The Takebayashi Yayoi from three years ago was full of questions. To this, Chinatsu boldly proposed a hypothesis.
[What if Takebayashi Yayoi knew in advance, or the organization believed she knew some of their unspeakable secrets? To this end, they feigned the kidnapping of her faction members, but it was actually a trap to ruin Takebayashi Yayoi's reputation.]
Because Takebayashi Yayoi was a prestigious candidate for the eternal princess of Tokiwadai at the time, a secret assassination would have instead attracted the attention and panic of the entire Tokiwadai student body. This was clearly not what that organization wanted to see.
Tokiwadai's compromise on this, and even the mobilization of Academy City's Dark Side organization that specifically cleans up messes, made the involvement seem far too large.
It was conceivable that even if this mysterious organization's power was not above Tokiwadai's, it was still an existence that Tokiwadai could not simply ignore, and it very likely touched upon the dark side of Academy City.
"An organization that even Tokiwadai has to compromise with... then isn't my revenge even more impossible to achieve..."
"So, I'll help you."
Just as a deeper shade of despair appeared in Satan Sen's eyes, the door to the Infirmary was suddenly opened from the outside, and Chinatsu spoke while standing with one hand on her hip.
Strength, power, status.
These things that Satan Sen lacked were not so out of reach for Chinatsu.
By now, Chinatsu was also very curious about what happened three years ago. Even if it wasn't for Satan Sen and Yukiko, she still wanted to investigate it clearly.
Satan Sen endured the pain and turned her head toward Chinatsu. She opened her mouth as if to say something but then closed it, finally only stammering out a thank you.
"Th... thank you."
Hearing this, Chinatsu sighed helplessly and reached out a hand, lazily waving it from side to side.
"You should thank me, and similarly, you should also thank the members of your faction. If it weren't for those members who are utterly devoted to you, your current situation wouldn't be very good either."
Satan Sen was confused by Chinatsu's words. Seeing that Chinatsu didn't seem to have any intention of explaining clearly, she could only struggle to turn her head toward Yukiko on the other side.
"Sister, it's like this..."
It turns out that after such a disaster occurred at the Charity Gala hosted by Tokiwadai, the eternal princess, as the external image representative, definitely had to take responsibility. Revoking the title of eternal princess was only one of the predictable punishments.
But after the resistance of the Sha Faction members, Tokiwadai ultimately only revoked the title of eternal princess and imposed a fine for part of the repairs to the Charity Gala building.
And even so, many Sha Faction members wanted to help Satan Sen pay part of it. It was conceivable how high Satan Sen's reputation was within the school.
Although it was a feigned 'hypocrisy', the effort to cultivate that 'hypocrisy' involved genuine bits of kindness bestowed upon the school and the students.
Having said that, Chinatsu did not continue chatting with Satan Sen. For someone who wasn't good at 'talk therapy', the more they said, the more likely it was to have the opposite effect.
With a 'click', the door to the Infirmary closed. Chinatsu walked out, where Shirai Kuroko was currently standing with her hands on her hips and her cheeks puffed out, looking at her.
"Even if you are Onee-sama, using a Judgement Member's authority to make the Security Officers stop the investigation... there won't be a next time!!!"
Shirai Kuroko said with puffed-out cheeks. Chinatsu smiled and nodded, reaching out to pat her head.
The feigned dissatisfaction on Kuroko's face was instantly swept away, and her head began to billow steam like a steam engine...
