Soon, after a few rounds of drinks and dishes, when Chairman Sullivan saw that the two had eaten enough,
"Alright, let's move on to the next topic. First, let's clean up." Chairman Sullivan waved his hand, and the table flew directly out the window.
The two opposite him immediately knelt on one knee.
"[Eavesdropping Prevention]"
"Naberius Kalego awaits your command."
"Barbatos Batsu awaits your command."
"Hmm, Kalego, you and Batsu can talk for a bit first."
Kalego nodded at his words and then said,
"The next 'Thirteen Crowns Meeting' has been canceled. The reason is the frequent disappearances of high-ranking demons recently. Also, during the Harvest Festival, I sensed the aura of a former student of mine. He was supposed to be working under my brother at the Border Control, but it seems he is now an undercover agent for The Six Fingers. And Shesi mentioned that he encountered what appeared to be a physically modified demon. Based on my investigation, such demons have indeed never existed in the demon world and are confirmed to be physically modified, seemingly also the work of The Six Fingers. It is currently unknown if Pulson Ueytto can serve as an inside contact, but I think he can be trusted."
"So, does this mean it's time for me, Batsu, the one outsiders call 'The Despairing Feather Eater'—the pride of the Barbatos family—to make my appearance?" Batsu summoned his bow, struck a pose, and said.
"Eh? No, no." Chairman Sullivan immediately waved his hand at his words.
"Eh? Is that not it? Then what about me..."
"I'm telling you this only because The Six Fingers seems to have learned that my two grandsons are human, so I want you to protect them well. The demon world is in a turbulent period, and educators should focus even more on education, providing students with better knowledge, upbringing, and protection. That is what educators should do."
After Chairman Sullivan finished speaking,
Both of them first froze, then let out sharp exclamations.
"Shesi (Iruma) is human??????"
Before the two could recover,
"However, those people actually laid hands on my grandsons. Even if my grandsons said not to interfere, I must let them know that acting requires a price."
A huge pressure then descended, not giving the two time to think.
"I will pay those people a visit and teach them a lesson, but I still hope you two can continue to be Shesi and Iruma's teachers and protect their safety. Of course, if you are unwilling, that's fine; I will have these memories erased for you." Chairman Sullivan continued.
The two then fell silent, with Kalego being the first to speak.
"If memories are to be erased, Opera must be the one to do it, right?"
"No... it's..."
"I'm afraid that guy will tamper with my memories. Excuse me, I'll go back and prepare the Misfit Class's teaching materials. I am the watchdog of order. I didn't hear anything just now." Saying this, Kalego stood up to leave, and Batsu, seeing Kalego's attitude, remembered his own foolish disciple.
"There's a strange kind of logic to it... If he's not a demon, then doesn't that mean the only one who can be my disciple is... this guy? Hmph."
In the end, the two chose to keep the secret.
Just as Kalego was about to leave, Chairman Sullivan suddenly called out to him.
"Wait, Kalego-kun."
"Hmm?" Kalego turned his head.
"I'm entrusting these two to you." Chairman Sullivan snapped his fingers, and Opera, bringing Hida and Miki, said.
"Huh?" Kalego's face darkened.
...In the training camp of the Naberius family...
Kalego, dressed in combat gear, was training, constantly recalling Chairman Sullivan's words and then thinking about the Misfit Class, and matters concerning Shesi and Iruma. He punched through the steel plate in front of him. Sweating, Kalego wiped his brow with a towel, then heard a voice from behind him.
"What's wrong?" A figure walked to the training room door and asked.
Kalego turned around, saw it was his brother, and turned back.
"Nothing."
"Is that so?" Naberius Narnia turned his head.
"The demon world has begun to stir. Keep a close eye on the class you're leading."
That single sentence instantly cleared Kalego's previously muddled thoughts. He turned his head in shock, watching his brother's retreating back.
"What does that mean?"
But Naberius Narnia apparently had no intention of explaining to his younger brother.
"You just need to listen to your big brother; your big brother is never wrong."
The next day, Shesi and Iruma finally returned home.
Shesi was completely drenched, while Iruma was spotlessly clean, looking at his brother in surprise.
"How dare you ask! How dare you ask!" Shesi immediately ran up to Iruma and angrily rubbed his head. Although his falling into the water had nothing to do with Iruma, he had fought for Iruma, so by approximation, it was for Iruma.
"Wait! Brother! Hold on a minute!"
Only after tormenting Iruma did Shesi feel much better. He had initially gone to train his mindset, but it somehow turned into a battle... Seriously... I needed mindset, not technique! Also, why could you guys fight on water?! Did you go to Naruto for advanced training?
It turned out that later, the two realized Shesi was actually lacking more in technique and combat experience. Conveniently, Opera could also use this opportunity to train Ameri. So, the two fought on the water, letting Shesi observe the battle from the sidelines to learn combat methods. What did Iruma do that day? He went to party and play games with Lead.
"Oh, by the way, brother, this is Lead's sister's phone number. She said to give it to you," Iruma said.
"Eh?" Shesi was stunned.
Shesi took it and called.
"Hello? Hi? I'm Iruma's brother. Are you Lead's sister?"
Shesi had just made the call and said an opening line. The other person seemed to have just woken up, and her originally groggy voice immediately perked up.
"Hello~ I'm Lead's sister, Shaki~ My hobby is cooking, hmm... I'm a bit thirsty. Would you like to come to my place for a drink with me~ I'll make you something delicious~"
"Ah... okay, I'd be happy to," Shesi replied.
Then Lead's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Where did you get Shesi's number? Don't show your fangs to my classmate!"
"No fangs!"
As the call ended, Shesi and Iruma exchanged glances.
"Don't introduce strange people to me casually next time," Shesi said.
"O-okay, but she asked me to..."
"Learn to refuse!"
Just then, Shesi's phone also rang. This time it was a message from the Misfit Class group chat.
Lead: Iruma just said he felt like I was Iruma's younger brother. But Iruma is clearly more like the younger brother, right? Everyone, judge!
Jazz: Lead is the younger brother, one vote.
Asmodeus: What? How dare you call that great one a younger brother! As his friend, I cannot forgive this!
Clara: What? I'm clearly your big sister! Call me big sister quickly!
Goemon: Hmm~ Iruma feels more like it, Iruma gets one vote.
Camui: Hmm... I think the Queen is big... Kerori: Shut up!
Seeing this, Shesi typed on his phone,
"It's not me, but everyone here is the younger brother~"
Everyone: Huh? Ah???
After committing a universally common act of mischief, Shesi returned home satisfied.
In the evening, Shesi's phone received a message. It was Eiko agreeing to Shesi's suggestion. Seeing this, Shesi sent an "ok" emoji and then got up and went out to find Opera.
