The Vampire, the Oni and the Ninja (2/2)

「Meaning, most of the class have been found then?」

To Kusama-kun’s reply, Kyouya-kun responded. Unlike me, Kyouya-kun had friends, and maybe there’s someone he’d like to meet.

「Yeah. The majority are at the elf village though, but Ogi infiltrated and was able to determine the identity of everyone there. There’s also several enrolled in the academy at a neighbouring country, and we’ve also identified them. Then, at the previous conference there was the three of you reincarnators right? Certainly we hadn’t identified you yet, and the list wasn’t completed yet, but I could tell who Sasa, er, Wrath was from his face, and the same with Wakaba-san. Then, since it seemed that the only girl who hadn’t been found was Negishi-san, by a process of elimination I figured she was probably Negishi-san.」

「Ogi did?」

「Ah, I shouldn’t have said that.」

I wonder if this guy’s okay? I feel that he just leaked some pretty important information without batting an eyelid though.

「P, please act like you didn’t hear that. Okay? Okay?」

「Sure. Well, we’re already cooperating with regards to the elves so I guess it’s probably okay?」

「Yes! Safe!」

You’re not safe. While Kyouya-kun did say that it’s okay he didn’t say anything about not having heard it. This guy might be hopeless.

「Incidentally, is it possible to show me that list?」

「Sure, no problem. I have a copy, so wait a sec.」

Saying so Kusama-kun moved aside a pile of rubbish. Is this really okay? Isn’t that more or less some kind of secret document? Just because we’re all reincarnators here surely that doesn’t mean it’s okay to blithely hand it over so easily?

「Found it, found it. I have pen and paper so feel free to make a copy.」

I’m not particularly interested, but Kyouya-kun is making a copy of that paper with a serious expression. He’s completely different to me who has no lingering attachment to my previous life.

「Thank you. You were a great help.」

「You’re welcome!」

Kyouya-kun hands back the original note to Kusama-kun.

「Afterwards, I’ll have to show this to Shiro-san as well.」

Somehow or other I give a start when that name is said. Ah, that’s right. I was told by goshujin-sama that they’re going to return so I need to fetch Kyouya-kun. This is bad. With everything that was going on here quite a lot of time has elapsed. Goshujin-sama might be getting irritated at having to wait about now.

「Kyouya-kun, if you’re done then it’s about time we return. Ariel-san and the others are already waiting.」

「Sophia-san, how many times do I have to tell you that I don’t want to be called by my name?」

I ignore what Kyouya-kun is saying with a frown. Since I’m deliberately calling him Kyouya-kun as harassment, there’s no way I’d stop if asked is there.

「Let’s go already. If you don’t come then you’ll be left here.」

I promptly turn around and head towards the previous conference room. Outside the door is a person from the church who guided me here. Not only that, I sense the presence of what feels like human dark-ops hiding in the shadows monitoring us, but I’ll ignore them unless they make a move on us. There’s no way that they would allow an outsider, or rather someone who could practically be called an enemy, to walk around freely without monitoring them. I’m sure that they heard the conversation in Kusama-kun’s room as well. Kusama-kun, are you going to be okay? I’m sure you won’t be killed, but you’ll probably be severely scolded at least. Well, it’s nothing to do with me. I expel Kusama-kun’s situation from my mind and quickly head back to where goshujin-sama is.

Pope「Our ninja is so rubbish that it’s dangerous.」
