Editing Toaru Majutsu no Index:Item3 Chapter2 (section)

===Part 10===

Mugino called the support team and had them clean up the bodies and bloodstains left around the gazebo.

“Ehh? In the end, you should’ve called me to join you if all that was going on.”

“Isn’t it a bad sign that the media was super sniffing around?”

Frenda and Kinuhata weren’t happy about being excluded.

“You seem to be acting like this over,” said the voice on the phone. “But weren’t there supposed to be three of them?”

“Hey. The last one was a drone operator, right? If they’ve vanished, they’ll probably start attacking us remotely, so where the hell did they get off to!?”

“''He’s right here.''”

Mugino was answered by someone to the side.

This was clearly an outsider.

A large object was tossed over. It was the upper half of a boy, which hit the top of the gazebo table and fell down to the ground, splattering red and black stains across the scene the support team had just worked so hard to clean.

Mugino glared over at whoever had done this and then froze.

This was unusual for her.

“''What...are you doing here?''”

“Grr.”

The low bestial growl sounded like a stray dog, but that was no dog. The partner accompanying the newcomer was a supposedly-extinct Japanese wolf.

“(Super what do you think about that?)”

“(You aren’t going to find a mysterious animal in this city of steel and concrete. In the end, it’s better to assume a stray dog’s DNA was messed with to force some atavism.)”

This person could toy with technology to that level.

They were undoubtedly part of the dark side.

The Japanese wolf’s master was a girl with long black hair. She looked to be high school age. Her busty body was contained by a white and blue short-sleeve sailor uniform with a pleated miniskirt. That was likely the uniform to some school or another. On her feet and legs, she wore white boots, special sock garters attached below the knee, and short black stockings. Above it all, she wore a thin coat and a hunting cap.

While it had cooled down a lot, it was still only late August. The inside of her coat had to be filled with electric cooling products and tools that violated anti-weapon laws.

“Mugino. Do you know her?” calmly asked Takitsubo.

The track suit girl may have been asking if this girl provided a service on the dark side, like an unlicensed doctor or a weapons dealer.

But looking back at Frenda and Kinuhata’s earlier conversation, there was another possibility.

Even if it was only to avoid having their records stand out, the Item girls were all enrolled in a school somewhere.

So…

“Shiratori Okibi. ''But you’re supposed to be the Class Rep at my ordinary school''!?”

And in response, the girl accompanied by a Japanese wolf laughed.

Shiratori Okibi.

She was indeed the Class Rep with excellent grades.

“I am a detective.”

That was another stereotypical identifier.

It was another name for the justice that opposed all villains.

“And I’m also the loser who had her target – the Frees – stolen right before her eyes☆”
