Hachishaku-sama: I Don't Want to Fall for Him, But He's Just Too Good at This (Continued)

Lady Yashiro gave a soft sigh, turned, and departed gracefully.

Watching Amamiya Natsuki follow Lady Yashiro away, Shinomiya Kaguya puffed out her cheeks without thinking and couldn't help saying:

"That Lady Yashiro is so unreasonable! They're only cooking. Why did she have to say something so weird?"

"Not necessarily," Hayasaka Ai remarked from beside her. "They say some evil spirits in certain dungeons eat players up in the worst ways."

"...No!"

Shinomiya Kaguya's pretty face flushed red. She had clearly understood what "eat them up" meant in this context.

She hadn't even eaten the student council president up yet. How dare that mere Lady Yashiro eat him up first?!

"Kaguya-chan, don't be rash." Fujiwara Chika hugged Kaguya and comforted her. "The president definitely wouldn't do anything like that. Humans and evil spirits aren't even the same species. You have to trust him."

"That's not necessarily true..."

Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly remembered a news story she'd accidentally seen on Twitter.

A police officer in India had been patrolling the streets when he came across three men acting suspiciously. He stopped them for questioning and eventually found that the three men had been... with monitor lizards. Their species didn't stop certain perverts!

But... surely she could trust the president, right?

Miss Mitsui cleared her throat, changing the subject.

"Now that we're deputy managers, do we still need to go to work?"

"Probably not." Yukinoshita Yukino pursed her lips, pondering. "Let's spend today inspecting the park."

"What for?"

Green tea girl asked curiously.

Yukinoshita Yukino replied calmly,

"There may be other players in the park. We can try looking for them."

"Good point." Fujiwara Chika nodded in agreement. "When times are tough, look after yourself; when times are good, help the world. It's settled!"

"..."

Leaving the girls' activities aside for now.
