Chapter 193.2: Committee Member And Person In Charge II

Though one might call this persecution complex… I never wanted to entrust my back to the members of the Souma faction again, ever.

From what I had seen so far, Takanashi Kotori emanated the same vibe as that bitch Reina, and though I felt it was natural for a girl to be purely scared, the fact that I had no idea what she was thinking about made me realize that she hated me so much, enough to kill me.

In fact, I was unwilling to give her an important position such as the one in charge of our armament, our literal lifeline during the battle, but I had no choice since her vocation,『Sage』, was the only vocation to allow that. It was impossible to swap her with another person.

That’s why I had to use her, but I would never let my guard down.

「Well then, good luck everyo~ne.」

I sent off everyone onto their respective hunting ground as they were wrapped in the light of the teleportation circle while brooding over the problem with Takanashi Kotori.

With that, there were only me, Mei-chan, Randou-san, Class Rep, Tendou-kun, and the operator of the teleportation circle, Takanashi Kotori.

Class Rep couldn’t afford to leave since she was in charge of Tendou-kun, we had to work together to prepare suitable living space in this tower.

「What are you going to do after this, Tendou-kun? Are you going to take a nap?」

「I’m not a NEET.」

Tendou-kun, who got a mouthful of information from the person in charge of him only a while ago, replied quite frankly without beating around the bush with a tired look on his face.

「I’m going to visit that shitty snake’s nest.」

「Then, take me and Randou-san along with you.」

「Eh, me too!?」

From the look on her face, she was obviously reluctant to walk for another two hours. Well, the matter of assigning her the job to make the base for 『Witch’s Kettle』 aside, I actually had a main job for her――

「BUHAA!」

「Momokawa~, I don’t want to walk that far agai~n.」

Randou-san suddenly ambushed me from behind, playing with my cheeks.

「A~h geez, let me go!」

「Meanie~」

「Can’t be helped then, ride on Alfa’s back with me.」

「What’s that?」

「I mean that.」

「Kuaa!」

I pointed at Alfa who responded with a roar.

「Riding… On that?!」

「It’s a new car that I obtained by betting on my life after all. Worry not, the inside is Rem.」

「I see~, Rem-chin’s new form eh.」

I was really grateful for times like this since she already knew about Rem. Rather, what’s with that adorable name, Randou-san?

「Well then, I’m going first~」

「Ah, wait a minute Tendou-kun! We’ll go after Randou-san makes the kettle.」

「The heck is that?」

「 It’s a kettle.」

「Meanwhile, Tendou-kun, you can ask Takanashi-san to make a copy of your last cigarette.」

「Almost forgot about that.」

""

Great, that’ll be enough to keep him in this place!

「Can you do that, Takanashi?」

「Hiiii!?」

「Ryuuichi, you still have a leeway to smoke in this kind of situation?」

「Let it go already, Ryoko. Rules like that only work in the school――」

Good job, in charge of Tendou-kun. Do your best to keep him busy with the usual lover’s quarrel.

「Well, let’s finish making 『Witch’s Kettle』 ASAP.」

Just look, I mean, Randou-san seemed to doubt the might of the kettle too. With her power as a geomancer, we could easily manufacture kettle of any size and kind. And, it was included in my plan to defeat Yamato No Orochi.

TN: Why don’t he make a giant kettle and “cook” Yamata no Orochi inside?
