Maya looked at the schoolyard through the window of the principal’s office .
The sun had completely gone, the light of the fire storm brilliantly made the figures of the happy and noisy students stand out . *
*TN: Fire storm means a large number of people especially students that sing and dance around a bonfire at night .
The closing event of the festival .
Everyone sang, danced and some others talked with a smile on their faces with the sole purpose of enjoying the festival until the last drop .
But Moroha wasn’t among the students .
Satsuki, Shizuno, Leshya and Haruka weren’t there either .
The same applied to Mari and the members of Strikers .
They were dispatched to the battlefield with Edward and Charles .
The information about that was gradually spreading within the school .

The students who were having fun and were making noise probably didn’t know anything yet .
But Maya didn’t feel like reproaching them .
If just fighting was justice and having fun everyday was something evil, then the former Russian way would become a model and there wouldn’t be a need for Akane Academy to exist .
(That thinking is absolutely wrong desu)
Maya embraced the lots of notes she took throughout the day in her chest .
She remembered .
Last night, Mari got a call from Edward .
『I had no doubt that Takanashi was the one who schemed to imprison Jack . I gave a severe warning to the leaders and Jack was acquitted and cleared of everything』
Edward smiled cheerfully and Maya and Mari were relieved .
──For a brief space of time .
『But I don’t trust the Japanese Division . To be more precise, I’m talking about that Andou』

Edward lowered the tone of his voice and said so .
When the name of the Japanese Division Head Suruga Andou came out, Mari hardened her facial expression .
『I can’t read that man’s mind at all . Charles and Lightning Empress were troublesome people, but it was easy to understand what they were thinking . They were clearly political opponents . However, what Andou thinks about, what he wants, who his allies or enemies are, I know nothing at all』
Mari asked a question to Edward who talked about it with a tedious tone of voice .
『In other words… sooner or later, Division Head Suruga himself might really dislike Haimurkun and start his elimination… is that what you mean?』
『I see that possibility not being zero』
Edward replied, sounding deplorable .
And silence came down for a short while .
Maya gazed at the kind Mari-onee-chan next to her reflecting on it with a stern face .
It was Edward who opened his mouth again .
With a seemingly happy and proud tone of voice,
『Moroha is an incredible “jack-in-the-box” . Have you heard? Actually, I had foreseen that Moroha would appear and cut the《Order》in two . He’ll slowly spend his time doing so… yes, until around Moroha graduates . However, in reality, he’s moving in a different direction, laughing at my thoughts . That arrogant Lightning Empress has become docile thanks to Moroha and that twisted Charles definitely has a favorable impression about Moroha . He’s incredible, isn’t he? Who could have expected something like this? The《Order》now is trying to unify as a monolithic organization with Moroha at the heart of it』
*TN: Order is the furigana reading for White Knight Organization .
After that, he completely changed, and with a serious tone of voice,
『It’s the best feeling . If it can be interrupted, it would be irresistible』
Whether that one was Suruga Andou .
Or anyone .
Mari agreed and Maya nodded .
『I’m Moroha’s ally』
『Thank you』
『And it’s many times better if he has even one ally . A strong ally . And if possible, friends whom Moroha can trust . In that respect, I feel tantalized that I can’t earn his trust』
Edward made a joke at the end, but he gave his thanks .
Maya’s consciousness returned to reality .
She turned the pages of the memo she embraced in her chest .
Today, Maya reconfirmed and read the collected information one by one .
Ranjou Satsuki .
Urushibara Shizuno .
Elena Arshavina .
And Momochi Haruka .
Reliable companions surrounded Moroha .
The girls that Moroha met, talked with and connected with one another here .
– Don’t worry, sir . Mari-onee-chan’s school exists for that reason desu .
No one was alone here .
Nobody would be allowed to be alone here .
Maya prayed so that Moroha and everyone returned to Akane Academy safely as she kept staring at the bright, cheerful and blazing fire storm .
