Chapter 490 – Episode 54. Daigo Succession War.
After finishing the assorted katsu, Lisa Minamoto and I went to a café and spent some time eating dessert. Of course, as before, it was a café that Lisa Minamoto personally selected. The course included a net café, meal, and café, so it felt like a date course for an old couple.
She didn’t talk much while eating dessert, but surprisingly it wasn’t awkward. I don’t know if it’s because I watch cartoons without conversation at a net café or because Minamoto Lisa is comfortable.
Perhaps because she spent time reading a book at a net café, the sky was already dark when she left the café.
“Shall we break up now?”
Cool. Risa Minamoto came out of the café and spoke to me with a somewhat refreshed expression. She looked like she was happy to watch comics after a long time and meet a colleague who shares her tastes. As expected, Risa Minamoto was not a delinquent. If she’s a delinquent she usually sees that she’s about to go straight into the house, so now would be a good time to play.
“Let’s stop by somewhere for a moment before we part ways.”
I glanced at my phone and grabbed Risa Minamoto’s wrist. And she went to the delivery locker in an alley.
“Huh? “You can pick up a package by yourself, right?”
Lisa Minamoto looked at her delivery locker and lightly stroked her wrist, which was held by me, and asked her with a puzzled look.
“It’s your gift, so there’s no point in looking for it alone.”
“I said it wasn’t necessary… “I said I had enough fun today.”
Even if you have fun playing, it will be a different feeling from the joy of receiving a gift. Of course, I didn’t prepare anything big because I didn’t have enough time. I entered the password and took out a box from the delivery locker.
“But I wanted to give it to you, so I prepared it, so take it.”
“… Thank you.”
Lisa Minamoto, who received the box from me, said she was fine but was curious about the contents of the box and asked if I could open it. She had an expression on her face that said, so she nodded. Lisa Minamoto immediately opened her box and checked its contents.
The contents of the box were a 12-inch figure of the main character of ○Punch Man, Mummery Cloak. Since she knew that the Miyashi Rocks branch had a top-of-the-line 3D printer in order to be self-sufficient in simple parts, she asked Eve to quickly create the figure.
In fact, it was made entirely with a metal 3D printer and had no joints, so it would be closer to a statue than a figure, but since Eve did all the coloring, there wasn’t much difference in appearance. Since the concept was to include a statue inside a figure, it wasn’t wrong no matter what I said.
“Ah… ! Thank you.”
Seeing that I couldn’t take my eyes off him, he seemed very satisfied. Even if it is made with a 3D printer, the quality varies depending on the skill of the person making it. As it was made by Eve, who can be said to be the world’s best AI, the quality was beyond imagination. The pose was vivid, as if it could move at any moment, and the coloring was very well done.
It was of great quality for something I ordered at a tonkatsu restaurant and had it made in no time at all in an hour and thirty minutes. Of course, the price was very expensive as the quality was high. In addition, I received quick service from a dark agent, so the price was considerable for a figure.
Of course, because I had so many rock figures, making one figure was like taking a bucket of water out of a lake, so I was able to ask Eve for it without much thought.
“How did you order it so quickly?”
It was natural to be curious. It was only four hours ago that I went to the net café where I can learn about Lisa Minamoto’s tastes, and even if I ordered directly from the net café, delivery would not be this fast.
“There’s a place where you misunderstood me before.”
Risa Minamoto also knew about the cancer. She misunderstood that I and Diana Saionji were going to a love hotel, so she introduced me to the Miyashi Amsang branch. After that, she seemed to have forgotten what I said, as if she didn’t think much about the cancer. It was Lisa Minamoto, clapping her hands while doing so.
“Oh, I did. Was it a cancerous wound? It must have cost a lot of money to prepare in such a hurry, but it is a very useful place… Thank you.”
“Because I promised to give you a gift… I hope you like it.”
“Thank you. I like it.”
He looks like he’s going to talk like a tsundere, and he hugs the figure tightly as if he likes it. It looks pretty cute, but this figure is made of metal, so it would hurt to hold it that tightly… ? The weight may be because Eve made it using a hollowing method, but when I lifted the box earlier, I noticed that it was light, so even the female Lisa Minamoto could lift it.
“Shall we go home now?”
“Okay. “You had fun today, you.”
Since she was done with the business of giving gifts, she asked to go back, and Risa Minamoto answered with a smile. By the way, how long are you going to say “You”? Risa Minamoto seemed to quite like the title “You.”
“How long are you going to call the teacher you?”
“I’m a student at Miya City High School right now?”
When I asked jokingly, Risa Minamoto also answered with a playful smile. I can’t believe the normally cold gyaru would show this kind of appearance, even in Gap Moe there was no such thing as Gap Moe. I was a little excited without even realizing it.
“Then since I’m not a teacher either, let’s call today a date.”
“Date?”
“We’re going on a short date until we have to go get a taxi.”
I held Lisa Minamoto’s hand. This action was like an adventure to advance the relationship. It may have backfired on her because her former homeroom teacher had developed a weak male phobia, but there was no progress without challenge, so she gave it a try.
“…”
Fortunately, Risa Minamoto didn’t get angry or pull her hand away. Feeling that it was an unspoken consent, I went to the Miya Prime Mall where we first met and bought a sweet ice cream and gave it to Risa Minamoto’s free hand.
The two walked to the taxi stop, holding hands with one hand and eating ice cream with the other. My steps became slower and slower, as if I hoped I would never arrive at the taxi stop.
No matter how slowly I walked, I had no choice but to quickly arrive at a taxi stop not far away. At the taxi stop, a taxi came right away and without much conversation, Risa Minamoto got into the taxi right away.
“Thank you for today…”
“Don’t say thank you because we had fun together.”
Lisa Minamoto left her incomprehensible words of gratitude and took a taxi home. I could have taken Lisa Minamoto to her house myself, but if I did that, the Minamoto Intelligence Team would quickly catch me and start investigating.
That is why this mission was difficult. You need to get closer to Risa Minamoto, but you have to get closer while avoiding the gaze of the Minamoto family next to Risa Minamoto. The closer you are, the greater the risk of getting caught.
I was a little glad that Risa Minamoto was the image of her being a bundle of thoughts. If she were a real girl, like a flower in a greenhouse, her every move would be monitored, and I wouldn’t be able to touch her.

“What? “She wants to search the São Francisco Academy?”
Kirie Kurayamada looked at her father Kazuma Kurayama and asked back. St. Francis Girls’ Academy was one of the most prestigious schools attended by most of the daughters of famous Japanese families. She even said that she was a graduate of St. Francis Girls’ Academy, so she could be said to know her school better than anyone else.
It was nonsensical that Jinildang, a notorious terrorist organization, would search St. Francis Girls’ Academy.
Even though Jinil Party is a terrorist organization, its continued existence until now is largely due to support from forces with far-right views. However, if they knew that their daughter or granddaughter attending St. Francis Girls’ Academy would be in danger, they would cut off support. If that were the case, Jinildang would never survive.
Kazuma Kurayama looked at her daughter’s expression and opened her mouth, shaking her head as if she had misunderstood what he said.
“Who said that Jin Il-dang was conducting a search? You do the search. “What can anyone say about a teacher at an academy walking around the academy?”
“Aren’t I a member of the Jinil Party?”
Although he held the position of deputy head thanks to his father being the head of Jinildang, he still couldn’t shake the feeling that he was on the outside. This is because I didn’t even know anything about the search I’m talking about, and this is the first time I’ve heard about it.
In other matters as well, when he saw his father and Jinildang colleagues giving him unfair positions and doing things he knew nothing about, he often thought that he was just a facade. She couldn’t help but feel sad about Kirie Kurayama because she just spoke as if she wasn’t a member of the Jin gang.
“Of course, you are a member of the Jinil Party, but people around you see you as a teacher at St. Francis Girls’ Academy, so it is a good thing for us.”
“All right. So what on earth are you searching for?”
“Didn’t I tell you that too? Oh, I did… ! I didn’t tell you…”
My father, whom I hadn’t seen in a long time, felt a little strange. He felt as if he was possessed by something. When Kirie Kurayamada was feeling her strange discomfort, Kazuma Kurayama began to tell her story.
It was a story about the roots of ancient earthquakes and that if they could get the roots of those earthquakes, Jinildang would be able to take hegemony over Japan.
And it is highly likely that the root of the earthquake is in Miya City, and more than anything else, it is most likely at the site of St. Francis Girls’ Academy.
Kirie Kurayamada was dumbfounded when she heard the story. Of course, she was right in the era where supernatural beings with superpowers and all that were appearing. Because she even has the ability to fall into that category of superpowers.
However, earthquakes are a natural phenomenon that has already been scientifically verified. What kind of nonsense is the root of an earthquake? And if you have the roots of that earthquake, you can have Japanese hegemony? My father, whose stories were completely different from Jinildang’s thoughts until now, suddenly seemed unfamiliar. He thought everything put the Japanese imperial family first, but it seems that wasn’t the case.
“That can’t happen. Earthquakes are just natural phenomena!”
“No, I can feel it. As the owner of the document, I can feel it. We are close to the root of the earthquake… !”
Kirie Kurayamada felt it. I can no longer convince my father with words. The problem was the document my father was referring to. My father was bewitched by the magic of that document.
“As the head of the family, I am famous! Investigate St. Francis Girls’ Academy as quickly as possible to find clues to the root of the earthquake!”
Kazuma Kurayama screamed. Looking at her crazy father, Kirie Kurayamada could only nod her head sadly.
