Without Alona, ​​I can only use the airdrop system.

After listening to Ayane's communication, the teacher had already anticipated this.

It must be Aru from Convenience Store 68 who's here.

After all, given Aru's personality, her appearance in a swimsuit with her face covered is exactly the kind of "villain" she admires, so she will definitely catch up with the countermeasures committee and seek "guidance" from them.

The only unexpected thing was that they, who had no connection with the five Abydos, would also come to the black market bank.

Although the final result remained unchanged, the process itself underwent a complete transformation.

This is probably similar to the situation with Hifumi; some teachers themselves were unaware of the changes that led them to seek loans from black market banks.

"Ayane, is she one of the black market guards who were chasing us?!" Shirako asked excitedly.

"No, there were only four people, and they weren't hostile. Besides, the one running in front... seemed quite excited?"

"???" Celery frowned, looking puzzled.

The same applies to everyone except the teachers.

"Everyone, regardless of whether they're hostile or not, put on your hoods immediately!" the teacher promptly notified everyone present. "We can't let them discover our true identities!"

Everyone else responded, putting on headgear before Convenience Store 68 arrived, and the teacher also put on a clown mask.

"Huff... Huff..." Aruru, panting heavily, was the one who had arrived. "Please wait a moment!"

At this moment, Bai Zi approached A Lu, who had rushed over, and pointed the gun at her.

"Calm down!! I'm not the enemy!!"

Shiro then gestured to Hoshino with his eyes to see if he could take out the man on the spot.

Hoshino smiled helplessly and shook his head gently, indicating his denial.

Aru, suppressing her excitement, exclaimed with shining eyes, "You robbed the bank in just five minutes! Such ruthless outlaws! I have the utmost respect for you!!!"

what's the situation?

Apart from the teacher, everyone else present had an expression of utter dismay.

"I will never forget your powerful image in my entire life. Can you tell me what your organization is?!" Aru looked at the six people opposite her with starry eyes.

"Uh, this..." Bai Zi was speechless for a moment.

She never imagined that the pink-haired girl in front of her would admire...the bank robber so much.

"Let me explain~☆!" Nomiya stepped forward with a smile and introduced, "We are the infamous idol crime organization hidden in the yakuza—Swimsuit Masked Group!"

Ah, it's bound to happen. The teacher sighed inwardly.

"Wow!! What a cool name!!" Aru exclaimed excitedly. "I will remember it for the rest of my life!"

Don't forget it! I've already awkwardly built a three-bedroom apartment!!!

Seeing this, Qinxiang was so embarrassed that she didn't know where to look and wished she could dig a hole and crawl into it.

"Yawn~~." Hoshino explained to Aru in a lazy manner, "The swimsuit and mask are the proper attire, but the situation is urgent, so I only wore a mask~."

Hoshino-senpai, what strange new settings have you added this time?!

Celery couldn't help but complain inwardly, but on the surface she still maintained a fierce look.

“Is that so?!” Nomiya continued enthusiastically, “During the day we’re active as idols, and at night we’re righteous phantom thieves who defeat bad guys~.”

"By the way, my name is Christina~." Nomiya then pointed to Hifumi, "This is our most powerful and terrifying leader—Faust!!"

"Eh—?" Hifumi panicked when she was called out.

"I am Mephisto, the agent and core strategist of the Masked Face!"

At that moment, the teacher suddenly struck a pose like Ginyu from the Ginyu Force.

How can a teacher, an adult, suddenly act so childish? They're clearly not a student anymore!?

Celery couldn't help but complain in her heart again.

"Wow wow wow wow wow..." Aru looked at the six people present, both surprised and delighted, her heart pounding with excitement. "These names are all so... so unique!!"

"Hehehe~, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Ruthless yet aloof, walking our path is like walking through a demonic realm. That's our motto! You'd better remember it well!"

Hoshino's words were like a heavy punch to Aru's burning chest, leaving her heart unable to calm down for a long time.

"Waaaaaah!!!"

Alu was deeply shocked.

With such ambition and such strength, who among the masked swimsuit group could be more evil than them, and what difficulties could stop them?

In Aru's eyes, they are the embodiment of invincibility in the world!

Meanwhile, Mutsuki, Kayoko, and Haruka, who arrived late, wisely refrained from approaching after seeing Aru talking to the masked swimsuit group.

"Wow, Aru-chan looks just like a kid on a tokusatsu set!" Mutsuki said with a grin, looking at the scene ahead. "Kayoko, did you see that? Aru-chan's eyes are shining! It's so funny!"

"Sigh...really..." Kayoko sighed helplessly, looking like a mother hen.

At the same time, when Serika saw someone behind Aru in the distance, she frantically signaled to Nomiya and Hoshino to finish quickly.

Nomiya immediately understood: "Well then, goodbye, little one~".

"Run! Towards the sunset!!"

"Uh, there's no sunset, right..." Hifumi couldn't help but complain.

"Even without a sunset, we will create our own beautiful sunset!" the teacher shouted.

"Hahaha..."

Before leaving, Aru suddenly realized something and excitedly shouted:

"Everyone in swimsuits with veils! I'm Riku-ba-ma-ru, the president of Convenience Store 68! I'll catch up with you all sooner or later and become a powerful outlaw!!"

Immediately afterwards, the six people present quickly disappeared into the distance, leaving only Aru still immersed in the surprise brought to her by the swimsuit-covered face.

She watched the six people walk away, her heart unable to find peace for a long time.

"To follow my path is to walk in a demonic realm—I will etch these words deep into my soul!!!"

At this moment, Kayoko and the other two, seeing that the six had walked away, slowly stepped forward and walked behind Aru.

“Let’s go, everyone at Convenience Store 68.” Aru’s expression was unusually serious. “We need to go back and think about a solution for the store rent.”

"Ah... um... Lady Aruru." Haruka, holding the large bag that the six teachers hadn't been able to take, looked at Aruru and said, "I found a bag here."

"Hmm? This is what they didn't take, right?" Kayoko looked at the large bag with suspicion. "Haruka, open it and see what's inside?"

When Chunxiang opened it, the four people present stared in disbelief at the cash inside.

"Hey, hey, hey, is this for real?" Mutsuki was also dumbfounded.

"This... could it be a gift from the seniors of the Masked Swimsuit Group?!" Aru was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.

"Well, it's not all bad." Kayoko breathed a sigh of relief. "At least we have the money to pay off the shop rent."

"I will never forget the kindness of my seniors!!!" Aru looked into the distance and made up her mind.

If we meet again, I will definitely repay you with all my might!
