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

After the meeting, everyone went directly to the black market, driven by the teacher, while Ayane stayed in the activity room to direct the process.

Upon arriving at the black market, the four members of the countermeasures committee discovered a shopping street and, true to their girlish nature, began to stroll around.

However, the teacher could understand that they had already endured the pressure that the original story should have brought in the later stages before she arrived, so it was not a bad thing for them to relax.

Seeing their genuine smiles while shopping, the teacher felt a sense of peace, similar to that of a father.

"Teacher, this takoyaki looks really good! Let's eat it together!" Nomiya said happily, pointing to a shop.

“Sure, then I’ll treat you.” The teacher then took out an adult’s card.

"Teacher, is it really okay?" Nomiya looked at the teacher. "Actually, you can use my card too."

"Since I am the adult who brought you here, I must take responsibility."

"Yay! Thank you, teacher. I'm so touched!"

Incidentally, for teachers, the adults' cards currently only function as credit cards, and their monthly spending is reimbursed by the Federal Student Association's finance department.

As for any other function, the teacher didn't know either.

He didn't feel anything special when he received the card, and he didn't know why.

In the original storyline, the teacher knew exactly how to use it.

Logically, once a teacher comes into contact with an adult's card, they should immediately know how to use it, or subconsciously know how to use it.

Yet none of these.

Getting back to the main point, the teacher generously paid for the takoyaki and handed the bag containing the steaming hot takoyaki to Nomiya.

Nomiya happily distributed the takoyaki to the other members of the countermeasures committee.

"Here you go, teacher." Nomiya smiled and handed one of the takoyaki to the teacher. "This is yours."

"Ah, thank you." After receiving the tsunayo, the teacher was about to take a bite when she noticed a girl with light brown hair and eyes standing not far away. The girl looked a little embarrassed and kept staring at the tsunayo that the teacher hadn't taken a bite of yet, her mouth almost watering.

The teacher observed carefully: pigtails draped over her shoulders, a white and yellow top, a dark blue skirt with white lace trim, black stockings and casual shoes, and a small backpack with a conspicuous Pellolo logo.

Wait a minute, isn't that Hifumi?

The teacher also didn't expect Hifumi to be in this black market, after all, this scene in the original work appeared many days later.

Perhaps due to some details that even the teachers themselves were unaware of, a butterfly effect occurred, causing Hifumi to arrive here ahead of schedule.

And judging from her appearance, it seems she doesn't have money for food?

Why don't we cook the fish for her?

But the teacher also had concerns. After all, Hifumi didn't recognize him yet, and if he rashly offered her food, she would most likely mistake him for a strange old man and run away...

At that moment, several delinquent girls suddenly appeared and surrounded Hifumi.

Just by looking at the expressions on those delinquent girls' faces, you could tell that Hifumi was in danger.

"Hmm~, teacher, are you worried about that girl?" Hoshino approached the teacher at this moment.

"Judging from her school uniform, she's a student at Trinity College."

"Huh? Why would Trinity students come to the black market?"

"Should we go help?" Bai Zi picked up his gun.

"Let me handle this." The teacher put the takoyaki back into the bag Nomiya had handed her. "I'll use my adult abilities to deal with them."

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Hifumi...

"Waaaaah... I clearly gave you all the money, why are you still bothering me?" Hifumi looked at the group of delinquent girls with ill intentions, her expression panicked.

"Heh, of course we've changed our minds." The blonde delinquent girl in the lead, wearing an X-patterned mask, sneered. "We'll rob you for the money, and we'll rob you too. Then we'll make Trinity College pay to ransom you. Wouldn't that maximize our profits?"

"Boss is wise!"

“Hahahahahahahaha——!!!”

"Waaaaah, I have to find a way to escape from them quickly..." Just as Hifumi was planning to leave, looking at the group of smug delinquent girls, the concrete ground they were on suddenly began to soften!

“Ugh!?”

The group of delinquent girls lost their footing and quickly fell to the ground, their bodies even being covered by the quicksand-like cement floor!

The next moment, their bodies were completely trapped in the concrete, leaving only their heads exposed.

"Huh?! What...what's going on?!" Hifumi was completely taken aback by this sudden turn of events.

Just then, a white-haired girl with wolf ears grabbed her hand and ran away.

"Come on!"

When the other delinquent girls present saw their friend being attacked and their target being kidnapped by several strangers, they immediately gave chase.

Some time later, in an alley in the black market.

"Phew... Phew... I finally shook them off."

All six of them were panting heavily, their foreheads covered in sweat.

“Hoo…” Hifumi took a deep breath and introduced herself to everyone present, “My name is Hifumi Ajitani, thank you for saving me.”

"Gurgle—." At this moment, Hifumi's stomach began to rumble.

"Ahahaha, I'm sorry." Hifumi's cheeks flushed slightly. "All the money I brought today was robbed by those thugs, and now I haven't been able to get anything to eat..."

"Here, I have one more tsukiyaki." The teacher handed the last tsukiyaki from the bag to Hifumi. "Don't go hungry."

"Thank you!!!" Hifumi was starving and completely disregarded the ladylike image required of Trinity students, devouring her food.

After eating takoyaki (a type of Japanese fish cake), Fumi explained her purpose to everyone.

Hifumi originally wanted to find out some information about the area around Perolo on the black market so that she could arrange a time to scout it out in advance, but she was unlucky and was cornered by thugs, and all the money she brought was robbed. Just as she was trying to find a way back, she was intercepted by the same group of thugs again.

If it weren't for the timely discovery by the teachers and others, Hifumi would probably have had to find a way to escape on her own.

After Fumi introduced herself, the four members of the countermeasures committee, the teacher, and Ayane from the correspondence all introduced themselves and explained their purpose.

"Huh? You're going to rob a black market bank?!" Hifumi had a bad feeling for some reason. "Um... can I leave now?"

"Hehe~, Hifumi-san, it must be fate that we met~."

Hoshino lazily put his hand on Hifumi's shoulder: "Since we helped you and let you hear our plan, you should definitely show your gratitude by taking action~."

“Yeah~.” Serika grinned and put her hand on Hifumi’s other shoulder. “Besides, if you leave alone, you’re more likely to be spotted by thugs again. If you stay with us, you can get our protection~.”

"It would be wonderful if Hifumi-san were to participate!" Nomiya exclaimed excitedly.

"Mmm!" Bai Zi nodded emphatically, his wolf ears perked up high, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Hahaha..." Hifumi was covered in sweat.

For some reason, she felt like she had just escaped one wolf's den only to fall into another.
