The Countermeasures Committee (6)
The narrative of the Countermeasures Committee has entered the final arc.
Sensei requested support from Gehenna to rescue Hoshino.
In the original story, Sensei would have licked Iori's foot and been noticed by Hina, who would then move for Sensei.
But in this world line, I had already intervened.
'I have already meddled with this world line.'
I warned Sensei. If there was something to ask from Gehenna, to find the Pandemonium Society.
I had plotted so that Sensei wouldn't meet Hina.
And Sensei visited the Pandemonium Society.
As planned, I thought.
"Already finished talking with the Prefect Team!? Why did you think it was enough with just the Pandemonium Society!"
But Sensei had already met Hina first. I was in the background.
Feeling unnecessary rivalry, I protested to Sensei.
By the way, I was jealous of Sensei. I didn't want to lose Hina to him.
"More supporters are better, no matter what."
An irrefutable truth.
Even if the Pandemonium Society poured out unlimited support, it couldn't surpass Hina, who is at the level of academy power in combat ability.
Sensei made the correct judgment as a commander.
"And after meeting Hina, I can lick Iori's foot."
Or perhaps just a simple pervert.
"Sensei, isn't that a bit... strange in terms of timing?"
"Even Makoto would understand if you saw that beautiful profile."
Sensei leaned in to me as if confiding in a same-age friend about dirty talk.
The distance was close. He saw me as a comrade with compatible minds.
"No, even if I ask for your consent, it's awkward..."
"I thought Makoto understood adult aesthetics!"
Sensei sniffled as if being rejected for his abnormal sexual desire by a trusted friend.
'This guy, he thinks of me not as a student but as some workplace colleague.'
The culprit was the passionate debate I had with Sensei about gacha games during my shift.
When there was empathy or shared hobbies, Sensei clung to me intimately.
'...Well, I get it. Sensei would feel comfortable with me too.'
After all, I'm closer to an adult than a student.
In fact, I often feel a bond with Sensei. There are many times when I discover similarities with me.
But it's troublesome. What am I supposed to do if I get close to Sensei.
Sensei is Hina's rival.
'For some reason, it feels like I'm troubled between love and friendship.'
I am certain that Sensei is a good person. That's why it's more of a problem. Hina doesn't want to yield.
"Anyway, Sensei, the plan was well received. In this operation, the Pandemonium Society will support Schale with full force."
Additionally, it's a meta remark, but I wanted to grumble about this part.
"Differing from the political and calculative leadership of Trinity."
Is this evidence that I have completely adapted to Gehenna Academy?
The Trinity student council, the Tea Party, doesn't feel right. Gehenna sensitivity has sprouted.
'It's all because of the Tea Party's work laziness.'
I sent diplomatic documents related to the Eden Treaty, but there was no reply.
The Tea Party blatantly ignored the Pandemonium Society. Or perhaps looked down on Makoto.
Either way, it's bad.
"Thank you, Makoto."
Sensei sincerely thanked me.
"No, no such thanks are needed! Supporting Schale's Sensei is enough for the Pandemonium Society."
Because of Sensei's handsome appearance, my heart involuntarily fluttered. A max charm appearance scammer.
"...Iori, the kid Sensei mentioned, will definitely be fine. Sensei will definitely rescue that kid."
I saw off Sensei who was heading back to Abydos, cheering him on.
Watching the departing Sensei, I prepared my own work.
I deployed the Pandemonium Society's own troops to the battlefield.
Unlike the Prefect Team, the Pandemonium Society couldn't expect outstanding combat power from the executives. It was a weakness of the Pandemonium Society.
'And moving troops doesn't require a grand justification.'
No need for a grand justification. But I need at least some reason.
Since I'm doing it, add a wonderful speech to fill the morale.
Even if I'm clumsy, Hanuma Makoto is outstanding.
Why? Because Makoto is a double.
The day of the final battle.
I gathered the troops just before deployment.
But the one who ascends the podium is not me.
I hid behind the curtain, and another girl stepped onto the stage.
"Kikikikit! My proud Pandemonium Society warriors!!! From now on, listen to Makoto's words!"
It was the original Makoto right there.
Makoto is excellent at manipulating the audience with her rhetoric. I can't even come close.
Infinite self-confidence, the drive to push through anything to the end, and charismatic power.
"The main actors of Gehenna Academy are us, the Pandemonium Society!"
Waaaa. The troops responded with cheers to Makoto's declaration.
"Recently, it is said that the Prefect Team was miserably defeated by some delinquent organization. Right, the delinquent students of Gehenna who were causing problematic misdeeds in Abydos' desert area. Kikikikit!"
Makoto laughed refreshingly while mocking the Prefect Team's defeat.
"The incompetence of the Prefect Team is soon an opportunity to prove the Pandemonium Society's competence in Gehenna!"
Makoto in a wonderful pose raised her finger to the sky.
"We are the vanguard who will build Gehenna and the vanguard who will lead Kivotos."
Makoto's arrogant rhetoric captivated everyone.
"The dishonor of Gehenna that the Prefect Team has sullied, from now on, the Pandemonium Society will correct it. An opportunity to shake the brave spirits of the warriors across Kivotos! If the Prefect Team fails, the Pandemonium Society will succeed."
The troops gathered at the gathering point were moved by Makoto's speech.
Recalling the antagonism towards the Prefect Team, they burned with fighting spirit.
'Umm... The purpose is to support the Countermeasures Committee. ...Is this okay?'
Hiding behind the curtain, listening to Makoto's speech, I pondered.
For some reason, Makoto seemed hooked on criticizing the Prefect Team.
Makoto, who scathingly mocks the Prefect Team and feels ecstasy.
"Charge."
And,
The Pandemonium Society moves to support the Hoshino rescue operation of the Countermeasures Committee.
