The Days of the Pandemonium Society (7)
It was too big to be called a chest.
Extremely large, massive, heavy, and bouncy.
The first impression I had of Hanekawa Hasumi was her chest.
‘...Impressive.’
The Trinity General School's enforcement agency, the Justice Realization Committee.
Hasumi, the vice president, had come as a conference attendee to the Pandemonium Society.
It would be rude to say so in front of the person involved, but still.
My first impression was only her chest. I was captivated by the impressive volume.
‘In the main story, the reason Makoto was surprised by Hasumi was because of that.’
Her height is about a palm taller than Makoto's.
But the chest difference is overwhelming even from appearance. Explosive.
Hasumi, the top glamour of the Pandemonium Society, is on a different level from Satsuki.
“Makocchi-senpai. This is a guest invited to the Pandemonium Society. Please manage your expression in the official setting.”
Iroha poked my side while I was preparing for the meeting.
I was staring blankly at Hasumi's chest and got caught.
“What is it with that lecherous face... It's lewd, pervert.”
Iroha whispered in my ear, scolding me.
This is unfair. I need an explanation to Iroha.
“It's not like that. I always prefer the smaller side.”
I whispered my preference carefully to Iroha.
That's why Hina is small, petite, and cute.
“...What a petty thing to say. The intention is too obvious, deduction.”
Iroha pulled away from me with a stiff face.
Her expression had softened a bit from before, which was fortunate, but.
“Ahem.”
Hasumi let out an uncomfortable cough.
Her expression was displeased at the sight of me and Iroha whispering to each other.
“Welcome. I formally welcome your visit to the Pandemonium Society.”
I greeted Hasumi as the representative of Gehenna.
“Thank you for inviting me to this place. President Makoto.”
Hasumi responded with a standard greeting.
But it's not a warm, cheerful atmosphere.
Gehenna and Trinity are at the point before the Eden Treaty.
This meeting has the atmosphere of a preemptive strike between the two great academies.
“It's a grateful word, but there's a bit of a gap in the expression. The one I wanted to oppose was the Tea Party, I suppose.”
There's no malice in Hasumi's words, but they come out with thorns.
The selection was wrong. The Tea Party ignored the Pandemonium Society.
The Pandemonium Society sent diplomatic documents about the Eden Treaty, but the Tea Party was unaware.
When officially protested, the Tea Party remained indifferent, and the Justice Realization Committee responded.
The Pandemonium Society proposed a special meeting of the Eden Treaty and dispatched Hasumi.
Makoto's gesture of negotiating value being zero from the Tea Party.
Intending to appease her a bit and then drop it.
‘It must be the Tea Party's scheme... The Justice Realization Committee has no fault.’
The political tactic of the current host of the Tea Party, Kirifuji Nagisa.
In the game, they pretended to be busy with the Eden Treaty, but in reality, the Pandemonium Society is on the back burner. Really bad.
“I hope you will generously understand this point. The current situation before important matters, so the Trinity side has no choice but to be cautious in its actions.”
Hasumi expressed regret politely.
Although the words are long, if explained, it's ‘what can you do, Tea Party’.
If it were the Prefect Team, maybe not, but the Pandemonium Society can be neglected, I suppose.
The external image of the Pandemonium Society is worrying.
“Well, I don't find it unreasonable. However, I can't help but feel a bit disappointed.”
The sincerity of the Trinity side is lacking.
Instead of the Tea Party, the Justice Realization Committee, not even the vice president Tsurugi, but vice president Hasumi came.
‘...Actually, I understand why it wasn't Tsurugi.’
If I had faced Tsurugi, I would have been surprised by another body part.
Certainly, it's not the chest, but the face that is overwhelming.
“If you say that, the Trinity side also has many regrettable points with Gehenna.”
“Oh? What is that?”
Hasumi is also a talented person highly regarded in the Justice Realization Committee.
Hasumi, who doesn't want to just receive one-sided reprimand, raises an objection.
“The Pandemonium Society's inquiry is not accepted by the Trinity side.”
The reason I requested consultation with the Tea Party is one.
The place where the signing ceremony of the Eden Treaty will take place, the Ancient Cathedral of Communion.
It was a question about whether there is room to change the signing ceremony location.
‘...The Ancient Cathedral of Communion.’
The tragedy of the Eden Treaty that will happen soon, the Day of Fire and Ash.
The Ancient Cathedral of Communion, where the signing ceremony will be held, is dangerous. It's a battlefield crafted for the enemy.
Because the Ancient Cathedral of Communion is the symbol where the Trinity's first Ecumenical Council was held in the past,
Because a huge scale catacomb is intricately lurking underground,
Because it's a holy site with remnants of the Justia Holy Council that protected the Ecumenical Council's precepts,
The starting point of all tragedies begins at that place.
And the being who ignited the spark of tragedy is,
“Originally, the one who first proposed the Ancient Cathedral of Communion as the signing ceremony site was President Makoto.”
The president of the Pandemonium Society, Hanuma Makoto.
The place where Makoto proposed and Nagisa agreed is the Ancient Cathedral of Communion.
Hasumi's objection is a natural reaction.
It is a place that Makoto claimed. If they insist on changing the signing ceremony location now, it's a crude whim.
Ultimately, the possibility of reversing the situation is significantly low.
“So, since it's a sensitive matter, I wanted to consult with the Tea Party.”
If even consultation with the Tea Party is impossible, it's fine to say it's impossible.
If I can't get Nagisa's consent, the plan will essentially be a failure.
‘As expected, it's not easy.’
I can't defy the original story's flow. It was a bitter thing.
I know the future but can't rush in. The risk is high.
Gehenna Academy and Trinity General School.
In this story surrounding the Eden Treaty, there are two betrayers.
The villainous president of Gehenna and the villainous young lady of Trinity.
Among them, Hanuma Makoto is the betrayer of Gehenna who allied with Arius.
“Changing the signing ceremony location is difficult to realize at this point. That is the position of the Trinity side.”
Hasumi firmly states her position on the matter.
“...I see.”
If the plan is frustrated, there's no need to prolong it.
If I push too hard, I'll only get caught by the Trinity.
‘If later in post-analysis, there's discussion like "Why did Makoto try to change the signing ceremony location right before the treaty?" it would be troublesome.’
To erase critical information, they over-saturate with meaningless information.
Like Makoto, send official documents to the Tea Party with various pretexts.
‘And Hasumi will imprint other information on her mind.’
There is a countermeasure prepared for Hasumi.
“Iroha, prepare ‘that’.”
“Yes, understood.”
I instructed Iroha to bring that.
I prepared a countermeasure suitable for that huge woman.
‘Originally, it would have been Hasumi's explosion due to complex about the word "huge woman" that would ruin the meeting itself.’
The forbidden keyword, huge woman, was not mentioned.
Eventually, the ‘that’ I prepared was transported to the conference hall.
“This, this is...”
Hasumi couldn't hide her surprised expression.
Because countless desserts were being poured out on serving carts.
Butter pudding, shortcake Baumkuchen, cheese tart, tiramisu cake, orange madeleine, chocolate croquant, matcha crepe.
And as the finale, a limited parfait from a famous dessert cafe.
“Since you came all the way to Gehenna, I prepared a generous spread of sweets. Feel free to enjoy them to your heart's content.”
It was the result considering Hasumi's sweet tooth. I intended to stuff her full.
Enough to forget the content of today's meeting.
“Have you ever heard such words?”
I whispered a sweet temptation to Hasumi.
“Desserts are said to be 0 calories if they taste good.”
There is no denying the proposal.
It's that desserts are like that for Hasumi.
By the way, Hasumi completely finished and ate the desserts that the Pandemonium Society had ambitiously prepared.
After that, according to information that the Pandemonium Society's operatives had investigated,
Hasumi, who returned to Trinity, declared dieting while fiercely denouncing Gehenna and the Pandemonium Society.
