Yuki-san's purpose...?

　Lunch break. On the roof of the school building, Soshi Kasai muttered to himself as he looked at the scenery outside.

(So much power, strong friends, unknown background. You're right, there are a lot of questions. Normally, one would suspect that he has a purpose...)

　Soji thinks about it while recalling his conversation with Ryukai the other day.
　Kosuke's identity and purpose, and what he will be in the future.......

''........Well, it doesn't matter. He's not a bad person, right? For now, my priority is to return the favor.

　But Soji's conclusion was soon reached.
　Before he knew it, Soji was in charge of the largest group of delinquents in the school, and he had instinctively developed a talent for distinguishing the good guys from the bad guys. Soji himself is aware of this, so he has no hesitation in judging whether or not he is trustworthy.
　Also, because of his righteous nature of repaying a debt of gratitude, he has no doubts about the future of his relationship with Kosuke.

''Hm? People?

　Suddenly the sound of the rooftop door being opened comes from out of nowhere. Hearing this, Soji hurriedly hides in the shadows.

(Missed! I was thinking about something I didn't want you to hear, so I hid...

　A man and a woman appear on the roof, one of whom Soji doesn't recognize, but the other is someone Soji knows well, Yuki Kosuke.

(Yikes, what shall I do...)

　Sorge completely lost track of the timing of his departure and quietly breathed in the shadows.

I'm sorry to rush you out of here.
No problem. What can I do for you?

　What do we really want? I've seen Hanazono-senpai on TV before, but this is the first time we've met in person. Of course, we've never spoken to each other.

I've heard rumors that Yuki-kun is quite strong, right? I heard that he made Kasai, who was the chief of the guard, his prefect brother, and defeated a big man who was a bear killer with his bare hands.
No, I'm not...

　I don't remember making Sorge a prefect at all, but I do remember taking down a large man who looked stronger than a bear... at least once. I remember I was sentenced to public indecency for dissolving my clothes with my "dissolving" ability.
　Soji is a watchdog?

I see. So how about doing a little bit of work?

　What? Scary. You know, the part-time jobs that are introduced to you after you ask them if they're strong, the ones that are definitely suspicious.

"I decline.
What? Why?
Because it's definitely a dubious part-time job. I'm scared.
'It's not weird at all! Escort! Bodyguard Bite! My mom owns a couple of stores. I wanted to ask you to escort those employees.
Why don't you just hire the right people for your day job?
And all the places seem to be booked up.

　Is it a busy season for bodyguards?

By the way, the pay is pretty good. The hours may vary from day to day, but one hour is a whopping 10,000 yen! How's that?
10,000 an hour?

　It's fishy. Too weird. But ... 10,000 an hour.
　I don't get much time during the week, but I could still work three hours. And you get 30,000 a day. That's a month it's more than enough to cover all the expenses I've incurred so far.

"10,000........10,000 yen per hour....... Hanazono-senpai, I'll do it.
That's what I'm talking about! Also, you can call me Lisa-senpai, out of respect.
Okay, Lisa.

　Hearing my reply, Lisa-senpai happily explained the arrangements to me.

'So, we'll meet at the fuda station after school, right? I'm sure your mother's men will come for you.
I understand. I look forward to working with you.

　For now, you've saved me the trouble of looking for a part-time job. I don't know what kind of job it is, but I'll do my best. If it's a questionable job, I'll run away.
　As I returned to the classroom with that thought in mind, I was met with a barrage of killings and questions. I immediately ran away.

Yuuki-san........with all that power, you're out of money?

　Soji's doubts deepen as he learns of Kosuke's too mysterious financial situation.
