Chapter - 131 ( Operation Cloud )

"I still keep saying we shouldn't do this" - Laura said as she looked at her friends - "The instructor said we shouldn't be out of our rooms after the stipulated time"

"She said we shouldn't, not that we couldn't"- answered Cecilia while the others nodded.

Context?

Cecilia, Tina and Laura were walking towards the room of our blonde protagonist.

"I'm not going to change my mind, this is a very bad idea" - repeated the girl from Germany. She knew very well that Chifuyu's punishments were not games, after all, she did not condone insubordination.

"Kya!" - shouted a girl a little later.

"What was that?!" - Tina exclaimed in surprise, only to see how a girl was unconscious with her whole body covered in pastry cream. But the thing did not end there because they saw how a little later they found a group of 5 girls tied up.

"This proves my feeling"-Laura said seriously as a large amount of sweat began to accumulate on her back.

"I don't think it was Orimura sensei's fault"- Cecilia said seriously as she took a note that was next to the poor victims-"Made in Bunnyland..."

"That sounds like something Tabane-san would write" - Tina said seriously. She, like everyone else in the world, knew about Tabane's strange fetish with rabbits.

"Let's continue"- Cecilia said seriously while her companions looked at each other.

"I thought we'd go with them"-said Charlotte as she looked at her friend and her 'sister'.

"It's not recommended"-Houki replied as she shook her head-"The smile that Onee-chan had, was more than enough proof that she did something...something that will cause a lot of chaos"

"Are you sure?" - asked the girl from France, only to be surprised to hear how a familiar voice was heard shouting in the distance.

"That answers your question?" Houki asked as the blonde nodded.

"So we'll stay here?" Charlotte asked seriously. She felt that she was ready to take the next step and she had thought to use this trip to be able to do it, it also helped that after talking with Houki, she was willing to accompany her.

"No... but we'll wait for the others to clean up the area before moving on"-Houki replied as a small smile appeared on her face.

"I never thought you would be this vile, Houki-san"-Charlotte smiled, although she had to admit that in this way her chances of success would increase considerably.

* * * * *

"Are you sure about this, Chi-chan?" Tabane asked as she looked at her best friend.

"If this way Ichika can stop being so dense and idiotic, then yes"- Chifuyu agreed as she took a little beer.

The two women were in the hotel bar with Maya, who still couldn't believe what she had heard her friend say.

"I'm not the only one who is surprised with the fact that you let that girl from China enter your room to 'spend the night'..." - said Tabane while taking a little beer - "Even an inexperienced girl could realize that she is going for the kill..."

"I know...that's why I allowed it"-replied the black-haired teacher-"Ichika needs to wake up once and for all because I won't always be by his side...not with the orders that I am receiving"

"I keep telling you to ignore these assholes" - the inventor replied as she frowned - "They can't control you like this"

"They can, at least as long as they have Ichika's letter"-the raven-haired woman sighed as she shook her head-"I've been buying time thanks to being an instructor in Germany, but now that I'm back…"

"You can always threaten them to take Ichika and take asylum in another country"-Tabane answered while she shrugged her shoulders-"I'm 100% sure that you just have to make a few promises and they will accept you with open arms"

"I've been thinking about it...but there's a slight problem...well, more than one" Chifuyu answered as she downed her alcoholic drink in one fell swoop-"First, Ichika would be in a bad position..."

"I agree with Chifuyu-san" - Maya said as she calmly drank her beer - "Orimura-kun is one of those people that when he connects with someone, he does it on an almost familiar level... I guess that's also the reason why. His strenght..."

"Hmm…if they leave Japan, the government could use their friends as 'hostages'…" the inventor muttered as she shook her head.

"Exactly, they only have to put them in danger and tell Ichika, so that he flies at full speed to the place where they are, leaving him exposed to a high possibility of capture" - Chifuyu agreed as she looked at the can that was in front of her - "With Ichika in their hands, they have me... that brings us to point two, and that is that we don't know if the country that gives us asylum will not do the same"

"That's why I don't like to associate with other people" - snorted the inventor with disdain - "You give them a hand and they take your foot... it's never enough for those greedy bastards"

"There's also the issue of Phantom Task..." Maya said as her two companions put on a serious expression.

"The information we managed to get was that they were involved in Ikkun's kidnapping years ago" - Tabane murmured seriously - "We still don't understand the reason, but I guess it has to do with the girl who was going to fight Chi-chan in that Mondo Grosso"

"Alicia Jiosestaf, a former Representative from Italy"- Chifuyu muttered as he frowned. From what she had heard, Alicia was someone honorable and competitive, so it was obvious that she was not involved in the kidnapping of her younger brother, although that did not mean that Italy was not, after all, Phantom Task has connections with a lot of nations, that would also explain why Alicia stepped down as Representative after 'Winning' the Second Mondo Grosso.

"Although it is obvious that the reasons for trying to capture Ikkun are very different this time" - added the inventor while Chifuyu and Maya nodded.

"The first man to manage to pilot an IS" - murmured the green-haired teacher - "That identity does more harm than good"

"I'm sorry, Chi-chan"-Tabane sighed as she looked at her friend.

"No... you don't have to apologize" - Brunhilde sighed - "When you called me upon hearing about that situation, you were also surprised..."

"Impossible not to be" - replied the inventor - "I never thought that one of my babies could be piloted by a man, not when their nuclei only react to the lack of the Y chromosome, a problem that I still cannot solve despite all these years..."

"Let's better change the subject... we haven't come to talk about jobs or problems..." - Chifuyu sighed while the other two women nodded - "Let's just enjoy the night..."

*Tititi~ Tititi~!*

"What is that sound, Tabane?" Chifuyu asked as she looked at her friend.

"Hmm… it seems that someone managed to get past my traps and made it to our favorite blonde's room" – Tabane said as she cocked her head in confusion- "Which is a surprise because I never thought someone would make it"

"Do you know who or who they are?" Maya asked as she frowned.

"No... I just put a motion detector on the door because like I said, I never thought anyone would make it to that place" - Tabane replied with a frown - "Whoever it was, either they were very lucky, or just came up with a good plan... maybe she just waited for the others to clear the way for her... Hmm.... now I'm a little curious to know who the winner was and how she did it... I guess she did. I'll ask tomorrow"

"I think I'm going to see my boyfriend" - Maya said seriously. She didn't want some random girl jumping into her man's bed.

"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about Cloud" - Chifuyu replied calmly - "If she's a random girl, then he won't do anything to her, but if she's Charlotte, Cecilia or Houki, I'm not so sure of the result"

"I'm sure it's not Houki, she's too young for those things" - Tabane said with a smile.

"I think you forgot the fact that she was exploring her boyfriend's body" Chifuyu replied sarcastically.

"She was just curious!" Tabane exclaimed as if she were a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Yes... keep repeating it and maybe it will come true" - the raven-haired woman snorted - "Admit it, Tabane... she's growing up and right now she's going through the stage where she wants to be one with the boy who loves her. like..."

Tabane was silent when she heard this as dhe opened a can of beer and took all the contents - "Yes... I know... it's just that I don't want her to leave me behind... you could say that she is the only family I have." I have because my father is an idiot..."

"You still don't forgive him?" Chifuyu asked as she looked at her friend.

"Impossible... he was the one responsible for Houki-chan almost being kidnapped"-snorted the inventor as she frowned-"If it wasn't for him taking her to that damn meeting, Houki wouldn't have been in danger. "

"It was an accident and you know it"-Chifuyu sighed as she shook her head when she saw her friend's expression.
