Chapter 4: Violence For A Reason

Ugh… As usual, I was planning to borrow a catering truck and visit the food alley in the Trinity district that I recently discovered, but perhaps because I had been there twice already, the Justice Realization Committee’s response was swift.

Well, they were just doing their job, so I don’t intend to resent them.

It was within the scope of what I had already anticipated, so I had already prepared a countermeasure.

As proof, the two who are said to be the next president and vice president of the Justice Realization Committee are not pursuing us.

However, I’m a little disappointed that if the Justice Realization Committee members were also explorers who thought deeply about and explored gourmet food, they wouldn’t have stopped us like this.

Anyway… Although I haven’t had many confrontations with the Justice Realization Committee, I’ve experienced it before.

In a few minutes, the Justice Realization Committee in front, who are forming an encirclement, and the previous Justice Realization Committee,

who are pursuing us after overcoming the previously destroyed vehicle, will work together to tighten the noose around our necks.

Of course, we have already prepared countermeasures for that.

“Fufu… Let’s hold on a little longer and then scatter, everyone.

Fuuka… Akari? Can I ask you to do that?”

“Yes~ Let’s meet at the prearranged point A “

“Huh? Point A? What’s that?”

We take cover behind the catering truck, which is completely overturned and no longer functional, and keep the Justice Realization Committee, who are forming an encirclement, in check.

There was a restaurant behind this wrecked truck.

It was a restaurant that was closed today, and such restaurants usually have a back door.

The escape route is already secured… Behind this restaurant are complicated back alleys.

We’ll scatter to deceive the Justice Realization Committee and meet at a prearranged point.

“Huh? President, President! That gourmet-chan is coming over here?”

While Izumi is dealing with the Justice Realization Committee using heavy weapons, she informs me that a precious encounter in this outskirts of Trinity, a gourmet who can surely understand us, is walking towards us.

Oh my, it seems she intends to join us!

“There’s still time before the follow-up pursuit arrives, so shall we go with her?”

To cover her coming this way, I stick my head out over the truck and aim my beloved gun, [Ideal].

But why is that?

Her expression is unusual.

She’s definitely smiling, but it’s not a genuine smile.

Why is that…!

As soon as she passed the Justice Realization Committee members who were surrounding us, she started running fast.

To provide cover…

As I look through the scope, the muzzle of a revolver in her hand and my eye stare at each other.

This is dangerous.

I don’t know why she’s doing this.

She probably has a different intention from us.

I seem to have misunderstood.

She is also a type that cannot understand us.

Once I’ve made this judgment, the next action is decided.

Aim at her and fire….

-Bang-

A sound so loud it could be called violent, a gunshot is heard, and the scope of my beloved gun is shattered.

If I hadn’t reflexively taken my eye off the scope, it would have been dangerous…

“…Certainly, you carry a spicy partner… Fufu… Akari?”

“Yes! A special shot, coming up!”

I give instructions to Akari to fire a grenade.

It doesn’t need to be a direct hit.

Since it’s a grenade, even she, who has the toughness to withstand and dodge Izumi’s barrage, will stop for a moment.

This is the moment.

The two sides of the Justice Realization Committee have not yet joined.

For us, it would be advantageous to have both sides join here and disappear from this place to shake them off… but it’s my mistake for not anticipating that she would have that much toughness and would stop us, and for letting her join, so it can’t be helped.

Now, escape through the restaurant…

“The sin of making me angry will carry heavy punishment!”

Smoke generated by the explosion of the grenade, and from within it, I hear that young lady’s voice.

It sends shivers down my spine.

This sensation is… No, it’s incomparable to her from the Prefect Team.

But this is….

She rushes through the smoke.

The grenade didn’t even buy us any time.

Decisions must be made quickly.

“Akari!”

“Yes! A warm gre…”

“Open fire!”

I instructed Akari to fire another grenade, but the Justice Realization Committee’s firepower is concentrated on Akari and stops her.

“Izumi! Concentrate firepower on her!”

“Yes, President!”

Izumi’s gun, [Daily Cutlery], is an MG3 general-purpose machine gun.

Originally, she was scattering fire to buy time from the Justice Realization Committee’s encirclement, but now that the firepower is concentrated on Akari, she focuses on that young lady who is charging forward.

-Brrrrrrr…-

-Pah-pah-pah…-

-Clang….-

“What toughness!”

It’s absurd.

She uses her wings as a shield, blocking the front with her wings, and continues her charge.

I’ve seen many Trinity students, but I’ve never seen anyone use their wings like that, so I was taken aback.

It doesn’t sound like bullets are hitting wings in the first place.

I hear the sound of bullets being blocked and falling from something hard.

It’s not a sound that should be heard in this massive gunfire.

But… my nerves… this familiar sensation makes me focus all my attention on her.

I could definitely hear it clearly.

“Are you prepared?!”

The scope is gone, but at this point, it can’t be helped.

I aim my beloved gun.

I say this, but I’m nervous.

Something I’ve been able to do since some time ago….

A powerful shot that leaves me feeling a very brief, but noticeable, sense of exhaustion after firing.

I aimed that at her.

“Uwaaa!”

It’s absurd.

I had just finished aiming, but she’s already in front of Izumi.

She took the barrage of the machine gun with her body and was covered in wounds.

Her left wing, which she used as a shield, is badly damaged, and her body is covered in wounds.

And yet, she stands there, smiling.

Momentarily stunned, she grabs Izumi by the collar and throws her towards the Justice Realization Committee.

It’s absurd.

I thought she was a young lady, but she’s a knight.

Overcoming the weight of Izumi and the general-purpose machine gun and throwing her, her strength is also absurd.

“Prepare yourse…..”

Akari, who barely escaped the Justice Realization Committee’s concentrated fire, aims her gun at the battered knight.

The knight reacts as if she had already anticipated it.

Like a scene from an action movie, she dives into Akari’s arms.

Immediately after… she grabs Akari and rotates greatly to the left, applying an armbar.

A clean flying armbar, just like in an action movie, lands on Akari.

“This… The path of gourmet is so difficult…”

Without releasing the already subdued Akari, that monstrous revolver, when seen up close, a gun with an absurd caliber… it must be that one from S&W, is aimed at my head… This is bad.

It’s a checkmate.

To be subdued by the person I was trying to recruit… It’s ridiculous…

If I try to resist, I can resist the knight in front of me, but… it’s better to stop.

Beyond her, the Justice Realization Committee, who restrained Izumi, are approaching with their guns aimed… How disappointing.

I wish the knight in front of me was someone who explored gourmet…

It was a fact I learned later, but I was surprised to learn that she was a middle school student who was just entering her first year of high school.

If she enters the Justice Realization Committee, I’ll have to consider her when planning for Trinity…

“Ugh… It stings…”

“Well, who told you to run out like that… Your wings are all messed up, what is this…”

“But… thanks to those people, my entire schedule for today was ruined…? It’s justified violence, Senpai!”

Because of the Gourmet Research Society, my schedule for today was ruined.

My precious weekend was also a mess.

My favorite clothes were torn, and my whole body was sore from diving into the barrage of a general-purpose machine gun.

Now, it’s a small reason, but my arm was also scratched and stung.

It was justified violence.

Regardless of whether I like physical activity or not, my physical specs are quite good.

If I liked physical activity, I might have made a name for myself.

I even fantasize about that.

“Then what I’m doing now is also justified violence.”

“Huh…? Uwaaa! Senpai! I’m a patient! A patient!”

“Mine-senpai will make you faint anyway! You better be prepared to be scolded by Serina, too!”

“Uwaaa!”

As a result of losing my temper and rampaging due to the boiling anger, the Gourmet Research Society was arrested, but I was also a mess.

Thanks to that, now… I’m being hit by Ichika-senpai.

Of course, she didn’t hit me hard because I’m a patient, but my back is tingling… It’s not my wings that were damaged by the bullets, but my back is hot…

My wings… For some reason, my wings have always been tougher than other students’.

I never imagined that my wings being tough would mean this, but as someone who enjoyed movies, especially action movies, one of the few cultures allowed in the busy life of a 27-year-old in my past life, I could imagine it.

Using my wings as a shield and charging forward seems like a pretty good method.

I should use it in the next tactical exam…

Apart from that, it’s sad that my wing feathers are all damaged.

It’ll cost a lot of money to fix them and restore them to their original state… Fortunately, there are many students with wings in Trinity.

There are also students with animal ears or tails, so there are quite a few shops that take care of such fur.

However, my wing feathers are so damaged that it won’t be easy unless it’s a high-end shop…

“Well… that’s that, and thank you for helping us arrest the Gourmet Research Society. Are you still not thinking of joining the Justice Realization Committee?”

“Ugh, the Justice Realization Committee is still a bit… I don’t like physical work…”

During our banter, Ichika-senpai suggested that I join the Justice Realization Committee.

But… I still don’t like physical work.

It’s not just physical work, but if it’s the Justice Realization Committee, where I have to use my head on the fly like I did, the workload will definitely be close to that of a black company, even if the treatment is good….

“Sora-chan, you’re also smart, so you might not be in a field position.”

“You’re going to make me work in the field anyway…”

“As expected, Sora-chan, you’re also perceptive.”

I’ve seen people being forced to work in the field many times because of their abilities, even if they’re not in a field position.

Refusal is the right choice here.

If I accept this offer…. I’ll be working like crazy in the Justice Realization Committee for at least 1-2 years…

“Well, it would be good to rest for a while until Mine-senpai arrives. After the treatment, you’ll be summoned to the Justice Realization Committee as a witness and person of interest.”

“Ugh… It seems like it’s become even more of a hassle…”

“You were already going to be summoned from the moment you were kidnapped. You should just accept it.”

“Sigh… It’s only been a few months since you collapsed, and you’re coming again… Sora-chan…”

“Haha… I’m sorry…”

Instead of the other third-year students who had already moved on to internships at other hospitals within Trinity, I was unilaterally transported by Mine-senpai, who became the head of the Knights Hospitaller at the end of her second year.

The destination is obvious, isn’t it?

The Knights Hospitaller.

Thanks to that, I’m now being scolded by Serina-senpai.

“No, you’re not even in the Justice Realization Committee, so why did you throw yourself into something you didn’t have to do! They’re violent terrorists!

You don’t even know how much you could get hurt, and you throw yourself in… Ugh… Why do all the people who are a little strong have to be so reckless…”

“I… I’m sorry…”

-Monday-

“…What do you think, Mika…”

“Wow… Is that really a middle school student? Those Gehenna horned ones don’t seem weak, that’s impressive.”

Early in the morning, three people were having a meeting on the terrace of the Tea Party building, with tea and what must be high-quality black tea set up.

The topic of the meeting was…

The Eden Treaty, a peace treaty between Gehenna and Trinity, proposed and led by the General Student Council President, a symbol of the superhuman, who represents the current Kivotos, at the young age of a second-year student,

who will be entering her third year and taking the position of the head of Trinity’s student council, the head of the three factions of the Tea Party.

Although this treaty is being conducted in secret, there are quite a few academies where the leadership is aware of it, at least within the upper echelons of the larger academies.

Under the name of the General Student Council President, the leaders of the academies who are aware of this are pretending not to know, thinking that she must have a plan.

This is a fact that the faction leaders of the Tea Party are also aware of.

That said, it would be foolish not to make any preparations.

Kirifuji Nagisa, the head of the Tea Party’s Filius faction, was well-versed in politics.

That’s why she grasped the current situation faster than anyone else.

It would be nice if it were just a groundless fear, but there are also academies that may not view this treaty favorably.

Therefore, they decided to be wary of and prepare countermeasures against academies or forces that are bold enough to use violent methods such as

primitive sabotage, kidnapping, or confinement against the three major academies of Kivotos and the General Student Council President.

Against the large academy of Trinity and the superhuman General Student Council President, logical sabotage will obviously not work.

There was confidence in the trust in the General Student Council President and in Trinity as a large academy.

In fact, the scale of Trinity and the ability of the General Student Council President made it so that there were no loopholes in the treaty.

Therefore, there was only one thing they needed to prepare for: the primitive sabotage mentioned earlier.

And the countermeasure for that is…

Using students who are politically neutral or new students who have particularly noteworthy combat abilities and are competent as bodyguards for the Tea Party.

They must have sufficient ability to be appointed as Tea Party officials to avoid any backlash.

That’s why they had to find students who are both academically and militarily capable.

Such students are not easy to find.

After searching for a long time, they found Yumetsubasa Sora, who is considered a good student in the middle school and who played a major role in subduing the terrorists called the Gourmet Research Society.

She was a suitable person.

“Those filthy horned ones, you never know when they’ll betray you, right? I think that level is sufficient, Nagi-chan.”

Misono Mika, the head of the anti-Gehenna Pater faction, possessed overwhelming combat power.

One of the strongest in Trinity, she could assess a student’s combat power just by watching their movements.

The reason why she, an anti-Gehenna extremist and Gehenna hater, is quietly following the Eden Treaty is only one: the symbol of the superhuman, the General Student Council President.

Honestly, she still couldn’t understand that superhuman’s thoughts.

A peace treaty with the Gehenna horned ones?

That’s right, she didn’t trust Gehenna, she trusted the General Student Council President.

Nevertheless, she thought that the General Student Council President wouldn’t leave any means for the Gehenna horned ones to misuse the peace treaty,

and if Gehenna betrayed them, no, she thought that Gehenna would definitely betray them, so she believed that the General Student Council President’s subsequent iron fist on Gehenna, the superhuman’s judgment, would surely bring Gehenna down to the ground.

That’s why she was following the Eden Treaty.

“…Her grades are not too uneven, and although her social circle is a bit narrow, the evaluations within that narrow circle are good. I believe she is a trustworthy person. I don’t think there will be much concern from within the Tea Party about her…”

The wisest of the three in the Tea Party, Yuri is a person who is considered by the previous Tea Party student council presidents to be unsurpassed in wisdom.

If it weren’t for her, even though they knew that Nagisa and Mika had outstanding abilities, they wouldn’t have given up their positions as faction leaders to them, saying they would enjoy their third-year life.

That’s how much she was recognized by everyone as a possessor of wisdom.

Kirifuji Nagisa also did not object to this and acknowledged her wisdom.

That’s why she is the person who made the greatest contribution in coming up with the necessary conditions in the process of selecting this personnel.

“Even if she has outstanding abilities, she must first receive high marks in the upcoming entrance exam in order for us to make a love call and recruit her.”

“There seems to be no need to worry too much about that. It has been confirmed that she has recently been concentrating on her studies.

Studying at this time… I can’t think of anything other than the entrance exam. We just need to worry about the recruitment conditions or methods.”

Nagisa lightly pointed out the prerequisites for recruiting her, but Seia, who had investigated her herself, refuted Nagisa’s point by revealing information about her.

It was a valid point, but it was no longer a problem after the investigation.

They had also obtained information that she was planning to take the entrance exam, so all that was left was to prevent her from missing the entrance exam due to an accident on the day of the exam.

“To recruit her… It seems that one of us going is the most likely option…”

“Hmm? Seia? What do you mean?”

“Do you mean your usual intuition?”

“That’s right. She will definitely refuse a simple recruitment. That’s why it has to be one of us. I believe that if it’s one of us, she will definitely accept the offer.”

Yurizono Seia’s special quality is not just her wisdom.

Her ability to see the future, or precognitive dreams.

Many people around her perceive it as her having a particularly good intuition.

Since there were also Tea Party attendants here besides the three, she chose the word “intuition” instead of “precognitive dream” and chose the word “believe.”

“I see… Then I will go to her myself. Well then… let’s move on to the next discussion.”

And so, the day of the Tea Party passes.

The justified recruitment of a member begins to move towards Sora.
