Chapter 276

Genjuro Kazanari sat in the passenger seat, and the person driving was a young man with brown hair wearing a suit, looking like a corporate slave office worker. However, there was some vigilance in his expression, and the body under his clothes was tense, as if he were guarding against the two people in the back.

Most of his attention was placed on Jia Ji. Having undergone professional Hida ninja training, he could even feel that the most dangerous person in the car now was not the monster-like commander, nor the Warrior Maiden holding the power of the relic, but that man.

He had seen the miserable state of that park; even launching a small battle might not necessarily cause that kind of destruction.

"Tsubasa… has already told me about you."

Genjuro, who was probably already an uncle in age, revealed an unexpectedly bright smile and gave a thumbs-up to the guest behind him. Listening to his form of address, he seemed very familiar with that Tsubasa Kazanari.

Tsubasa Kazanari… Genjuro Kazanari…

……Kazanari?

Hibiki blinked her eyes in a daze. She had just recovered from exhaustion, and after watching that animation, it seemed as if a lot of strange knowledge had entered her mind, and she had an inexplicable comprehension.

Although she still didn't know what that thing, which was still buried in her consciousness, gestating, and still needed some time to break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly, was, Hibiki's spirit was not very clear at this moment, and she couldn't think about it anymore.

It's just that even Hibiki could react at this moment that the relationship between the two of them was not ordinary.

"Forgot to say, I'm Tsubasa's uncle, I suppose."

Genjuro Kazanari saw her confusion, laughed loudly, and patted his own thigh, making a dull sound.

Even though she was attacked by Noise, the combination of the two wings under the sunset backlight was still deeply imprinted in Hibiki's heart. She had been completely captured by the voices of those two singers and had become the most loyal fan, so she still had a good impression of this hearty uncle who was like an impassioned red lion and also surnamed Kazanari.

"So that's how it is…"

"But, where are we going now?"

"The base of the Second Division of the Special Disaster Countermeasure Mobile Department."

The young man who had been driving quietly added a sentence and gave a wry smile.

Some people are drivers on the surface, but in reality, they might be the manager of a world-class diva, and behind the scenes, they might also have mastered ninja arts——Shinji Ogawa is such a man who holds multiple positions.

The reaction of the girl named Hibiki Tachibana had always been within their expectations, very much in line with the vigorous curiosity of a girl of this age. However, from beginning to end, the other person hadn't spoken, making people unable to figure out what he was actually thinking.

What's even stranger is that his reaction when he saw them was not surprised at all, as if he had known it all along.

This feeling of being completely out of control was the first time. However, even Tsubasa said that he should be trustworthy, perhaps…

"Don't worry, Ogawa, this guy should be a good person."

Genjuro Kazanari still patted his chest and confidently guaranteed to his companion.

"If you ask why? That would be the intuition between men!"

However, he had one more thing he didn't say.

Even if Jia Ji wanted to do something, they might not be able to stop him, and people who would listen to that kind of song wouldn't be bad people.

Although the three people in the car were almost all meeting Hibiki for the first time, the special atmosphere between them brought great peace of mind to the sleepy young girl.

Her eyelids drooped involuntarily, and then her head tilted, leaning on the person next to her and falling asleep.

Because of the young girl's little-animal-like sleeping face, the three adult men in the car stopped communicating for the time being by tacit agreement. As the scenery outside the window kept passing by, everyone approached their destination with extremely high efficiency.

…………

"Hmm… are we there?"

Wiping the corner of her mouth for any drool that might or might not be there, Hibiki rubbed her eyes.

"This… where is this?"

After getting out of the car, Hibiki, who had originally thought she would see some secret base or a giant fortress that could transform, widened her eyes in surprise. She knew this place——

"Lydian Private Music Academy!"

This is a private music school established on the coastal highlands, adopting a consistent education system from elementary to high school.

Usually, although music subjects are established in the curriculum as a high school, Lydian Music Academy places various music teaching subjects at the center and then incorporates ordinary teaching subjects into its own unique style.

It can be said that it is a special school that puts so much effort into music. In the eyes of some young girls who hope to pursue a music path, it is a good place for further studies.

And although Hibiki is a Warrior Maiden and singing is not without talent, the reason she would pay attention to this place is not because she is very interested in music, but because of the two divas studying here——Kanade Amou and Tsubasa Kazanari.

Even, after she woke up in the hospital, she told everyone in the group that she must come here to go to school in the future.

This kind of feeling is perhaps "longing."

Longing to become as cool and powerful as those two people, so when Hibiki knew she had the ability to become a "Warrior Maiden," she had both surprise and joy.

But she never expected that the legendary Special Disaster Countermeasure Mobile Department was actually hidden in a school.

"Ho ho, this is the place where the most shining revue happens."

In a girls' school where there wouldn't be any men except for faculty and staff, a burly and fierce man whose appearance and looks didn't match "teacher" or "employee" at all arrived.

He seemed to have noticed the young girl's little thoughts, pressed on her hairstyle that had already become somewhat scattered, making her hair become more fluffy.

"I apply for Hibiki to join the Actor Training Department of the Lydian Academy Junior High School in advance as a 99th-term trainee."

Jia Ji, who had always been concerned about everyone's academic qualifications, proposed to Genjuro Kazanari with a serious face.

"That… this, although the school has an Actor Training Department, there shouldn't be a saying like 99th-term students." Shinji Ogawa wiped his cold sweat and replied. Someone just opening his mouth made him feel somewhat difficult to handle.

"Eh? Is that so…"

Jia Ji sighed somewhat regretfully, "Since there isn't, then there's no way."

"Haha, since there isn't, then there's no way." I don't know why Genjuro also said that.

"If we want to talk, let's go inside first."

Shinji Ogawa saw that the number of female students around was increasing, and it seemed that their strange combination had caused quite a commotion, so he hurriedly said.

After walking to the school, following Shinji Ogawa who was leading the way in front, they stopped in front of the elevator in the main building.

"This is the Second Division?"

Hibiki asked suspiciously. How does this look like anything but an ordinary teaching building?

"Not above, it's below."

Clearly an organization shouldering the mission of saving the world, is it actually built casually under a school?

However, Jia Ji knew a little bit about the reason for this.

"In the headquarters, there's a Ryoma, a Koji, and a Kira, no joke."
