Editing Masou Gakuen HxH:Volume 8 Chapter 1 (section)

===Part 4===

Kizuna came out to the courtyard and looked for the other team members. He could see the members of Masters and Vatlantis sporadically at the bench in the courtyard’s side or under the tree. He guessed it was because there was still time until the meeting time. There were still not many team members gathering here.

“What’s up Kizuna? Looking around restlessly like that.”

Gravel’s voice came from behind Kizuna.

“Nothing really. I’m just thinking of what to do to kill time until the training starts.”

“Indeed……it seems there is about thirty minutes until we start.”

“Eh!? Seriously?”

“What, didn’t you see the mail?”

He took out from his pocket the mobile phone that doubled as the student handbook and checked his mail. There, certainly the notification of the starting time’s change was sent there.

“There is still quite some time huh. Even just standing around in a daze here is……”

Gravel looked to the side with slightly blushing cheeks.

“The, then, how about it? Wa, want to go drinking tea? Aaa, don’t misunderstand even if I said that okay! It’s only at the café inside the school! It’s only, for killing time. I only mean that!”

He felt uncomfortable from Gravel who was acting really unsettled, but there was also really no reason to refuse. Kizuna nodded in quick agreement.

“Then, let’s go.”

Gravel nodded happily. However her smiling face that was like a blooming flower suddenly became grave.

“What’s the matter?”

When Kizuna chased after Gravel’s line of sight, there was a storehouse there adjacent with the school building. The figure of a girl with green hair disappeared towards the narrow path between the buildings. And then they also noticed how that girl was surrounded by several male students at her front and back.

Gravel murmured as if spitting out.

“Aldea……that girl, again with this!”

Gravel started running after clicking her tongue. Kizuna too immediately chased behind her.

“That’s your friend right? Somehow the atmosphere seemed dangerous there!”

“Yeah! That girl causes trouble half playing around. It will be dangerous if I don’t hurry! Kizuna just wait here for me. I don’t feel like involving――”

“Aah, let’s hurry. It will be too late if something happened to your friend!”

For a moment Gravel was taken by surprise, but she soon smiled.

“……Got it. However, Kizuna. The one in danger here are the male students.”

“What?”
