Chapter 111
[Collapse of the Encounter]
Utsusemi-san immediately decided to impose this trouble on me and left the room .
His judgment at such times ais top notch .
Or rather, executive meeting? He’s the type who doesn’t care about such a thing at all . I should have stopped him with all my might .
Looking back on the current troublesome situation, I decide to sort out the situation .
For the time being, what’s with this girl…?
She suddenly appeared, fainted here, and left behind mysterious words .
I try to turn the fallen white-haired girl back on her back .
She is quite light . She wears a white robe… or rather a piece of patient gown on her bare body; it is buttoned messily, leaving the pit of her stomach open .
She seems to have fainted, but the sounds of her heartbeat and breathing are normal .
She is younger than me as far as she looks .
Even though I look at her closely, I don’t recall ever seeing her in the hideout .
As expected, I should report this . To Boss or Shido-san, or someone around their status .
However, if I do that, they will find out that I was here .
…But I feel like they will find out about it eventually .
In that case, my punishment would probably be as heavy as Utsusemi-san’s .
If possible, I would like to hide it somehow…
While I’m thinking about it, I notice something .
This girl, she doesn’t have a key card…
I try to search the pocket and the inside of her patient gown . However, I don’t find a key card anywhere .
…How did she come in?
Was it ability?
*Put* Come the sound of the monitor behind me turning off . The listing of characters that was projected is painted black now .
I feel like getting out of this quiet room quickly .
This girl is also creepy anyway, and I feel like I’m being watched by the brain floating up and down behind me .
“……”
After thinking in the quiet room for a while, I decide to leave everything alone .
I will not report it, nor will I care for this strange girl .
I was just dragged in by Utsusemi-san .
Besides, they must know which one to be trusted between Utsusemi-san who has such a personality and me who have faithfully carried out the missions of the organization .
Then, I just need to wash my hands off this matter . With a mix of suitable lies, I can lay all the blames on Utsusemi-san .
I was just dragged in forcibly in the first place, so I’m not at fault .
Just that, I feel a little guilty for my self-centered thought .
Thinking that far, I leave the girl alone and leave Observer’s room .
After leaving the room while being cautious of the area so that no one could see me, I return to the floor where my room is .
Then, I walk in the crowded corridor toward my room(although it is a shared room with Roll) .
Compared to the 5th basement floor, there are a lot of people on this 2nd basement floor . It seems that the number of members on duty today is quite small, as Roll said it would take some time to get permission to go out .
That’s right . I completely forgot, but I wonder if Roll has already returned to the room .
It’s just right . With this, if I immediately set out on a vacation for two weeks, the matter just now will be settled properly .
While feeling good after coming up with a good idea, I finally reach my room, and when I open the door, Roll welcomes me .
“Listen to this, Shion . ”

When she starts with such words, it means she will complain . There must be something making her angry when she was getting the permission to go out .
I reply while making such a prediction, “What happened?”
“For some reason, I couldn’t get permission to go out . ”
Hearing something unexpected from Roll, I reflexively stiffen . But, I recover immediately .
“Eh? For real? Why?”
“It seems that due to the traffic condition of the surface, they don’t give out permission to go out today . That’s why there are only small number of people going out on mission today . ”
Dammit, why today .
I ask so that Roll doesn’t notice my inner feeling,
“How long is it?”
“It seems that we can get the permission tomorrow, but I think the office work will be crowded . There are many members who want to take vacation too after all . ”
“I see . Let’s get permission in the morning . ”
I don’t know if I’ll be safe today though . I want to get rid of this anxiety as soon as possible .
“…? Well, that’s fine, but you seem quite eager . ”
While saying that, Roll go to the inner part of the room . I also follow after her and sit on the sofa .
“Well, that’s because I want to go on a trip with Roll as soon as possible . It’s been a long time since we have days off after all . ”
“Mou,” Roll laughs shyly . It seems that she was packing travel luggage, as the room is littered with her various personal belongings .
“So where are we going?”
“Don’t you have somewhere you want to go, Shion?”
I want to go somewhere far away not here . A place where I can safely relax .
I didn’t dare to voice out such a request .

“Nothing comes to my mind . ”
“Then… right . How about Deal-Bell?”
Deal-Bell, huh . It sure is not a city that left me with many good memories .
Was it exactly a year ago? The city where we failed our mission for the first time .
At that time, Roll, who was protecting me, was seriously injured, and after that, we managed to survive with the help of Tameiki-san .
However, Deal Bell is a good city . Facing the sea, it is a famous tourist destination .
And this season should be the opening of the beachgoing season . It’s a quite long way from here; going to Deal Bell may be a good idea .
“That might be good . But we’re not going to stay at Deal Bell all the time, right?”
“Obviously . It would be fun to decide the next destination at wherever we go . ”
Suddenly, my phone vibrates .
I take it out and check the sender, it is from Utsusemi-san .
[What happened to ‘that’?]
I frown .
If we talk about it in email, it would leave trace, right…
No, it doesn’t matter for Utsusemi-san, huh . Everyone knows that Utsusemi-san is such a person, and he was often let off due to his nature . He even challenged General Enjoji without any plan, it’s like he doesn’t know what fear is in the first place .
When I think about it, it may be encouraging in a sense . His unquestionable persistence is suitable to make him as a target to lay blame on .
“From whom?”
Roll asks, so I answer,
“It’s from Utsusemi-san . ”
“Utsusemi? If I’m not mistaken, there is an executive meeting today, right?”

It seems that he didn’t lie when he said there is an executive meeting .
“If it’s that person, he would probably play with his phone even during a meeting . ”
“Ah~…”
The use of phone and the likes is prohibited during the meeting, and at worst, it may be confiscated before it starts, but Utsusemi-san does not care about such a thing .
He is the man who entered Observer’s room without permission .
The ringtone of the phone rings . It is also an email from Utsusemi-san .
“Shion, since when did you get along with him?”
“You got it wrong . It’s just that he one-sidedly getting into contact with me . ”
I say with an emphasizing tone, then I reluctantly open the email .
[It seems that there will be a talk about you in today’s meeting too, so come here . ]
“What’s wrong?” Roll says when she sees me frowning again .
“Well, he told me to come to the conference room . ”
“Why?”
“I don’t know . ”
Or rather, I’m on vacation right now . Why do I have to attend the meeting?
However, now that it has come to this, I have no choice but to go .
There is a possibility that Utsusemi-san is lying, but I have to go to confirm it .
“I’ll go out for a while . ”
“Okay . I’ll wait for you . ”
After I leave the room with Roll’s consent, I head to the conference room downstairs .
