Now that everyone was in the team, they could start killing monsters.
If this was a fantasy RPG setting, then I would be a warrior, Peach-sensei would be a priest, Editor Yoshizawa would be a ranger, and Houjou-senpai would be an assassin … er, a mage.
Seiji thought it was interesting and imagined it.
The scene of everyone wearing the corresponding fantasy clothing and getting into a battle formation … seemed quite interesting!
Forgive him for this senseless lapse of concentration.
Seiji had such an idea because of the appearance of the monsters … whoops, the hitchhikers.
After Mai walked together with them, Mayuzumi tried her best to strike up a conversation with her due to her interest in Mai. Mai responded politely.
The high number of people on the street made it impossible for the four of them to walk side by side, so they naturally formed Mai and Mayuzumi, and Saki and Seiji.
Mayuzumi appeared to be a delicate and elegant beauty, while Mai seemed to be a gentle and beautiful girl, so it was only natural that these two were quickly struck up a conversation.
They were one of the most unwelcome groups of people at the school festival — the seductresses.
Frivolous men who took advantage of this school festival event and formed groups to hit on middle school girls were the type of existence that the school discipline committee and even all the boys at school wanted to eliminate the most. In a way, they were just like the monsters in an RPG game.
"You two, you look familiar. Would you like to come with us?" Monster A sent them a flirtatious glare.
"I'll treat you to coffee, chat, and become friends ~" Monster B sent them a cheeky smile.
"It'll be more fun with more people. Come with us!" Monster C released a domineering aura.
Priest Mayuzumi was affected by the close-range attack and was unable to move.
Magician Mai smiled coldly as she began channeling her ultimate spell.
"Sorry, they're with us." Warrior Seiji came to their aid and used his oppressive smile skill.
"You're blocking the way and are an eyesore. Please move aside." Ranger Saki shot out a sharp arrow with cold words to protect Priest Mayuzumi.
"Er … so you have companions." Monster A was pressured and retreated slightly.
"There's another beauty? That's fine, come with us. It's our treat! "Monster B continued to smile cheekily.
"Hmph, if I leave just because you want me to? Wouldn't that make me lose face?!" Monster C used a powerful counterattack.
"It's your freedom to strike up a conversation, but please forgive me for being blunt …"
Magician Mai finished her channeling and began casting her ultimate spell.
"Your appearances are really too unpresentable!"
"Ugh!?"
Monster ABC received a critical hit.
"The hairstyle is ugly, and the smell of hair gel is so strong! Her clothes were also of low quality, and she didn't match them well at all! His shoes were not wiped clean, his pants were dusty, and his sleeves were stained! It was fine if the makeup on his face was not balanced, but his nose hair was showing! There's even goop at the corners of my eyes!! "
Powerful spells bombarded the battlefield.
"Wuaaah!"
Monster ABC screamed in pain.
"Frivolous, vulgar, dirty … You dare to talk to us with such a standard? Heh heh, if your eyes still function normally, please take a good look at the person beside us. "Mage Mai cast a teleportation spell and transferred the warriors who were in the defensive position to the vanguard.
Warrior Seiji cooperated and used his super handsome smile!
"Wow!" All the monsters were blinded.
"You're not even one-tenth as good as him … No, you can't even compare."
Mage Mai cast her ultimate spell with a condescending expression as if she was looking down on tiny bugs. It was a piercing sight.
'Scram! Trash. '
Seiji felt as if he could hear this insult clearly.
"I'm sorry!!"
Monster ABC was defeated and fled in panic.
'What a beautiful way to kill monsters.' Seiji praised Mai in his mind.
'Cough cough, the above description is exaggerated, please don't take it seriously.'
Similar incidents happened several times in a row.
Every time, it was Saki who protected Mayuzumi, while Seiji and Mai worked together to eliminate anyone who tried to strike up a conversation.
No matter what type of male group they faced, the handsome boy and maid girl easily defeated them. They were ridiculously handsome.
At least, that was how the manga author saw it.
Mayuzumi's inspiration was triggered again, and many ideas appeared in her mind. There were new characters and story plots, and she couldn't stop.
…
Seiji arrived at another activity booth.
The mini-game here was a riddle game. Seiji's riddle was quite simple, and he was able to answer it quickly and receive a stamp.
Saki also received a stamp.
Mayuzumi and Mai were still thinking and discussing.
The editor stood at a position where she wouldn't disturb the other participants and quietly watched her best friend who was happily chatting with the girl next to her.
"Editor Yoshizawa, here you go." A voice spoke up beside her.
It was Seiji.
He went to buy several cans of drinks and handed one to the editor.
"Thank you."
Saki took the can, opened it, and took a sip.
The cool and sweet liquid entered her stomach, making her feel much better.
"Sensei seems to like Houjou-senpai quite a bit," Seiji said after taking a sip of his drink as well.
"Yeah …"
"I feel like Sensei is a rather passive person, but it seems like she has a proactive side as well … is she like this whenever she meets someone or something that interests her?"
Saki blinked upon hearing this.
"You could say that. It's quite rare for her to act like this … it's been a long time since I last saw her like this. "
"Oh …"
Saki took another sip of her drink.
Seiji also took a sip of his drink.
"Editor Yoshizawa, how long have you known Sensei? According to what I've heard, you've been friends since high school. "
"Yep, Mayuzumi and I met in high school, and now … it's been ten years."
"Ten years … ten years of being friends, how wonderful." Seiji smiled.
"Yesterday, when I was chatting with Sensei at the coffee shop, she told me that you're just like an older sister who loves to worry about her, always taking care of her. She's extremely grateful for this, but she also hopes that you won't worry too much, as she doesn't want you to work too hard for her."
"Oh …" Saki's expression softened slightly.
"In Editor Yoshizawa's eyes, what type of person is Sensei? Is she really a girl who always needs to be taken care of? "
"… Not entirely."
Saki looked directly at her best friend.
"For me, Mayuzumi … apart from being someone who needs to be taken care of, the most important thing is …
… someone I need to protect. "
She said this in a very soft voice.
Normal people wouldn't be able to hear it, but Seiji faintly heard it and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Someone you need to protect … what did that mean?
It didn't seem like it was the type of "protection" that came from love — the store owner had already testified that Editor Yoshizawa wasn't a lesbian, and that she didn't have any romantic feelings for Peach-sensei. Seiji himself felt that this was the case as well.
This "protection …" seemed like a "protection" of a mission.
Mission … if that was really the case, why did Editor Yoshizawa feel such a sense of mission toward Peach-sensei?
Seiji was filled with questions.
But this wasn't something he could ask right now, so he decided to pretend that he didn't hear anything.
"What about you, Harano?"
"Eh?"
"Didn't you want to marry Mayuzumi? In your eyes, what type of person is Mayuzumi? "Saki revealed a serious expression.
Seiji was rendered speechless.
