Moriya-san was fired up saying ‘Attack the Student Council and kidnap Amahara!’ But Sogahara-senpai came back, so it got canceled.”
”We were called too since we’re technically under Moriya-san.”
”Whoa, that’s dangerous! The president is really in a tough spot.”
I wondered if they really thought about that.
If they did it, I’d take a picture of them tied up n*ked.
”Anyhow, not many people gathered, so an attack was probably impossible. That guy is strong for sure, but he doesn’t have much charisma.”
”Is there even a charismatic leader?”
”The decent people get treated badly and forced into dirty work. If we can’t find Kibakura-san, Demiurge might really fall apart.”
”If that happens, I’ll slip away from Demiurge in the confusion. In the end, we’re just pawns, getting used and tossed aside.”
They seemed so unconcerned, like if someone overheard this, it wouldn’t just lead to a scolding.
”By the way, Chika. We’re going back to the 4th floor, but when we come back from diving, wanna hang out with us again?”
”Yeah, I can’t forget your skills.”
I feel a little angry, like I want to kill, but that’s just pride talking.
Hano isn’t even my girlfriend, so it’s weird for me to get upset about this.
”Sorry! Right now, I’m all about Tsucchi, okay?”
”O… okay?”
Wait, what!?
Hano was mine all along!?
I’m sorry, but even though Hano and I have gotten close and done some naughty things, she’s experienced and not really into me like that.
When did this happen!?
”Seriously? You said you wouldn’t bother with a boyfriend anymore.”
”Hehe, Tsucchi is special!”
”I see, I kind of felt that way about you. Guess that can’t be helped then.”
I’m a bit happy, but this isn’t the time to celebrate.
Are we adding more girls to my harem?
Nishina-san, Satou-san, Amahara-senpai, and now Hano-san?
If we count Himeno, Higurashi, and Kanon, that’s 7!
That’s more than double what I have now!
Plus, the new girls are super strong!
I can’t handle this; I don’t know what to do anymore.
Maekawa-san might… probably isn’t involved, right?
I did have sex with everyone once before, but that was a thanks for teaching me, and nothing happened since then.
…Nothing happened, right?
Thinking back, I did kiss a few times.
Can I just forget about those kisses?
My feelings are getting so messed up; I don’t know anymore.
”Well, we’re gonna head out now.”
”But, before that…”
The two turned their eyes to me.
”Hey, Tsuchimiya, we’re enemies now.”
”──!”
I can’t tell if it’s Kanetchi or Kenken, but their eyes narrowed at me.
”So, next time we meet, we might have to fight.”
”Yeah, I guess.”
”If that happens, I’ll play dead, so go easy on me.”
”…Huh?”
”Tsucchi, these guys are weak, so please don’t hurt them too much.”
”Uh, okay.”
”We’re not weak! We’re just average!”
”Yeah, we live without going against the strong. Forever, no matter where.”
No, that’s not something you say all cool and stuff.
I kinda get why these guys are in Demiurge.
They’d probably switch sides easily if they got a little scared.
Doesn’t mean I want them on my team, though.
”Well, I don’t wanna go, but I guess I’ll head out.”
”Okay. Then, the 3rd floor is tough enough, but the 4th? If I get separated, it’s game over for me…”
”Well, just be careful!”
And the two walked off toward the teleportation facility.
”Shall we go to the classroom too?”
Walking in through the entrance, there’s a hall with an office.
Himeno and Kanon’s classroom is on the 3rd floor of building A, so we split up here.
Walking with Hano-san along the corridor, we reach building B, then turn right past the shop and go up the stairs at the end.
Our class, 2-D, is in the corner room on the 2nd floor.
”Oh, Akarin!”
When we got to the 2nd floor, Satou-san was standing in front of us.
”Welcome back, you two!”
”Yeah, we’re back. Did you come to greet us?”
I let them know I’d be back when I left the café.
”Yep. I thought you might need a bodyguard.”
As Satou-san spoke, she naturally wrapped her arm around mine.
Right away, Hano-san tangled up on my other arm.
They weren’t wearing armor, so it felt soft.
”A bodyguard?”
”Yeah. Did you forget? There are quite a few kids aiming to convince Tsuchimiya-kun to get the communication function.”
”But Tsucchi promised to prioritize Sonopi and the others, right? That’s not good…”
”This morning, Asuka-san came and collected Sonoka and the others’ smartphones in front of everyone, so now it’s clear that tactic works.”
”Wait! Higurashi did that?!”
Sure, I told Higurashi last night to let Sonoka-san and the others go a bit early, but isn’t that a bit fast?
And right in front of everyone, too.
By the way, last night, I also added new communication functions to ten smartphones.
That guy, he can’t be enjoying pushing me into a corner, right?
…It’s possible.
”Even if I got raped in public, I shouldn’t have shaken my head vertically.”
”It’s too hard to maintain fairness!”
I’m screwed if I get caught!
In the first place, if I get raped, I can’t resist with force, so there’s a chance my Level 1-nano will be exposed.
Then I’ll end up like a pig getting eaten by a pack of piranhas.
”Look, when you enter the classroom, even if you get asked, don’t make a bad deal.”
”Yes… I’ll do my best as your escort.”

At that time, Higurashi Asuka was in the Student Council exclusive building.
Moriya, who is considered the next in line after Kibakura in Demiurge, received a report that Vice President Sogahara had gathered soldiers and made a move while he was diving.
She was communicating with representatives of the Student Freedom Alliance on her smartphone at a tatami-matted Japanese-style room’s table, but now Moriya’s movement has stopped because Vice President Sogahara has returned.
Higurashi put her smartphone on the table, leaned back in her chair, and stretched.
Reaching for the prepared hot beverage, she sipped the lukewarm hojicha and pondered.
Higurashi is very busy.
She has to process multiple cases in her brain at the same time, but she also enjoys doing it.
When she has too much thinking resource, she feels it’s a waste.
To focus on the case that caught her attention, she murmured out loud.
”If Maekawa-senpai and Amahara-senpai join the harem, that makes 8 people in total, right? Eight people…”
Higurashi rested her hand on her chin and furrowed her brow.
”Eight is half-hearted. It becomes 2.666666… times as much. If there was one more person, it would be exactly 3 times and have a stronger impact. No, why not, if we add 2 more, it would be a nice round number of ten. Now, what should we do…”
