"A young woman wouldn't just bang her head against the wall to get in without going through the main entrance, Mika-san." Nagisa didn't know how many times she had sighed today. "Also, what did you come to see me for today? Don't you always care about the tea party?"

"Ah~ How should I put it..." Mika touched her cheek, looking a little guilty, "Is it because I haven't participated in the tea party discussion for too long, so I feel guilty?"

"So why is it a question?" Nagisa's eyes swept over Mika's smiling face. He wanted to say something, but swallowed it. "Every time I asked you to a tea party before, you said you weren't suitable for this kind of meeting. Now you actually ask to attend a tea party meeting?"

Mika, who was sitting on the chair, pouted and expressed her dissatisfaction: "Really, Nagisa-chan, that's such a cruel thing to say~"

With her pouting mouth, Mika looks like a princess throwing a tantrum. However, a girl who loves to laugh always looks more sunny. At least for Danrito who is standing next to her, Mika's sunny smile looks much more pleasing to the eye than Nagisa's.

"Hey, Mr. Danrito, are you saying that the latest trend at Trinity is game cartridges?"

Mika smiled and started chatting with Danrito: "Ah, I've had a lot of personal things to deal with recently, so I kind of forgot to pay attention to the latest trends. I guess I need to catch up on the latest trends next time."

226. Don’t you have any friends? (Probe)

"So you forgot about the tea party we originally planned to attend, didn't you?"

Nagisa gave Mika a displeased look, then picked up the cup of black tea that had just been filled by the students at the tea party, took a sip of the overly sugared black tea to calm his anger.

"Ah... well, now that I think about it, I haven't really looked through the tea party documents in almost six months, so I can't be of much help here today."

Weihua touched the back of her head and smiled brightly, "So~how should I put it, just think of me as coming to an afternoon tea party?"

"You are this person..."

Nagisa shook her head helplessly. "If you really want to attend the usual tea party affairs, let me know before you come next time, and I will prepare a document summary for you."

"Oh, that's not a lot, is it?" Mika said with a headache: "Reading a lot of text and things like that is not very good for me. Nagisa-chan, you also know that I'm not very smart, right?"

"Who would talk about their own shortcomings like not being very smart?"

Nagisa put down his teacup. "It's okay. You only need to stay up three nights to catch up on all the progress you've made in the past six months. So, how's that? I'm being thoughtful, aren't I? It's thanks to a few smart and capable scribes that we were able to compile such a concise and clear report."

"Quack! Don't do that!"

It's probably enough to keep me reading for three consecutive nights. Even if Weihua's brain is not very smart, he can probably guess that the amount of text is almost terrifying.

"Well, well... let's talk about the previous progress later. Let's talk about some current topics, okay? The most important thing about a tea party is having fun~"

Seeing that Nagisa seemed to be trying to lecture her again, Mika quickly clapped her hands and began to change the subject in her high-pitched voice.

"Right! Let's talk about what Moro-chan has been doing lately. Um, how should I put it, the tea party is nominally managed by Nagisa now, right?"

"Since you know I'm the only one busy, please come and help me."

Nagisa felt her heart was very tired and she would never love again: "You send a text message every day and then disappear. If it weren't for the constant updates on text messages and MomoTalk, someone who didn't know would have thought you were missing."

"Are you worried about my safety? Nagisa-chan, I'm so happy~"

Mika laughed: "But it doesn't matter, after all, I'm only good at force!"

"I'm not worried about you!" Nagisa said with a venomous look in his eyes. "Now I just want to stuff the whole uncut Swiss roll into your mouth, and make you swallow it raw without even giving it to you with some black tea!"

"Eh...wouldn't that be choking?"

Nagisa on the other side was just speaking in anger, but Mika on this side seemed to have really started to think about the feasibility of this scenario. "A whole Swiss roll without slices, that one is definitely not edible, right? If possible, it should be paired with black tea... But I don't like Swiss rolls very much, it would be better if there was a Napoleon or a croissant..."

"You two haven't been talking on the same page since just now, have you? I don't know how you managed to chat for so long without even being on the same wavelength."

Danrito watched the interaction between his two friends in front of him, and calmly put down the tea he had just taken a sip of.

…Even though you’re using your phone, you’re not following the trends of Trinity and Kivotos at all?

If someone else heard this, they would probably just laugh it off as a joke, but maybe the person they met was someone like Dan Rito, who is so proud of his products and promotional effects.

Since he had already said that everyone in Trinity, Gehenna, and the Millennium School District knew about his company's Dream-like game cartridges, if someone said they hadn't heard of his product, Tan Lidou would have to do it like Cao Cao and deduct his meal.

'Impossible, absolutely impossible! '

Novel 95㈠80⑨○九

"The promotion of the Fantasy game cartridge at Trinity was quite successful. How could the young ladies in these classical paintings not be tempted by such a product?"

Tan Lidou was referring to the information exchange between the hundreds of small groups, large and small, within the Holy Trinity School District. For these groups, divided by differing philosophies, each group or community had its own independent information channels.

"As long as one person in each group knows about it, it means that everyone in the entire group will share this information. Although this phenomenon of forming cliques is indeed a unique trend of the Holy Trinity, it must be said that this trend has also brought considerable convenience to the promotion and dissemination of the dream."

Although this will cause a certain degree of information blockage, for example, if community A conceals something, then community B will most likely not know about it.

This is also what Hanako said before, why she hated this kind of atmosphere so much, and even hated it to the point of wanting to drop out of school.

But if you think about it the other way around, information must be circulated within each small group at the most efficient speed. In other words, as long as one person in a small group learns a certain piece of information, it can be assumed that the entire small group must know it.

"Even the tea party chairwoman, Ms. Nagisa, has heard of my game cartridge. So why does Mika, who seems to be a close friend of Ms. Nagisa, act completely unaware of my game cartridge?"

Danrito's eyes were fixed on the back of Mika's head. After his brain raced, Danrito seemed to have his own answer.

"Judging from what Ms. Mika said, the relationship between her and Ms. Nagisa isn't too bad, which means there's no private exclusion."

In front of Danrito, one was talking with a smile, while the other was complaining calmly. No matter how you looked at it, their relationship couldn't be too bad.

"So... considering what I said before, after Miss Mika sends a text message every day to report her safety, she disappears without a trace. Could it be that she's on a business trip to another school district and hasn't received any promotional information?"

Danrito's thoughts were racing. "But that's not right. Doesn't Mika-san have any friends besides Nagisa-san? At least the others should have shared information about the cassette on MomoTalk."

"Then..." Danrito frowned, "Why would Miss Mika reveal such a discrepancy in information?"

Thinking of this, looking at the pink-haired girl in front of him, a strange conclusion emerged in Danrito's mind: "This girl... doesn't she have any friends?"

Looking at Mika, who was speaking lively and cheerfully and always had a bright smile on her face, I felt that no matter how I looked at it, she should be the mainstream pink-haired girl in the social group. She should... not be the kind of person who has no friends, right?

"However, considering the recent situation of Holy Trinity..."

Danrito narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is this the answer?"

227. You have to think for yourself

Danrito seemed to be thinking about things that would happen a thousand years from now... Oh no, that was wrong. He wasn't thinking about whether Mika had any friends, but whether the 'third seat at the tea party', whose behavior was a little unusual, was the one worthy of suspicion.

While there's no 100% proof yet, it doesn't seem to align with Danrito's impression of the "student" group. The game cartridges had been promoted at Trinity for quite some time, but Mika acted completely unaware.

Although this wasn't direct evidence, Danrito didn't doubt his intuition—even if the third person who had barged into the tea party had nothing to do with the 'traitor of the Holy Trinity who attempted to undermine the Treaty of Eden' that Nagisa was pursuing, he was probably plotting something unknown.

Thinking of this, Danrito looked at Mika who was wearing an innocent smile, and suddenly felt that this woman was so terrifying - of course, it was not to the point where she must not be kept.

"You know, Nagisa-chan, you can't lick your own nose with your tongue~"

Finally, after ten minutes, Nagisa could no longer tolerate Mika's trivia and jokes. She put down her teacup and held her forehead with her palm.

"...Mika-san, if you don't have a topic to talk about, you don't have to try to find one. For example, why don't you just go and do whatever you need to do, or go shopping somewhere by yourself?"

"Eh... okay, Nagisa-chan is so boring."

Mika showed an exaggerated frustrated expression, and the next second she turned to Danrito beside her: "Hey, Mr. Danrito, are you free now? Or do you want to continue the tea party with Nagisa-chan?"

"I've almost had enough black tea."

Danrito stood up and said, "Ms. Nagisa, let's stop here. Some things are meaningless if you just talk about them. It's more meaningful to come up with the answers yourself."

Leaving Nagisa to ponder the profound meaning of his words, Danreto also decided to leave. There were many more things he could do than continue this meaningless tea party and leisure time.

When he stood up,

Mika came close like a little bird, smiling sweetly and saying, "Mr. Tan Lidou is leaving too? Isn't that perfect?"

"Ah, I forgot there was such a person around me."

Danrito thought about it, but decided not to directly reject Mika's invitation, which clearly indicated she had something important to ask: "Miss Mika, what can I do for you?"

"That's what you just mentioned, the 'game cartridges' thing that's all the rage in Trinity School District..."

At this point, Mika's expression suddenly turned a bit shameful. A blush spread across her cheeks. She awkwardly raised her hands, not knowing where to place them, so she could only place a finger on her cheek. "After all... well, that's all! It's for me to talk about with my friends. It would be terrible if the conversation turned into a trend I wasn't aware of and the atmosphere faltered!"

"So, since you seem to understand a lot, why don't you..."

Mika swayed her body slightly, trying to dispel her embarrassment by swaying left and right in this slight arc: "Um... take me to visit this store that sells game cartridges?"

It's hard to say how to react to making such a request to the original publisher of game cartridges. Danrito's face practically had a 'Are you okay?' expression plastered all over it.

"Miss Weihua, are you awake?"

"Eh? What's wrong? I didn't doze off?"

Mika was startled by Danrito's sudden question, but she didn't understand what he meant. While Mika was still confused, Danrito had already seen through it. He walked straight towards the hole that Mika had just knocked out. "Let's go, just treat it as a special service. Opportunities like this don't come around often, so make the most of it."

"Okay~ Come on—"

Nagisa, lost in thought, watched the two men leave, and pondered over Danrito's previous remarks. Nagisa felt as if she understood what Danrito was trying to remind her of.

"Hmm... Mr. Danreto's words mean that I should look beyond the cram school club?"

In one hand, she held a tray, and in the other, a teacup. Even when the tea in the cup cooled, Nagisa didn't ask for more tea or a new one. To her, this was just a way to keep her in a state of 'thinking'.

Only when holding a teacup in hand can Nagisa quickly enter a state of immersed thinking. When she realized this, Nagisa once seriously considered whether she should ask a special person to carry tea sets and matching tables and chairs for her, so that she can enter the "black tea time" to think at any time and any place.

However, in the end, Nagisa herself rejected this sudden cramped idea. Putting aside the inconvenience of having people carry tea sets and tables and chairs, this action alone would probably be used as a grounds for impeachment by those who disliked her position as tea party chairperson.

"If you say that the four people in the supplementary course department aren't traitors to Trinity... does this mean... that my previous judgments were all wrong and self-righteous?"

"Not only did my own self-imagination cause others to be treated undeservedly, but it also highlighted my incompetence as the chairperson of the tea party..."

Nagisa felt the tea in her hand tremble. She put down the teacup tremblingly, and then remembered something: "But, what about the girl named Shirasu Azusa that Mr. Danrito mentioned?"

"A person who can say with his own mouth, 'I want to protect everyone's happiness'... If what Mr. Danrito said is true, then it means..."

Nagisa felt a tightness in her chest. She hadn't even thought about saying this before. Even before she heard it, the thought hadn't crossed her mind. "Shirasu Azusa, is she a student who doesn't belong to Trinity, or rather, doesn't belong outside of the current Trinity? She transferred to Trinity for some purpose, but gave up her original purpose in this school?"

Nagisa's hands seemed to have calmed down, as if she had finally sorted out some of the clues. She recalled Shirasu Azusa's characteristics: her pure white wings, proving she wasn't from another school district; they were a unique trait of Trinity students. It was precisely because of Shirasu Azusa's pure white wings that her transfer was so easily approved at this time.

"Then, it's a school belonging to Trinity, but not the current Trinity. It also has to fit the motive and possibility of sending spies to Trinity, plus the hypothetical destruction of the Eden Treaty... and Saint Ya's prophetic dream..."

Nagisa gently placed her fingers on her chin, and after a moment, she came up with the answer: "...Arius, huh?"

228. Because I am a sunny and cheerful little princess

Arius, a former academy of the Holy Trinity.

Before most of the schools in Trinity were merged to form the current "Trinity Comprehensive School", due to differences in philosophy, more than a dozen schools were unwilling to fully merge.

These dozen or so academies became the discordant notes within Trinity. For the ultimate merger, for Trinity's eternal prosperity, a holy war broke out.

Eventually, the schools with divergent philosophies were completely eliminated and merged into the remaining schools, forming the prototype of the present-day Holy Trinity. Of course, there were also schools that were not completely eliminated.

They retreated to the underground of Trinity, built their school district in an unknown place, and have been surviving ever since.

"Trinity College is a school with a long history and rich heritage."

"But precisely because of its long history and rich heritage, there are some secrets buried deep within the academy that even we haven't figured out yet—"

Nagisa closed her eyes, recalling everything she knew. A vast expanse of knowledge fell before her eyes like a library shelf, then quickly passed by her sides.

Countless books, representing countless knowledge, mobilized the knowledge she had read in her mind, and the bookshelf representing memories quickly passed by her side. In the endless sea of ​​knowledge, Nagisa searched for the answers she needed.

"The catacombs of the Holy Trinity are layered and interconnected, with various mechanisms and mysteries making the maze of tombs ever-changing. Each group has its own unique knowledge and secret techniques. Is it very likely that Arius knows a safe way out of the catacombs area..."

This is the knowledge that belonged to Arius. It is precisely because he guarded the secret of this knowledge that Arius has been able to survive to this day. It is also the knowledge that the Holy Trinity has no choice but to rely on today.

After all, Arius still held the puzzle piece of knowledge in his own hands. The missing puzzle piece could be seen in its shape, but the missing piece's true form could not be seen.

Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and Nagisa finally raised her gaze. From a moment ago, her eyes had been fixed on her own reflection in the cold cup of tea. "But... if Shirasu Azusa is a spy from Arius, then is Shirasu Azusa, now with the intention of defecting, the 'key' to a counter-attack on Arius?"

If it was Dan Lidou who was still sitting in front of her, he would probably laugh at her and say, "Kid, you are obsessed," or even just say, "It's so funny."

Bai Zhouzi is willing to protect everyone's happiness and is willing to betray her original team in the hope of preventing the impending tragedy. Her original intention is to prevent the peace of Trinity from being destroyed, so how could she possibly harm her former alma mater?

"Sincerity for sincerity... Miss Nagisa, I hope you won't realize it too late."

Standing in front of the window, looking at the various game cartridges displayed in the glass cabinet, Mika's wings fluttered gently at these novelties, revealing her subtle anticipation. Behind her, Danrito muttered something, but Mika, unable to hear clearly due to the clamor, turned around and asked.

"Eh? Mr. Danrito, what are you talking about?"

"I'm reciting the game guide silently."

Danrito put his hands in his pockets and stood there casually, feeling like he was about to pull out four Blue-Eyes White Dragon cards stuck together with glue, just like fusion cards.

"Why are you wasting time standing in front of the store? Come in?"

Danreto raised his chin and asked Mika, who was standing in front of the shop, to go inside. The shop was bustling with people, and winged students were constantly coming and going. It seemed that there were always so many people here.
