Pirate's Freedom

The noise outside the window has completely disappeared, and the campus gradually becomes quiet. As the sun sets little by little into Tokyo Bay, the dusk scene is slowly immersed in the night.

"..."

Yukinoshita, Hiratsuka Shizuo looked at each other for a moment, and then silently turned their gazes away. The increasingly dim and blurry light made it difficult to see her expression at this time, and they could only hear her speaking in a voice with indistinguishable emotions.

"Before that, we should make it clear where these children come from, and why their parents can't take care of them, right?"

The unexpected situation made people excited. Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes were shining. This may be the reason why Yukinoshita looked away.

"Why things turned out like this, I honestly don't know much about it, but..."

Porusalino sighed and pursed his lips at Ira, who was standing quietly by the window with a well-behaved expression.

"I owe her father a big favor."

"The parents of these children are overseas and cannot come to Japan for the time being, so Yukinoshita——"

Hiratsuka Shizu encouraged enthusiastically.

"Why don't you try to learn to take care of others? This is also an important step in growing up."

"But... Mr. Hiratsuka, if something goes wrong..."

With his hands tangled uneasily in front of his chest, Yuigahama, who was listening on the sidelines, suddenly couldn't help but speak out.

"By the time……"

This is what Hikigaya wanted to say but didn't say it.

The attitudes of these two teachers are too strange. What's going on with this comic-like development?In matters like this, shouldn’t the issue of responsibility be a priority?

"Ah, don't worry about this -"

Before Porusalino finished speaking, Hiratsuka Shizuka took over the words first.

"I forgot to tell you, these little guys came here on their own."

She shrugged and said with a smile.

"They are used to traveling abroad together. In terms of survival ability, they are much better than you."

"real or fake?!"

"how is this possible?!"

"The Children's Protection Association will definitely take him to court!"

After receiving the disbelieving expressions from the students, Shizuka Hiratsuka had a look of satisfaction on his face.

Because she had the same reaction when she first heard Porusalino's answer.

"What a surprise."

Seeing their appearance, Nuo Qi snorted.

"You guys, are you looking down on us?"

"Ira, show it to them."

Watching the development of the situation, Nami felt that it must at least get some attention.

"it is good!"

Several people ran past Yukinoshita and stepped on Nami's shoulders. Ira struggled to unzip the luggage bag and rummaged hard for a long time.

In the baffled sight of everyone——

"Ah! Found it! Hey-!"

As Ila's little face turned red and she screamed, a brilliant golden light dazzled everyone's eyes, giving the impression that it even illuminated the entire dark classroom.

At least sixty centimeters high, the golden cup-shaped artwork is covered with dazzling gems of various colors.

After Ira got off her shoulders, Nami and Nokigao held it up together.

"This is Noggio...and my trophy!"

Nami puffed out her chest and declared proudly.

The light of the jewelry filled the room, and Yuigahama and Hikigaya, who were so surprised that they almost lost the ability to think, took a step back in shock.

"Gold...pure gold!"

Hiratsuka Shizu was completely unexpected.

"The really valuable ones are the gems on it. As a whole work of art, it's hard to estimate, but even if it were taken apart and sold, the price would be at least hundreds of millions of yuan."

Although her tone was not calm, Yukinoshita used her discernment to attend a high-class dinner to make a certain judgment.

"Several, hundreds of millions of yuan..."

The two people next to her took a step back again.

"We are the runner-up, and the winner is Karina, but her trophy is too big, so she put it on the boat."

Nami didn't forget to pat the girl on the right's shoulder.

[Too big...how big can it be? 】

Hikigaya didn't know, and Hikigaya didn't dare to ask.

However, a series of words such as [related transactions] and [interest transfer] have already appeared in his mind.

"What kind of competition is it? A few children will be awarded trophies like this. It won't be that kind of..."

Seeing the bright smiling faces of several little girls, Yukinoshita, who had always been outspoken, rarely hesitated to speak.

"I also know..."

"Oh, teacher knows what you are thinking."

Porusalino took over the conversation and spoke nonchalantly and lightly.

"But the teacher testified that it was a dance competition open to the whole world regardless of age groups. Putting aside the two runners-up, in terms of her dancing level and talent, Karina, who won the championship, is undoubtedly world-class. "

"Huh? How do you know?"

Regardless of everything else, Karina was more surprised that the admiral had the time to pay attention to such a trivial matter than the compliment itself.

"Oh yo yo, it's really strange. How on earth did I know..."

Porusalino made a fool of himself.

"Maybe... it's because I also like dancing."

Not only did he have information on the actions of several little girls on Glass Bead Island, but before he left for Zhumeida Island, the life experiences of Nami, Nokigao and Karina had also been investigated. Got a clue.

This is not only the true power of the maritime overlord, but also Porusalino’s personal style of conduct——

He usually looks like he is too lazy to do anything, but when people like him are really ready to take action, they are usually fully prepared.

"World class... sounds so unreal..."

Looking at the few little girls gathered under the raised trophy, Yuigahama murmured while Hikigaya remained silent.

This sudden evaluation is unexpectedly heavy. When people can easily say the word genius because they are at the top of the exam or have some other similar results, the world is still a word that is so far away that it is unimaginable.

It's like someone who lives on TV suddenly appears around you, and even because of the age factor, the impact is even greater.

"Oh, the teacher was also surprised by this, but it seems that Yukinoshita Yukino also has weaknesses...Are you not sure you can live with them?"

After coming back to his senses, Hiratsuka Shizu's tone was malicious, so Yukinoshita took a deep breath, adjusted her breathing and answered.

"...Okay, although I'm not willing to let the teacher succeed like this, I agreed and they can live in my house."

Just now I was worried about the future of these children, but now we are experiencing this reversal.Even in the face of the shocking facts, Yukinoshita still stubbornly emphasized that "I have already seen the teacher's intention", which made Hikigaya on the side feel respectful again.

……

There is a mysterious van parked at the gate of Sobu High School.

"This car...Teacher, when did you call it here?"

Yukinoshita stopped and asked helplessly.

"Of course I was the first to learn about the matter."

Shizuka Hiratsuka answered in a "Come and praise me" tone.

"No matter what, you can't squeeze the electric iron with something like that."

"That's right..."

Hikigaya had consciously wanted to help, but ended up kneeling down completely.

After that, Noqigao refused to interfere with others. The four little girls moved slowly with their luggage bags on their shoulders. The scene was like ants moving a mountain.

Shizuka Hiratsuka opened the trunk door, flattened the chairs in the last row, and finally pushed her luggage bag in. She suggested happily.

"By the way, how about everyone's dinner? Do you want to eat out together? I know a very good ramen shop."

Nami looked at her friends on the left and right, then shook her head on their behalf.

"We just had dinner and we can't eat anymore."

"Ok."

Hiratsuka Shizu's expression was very regretful.

"excuse me, may I ask."

Porusalino suddenly spoke.

"How long have I been gone?"

"What is there to ask?"

Nami was a little surprised, but she still thought about it and answered.

"After we finished eating, Tata Tot asked us to pack our bags...well...it took about half an hour."

"I see... I understand."
