Chapter 105. Onii-chan! Kill That Girl Immediately!

“I’m coming in.”

“Kohou-senpai’s stage ended safely until the audience cleared out…”

“Oh, Suo-senpai, Marin-chan. Thank you for your hard work.”

Suo-senpai and Marin-chan, having returned to the student council room after a big job, enter and are left speechless.

Of course, they’d be surprised to find unfamiliar girls, let alone several of them, all naked and with the same face, in the student council room.

This reaction was expected.

But from here, the Suo siblings display movements that even I didn’t anticipate.

“Onii-chan! Kill that girl immediately!”

Marin-chan, who is usually composed and unafraid of us older ones or adults, is unusually emotional and makes a dangerous request of her brother, almost shouting.

In an instant.

Suo-senpai instantly takes a ready stance with his sword.

“What is this, Kamiya?”

With a cold, sharp gaze, Suo-senpai keeps his eyes on the prey, Misuzu, while questioning me.

“Well, that’s my line, Suo-senpai. Even if you’re a sis-con, you’re too quick to obey your sister’s orders.”

I deploy a barrier spell with my musket, surrounding Suo-senpai in a dome-shaped area that includes the sky, visually trapping him.

“Kamiya-senpai, I’ll explain the reason later, so for now, let’s just kill that girl!”

“Marin-chan, calm down. That expression doesn’t suit you.”

Marin-chan has no combat abilities, so she’s not a direct threat, but her expression is incredibly harsh and frightening.

“Misuzu has requested asylum, so according to military law, it’s not permissible to harm her.”

“I will crush such objections however I like!”

“Don’t say such dirty things in front of Onii-chan, Marin-chan.”

Marin-chan is startled by my words.

She probably remembered that we’re keeping the fact that we’re special forces a secret from her brother.

However, judging by Marin-chan’s immediate reaction to her earlier words, Suo-senpai likely…

“Misuzu, I understand your soul armor ability, so please release these.”

“Understood.”

This ability.

It seems she cannot copy clothing, so she’s naked.

In that sense, it’s clear that the original is the one wearing clothes, which is helpful, but it makes it quite difficult to know where to look.

“Well then, Misuzu… though I tend to treat you like a child because of your appearance. Sorry.”

“That’s fine. I’m used to being treated as a child, and my rank is below Major General Kamiya.”

“What’s your rank in the Eastern Alliance?”

“I’m a Special Colonel, Major General Kamiya.”

“Given your rank at such a young age, you must not just be a soul armor user…”

“You have keen insight.”

“Marin-chan seemed to know something, didn’t she?”

I ask Marin-chan with a slightly malicious look.

“W-well…”

Marin-chan visibly panics.

“You ignored my orders as a Major General earlier. There must be a corresponding reason for that action, right? Suo Marin, Major?”

Suo-senpai’s eyebrow twitches.

“W-what are you saying, Major General Kamiya? I-I was just a private until recently.”

Marin-chan tries to feign ignorance at this point, but her voice cracks with her anxiety.

Though Marin-chan is feared by the military top brass for her ability to uncover and slice up others' secrets, she seems emotionally shaken when her own secrets are revealed by her brother.

“You’ve already been found out by Onii-chan.”

“That’s not true!”

“No, Marin. Kamiya is right.”

“Huh?! Onii-chan…”

Marin-chan is left speechless by her brother’s words.

“I’ve known for a long time that Marin is doing important work in the military.”

“Known? How… how much do you know, Onii-chan…”

Marin-chan shakes and stumbles over her words, asking her brother with a panicked tone.

“I don’t know the details. But I understand that Marin must be shouldering a heavy responsibility behind the scenes, beyond my imagination. And that she can’t tell me about it.”

“Onii-chan…”

Marin-chan shows a reaction of half-surprise and half-joy at how well her brother understands her.

Suo-senpai is quite perceptive.

He figured out my rank relatively quickly.

“I won’t try to uncover Marin’s secrets. I just trust her. If it’s with Marin, I’ll even fall into hell with her. Because I’m her brother.”

“Ugh~~, so touching…”

“Marin?! Are you okay?!”

Overwhelmed by the emotional rollercoaster of fear from being discovered and happiness from being cherished by her brother, Marin-chan faints, and Suo-senpai hurriedly catches her.

It’s kind of like how Espio’s inner self also had a similar reaction when meeting me for the first time.

It seems even masters share similarities.

“Um… this…”

“Oh, sorry, Misuzu-chan. We’ve made you watch this sis-con and bro-con drama for so long.”

“No, it’s just… Japan is so peaceful.”

“Well, it might be…”

Misuzu is from the Eastern Alliance, which is in a dangerous situation.

Compared to that, our school life must seem very carefree.

“Well then, Marin-chan, who seemed to know something, is in that condition…”

I glance at Marin-chan, who is being cared for by her brother on the student council room’s sofa.

“I don’t like dragging out the investigation, so I’ll be straightforward. Misuzu-chan.”

“What a coincidence. I feel the same way.”

“I’m glad to hear that. So, I’ll ask.”

I calmly question Misuzu-chan while looking into her eyes.

“How many people have I killed?”

In response to my question, which doesn’t normally make sense in Japanese, Misuzu replies clearly,

“Several hundred.”
