"In the end, as expected, Kaede didn't participate in this school trip," Shiota Nagisa said.
"This isn't surprising, is it? She's the world's third-ranked assassin; how could she possibly be here playing house games with us?" Akabane Karma leaned there, legs crossed, and said bluntly.
"Yeah." A trace of disappointment appeared on Shiota Nagisa's face, though he had already expected this.
"However, come to think of it, where is Koro-sensei?" Shiota Nagisa asked again.
Several people looked around and finally saw the window over there, spotting an octopus lying there watching them.
"Whoa!"
Although they were used to Koro-sensei's appearance, seeing Koro-sensei stuck to the train still gave everyone a start. However, after they realized what was happening, they opened the window to let Koro-sensei in.
Then they saw an extra hand on the window.
"Waaahhhhh!!" This scene directly terrified everyone except Akabane Karma.
Then, the next moment, a figure emerged from the window; it was none other than Kaede.
"Hi~ Long time no see." Seeing their familiar faces, Kaede was in a pretty good mood at this time and took the initiative to say hello.
However, what puzzled Kaede was, what was with that "seeing a ghost" look on your faces?
"So it's just Kaede." Shiota Nagisa and Kayano Kaede both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Eh? Kaede, you're here." Shiota Nagisa realized at this moment.
"Yeah, I received an invitation from a certain octopus, so I came," Kaede said with a smile while sitting on the octopus.
"Are you okay out there?" Shiota Nagisa knew the speed of this train.
"It's alright, I can endure it." Kaede indicated that this speed was bearable.
"Woohoo, teacher just bought a dessert, but ended up missing the train. Fortunately, I ran into Kaede. Once we reach the next station, I can get on the train and travel with you all," Koro-sensei also said.
"Let's not talk anymore; it won't be good if others see us." Kaede said with a helpless expression. Clearly, with Koro-sensei's speed, it would have been fine to just carry her to the next station, but Koro-sensei insisted on being with his students...
Then, at the next station, Koro-sensei and Kaede finally entered the train.
Immediately, Kaede felt the difference. Although the seats for Class 3-E were the worst, it was still much more comfortable than sitting on Koro-sensei. It wasn't that Koro-sensei was bad, it was just that at such high speeds, Kaede really couldn't enjoy it.
The train ran for a long time, and by the afternoon, the group reached their destination.
Then, a group of people looked at Koro-sensei, who looked like he was dying from motion sickness, and were all speechless.
Then a few students kindly asked if Koro-sensei needed a rest while simultaneously slashing at Koro-sensei with the knives in their hands. Of course, even with motion sickness, Koro-sensei wouldn't be hit by such an attack.
"What's wrong?" Kaede saw that they seemed a bit flustered.
"Hmm, Student Kanzaki's schedule can't be found," Kayano Kaede said from the side.
"Schedule?" Kaede looked at the seemingly quiet girl in front of her; it seemed her name was Kanzaki Yukiko.
"By the way, Kaede hasn't been grouped yet, right? Do you want to be in our group?" Kayano Kaede suddenly said.
"Yeah," Shiota Nagisa also said.
"No need, I'll just stay here." Kaede shook her head. She didn't have any thoughts about going out to wander around; she only came here because Koro-sensei invited her. As for the scenery and such here, she didn't have the appreciation for it.
"Hmm, alright." Kayano Kaede was just inviting Kaede; she didn't expect Kaede to agree, and the others didn't try to persuade Kaede much either. After all, honestly, they really couldn't be considered very close.
After they all left, Koro-sensei said.
"Kaede, aren't you going to have some fun?"
"What's fun about it?" Kaede glanced at the half-dead Koro-sensei and asked.
"Fun stuff, it's only fun when there are many people."
"I don't like crowds," Kaede said indifferently.
"Is that so? Being so unsociable isn't a good thing."
"Whatever."
"Then, Kaede, did you complete your mission by coming here this time?"
"Completed. After this school trip, I might have to leave," Kaede said.
"Is that so? That's a pity..." Koro-sensei didn't continue speaking, but he seemed to be thinking about something.
"There's nothing to be sorry about." Although Kaede had a trace of feelings for Class 3-E, those feelings weren't enough to become a reason for her to stay.
Neither of them spoke again. Eventually, Kaede couldn't sit still anymore. After all, upon coming here, she didn't have any tools to pass the time; she hadn't brought any painting supplies.
Although the equipment provided by her profession could be used, but... it would still be strange for Koro-sensei to see her painting at thin air, right?
Thus, after greeting Koro-sensei, Kaede left the inn and wandered around the school trip location.
"There... really are a lot of people." Looking at the crowded streets, Kaede subconsciously frowned. However, fortunately, Kaede was no longer the same person she was when she first entered the game; although she didn't like such scenes, she wouldn't deliberately avoid anything.
However, perhaps it was just nature, as Kaede walked and walked, she still ended up in a sparsely populated area.
However, what Kaede didn't expect was that here, she actually saw a few acquaintances...
"Eh? It's Kaede!"
"Why are you here?" Kaede was a bit puzzled. If it could be said that it was her nature, it shouldn't be the case for them; shouldn't they be in those lively places?
"Um, it's bad! Student Kanzaki and Student Kayano were taken away by delinquents!" Shiota Nagisa quickly said.
"..." Kaede was silent. To encounter such a thing just by coming out to play, she really didn't know what to say.
"Then, have you found their stronghold?"
"Yeah, according to the manual Koro-sensei left us, we've pretty much determined their location." Akabane Karma tossed the heavy manual in his hand and said with a helpless look.
"Hmm, then let's be quick; I'll join too." Kaede didn't say much and joined their team directly.
"Great! With Kaede, we'll definitely be able to rescue Student Kanzaki and Student Kayano!" Shiota Nagisa said happily.
"No time to lose, let's act quickly," Kaede said.
"Okay." The faces of several people became serious, and then, looking at the map, they arrived in front of an abandoned room.
"Is this the place?" Kaede asked, looking at the delinquent wearing a black school uniform standing in front of the abandoned factory building.
"It should be them; it's this kind of school uniform." Okuda saw the guy's appearance at this moment and said.
"Then, I'll leave the rest to me." Kaede didn't say much more, crossed the restricted fence, and walked in openly.
Several people looked at each other and then followed behind Kaede.
