Tatsuya, who should be stuck with his sister like glue (that was only
the wild mass guessing from their teammates), was summoned to the
entrance of the grounds shortly after the two departed.
"Ono-sensei, thank you for your hard work."
Haruka was the one who called him out here.
"Hey, saying thank you for your hard work to an elder...... You're
aware of what you're saying, right?"
At Tatsuya's mischievous smirk, Haruka's shoulders drooped
helplessly.
"......I guess that's what my position has turned into...... A supporting
actor whose secrets have been exposed, only to be buried within the
'ignorant masses'......"
"What are you talking about. You're spouting nonsense."
"No worries. I'm a nonsensical woman anyway."
"......I think it's about time you returned what I placed in your keeping.
I don't have much time."
Seeing Tatsuya reach out a hand, Haruka playfully sighed.
Even if she didn't say it, her expression clearly said: "Can't you
cooperate a little." Despite this, she understood that time was of the
essence, so she obediently handed the electric carrier (carry-on
baggage with electric wheels attached to facilitate movement) over to
Tatsuya.
"Seriously...... I really wish someone would actually reward me a
little. I'm a life counselor, not an errand boy."
"Our sensei was the one who asked Ono-sensei to do this, not me.
Still...... Let me think for a moment. If you're unhappy with these
trivial tasks, allow me to ask you something more in line with your
actual job."
"No, it's not like I wanted an actual task."
"It's tax-free income...... You really don't want it?"
Haruka's eyes sparkled with an easily understood wavering.
......Is this sort of kind disposition (and not "personality") truly suited
for intelligence work? Tatsuya watched her in a taunting manner.
He didn't have to wait very long.
"......I give up. It's our duty to assist students deviating from the right
path. This isn't the time to say I'm off duty or I haven't got the time."
So, she was looking for an excuse to make this easier on herself,
Tatsuya thought.
However—
"Alas, that's not the task I had in mind. I'm referring to your other line
of work."
"......What exactly do you want me to do?"
Haruka was immediately on high alert.
Is it really alright for her to be this transparent? This time, Tatsuya was
seriously concerned.
Forget it, even if she messed up by feigning silliness and punished
with "this" and "that", those were not related to him in any way.
"No Head Dragon...... I want to know the current HQ for the Hong
Kong International Criminal Organization 'No Head Dragon'."
Haruka frantically glanced around them and closed in on Tatsuya as if
she was going to hug him.
"How do you know about No Head Dragon!?"
While her tone was agitated, Haruka didn't forget to lower her volume
as she asked him. Still, even if she asked, this wasn't a question he
could answer. Tatsuya's relationship with Kazama and the Independent
Magic-Equipped Battalion was still classified. That was a direct order
from their aunt, the current head of the Yotsuba Family. Even if he
answered with something like "I heard it from somewhere else", there
was no guarantee that some trace of this relationship could not be
exposed.
"It's only natural that I would investigate the culprits intending to do
me harm."
Hence Tatsuya chose this vague answer that could be applied towards
anything. Nevertheless, Haruka correctly interpreted this to mean the
recent obstructions in the Nine Schools Competition.
"......What devilry are you up to now? 'Public Safety' and 'Internal
Affairs' have both been mobilized for this case. There's no need for
Shiba-kun to act on this!"
Haruka was still whispering. From their posture, any bystander would
mistake this for a troublesome relationship.
Miyuki posed no difficulty, so long as Honoka, Shizuku, or any of the
others didn't see them, Tatsuya thought.
"Currently, there are no wheels in motion. Still, if retaliation becomes
necessary, but the enemy's location remains unknown, that would be a
little troubling. ......Speaking of which, I think our current proximity
may cause some misunderstanding."
Haruka quickly jerked back.
Maybe this came from an elder's pride, but she was using a placating
smile to cover her internal discomfiture.
It's about time to seriously advise her to abandon the intelligence
work, Tatsuya thought.
......That being said, he never thought of retracting his request.
"......Insurance, is it?"
"That interpretation would be acceptable."
After carefully examining him, she swiftly nodded.
"......Understood. Give me one day."
"Impressive! You only need one day?"
This was pure, worry-free praise.
Haruka was someone who wore her heart on her sleeve and could only
smile in embarrassment.
