Chapter 117 – 10.12 Shinozaki Shinobu 2

After the massive purge of the student council and SS.
Knives could also be seen at the entrance test site for the SS to make up for the lack of personnel.

-Puhaha! Is this the only skill of the proud SS! Next come out, next!

Shinobu was dumbfounded.
Whatever happened to the story of hiding her power her, Knives was dragging aggro as much as she could by beating the relatively weak SS girls.

– Shinozaki, cheer up!
– Protect the pride of the SS!
– You can’t lose to a bully like that!

Received support from the members who had been beaten by Knives first, Shinobu stepped onto the test site this time.

-Haha! The captain has finally arrived! If I win, I’ll be the captain of the guards from now on! Then, I’ll replace the test with the naked Togeza! Only for pretty girls!

Knives was even talking nonsense like that.

– Low quality!
-Transformation!
-Die!

The voices of other members jeering broke out here and there.

Shinobu thought. There’s no way you can win
But I didn’t want to lose. Only for this man.
I wanted to win even if I had to sell my soul to the devil.

…… And won.

-Kuh! Angry! I never thought I’d be this strong for a woman!

Knives uttered lines like a third-class villain and fell to his knees.
That’s how much aggro was dragged on, and the victory was conceded to Shinobu.

-Have you done it?!
-As expected, Shinozaki!
-Awesome! Well done!
-You are the only one who will become the captain of the guard!

The emotions that surged in Shinobu’s chest, who was cheered by the members of the SS, were anger, helplessness, and defeat.

Shinobu was frustrated.
One day, I wanted to become the captain of the guards and stand next to the president.
I wanted to be recognized for my skills fairly and not in the form of being conceded like this.

However, now he was no different from a scarecrow chosen by a secret powerhouse named Knives.
What is the meaning of the post of chief of the guards obtained in this way? It was a humiliation. In my mind, I wanted to throw away everything and commit myself to the military.

However.

– Even though the president is smiling like that on the outside, he is crying inside because he was betrayed by the student council members he trusted. Take good care of you Because the only person I can trust next to the president is you.

Hearing such words from Knives, he couldn’t even run away.
It was as it was said. The most difficult thing right now would be the chairman, but Shinobu was only thinking about his feelings.

Lost. I lost my ability, my personality, and even the mindset of thinking of the president.
I didn’t think I could win now, nor in the future.

Was he unable to win even against such a light man?
The more Shinobu got to know Knives, the more he felt the gap and became frustrated.

And the final blow to Shinobu’s frustration was the words of the chairman who had a recent meeting with the chairman.

-Student president. Why don’t you change the captain of the guard?
-Chairman. Shinozaki is doing well. A replacement without reason only confuses the other members. He sees no reason to change.

-Well, it’s not like Kyoko to conclude without trying. Doesn’t it seem like her simple favoritism her surrounds her?
-The bodyguards are the hands and feet of the student council president. Wouldn’t it be natural to sit down with the right person for me?

A hard atmosphere that can hardly be seen as a mother-daughter conversation. It seemed as if an invisible ice blade was whipping behind the two of them.
Moreover, since the content of the conversation was about herself, Shinobu couldn’t help but feel restless.

-Like. Then, as a test, let’s put Knives Windsor in the position of captain of the guard for the next month. If the efficiency drops, it doesn’t matter if you turn it back then.
-No. I have no intention of replacing it for testing.
– Kyoko.

The reason why the chairman dared to say escort greetings was probably because he was concerned about the safety of her daughter. Even Shinobu could vaguely sense the subtle emotions hidden behind her hard tone.

And the reason why such words came out was due to Shinobu’s lack of skills in his. It means she can’t leave her daughter in peace with Shinobu.

-Chairman. He’s like a stray cat. He’ll scratch the back of his hand and run away if you try to force it. It’s a handshake to try to bind with power, it’s best to let him run free for now.
-…….
-He doesn’t have to be tied down, he’ll come to help when I need him. It was also his idea to put Shinozaki in that position. Having Shinozaki, whom he likes, in his place his will also help motivate him in times of need.
-Kyoko….

-Chairman. I brought a problem child.

Their conversation was interrupted by a voice from outside.
Knives, the main character of the story who was not here, had come.

‘Putting Shinozaki, whom he likes, in his place he will help move him in case of emergency.’

The president’s last words were deeply embedded in Shinobu’s heart his.
I know the chairman didn’t mean it in that way. He said he chose the best option to convince the chairman.

However, Shinobu thought there was some truth in the president’s words.

I don’t know where he likes himself.
Is it a woman’s body? Or is it because she enjoys nitpicking on weak subjects?
Maybe it was because I was tired of hanging out with pretty girls all the time and wanted to eat something unusual from time to time.

Anyway, it was clear that he liked him. It was to the extent that he deliberately put on such a play and put him in the position of captain of the guards. Perhaps if Shinobu asked for something from the bottom of his heart his, he would do it, even if he would be teased.

Shinobu thought that the one thing that Knives liked so much about being a woman might be a greater strength than the ability she had developed so far. I thought of it.

It was a story that completely denied Shinobu’s life his.

All of her efforts her so far have been useless, and as a woman, she said that her life was something she could make up for by spreading her legs apart once …….

Shinozaki Shinobu was frustrated like that.

“However.”

On the running track, Shinobu clenched his fists firmly.

Shinobu’s heart was beating wildly.
All the while, fed up with her sense of defeat, she felt her long-forgotten uplift her.

She can be strong herself too.
Just like the men who betrayed the chairman, like Knives and Yuuki Kurosaki, Shinobu could become stronger from now on.

“Great.”

She knew the secret, so there was no time for her to hesitate.

Shinobu moved her steps back to her enclosed area.
She thought that this time she would go to the Rune Tower by herself.

He himself lagged behind the men.
In order to catch up, you have to work several times harder than others.
Even while Knives was lazing around, he had to move.

The pass is still valid. I should be able to go alone.
If you can’t do it, you can’t. It would be good if they passed it through, and it was worth it even if they sent it back.

Shinobu passed the closed area at a brisk pace and boarded the elevator that went down to the underground military district.

“What? Who?”

The watch commander, Major Sumire, frowned at the new report.

“I am one of the academy tour guides who came in the evening.”
“Are you a man?”
“No. It is the female student side. This time, she says she wants to tour the Rune Tower by herself.”
“Hmm.”

Sumire was lost in thought.

Even during his active service, the colonel would occasionally do odd things like this.
Things normal people can’t understand. At first, even Sumire thought that the child was doing something useless.

But no. All the things that seemed useless were a foreshadowing of something.
Whether it’s rice cakes to catch a big fish, or an experiment to verify your own unique theory.

Thanks to this, sometimes the person who became the bait was in danger, but each time the colonel came to the rescue at the last minute. It was too close to get rid of it, but no one resented the colonel like that.

It was the same for Sumire.

-I’m sorry, Sumire. But you are the most strong-minded woman I know. And she is the most reliable woman. This role could only be entrusted to you.
-…… Colonel.
-If I can’t get married because of this, I’ll take responsibility.

“Heh.”

Recalling her nostalgic memories of her, Sumire gave a small smile.
Her promise she fell through, unfortunately, but she did not cause her faith in him to waver.

Anyway, what are you thinking about this time? Inspection? Or bait?
Why did he send someone when he was on duty? Is something going on at Rune Tower?

The reason he didn’t even tell himself in advance was that he was concerned about leaking information. Are you asking me to cooperate?

“Because he looks like a bad boy.”

Even though he had a hard time with his old boss who didn’t trust him, that’s why he trusted him more. ‘Mad Dog KW’ is still alive. The thoroughness is still the same.

“Then… Is it.”

That’s the colonel Maybe he sent someone, trusting that Sumire would cooperate even if he didn’t say anything. Then, on the contrary, it means that he is trusted, so he himself may rather rejoice.

“Well, okay. We always believe in you and follow you.”

Having come to a conclusion, Sumire gave an order to the messenger.

“Pass it. Let me treat you respectfully Because you are an honored guest.”
“Yes.”
“And if you have a request, do as much as you can, and try not to get in the way of what the person is trying to do. I don’t know what you’re trying to do.”
“Yes!”

The messenger saluted Sumire and quickly left the room.

“This is a debt, Colonel.”

Next time we meet, what will he ask for in return for this debt?
Major Sumire smiled secretly as she tilted her teacup.
