After being tormented by Agnes Tachyon for a whole night, the next day, a haggard-looking Chiya arrived at the office.
My back hurts...
And he had a stiff neck from sleeping.
It never rains but it pours.
And yesterday, because of her interruption, he hadn't even finished the training plan. He had to rush it out in the morning.
With a yawn, he stretched and got back to work.
Meanwhile, after class, Shirayuki was about to go buy a can of coffee to wake herself up. If he wasn't in good condition, neither was she.
On her way, she ran into Air Groove in the hallway again.
"Air Groove-senpai."
"Shirayuki." The other girl greeted her, and they exchanged a few pleasantries.
"By the way, how's it going with the recruitment form?"
She was quite curious about her progress.
Shirayuki's expression stiffened.
"So far, I've completed... three."
Mejiro Dober, TM Opera O, and Agnes Tachyon.
That's right. After last night's ordeal, Tachyon had finally signed the form for him. This was probably the only good deed she had done in her career of mischief.
"Three, huh," Air Groove's ears twitched. "The progress isn't that slow."
It had been ten days since she had given her the form. At this rate, she should be able to find twenty people by next month.
"As it happens, Shirayuki, I have a job for you here. If you can help me, I can also fill it out for you."
"Really?! What kind of job?"
"There's a disobedient student causing trouble all over the school. I want you to catch her and send her to the Disciplinary Committee room."
With that, she took out a photo of the girl.
It was a little girl with short brown hair and a white streak on her forehead. She looked mischievous, making a funny face at the camera.
Below it was her name: Shinko Windy.
"Just get her to the Disciplinary Committee room, and I'll help you fill out the recruitment form. One recommendation from me is worth three from others. What do you think, Shirayuki-san? Can you accept?"
"I can! Of course I can!"
Just catching someone? That's too easy!
She used to be the best at tag.
"Leave her to me!" she said, patting her chest with confidence.
Soon, she would pay the price for her foolishness.
"Hahaha! You think you can catch the great Shinko Windy—!"
A mocking voice suddenly came from upstairs. Looking up, she saw the face of a little brat.
She was making a funny face and sticking her tongue out at her.
"You little brat, don't let me catch you! If I do, you're in for it!"
At this point, she was getting a little worked up. This little Horse Girl was jumping around like a monkey. When she had finally cornered her, she had just opened a window and climbed up the drainpipe, making her feel like she was watching a spy movie.
She thought she had seen it all after a year at Tracen, but there were always a few who managed to break her understanding of reality. Whether it was Gold Ship, Tachyon, or this Shinko Windy, she couldn't understand their thought processes at all.
The existence of these Horse Girls seemed to be challenging her understanding of the species.
"How scary! But not as scary as me—!"
She laughed a few times, then stuck out her butt and patted it at her twice.
"I'll spank your butt into eight pieces!"
She charged upstairs after her. The moment she reached the top, the other girl dodged into a classroom on the side, and she, unable to stop in time, crashed into someone.
The petite body was knocked to the ground under her.
"Uwaa~"
The other person let out a cry of pain.
"I'm sorry!"
She hastily scrambled up.
Taking a closer look, she found that the one she had knocked over was actually Rice Shower.
"Rice Shower?!"
"Shirayuki-san."
"Are you okay?" she asked, frantically checking her head.
"I'm fine. What are you doing here?"
"I'm chasing someone."
"Chasing someone?"
"That's right. A problem child."
"Haha~ Is that all? Is that all you've got, Shirayuki?! You'll need to train for a few million more years to catch little Shinko!"
She stood on the teacher's desk in the classroom, speaking triumphantly.
This girl is too arrogant!
Shirayuki patted Rice Shower's head. "I'm sorry, Rice Shower. I have to deal with this first. I'll come find you later!"
With that, she chased after the other girl. Shinko Windy ran out by stepping on the desks, causing chaos in the entire classroom.
Standing outside the door, Rice Shower blankly touched her head.
The words she had just said, and the way she had patted her head...
Why was it so much like her... Onii-sama?
"Don't run, you brat!"
"Wakaka! Pathetic, pathetic—!"
A tense chase was unfolding in the hallway. In front of the teachers' office, an instructor was scolding a Horse Girl.
"Tachyon, if you don't start attending training, you won't be eligible to sign up for races."
"Yes."
"It's not as simple as 'yes'! You've skipped training six times already. If this continues, it's going to be a problem!"
Hearing the instructor's nagging, Tachyon looked out the window with boredom.
She was still thinking about her experiments and had been called out in the middle of them.
What a waste of time.
Just as she was about to lose her patience, two figures, one brown and one white, ran past, startling the instructor.
"What are you doing?! This is a hallway! Don't run so fast!"
Distracted by them, she forgot what she was going to say next.
"Alright, I understand. I'll think about training," Tachyon said, waving her hand and turning to walk in the direction Shirayuki had gone.
"Tachyon, I'm not finished!"
"It's just that it will be troublesome if I don't participate in training, right? A simple summary will do."
With that, she left without looking back.
The instructor behind her sighed helplessly.
I really don't want to deal with these problem children...
But if no trainer wanted them, they would just be piled onto the instructors.
When would Tracen give them compensation for their work injuries?
With that unrealistic thought, the instructor returned to her office.
After an unknown amount of time, an exhausted Shirayuki sat on a bench in the school's backyard.
I can't go on...
Chasing Shinko Windy was not only a physical task, but it also required a strong tolerance for jump scares. The girl would often duck into a storage room and then suddenly pop out of a box to surprise her.
Under the dual torment of body and mind, she had finally burned out.
No wonder the student council had to find someone to catch her. Even the Disciplinary Committee was helpless against her. This girl was like a prank toy come to life, always thinking of various ways to scare you.
Opening a bottle of water she had just bought from a vending machine, she took a few big gulps. Just as she was about to rest and think of a way to call for backup...
"Gaa~ ow!"
Suddenly hearing a strange cry, she felt a pain in her arm. Turning her head, she saw Shinko Windy with her mouth open, biting her like a dog... no, like a wolf.
Her mouth was small, but her teeth were very sharp. Just looking at them was enough to dissuade any impure thoughts.
"Shinko Windy!"
"Wahahaha!" she let out the same laugh as Tokai Teio. "You've become a victim of little Shinko today."
"How dare you appear in front of me so brazenly..."
"That's right! A villain enjoys toying with their prey," she said, her hands on her hips proudly. "What I want to see is that angry but helpless expression of yours!"
"You damn little brat!"
"Call me Lord Shinko—!"
At this moment, Shirayuki noticed that she was holding two bottles of water.
"Hey, isn't that..."
"Huh? This... Hmph, Shinko Windy would never help her prey recover energy! This is all mine!"
With that, she took out a mask from her pocket and put it on.
"A hero of justice may shine, but the one who gets the most attention is the villain who brings equal destruction to the whole world!" she laughed. "Shirayuki, in consideration of your efforts in chasing me, I've prepared a surprise for you."
"Huh?"
"Oh my, you're the first one to chase me for so long. I've placed a gift for you in the middle of the vegetable garden in the backyard. If you want it, go get it!"
With that, Shinko Windy ran off. Five minutes later, Shirayuki threw away the empty bottle.
A surprise? What is it?
It's not a prank, is it?
Oh well, better be safe. I'll take a look from a distance.
With that thought, she stood up and walked to the vegetable garden. Sure enough, she saw something shining in the middle.
There really is something?
But she couldn't see it clearly.
Just as she was about to get a little closer...
Plop!
The ground beneath her gave way, and she fell straight into a large pit.
"This is the gift I prepared for you, Shirayuki!"
Shinko Windy popped out from the side.
"You're not hurt, are you? Good! Then goodbye, Shirayuki! Try to catch up to me someday!"
She ran off, laughing loudly.
Furious, Shirayuki climbed out of the pit.
These damn problem children! Sooner or later, I'll fix all of you!
