This happened in every country, whether in elementary school, middle school, or high school.
Especially in this country, it was perfectly normal for older students to bully younger ones. But... for high schoolers to go after elementary school students was a little too shameless.
"Suzuki Ai, can you take us to Yuna and the others?" Seele and Black Seele exchanged a glance before hurriedly asking.
"Th-then... all right! Come with me."
Suzuki Ai hesitated a little. Doing this could very likely bring trouble upon herself, but... after thinking it over, she still agreed.
"Thank you!"
Seeing Suzuki Ai agree, Seele smiled at her slightly. Most people would avoid this kind of trouble, so Suzuki Ai's willingness to lead the way already showed considerable sincerity and courage.
To avoid trouble, Seele directly used magic to confuse the guard at the school gate, then followed Suzuki Ai into the school.
As they talked with Suzuki Ai, Seele gradually got a general idea of what had happened.
More or less... Hoshino Kyoko was somewhat withdrawn and timid at school, the sort of person who was easily bullied. Asou Yuna had protected Hoshino Kyoko and ended up clashing with several girls in their class who were a bit delinquent.
Don't be fooled by the fact that these children were only a little over ten years old. Because they had been exposed to the internet too early, they already knew nearly everything they shouldn't have known.
The delinquent girl who had dropped out last time had been a member of their little clique. Recently... Asou Yuna had gotten into another conflict with the others over Hoshino Kyoko. After being taught a lesson by Asou Yuna, two of the girls had even called in their high school brothers from another school to retaliate against Asou Yuna.
