Danrito, become a consultant for the Millennium Game!

I'm sweating profusely, Yihua!

148. I will rush to the tea party and take away Nagisa’s position!

"Hmm... So, because you're not doing well in your studies, you have to take extra classes."

Danrito made a sound of "Naro Todo, Naro Todo" like the Holy Sword Driver, and Hifumi did not refute this and could only pass over the topic with an awkward laugh of "Ahahaha".

"B-After all, that's the charm of Pello-sama... Isn't it normal to forget about studying because of Pello-sama?"

"What's normal about this!" Ichika almost couldn't follow Hifumi's train of thought. "Forgetting to study because of the Peloro doll, forgetting to show up for the exam and failing the exam...this has seriously affected my normal life, hasn't it?"

Seeing that Hifumi seemed to be about to start preaching to Pelor, Ichika quickly shut up and hid away. Perhaps it was because daily student life was so peaceful that the students were quite determined to stick to their hobbies.

If Hifumi didn't buy Peloroo and pay attention to it, she would surely be driven mad. However, when the two ends of the scale are Peloroo on one side and the student status on the other, even an avid Peloroo fan would start to weigh the pros and cons.

"Hmm... does that bird really have such magical powers?"

Danrito thought of that plump, round chicken. He simply couldn't agree with Hifumi's fondness for it. "What's so good about that thing?"

"Eh...even Danreto-san can't understand Pelloro-sama's charm..."

Hifumi had once hoped to turn this man, who had accompanied her in the ruins in her search for the limited edition Peloro, into a Peloro enthusiast like herself, but now it seemed that Danrito wasn't particularly interested in Peloro either. While it was a pity, she couldn't force Danrito to like Peloro, could she?

"But if you just study hard during this time, you can buy your fat chickens again, right?" Tan Lidou asked puzzledly. "It's better to not participate in those Peloro activities for a while than to drop out of school, right?"

"Hmm... that's what I mean..."

Hifumi clearly knew what Danrito had said was absolutely right. As long as she calmed down and studied hard during this period, even if she couldn't get a very high score, she would definitely pass. Once she got through this cram school trial, she could go buy Peloro with impunity again.

Hifumi sighed deeply. "But, whenever I see those test papers or teaching videos, after just a moment I'll think of Pelolo, and my attention will be completely distracted..."

Ichika sighed, "Pelloro is such a loser..."

"Oh, it seems you all really are studying on your own." Danrito remembered this and nodded. "It's even happier than Amelica's happy education. No wonder a student like you doesn't do well in school."

"Amelica? Happy Education?" Hifumi asked, puzzled. "What kind of place is that?"

"Just think of it as a sort of screening ritual." Danrito didn't explain too much. "But I've noticed, Hifumi, that you're—probably—missing a supervisor, right?"

People whose attention is easily distracted need a strong supervisor to carry out strict control. In other words, they need to be monitored by cameras 24 hours a day, or they need to be given a reward target that makes them willing to make up their minds and force them to keep moving forward.

"Supervisor... did you mean 'teacher'?" Hifumi blinked, then suddenly realized: "Yes, Mr. Danrito, you are the adult from Xialai! Will you help me, help me and everyone else?"

Even Hifumi, whose mind was full of Pelolo, felt sympathy for the students who were stuffed into the supplementary lessons club and were about to be expelled.

"Everyone in the cram school is a good person! Expelling someone just because they have academic problems is too much!"

Hifumi was sincere in saying this. After all, in Kivotos, a city full of students, being expelled from school simply because of poor academic performance was hardly a reason.

The students of neighboring Gehenna were constantly causing trouble, with gunfights and explosions breaking out every few days. Many people engaged in such outrageous acts for their own selfish desires, yet almost no one was expelled. Not to mention, the Hyakki Yagyo even had its own "Seven Prisoners," Wakamo. This calamity-inducing fox, known as "Sister Momo," committed numerous crimes, yet Hyakki Yagyo Academy didn't expel her, merely placing her on a temporary leave of absence.

It can be seen that in Kivotos, "dropping out" is a very serious matter. The fact that the Trinity Tea Party proposed the punishment of "dropping out" simply because of academic performance issues is really puzzling.

"Well...if that's the case, perhaps you should consider the significance of your selection."

"What does that mean?" Hifumi was puzzled. "What's the meaning?"

"It's okay, you don't have to understand it for now."

Danrito put his hands in his pockets. How could he not see what Hifumi couldn't? With just a little thought, he could guess there must be something fishy going on. However, this was just Hifumi's side of the story. Danrito could only deduce a few things, but even so, he didn't directly tell Hifumi about his findings.

"Then, Mr. Danrito, can you help us?"

Hifumi reached out and grabbed Danreto's sleeve, shaking it pitifully a few times. "I know Mr. Danreto is very capable! With your help, no one will be expelled!"

"Hifumi, you have quite the eye for this student!" Danrito loved hearing people praise him the most. His eyes would light up and his back would straighten up when he heard it. "I'll rush to the tea party and grab those cheap seats..."

㈨⑤０①８○９○㈨

"No, no, no, please calm down—"

Ichika was horrified. "Shouldn't I be the tutor in this situation, helping the students improve their grades so they can get through the extra classes safely? How did this turn into a bandit story?!"

"How would I know how to teach?" Danrito pointed at himself. "I'm just a talented game developer and player. How would I know how to teach? Do you want me to teach them 'B++ Language, From Beginners to Mastering'?"

"Well—wasn't what you said earlier very good, President? Wouldn't it be fine if I just acted as a supervisor?"

149. Heaven is not necessarily sacred

Ichika felt like talking to Danrito could help her get rid of all the frustration she'd accumulated over the year. She had no temper at all towards this strange adult. Just when Ichika was feeling overwhelmed, a phone call came to her cell phone.

"Hello, hello? -- Nagisa-sama? Ah yes, Xia Lai's president is here with me now... Yes, yes... bring him to the tea party? Okay, I understand."

That phone call made Ichika say 18 times 'yes'. In short, although she was quite shocked as to why the tea party called her directly, Ichika still chose to follow the order from the tea party.

"Um... President Xia Lai. This happened suddenly, but I think the purpose of this order should be obvious."

Ichika looked at Danrito in front of her and made a 'please' gesture to him. "One of the three seats at the tea party, President Nagisa-sama, has asked to take you to the tea party. It seems that she has some special requests regarding everyone in the 'Supplementary Lesson Club' that she would like to explain to you."

"Tea party..."

Danrito heard the name and looked at Ichika: "Is the Tea Party the 'Student Council' of Trinity?"

"Broadly speaking, if you think so, then yes." Ichika paused, clearly trying to organize her argument. "But strictly speaking, the 'tea party' is merely a way to handle various official matters of Trinity Academy, including the mobilization of supplies, conflict mediation, personnel transfers, and so on, under the official name of Trinity Academy. Ultimately, however, the constraints on the various factions are not absolute."

Ichika explained, "For example, the Justice Realization Committee isn't actually under the direct leadership of the Tea Party. They simply give us orders in the name of the academy. And if you really look into most of the Holy Trinity factions, the Tea Party doesn't have the right to directly interfere."

"Rather than saying the tea party is the leader, it's more like providing a table where all factions can speak, and the tea party is the host. Do you understand this metaphor?"

Danrito nodded. "I understand. The tea party is the Holy Trinity board of directors. I completely understand."

"——Why does such an elegant organization become a name full of the smell of money when it comes to you?!"

Ichika scratched her hair in annoyance, feeling she couldn't look at Danrito anymore, as she'd explode if she did. She decided to quickly fulfill the order from the tea party. "Okay, enough gossip, let's get to the tea party, shall we? President Xia Lai?"

"that!"

As the two of them stood up to leave, Hifumi suddenly called out, causing Danrito to stop in his tracks.

"what?"

"I don't think anyone wants to leave this academy," Hifumi said worriedly, perhaps worried that Danrito might not be that eager to help them. "If Mr. Danrito could help everyone in the cram school, everyone would be very happy!"

Ten minutes later, Danrito was brought by Ichika to a courtyard in the academy.

Perfectly trimmed hedges and flowers, an elegant white marble fountain, antique bronze statues, and the elegantly mannered Miss Trinity strolling through the courtyard, flapping their pure white wings. Everything was as beautiful as a true paradise, like a scene from "Paradise."

"Greetings, President Dan Lidou from Xialai."

In front of Danrito, the angel wearing a lily on her head gracefully put down her teacup. She sat in the reclining chair with impeccable etiquette, with a dignified and elegant smile on her face, and gave Danrito a calm smile.

"I'm the host of the tea party and one of the decision-makers of the Holy Trinity. You can just call me 'Nagisa'."

Danrito looked at the table in front of him. There was a chair placed opposite Nagisa to his right. This empty seat was clearly reserved for him. Ichika, standing beside Danrito, bowed slightly and then withdrew, leaving Danrito standing alone.

"Mr. Danrito, I should have sent you an invitation to the tea party immediately after you officially assumed the position of President of the Xialai Federal Investigation Agency. Unfortunately, I have been busy with many things recently. Please forgive me."

Nagisa extended her hand, "If you don't mind, would you please take a seat, Mr. Danrito?"

"uh-huh."

Having said that, Danrito took his seat. To him, Nagisa was just a little adult who maintained a certain level of decorum—he'd experienced this kind of talk before. Seeing this angelic young lady, barely on the verge of adulthood, speaking to him with such mature grace, Danrito didn't bother to interrupt her and simply sat down.

Danrito took his seat, and a Trinity student beside him poured him tea. Nagisa smiled and said, "Mr. Danrito, what was your first impression of Trinity Academy?"

"A school that is both united and divided." Danrito got straight to the point.

"Oh? After just a ten-minute tour, you can make such an assessment?" Nagisa's smile faltered. She hadn't expected the new president, Xia Lai, to give such an assessment of Trinity. "Integration and division... Your perspective is truly insightful."

"I'm not saying a system like the Holy Trinity needs improvement." Danrito picked up his teacup. "Managing dozens, even hundreds, of different factions, big and small, shouldn't be that easy, right?"

"There are quite a few complications. After all, the relationship between the factions is, as you said, 'united yet divided.'"

Since the other party had already seen through it, Nagisa didn't have to maintain this superficial appearance. As religions grew larger, they had many factions, and conflicts between them were inevitable due to differences in philosophy. The same was true at Trinity Academy; the various factions weren't completely integrated, so naturally, there would be differences in philosophy.

"Chalai's president is a bit more perceptive than I thought," Nagisa nodded. "In that case, I won't keep you in suspense. There's no point beating around the bush with an intelligent person."

She paused, then directly told Danrito the purpose of his invitation: "President Xia Lai, could you do me a favor? I heard that you have a close relationship with Hifumi. So, I'd like you to temporarily join the 'Supplementary Tuition Club' as an advisor."

"Come to think of it, I've heard the name of this cram school club several times." Danrito rubbed his chin and looked at Nagisa in front of him. "Is it really true that just because you're not good at studying, you have to be sent to the cram school club and face the risk of being expelled?"

"...Since Mr. Danrito is a smart man and has already guessed what's going on, I'll just tell you straight up."

Nagisa placed his hands on the table, clasped his palms together, and said seriously, "Please, Mr. Danrito, help me find the traitor to the Holy Trinity in the cram school club."

150. Trinity's bullets, nourish people

"Wait, let me figure it out."

Danrito held out a hand, silencing Nagisa. "According to what you're saying, are you saying there's a 'traitor' within the Holy Trinity?"

"Yes." Nagisa nodded and said, "Perhaps you will find it incredible, but I still want to explain to you that what I said is absolutely not an exaggeration."

"That's quite new." Tan Lidou laughed. "You students have no worries about food and drink, so why would you rebel? You wouldn't decide to rebel just for a limited edition doll, would you?"

"Mr. Danrito, I'm not kidding."

Nagisa tapped the table with his fingers, feeling a bit of a headache. "Please listen to me."

"Trinity has always had its share of factional struggles, both large and small, but with the mediation of the 'Tea Party', the disputes have now been suppressed to an acceptable, everyday level as much as possible."

Danrito pondered, "Is this the daily range where they shoot around with rifles, and when they get excited, they'll even fire bazookas, tanks, and cruise missiles at each other?"

"...Uh, that's a specialty of Kivotos, you have to try it." Nagisa took an awkward sip of her tea, feeling that her well-trained and elegant demeanor was beginning to falter in front of the man before her. "You should also know that under the protection of the halo, the damage caused by these bullets is just everyday damage to us. Even if we were bombarded by bazookas and tanks, we would still wake up intact in the end. However, the damage to the buildings will indeed take time and money to repair."

"So, the current dispute is much better than before. At least everyone is willing to follow the Tea Party's instructions. This is a good thing for all of us."

Nagisa put down his teacup and continued to say to Danrito, "If the 'traitor' I'm talking about was just the kind who would point a gun at our heads, we wouldn't be so nervous now."

"This matter was originally a secret of our Holy Trinity, but since you are the president of Xialai, I can tell you the cause of this matter on the premise that you keep it confidential."

Nagisa didn't have complete trust in the dark-faced adult before her. This was even their first meeting, and all her previous knowledge came from bits and pieces she found online and information she got from the Central Student Council. It was really hard to piece together what kind of person Danrito was.

He left very few traces in Kivotos, unlike the people around Nagisa, who could be heard from others just by asking around. Nagisa only knew Danrito as "Chalai's president" and "the president of the Dream Group."

However, Nagisa still instinctively believed in Danrito from the Federal Council and from Xia Lai as a student. If she couldn't even trust the adults here, who else could Nagisa trust?

"Well, tell me, I'll keep it confidential."

Danrito spread his hands and made a "please" gesture. Nagisa could only sigh and believe that Danrito in front of him would really keep the secret for her.

"To discuss this matter, we have to briefly touch upon the past between Trinity and the neighboring Gehenna Academy," Nagisa said solemnly. "In the past, Trinity and Gehenna had a long history of 'war,' and that history led to generations of hatred between Trinity and Gehenna. Even now, minor and considerable friction often arises between the two school districts."

"If you ask any student at Trinity College what they think of Gehenna, I don't think many would be overly favorable. Instead, most would dislike Gehenna Academy and even its students."

"So serious?" Dan Lidou raised an eyebrow: "Why did you fight so badly?"

"For that kind of thing, you'd have to look up ancient texts." Nagisa shook his head. "Actually, that war happened a long time ago. The current hostility between the two sides is basically a legacy from long ago, almost like an 'engraved' attitude."

"Let me guess..." Danrito put a finger on the table. "You want to do something big that will change the attitude between the two academies."

Nagisa picked up the teacup, paused for a moment, and then put it down.

She nodded and said, "I am facilitating the Treaty of Eden with Gehenna."

"According to ancient records, the Garden of Eden was a beautiful place free of conflict. The conclusion of this treaty will establish a literal cooperative relationship between the Holy Trinity and Gehenna university districts. It will also send a message of friendship to Gehenna. In short... it's a treaty that facilitates peace."

"Then how can you truly believe that the feud between the two schools can be brought to peace through a treaty?" Danrito stared at Nagisa. "The Treaty of Eden you're talking about should be a comprehensive cooperation agreement between the two academies, right?"

Danrito, with his analytical mind, understood the significance of this treaty in a flash. However, being able to facilitate this treaty, Danrito actually developed a favorable impression of Nagisa.

"Eh? Um..." Nagisa's eyes widened a little.

"Gathering the forces and resources of Trinity and Gehenna, and using the Treaty of Eden as a banner, you can mobilize enough power to overthrow any faction in Kivotos. I see. You are indeed a very capable student council president."

Danrito nodded appreciatively at Nagisa in front of him and said, "With this power, the Holy Trinity will be literally invincible, right?"

"No... Mr. Danrito, could you please think about this in a slightly softer way?"

Slimming: ba yi si jiu ling san qi jiu ba

Nagisa felt her scalp tingle at the admiring look in Danrito's eyes. Fortunately, the students around her were dismissed by Nagisa after they poured tea for Danrito at the beginning. Otherwise, after hearing Danrito's speech, there would probably be an uproar of discussion around them.

"—My purpose in promoting the Treaty of Eden isn't that terrifying!"

boom!
