"Really? If it was an accident last time, what about this time? If you weren't nearsighted, why would you think I'm a lazy bum with nothing to do?" Makoto grumbled.

"Eh? Yotsuba-san, aren't you free? I remember there's a Japanese term specifically designed for people like you who don't participate in club activities... I think it's called 'Homecoming Club'?"

Lina put her finger to her lips and said in an innocent tone.

After several days of fighting, although she is still at a disadvantage, Lina has learned a lot compared to the beginning and can occasionally fight back.

"What's wrong with the Home Return Department? It doesn't mean we're idle. I still have things to do when I get home."

Zhenxun rolled her eyes at her slightly.

Today is Friday, and we'll have a holiday tomorrow. He was originally planning to go to Arcadia tonight to visit the children, the Holy Emperor, and Kisaragi, but this little spy ruined everything!

"really?"

Lina, looking very interested, blocked his way, put her hands behind her back, leaned forward slightly, and asked curiously, "Hey, can you share with me what Yotsuba does when she gets home?"

"****, and it's very impolite to pry into other people's privacy, Lina."

“(ˉ▽￣～) Tch～～, you stingy person.”

Lina puffed out her cheeks in displeasure.

She doesn't look like the captain of Stars at all; she really does seem to be just a sixteen-year-old girl.

She is well-mannered, lively, and sometimes a little arrogant.

If I hadn't known all this beforehand, I probably would have been deceived by her appearance.

Mahiro led Lina through every club on campus, eventually returning to the teaching building. As they passed an empty corridor, Mahiro spoke again:

"By the way, Lina, do you know Gianhilis?"

The sudden question made Lina stop in her tracks, and even her heart skipped a beat.

Again.

Why are you asking such strange questions again? Have you found out about me? If you have, please stop torturing me like this!

Lina thought this to herself, but outwardly she said:

"No, I...I know, he is an apostle of our USNA. I've heard he's a very powerful magician, but unfortunately I've never seen him."

She initially wanted to say she didn't know, but then she realized that she was from the USNA and that saying she didn't know would arouse suspicion, so she quickly changed her answer and tried to remain as calm as possible.

"Really? I thought you were going to say you didn't know, Lina."

Zhenxun smiled slightly, but that smile was quite meaningful.

"But speaking of which, Lina, your name really does sound like this apostle's."

"Eh...Eh? What do you mean?" Lina was really flustered now.

Could it be that they've actually found out?

The other party was just a high school student after all; how could they possibly guess that he was Sirius?

But what she heard next made her even more alarmed.

“Look, if you write the surname Hillous in English, it's Shields, which means shield or protective shield. It just happens to sound the same as your surname Shields, Lina.”

And then there's the name Gian, which happens to be Lina's full name..."

Swah——

A sound of breaking wind suddenly occurred.

Instinctively, he leaned back, only to see long, slender fingernails flash past his face.

That was Lina's hand chop.

He then shifted his feet slightly to create some distance, and smiled at the girl:

"Oh dear, what's wrong? Can't keep up the act anymore, Major Sirius Gian Hillious?"

"You bastard, you knew my identity all along, didn't you! You've been deliberately torturing me all this time, haven't you?!"

"Yes, I knew your identity from the day we first met at the shrine. But tormenting you? Not really, it was more like teasing you. Who could blame me when Major Hillius's reactions were so adorable?"

"asshole....."

Lina gritted her teeth, as if she were burning with rage.

But the next second, all the anger subsided.

Whether it was due to too much stimulation or something else, Lina suddenly revealed a radiant smile.

It's not a smile as beautiful as a flower, but a smile with the sharpness and beauty of a blade.

His gaze shifted from gentle to sharp, and he straightened his body slightly.

"Let me reintroduce myself. I am Major Angelina Hillious, the commander of STARS, the magic-wielding unit directly under the USNA Military Intelligence and Joint Staff Headquarters. Angelina Hillious is the name I use when I'm in disguise. Please call me Lina as you have so far."

The murderous aura that had been wrapped in a thin film called etiquette until now is exposed and comes out like a storm.

Lina chose to stop hiding.

"Yotsuba-kun, now that you know my true identity, I'm sorry, but even if I don't want to do this, I have no choice but to eliminate you."

Enveloped in a thick killing intent, Mahiro slowly revealed a fearless smile.

"Is that so? If you can kill me, then feel free to try."

"Hmph, arrogant bastard..."

Lina gave a soft hum, a melodious sound, but it also became the signal for war.

In an instant, the girl's figure disappeared from the spot, as if she had prepared a self-acceleration spell during the conversation.

As if teleporting, leaving an afterimage, he appeared in front of Mahiro, once again transforming his hand into a blade, aiming at the area below Mahiro's chin and striking sharply with minimal movement.

Unfortunately, it was stopped just before it reached his throat, and he watched in disbelief as Mahiro grabbed his wrist.

Her tactics were actually seen through?!

Is this bastard really a high school student?!

"This is truly dangerous magic."

Looking at the light swirling around her palm, Mahiro couldn't help but exclaim, "'Molecular cutting,' I remember it was a secret technique created by Major William Hillius, the former captain of the Stars. I didn't expect that Lina, you not only inherited the position, rank, and title, but also the secret technique!"

"Asshole, let me go!"

Upon hearing him mention William Hillious, Lina became agitated and, as before, swung her left hand, only to have it caught by Shinji's other hand.

But then, her hands, which were being held captive, made a gun gesture, and she pointed her index finger at Mahiro's head.

The light flashed again, and the magical power gradually transformed into bullets, condensing at his fingertips.

But before launch, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

Looking down, he saw that his opponent had used a knee strike to hit his lower abdomen, using the pain to forcibly dissipate her magic bullets!

Her legs suddenly went weak, and she staggered uncontrollably.

Yotsuba Mahiro naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass. He immediately stepped forward, grabbed Lina's wrists with one hand instead of both, lifted her up, and then slammed her against the wall.

"Gu..."

"Goo? Lina, what's that noise? How about you add 'Kill me' to it?"

Angelina: "......"

The girl didn't respond, but bit her cherry lips tightly and glared at him fiercely with her moist eyes.

However, no matter how fierce Lina appeared, she was exceptionally cute in Mahiro's eyes, not to mention that her cheeks were flushed unnaturally, seemingly because they were so close.

He couldn't help but tease:

"Oh dear, is the kitten about to pant?"

Still no response.

But Zhenxun didn't care at all, and said to himself, "Just a friendly reminder, I still advise you not to struggle too much, otherwise, if I leak your information to the Ten Masters Clan, you should know the consequences, right?"

A strategic-level mage from an enemy country, or one who infiltrates their own country as a spy, will at best be imprisoned for life.

As for the bad consequences...

Then we'll have to use our imaginations to the fullest. A scenario like Muzan's death isn't out of the question.

Lina realized this too, and a cold sweat broke out on her back.

"...What exactly do you want?!" she finally couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing, I was just giving you a friendly reminder."

"Is that so... But I can't see any goodwill in him from his current appearance."

Lina sneered, "And since you've given me a warning, I'll return the favor. I suggest you release me now, or you'll face the consequences!"

"threaten me?"

"If you don't believe me, then don't let go!"

Lina made a harsh statement, glaring fiercely at Mahiro, then her chest slightly bulged, as if she had taken a deep breath.

Immediately afterwards——

A bloodcurdling scream escaped her lips.

"Help! Someone's assaulting me!!!"

The girl's screams sounded like a cry for help from someone being attacked by a rapist.

However, it was of no use.

Even though her voice echoed throughout the entire corridor, and even faintly reverberated from the end, no one ever appeared.

Yotsuba Mahiro showed no intention of letting her go, and simply watched her perform quietly.

"Go ahead and shout, the louder the better. Even if you shout until your throat is hoarse, no one will come."

"..."

Upon hearing him say that, Lina immediately shut her mouth and stopped calling for help.

"...What did you do? Why is no one coming!"

Although it's after school, there are still quite a few people lingering in the school, not to mention the disciplinary committee members patrolling. But now, let alone the disciplinary committee members, even after she shouted for help so loudly, she couldn't see a single ordinary student.

"It's very simple. I just cast a soundproof barrier in this corridor, and no one will be passing by this floor at this time."

Mahiro kindly explained it to her, especially seeing her expression of complete disbelief.

"It's okay if you don't believe me. Oh, by the way, I learned this technique from your grandfather, Kushima Retsu. I remember he used this method to deceive most of the students present at the opening of the Nine Schools Tournament."

"Woo..."

Now she had no choice but to believe it.

The problem is, how could a high school student use magic so skillfully?

Is this reasonable?

So much so that Lina questioned her existence to the point that she no longer cared about her current posture.

They were then pushed into the empty classroom next door.

"...Eh?! What are you doing? Don't grab my coat!"

"What for? To interrogate a spy, of course. You don't think I'd just ignore your attempt to kill me and let you go, do you?"

"........"

"Don't grab my coat, stay away from me!!!"

"Ha... Miss Lina, you don't want your identity to be exposed, do you?"

"........"
