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

"......"

Seeing that Nyantenmaru had spoken of his ambitions, Gus said nothing.

After all, this had nothing to do with his mission, and he couldn't care less about Nyantenmaru's motives.

Afterwards, Guss carried his teacher and went to the new base with Nyantenmaru.

the other side.

After Shizuko and the others were engulfed in a cloud of dust, they looked at the demon girl who had long since disappeared and the reinforcements Izuna.

"They've already left...?" Mimori immediately understood the situation. "It seems the teacher has been captured by them!"

"Damn it, I can't get through to Fina on the phone either!"

After hanging up the phone, Shizuko looked somewhat anxious.

"Let's go find the teacher!!" Chun's eyes were sharp, showing no signs of the drowsy state she had just displayed.

The four searched the area for a while, and finally found only Fina, who had been knocked unconscious by a landmine.

"Fina?! Fina, are you alright?!" Shizuko immediately checked on her condition upon seeing this.

"Thankfully, nothing serious happened."

After the check-up revealed no problems, Shizuko breathed a sigh of relief.

Mimori then took out emergency topical medication and bandages from her bag and began to provide basic treatment for Fina's wound.

"Just as the teacher said, their target was him!" Shizuko's face was grim, her fists clenched tightly. "And they even managed to inflict such serious injuries on Fina. I will never let them get away with this!"

"Calm down, Shizuko-san." Mimori immediately noticed the change in Shizuko's expression and began to comfort her. "At least, the current situation is within the teacher's expectations."

"Hmm." Shizuko's expression softened considerably as she recalled the plan the teacher had told them.

“In that case…” Chun pondered for a moment and said, “We don’t want to just wait like this. Let’s go to the street and ask if there’s any information about Chimei Ichika!”

"Yes, Tsubaki is right."

Some time later, at an abandoned outpost.

"Hmm..." The teacher slowly opened her eyes and found herself tied to a chair.

"are you awake?"

At that moment, a man with a tabby cat-like head wearing a black eye patch appeared in the field of vision, holding the teacher's cell phone and the Shiting Box in his hand.

"Xia Lai's teacher, everything you have is with me! How do you feel now? How do you feel?"

"Ah, hello there, Mr. Nyantenmaru." The teacher remained calm. "Your acting was very good."

"What are you talking about? I don't know anyone named Nyōtenmaru. You've mistaken me for someone else." Nyōtenmaru, disguised as someone else, vehemently denied it. "My name is Nyōte Masamune!"

"Alright, alright," the teacher replied helplessly. "Then... Mr. Nyato Masamune, why did you capture me?"

"Hmph hmph hmph... Of course, it's for the money." Nyato Masamune looked completely matter-of-fact. "Organizing a cherry blossom festival costs a huge amount of money, but these students in the festival operations department are just wasting so much money!"

“If it were me, I could use this money to make more money, but these students don’t understand at all. They just spend whatever they have, and this time they even went and bought some expensive electronic fireworks!”

"So this time, I've mobilized all my resources to sabotage this festival! If I succeed, their festival operations department will be held accountable and punished, and I will become the sole person in charge of the festival!"

"A very lofty ideal."

The teacher smiled and agreed.

Just as the teacher was about to ask him for his opinion on Izuna, a black robot appeared at the same time as Izuna.

“Mr. Nyato Masamune, don’t waste your breath on him.”

“Oh, Mr. Guise!” Nyantenmaru smiled with satisfaction. “Thanks to your strategy, our plan has gone so smoothly.”

"By the way, you want this, right?" Meowtenmaru handed the Shitei Box to Guise.

“Yes, thank you, Mr. Nyato Masamune.” Gus’s voice was relaxed.

"Are you really going to ruin the cherry blossom festival tonight?" The teacher looked around at the wild girl and Izuna, who were sitting like demons. "All of you students, do you know what the consequences will be if you do as Nyanta Masamune says and do this?"

"Huh?" one of the wild girls asked, puzzled. "Then tell me, what will be the consequences?"

Just as the teacher was about to speak, Gus covered the teacher's mouth.

“He’s spreading heretical rumors to bewitch the masses, don’t listen to him.” Gus’s voice became serious. “You all need to get ready quickly. When the time comes, go to the designated location and take care of the people from the celebration operations department and the cultivation department.”

"Tie them up for another night, then you go to the scene and create chaos. That way, you'll have achieved your goal of disrupting the Cherry Blossom Festival. You'll be well rewarded. Now get to your mission."

"Yes!"

After saying that, the wild girls from the Demon King's Group all left the place in unison.

"Hahaha, that's great!" Nyatenmaru was beaming with joy. "You truly are a wonderful partner I invited! From now on, whenever I manage events and make money, I'll definitely give you 30%!"

"Hehehe, let's skip the formalities."

Gus then taped the teacher's mouth shut to stop him from speaking, and then looked at Izuna with a slightly gentler gaze.

"Izuna, we need your strength now. Do your best."

"Alright! Izuna guarantees to complete the mission! Endure!"

Izuna immediately fled and disappeared.

"Tsk tsk, that student who calls himself a ninja is really obedient." Nyantenmaru couldn't help but complain, "She agreed after I agreed to her a few times, and not only is the pay pitifully small, but she also works very hard, hehe."

“Don’t insult other people’s ideals, Mr. Nyoda Masamune,” Guise retorted. “Izuna can do it.”

"After all, she will be the strongest ninja in Giwatos."

“Uh…” Nyantenmaru looked puzzled. “Mr. Guss, are you serious?”

“Is it still fake?” Gus’s voice was full of certainty. “If it’s Izuna, it can definitely work.”

"I don't understand you." Meowtenmaru still didn't understand what Gus was thinking.

"However, we're very close to success now, so I'll go to the Chamber of Commerce to make some preparations first, hahaha."

“No problem, I’ll be in charge of the future festival activities of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.” Gus’s voice was slightly mocking. “I’ll take care of Xia Lai’s teacher.”

However, Nyantenmaru didn't realize what he meant and left with a smug look on his face.

“Very good…hehehehehe.” Gus looked at the silent teacher, his tone full of mockery. “Teacher, teacher, you don’t think I’m just going to wait here like an idiot, do you?”

After he finished speaking, a fine steel dagger appeared in his hand.

"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!!" The teacher tried to break free of the ropes, but couldn't.

"Farewell, teacher."

After saying that, Guss slowly raised the dagger toward the teacher's throat.

"Don't worry, I won't tell Izuna about your death. At that time, the only person who can accept Izuna's ideals, the only person who can become Izuna's lord, will be me!"

"Izuna will be my girlfriend from now on, and I will take good care of her."

"Oh, right, if I have the chance in the future, I'll burn you the photos of Izuna after I trained him into Xingnu, hahahahahahaha!"

After saying that, Guss slit the dagger against the teacher's throat!
