Moroha was scolded with no mercy.
She made him sit on the floor.
Even though there were banquet dishes on the table in front of his eyes, she made him wait.
Sophia and Kamekichi started to eat as if devouring it greedily; Moroha looked at them with a grudge.
– Don’t look away!
Then, his head was hit.
– Hey, what’s wrong, Moroha? You’ve been silent from a while ago. Why don’t you say something? Oh? Isn’t it time to give an explanation already!?
The one who scolded him was a beautiful maid.
However, her mouth was super undesirable.
The impressiveness of her eyes peeled and how she stared at him was already at a professional killer level.
Of course, she was the intimidating British mad dog AJ-san.
– … I have nothing to explain.
– You bastard, you think that if you are admirable then you’re going to be forgiven? That as long as you reflect on that you’ll be able to receive my pardon? You’re thinking such an overly optimistic thing, aren’t you? Huuh?
– Kuh…
The sharp reprimand of AJ seemed to hit right in the mark.
By literally holding the left and right shoulders of Moroha,
– Hey, Angela? Moroha regrets it, but can I ask you to forgive him in that regard?
– Since even Lightning Empress used an incantation, it was inevitable for him to pay her with the same coin!
Shizuno and Satsuki came to defend him.
Furthermore, the combined defective speech of Leshya and Haruka came to watch them over anxiously afterwards.
– Hey, Moroha-san. Isn’t it pathetic to be protected by four people who furthermore are women?
– Kuh…
AJ was that much relentless.
The secondary residence of Katya in the city of Yekaterinburg.
Since he defeated Lightning Empress’s party, and that none of his allies resulted injured or dead, Katya invited all the members with a smile on her whole face, saying「Let’s celebrate grandiosely tonight!」.
The Erratic Portal of the school principal was at the bottom of the sea (or rather, they presumed the other side cancelled it, as it became quite a great deal) and there was no way to return to Japan until tomorrow anyways.
They had been decided to deepen the Russo-Japanese friendship via Strikers and the moderate faction.
Things were going great until….
Yeah, until It reached the “it’s time to party!” stage――
「Wahoo! You were the MVP today」AJ, who for some reason wore a maid outfit, said bashfully――
Then Satsuki said「Yup, Moroha’s incantation was amazing! He was able to create a sea!」――
That ended up exposing him, and the result of that was the current situation….
– I’ll show my appreciation for your efforts today.
The beautiful maid, who said so gently,
– Today is the day that I’ll take it out on you!
She raged, showing her bared canines.
– I thought it was strange! A sea appearing in the vast plain out of nowhere! But I thought “no way”! To us, to your allies! The reinforcements that hastened to join you and help you! I believed in you, that there was no way you would do something like almost making us drown! I believed that it was surely a trap of Lightning Empress who was trying to eliminate both enemies and allies without discrimination!
– … Well, that water doesn’t attack anyone who isn’t hostile towards me.
– You’re saying it’s my fault because I can’t swim, you bastaaaaaard!?
– In that case, you should have been okay if you used anything but Mongyoku, right?
Moroha turned his neck to the left and right, saying “No! No!” to AJ who waved her hand overhead, snapping back at him.
The angered AJ didn’t realize that she carelessly blurted out a thing she was poor at. She didn’t even notice the ones around giggling at her.
While she endured what Satsuki spurted out,
– Come on, please forgive him! There was no way he could leave that giant as is, was there!?
– I don’t want your retorts!
For some reason, Moroha was slapped.
– … But you told me to explain moments ago.
– Huuuh? The one who continues talking even after losing the argument is me now? Huh?
AJ bent forward and pressed both cheeks of Moroha from their sides with turning movements.
The drooping bust of AJ shook in front of him first than the pain, he was troubled by the place of refuge of his sight.
– Do you know why incantations have that name? Because they’re prohibited to use without permission, right? Didn’t you learn that at school? Did you know that the map of Russia ended up changing because of you!? When I got in contact with the Russian government a while ago, they were indignant, you know? How are they going to explain to the mass media that an inland sea increased all of a sudden? I guess they’re going to name it『Haimura Sea』?
– … Please forgive me that much.
– Reflect seriously after I show you a satellite photo later!
– … Yes. … I’m sorry.
Moroha became gloomy.
Then AJ glanced at him with one eye and peeked at his attitude.
After that, she cleared her throat with *ahem* *ahem*.
– We-well, it seems you have reflected enough. I’ll forgive you this time. So, if it were to occur something like taking the blame to the Japanese Division later on, then I’ll intervene once you’ve been scolded enough. I’m sure my lord will kindly put in a good word for you.
– Yes…
Moroha looked up at AJ and admired her as if seeing a goddess.
To think this sermon had such a deep consideration!
It wasn’t just bullying!
– I’m glad she’s a reasonable person, don’t you agree, Nii-sama?
– To think Angela is so kind like this… I thought that maybe she ate something strange, but in any case, this issue is settled.
Satsuki and Shizuno embraced the shoulders of Moroha from the left and right, they were delighted to come together with him.
– I didn’t eat something strange!
AJ got in a bad mood again but she was having fun.
– If we’re going to eat, then let’s have a feast. I’m quite hungry actually.
– I haven’t seen a single dish in all this time. I look forward to enjoying them.
Haruka and Leshya pulled the hands of Moroha from the left and right.
Furthermore, Katya, who left to do business, came back and,
– That’s right, because the Russian government is acting like we expected, Haimura-han doesn’t need to be worried about anything. So eat to your heart’s content.
She gave him reliable words.
– Thank you. And thanks for the meal.
– Now that it has come to this, it’s kind of sad that we had to leave Maya behind because it was too dangerous.
– But it’ll be fine if you wrap up some as souvenirs, don’t you agree?
While they talked about things like that, he surrounded a table with Satsuki, Shizuno, Leshya and Haruka.
Everyone picked up and ate what they liked at the buffet-styled party.
All the rest of the Strikers looked like they satisfied their bellies already, and were getting in the mood to have a pleasant talk with the people of the moderate faction. Particularly, the number of adult women surrounding Taketsuru-senpai was amazing. Only Sophie showed an inexhaustible appetite, and Kamekichi, who competed with her, was crouching with a pale face. Takenaka was looking after him.
They also felt a bit sad for Isurugi and Tokiko. They wouldn’t go back while leaving their duties as is. They, who haven’t finished the report phone calls to various Japanese related parties as their duty of captain and vice-captain, hadn’t started to enjoy the feast yet.
The banquet hall had a good atmosphere on the whole.
The blossoming of lighthearted talks here and there.
And, among them, AJ and Katya still continued an uncomfortable conversation.
– What about the situation of Lightning Empress?
– She’s somewhat dispirited, and became something like an empty shell. Haimura-han scared her to a large extent, didn’t he? 『What am I doing wrong?』When he heard those words, she shouted “so creepy” and got the goose bumps.
– He’s not eager to be creepy. Isn’t that a good sign though?
– Aha, I’m joking. Well, her humanity does have problems, but regarding her abilities, she’s necessary for Russia. If a Dreadnought were to appear again, we’ll be at a loss without the incantations of that person, so it will be the very best if she mends her ways, I guess.
– Anyways, you guys, the moderate faction, are going to operate the Russian Division and become its core, right?
– Yeah, from my point of view, Vasilisa is still the head of the Russian Division, but we grasped the real power. We got her consent. Can you report so to Sir Edward as well? Let’s forget all that happened until now; we’re glad to be able to get along with you from now on.
– Sure thing. I’ll convey so.
The representatives of the Russian Division and the British Division shook each other’s hands tightly with regards to this situation.
Applause burst simultaneously with that.
Moroha gave vigorous applause.
– Thanks a lot, thanks a loooot! ――Ah, Haimura-han is the key figure and yet, why is he clapping as if it were other people’s affairs!?
Katya came to his table in a flash and flatly pointed that out.
Moroha practically felt he saw a person who pointed that out for the first time. And that person was a Russian.
– No, I’m not that grandiose or anything like that.
– You’re a humble person, aren’t you?
Moroha shrugged his shoulders and stopped eating as Katya stared in wonder.
– You may say so, but I won’t feel good unless I give my thanks to Haimura-han at least.
– It’s not like I fought to get someone’s gratitude. I already achieved my goal.
Moroha wore a smile and turned his gaze towards Leshya.
Leshya stared back at him and felt embarrassed for a moment, but eventually, and as if making up her mind, she softened the corners of her mouth just a little bit and showed a reserved and bashful smile.
Yup, if that meant she was grateful, then this was more than enough.
– It’s okay if Haimura-han says so, but…. Can I take the opportunity to depend on you for another favor?
– What is it?
– We aim to do our best to exterminate Metaphysicals as the new Russian Division and we intend to aim for a stronger organization than before, however… since probably there’ll be disputes for a while, especially if unavoidable internal conflicts or something like that were to occur, then those would be beyond our control, don’t you agree?
– Yes, I agree. If Katya-san and the others resulted to be in trouble, then I’ll come running as soon as possible, but――
He carefully thought what he should do in specific and Shizuno, from the side,
– When that moment comes, please call the Japanese Division for help first. If what you say is true, then the Japanese Division should approve the deployment of Moroha. In that case, we’ll use Erratic Portal right away.
She answered instead of him smoothly.
Shizuno-san was as reliable in this sort of things as one would expect.
(Thank you. You saved me)
(Don’t mention it)
When they communicated with their eyes, Satsuki, who was next to them, got jealous. Although it was fine to not worry about it.
– Alright, thanks a lot! When push comes to shove, we’ll take the liberty to do so.
Katya clapped her hands with great joy,
– But, can I depend on you a bit more?
She grabbed Moroha’s arm with her hands and twined them around as if clinging to him.
「「Heeeeeeeeey!?」」
Satsuki and Haruka peeled their eyes like twin sisters.
Leshya had written「Honestly, that’s not funny. Don’t say anything」on her face.
The face of Shizuno was scary, he couldn’t see it.
– Ka-Katya-san? Isn’t this too bold for a Russo-Japanese friendship?
– Allow me to say something even bolder, but Haimura-han――why don’t you really become the head of the Russian Division?
Moroha backed out of such unthinkable request. But Katya held his arm strongly, she didn’t let him escape.
– Eh? You’re serious?
– Very, very serious, super serious. Actually, I said that Vasilisa-han was isolated moments ago, didn’t I? If Haimura-han does it, then she can give up her seat. And I can be the vice-branch head.
– ABSOLUTELY NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!
The scream of Satsuki felt like it pierced their ears there.
– W-what a lively girl…
Satsuki thrust her index finger at the bewildered Katya.
– Moroha left a special someone in Japan! He’s destined to be tied together with that person in Japan! That’s why becoming something like the head of the Russian Division is absurd!
– Is that true, Haimura-han?
「It is true!」Satsuki shouted, without giving Moroha the time to answer.
– His important, lovely little sister who loves him dearly is waiting for him! By the way, that one is m――
– What? Just his little sister? You surprised me, you know?
Katya laughed off.
– Don’t say “just”!
Steam blew from Satsuki’s head, but Katya laughed, without paying attention to her.
「Idiot」was written on Haruka’s face. That was also written on Leshya’s face.
– Little sister, aren’t you too old to not be independent of him? Hey, Haimura-han, become our division head～. No one is more appropriate than Haimura-han～
– N-no, I told you it troubles me.
– Come ooon, you see that Moroha is also troubled, isn’t he!?
– In that case, I have the whole night to persuade him～.
– *Eeeeeeeek*, what’s this stupid debauchery!?
Satsuki put her hands on her cheeks, her face looked like “The Scream” of Munch.
Katya looked at her face, then looked at Satsuki’s flat chest,
– Fufun.
She laughed scornfully, elated with success. As she pushed her ample chest against Moroha like showing it off.
– The size of the chest isn’t the value of a woman! Come on! Say something, Shizuno!
– Ara? I think it’s important too?
– Y-you traitor.
Satsuki cursed at Shizuno who lifted up the lower breasts by folding her arms to emphasize her chest was voluptuous than Katya’s.
– Is that so? I think there’s something more important than breasts size.
Leshya rubbed her squishy big breasts and inclined her head to the side.
– Say it properly! Say that with much more impact! Fight with this woman so that Moroha doesn’t end up going to Russia!
– ? But if Moroha becomes the head of the Russian Division, then I’ll just return to Russia?
– Y-you traitor.
Satsuki cursed at Leshya who inclined her head to the other side.
– Momo-senpaaaaaai.
– Ah, don’t appeal to me. I don’t particularly have any reason to restrain Moroha.
– I don’t need your masochism right nooooooooooooow!
Satsuki was stamping her feet so much from some time ago that it looked like a new type of dance somehow.
A person of the moderate faction saw that and misunderstood she was performing a Cossack dance.
Loud cheers from everywhere happened in response to her excellent skill. They joined her rhythm by clapping their hands, she seemed to dance more and more happily.
– Hey, Ranjou-san. Why is that you can’t lose the name of “Dance Queen” you have?
– I don’t have that kind of thing, you know? Or perhaps I should say, Urushibara hasn’t been acting with composure from a while ago, so think of a plan to defeat that Russian woman thoroughly with that crafty brain of yours!
– I’ve been given the hard shoulder like that…. I’m depressed, I should d ――
– I’m talking of a different Russian woman, so relax, Leshyaa.
Satsuki, who was out of breath, stretched her hand for a glass of juice.
Shizuno, who looked at her, took an aggressive attitude as if saying she was hopeless and,
– Even if you don’t worry, Moroha won’t go anywhere, don’t you think?
She clung to the arm to the opposite side of Katya.
Despite she confirmed with Moroha with her mouth without looking him at all, she expressed an incendiary gaze to Katya on the other side.
– It seems like the one who’s really formidable isn’t that stupid young girl.
Katya caught that gaze with dignity.
The gazes of the two beautiful girls who held Moroha’s arms gave off sparks.
A not-so-straightforward terrifying female battle aura.
An intensity so strong that overwhelmed not only Haruka and Leshya, but also Satsuki.
– If you know that he won’t go, then why are you arousing him…?
Even though she expressly didn’t decide to make things worse, Moroha was heartbroken.
Thanks to this, Katya became more determined and the strength that held his arm got stronger.
Furthermore, by being glued to her, a good smell came from her hair.
– Ara? Isn’t a war tactic to display the difference of status from the beginning and strike it thoroughly?
Shizuno stuck firmly to him determinedly, her hair also smelled good.
Moroha was already at a loss due to this and that seductiveness.
– That thing is called “the victory goes to the one who makes the first move”. A hobby that seems to match this young girl.
Katya was more and more decided.
– Do you think we could have had a good friendship if Moroha didn’t exist?
Shizuno was more and more determined.
What a Russo-Japanese breasts confrontation.
– Certainly, if Haimura-han didn’t exist.
Katya was more and mo――how long would this battle continue?
– Somehow, it sounds like I’m the source of evil…
If his arms were free, Moroha would have held his head in his arms.
This could be stopped if the honest Isurugi was there, but he had little hope for another person with honor…
A goddess didn’t abandon Moroha who had given up so.
A cold roar reverberated.
– That’s enough, you lasses!
Shizuno and Katya, who were showered with it, got frightened and released Moroha’s arms.
All present, including Satsuki and company, turned their eyes to the direction of the voice.
The one who spoke from her core, with her arms folded, was AJ.
– Moroha is tired, do you get that at least? Give him a break.
How kind those words were!
Moroha was involuntarily moved to tears.
– Even Angela-han was nagging the tired Haimura-han not long ago!
– That was a necessary reprimand. Is your lover’s quarrel necessary now?
– Uh…
Katya was at a loss for words.
– It’s my defeat.
Satsuki raised her hands and withdrew graciously.
(But, I’ll get Angela to explain me why she became kind towards Moroha so fast afterwards)
Moroha was drenched in cold sweat due to the whisper of Shizuno into his ear when she separated from him.
– Come here, Moroha. You won’t feel rested if you’re surrounded by little girls, will you?
– Well, if everyone behaved normally, I wouldn’t be particularly troubled to that extent…
– Since they weren’t behaving normally after I left you alone, I did what I just say, didn’t I?
– Yes, you did.
Moroha, whose nape of the neck was grabbed by the beautiful maid, was taken along to a conflictive mood.
– You’re violent, Angela-san! Who do you think you are!?
Satsuki barked, but AJ had the look in her eyes, feared as a mad dog in her motherland,
– Me? I’m this guy’s pilot. I’ll take responsibility for this guy while he’s in Russia.
She silenced her with a sharp look.
Moroha apologized by pressing the palms and fingers of both hands together to Satsuki and the others as he was dragged away with his nape of the neck still seized.
Then――
– Somehow, I feel like every time Angela-san interferes, I experience something unpleasant.
He grumbled in a half-joking manner while being dragged slowly.
– Is that a trouble?
– Well, it depends on the time and situation…
– Hahaha! Good to know. Then I shall triumphantly report this to my lord once I return to my country. 『I did a great job in causing troubles for Moroha Haimura』. How’s that?
AJ was so cheerful, laughing loudly like that, that he couldn’t hate her.
– Yeah, please convey my words to Edward――
Because of that, Moroha showed a wry smile on his face and replied, putting many thoughts into it.
“My thanks to the best guide there is”.
Moroha was scolded with no mercy.
She made him sit on the floor.
Even though there were banquet dishes on the table in front of his eyes, she made him wait.
Sophia and Kamekichi started to eat as if devouring it greedily; Moroha looked at them with a grudge.

– Very, very serious, super serious. Actually, I said that Vasilisa-han was isolated moments ago, didn’t I? If Haimura-han does it, then she can give up her seat. And I can be the vice-branch head.
– ABSOLUTELY NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!
The scream of Satsuki felt like it pierced their ears there.
– W-what a lively girl…
Satsuki thrust her index finger at the bewildered Katya.
– Moroha left a special someone in Japan! He’s destined to be tied together with that person in Japan! That’s why becoming something like the head of the Russian Division is absurd!
– Is that true, Haimura-han?
「It is true!」Satsuki shouted, without giving Moroha the time to answer.
– His important, lovely little sister who loves him dearly is waiting for him! By the way, that one is m――
– What? Just his little sister? You surprised me, you know?
Katya laughed off.
– Don’t say “just”!
Steam blew from Satsuki’s head, but Katya laughed, without paying attention to her.
「Idiot」was written on Haruka’s face. That was also written on Leshya’s face.
– Little sister, aren’t you too old to not be independent of him? Hey, Haimura-han, become our division head～. No one is more appropriate than Haimura-han～
– N-no, I told you it troubles me.
– Come ooon, you see that Moroha is also troubled, isn’t he!?
– In that case, I have the whole night to persuade him～.
– *Eeeeeeeek*, what’s this stupid debauchery!?
Satsuki put her hands on her cheeks, her face looked like “The Scream” of Munch.
Katya looked at her face, then looked at Satsuki’s flat chest,
– Fufun.
She laughed scornfully, elated with success. As she pushed her ample chest against Moroha like showing it off.
– The size of the chest isn’t the value of a woman! Come on! Say something, Shizuno!
– Ara? I think it’s important too?
– Y-you traitor.
Satsuki cursed at Shizuno who lifted up the lower breasts by folding her arms to emphasize her chest was voluptuous than Katya’s.
– Is that so? I think there’s something more important than breasts size.
Leshya rubbed her squishy big breasts and inclined her head to the side.
– Say it properly! Say that with much more impact! Fight with this woman so that Moroha doesn’t end up going to Russia!
– ? But if Moroha becomes the head of the Russian Division, then I’ll just return to Russia?
– Y-you traitor.
Satsuki cursed at Leshya who inclined her head to the other side.
– Momo-senpaaaaaai.
– Ah, don’t appeal to me. I don’t particularly have any reason to restrain Moroha.
– I don’t need your masochism right nooooooooooooow!
Satsuki was stamping her feet so much from some time ago that it looked like a new type of dance somehow.
A person of the moderate faction saw that and misunderstood she was performing a Cossack dance.
Loud cheers from everywhere happened in response to her excellent skill. They joined her rhythm by clapping their hands, she seemed to dance more and more happily.
– Hey, Ranjou-san. Why is that you can’t lose the name of “Dance Queen” you have?
– I don’t have that kind of thing, you know? Or perhaps I should say, Urushibara hasn’t been acting with composure from a while ago, so think of a plan to defeat that Russian woman thoroughly with that crafty brain of yours!
– I’ve been given the hard shoulder like that…. I’m depressed, I should d ――
– I’m talking of a different Russian woman, so relax, Leshyaa.
Satsuki, who was out of breath, stretched her hand for a glass of juice.
Shizuno, who looked at her, took an aggressive attitude as if saying she was hopeless and,
– Even if you don’t worry, Moroha won’t go anywhere, don’t you think?
She clung to the arm to the opposite side of Katya.
Despite she confirmed with Moroha with her mouth without looking him at all, she expressed an incendiary gaze to Katya on the other side.
– It seems like the one who’s really formidable isn’t that stupid young girl.
Katya caught that gaze with dignity.
The gazes of the two beautiful girls who held Moroha’s arms gave off sparks.
A not-so-straightforward terrifying female battle aura.
An intensity so strong that overwhelmed not only Haruka and Leshya, but also Satsuki.
– If you know that he won’t go, then why are you arousing him…?
Even though she expressly didn’t decide to make things worse, Moroha was heartbroken.
Thanks to this, Katya became more determined and the strength that held his arm got stronger.
Furthermore, by being glued to her, a good smell came from her hair.
– Ara? Isn’t a war tactic to display the difference of status from the beginning and strike it thoroughly?
Shizuno stuck firmly to him determinedly, her hair also smelled good.
Moroha was already at a loss due to this and that seductiveness.
– That thing is called “the victory goes to the one who makes the first move”. A hobby that seems to match this young girl.
Katya was more and more decided.
– Do you think we could have had a good friendship if Moroha didn’t exist?
Shizuno was more and more determined.
What a Russo-Japanese breasts confrontation.
– Certainly, if Haimura-han didn’t exist.
Katya was more and mo――how long would this battle continue?
– Somehow, it sounds like I’m the source of evil…
If his arms were free, Moroha would have held his head in his arms.
This could be stopped if the honest Isurugi was there, but he had little hope for another person with honor…
A goddess didn’t abandon Moroha who had given up so.
A cold roar reverberated.
– That’s enough, you lasses!
Shizuno and Katya, who were showered with it, got frightened and released Moroha’s arms.
All present, including Satsuki and company, turned their eyes to the direction of the voice.
The one who spoke from her core, with her arms folded, was AJ.
– Moroha is tired, do you get that at least? Give him a break.
How kind those words were!
Moroha was involuntarily moved to tears.
– Even Angela-han was nagging the tired Haimura-han not long ago!
– That was a necessary reprimand. Is your lover’s quarrel necessary now?
– Uh…
Katya was at a loss for words.
– It’s my defeat.
Satsuki raised her hands and withdrew graciously.
(But, I’ll get Angela to explain me why she became kind towards Moroha so fast afterwards)
Moroha was drenched in cold sweat due to the whisper of Shizuno into his ear when she separated from him.
– Come here, Moroha. You won’t feel rested if you’re surrounded by little girls, will you?
– Well, if everyone behaved normally, I wouldn’t be particularly troubled to that extent…
– Since they weren’t behaving normally after I left you alone, I did what I just say, didn’t I?
– Yes, you did.
Moroha, whose nape of the neck was grabbed by the beautiful maid, was taken along to a conflictive mood.
– You’re violent, Angela-san! Who do you think you are!?
Satsuki barked, but AJ had the look in her eyes, feared as a mad dog in her motherland,
– Me? I’m this guy’s pilot. I’ll take responsibility for this guy while he’s in Russia.
She silenced her with a sharp look.
Moroha apologized by pressing the palms and fingers of both hands together to Satsuki and the others as he was dragged away with his nape of the neck still seized.
Then――
– Somehow, I feel like every time Angela-san interferes, I experience something unpleasant.
He grumbled in a half-joking manner while being dragged slowly.
– Is that a trouble?
– Well, it depends on the time and situation…
– Hahaha! Good to know. Then I shall triumphantly report this to my lord once I return to my country. 『I did a great job in causing troubles for Moroha Haimura』. How’s that?
AJ was so cheerful, laughing loudly like that, that he couldn’t hate her.
– Yeah, please convey my words to Edward――
Because of that, Moroha showed a wry smile on his face and replied, putting many thoughts into it.
“My thanks to the best guide there is”.
