"Haa, haa, haa......Nearly lost my life there......"
"Did, didn't think that Ironman......would, would actually appear at that kind of place......"
We're back in Class F. Yuuji and I were having a life and death battle at the 3rd floor of the new school building. We never expected Ironman to appear suddenly, and we barely escaped from him before returning to our class.
"But, our, our objective......can be considered......accomplished......"
"That's, that's right......the, the other students should've seen it......right......"
Before the long chase with the muscular, evil looking Ironman, students from Class A to D came out to the corridor to see what all the ruckus was about. Just like this, Yuuji's goal is accomplished.
"Hoo......I think we wasted a lot of time, but we are still right on schedule. Is Muttsurini back?
"I'll take a look......"
I looked around the classroom, and Muttsurini happened to return as his profile came in sight.
"Oh, so you're back. How's the mission of the false reports?"
"......Everything is going according to plan."
Not showing off deliberately, Muttsurini gave us a straight answer.
How should I say though? He looks rather professional now.
".......Just say what is needed to be done next."
"Good. Let's wait for Himeji to return, and then we'll take the next step."
Himeji-san was nowhere in the class, so she must still be busy making that jelly. If I could help it, I really hope that Himeji-san will be merciful.
"As I was saying, Yuuji, you actually thought through so much just to make her cook. What do you actually want to do?"
You still want Himeji-san to cook in such a critical situation. I don't think it's just to get back at me, is it? I think Yuuji probably got some trick up his sleeves.
"Himeji's food will be our assassination weapon."
If the person herself personally heard such an explanation, she'd be really hurt.
"Assassination weapon? On who?"
"That B class guy, of course."
"But, will Nemoto-kun eat what we give him? He will be suspicious of our movements."
Due to Nemoto-kun's personality, it wouldn't work, even if it's someone else other than us. I couldn't think of any way to make him eat it easily.
"No, our target isn't Nemoto. Even if we assassinate him, we can't stop Class B's operation."
I thought about the intel that Muttsurini brought. Nemoto-kun already gave the order for war by that time, so even if he's down now, it wouldn't stop anything.
"Our actual target is the messenger sent by Class B to Class D. I think Class B is trying to form an alliance with Class D."
"Alliance?"
"Once the false reports Muttsurini spreads reaches their ears, Class B will commence their counter. At that time they'll really find Class D to start an alliance. If just sending a messenger can prevent a war from happening, I think they'd do it."
I see. Class B will try to negotiate secretly with Class D just to evade an upcoming war.
"Eh? Wouldn't it be worse this way? If the Class B messenger were to start an alliance with Class D, wouldn't our false reports of 'Class D impending attack on Class B' be found out?"
If they were to find out about the false reports that we spread, our plan to buy time will fail. The guys from class B have nearly finished replenishing their points. Won't we be waiting for our deaths?
"That's why I need Class B's messenger assassinated. If that messenger is down for the count, Class B will acknowledge the hostility of Class D towards them. If so, they can't form an alliance, and it'll also increase the suspicion towards each other."
How can this guy think of such treacherous ideas? From this day on, I'll be careful not to become his enemy.
"But, if you are to assassinate him, why not with a taser? I don't think you have to trouble Himeji-san to cook just to poison him."
"If we use a taser, his cries will be heard, and we'll be caught."
"Just cover his mouth then."
"Are you a moron? If we do it that way, we'd be electrocuted too."
"But......"
Even without using Himeji-san's food, there should be other methods to assassinate that messenger.
"Don't think too much. I chose Himeji's food just to fulfill my personal interest."
Just when Yuuji's saying this line that totally inhumane and lacks empathy for my life-
"Eh? Sakamoto-kun, you really like my food?"
Himeji-san accidentally overhears his words.
"Hi,hihi......Himeji......"
*screech**screech**screech*, Yuuji turned his head slowly and clumsily like a robot to look at Himeji-san.
"That's good, to hear you say that, I feel really happy. But if Kirishima-san were to know about it, I think she'd be angry."
Himeji then smiled happily.
"Ha,haha,ha......"
I silently put my hand on Yuuji's shoulder to console him.
"Welcome to my world (thumbs up)."
"You damn bastard, what's with that hearty smile of yours that pisses me off?!"
Just like this, I have someone to accompany me. For this trip to hell, the more the merrier.
"I've also prepared Sakamoto-kun's share. We'll eat together if you guys don't mind."
Himeji gave us the jelly drink in packets while smiling.
"So, so uh......thanks for the trouble, I'll keep it until I'm hungry."
"Me, me too, thank you, Himeji-san."
"No problem, it's no big deal."
Himeji-san is just so innocent, which is why I can't bear to say 'hope you'll cook something that tastes good'. I wouldn't mind if it doesn't taste really good, I just hope that she won't make any more of those horrifying foods that make us stand on the line between life and death.
"If so, Akihisa, Muttsurini, let's go."
"Understood."
"......Sure."
We carried our weapons in our hands and headed to the new school building where Class A to D are.
