"I'm a little bored."
Haruta was sitting and resting at Schale again today.
"Akashi, just curious, how much time is left?"
"The nearest one is... in four days, sir."
"Hmm... then what's changed?"
"Nothing yet..."
"Okay! Thanks."
"...Haruta, I have something I'm curious about too..."
"Huh? You have something you're curious about? That's rare."
"What did that person... say to you...?"
"Akashi, no matter what happens, I'll protect everyone."
"...Was that really something you had to hide so carefully?"
"It can't be helped. It's unavoidable."
"Yes... Then you know there's only a week left now, right?"
"Yeah... I don't mind being hated or resented. I just want everyone to get a happy ending..."
------------------------------------------------
"Teacher, where are you right now?"
"Ah... at the Trinity Academy annex dorms."
"Hmm... then can I come over too?"
"Uh... sure, but don't keep trying to hit the girls when you see them."
"Hey now... do I seem like that kind of person?"
"Haha, I'm kidding."
Haruta moved to the location the Teacher sent him.
"Oh, Teacher!"
"Whoa... Haruta, you..."
"Hehe, did you notice?"
"You finally washed up!"
Smack!
"Guh..."
"Haa... Teacher! At least make a joke that isn't actually—"
At that moment, he felt a presence behind him and turned around.
"..."
"Oh, you're Azusa?"
"...You are..."
"Shh!"
The Teacher got up, holding his head, and looked back and forth between me and Azusa.
"Oh. You two know each other?"
"Hmm... well, we met once and shared a meal... I guess you could say that?"
"Huh... you're closer than I thought?"
"No, we haven't seen each other once since then..."
"That's a shame. Azusa is a good kid."
"Teacher... that person is..."
"Azusa? You shouldn't judge people by appearances. And Haruta, where the hell did you sell your wings?"
"You're only asking that now?"
"Yeah, I only just noticed. So, the wings?"
"Haa... just a moment."
He tensed his back slightly, and a pair of wings emerged.
"What... is that?"
"...That would be..."
"Well... shall we call it the spoils of victory?"
"Those are White Wings, right?"
"Haa... so you know about them too, Teacher?"
"Yeah. I tried that game on a recommendation from my friends."
"Then you know how good these are, right?"
Crack!
"Ow! Teacher... why did you hit me!"
"Listen, Haruta. You were this close to dying just now. The very idea of fighting White Wings one-on-one was already hopeless."
"But I needed the power."
"Then why not just eat the arbiter?"
"Oh, that's a good su—"
Whack!
"Ow... that really hurts!"
"Haa... Haruta, from next time on, I'll make sure you can't even go into the city."
"Hmph... but, well... I'm still alive, aren't I?"
"Say that one more time and I'll really get angry."
"Yes, sir..."
"...Right. Well, I'm glad you're alive..."
"Anyway, Teacher, want me to get you something?"
"You handed me that sword as a self-defense weapon again, and I swear I thought my arm was going to come off."
"Yes... but it's really just a very light sword..."
"The Teacher isn't from Kivotos."
"Ah..."
"So why did you come here?"
"I came to see Azusa... and the other Supplementary Lessons Department girls."
"Oh, oh. See that big building over there?"
"Hmm... ah! That one?"
"Yeah, it's behind that, near the pool."
"Ah, then shall we go together?"
"Yeah, sure, but that place is more of a headache than you'd think."
"Still, I was fast, right?"
"That much is true."
"Azusa! You should come too, quickly."
Crash!
"Watch your step."
Haruta grabbed Azusa's hand and shoved her through the portal.
"...Oh my? Teacher? Who is that?"
"Ugh... that person is..."
"What! Scary!"
"Hmm... if that person really does use that kind of power, then the watchful guard—"
"Teacher, I feel like I just heard a lot of things I shouldn't have."
"Well... the girls are a little lively."
The first to speak was Hanako.
"You are... Kivotos's worst criminal... the one called Chaos, right?"
"Yeah, yeah, that's all fine, but I'm not in the mood for that kind of talk right now."
"Eh!? A criminal!? Hurry, call the Justice Task Force..."
"No, no! You can't do that."
The Teacher stopped Koharu and explained the situation from the beginning.
"What! Why is a criminal in a space with high school girls? Doesn't that mean he's up to something? Lewd stuff is forbidden! Death penalty!"
"For crying out loud."
"Oh my? I like it."
"Lewd stuff is forbidden!"
"I'm really losing it..."
"Teacher... how are you supposed to cover this up?"
"...How am I supposed to cover this up?"
The Teacher let out a sigh and looked at me.
"...Haruta, help me..."
"Haha, sorry. I don't have the confidence to cover that up."
"Ah... right... that thing about Mika..."
"Ah... let's talk about that later."
"Yeah... well, there's no real point bringing it up right now anyway..."
And just like that, the chaotic first meeting with the Supplementary Lessons Department came to an end.
"Teacher... did Mika do something again?"
"Yeah... well, it's not a coup yet, but... it'll probably happen soon..."
"I don't know the exact date either, but... if a coup does happen, please tell me right away. I'll come immediately..."
"Yeah... I don't know what Mika would do if she saw you..."
"Ah... I have an idea for that."
"? What's that?"
Swoosh!
A black liquid clung to his face, then quickly changed shape into a mask.
"...Well, if Mika gets confined, I guess it won't matter if I go, but... that would make me feel a little bad, wouldn't it?"
"That is true..."
"Then I'll head back to Schale for now."
"Yeah, take care on the way back."
"Yes... and if you need anything or something comes up, call me right away."
"Mm. Take care."
"Yes."
Crash!
"Is it finally starting now?"
He lay down on the bed and checked his phone for a moment.
"Gehena's Gourmet Research Society... invading Trinity territory... terrorism?"
Looking at his phone, he saw a text from Hina.
"[Haruta! The Gourmet Research Society girls have caused trouble again...]"
"[Ah... Hina, then I'll catch them and bring them in.]"
"[Got it. Please catch them as fast as you can.]"
And so, after leaving Trinity, he immediately moved back toward Trinity again.
Crash!
"Hehe, displaying a rare tuna like Golden Maguro in an aquarium is disrespectful to tuna...."
"This looks seriously delicious!"
"Mmph! Mmph!! Mmmph!!"
"Hehe, it looks like Fuuka is excited to cook this too..."
"Wow... just one bite of this first..."
"Hey! You up front!"
"Hm? Who is that?"
Whoosh!
Clang!
Kang!
"I have a bad feeling about this..."
Slash!
In an instant, the car was split in half and everyone was sent flying.
Crash!
Crash!
Crash!
Crash!
Crash!
Then he created five portals at the predicted landing points and shoved everyone through them.
At that time, in Gehenna.
"Haa... what a peaceful day..."
A low-ranking Gehenna Prefect Team member was resting in the prison.
Then—
Crash!
Crash!
Crash!
Crash!
Crash!
After five sounds like breaking glass, the Gourmet Research Society members came into the prison.
"...? Huh?"
There was Fuuka too, with her mouth, arms, and legs bound.
"Huh? I can understand the Gourmet Research Society, but... the head of the Catering Department?!"
"Mmph! Mmph! Mmph!!"
"Ah. Sorry, Fuuka? Was it?"
"Mmph! Mmph! Mmph!"
Fuuka nodded furiously and looked at Haruta.
"Hmm... I'll untie you."
Haruta personally removed Fuuka's restraints.
"Haa... haa... thank you... You said your name was Haruta, right? If you ever come to Gehenna's Catering Department later, I'll treat you to something delicious..."
"Yeah, then take care on your way."
After sending Fuuka off, he asked the low-ranking Prefect Team member to arrange a place for a conversation with the Gourmet Research Society.
"Hey, seriously, what were you thinking, going all the way to Trinity to commit terrorism?"
"Hehehe... terrorism? No, no... that was respect for tuna."
"...Man... you girls really are something else."
Bang!
The door flew open and Hina came in.
"Haruta! What happened?!"
"Yeah, as you can see, I caught them all."
"Haa... seriously, I'm busy with the Eden Treaty right now, so could you not add more work?"
"Hehe, our passion for gourmet food can't be stopped by anyone..."
"Wow... I like delicious food too, but... isn't that a bit much?"
"Haa... thanks, Haruta..."
"Sure, whatever... call me again next time. I'll bring them back split in half then."
"Eek...!"
Junko, who had been listening, trembled in fear.
"...Wait... you are...?"
Haruna studied Haruta's face closely, then nodded as if she had figured out who he was.
"Heh... hehehe... I see. This time, it couldn't be helped... yes... let's look forward to next time..."
"Huh? Haruna? Who is that guy?"
"I heard about him before... four pairs of wings... and crimson eyes... black hair, a man... Kivotos's worst criminal, nicknamed 'Chaos.'"
"Oh. I was that famous?"
"Of course... Kivotos's worst criminal... Chaos, a strength on a completely different level from the criminals before him... and a glorious record of taking down an entire battalion by himself..."
"But... Haruta... the wings..."
"Huh? These? Just a normal upgrade."
"...That's... true?"
"See? I can fly without even flapping them."
After he finally introduced Hina to the advantages of his newly acquired wings, he was barely able to return to Schale.
"Well, whatever happens, as long as I don't get caught, it's fine."
Satisfied that he had at least avoided running into the Trinity Justice Task Force, he checked his phone and saw the news.
"...Trinity Student Council Tea Party... Chaos... wanted...???"
Haruta rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
