Ryuto undoubtedly breathed a sigh of relief now that the troublesome two had left.

"Now that guy is alone, what should we do? Should we take action?" Suspicious voices came from a nearby table.

A secretive alliance of four people sat together, whispering, or rather, discussing national affairs.

"Take action? Why should I take action for that idiot brother?"

"Don't be so nervous, I was just asking casually. And I didn't say I want you to take action. Why are you so worked up?"

"Um..."

Now, that person was at a loss for words.

"Besides, we don't know what the other party is up to at this stage. They suddenly left the table, and that's really concerning."

"Hm? Are you concerned?"

Seto Saori seemed to have unintentionally hit a nerve with Toshimori Rinne, causing one person's discomfort to expose another's.

"Oh... how could I... possibly be concerned about that guy?"

"That guy?"

Seto Saori appeared confused.

In this short time, Toshimori Rinne managed to recover from the panic, truly living up to their position as the class leader with superior healing abilities.

"Cough, so what should we do now?"

Pretending to cough, Rinne returned to the topic at hand.

"Right now, it seems Ryuto-sama hasn't encountered any danger."

"But it's still not entirely safe."

Seto Saori clarified the situation.

"Well, yeah, I mean, as of now, they haven't made any major... mistakes."

Toshimori Rinne, as the class leader, agreed.

But for some reason, when they said 'major', they emphasized it intentionally.

After a slight pause, Toshimori Rinne once again revealed the truth.

"But that's only for now. They've made quite a few minor mistakes before. Who knows when they might make a fatal mistake?"

"A fatal mistake? Ryuto-sama?"

It seemed that someone still didn't quite understand. However, the other two inexplicably reacted, as if they triggered some strange switch.

"A fatal..."

Murmuring at the same time, the situation became a bit creepy. It was as if they were under some sort of spell.

And they simultaneously became restless.

"If that idiot brother did something like that, I won't forgive him."

"Yeah, no forgiveness. To think someone beat us to it."

Faced with the opinion of the first person, Seto Saori strongly agreed, but it seemed that something strange got mixed in afterward.

Hopefully, it was just an illusion. Yes, it must be an illusion, probably...

By the way, what exactly is that fatal mistake? Can someone explain it to me, a mere academic underachiever? And while we're at it, can someone explain that minor mistake too?

Facing the two individuals who seemed to be on the verge of flipping the table, Toshimori Rinne calmly spoke up.

"Sorry to interrupt when you two are so worked up."

"We're not worked up."

In response to Toshimori Rinne's statement, both of them denied it simultaneously, appearing quite synchronized.

"Well, let's just go with that. But no matter what, we can't act rashly now. Shouldn't we just observe for the time being at this stage?"

"......"

It seems that others are just silent, it seems that there are no objections.

So the meeting temporarily ended here.

It seems that they were so engrossed in discussing national affairs that they got thirsty. Several people picked up the water cups on the table almost simultaneously, but even while drinking, they still kept a close eye on the target with the corner of their eyes. Of course, this action was not discussed beforehand, it was completely natural and unanimous.

Hmm... Should I say they are professional? Or dedicated? Well, coincidentally, the target is also drinking water.

But because of this, at the next instant when they saw something.

"Pfft..."

Everyone simultaneously spewed out the water that they hadn't swallowed yet, regardless of whether they were the target or observers.
