217話 狂信者の猛威
まるで魔法陣か何かのような文様が描かれた壁。窓には瀟洒な格子が施され、外から入る光は陰影がつけられ、室内に不思議な影を落とす。
そして天井から吊るされた豪奢なシャンデリアが放つ光はあらゆる調度品に反射し、部屋全体には神聖な煌めきが灯っている。
朗読会を終えた俺は、あれよあれよと言う間に『
司祭様
もいて、どうやら俺を入信させた事から彼女が俺の後見的な立場にあるようだ。
ちなみに晃夜と夕輝はついて来れなかったので、校舎内で待ってもらっている。
「これより、天使認定議会を簡易ながら行う」
真っ白なテーブルクロスがかけられた長大な机、それを囲むように配置された味のある木材製の椅子が12脚。そのうちの10脚が偉そうな人々で埋まっている。
そんな人達の前に立たされた俺は緊張感でいっぱいだ。
立派な法衣をまとった禿頭のおじさんの呼びかけに、素早く返事をする。
「は、はい」
その場のお偉方に語りかけるように両腕を広げ、俺の右斜め後ろに控えるブルーホワイトたんの存在を示すような所作をする禿頭おじさん。
「レアン司教の主張は正しかったというわけか」
「認めねばなるまいな」
「しかし、入信してまだ数週間と聞いているが......そんな信仰心の薄い者に天使の階級など......」
「では、あの奇跡は悪魔の偽りだと?」
「いえ......そのような事は......」
ざわめく信徒たちを制するようにレアン司教様が立ち上がる。妙齢の彼女はこの場で唯一の女性だ。
みんなが彼女の言葉を待つように静まり返った。
背筋を伸ばし、厳かに語る彼女の風貌には威厳さえ垣間見える。
「彼の純真なる御心を知った女神さまだからこそ、彼に祝福を与えたのではないでしょうか? でしたら信徒たる我々が取るべき行いは一つでしょう」
言うべき内容は全て語り終えた。そう言わんばかりの堂々とした態度で着席するレアン
それから数分間の時が流れ、最初にみんなへと天使認定議会を行うと言いだした禿頭おじさんが口を開いた。
「では......『読師』、
禿頭おじさんの言に迎合するかのようにみなが重々しく頷いた。
それから天使とは、教会内でどういった役割や立場があるのかなど、簡易的な説明を受ける。
簡単に言えば、象徴的な存在で今まで通り何か特別にするような事はないそうだ。ただ権力や階級は読師よりも遥かにあるため、言動には気を付けるようにと忠告もされた。その辺はレアン司教様が面倒を見てくれる段取りになった。
色々な説明を受けるなか、俺は早く帰りたいなと内心で呟く。
晃夜と夕輝は何してるのかなぁ。
退屈な話を聞きながら、俺は呑気にも校舎内見学をしてるであろう親友たちの姿を連想していた。
厄介な事になっちまったな......。
眼前にはびこる白服の奴らを睨み据えながらも俺、
講堂の裏手にて俺と夕輝を非国民と罵ったソイツ、喧嘩を売って来た白服のうちの一人には見覚えがあった。
先日、『イグニトール殿下に
いつから日本は皇族を狂信的に崇め奉る国になったのか。そんな疑問と軽い皮肉を吐く間も吹き飛ぶ程に、過激な奴らだと身を以って知った。というのも、奴らは町中でありながら、堂々と俺を......俺達を複数人で囲み、殴りかかってきた事は記憶に新しい。
早い話、右腕にギブスと包帯を装着し、肩から吊る事になったのはこいつらのせいだ。
訊太郎から怪我について質問された時は『チンピラを殴り飛ばした』とごまかしたが、こいつらのしつこさと来たらチンピラなど相手にならないぐらいに筋金入りだぜ。
白服の姿を聖イリス学園の講堂内で見た時、煮えくりかえるような憤怒が沸き立ったがそこは理性でねじ伏せた。それは夕輝も同じで、訊太郎には心配をかけたくなかったからな。
あっちも俺達に気付きながらも、あの場では手を出してこなかったが......案の定、朗読会が終われば絡んできたってわけだ。
「綺麗な白の制服を着込んでいながら、やってる事は真っ黒な暴力行為。どこのヤンキー高校の人達かな?」
夕輝の言葉に滲むのは明らかな挑発と苛立ち。こいつにしては珍しく、物事を荒立てる運びにしている理由を瞬時に把握する。
伊達に夕輝と長く友達をやってるわけじゃないからな。
「知らぬふりをしても無駄だ。貴様らがイグニトール殿下に無礼を働いた事は『日本皇立学園』の全校生徒が把握している」
そうだ。
喧嘩をふっかけているのは『日本皇立学園』という、特殊な学院の生徒たちだ。こんな学校の存在は最近まで知りもしなかったが、怪我をさせられた相手となれば俺達が調べないはずがない。ましてや、
結果として、『日本皇立学園』についてわかった事は日本のエリート予備軍の通う学校だという事。大企業や財閥の御曹司、政界トップのご令嬢などなど、将来的に大きな権力を握るであろう少年少女が集められた名門学校だった。
もちろん、その学園の運営を仕切るのが現在の日本の頂点にある皇族、いわゆる天皇家だ。
ったく面倒な野郎たちだ。
そんな奴らを相手に、夕輝は積極的に事件を起こすよう促している。それはここが聖イリス学園の敷地内だからだ。
「イグニトール天皇家を敬う者として、お前らのような非国民は見逃せない」
「非国民がいるって言ったら、ほら。こんなに有志が集ってくれたぞ?」
数にして12人。
小奇麗な、皺ひとつない純白の制服をパリッと着こなす男たち。
そんな大人数の『日本皇立学園』の生徒達が、世界的に影響力のある『
そんな状況でありながら、ここで暴力沙汰でも起こしてみろ。由緒正しき『日本皇立学園』は暴徒の通う危険な施設、という風潮は免れない。
「お前らさ、訊太郎をヤンキー高校に編入させたくて俺らにこんな嫌がらせしてるんだろうけど、無駄だと思うぜ?」
訊太郎の姐さんから先日こっそりと聞いたんだが、訊太郎がこいつらの学校に編入手続きをされる立場になりそうだという。もちろんこれは訊太郎にはオフレコの話だ。
その中でも問題なのが『日本皇立学園』は全寮制だ。
訊太郎と同じ学校に通えなくなるのは嫌だ。それに得体の知れない施設にあいつを預けるなんて選択は......ありえない。皇族が未来の花嫁候補と同じ学び舎で過ごしたい、なんて要望がまかり通ってなるものか。
大方こいつらの狙いは、訊太郎にとって親しい関係にある人間たちを周りからゆすって、訊太郎が『日本皇立学園』への編入を認めれば過激な行いも沈静化すると脅すんだろうな。
先日、問答無用で殴りかかって来た奴らの中には明らかに『
俺と夕輝はおそらく常人より早かったり頑丈だったり、腕力が強くなっている。
ゲーム内のステータスが現実の運動神経や能力に反映されていなければ、俺と夕輝は片腕の骨折だけでは済まなかったはずだ。
刑事事件になりかねない行動をしたにも拘わらず、何事も無くこの場にいられる奴らを見る限り......相当な社会的権力を以って罪を握りつぶしたのだろうか。被害届も通り、賠償金などもこっちに支払われて少年院にぶちこまれたって話だったが......俺達の前に平然と顔を出せるのは、保釈金やらが大いに支払われたなど、そういう事なのだろう。
ようは何度やっても許される立場にあると......。
ならば何度やっても無駄だとわからせればいい。
「チンピラごっこを何度やっても無駄だぜ?」
「っそれはどうだかな......?」
狙いを読んだ俺の指摘に、白服の一人が反論しそうな雰囲気を出すが、それを切って捨てるのは隣の相棒だ。
「由緒正しいヤンキーな君たちがいくらボクらを襲おうとも、さっき訊太郎が披露した朗読会を見れば結果は見えてるよね」
懸念事項の一つは解消された。
『日本皇立学園』と事を構えた場合、果たして『
さっきの演説会で、信徒たちの反応やその場にいたイリス教会のお偉方の反応を見るに、訊太郎の教会内での立場は貴重な存在であると察する事ができた。
まるで聖人扱いだったからな。
それで、そんな聖人を容易く教会が手放すか、といえば否であろう。
聖イリス教会も十分に怪しい組織ではあるが、少なくともこんな暴力的な行動を許す天皇家、『日本皇立学園』の連中に訊太郎を引き渡すよりかはマシだろう。
なにより教会の庇護下にあれば、訊太郎は俺達と一緒に今まで通りの生活を送れる。
大きな勢力には大きな力で以って抗う。利用できるものは利用するってな。
』教会側に印象付け、教会の保護を名目に訊太郎を奴らの思惑から引き離すだけだ。
「おい、こら。覚悟はできてるんだろうな、ひ弱な
元々、あちらから手を出す予定だったのだろうけど、それを促すように俺も挑発を施す。
避けられないのなら、こうして上手い方向に持って行く他ない。
唯一の懸念はこれが訊太郎に伝わってしまう事。正直、あいつには俺達が厄介な奴らに付きまとわれているのを知らせたくはなかった。
心配をかけたくはない。だけどよ、俺達にも個人で対応できる限界点は存在する。当たり前だが、それは相手が大きければ大きいほど、とれる選択肢は、抗える範疇は狭まる。
だから今は......教会の権力を笠にして、ここでの悶着をうまい方向に持って行く他ない。正直、悔しいが俺達には俺達に出来る事を一つずつクリアしていくのが大事なんだ。
「覚悟? 覚悟を問うのはこっちの方だ」
「あぁ、言い忘れてたなぁ。ここにいる
くんが自分の父に、とある子会社への取引量を増やすのを引き換えに、とある子会社に務める一人の男を解雇するようお願いしたらどうなるかな?」
なんて非道な奴らなんだ。
頭が憎悪で熱くなる中、冷静になれと必死に自分を抑える声が響く。
「そのとある子会社は、莫大な利益と一人の男を天秤の計りにかけ、果たしてどちらに重きを置くのかな?」
「そういうわけだ。父親の職を、経済的な生活基盤を揺るがされたくなかったら、わかったな? 日暮晃夜?」
「哀れなシングルファザーで君らを必死に支えているお父さんのために、可愛い弟のために、家族のために、君ができる事はたった一つ」
「今回はそこで大人しく
なんて、なんて性根の腐った奴らなんだ。こんな奴らが......権力で人を脅し、抑えつけるような人間が日本の将来を担う人材だと?
ふざけるな......ふざけるなよ!
焼けるような憤怒が内心で荒れ狂い、今にも飛びかかって暴れ回りたい衝動に駆られるが......奴らを殴り飛ばすためにある、俺の左腕は震えるばかりで動きはしなかった。
親友のために何かできないかと奮闘していた俺だが、家族を盾に取られたらこうも脆くなってしまうとは。そんな俺の非力さを嘲笑うように、白服の奴らは一歩一歩と近づいてくる。
「晃夜、気にしないでくれ。こんな奴ら、ボク一人でどうとでも――グッ」
励ます夕輝に容赦なく拳をめり込ませる白服の一人。
ゲラゲラと笑い声を上げ、非国民には制裁だ! と叫びながら、次々と殴る蹴るの暴行が繰り広げられる。
「っち、こいつ一人の癖になかなかっ」
』か!? 硬いぞ!」
「なんだ、その反抗的な目は! 自分の身分が、家畜同然だって事を徹底的に教え込んでやるよ!」
「おらおら、勢いがなくなってきたなぁ?」
必死な奮戦もむなしく、4人以上の男子生徒に夕輝は羽交い絞めにされた。
そして始まったのが、腹パンの殴打だ。
さすがに騒ぎになってきたのか、周囲に無関係な人間が集まりだすのを横目に俺は歯を食いしばる。
くそっ、誰か警察を呼んでくれ......。
「ちょっと! あなた達! 神聖な学び舎で何をしているの!?」
暴力行為が渦巻く場所に似つかわしくない、幼い女子の声が唐突に響く。俺も含め、全員がその少女へと目をやれば、それは先程訊太郎へツンケンな態度を取っていた女子小学生だった。
彼女は恐怖を必死で抑えているのか、両足がわずかに震えている。それでも看過できない暴力を前に、健気にも仲裁に入ろうとしていた。
手には先程の朗読会で披露した水の入った瓶を持ってな。どうやら自身の水剣を創り出す奇跡で、この場を収めようとしてるってわけか......だが、躊躇なく暴力を振るう奴らが相手じゃそんなもんは無意味だ。
「逃げろ! 警察に通報をッ――」
「おい家畜人間! 誰がしゃべっていいって言った!?」
彼女への警告は横っ面を強打され、むなしくも中断されてしまう。
「神聖なる皇族がおわしめす日本国土に、お前らの信仰が在ると許可されている風情で何を喚く」
「子供は黙ってろよ!」
紀伊子ちゃんが水剣を出すよりも早く、白服の一人が駆け寄った。そしてあろう事か、腹部を思いっきり蹴り上げやがった。
その衝撃にぐったりとへたりこむ彼女を前に、俺の頭は真っ白になる。
あぁ、こいつらはしちゃいけない事をやりやがったな。そう感じた俺は隣にいる馬鹿野郎へ拳を撃ち抜こうと――
「やめるんだッ! その子は関係ないだろう!」
夕輝が制止の声を上げる。
『耐えろ、大丈夫』と、もうしばらくすればこの騒ぎを聞きつけて警察が来る筈だと。親友の瞳がそう俺に語ってきて、何も失うものなんてなくなると説得しているようだった。
俺はその親友の意志を前にそっと震える拳を収める。だが奴らは止まりはしない。夕輝の言葉に呼応して、夕輝の身体を抑え込んでいた奴らが不気味な笑顔を浮かべ始める。
「なんだぁ? こいつ、自分の心配よりも他人の心配してる場合かよ」
「その偽善に免じて、綺麗な顔を潰すのだけは勘弁してやる」
振り被る拳の数々。
一発一発が、夕輝の腹部深くへと突き刺さる。その度に親友はえずき、苦悶の表情を浮かべる。
痛みに耐え、決して屈しない態度を貫く夕輝だったが、ついにはその暴力の的が違う箇所へと移った。
「はぁー君みたいな立場をわきまえてない非国民が一番きらいなんだよねぇ」
そう言って、白服の一人が夕輝の顔面を殴り始めた。
一発、二発、三発と重ねられてゆく暴力。しかし夕輝は、集団リンチを見せつけられる俺を慮っての事なのか、視線に宿る瞳の強さは揺らいではいない。
しかも、『大丈夫だ』と力強くこちらに小さな笑みを向ける程だ。
さすがにこの騒動を目にした周囲の人達が既に警察へと通報したのを察したが、まだ助けは来ない。
ちくしょう、警察は......まだなのか!?
親友が殴られるのを......ただ、眺めているだけしかできないなんて。しかも他人にすがって頼るだけしかできないとか......クソッ!
悔しさのあまり、噛み締められた唇からは鉄の味がした。きっと夕輝は俺の何倍もの濃い味を、その口内いっぱいに広げているだろう。そう思うと、自然と自分の指が砕けそうになるほど力強く握ってしまう。
「なに、こいつ。頑丈すぎない?」
不穏な台詞を吐いた白服が、その手に持っていたのは炭酸飲料水の入った瓶だった。
それはちょっと待て! 危ないだろう!
と、俺の制止よりも早く、その凶器が夕輝の頭へと叩き落とされた。
瓶は粉々に砕け、辺りへと散らばる。
痛みと衝撃で崩れ堕ちる夕輝。それに呼応して、下卑たせせら笑いを一斉に響かせる白服たち。
激しく瓶を打ち付けられた夕輝の、頭部から顎へと一筋の赤い線が走る。
明らかに喧嘩の域を超えた所業に、俺はいてもたってもいられなくなった。
「痛そうだぁ、おらもう一発ぅ! おらおらおらぁ!」
「ぎぃッ......くぅ、はッ......」
危険すぎるだろ!
もう、家族がどうのと言ってられる次元じゃない。
ついに俺は今まで堪えていたものを爆発させるように前へと飛びだした。
お前ら、タダじゃ済まさない。
まずは夕輝を拘束する奴らに向けて、身体ごとタックルをかます。俺の奇襲に対応できなかったようで、無防備な顔に素早く拳を叩き込む。
右頬に強烈な痛みがねじ込まれる。
俺の頬を殴打したのは、白服の中でも特にガタイのいい男の右拳だった。身長は俺より数センチ上、だが横幅がかなりある。その体重が十分にのったパンチを喰らって、たたらをふんでしまう。
夕輝の方をちらりと見れば、何とか拘束からは解放されたようだが――
片腕を包帯で吊ってる状態じゃ、ボコボコにされるのも道理だった。それは俺も同様で、複数人からなる拳のラッシュが、肩や胸、腹や足、そして顔面へと吸い込まれてゆく。
痛みよりも悔しさが先行するなか、俺達はなすすべもなく暴力の名の下に蹂躙された。
「ぐぁあッ......ちくしょ、う」
鈍痛が全身にのしかかり、周囲には不愉快な笑い声と悲鳴で満たされる。
そんな中、全てを切り裂くような鋭い叫び声が――
一つの凛とした声が唐突に響く。
「俺のッ! 俺の親友たちに何してる!」
怒り心頭で濁った俺の視界はしかし、目も覚めるような銀光によって一瞬にして澄んだクリアなものになってゆく。
小柄ながらもその存在感は絶大。
俺達の親友が、銀髪美少女になっちまった親友が助けに来てくれた。
「許さないぞ......」
修羅、とも言える怒髪天を突く表情をしていながら。
の奴は神々しく、綺麗だった。
俺は目頭に込み上げてくる熱いモノを振りきるように、白服の一人を殴り飛ばした。
219 217 Stories Fantastic Vigilance
A wall depicted as if it were a magic formation or something. The windows have a spicy lattice, and the light entering from the outside is shaded, casting a strange shadow indoors.
And the light emitted by the luxurious chandelier suspended from the sky reflects on every dish, and the whole room is lit with a sacred brilliance.
After the recital, I was invited to this room by the followers of the 'Rainbow Goddess (Arco Iris)' Church, especially the great ones, while I said goodbye. Of course, there's also a Lean Priest (Bishop) in there, and apparently she's in my posterior position because she let me in.
Oh, shit.
I can't believe the day is coming when he looks so dazzled.
By the way, Shaking Night and Evening Fai couldn't follow me, so they're waiting inside the school building.
"From this, do the Angel Accreditation Congress with simplicity"
A large desk with a bright white tablecloth, 12 wooden chairs with flavours arranged to surround it. Ten of those legs are buried with people who look great.
Standing in front of those people, I'm full of nervousness.
Quickly respond to the call of your bald uncle with a splendid coat of law.
"Yes, sir"
Uncle Bald Head does what he does to show the presence of Blue White Tang, who spreads his arms to speak to the great man on the spot and refrains behind my right diagonal.
"Are you saying Bishop Lean was right?"
"You have to admit it."
"But I've heard that it's only been a few weeks since I arrived... to such a faithless person, such as the rank of angel..."
"So you think that miracle is the devil's falsehood?
"No... such a thing..."
Bishop Lean rises to take control of the defiant faithful. At her age, she is the only woman in this room.
Everyone quieted back to wait for her words.
I can even glimpse majesty into her look stretching her spine and speaking harshly.
"Haven't you blessed him because you're the goddess who found out his innocent will? Then the faithful will have one thing to do."
I'm done talking about everything that needs to be said. There was a deep silence in each of them who dropped off Bishop Lean (Bishop), who would be seated with such grandeur.
Then a few minutes passed and Uncle Bald opened his mouth when he first told everyone that he would have an Angel Certification Council.
"So... we have to set the date for the Angel Certification Ceremony for the" Reader ", Buddha (two) Shintaro"
Everyone nodded heavily as if to meet Uncle Bald Head's words.
Then angels are briefly explained, such as what roles and positions they have within the Church.
Simply put, there's nothing special about being symbolic. He was also advised to be careful what he said and did, because power and class are far more than readers. Bishop Lean took care of the area.
After all the explanations, I whine in my heart that I want to go home soon.
I wonder what Shaking Night and Evening Fai are doing.
Listening to boring stories, I was associating myself with my best friends, who would be taking a swallowing tour of the school building.
You've got a problem...
Even as I stare at the white men in front of me, I feel so foolish inside.
Soitz, who cursed me and Evening Fai with non-nationals behind the auditorium, looked familiar to one of the white clothes who came to sell the fight.
The other day, they cursed "vulgar people who worked for His Highness Ignitol" and attacked them without question. When His Highness Ignitol signed up for an engagement to Shintaro, it was shown on television that we had come forward to block the way to Shintaro, but he didn't care what he did.
Since when has Japan become a country that fanatically worships and worships the royal family? I knew they were radical enough to blow up even during such questioning and mild irony. Because while they're all over town, they make a grand mess of me... surrounding us with multiple people and beating us up is new to my memory.
Early on, they put Gibbs and a bandage on his right arm and it was these guys who got to hang him from his shoulder.
When Shintaro asked me about the injury, he deceived me into saying, "I beat the crap out of my dick," but when I get here with these guys' perseverance, I'm so muscled that I won't be dealing with the crap out of them.
When I saw the figure of the white clothes in the auditorium of St. Illis School, the simmering rage boiled down but twisted there with reason. That's the same for Evening Fai, and I didn't want to worry about Shintaro.
Even though he noticed us, he didn't show his hand on the spot... but after the recital, he was involved.
"What you're doing while wearing a beautiful white uniform is an act of black violence. Which Yankee High School people?
Sewing into Evening Fai's words is obvious provocation and frustration. It's rare for this guy and instantly grasps why he's making things a rough haul.
I haven't been friends with Evening Fai for a long time.
"It's no use pretending you don't know. Your disrespect for His Highness Ignitol is known to the students of the Royal School of Japan."
That's right.
It is the students of a special college called the Royal Japanese Academy that is plunging the fight. We didn't even know this school existed until recently, but if we were the ones who got hurt, we wouldn't be looking into it. Not to mention, you can't be interested in an institution that might have something to do with the person you proposed to Shintaro.
As a result, what I found out about the Royal Japanese Academy was that it was a school attended by an elite Japanese reserve. It was a prestigious school where boys and girls who would hold great power in the future, such as the great corporations, the treasurer's chief cadet, and the leading political courtier, were gathered.
Of course, it is the royal family, the so-called imperial family, at the apex of Japan today that separates the operation of that school.
Those are troublesome bastards.
Against those guys, Evening Fai is actively urging them to make a case. That's because this is the property of St. Illis School.
"As those who revere the Emperor Ignitol, non-citizens like you cannot be missed"
"When I say there are non-citizens, you see. You've gathered so much will, haven't you?
Twelve in number.
Men dressed in crisp, wrinkle-free, pure white uniforms.
Such an adult number of students at the Royal School of Japan will not be free if they make an incident within this St. Iris School, at the knees of the influential "Rainbow Goddess (Arco Iris)" Church worldwide. Well, their top emperor has officially stated that he will coordinate with the Church of St. Britain.
Try to wake me up here in a violent shack, while that's the situation. The tide is inevitable that "Royal School of Japan" is a dangerous facility for thugs to attend.
"You guys, I know you're harassing us like this for wanting Shintaro to join Yankee High School, but I don't think it's worth it, huh?
Shintaro's wife snuck up on me the other day and told me that Shintaro was going to be in a position to be integrated into these guys' schools. Of course, this is an off-the-record story for Shintaro.
The problem is that the Royal Japanese Academy is an all-door system.
I don't like being unable to attend the same school as Shintaro. Besides, there's no way you could have chosen to keep him in a facility you don't know how to handle. What a request that the royal family wants to spend time in the same study hall as the future bridesmaid candidate.
I guess Daitaro's aim is to soothe the people close to Shintaro and threaten to sedate their radical actions if Shintaro admits to the "Royal Japanese School".
A few of the guys who were beaten up without question the other day obviously had a peculiar ability to be called 'talented (holder)'. There will be a good chance this time.
Me and Evening Fai are probably faster or tougher than normal people, or stronger in arms.
If the status in the game hadn't been reflected in real life motor nerves and abilities, me and Evening Fai wouldn't have had just one arm fracture.
As far as the guys who can stay on this scene without a thing, even though they acted in a way that could be a criminal case... did they use considerable social power to crush their sins? We talked about the damage report, the compensation, etc. being paid over here and hit in juvie... but I guess that's what makes me look so flat in front of us, such as bail being paid a lot.
He said he was in a position to be forgiven no matter how many times he finally did it......
Then you just have to let them know it's no use doing it again and again.
"No matter how many times you do a dick job, it's no use, okay?
"What about that...?
One of the white clothes creates an atmosphere that one might argue with when I read the aim, but it's the partner next door who cuts it and throws it away.
"No matter how much you Yankees attacked us, if you look at the recital that Shintaro presented earlier, you'll see the results."
One of the concerns was resolved.
In the case of the "Royal School of Japan", there was some anxiety as to whether the Church side of the "Rainbow Goddess (Arco Iris)" would protect Shintaro (Tsutaro)...
In an earlier speech, to see the reaction of the faithful and the reaction of the great men of the Church of England who were on the spot, it was possible to perceive Shintaro's position within the Church as valuable.
Because he was treated like a saint.
So the Church will let go of such saints with ease, or not.
The Church of St. Illis is also a suspicious enough organization, but it would be better than handing over Shintaro to the imperial family, the "Royal School of Japan", who at least allow such violent action.
More importantly, under the shelter of the Church, Shintaro will be able to live the life he has always lived with us.
Fight the great forces with great force. I use what's available.
Now, all we have to do is impress the "Rainbow Goddess (Arco Iris)" church side that "The Royal School of Japan" is a radical schoolhouse, and remove Shintaro from their thoughts in the name of church protection.
"Hey, here. I guess you're ready, you weak bastards."
I know you originally planned to get your hands on it from over there, but I'm gonna provoke you to do that, too.
If it's inevitable, there's no other way to take it in the right direction.
The only concern is that this will be passed on to Shintaro. Honestly, I didn't want him to know that we were being followed by troublesome people.
I don't want to worry about it. But there are limits to what we can do personally. Naturally, but the bigger the opponent, the narrower the options you can take.
So now...... there is no other way to kass the power of the Church and take the stuffiness here in a good direction. Honestly, I regret it, but it's important that we clear up what we can do one by one.
"Ready? It's this way to ask if you're ready."
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. I'm here with Mitsumishi, his famous Mitsumishi Heavy Industries Sousuke. I mean, it's a trail, right?
"Now, what happens if this Mitsumishi asks his father to fire a man who serves as a subsidiary in exchange for increasing the volume of transactions with a subsidiary?
What outrageous people they are.
As my head gets hateful and hot, I hear a voice desperately suppressing myself to calm down.
"One of those subsidiaries weighs enormous profits and one man on the scale, and to which do they weigh in fulfillment?
"That's why. If you don't want your father's job to shake your financial life base, you get it? Sunset night?
"There's only one thing you can do for your father desperately supporting you with your pathetic single fathers, for your lovely brother, for your family"
"Keep an eye out for a lot of people there this time (...)"
Oh, my God, what rotten people with sexual roots. These people... people who threaten and suppress people with power are the people responsible for the future of Japan?
Don't be ridiculous... don't be ridiculous!
A burning rage rages wildly inside, driven by the urge to still jump and ramble around... but to beat them up, my left arm just trembled and didn't move.
I was struggling to see if I could do something for my best friend, but I didn't know this would get brittle if they took my family as a shield. Like ridiculing my powerlessness like that, the white guys approach me step by step.
"Shake the night, never mind. These guys, I don't care if I'm alone. - Grr."
One of the white clothes that relentlessly punches his fists into the encouraging Evening Fai.
Guerraggera and laughter, sanctions for non-citizens! screaming, one kick after another assault is repeated.
"Eh, it's not a habit for one of these guys"
"Shh! Is this guy 'talented (holder)' too!? It's hard!"
"What, those defiant eyes! I will teach you thoroughly that your identity is the same as that of a livestock!
"Whoa, you're losing momentum?
The desperate struggle was also muddled, and Evening Fai was strangled with feathers by more than four male students.
And it started with a beating of belly bread.
You're just starting to make a scene, and I eat my teeth off at the sidelines of irrelevant people gathering around me.
Damn, someone call the police......
"Hey! You guys! What are you doing in a sacred study house!?
The voice of a young woman sounds abruptly, not like a place where violence swirls. If everyone, including me, looked at the girl, it would have been a girl elementary school who had a tunkened attitude to Shintaro earlier.
Is she desperately suppressing her fears, with her legs shaking slightly? Before the violence, which I still can't see, I was trying to get healthy into arbitration.
Grab a bottle of water in your hand that was presented at the recital earlier. Apparently, it's a miracle that creates its own water sword, and you're trying to put this place away... but it's pointless for them to be violent without hesitation.
"Run, call the police."
"Hey livestock man! Who told you to talk!?
The warning to her is hit hard on the horizontal side and interrupted naggingly.
"What will the Holy Royal Family summon to the land of Japan in a manner that is permitted for your faith to exist"
"Shut the fuck up, kid!
One of the white clothes rushed over faster than Kiiko put out a water sword. And then I kicked my abdomen up as much as I wanted.
My head turns white in front of her.
Yeah, these guys did something they shouldn't have done. I felt like I was shooting my fist out at the idiot next door.
"Stop it! That kid won't matter!
Evening Fai raises a voice of restraint.
"Bear with it, it's okay," he said, and the police should be here in a while to hear this noise. That's what my best friend's eyes told me, and he seemed to convince me there was nothing left to lose.
I hold a fist that trembles gently before the will of my best friend. But they don't stop. In response to Evening Fai's words, the guys who were suppressing Evening Fai's body start smiling creepy.
"What? This guy is more worried about other people than he is about himself."
"I'll spare you that hypocrisy, and I'll give you a break just to crush your beautiful face"
A bunch of fists to be shaken.
One shot at a time pierces deep into Evening Fai's abdomen. Every time, my best friend doesn't come along and gives me a distressed look.
It was Evening Glow who endured the pain and penetrated an attitude of never giving in, but at last the violent nature moved to a different place.
"Ha-ha. It's the hardest thing for a non-citizen who hasn't taken up a position like you."
That said, one of the white clothes began to punch Evening Fai in the face.
Violence stacked with one, two or three shots. But Evening Fai doesn't shake the strength of her gaze when she thinks about me showing off her group lynching.
Besides, 'I'm fine' is enough to turn a small grin on this one forcefully.
I just sensed that the people around me who saw this commotion have already called the police, but no help has come yet.
Damn, the police... not yet!?
I can't believe my best friend gets beat up... I just can't believe I'm watching. Besides, you can only rely on someone else... damn it!
Too much remorse, the taste of iron from the bitten lips. I'm sure Evening Fai will be spreading many times my darker flavor all over its mouth. That makes me grip so hard that nature and my fingers are about to smash.
"What, this guy. Not too sturdy?
A bottle of carbonated drinking water was what the white clothes that threw up the disturbing dialogue had in their hands.
Wait a minute for that! It'll be dangerous!
And, faster than my suppression, the murder weapon was slapped down on Yuehui's head.
The bottle is shattered and scattered around.
Evening glow crumbles and falls with pain and shock. White clothes that echo it and make a humble spiral laugh in unison.
A string of red lines runs from head to jaw, of heavily bottled Evening Glow.
Obviously, I couldn't stay in a business beyond the boundaries of a fight.
"Sounds painful, oh one more shot! Whoa, whoa, whoa!
"Geez... ku, ha..."
You're too dangerous!
It's not a dimension my family can say anymore.
Finally, I jumped forward to explode what I had been enjoying.
You guys, I can't do this for free.
First, we'll tackle each other physically for the guys who restrain Evening Fai. He couldn't seem to cope with my surprise attack, punching his fist quickly into his defenseless face.
Intense pain is screwed in the right cheek.
Beating me in the cheek was the right fist of a particularly good Gatai man in white clothes. He's a few centimeters taller than me, but he's a lot wider than me. I eat a punch that weighs enough and fluff it.
If you look at Evening Fai, you seem to have managed to be released from custody.
With one arm hanging in a bandage, it made sense to get bumped out. That's the same for me, with a fist rush of multiple people sucking into my shoulders, chest, belly, feet, and face.
As remorse preceded pain, we were ravaged in the name of violence.
"Guh...... Damn, let's"
Blunt pain hits my whole body and fills my surroundings with unpleasant laughter and screams.
In the meantime, there's a sharp scream that rips everything apart.
One Rin voice sounds abruptly.
"Mine! What are you doing to my best friends!
My vision clouded with anger. But the silver light that awakens makes me clear in an instant.
Its presence, though small, is immense.
Our best friend, who turned into a silver-haired girl, came to help us.
"I won't forgive you..."
Shura, while he has the expression of poking at his angry hair heaven that can be said to be.
Shintaro's guy was divine and beautiful.
I punched one of my white clothes out like I was waving a hot thing in my head.
