COTE X Re: Zero: A Demon's Isekai

The Horny trio, reinvented.

Flashback to a few hours after Ayanokouji disappeared, back in ANHS:

"Kukuku, now that's an expression that always looks good on you, Suzune." I chuckled, arriving at what was considered to be the crime scene of the Monster's disappearance. Speaking of Suzune, she was in a pretty shitty situation. She was shaking, barely able to stand as her eyes were read and her face was puffy, no doubt from crying her eyes out. I looked around the gathering, impressed. Ichinose, Ms. Fairy Tail of Class D was right here, her eyes just as red as Suzune's, and she had her back to the wall, barely able to stand. 

The next ones were some others from Suzune's class. The Monster's girlfriend, Karuizawa was there, along with her former boytoy, Hirata, and Sudog of course. From Class A, of course the Fufu Loli had made an appearance. Her eyes and nose were a little red, but the brat still carried herself like she always does. At least someone else isn't as shaken up about it. Behind her, was the resident Snek, and her ever faithful secretary Beer-chan. With me, were of course, Albert, Ishizaki and Ibuki. 

"Shut up, Ryuuen." Suzune glared at me, as she always does. "I have no time for this today." 

"Heh, then it's a good thing I don't either." I told her. She looked at me, shocked. "What? Didn't expect me to care a damn, did you? Of course, you all useless fucks think I'm some heartless bastard." 

"Can you blame us?" Karuizawa glared at me. Eh, guess she's still salty about what happened.

"Wasn't a big deal blondie." I waved it off. "It was never personal. Just a little leader to leader dispute that you got caught in." 

"As if you're worthy of being a leader capable of challenging him, fufu." Sakayanagi rolled her eyes. 

"Oh I know your loli looking ass isn't talking." I glared at her. "The monster and I had a chat some time ago, you know? Apparently, you can't even win an exam without someone else interfering for you."

Sakayanagi stood up straighter, her glare a bit more fierce as she looked at me. 

"I highly doubt Ayanokouji-kun divulged that information to you." She told me. Damn, she got me there.

"That's because he didn't." I said, giving her an honest answer. "I stopped by the Acting Chairman's place earlier. Now that man is having an elite level meltdown right now, and he let a few things slip."

"Can we focus?" Ichinose asked us, her voice a little louder than usual. "Can we all, for once, forget about our rivalries, and actually help each other?" 

"Ibuki." I called out to her. "You heard the girl. Go with her, blondie and Suzune, get a look at the CCTV footage." 

"And what makes you think the school will just let us take a look?" Ibuki rolled her eyes. 

"Oh, I know they won't." I told her. "Whoever the guy is, I expect you to kick him in the nuts and force him to. These girls are too whiny to stay here, and you're the only one who could actually get answers out of you lot."

"Fuck you, I want compensation for this." Ibuki huffed angrily, but complied. She left with Horikita and Ichinose shortly after. 

"Sending the more emotionally attached ones away to get an objective look at things?" Sakayanagi deduced. "You are smarter than I give you credit for." 

"Of course I am." I told her. "That stick that you walk with is lodged so far up your ass all you do is look down at people." I told her, turning to my other two cronies. 

"Albert, Ishizaki. Take Snek and the other lackeys over there and check out the perimeter." I ordered them. "The monster won't just up and disappear like that. Suzune is probably in shock and there may not have been a scuffle, but he must have left a clue."
