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

The next day, at the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) Joint Academy, Onmyoji Department.

Led by Kaho and Chise, the teacher and the members of the Ninja Research Club met Nia.

"Um......"

Just like in the original work, after seeing her teacher, Nia went straight up to her teacher and carefully observed her appearance.

Although Nia has short hair and squinty eyes, her figure is no less than that of Kaho, and her outfit is similar to Kaho's, with a side-revealing style reminiscent of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, and she also wears a perfume that exudes a mature scent.

However, the teacher, who frequently appreciates beautiful girls, has gradually developed a resistance to it.

That's just how people are. Once they get used to an environment, what others envy becomes their daily routine, and they're completely unaware of it.

"Yes, she's very good-looking, just my type," Nia said with a smile.

"Minister, let's get to the point!" Kaho quickly reminded Nia, who had just finished speaking off-topic.

“Ah~, my apologies.” Nia rested her closed folding fan on her chin. “Then let me explain in detail.”

The situation then unfolded as in the original work. Nia exchanged pleasantries with the teacher for a short while before beginning to explain the specific details of next week's exchange meeting.

In addition to the guards mentioned earlier, Nia also hopes that the teachers and students from the Ninja Research Department will participate in Heroine's performance, mainly playing the role of the hero who rescues Heroine.

Teachers who have seen the original storyline will know that there are definitely plot holes here.

At that time, those wild girls from the Demon King's Palace will kidnap Ibuki, who plays the princess.

Hmph, Nia, no matter how many plans you have in your heart, they can't beat me with my far-seeing eyes!

After Nia finished explaining, the teacher spoke up, "Well then, since you need my help, I have a request."

"Oh? Please go ahead, teacher."

"After the performance, let's make the Ninjutsu Research Club a formal club."

Guosui was shocked upon hearing this and frantically tried to warn Nia with her eyes.

Nia paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Of course."

"!?"

When Kaho saw that Nia had agreed, she had a look of utter dismay on her face.

"Hehehe, after all, this performance is very important. If it is successful, it will be a great achievement in the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. I believe in you, teacher, and the strength of the Ninjutsu Research Club."

"Thank you, Nia."

After chatting with the three members of the Yin-Yang Department for a few more minutes, the teacher left.

Not long after, Chise and Kaho, due to other important matters, also bid farewell to Nia and left the Yin-Yang Department.

Only Nia remained.

Just then, her phone rang.

After the call connected, a sinister laugh rang out:

"Hehehe, greetings, Minister Nia."

"So it's the renowned Pandemonium Chairman Makoto." Nia's tone was quite surprised. "What brings you here now?"

"Minister Nia, facing such an outstanding teacher, shouldn't you take this opportunity to test his abilities?" Makoto said with a sly smile. "On this matter, I think we have a lot in common."

"Of course, it is my honor to cooperate with the Speaker of the Pandemonium."

Meanwhile, on a highway dozens of kilometers away from the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

The teacher was driving when he received a message from the Terran militants:

Side quest begins:

To prevent the Ghenna and the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) exchange from spiraling out of control, find out who is behind it all.

Reward: Battle Mode usage increased by 1.

Why is this system task so late?

The teacher couldn't help but complain.

Listening to the three members of the Ninja Technique Research Department in the parking space behind him discussing ninja topics with great interest, the teacher couldn't help but reminisce about his lost youth.

After discovering that there were no reincarnators in the mission, the teacher felt that this side quest shouldn't be too troublesome.

At least we can enjoy ourselves now.

One week later, at the Hyakki Yagyō Academy Whirlpool Cinema Village.

Because of the exchange event, a large number of students from Hyakki Yagyō and Gehenna gathered here.

However, the teacher was very surprised to find that in addition to members of the Yin-Yang Department, there were also members of the Pandemonium under Gehenna in charge of security.

Just like in the original story, the Disciplinary Committee is not on duty here; instead, members of the Pandemonium are on duty.

I guess that's what Makoto meant too.

Looking at the bustling crowd, the teacher and the three members of the ninjutsu research department were all amazed.

Following the instructions of the staff outside, the four of them arrived at the performance preparation room.

The preparation room was very spacious, and many students had already gathered inside.

At this moment, an acquaintance came over and greeted the teachers and others.

"Ah, teacher, and the three members of the Ninjutsu Research Club, good morning."

"Iroha!?"

Upon seeing the petite girl with long, wavy, brownish-red hair, the teacher's mind connected to the distant universe.

Isn't it Ibuki who's participating in the performance?!

What on earth is going on?!

"Teacher, please don't look at me with that surprised look."

Iroha sighed helplessly.

"I was forced to play the princess; the Onmyo Department didn't tell me anything. Sigh, I don't know what Makoto is thinking..."

"Eh?!"

Man stared at Iroha in shock: "So you're the one who came in temporarily to play the princess!?"

"That's pretty much it."

Iroha looked utterly dejected: "Right now, she's probably out with Satsuki, taking Ibuki around everywhere."

Seeing this situation, the teacher must have a good idea of ​​what's going on.

This is probably the result of a joint discussion between Nia and Makoto.

In the original work, Nia actually tricked Makoto by sending Ibuki over, where she was captured by the demon Ichika.

But now, with the combined efforts of these two, Makoto, who is afraid that Ibuki will get hurt, will naturally not let Ibuki become a princess, and Iroha will take Ibuki's place!

Without the help of the Iroha Tiger tank, the three members of the Ninjutsu Research Department would likely struggle to cope with the later members of the Onmyo Division and to travel.

With Makoto and Nia secretly plotting, achieving the mission objectives of the Terra Armed Forces this time will likely be quite difficult.

After Iroha left, the four of them were led by staff to a designated spot to rest.

The three hadn't been chatting for long when the power suddenly went out in the room where they were preparing for the performance. Since there were no windows, the entire room was pitch black.

"Ugh, it's so dark!" Mitsuru and Tsukuyo were a little confused. "Why is the power out at this time?"

"Protect our lord!" Izuna jumped to his teacher's side and protected him tightly.

"..." The teacher knew in his heart that the wild girl from the Demon King's Hall had probably already sneaked in by now.

On the other side, looking at the scene without lights, Iroha felt puzzled.

"Why turn off the lights at this time? What a coincidence..."

Iroha suddenly sensed something was wrong and was about to raise her gun to shoot in the direction of danger when the enemy had already knocked her unconscious with the butt of their gun!

The ones who knocked her unconscious were the wild girls from the Chimei tribe who had already infiltrated the area.

These wild girls worked together seamlessly, and taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to them, they took Iroha and ran away!
