Hagakure Sakura Does Not Lament

Chapter 138

A Thankful Sermon

Translated by LyraDhani

Edited by LyraDhani

After leaving the hospital and reporting to the government throughout the night, Tsugumi called his friend at the villa to pick up his belongings later and then headed downstairs to the confinement where Bell was.

Perhaps because he had been up all day, he felt really sleepy. He was tired and had been up all night, so in a way, it was probably only natural.

…I guess he will get angry. I know that, but I still feel a bit heavy.

With this in mind, he talked to the manager in the basement and headed to the confinement room where Bell was located. It was like a private room, so he didn’t have to worry about how he spoke.

He took a deep breath and put his hand on the door. As soon as he entered, Bell, sitting in a large chair, opened his mouth.

“–It seems it was quite noisy up there yesterday.”

“Ah, yes, there was a sudden Irregular. I was helping with that for a bit….”

When Tsugumi hesitantly said this, Bell moved his face closer and said with a ferocious smile.

“I see. Let’s talk about that unpleasant contract that surrounds you. What do you say, my contractor?”

Then Bell pinched Tsugumi’s cheek. …He was definitely angry.

“Hey, it hurts, your nails are sticking in!”

“Hm? It seems that the injury on that arm is bigger than such a trivial claw mark, though?”

“I know, I’ll talk properly…!”

When Bell let go of him, he rubbed his cheeks and told him about what had happened today. As expected, Bell became even more enraged.

“Haa? Are you serious? I don’t care if she’s a Goddess or whatever, you’ve got to be kidding me!”

…Well, his anger was justified. The Goddess spat on his property while he was out of sight. It would be weird if he didn’t get angry.

And in this case, Tsugumi was at fault as well. Even if he had no intention of dying, Bell wouldn’t have felt good about him making a contract with another God without his consent.

With a sense of guilt, Tsugumi accepted Bell’s remark with a solemn expression while sitting upright on the floor.

“–You really don’t learn no matter what I say to you. In the first place, there is no need to bow down to any God but me.”

After spewing out a lot of frustration, Bell let out a loud sigh and stretched out his tail to smack Tsugumi in the face. It hurt.

“…It was indeed thoughtless of me to sign the contract on the spot without permission. I’m really sorry.”

“Well, you can say whatever you like. –Freya, I’ll remember her name.”

Bell clicked his tongue loudly as he mentioned the Goddess’s name. …At this rate, it looked like he would go see Freya as soon as his house arrest was lifted. I don’t want him to get suspended again, he thought, his shoulders dropping slightly.

“How dare you put yourself in so much trouble. I’ve been aware of it for a while, but are you really that stupid?”

Bell said in disgust.

“I don’t want this to happen to me either…”

The sin of Shikabane Sakura, his own sister. The relationship with Chidori. The repeated Irregularities and the recent incident with the flower and Freya. None of these issues could be avoided, but they were too heavy for a single person to handle.

“Anyway, don’t do anything rash until I get out of here.. –I’ve got a bad feeling about this.”

“You think so too, Bell-sama? Honestly, I also think the Irregular this time was strange. I don’t know what to say, but I felt someone’s will more than usual. It’s as if we are following some sort of plot.”

–In the first place, was it really a coincidence that he met Hitsugi and his friends at that time?

He accidentally encountered Hitsugi on the sea he ventured out to and was attacked by a Demonic Flower, and his ability to transport was essential to deal with that Demonic Flower. Considering the probability, it was too good to be true.

Normally, Tsugumi would suspect the involvement of Freya, the most suspicious presence in this case, but in the first place, Tsugumi had no reason to mess around with that Goddess.

Then it could be the one who urged him to go to the sea that day, Shiro, who had thrown him into the disaster of the incident–at the thought, Tsugumi shook his head with a wry smile.

“No, as expected, I think too much about this. …For now, I’m going home today. Is there anything you’d like me to bring next time?”

“Bring me something to eat. Anything is fine, as long as it’s in large quantities.”

“I understand. I’ll see you later, Bell-sama.”

With that greeting, Tsugumi left the basement. Just as he was about to head home, he looked down at his outfit.

“…What should I do about these clothes? I hope Chidori isn’t home.”

Haa, he let out a sigh and picked at the edge of his skirt. ..He wondered if he should wash this and return it.

“I am really unlucky this time, with people seeing me like that. I’ll have to complain to Shiro later.”

Even if he put on a lot of hoodies, it was still a swimsuit. He thought to himself that it was good that nobody take a picture of him like this and began to walk away.

–That’s what Tsugumi was thinking, but he had no way of knowing that after this, a staff he knew would make an outrageous request.

One week after the attack of the Demonic Flower, in a certain thread.

Still, this incident is terrifying. Seriously, slipping through the detection system has to be a joke.

Isn’t the recent Irregular’s murderous intent for humans too high??

46: Anonymous

Moreover, that flower seems to be F-class, which is below E in terms of rank. People are a little desensitized because they only see highly ranked Magical Girls, but regular humans can’t even beat that level of Demonic Beasts without weapons.

I knew it, Magical Girls are awesome.

I used to think it was a pain in the ass to evacuate every time there’s an E-class Demonic Beast, but I’ve changed my mind. I don’t want to die yet.

But it’s been a long time since we’ve had an incident where that many people died. It’s funny how everyone is laughing at the government’s response here and there.

Nothing’s funny, scum. People are dying.

But the government could have done a little more. It’s too late to do anything about it. They’re paid with our tax money, so they should work harder.

If we take the dead out of the equation, isn’t it better that it took only half a day to solve the problem?

Compared to the great fire with no known cause, they did a fair job this time.

I don’t want to sound like I’m defending my family, but my brother, who works for the government, had a mental illness because of this case.

I talked to him when I brought him a change of clothes, and he was crying because he was so busy that he couldn’t even take a nap.

I heard that the working environment is also black.

No wonder there are always black rumors.

Complaining about the government is a slippery slope, so do it somewhere else. This is a thread to talk about the cuteness of Hagakure-san.

Huh? She’s not cute, she’s beautiful.

Because Hagakure-san always eats so deliciously.

When I watch her past gluttony videos, I always end up eating between meals.

Come to think of it, there were a few sightings of Hagakure-san here and there in this case. You know, the ones where she wore tight skirts and jumped over the fence.

It was talked about in the previous thread, but is it true that the movement was so flashy that you could see her pants?

All I have left is a blurry photo, but I can confirm that it was black. As for me, it was more shocking that she showed her bare legs.

Hagakure-san never shows her skin, right?

To Hagakure-san’s credit, I’m pretty sure that’s not underwear, but a swimsuit.

My brother, who works for the government, told me that she came to help in her swimsuit when the incident happened. By the way, the shirt and skirt were provided by the government.

No, he would have been fired for doing that in that emergency.

So, by “help,” you mean she came on her own?

She must be a very nice person.

I’ve been thinking about this since the Radon battle, she’s a surprisingly good person.

How did she grow up to have such a perfect personality? I want my sassy little sister to learn from her.

Enough of that trend.

When the incident calmed down, it was discovered that there was a photo of Hagakure Sakura extracted from the surveillance camera footage. Then a staff member who was one of the people in the thread got down on his knees and asked permission from the reluctant Hagakure Sakura, and the photo was uploaded to the thread, creating a festive situation.
