"Hakuri-kun, judging from the current situation... could it be that Yukinoshita also..."
“You’re right, Hiratsuka-sensei, Yukino knows all this too.”
Is that her reason for changing?
"Change?"
"You know Yukino's personality, right..."
Yukino Yukinoshita doesn't try to please those around her and hates that kind of behavior. Even if she gets isolated because of it, Yukino will stick to her own ideas.
Moreover, she is assertive in her dealings with others, strict with herself and others, and hates failure.
But Shizuka Hiratsuka discovered that Yukino had suddenly changed...
“When you weren’t at school, I saw Yukino talking and interacting with students from other classes, and she seemed very natural; also, according to the information Yui gave me, she seems to be collecting information about the school’s seven mysteries.”
Hiratsuka Shizuka continued her recollection
"Now it seems that she might be worried that the school's students might be involved with the Seven Mysteries? After all, those anomalies could be caused by evil spirits."
Because she knew the truth about the world, Hiratsuka Shizuka viewed things from a different perspective.
Baili believes this guess has a high probability of being correct.
He just hadn't heard Yukino mention it.
Perhaps in Yukino's eyes, this little thing wasn't worth reporting...
Hearing the conversation between the two, Kirisu Mafuyu, who was sitting to the side, nodded repeatedly.
"That's true, I think it makes a lot of sense. Some of the rumors circulating at school now seem quite dangerous! Some of them even involve going to the back mountain of the school at midnight to look for will-o'-the-wisps or something."
When Kirisu Mafuyu thought about these things, images of the terrifying evil spirit 807 popped into her mind.
It can only be said that everything she had seen before had a great impact on her worldview.
Having finished her black tea, Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't ask Levi to refill her cup.
She stood up and looked towards the entrance.
"Baili Jun, since you've been so busy lately, I won't bother you any longer."
"Ah, me too...!"
Seeing her do this, Kirisu Mafuyu also left her seat.
This time, Baili didn't let the maids do it for him; instead, he personally escorted the two teachers to the door.
"Baili Jun, those evil spirits shouldn't just appear in human dwellings, right?"
"No, it's unlikely. Hiratsuka-sensei, don't worry. Even if you see it, you just need to contact me."
"That's good……"
Hiratsuka Shizuka felt a little relieved.
After changing her shoes, Kirisu Mafuyu gave a wry smile.
"Sorry, Baili, I thought there weren't many people in your family right now, so you only bought a small amount of snacks."
"It's alright, Kirisu-sensei, the sentiment is what matters most."
"Hmm... but I still hope that Baili can come to school if he has time. I hope he won't have to go out and fight evil spirits every day?"
"That's true, I'll think about it."
"Also... a student named Chihaya Aine asked me about your recent situation, but I heard from other classmates that the first-year student and you were already on good terms and often had lunch together, so has she not contacted you?"
“Aine, I received a call from her, but I just brushed it off. I guess she thinks that Kirisu-sensei, as a teacher, knows the real situation better.”
Baili plans to find some time to explain this to Aine and the others.
After listening to "Spring Shadows" that day and feeling a sense of harmony, we never met in person again.
At this moment, Hiratsuka Shizuka and Kirisu Mafuyu pushed open the door and arrived at the place where they had been kidnapped.
However, instead of leaving immediately, Hiratsuka Shizuka walked to Hyakusato's side and whispered...
"Baili-kun, although I can't help with exorcising evil spirits, you can discuss other issues with the teacher."
"Another question?"
"Just now in the living room, I noticed a lot of girls looking at you. Your life from now on won't be peaceful."
Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was in charge of the life guidance teacher, observed very carefully.
However, Baili smiled and said easily.
"Don't worry about that, they get along very well."
"Huh? Is that so? Really?"
"Of course it's true. I don't think there's any point in lying about this. You can't exactly use it as an excuse to have a life talk with Professor Hiratsuka."
"That's fine too, but... you seem to enjoy each other's company. Bai Li-kun is truly unfathomable."
Hiratsuka Shizuka was quite surprised by Hyakusato's skill in handling interpersonal relationships.
Even Kirisu Mafuyu, who was excluded, ran to the front of the Hundred Mile Bridge.
"What are you talking about?"
"It's just a trivial matter, Mr. Kirisu, don't worry about it."
"I am clearly Baili's homeroom teacher."
Kirisu Mafuyu glanced at Hiratsuka Shizuka.
Hiratsuka Shizuka, hands in her pockets, was the first to leave, leaving behind the words, "I have no intention of stealing students."
"It's not like we're stealing students."
Watching Hiratsuka Shizuka's retreating figure, Kirisu Mafuyu, who had initially voiced her disapproval, then turned to Hyakusato.
"I can't help with exorcising evil spirits, but you can always come to me with other problems, Baili."
"Thank you, Kirisu-sensei."
"Well... let's meet again sometime."
Like Shizuka Hirazuka, Mafuyu Kirisu, who had exchanged phone numbers with Hyakuri, caught up with the former who had come with her, and the two headed towards the station.
Seeing that the teachers had fully accepted everything that had happened, Baili was fairly satisfied.
"It's quite easy to conjure up any evil spirit and make them believe it."
It seems like both Hiratsuka Shizuka and Kirisu Mafuyu are very easy to fool...
Just as Baili was about to head back, he received a phone call.
It wasn't Yukino, nor Aine, but... Ayase Momo.
The moment the medium girl pressed the answer button in Baili—
[Baili! Baili! Baili! It's me! It's me! It's me!]
“I know who it is, Ayahoshiko.”
That's my grandma!!
"So it was Haruka Ayase."
[Where is that actress from?]
"So what do you want from me, Peach?"
"That's...! Oh, that's my nickname. Anyway, I want to ask Mr. Baili for a favor! The reward... the reward is my allowance for one month!"
Baili had no interest in the girl's allowance.
He directly asked what he needed to do.
"Are you in trouble?"
It's not really a hassle. I recently received an investigation request, but it's not the new request for Grandma that I mentioned on the phone before!
"Speak the key."
Okay, the task is to investigate why the pet cats and dogs have gone missing. Based on the information we have, someone heard a group of cats and dogs barking at an abandoned nursing home, so I plan to go check it out.
After hearing the description, Baili thought it was quite ordinary.
"I think you can handle it yourself."
[This abandoned nursing home isn't far from where Mr. Hyakuri was drinking with Ms. Nanatsu. I think it would be better to investigate this as soon as possible.]
Momo Ayase gave other reasons.
Recently, Baili has been visiting many izakayas and pubs on the recommendation of Qicaoqi.
He thought they were all pretty good.
Even so, Baili did not intend to waste time going there in person.
He planned to have his maids accompany Ayase Momo to investigate.
"It does have a certain priority; I'll have someone contact you."
[They sent someone to find me; wasn't it supposed to be Mr. Baili coming in person?]
"The people I send over can solve the problem just as well."
[If it weren't for Mr. Baili... I! I'll change the payment! As long as Mr. Baili comes in person, I'll accept any request!]
"Even without this reward, I can still get what I want."
[That’s right…]
Ayase Momo sounded very disappointed.
Baili has a lot to do tonight.
In addition to arranging and planning for the girls to participate in the ranking game, I also plan to give Rias and her maid, Griffith, another lesson.
That night... Griffith, who had read the book, was not yet proficient in practical application.
Continuing education is essential.
