The Pandemonium Society's Daily Saga (9)
The clouds had lifted.
The teacher, who had launched a counterattack against the Arius Squad, overlaid the regulations of the 【Eden Treaty】.
He established a new Eden Treaty Organization to oppose Arius's Eden Treaty Organization.
The guardian of the regulations no longer followed Arius's control. The teacher had reversed the treaty.
A direct confrontation with the Arius Squad. Overcoming the final battle against Jerome in succession.
Thus, the narrative of the 【Eden Treaty】 came to an end.
This marks the conclusion of the events.
I returned to a peaceful daily life.
“...... The peaceful side seems right.”
Even though the workload had been unusually piled up.
In the Pandemonium Society's office.
I reviewed the reports with dull eyes. The documents showed no signs of stopping due to the post-processing of the 【Eden Treaty】.
'I want to see Hina.'
The night I had spent with Hina was painfully missed.
Since that day, I had not been able to meet Hina.
Due to discussions on additional budget, I had to face Ako's face far too often.
'It's still like a dream. ...... Sleeping with Hina.'
A thrilling memory had been born, but at the same time, it was a pity.
When I woke up, Hina had already left.
'That was the last time I slept. I had been too busy to even close my eyes.'
I had not left the office for dozens of hours.
Iroha, who had become haggard from the work distribution, was forcibly put on rest. I had ordered her to take a break by commanding her.
In other words, it was an approved break.
'I've finished all the urgent matters. For the next short time, it's one day, or at most two days.'
I whipped my dulled mind. It was almost over.
I reached out for the coffee cup.
“Ah?”
I grabbed the coffee cup, but my hand lacked strength.
Instead, my body tilted as if being pulled toward the coffee cup.
Whoosh. I was enveloped by the sensation of my body rising.
Clang. The sound of the coffee cup breaking was heard.
Before I knew it, I was lying on the floor.
“...... Eh, ra?”
My body would not move. My stamina had reached its limit.
'This is nothing compared to Hina's workload. I have to get up.'
I wanted to become a partner worthy of Hina.
Hina was a superhuman who worked through the night for days and handled work perfectly. So I had to push myself too.
'No. There are still things to process......'
But my body did not listen,
and I lost consciousness.
♤
The girl who found me collapsed from overwork was Iroha.
When I came to, I was transferred to the dorm.
“Makocchi-senpai.”
Iroha looked down at me lying on the bed.
“Absolute rest for the time being.”
Iroha, who forcibly imposed rest on me. In other words, Doctor Stop.
“Makocchi-senpai, didn't you feel any danger signals until your body reached that point?”
“That is......, I thought dizziness would be okay......”
It would not do to make excuses like “I endured because I wanted to work like Hina.”
I had nothing to say. I avoided Iroha's gaze.
“When you ordered me to take rest, you promised to rest too, and then lied again.”
Iroha glared at me with a pouty face.
“Anyway, Makocchi-senpai is a person who can't do without me.”
Iroha muttered while feeling responsible for me.
“I'll stop the complaints here. It would be troublesome if I pushed the patient too hard.”
Iroha's nagging finally ended.
Only then did Iroha's heart soften.
“Hey, Iroha? Today, Ako is going to visit the Pandemonium Society for the budget report......”
I asked Iroha cautiously. The unresolved work was bothering me.
“I already said it, Makocchi-senpai is absolute rest. No talking about work.”
Iroha firmly refused to return.
“No need to worry about the Pandemonium Society.”
Iroha then reassured me.
“Because there are two of you.”
At the timing when Iroha finished speaking, a girl appeared like a savior. It was none other than Hanuma Makoto.
“Relax, another me. I heard all the stories from Iroha.”
Makoto continued her words grandly.
“You can put your worries aside! From now on, this Makoto will oversee the Pandemonium Society!”
Makoto proudly declared her return.
She was in a state of high enthusiasm. Especially since she had lost weight to the target for her belly fat.
“Therefore, Makocchi-senpai, please focus on recovery.”
I had no right to refuse. Until my body condition recovered, I was stuck in place.
The Double Makoto alternated duties. The original took over. My head was in turmoil.
'If Makoto finds out about what happened with Hina, it's a big problem!?'
It was dangerous. Makoto hated Hina like an archenemy.
If Makoto met Hina, something terrible would happen.
“My body is fine! Look, I'm completely fine now!”
I shot up from the bed.
But Makoto and Iroha pushed me back to the original position. They treated me like a child with the flu.
“Another me, rely on this Makoto. Although my body had put down the presidency for a while, I am a born leader, a leader who brought infinite glory to Gehenna by taking the lead.”
Makoto enthusiastically showed her enthusiasm.
“Pain is halved when shared. So I'll gladly take half of it. We are one!”
“Even though you're like that, the original senpai has been craving only potato chips and cola until now.”
“Nuoohhh! Iroha, don't say unnecessary things! Abdominal obesity is just the final trial!”
The two girls were bickering like exchanging pleasantries.
They were genuinely worried about me. I could not refuse their goodwill.
“...... Yeah. Then, I'll ask for a favor. And Makoto.”
I grabbed Makoto's hand tightly. I had words to say to Makoto.
“First, tell me about anything related to the Prefect Team! It's a promise!”
But it backfired. When the Prefect Team was mentioned, Makoto's fighting spirit ignited.
“Kikikikit! Yeah, joy is doubled when shared, right. This Makoto will crush the Prefect Team and deliver the victory report to another me.”
Her ambition was to return after beheading the enemy's neck.
The important thing was that Makoto would crush the Prefect Team. To put it simply, middle-of-the-night.
'That's not it aaaaaaaa-!!!'
My heart was uneasy.
What if Makoto harmed Hina? Then I would be hated by Hina again.
'Think positively. The Pandemonium Society and the Prefect Team are busy cleaning up this incident. The chance that Makoto meets Hina is significantly lower.'
Until I recovered my condition, it was probably one or two days.
I hoped Makoto did not meet Hina.
I prayed earnestly.
