Chapter 256: The Encounter of Fates (Part 2)


    No matter what, there is one thing that will never change, and that is thebond between family members.


    Shinji does this to Sakura and Fujino, and Mikiya does the same to Azaka——


    "Azaka, tell me more. Although I probably can''t cause trouble at the academy like Shinji, I can still arrange for you to transfer schools, and if all else fails, we can return home."


    For the sake of his current job, Mikiya made the firm decision to drop out of university. Whenconsidering theparison betweenan unregistered underground office and a top-tier university in the Tokyo metropolitan area, it is clear which is more important and which is superior or inferior.


    Nonormalparent would support their child dropping out of school to work in an underground office with no visible future. Not to mention that this office only has two employees, Fujino, Shinji, and Sakura, including the boss, who are all helping out without formal registration.


    The entire Kokutou family never expected that even the usually obedient and well-behaved Mikiya would go against everyone''s advice this time, refusing to listen to anyone and ultimately causing a falling out with the family.Now, forthe sake of his sister, Mikiya is willing to return to the estranged home, which clearly shows his concern for her.


    Girls with tsundere personalities like Azaka are most afraid of unintentionally direct approaches from boys. Suddenly, all the "tsun"pletelydisappears, leaving behindonly the "dere."


    "Hmph~ You''re meddling in other people''s affairs, but since you''ve said it that way, I reluctantly suppose I can tell you."


    —Truly a textbook example of a "Tsundere" response.


    Shinji silently sighed in his heart, along with Mikiya, who had finished tidying up the coffee table, listening to the biggest scandal in the history of the Reien Girl''s Academy.


    The Reien Girl''s Academy, where Fujino, Sakura, and Azaka, three characters representing little sisters, are enrolled, is a prestigious girls'' school established by the (Christian) Church.Its main campus islocatedin Ennd, while the branch campusisestablishedin the suburbs of Mifune City.Although students and teachersare notpelledto have a particr faith, the school maintains and enforces the conservative atmosphere typical of church-affiliated institutions.


    The school''s atmosphere is strict, andit could be said that it focusesmore on training nuns rather than cultivating noble youngdies. Shinji had once seen the thick volume of school regtions that Sakura brought home, which was thicker than all the rules and regtions of the schools he attended in his previous lifebined, and it made his scalp tingle.


    However, the school''s hardware and software facilities areindeedexcellent, much better than their hometown of Fuyuki City. Sakura and Fujinoe from prestigious families and have received a refined (Yamato Nadeshiko-style) education since childhood. They are notaverseto strict school regtions, so Shinji doesn''t need to worry as long as they can enjoy a pleasant campus life.


    Hardly anyone could have imagined that this seemingly virtuous and pure women''s academy would be involved in a scandal rted topensated dating. If the allegations are true, they could destroy this long-standing women''s academy overnight.


    Thisis not an exaggeration. Because it is an elite school, only those with sufficient financial resources and social status can send their daughters there. Even if only a portion of the parents unite, their collective influence would be more than the school administration can handle, not to mention that the instigator of thepensated dating incident is thechairman''syounger brother, Hideo Hayama. No one would believe it if they said it had nothing to do with the school.


    Based on Azaka''s investigation during this time, Hideo Hayama is a worthless scumbag. Students say he doesn''t have a teaching license and didn''t even graduate from high school.It''s onlythanks to his brother''s connectionsthat hebecame the homeroom teacher for ss 1-4 at this renowned girls'' school.What''s even more infuriating is that this ipetent waste of space isnot satisfiedwith his current positionand isdetermined to be the principal.The students ofss 1-4allknow his catchphrase, "Why won''t my brother let me be the principal?"


    Whetherit''sfor money or other reasons, Hideo Hayama started arrangingpensated dating activities with his students. At first, he may have exploited the rebellious psychology of the girls. The lifestyle atReien Girl''s Academy is synonymous with "abstinence," so for some girls who havebeen repressedfor a long time, Hideo''s proposal is as tempting as the snake''s temptation to Adam and Eve.


    With a growing base of supporters and a taste of sess, Hideo Hayama began expanding his hunting grounds and using more vulgar methods.Tolure more students into his scheme, he resorted to various despicable tactics.Throughout this process, the students of ss 1-4 maintained an iprehensible unity, guarding this hiddensecret,until Hideo targeted a girl named Kaori Tachibana.


    Kaori Tachibana is a devout Christian who has be ustomed to the life of a nun. She would never sumb to Hideo''s temptations. To drag her down, one night, Hideo broke into her dormitory to assault her.


    Kaori Tachibana cried out for help and prayed to God, but it was futile. The dormitory had good soundproofing, and her roommate and nearby ssmates had be aplices to Hideo. How could her lone strength withstand the power of a group?


    Just as the girl was about to fall into the clutches of the scumbag, a hero appeared — it was by chance that Fujino happened to pass by. Fujino hasa pair ofexceptional eyes, and with a casual nce from a distance, she saw what was happening inside the dormitory through the curtains. Although she couldn''t see the faces of the people involved clearly, Fujino could determine that a man had ill intentions towards her fellow female students.


    So, Fujino used her Mystic Eyes to shatter the windows of the dormitory, the sound of breaking ss resonating in the empty building. The dormitory supervisor, a nun, arrived shortly after.


    This action was very clever.Itnot only saved Kaori Tachibana but alsodidn''t expose Fujino''s supernatural abilities.


    The only regret was thatwhen the nun arrived,Hideo Hayama had already escaped, leaving behind adisheveledand unconscious Kaori Tachibana.Before leaving, the pervert Hideo Hayama hit her to ensure that she wouldn''t expose the incident.


    On the other hand, after confirming that Kaori Tachibana was not in danger, Fujino returned to the dormitory and informed her friend, Azaka Kokutou, about the situation.


    A man invading the girls'' dormitory and attempting to assault a female ssmate?Thiswas uneptable! Azaka was furious upon hearing the news. Despite her brotherplex, she was fundamentally a good girl with the spirit and sense of justicethat ayoung person should have. She was determined to take action in this matter.


    After Kaori Tachibana regained consciousness, Azaka and Fujino quietly approached her. Learning that Fujino was the one who had saved her, Kaori Tachibana confided in them and revealed everything.


    Upon hearing that the mastermind was Hideo Hayama, the homeroom teacher of ss 1-4, and that he had implicated the entire ss, Azaka knew they couldn''t act rashly. Without evidence, it would bedifficultto take down Hideo Hayama, especially when theentiress was providing him with cover. They needed to n carefully.


    In the following days, Azaka hid Kaori Tachibana in herdormitory,while Fujino, who wasstrongerand more experienced, personally protected her to ensure her safety. They created the illusion of the victim going missing to deceive Hideo Hayama. Meanwhile, Azaka used her social connections and extensiveworkto secretly investigate and gather evidence within the school. They were preparing to expose thismajorscandal, bring justice to Kaori Tachibana, and restore peace to the academy.


    Now, they had collected enough evidence, and Azaka Kokutou was determined to bring the scumbag Yezawa to justice.
