Chapter 84: Sisters High Tension

“Whoa, amazing…! My knowledge… my knowledge is increasing…! So much fresh data on Solciera…! Hehe, hehehehe…”

At the back of the student council room.

In a relatively clean area, we were being treated to drinks.

Well, it was just canned juice.

Also, the chairs we were sitting on were actually just stacks of paper, not proper chairs.

…Do you have to discard your humanity to enter Jilnias Academy?

“Miuye, you’ve done well! With this, we can make that field-practicing fool yield…! Hehehe. Ah, information is being engraved in my brain!”

This person might actually be dangerous.

“I’m glad I could help Luka-san! But about that… ‘Nakayoshi! Dungeon-kun’ I’d like to lend it to Factom General Academy.”

“…Huh?”

The smile on Luka-chan’s face dropped suddenly.

“I told you not to let that one go outside.”

“…Yes.”

Ah, it really was a problematic item.

Of course, that’s true. If I noticed it, the people from Jilnias Academy would definitely notice too.

Miuye quickly handed over a single memory card for Luka-chan, who was about to lecture her further.

“What’s this?”

With a look that showed she had made up her mind, Miuye said,

“This is the detailed data on the Demons Gear, Ciel, belonging to Factom General Academy.”

“……..Miuye.”

“Yes.”

Called by Luka-chan, Miuye straightened her back.

After humming for a moment, Luka-chan eventually declared loudly,

“This time, we will overlook it!”

“Thanks!”

Miuye bowed her head gratefully.

As I watched this, I quietly whispered to Toa-chan.

“Did you get permission for Nana-chan’s data?”

“Yeah. Miroku-chan wants to create a contract device. So, it seems they want to establish a partnership with Jilnias Academy through this.”

Well, if building a good relationship with the four major schools works out, that’s good.

But if we expose too much information from our side, we might end up getting absorbed.

In that case, I would just wreak havoc with Solciera.

It’s not good to let our guard down. Let’s stay vigilant!

“Miuye, it seems you’ve done an excellent job this time. From what I heard earlier, it seems there might be an entity with similarities to Solciera named Nameless.”

Luka-chan’s cheeks lifted.

She looked very delighted.

“My knowledge will further fill me…! Ah, it feels good.”

“I’m glad you’re happy.”

…Hmm.

‘What’s wrong?’

No, it’s just that Luka-chan is different from what I imagined, or rather, she isn’t the Utsumi Luka that I know.

Somehow, she’s energetic and cheerful.

Utsumi Luka was supposed to be quieter, a bit downer, and a pessimistic girl.

It used to feel like the student council president would propose something, and Luka-chan would pessimistically poke holes in it, but…

Indeed, when you meet someone in person, they can be different from what you expect from the original.

I like the other side too, but this side is nice as well.

“Also… I’m curious about the fact that you were being installed with knowledge. I don’t understand why it was you. We should examine your body, just in case. Fortunately, there are still vacancies in the beds.”

“How rare! Luka-san’s place has an opening.”

Seeing us tilt our heads at that statement, Miuye began to explain with the confidence of someone as if it were about her.

“This person is amazing! She’s a cutting-edge healer researching magical medical formulas! Her effects are immense, and there are many applications from other schools!”

“She can cure injuries and illnesses. I can test new magical formulas. A win-win. Recently, a girl from Kisou Academy came in a condition so weak she didn’t even know how she was still alive… Ah, that was quite an experience!”

With an entranced expression, Luka-chan said that.

“We’ll conduct the examination today. Please stay at the main building.”

“Yes!”

Miuye obediently nodded.

Hmm, I’ve talked about Miuye, and I know nothing about Nameless, so maybe it’s time to leave this place.

It doesn’t feel right that I’m the only one who isn’t a beautiful girl.

Just as I was thinking of standing up…

“Heard that Miuye-chan returned, but is it true!?”

A new beautiful girl appeared, knocking over papers and machines.

What’s with this beautiful girl… she’s not in my data!

‘Isn’t it the usual?’

This beautiful girl had light brown hair and fluffy long locks, looking like a future version of Miuye-chan.

Are all the beautiful girls from Jilnias Academy gathering here?

Did we hit a jackpot?

“Oh, onee-chan!”

Onee-chan!?

Miuye-chan has an older sister!?

You have the younger sister attribute too! I’m amazed.

“Geez! I was so worried! I can’t tell you how much I searched after hearing that Miuye-chan hadn’t come back!”

“You’re worrying too much! I’d appreciate it if you stopped in front of everyone. It’s embarrassing.”

Miuye’s face turned red as she was hugged by her onee-chan.

Look, Star Reader’s Staff-kun.

That’s sisterly yuri.

It’s a property determined at birth for those who have and those who don’t.

‘Oh…! Interesting…!’

That’s not something you can change through effort.

We should observe it as losers.

Well then, let’s put our hands together metaphorically.

Thankful.

“Oh, did these kids bring you back?”

“Yes. This is Toa-chan and Kei from Factom General Academy.”

“I see, thank you! I am Kūmu Kanon! I’m this child’s older sister, and a classmate of that sleepyhead over there!”

“Be quiet… Please don’t cling to me… Ugh! I can’t read the words when you shake me!”

Luka-chan finally shouted after being shaken by Kanon-chan.

Is this the flower garden of yuri at Jilnias Academy?

This is…!

“So, why didn’t Miuye-chan come home? Running away?”

At those words, the atmosphere in the room slightly clouded.

It would be cruel to have Miuye explain herself.

“I’ll explain—”

So I explained how I met Miuye-chan and came into contact with Nameless.

Kanon-chan listened in silence, but her expression was quite expressive.

By the end, she clearly seemed angry.

“In other words, there are those who did unnecessary things to Miuye-chan. The knowledge installation… I wish they would stop that.”

“And those students that expelled the party. It’s bold or foolish, given that Kanon and I exist.”

“Oh, that’s fine.”

Kanon-chan suddenly shifted her expression and said.

“Because if someone does that to Miuye-chan, they’re probably that level, right? They won’t survive at Jilnias Academy.”

Implicitly, she was saying to ignore them, that they were insignificant.

She seemed more upset with Nameless.

“By the way, a check-up at Luka-chan’s place, huh? So, we can’t pursue that incident together.”

“Huh? What incident?”

Miuye seemed happy to show interest, and Kanon-chan snorted.

“There’s a rumor that a ghost has been appearing at Jilnias Academy. It’s a terrifying rumor that those who see the ghost will also become ghosts.”

“Could it be that some monster escaped from a research facility again?”

“Or they tried to install some weird new function into the Dive Gear. A month ago, they had the ‘Mysterious! Rainbow Glowing Human,’ right? In the end, it was just a failed attempt after tinkering with the Dive Gear to allow nighttime activity.”

“You guys really have no imagination!?”

Kanon-chan clearly looked shocked.

But she quickly collected herself and turned to us.

I feel like I’m being locked on.

“Hey, hey, aren’t you interested? Let’s solve the mystery of Jilnias Academy together!”

“And yet you seem to want to hide in the lab yourself, planning to use those kids as your feet.”

Could I be used as a beautiful girl’s foot!?

I would gladly offer myself for that!

“Ahaha, it got found out? So what do you think? Forming a relationship with the great Kanon of Jilnias Academy is quite rare, you know? Not that I’m bragging, but my Dive Gear development is already booked up for the next year!”

“Ah, the Factom General Academy’s is being created by me, so please don’t steal it!”

“Oh, is that so? Hmm, then is there anything else you want? I’ll make it for you!”

Huh?

Seriously? Is this a lucky turn for the TS machine!?

Hey, hey, hey, the tailwind is blowing my way!

Alright, let’s just come up with an excuse and ask for a TS machine!

“Well, I… for now, don’t need anything…” …Right.

Toa-chan, how humble…

“And even without that, we’ll lend our strength.”

“Huh?”

I looked at Toa-chan’s face.

She looked filled with determination.

“Perhaps we could grasp a clue about Nameless through the ghost incident, right? We should bring back some information… And…”

Toa-chan leaned quietly to whisper in my ear.

A beautiful girl’s whispering voice!!!!!!!

“If we create a favor here, we might be able to use it favorably with Miroku-chan later.”

So kind and wise!

One million points for being a beautiful girl!

‘Don’t you think it’s presumptuous to rate beautiful girls?’

Point system, abolished!!!!

By the way… a ghost incident.

‘Are you concerned?’

Ah.

Considering Miuye-chan’s banishment, the timing is just too perfect.

A request from a close relative.

A clear orchestrator in the form of her sister.

If we were to meta-analyze, this is probably the first story of a spin-off.

In that case, Nameless doesn’t seem to fit as an involved party in the spin-off.

Because of that, Miuye-chan is unable to participate in the ghost incident, and the story is getting tangled.

Knowing about Solciera, using the same magic, the setting has too much noise for a spin-off.

To put it simply, that character feels out of place.

That being the case, even if I stick my neck into the ghost incident, I likely won’t learn anything about Nameless.

It’d still be more probable to stay with Miuye-chan.

As I thought that, I noticed a shadow before me.

“Hmm?”

It was Kanon-chan, arms wide open.

“Then, I’ll leave it to you, my new assistants!”

With a bright spread of her arms, Kanon-chan hugged both me and Toa-chan.

Ah, no!

Having a big chest is even worse!

‘Refusal to deliberate! Death penalty!’

I haven’t said anything yet!?
