Chapter 184.1: Gathering 2

「… Fuuh.」

Finally, Randou-san stopped crying and let go of me, giving me room to breathe.

Man, I was deeply moved right now since I was embraced so passionately. I mean, from the way she embraced me, Randou-san was clearly extremely worried about me. I thought she was the easy-going type, but it turned out I was wrong— she was an extremely passionate type.

Or something like that. That said, the matter of me becoming emotionally moved was simply because I had survived from being suffocated to death by her light-brown twin valley. I mean, my train of thought got short-circuited when she embraced me. What? Souma Yuuto? He’s just a trivial matter compared to big boobs!

I felt bad for Randou-san who got so emotional upon our reunion, but my train of thought had always short-circuited whenever I saw big boobs and got embraced by them.

Anyhow, that’s the end of bonus time, now was the time to get serious.

We were thrust into a precarious situation as soon as we transferred, namely a reunion with hero-sama’s party led by Souma Yuuto… But, it wasn’t the worst situation. Rather, we had the high ground.

Yes, another party aside from Souma party had already gathered in this huge fairy plaza. There was Tendou’s Yankee Team which included Randou-san, and the Totem Pole Trio plus one who I missed. In addition, the duo, Himeno Airi and Nakajima Haruma, were also here.

Including Mei-chan and me, there were currently 18 classmates gathered in this place.

Since there were 41 students in classes 2-7, it meant that around half of them had already been gathered in this place. This might be the first time for so many people to gather at once in one place for dungeon capture.

Excluding the Hime-Naka duo, I had already met everyone in this place. In short, the chance of something unexpected happening was low. And most of all, a majority of them had a favourable relationship with me thanks to my effort.

Thus, in this situation, in which many people gathered in this place, I had the advantage. Even Souma Yuuto, who had already calmed down, could understand the situation.

「Yo, long time no see, Tendou-kun. Do you still have your cigarette?」

「You seem to be as lively as ever huh, Momokawa. Never expected you’d be this tenacious. Only left with one. Do want me to do something about it?」

The first thing I had to do upon arriving was suck up to Tendou Ryuichi, the owner of cheat class vocation who could rival Souma Yuuto’s 『Hero』.

I had no idea what kind of vocation or abilities were granted to Tendou-kun by his vocation, but he had displayed numerous abilities back then. To be honest, even I was not sure whether Mei-chan could win against Tendou-kun.

And I had already built a favourable relationship with that powerful Tendou-kun. Going by his personality, no matter how much Souma Yuuto painted me as the worst villain who killed Reina, Tendou wouldn’t just simply believe him.

And the proof of that was the curt tone he used to greet me, that was the normal and usual way he used to greet me.

Thus, I’d confirmed now that Tendou-kun wasn’t hostile toward me. Fufufu, I won.

「It should be possible to produce more if you ask Takanashi-san who has the ability to copy small things.」

「I see, my decision to keep the last one is correct after all.」

「I’m more surprised to see you in such misery due to a single cigarette.」

「Oh shut up.」

And so, while having such a relaxing conversation, I moved in closer to Tendou’s side. Seeing that, Randou-san was also coming closer along with Mei-chan in order to hide me from Souma party.

With this, Souma’s sibling wouldn’t be able to attack me even if I suddenly made a verbal slip. Seriously, could they bring themselves to involve Tendou-kun and Randou-san?

「It’s good to see you two safe too, Nonomiya-san, Yoshizaki-san.」

「You too, Momokawa.」

「I’m quite surprised to see you survived that spider.」

Randou-san’s girlfriends, Juri-Mari combi, were also pleased with our reunion.

Well, after the event in which I taught them the proper way to fight, I managed to get along with them. They’re reliable comrades-in-arms who fought alongside me during the siege of Jira army in the underground lake.

「Shimokawa-kun and Co seem to be safe and sound too. Were you by chance, in the middle of quarrelling or something?」

「Ye-Yeah, and your timely arrival has saved the skin on our necks.」

「We’ve been waiting for you, you know!」

「Your timing is superb!」

And just like I thought, they, who were quarrelling with Souma party, were running up to me immediately. The Totem Pole Trio revealed a relieved look on their face.

Wait a minute, how come Yamada-kun fell asleep in this situation? Did he by chance, tire to death?… Well, let’s leave him aside for now.

「Mei-chan!」

「Are you sure?」

「It’s okay. I’m safe now.」

People were gathering around me in the blink of an eye. Mei-chan walked a little away from me after I told her that I was safe now.

「Hime-chan, thank God you’re safe!」

「Ah, u-uhm… Rather, you’re Futaba-chan, right?」

Now that Mei-chan was freed from her duty as my bodyguard and had nothing to do, she went to greet the Hime-Naka couple.

Anyhow, Mei-chan was Himeno-san’s true friend, after all. They belonged to the same group of friends and have always been together in class. And this was a fact that was well known even by me.

Since they’d been a friend from the very beginning, Mei-chan could easily take them into our group as soon as they met. Let’s make full use of their friendship.

「Uhm, do I look different just because I got a little bit slimmer?」

「A little… Bit?」

And there you go, Himeno-san was tossing the usual retort to anyone who had yet to see Mei-chan(slim version). Her personality had undergone more earth-shattering changes than her appearance, but since I knew that she was the true friend of Futaba Meiko, I was sure that they would get along just like before.

「Nakajima-kun, you’ve been protecting Hime-chan all along, right? Thank you very much.」

「No, I’m just, uhm…」

Nakajima-kun, the recipient of words of gratitude from Mei-chan, who had transformed into a bombshell, was truly hilarious. Well, I understand what you feel dude.

But still, I also knew that his line of sight went to and fro Mei-chan’s beautiful face and out of standard bazongaas. No normal man could escape from its deadly temptation, yeah normal man. Well, in my case, I would be glaring at them though.

「I’m really glad to be able to reunite with everyone safely like this.」

Well then, the classmates in this place, everyone but Souma party had come to my side. Naturally, I wouldn’t expect them to trust me as Mei-chan did but―― This spectacle alone should be enough to make Souma Yuuto understand the situation. The only ones who want to kill me are just you and your little sister.

Since everyone gathered around me as they gave their greeting, it was enough to make it clear about their relationship with me. At least, none of them was hostile to me.

In short, you know what it means to kill me in this place just because you are upset about Reina’s dead, right? Or, did the siblings have to kill the other classmates too just to kill me?

Well, that was a trivial matter. Even if they chose to do the latter, the Souma siblings would be chased out so that they wouldn’t become a hindrance.

But, there was no way this pair of siblings could do that. I mean, they’re the honourable 『Hero』 and 『Saint』 after all.

「Class Rep.」

「What’s the matter… Momokawa-kun?」

After I gained the absolute protection zone called the classmate barrier, I called out to the class rep who seemed like she had been waiting for this.

I ignored the Souma siblings. I mean, trying to make sense of people who seem like they’re about to be consumed by their own rage was a literal waste of time.

「It seems everyone has been transferred to this place, and both sides don’t seem to be aware of each other’s situation yet.」

「Yeah, it’s just as you said. Himeno-san’s group and Shimokawa-kun’s group just arrived a while ago too.」

「Then, I guess other classmates will join us soon.」

「Well, I am not sure about that.」

It was obvious from her expression that Class Rep had already been on the edge with the appearance of the oversized bomb called me who could trigger the Souma siblings to rampage anytime soon.

She looked anxious, maybe because she had no idea what I was trying to say next. And then, her gaze silently moved toward Mei-chan who stood warily beside me.

And not just that. Everyone was looking at us- Mei-chan and me who played the central role in this drama- and understood that Souma’s side was at a numerical disadvantage. One small mistake would cause the overwhelming pressure to explode like a volcanic eruption, which was all clear from the expression of the class rep.

I had yet to say anything, other than that threatening remark.

But, Class Rep, you know right? You know what would happen if you let the Souma siblings act according to their rage, right?

「Well, everyone seems to have many things to say, but I think we should sit down first and talk to each other with a cool head.」

「How dare you to say that so brazenly!」

「Sakura shut up!」

Class Rep shouted as her face was drenched in a cold sweat.

Yeah, good job, Class Rep. It’s a good thing you understood your job.
