Vol 1 Chapter 13 (2/2)
“How is the level decided?
“When I say that you don’t need to worry when I’e? So, when the time comes for you to need to know about it, you can ask someone then”
“Perhaps, you don’t know very much about it?”
“Th-th-th-that’s not it”
shi+rley’s vision wavered, alerous since they were cli the stairs
“Well, everything will be explained when I get to the staff roohed
shi+rley suddenly placed her finger on the tip of his nose
She wore a serious expression
“You only need one thing, and that’s a positive attitude! I don’t discri like that!”
“…Understood”
shi+rley gave him a smile as she turned around
It seemed to be natural that Masaki, who had just awakened, still had a low level She must have been worried about hi them, since he felt their relationshi+p wasn’t equal anymore
There were still more stairs ahead of them
He decided to change the topic
“That reet into?”
“My cos… we do rounds to s to people who break the rules of the acades”
“Is it the public morals committee?”
“It’s a bit like that However, our na than that!”
“What is it?”
“It’s Breaker” She blushed slightly as she said it
It’s a rather over-the-top na?
“Well, apart from the name… I think it’s shi+rleyish”
“shi+rleyish?”
“When ere kids, you disliked unlawful things When it caer than me, but you were just the kind of person who could face the an ally of justice or just reckless? At any rate, you acted rashly Do you remember?”
“Nihaha, I guess it was like that… well, it usually didn’t go very well”
“You were clus?”
“Only a little”
Her bitter se darkness behind it It was an expression that she never
Maybe she got into some kind of trouble
She probably couldn’t say anything to Masaki since he had just arrived at the school, but–
“shi+rley, I think it’s best if you do what you think is right”
“Hm? Oh, I think so, too… thanks, Masaki!”
She shook off the dark atht smile that she had since she was an elementary school student
A high-pitched electronic sound rang out
The sharp sound repeated, assaulting the ears of the pair and echoing through the wide stairwell
shi+rley lifted up her left arraved rose adorned with a violet crystal
The sound stopped once she placed her right hand on it, and a translucent board appeared in the previously empty space above it This wasn’t some kind of illusion – it was purely the product of science
The holographic screen displayed “EMERGENCY” in large, red letters
“An eency!?”
Her expression froze
“What’s wrong?”
“There’s trouble in the school building… what aot a dispatch request from the committee”
Her eyes darted back and forth between theand Masaki
He was able to roughly guess as troubling her
“What are you worried about? If it’s me, then you don’t need to worry I’et lost in the school”
“Y-yeah”
“You’re being called, aren’t you? Isn’t it an eency?”
“Yeah”
“Then get going!” Masaki declared firet to the staff rooet there, as they were currently on the 25th floor
The doubt disappeared fro seriousness in its place
“Thanks, Masaki I’ll be going now I’!”
“It’s alright After you’re done, I’d like it if you’d show me around some other places – especially the shop where they sell delicious cakes”
“Of course! You really like cakes, Masaki! See you later!”
shi+rley gave a nod then ran off
She’s fast!
As he resumed his climb, she rushed into the corridor on the 26th floor with her bracelet held close to her ear
“It’s shi+rley Fill me in on the situation!”
He didn’t hear her colleague’s response as her footsteps quickly faded down the corridor
