“Are you an idiot, Miss Nira!? No, a big idiot!!”
The next day, angry yells echoed from Uno’s office.
The people gathered there all flinched and shrugged with awkward expressions.
Uno was furious, and raised his voice in anger, which was not common for him. The person this was mainly directed to, Nira, thought he could just leave it be, and spoke.
“Y-you say that, but many students were in that meeting of the Friends of the Night Society, including the exchange student Amamiya. When I heard students were attending a dangerous meeting to worship a criminal, I had to go get them back, right?”
“I’m saying you should have put some thought into how you went about it! Yes, the Friends of the Night Society is dangerous, and students attending it is alarming, but if you just waltz right in and provoke them, isn’t it obvious that you’re going to make these dangerous people very mad!?”
“Uu, guu…”
“Shouldn’t we teachers only do something after meeting and deciding our course of action? Making the decision to go all by yourself, and taking students with you as if that weren’t bad enough, is outrageous! What if your impulsive decision made things worse!?”
Ramy could say nothing against these facts being thrown at her face, and seemed to be getting smaller and smaller as she groaned.
Watching her be beaten down with the same thing she yelled at them in that meeting was a delight to Shian and the others, but they could not forget this sermon was directed at them as well.
“And you! Do you have any idea how many students attended that meeting thanks to your imprudent actions? It was like this with Egos too, so why do you always do these thoughtless things…!?”
Shian and the others faced down when Uno’s anger was pointed at them.
They supposedly did not care about some background character, but when it was put so bluntly to them, they knew they had done something terrible and had to keep quiet.
Uno let out a heavy sigh as they faced down and were silenced, and as he sat down on his chair, he stated with a grave tone what kind of situation they invited.
“…People related to the guards reported suspicious movements from the people of the Friends of the Night Society. Furthermore, students were attacked by Black Veil last night. Thankfully, no one was injured, but this is clearly an emergency. This was caused by Miss Nira provoking them in the meeting last night, right?”
“I-I apologize…”
Ramy had no arguments, and could only keep bowing.
Shian and the others felt no remorse, and simply felt frustrated over not finding Sakura there.
(Dammit! If only I set up a flag with Sakura, it would’ve made hearing this sermon worth it…!!)
This event related to the Black Veil incident was one of Sakura’s events.
It would be possible to deepen a relationship with her, and if that was successful, she could join the party.
They could meet her in the meeting, slowly become closer, and in the end, they would escape the meeting and reveal the true identity of Black Veil. This would earn them a lot of favourability.
However, since the hero prospects flooded into the meeting and none could properly speak to her, no one set up a flag.
Furthermore, Ramy’s sudden intrusion meant that a strange event started, taking them far from the story they knew.
Since they had no idea what the right course of action was, they ended up being scolded. And as they thought this was just the worst, Uno whispered with a serious expression.
“I don’t think that was the last we’ve seen of them. I’m sure the Friends of the Night Society and Black Veil are going to target students. We need to come up with ways to deal with that, so don’t go off on your own again. We need to work together… Is that understood?”
“Y-yes!”
Uno yelled with a rougher tone than usual, and everyone responded fearfully in unison.
He let out an exasperated sigh after warning the people who caused this turmoil. But then the door was opened strongly and a teacher ran in.
“M-Mister Castle, we have trouble! B-Black Veil…!!”
“What about Black Veil? Did he invade the academy!?”
“N-no! No, but I don’t even know anymore…!!”
The teacher was in a complete state of panic, trying to report something, taking it back, and trying to speak again… This kept repeating in a confused mess.
Uno understood that the situation was worse than he imagined.
It seemed that while they tried to come up with a plan, Black veil was already on the move.
He interrupted his discussion with Ramy and the others, and moved out to protect himself and the students.
“Call the teachers! We need to meet and discuss a plan to deal with Black Veil and the Friends of the Night Society!”
He did not know what was happening, but it was definitely something. And it could not be anything good.
He was flustered, thinking they had to come up with a plan to protect the students as quickly as possible, and began to check what was going on.
