【NoName】Headquarters, a library on the third basement floor. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Go back in time a bit. Last night, I was still reading books until late at night, and Kazuhito had already fallen asleep in the stacks of books that had formed a hill. Sixteen Nights, who hung the headphones that had broken down due to soaking in water, raised his head and muttered:

“…… Not...... Little young master, are you awake? ”

“…… Whew......"

"Are you still sleeping...... Forget it, after all, he reads at my pace, of course it will be like this......"

"Whew~" A loud yawn echoed in the empty stacks.

Leaving the base early in the morning and looking for books that I hadn't read as soon as I came back, this is the pattern of life in the sixteenth night. On the one hand, he is also in charge of introducing the library, so Ren also cooperates with the action of Sixteen Nights. Sixteen Nights has been repeating this life since he came to Hakoiwa. Even if his physical strength is beyond ordinary people, his drowsiness has reached the limit.

When the two of them were making a healthy sound of sleep, Asuka and the others rushed down the stairs in a panic to get here.

"Sixteen Nights Classmate! Where are you? ”

“…… Well? Oh, it's the eldest lady......"

Sixteen Nights shook his head groggily, intending to fall asleep again. However, Asuka uses the scattered books as a stepping platform, and attacks Sixteen Nights' head from the side with a volley knee attack, a wrestling technique also known as "Flash Magic".

"Hurry up!"

"Don't succeed!"

"Wow!"

Asuka's kick beautifully hits the side of the head of the boy who was being used as a shield, Jen Russell.

Ren, who had just woken up and was attacked, flipped three and a half times and simply fell into the distance.

The screams of Lily, who followed after her, sounded in the library, and Yaoyu's surprised speech:

"Ren...... Jen rolled over several times and fell out! Is he okay! ”

“…… I don't think it's okay to get a knee blow to the side. ”

Witnessing the sudden situation and falling into chaos, Lily ran to Jen's side, and Yao clasped her hands together with the same expression. Bai Chen held up a sign that read "9.0" on it.

As for Asuka himself, who kicked Ren out, he didn't particularly mind, but shouted with his hands on his hips:

"Sixteen Nights Classmate! Brother Jen! This is a state of emergency! How can you continue to sleep in the cage! ”

"Really? It's all well and good in an emergency, but I advise you not to cast a flash on someone else's side of the head, miss. I'm personally strong and strong, so it's another matter, but if the young master is hit, his life will be in danger......"

"Isn't the person who used me as a shield Mr. Sixteen Nights yourself!"

Ren suddenly got up from the book mountain, and it seemed that he had saved his life.

"No problem, you see, isn't he still alive?"

“DeadorAlive？ Or should I say that even if you live, it is deadly! Doesn't Black Rabbit often remind Miss Asuka that she should be more tactful......"

"Little master, you're so noisy."

Touch! The corner of the book thrown by Sixteen Nights hits Nakajin in the head, giving him a fatal blow.

Jen flew backwards faster than before and lost consciousness, leaving Lily at a loss for what to do.

Sixteen Nights left the boy and girl alone, and looked at the birds with unhappy eyes.

“…… And then? Since you dare to disturb other people's dreams, there must be a briefing of equal value, right? You should be glad I'm not Bai Chen. ”

"Meow! Meow? Meow, meow. ”

"What do you mean! Want to get beaten? But there's a lot of extenuating circumstances, I understand your thoughts. ”

From the standpoint of Sixteen Nights, being woken up while sleeping just right should have aroused quite a lot of anger. He responded to Asuka in a voice that was extremely unhappy, and although his tone was quite serious, Asuka didn't care. Because her relapse was also interrupted.

Asuka nonchalantly handed the invitation to Sixteen Nights, who wanted to sleep.

"Anyway, if you look at this, you're going to be absolutely happy!"

"Huh?"

Sixteen Nights kept an unhappy expression on his face as he read the invitation that had been opened.

"The sealing wax of the two goddesses...... Was it sent by the White Yaksha? Ah~ what? This is an invitation to the Fire Dragon Birth Festival, a common festival held by the 'class rulers' of the North and East Wards? ”

"Yes. I don't know the details, but it's a great festival! You're looking forward to it, right? ”

Seeing the flying bird with a smug attitude for some reason, Sixteen Night shook his hands and shouted:

"Hey! What a joke, Miss! How could you have tried to hit me on the side of the head with flash magic for the sake of such a boring thing, ignoring my sleep! And what is the content of this festival? In addition to the art and craft exhibitions and judging sessions made by the ghosts and elves of the North Ward, there are also a variety of bounty games held by the organizers. The main event is a festival scheduled to be hosted by the 'Hierarchy Dominators'! Damn it! Seems like a lot of fun! Shouldn't we go and see it?"

"Looks like you're full of energy."

Sixteen Nights writhed like a beast and jumped up, putting on its uniform in style.

Lily, who was trembling and watching, changed her face when she heard these words, and she panicked trying to stop everyone.

"Please...... Please wait a minute! Even if you want to go to the North District, you should at least discuss it with Sister Black Rabbit first...... Right...... That's right! Benevolence! Hurry up, too! Everyone's going to the North District! ”

“…… North...... North? ”

Ren, who was originally unconscious, jumped up because of the sentence "I want to go to the North District", and questioned everyone with absurd information:

"Please...... Please wait a moment! Everybody! You said you were going to the North District...... Is it serious? ”

"Lily! Didn't you say that you should hide things about the festival......"

"Concealing ???"

The question marks of three people and one cat form a harmony. The boy froze, and by the time he realized that he had lost his words, it was too late. When Ren looked back, he saw the three super problem children of Yao, Asuka, and Sixteen Nights smiling evilly and emitting angry flames.

"Really? Is such an interesting festival going to be hidden from us? Whining. ”

"It's a shame that we work hard every day to make the community stronger. Whining. ”

"In that case, might it be an important step to let the Black Rabbit teach them a lesson? Whining. ”

"Meow~Meow~"

"You guys go play by yourself~ It's enough for me to lie on my stomach~"

Except for Bai Chen, although the problem children all pretended to cry, they had malicious smiles on their faces.

In the face of this malice, which was not intended to be concealed at all, the teenagers and girls could only break out in a cold sweat.

Poor teenager, Jen Russell, is kidnapped by troubled children without the right to express his will, and together they make their way to the border between the East and North Sides.

……

After handing over the letter to Lily, Sixteen Nights, Asuka, Yao, Ren, and a Baichen cat set off from the [NoName] settlement to the water spray square in front of the outer gate of 2105380. The group chose to settle down at the café with the banner of "Six Wounds" on Pelibed Avenue, which has been very lively since this morning, and looked around the outer door.

"Every time I come to the vicinity of the Fountain Plaza, I want to ask...... 2105380 The tasteless landscape integration of the outer door, who is in charge? ”

Asuka cast an unpleasant gaze at the outer door of 2105380.

The stone pillar that connects the outer gate and the inner wall of Hakoniwa City is a large tiger statue, and above the door is carved the tiger flag of the now-vanished community "Fores Garo (Forest)".

Ren sighed and explained to Asuka:

"As long as the ruler of the region can crack the boon game proposed by the class ruler, he will have the right to coordinate the outer door of the box. It is also a function similar to a community advertising billboard. ”

"Really...... That's why the traces of that demon's crooked path will remain. ”

Asuka snorted and brushed her hair unpleasantly.

Then she changed her mood and turned to face the café table again.

"So, what do you do to get to the North End? Bai Chen, do you have a way? ”

Jiuyuan Asuka changed the posture of his slender feet covered under the long skirt and asked Bai Chen.

"Meow~Meow~"

"Don't ask me~Go ask Renbei~"

Today she is also wearing the big red dress she got from the Black Rabbit before.

Although it may seem unreasonable to wear a dress as a normal wear, once you get used to it, it is not a big deal. Besides, there are people in Hakoniwa City who are even more fancy clothes, and after seeing those people, even Asuka himself doesn't seem to think that there is anything wrong with treating dresses as normal clothes.

Kasugabe Yao, who was beside Asuka, tilted his head and replied:

"Hmm...... Since you know that the venue is in the North District, it should be okay to walk north anyway, right? ”

"Meow~"

"Makes sense~"

No matter how much this suggestion is, it is too under-considered. After hearing Yao's proposal and Bai Chen's answer, everyone couldn't help but smile bitterly.

By the way, Yao's costume. Compared to when he was summoned to Hakoiwa, there is no change. It's still a completely unfeminine combination of shirts, sleeveless vests, shorts, and over-the-knee socks and boots. Even the only ankleblet on the boots that can be related to fashion is only one of the gifts that Black Rabbit gave her, and Baichen Cat, which has become bound equipment.

Sixteen Nights, who sat next to Yao, asked Jen:

"So, don't our leaders have any good plans?"
