After having lunch with Klaus-san, Beatriche, and Ange-oneechan, I asked Murt to keep watch and proceeded to copy the secret ledgers.
Even if they hide the secret ledgers inside a pillar, for those of us who can sneak in through the shadows, it's like taking something out of an unlocked cupboard.
It seems that both Volent and Schiller, who is in charge of accounting, use the secret ledgers only at certain times at night, so I can work without interruption during the day.
If they used earth attribute magic, they could break down the surface of the pillar and restore it to its original state, but it took a lot of time and effort, so they probably didn't take them out often.
It was easy to retrieve the secret ledgers, but it took some time to make a copy.
There were five books in total, one of which I copied last night, but copying the remaining four thick books was a painstaking task.
Even so, it was probably still easier since I was using a copy machine instead of writing by hand.
"Kajikawa-san, thank you very much. Thanks to you, I was able to copy everything and was able to complete the conversion to data."
"Kokubu-kun's multi-talented abilities are astounding as you are an S-rank adventurer and a skilled tax inspector."
"No, no, I just happened to be able to use dark attribute magic for an undercover investigation, and unless the contents of the ledger are explained, it's complete gibberish to me."
"In fact, there are many people who can do the work of sifting through such books, and the ability to find important books is valuable. Even the National Tax Agency of Japan has asked for cooperation."
"Even if you say that, I'm already busy with things in the other world, Volzard, Resenburg, and such. I'll leave Japan to everyone in Japan."
When I returned to Volzard after meeting with Kajikawa-san about tomorrow's return work, the sun had completely set.
While distributing the weapons recovered from Havre's remnants to the staying behind group, I decided to have dinner with Yuika, so I headed to Hert as a landmark.
Yuika had returned to her dorm room after finishing her work at the clinic.
"Yuika, can I come in?"
"Kento? Just a minute."
After Yuika cleaned up her desk where she was working, she invited me in.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?"
"It's like it did ... and like it didn't ..."
I talked about distributing weapons to the staying behind group and invited her to dinner.
"Then, let's invite Watanuki-san as well. She's probably coming back from Amanda-san's shop."
"Motomiya-san is probably still at Meline-san's shop, and I wonder if the old and new duo and Kondo have returned yet."
"If we wait in the cafeteria while we eat, I'm sure they'll come back eventually."
"That's right. Then, let's go."
When we left Yuika's room, the hallway of the dormitory was silent.
Even though the repatriation work had progressed, there were still about 30 girls left in the dormitory, but I felt like it was too quiet.
When I knocked on the door of her room, Watanuki-san had returned from Amanda-san's shop.
"Dinner, huh ... Alright, I'll go with you."
"What's wrong? Watanuki-san."
"Nn? I don't have much of an appetite ..."
"If you're not feeling well, healing magic ..."
"No, that probably won't help. Because I'm not sick."
"Ehh, you're not sick ... ?"
"Kento, look at Sachiko ..."
Watanuki-san said she had no appetite, apparently due to morning sickness caused by pregnancy.
"It's gotten a lot better, but I still can't eat normally, or rather, I'm a picky eater."
It seemed like she had a strong craving for hard brown bread or potato chips, so she asked Amanda-san to make some for her.
"That's why I'll look at tonight's menu and eat only what I can eat,
"Yup, I don't mind. But, as expected, it's difficult to give birth to a child."
"That's right. You're going to make Yuika and Manon have a hard time, so get your act together, Kokubu."
"Of course, I'll do everything I can, but, still, that ... we haven't done it, so I don't really feel it."
"Hee, you're surprisingly earnest ... Kokubu, I thought you would have pushed them down or been pushed down a long time ago."
"There were some risqué scenes, but even so, we never did it."
I had to choose my words carefully because if I made the wrong answer, Yuika, who had her arms entwined with mine, would transform into a Yaksha and my life would be in danger.
I have to make sure this supreme 'Funi~yun fuyun' doesn't turn into a vice ...
When I went to the cafeteria, I noticed that the seats used to be filled with my classmates and members of the defense force, but now there were a lot of empty seats.
This was probably because the repatriation work had progressed and there were fewer classmates left here.
At some point, my classmates started gathering at the back of the cafeteria, and the guards gathered near the exit, so it was naturally the back that had the most empty seats.
After receiving our trays, we also sat in the seats in the back.
Some classmates called out to me, and some of them were planning on returning tomorrow.
At the beginning of the repatriation process, some of them were worried whether they would really be able to return to Japan, but as time went by, they started keeping in touch with their classmates who had returned, and their concerns seemed to have been dispelled.
However, it seemed that my classmates who were planning to return to Japan were already interested in what would happen after they returned to Japan, and I felt that there was a sense of distance from those of us who remained in Volzard.
Or rather, it was just how I felt, and I didn't think everyone had that intention.
When the three of us were eating together with our classmates, I felt strangely stared at.
When I turned my gaze, I saw a guard suddenly looking away.
"How can I say it, I feel like I'm being looked at strangely ..."
"Aahh, Kokubu, that must be the new guy."
"Nn? But, I have silver hair now, so it's not as noticeable as black hair ..."
"Haa ... Kokubu, you don't have enough self-awareness. The silver-haired man next to Tenshi-chan from the clinic, who looks dull at first glance, is famous around here as the Monster User."
According to Watanuki-san, the new recruits who enlisted in the middle of last month, if they got injured during training, they would be taken care of at the clinic, and Yuika and Manon, who were in charge of treatment, had become a hot topic.
If things go well ... For those who thought such, the senior members warned them, and it seemed the current situation arose.
"Wouldn't it be interesting if there was someone who was so dazzled by Yuika that they challenged Kokubu?"
"No, no, that wouldn't be interesting at all. That's just a hassle."
"What the heck, don't touch my Yuika ... or something like that."
"I want to build a good relationship with everyone in the garrison, so I don't want to cause any trouble. Ahh ... but of course, I won't let them lay a finger on Yuika."
"Kento ..."
"Yuika ..."
"Sorry, it was my fault, so you should only flirt when it's just the two of you."
Even though Yuika and I were able to get a good atmosphere going, Watanuki-san was unromantic.
However, together with Yuika, ah~n ... I'll do that though.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to show the newcomers in the garrison anything.
As I was eating, receiving angry glances from everywhere, Kondo and the old and new duo showed up.
Come to think of it, Takayama was having dinner with Celia-san-tachi at his home.
"Kondo, here, here."
"Ou, it's unusual to see Kokubu eating here. What's wrong?"
"I took weapons and armor from the rebels in Resenburg, so I thought I'd give them to Kondo-tachi."
"Seriously, that's a blessing for us, but doesn't that mean you stole weapons from a terrorist organization? Kokubu is really evil."
"What are you talking about. I'm just trying to prevent unnecessary bloodshed. That's rude to a pacifist like me."
"Yes, yes, then let's leave it at that. So, what kind of things do you have?"
"Long swords, spears, shields, armor, gauntlets, leg armor, chainmail, knives, and more ..."
When I told them the types of weapons I had taken from Havre's remnants, the old and new duo got excited.
"Oohh, a spear is great, a spear! When dealing with large monsters, it's probably safer to keep your distance."
"Kazuki, what about a shield. Iron is expensive here, so good shields are expensive."
"A shield, huh ... I was thinking about it. Is it possible to get the polycarbonate shield that the riot police use? It's light, strong, and transparent, so it's good, isn't it? Kokubu, can't you mediate somehow?"
"Hmm ... It's not like I can't get one, but if it gets broken or stolen, I won't be able to get a replacement right away, so wouldn't it be better to stick with this iron shield?"
"I see, that makes sense."
Kondo and the old and new duo joined in and were discussing what weapons to use, when Yagi and Sagara-san also showed up.
Sagara-san was more interested in a carriage than weapons.
"Hey, hey, Kokubu. Is there a small one-horse carriage?"
"A small carriage, is it ... I think there was one, but would a smaller one be better?"
"I've done a lot of research, but it's difficult to keep a horse, so I'm thinking of owning just the carriage and renting the horse only when I need it."
"I see, is it possible to save money that way."
It was true that it was difficult for those of us who grew up in Tokyo to raise horses.
Come to think of it, after rescuing Yagi and the old and new duo, we did coachman training.
In the end, Zae and the others pulled us, so I didn't get to use the results of my training, but Yagi and the others might have a chance to use them in the future.
They didn't have a place to put the horse drawn carriage yet, so I'll ask them to choose again after the share house is completed, and I'll keep the ones that are small and in good condition.
I decided to line up the weapons and armor in front of the entrance to the dormitory, where there was a magic light, and let everyone choose what they liked.
"What are you going to do Tatsuya, which one should I get?"
"Since you can get it for free, you should get a set, right? Right, Joe~."
"That's right, a spear, one-handed shield, chain mail, gauntlets, leg armor ... I guess that's it."
While Kondo and the old and new duo were busy selecting items, Motomiya-san was also choosing a weapon with a serious look on her face.
It felt like Kondo and Motomiya-san were dissuading the old and new duo that placed emphasis on appearance.
"Hey, hey, Kokubu-kun, don't you have chain mail in a smaller size?"
"Wait a minute ..."
Most of the weapons taken from Havre's remnants were general-purpose sizes used by adult men, so they felt too large even for the old and new duo.
This time, Takayama was not participating, but I would let Furuta, who was about the same size, choose for him.
"For the time being, this is the smallest size ..."
"Hmm ... Isn't this still too big. It can't be helped, I'll have it resized."
Motomiya-san had a slender figure, so even in the smallest size, the shoulders were wide and the sleeves reached all the way to her fingertips.
The hemline also reached around her knees, and when she tried it on, it looked like an avant-garde dress.
Chainmail itself was quite heavy, so it didn't flutter like cloth, and there was a large lack of bumps ...
"Kokubu-kun, aren't you thinking of something rude?"
"Th, there's no way. I just thought it looked heavy and the sleeves were quite long."
"No, no, Kokubu, even if you look at it from the side, it's perfectly flat ..."
"Yagi-kun, try it on too, look, you're going to become an adventurer, right?"
After blurting out a few unnecessary words, Yagi was forced to put on the chainmail Motomiya-san was trying on, and he reluctantly put it on.
"Wow, it's so heavy, it's hitting my shoulders quite a bit."
"Okay, Yagi-kun, stand there for a moment and I'll do a strength test ..."
"Idiot, stop it! What are you going to do with that drawn spear ... Ouch, ouch, stop it."
"I'm sorry for being so flat! Look, it doesn't get in the way of handling spears, and I'll try my hand at archery soon, moreover, the target ... not that, cooperate with testing ..."
"There's no way I would!"
The chainmail that Yagi was wearing seemed to be of good quality, and it seemed that it was able to block Motomiya-san's stabs well, and there was no bloodshed.
However, unlike metal armor, chainmail deformed, so shocks could pass through it.
As if to embody the shortcomings of chainmail, Motomiya-san discarded and abandoned Yagi, who had collapsed and was twitching, and resumed choosing a weapon.
There was a lot of noise at the entrance, so my classmates who were planning to return to Japan also gathered to see what was going on.
"Kokubu, can we watch too?"
"I don't mind, but everything has real blades, so don't play around with them."
"Roger, roger."
My classmates who were returning to Japan didn't need weapons or armor, but on the other hand, they were things that they would have almost no chance of getting once they returned to Japan.
The great sword I took out just in case, they might want to try carrying it on their back, or holding it just once.
"Kokubu-kun, I'll go with this ..."
What Motomiya-san chose was chainmail stripped off Yagi and a spear, along with a wide-bladed dagger, a buckler, gauntlets, leg armor, leather armor, and an iron helmet.
"If I were to equip everything, I probably wouldn't be able to move as I am now, but I'm thinking of changing my equipment to suit the situation."
"I see ... How is it, Reinhardt."
[ It's a very wise choice, because of course the equipment will be different depending on whether you are going out for subjugation or searching. However, no matter what equipment you wear, you need to train to be able to move without disorder, and it would be a good idea to know the limits of the strength of the armor."
When I relayed Reinhardt's words, Motomiya-san nodded greatly and asked me for a favor.
"The matter with Nikola will be resolved on star day, right?"
"Yup, as long as Volent isn't too stupid, I think it'll be fine."
"Well then, could you please take me to the training ground?"
"That's right, everyone would like to try out the new weapons, so how about we do some joint training with the staying behind group?"
"Really? Can I also experience subjugating monsters?"
"Of course, I'll prepare some lively Goblins."
"Hoora~y! Now I can increase my experience points."
Motomiya-san was dancing with joy, and Yagi, who got up with a start, muttered to himself.
"Too naive, Motomiya. You are too naive."
"What, are you still complaining?"
"Fuun, you don't understand Kokubu's bad character at all."
"What do you mean."
"The lively Goblins that this guy is talking about are seriously lively. If you're unlucky, a high rank one ... I tell you, he's going to catch one of those."
"Ehh, is that true?"
Motomiya-san, who seemed to suddenly become anxious, turned to me, and I answered with a reasurring smile.
"It's okay, it's okay. Me and my genus are watching over you. If we think it's dangerous, we'll intervene, and to begin with, subjugating a weakened Goblin won't be of any use, right? Well, the training is based on actual combat, so it's not easy. Still, you can actually subjugate monsters in a safe environment, so I don't think there's a better place to gain experience than that."
"That's right. Actual subjugation requests are life-threatening work, so it's only natural that the training is tough."
"Motomiya, don't be fooled. This guy is a demon, a demon! He won't even let you take a break when you're exhausted after the subjugation, and coldly tells you to quickly take out the magic stone."
It seemed that Yagi had some deep feelings about the party joining exam he took the other day.
"What are you talking about. It's probably because you were struggling with the likes of a Goblin. Kondo killed it in an instant."
"That, because I lacked preparation and experience, and even Motomiya would definitely be in trouble at first."
"I wonder about that ... She's a lot more solid than Yagi, so I think she'll be able to do better."
"You, give me at least half of the kindness you show to everyone other than me."
"What are you talking about. You've used my name so many times, you've even gotten a cute wife, complaining too much is going too far."
"Damnit, you're the one who gets all the cute wives ..."
It happened when Yagi clenched his fist and ground his teeth.
"Gyaaaaa!"
Suddenly, a scream rang out, and when I turned around, I saw a classmate rolling around holding his shoulder.
Nearby, a great sword with blood on its blade was thrown down.
"I, it's different. I didn't mean to cut him or anything, but it was heavier than I thought ... I couldn't stop it ..."
Apparently, he raised the great sword just for fun, and although he intended to stop it, he couldn't support the weight and slashed with it.
Yuika ran up faster than me, quickly finished her chant, and began applying healing magic.
"Mana, oh mana, oh mana that governs the world, gather, gather, gather in my hands and heal!"
"It hurts ... It huuurts ..."
Yuika's hand on his shoulder glowed faintly, and although the expression on my classmate's face had softened a little, it was still filled with pain.
It looked like he was hit directly by a swing of the great sword, so the wound was probably quite deep.
While Yuika was applying healing magic, Katou-sensei heard the news and rushed in.
"Who got cut. What's the situation?"
"Yuika is treating him currently. The one who cut him ... Umm, where did he go?"
The person who was brandishing the great sword was a classmate who had never been in the same class with me, and I didn't know his name.
He must have gotten scared after cutting his classmate, so he disappeared while I watched the treatment being received.
While I was talking with Katou-sensei, the treatment was over and my classmate who had been slashed also got up.
The clothes he was wearing were torn and covered in blood, and at first glance it looked terrible, but the wound had closed and he didn't see to be in any pain.
However, he felt dizzy due to the heavy bleeding, so he borrowed his friend's shoulder and went back to his room.
"Good work, Yuika. It must have cut to the bone, right?"
"Yup, it seemed like it went completely through the collarbone and stopped at the shoulder blade. That, I don't think he would have survived if it had hit his head directly."
Yuika's body trembled as she washed her hands with a water ball that I created using water magic.
It seemed that our healing magic could restore damaged cells, but I didn't know if it would be possible to restore the original memory and functions if brain cells were regenerated.
I was a little hesitant, but I wiped down the great sword that had been thrown down, put it in its sheath, and threw it into the shadow space.
All of the weapons were returned by the classmates who were watching, and I left behind the ones that Kondo-tachi had chosen and put away the other weapons.
I heard that Katou-sensei would give a lecture to the classmate who brandished the great sword later, but I ended up getting scolded as well.
"Kokubu, don't let those who are returning home have weapons anymore. It can't be helped for those who are staying, but it will be too late if the people who can return home get injured or something happens."
"Understood. I'll make sure to exchange weapons when other classmates aren't around."
"I'm counting on you. Haa ... However, he was saved due to the incident that occurred in Volzard. Even if you get slashed with a machete-like sword, the treatment will be finished on the spot."
"But, there's no excuse not to report it to Japan, right?"
"Don't say that. I know it even if you don't say it."
Katou-sensei returned to his dormitory with a big sigh.
Yup, I felt like Katou-sensei's hair was getting thinner again.
After having lunch with Klaus-san, Beatriche, and Ange-oneechan, I asked Murt to keep watch and proceeded to copy the secret ledgers.
Even if they hide the secret ledgers inside a pillar, for those of us who can sneak in through the shadows, it's like taking something out of an unlocked cupboard.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"
"It's like it did ... and like it didn't ..."
I talked about distributing weapons to the staying behind group and invited her to dinner.
"Then, let's invite Watanuki-san as well. She's probably coming back from Amanda-san's shop."
"Motomiya-san is probably still at Meline-san's shop, and I wonder if the old and new duo and Kondo have returned yet."
"If we wait in the cafeteria while we eat, I'm sure they'll come back eventually."
"That's right. Then, let's go."

Motomiya-san had a slender figure, so even in the smallest size, the shoulders were wide and the sleeves reached all the way to her fingertips.
The hemline also reached around her knees, and when she tried it on, it looked like an avant-garde dress.
Chainmail itself was quite heavy, so it didn't flutter like cloth, and there was a large lack of bumps ...
"Kokubu-kun, aren't you thinking of something rude?"
"Th, there's no way. I just thought it looked heavy and the sleeves were quite long."
"No, no, Kokubu, even if you look at it from the side, it's perfectly flat ..."
"Yagi-kun, try it on too, look, you're going to become an adventurer, right?"
After blurting out a few unnecessary words, Yagi was forced to put on the chainmail Motomiya-san was trying on, and he reluctantly put it on.
"Wow, it's so heavy, it's hitting my shoulders quite a bit."
"Okay, Yagi-kun, stand there for a moment and I'll do a strength test ..."
"Idiot, stop it! What are you going to do with that drawn spear ... Ouch, ouch, stop it."
"I'm sorry for being so flat! Look, it doesn't get in the way of handling spears, and I'll try my hand at archery soon, moreover, the target ... not that, cooperate with testing ..."
"There's no way I would!"
The chainmail that Yagi was wearing seemed to be of good quality, and it seemed that it was able to block Motomiya-san's stabs well, and there was no bloodshed.
However, unlike metal armor, chainmail deformed, so shocks could pass through it.
As if to embody the shortcomings of chainmail, Motomiya-san discarded and abandoned Yagi, who had collapsed and was twitching, and resumed choosing a weapon.
There was a lot of noise at the entrance, so my classmates who were planning to return to Japan also gathered to see what was going on.
"Kokubu, can we watch too?"
"I don't mind, but everything has real blades, so don't play around with them."
"Roger, roger."
My classmates who were returning to Japan didn't need weapons or armor, but on the other hand, they were things that they would have almost no chance of getting once they returned to Japan.
The great sword I took out just in case, they might want to try carrying it on their back, or holding it just once.
"Kokubu-kun, I'll go with this ..."
What Motomiya-san chose was chainmail stripped off Yagi and a spear, along with a wide-bladed dagger, a buckler, gauntlets, leg armor, leather armor, and an iron helmet.
"If I were to equip everything, I probably wouldn't be able to move as I am now, but I'm thinking of changing my equipment to suit the situation."
"I see ... How is it, Reinhardt."
[ It's a very wise choice, because of course the equipment will be different depending on whether you are going out for subjugation or searching. However, no matter what equipment you wear, you need to train to be able to move without disorder, and it would be a good idea to know the limits of the strength of the armor."
When I relayed Reinhardt's words, Motomiya-san nodded greatly and asked me for a favor.
"The matter with Nikola will be resolved on star day, right?"
"Yup, as long as Volent isn't too stupid, I think it'll be fine."
"Well then, could you please take me to the training ground?"
"That's right, everyone would like to try out the new weapons, so how about we do some joint training with the staying behind group?"
"Really? Can I also experience subjugating monsters?"
"Of course, I'll prepare some lively Goblins."
"Hoora~y! Now I can increase my experience points."
Motomiya-san was dancing with joy, and Yagi, who got up with a start, muttered to himself.
"Too naive, Motomiya. You are too naive."
"What, are you still complaining?"
"Fuun, you don't understand Kokubu's bad character at all."
"What do you mean."
"The lively Goblins that this guy is talking about are seriously lively. If you're unlucky, a high rank one ... I tell you, he's going to catch one of those."
"Ehh, is that true?"
Motomiya-san, who seemed to suddenly become anxious, turned to me, and I answered with a reasurring smile.
"It's okay, it's okay. Me and my genus are watching over you. If we think it's dangerous, we'll intervene, and to begin with, subjugating a weakened Goblin won't be of any use, right? Well, the training is based on actual combat, so it's not easy. Still, you can actually subjugate monsters in a safe environment, so I don't think there's a better place to gain experience than that."
"That's right. Actual subjugation requests are life-threatening work, so it's only natural that the training is tough."
"Motomiya, don't be fooled. This guy is a demon, a demon! He won't even let you take a break when you're exhausted after the subjugation, and coldly tells you to quickly take out the magic stone."
It seemed that Yagi had some deep feelings about the party joining exam he took the other day.
"What are you talking about. It's probably because you were struggling with the likes of a Goblin. Kondo killed it in an instant."
"That, because I lacked preparation and experience, and even Motomiya would definitely be in trouble at first."
"I wonder about that ... She's a lot more solid than Yagi, so I think she'll be able to do better."
"You, give me at least half of the kindness you show to everyone other than me."
"What are you talking about. You've used my name so many times, you've even gotten a cute wife, complaining too much is going too far."
"Damnit, you're the one who gets all the cute wives ..."
It happened when Yagi clenched his fist and ground his teeth.
"Gyaaaaa!"
Suddenly, a scream rang out, and when I turned around, I saw a classmate rolling around holding his shoulder.
Nearby, a great sword with blood on its blade was thrown down.
"I, it's different. I didn't mean to cut him or anything, but it was heavier than I thought ... I couldn't stop it ..."
Apparently, he raised the great sword just for fun, and although he intended to stop it, he couldn't support the weight and slashed with it.
Yuika ran up faster than me, quickly finished her chant, and began applying healing magic.
"Mana, oh mana, oh mana that governs the world, gather, gather, gather in my hands and heal!"
"It hurts ... It huuurts ..."
Yuika's hand on his shoulder glowed faintly, and although the expression on my classmate's face had softened a little, it was still filled with pain.
It looked like he was hit directly by a swing of the great sword, so the wound was probably quite deep.
While Yuika was applying healing magic, Katou-sensei heard the news and rushed in.
"Who got cut. What's the situation?"
"Yuika is treating him currently. The one who cut him ... Umm, where did he go?"
The person who was brandishing the great sword was a classmate who had never been in the same class with me, and I didn't know his name.
He must have gotten scared after cutting his classmate, so he disappeared while I watched the treatment being received.
While I was talking with Katou-sensei, the treatment was over and my classmate who had been slashed also got up.
The clothes he was wearing were torn and covered in blood, and at first glance it looked terrible, but the wound had closed and he didn't see to be in any pain.
However, he felt dizzy due to the heavy bleeding, so he borrowed his friend's shoulder and went back to his room.
"Good work, Yuika. It must have cut to the bone, right?"
"Yup, it seemed like it went completely through the collarbone and stopped at the shoulder blade. That, I don't think he would have survived if it had hit his head directly."
Yuika's body trembled as she washed her hands with a water ball that I created using water magic.
It seemed that our healing magic could restore damaged cells, but I didn't know if it would be possible to restore the original memory and functions if brain cells were regenerated.
I was a little hesitant, but I wiped down the great sword that had been thrown down, put it in its sheath, and threw it into the shadow space.
All of the weapons were returned by the classmates who were watching, and I left behind the ones that Kondo-tachi had chosen and put away the other weapons.
I heard that Katou-sensei would give a lecture to the classmate who brandished the great sword later, but I ended up getting scolded as well.
"Kokubu, don't let those who are returning home have weapons anymore. It can't be helped for those who are staying, but it will be too late if the people who can return home get injured or something happens."
"Understood. I'll make sure to exchange weapons when other classmates aren't around."
"I'm counting on you. Haa ... However, he was saved due to the incident that occurred in Volzard. Even if you get slashed with a machete-like sword, the treatment will be finished on the spot."
"But, there's no excuse not to report it to Japan, right?"
"Don't say that. I know it even if you don't say it."
Katou-sensei returned to his dormitory with a big sigh.
Yup, I felt like Katou-sensei's hair was getting thinner again.
