Karin/Wakaba's birthday 2019 - 5

Power of laughter, overflowing with happiness - 5

[Sanshu Middle - hallway]

Kar: Haah... Yuuna and Tougou dismissed it easily, but new orders from the Taisha... What if that was true?

Kar: I could see why Fuu and Mebuki were sneaking around lately if that was the case.

Kar: Fuu is the president of the Hero Club, and the person who made the club on Taisha's orders in the first place.

Kar: And Mebuki is the leader of the Sentinels. If the two of them are doing something in secret together...

Kar: Maybe there's an order from the Taisha directed at Fuu and concerning the Sentinels!

Wak: Still, Fuu-san's confession just now certainly came as a shock.

Anz: Yeah. Just like they asked, we'll warmly watch over them.

Kar: Hey, what's up, you two? You look kind of excited.

Wak: Ah, Karin. You see, Fuu-san and Mebuki...

Tam: Wa-Wakaba! You sure you can just start spreading it right away?

Hin: Heehee, Karin-san is one of our precious friends. It's okay, since it's such a lovely thing.

Kar: Lovely thing? Is that concerning Fuu and Mebuki?

Wak: Yeah. You see, the two of them, unbeknownst to the rest of us...

Kar: *gulp* To the rest of us...?

Wak: Were in a special, illicit relationship.

Kar: Huuh? Oh come on, where'd that random idea come from? Don't make me laugh! Ahaha!

Tam: No, this isn't a joke! We heard it straight from Fuu's mouth.

Anz: And so, Karin-san, let's all warmly watch over where the two of them are heading.

Kar: No, hold on. Are you actually serious?

Kar: It's true, I've been seeing the two of them together often lately. But it didn't look like they were in that kind of relationship.

Kar: Maybe they told you that kind of stupid lie to hide something else?

Wak: Something else? Do you have any ideas as to what?

Kar: For example... They could be hiding a very important secret, and to prevent you from finding out, lied to you.

Hin: She didn't look like she was lying, though.

Anz: That's right! Ah... Karin-san, could it be that you just don't want to face the facts...?

Kar: Don't drag me into your delusions! Of course that's not it! Though...

Kar: I tried putting a theory together. The two of them are actually... *whisper*

Wak: Say what!? New orders from the Taisha?

Kar: We can't be certain about that yet, though.

Tam: But this sounds a whole lot more real than what Anzu came up with!

Anz: Uu... But if it's something that important, what should the rest of us do?

Tam: We should start moving as soon as possible. Should we tail them? Wiretap them?

Kar: Wait. If this theory is correct, I think this will be very important for both the Heroes and the Sentinels.

Wak: In that case, it would be better to ask them straight up, rather than sneak around trying to find something out.

Kar: Yeah. But if it's something important, it would be better to ask in small numbers, not barge in as a huge group.

Hin: Then Wakaba-chan and Karin-san, we'll ask you to handle the questioning.

Hin: I'll call Fuu-san and Mebuki-san to the clubroom tomorrow, so come together.

Wak: Okay, got it.

Kar: Leave it to me.
