Chapter 1
Part 1
-[No Name] Museum, Basement level 3.-
Taking a look back in time. Izayoi and Jin were reading books from last night to late at night, creating a small mountain of books, now both of them were asleep. Izayoi, who hung the soaked and spoilt headphones around his neck, raised his head and murmured,
"....Oi...Chibi-chan, are you awake?"
"...Fuuuu..."
"Still sleeping eh....Hmmmm, since he tried to accompany me in reading the books, of course this would happen."
"Fuahh~" The loud and clear sound he emitted echoed throughout the empty and desolate stack room.
Everyday in the morning he would leave his operation base, once he returned he would immediately search for books that he had not read, this was Izayoi's preferred method of living. Jin was in charge of taking care of the stack room, therefore he had also followed Izayoi's actions--- Since the day Izayoi first came into the Little Garden, he had been repeating that sort of lifestyle daily. Although Izayoi had great physical strength, the desire to sleep has already reached its limit back then.
As both of them started to let out intoxicated sleeping sounds, a flustered Asuka dashed down the staircase to reach them.
"Izayoi-kun! Where are you?"
"....Un? Ohh, it's the Ojou-sama..."
Izayoi, who was losing consciousness, shook his head, attempting to re-enter the realm of dreams. Asuka placed several scattered books as a stepping platform, then she jumped towards Izayoi while executing the kick using her knee -- Alias [Shining Wizard], trying to hit the side of Izayoi's head.
"Wake up nowww!"
"Don't think about succeeding!"
"Whoaaaaaa!"
Asuka's kick landed beautifully on the side of the human shield, Jin Russel's head.
Jin, who got attacked immediately after waking up, rolled three and a half rounds to somewhere distant.
The stack room resounded with the sound of Lily's panicky yell, while Kasukabe brought out words with a surprised reaction.
"Jin.....Jin just rolled a few rounds out of here! Is he alright?"
"...I believe the side of his head that was attacked could not possibly be fine."
Witnessing the sudden chaotic situation, Lily ran over to Jin's side. Kasukabe, with an unwavering expression, pressed both her hands together in prayer.
Asuka did not seem to specifically care about accidentally kicking Jin. Putting her hands on her waist, she yelled,
"Izayoi-kun! Jin-chan! This is an important situation! How could you start falling back to sleep?!"
"Really? It's good to have an important situation and all, but Ojou-sama, I don't recommend you start using Shining Wizards on people's heads, I have strong physical strength so it's another matter, but Chibi-chan's life might be in danger if it hits him."
"Wasn't the one who used me as a shield you, Izayoi-kun?!"
Jin abruptly got up from the small mountain of books, looking like he managed to keep his life.
"There isn't a problem at all. Look, isn't he alive and well?"
"Dead or Alive? You should say even if I live, it would have been fatal! Hasn't Kuro Usagi kept reminding Asuka-san to be more tactful...."
"Oi Chibi-chan, you are noisy."
Taaa! The book Izayoi threw hit Jin's head, giving him another fatal strike.
Jin who lost his consciousness, flew away faster than before. The extremely confused Lily stood at a side, unable to react to the situation.
Izayoi ignored the youngsters' rambling, then he shot an unhappy expression towards Asuka.
".....So? Since you dare to disturb someone's precious dream, it must be something valuable right?"
Izayoi responded to Asuka with enough killing intent to be serious. However, looking through the perspective of Izayoi, to be disturbed when sleeping peacefully, it must have ignited a strong rage. However, Asuka did not mind it at all, she knew what Izayoi was feeling as she had also been interrupted this morning when she tried to go back to sleep.
Asuka then proceeded to pass the invitation letter to the sleepy Izayoi.
"Ehh?"
Still carrying an unhappy expression, Izayoi started reading the opened letter.
"Dual goddess candle wax seal....Is the sender Shiroyasha? Ahhh~ What? This festival is hosted by the Northern and Eastern district [Floor Master] -- [Rise of the Fire Dragon] festival invitation?"
"Right. Although I'm not certain about the details, it certainly looks like a fantastic festival! You must be looking forward to it, right?"
Looking at Asuka's self-proud attitude, Izayoi trembled both his hands while shouting,
"Oi! Ojou-sama, what kind of joke is this! For this boring and downright thing, you disregarded my sleep, you even tried to use a Shining Wizard to kick the side of my head! And what about the contents of this festival? [Besides the beautiful art exhibits showcased by the ghosts and spirits of the Northern district, there are also many different types of Gift Games hosted. The main activity will be scheduled by the [Floor Master], hosting the large festival]! Darn it! It appears to be very interesting, we should go there and have a look~"
"It looks like you are quite enthusiastic about this, eh?"
Izayoi squirmed and jumped around like a beast, putting on his uniform naturally yet looking unrestrained.
After hearing what they said, Lily suddenly changed her expression, with a flustered look, she attempted to stop what everyone was going to do.
"Plea...Please wait a moment! Even if you want to go to the Northern district, at least discuss this with Kuro Usagi-nee....Rig....Right! Jin!
You need to hurry up! Everyone is going to the Northern district!"
"Nor....North district?"
After hearing [Going to the Northern district], the once unconscious Jin immediately jumped up, and he started questioning everyone about the absurd thing he heard,
"Plea.....Please wait a moment! Everyone! You said you were going to the Northern district....Is that true?"
"Unn. It is, is there a problem?"
"When do we have that much expenditure? Do you know how far it is from here to the boundary wall? Lily! Didn't we tell you to keep the large festival a secret----"
"Secret???"
The question marks on the three individuals became one with the sound. However, once Jin had realized that he misspoke, it was already too late, his whole body started to stiffen.
Jin took a glance at them, only seeing the problem children producing malicious grins, emitting out flames of anger.
"...Really? To hide such an interesting festival from us? *sobs* *sobs*"
"We obviously work hard everyday since we were trying to increase the community's strength, it is such a pity. *sobs* *sobs*"
"Since it's like this, we have to teach Kuro Usagi and the others a ruthless lesson right? *sobs* *sobs*"
Although the problem children were all faking their tears, a gleeful smile actually hung on their faces.
Facing against this unrelenting malice, the youngsters started to have cold sweat.
The poor Jin Russel was forcibly kidnapped by the problem children and together, they headed towards the Northern and Eastern district's boundary wall.
