"I've had enough sleep today, I'll go to work now~" Miki got up and left the wooden house.
Shesi, lying on the bed, felt relieved but also a little disappointed upon hearing this.
Meanwhile, Miki, who had exited the wooden house, looked towards Hida, who was waiting, somewhat at a loss.
"Did I… should I not have come…" Hida said shyly, recalling the scene from just now in her mind; that… it seemed like she could try it on her younger brother.
Miki sighed.
"Never mind, shall we go to work? Where are you up to?"
Hida handed Miki the completed collected data.
"These are everyone's schedules and dietary restrictions."
"Hmm, it seems I need to help organize the data," Miki immediately got into gear as she looked at the documents in her hand. Training wasn't just simple fighting. Ever since she decided to become Shesi's SD, Miki had started to deal with various documents, and occasionally consulted Opera-san. Although Opera-san would look at her with a slight hint of hostility, she still taught Miki everything… "Chaos…"
"This one doesn't eat cilantro, that one doesn't eat beef, and what's a beef noodle soup without the noodles?"
Although everyone's dietary restrictions were bizarre, Miki and Hida quickly completed the task with their efforts.
On the day of the party,
The two looked at the empty entrance of [Fist Demon Dance]… "This should be it, right?"
Hida looked at Miki, and Miki nodded.
"But… the lights aren't on. The other Teachers should have arrived by now. Did I come too early? No, that's not right? Could it be… I got the date wrong…!?" Hida pulled out her notepad and found that she hadn't made a mistake.
"Shall we go in and take a look first?" Miki suggested.
The moment the two opened the door, the lights instantly turned on, and then, with a few small confetti cannons, confetti shot out and landed on their heads.
"Teacher Hida, Teacher Miki, welcome to Babyls!"
Both of them were startled, and Miki even prepared to attack. If she hadn't sensed any malice, Miki would have already attacked.
"Big surprise! Teacher Miki and Teacher Dali, come in quickly!" Robin pulled their hands, dragging them inside.
"Oh, this is actually a tradition of Babyls," Teacher Dali came out and introduced to the two.
"Tradition?" x2
"Today's party is actually a welcome party for Teacher Miki and Teacher Hida."
"A welcome party that you organize yourself—only demons would do something like that."
"We had to keep it a secret until the day itself."
"Everyone making all sorts of strange requests is also part of the tradition."
"I hope you didn't hate it…" Teacher Momo awkwardly scratched his head. Originally, the request for beef noodle soup without noodles didn't exist. He wouldn't have made such an excessive request if he hadn't lost a bet with Teacher Dali.
Miki and Hida were still dazed.
"Quick, it's time for our protagonists to take their seats."
Teacher Dali pushed the two to the main seats to sit down.
"Then! Let's once again! Celebrate Babyls gaining two new Teachers!"
Then the other Teachers echoed,
"Thank you, team leaders, for your hard work!" x6
Upon hearing this, both of them smiled.
"From now on, as fellow members guarding Babyls, please take care of us!"
Hida and Miki exchanged glances, then
"Cheers!"
Hida and Miki successfully completed an important mission.
...Dali looked at Teacher Momo, Teacher Machi, and Teacher Idra.
"Thank you, support team for the team leaders, for your hard work~"
It turned out that when Hida and Miki were asking others for information, the three had been secretly following behind, helping them.
"You all must be exhausted. It also made me recall when I was a newcomer," Dali looked at Miki and Hida, who were currently receiving toasts from several people.
"The newcomer welcome party was originally created to help newcomers quickly get to know and familiarize themselves with the other Teachers. What each Teacher likes and dislikes, when they are busy during work hours, when they rest—this event is meant to deepen mutual understanding and foster relationships. Furthermore, in terms of helping Teacher Hida and Teacher Miki relax their guard, this event played a very suitable role," Dali said, looking at Teacher Momo, the mental health Teacher.
Momo scratched his head awkwardly upon hearing this, "Was I found out?"
"Did I… meddle too much?"
Dali heard this and said,
"No, it's good. Because you can see into others' hearts better than any other demon, you worry about other demons and coordinate between them. These are rare qualities among demons. For Babyls, we must have a demon like you!"
At this moment, Hida and Miki walked over.
"Teacher Momo, Teacher Impos, Teacher Machi, thank you for your suggestions regarding the party. We are truly grateful."
Upon hearing this, tears almost came to the three demons' eyes. Suddenly, a strange emotion welled up in their hearts. Was this…? Maternal love?
"It's like a child succeeding in their first errand and their parents," Dali chuckled.
The three also immediately raised their glasses.
"Cheers!"
At this moment, a figure appeared behind everyone.
"Oh~ a welcome party for newcomers~ and no one invited me~" Opera stood coldly behind everyone, speaking with a sarcastic tone.
"No, no, no! How should I put this, Opera-san cannot be considered a newcomer… No, how could we treat Opera-san as a newcomer?!"
Time rewound to when Hida went to ask everyone for their schedules, in the botanical garden.
"As expected of Teacher Suki, she subtly offered suggestions while making her request."
"Huh? Isn't… isn't someone missing?"
"Huh? Where's Teacher Miki?"
"Oh no, Teacher Hida has gone to find the next person!"
"Let's follow quickly."
"Teacher Momonoki can also communicate harmoniously. There are fewer female staff, so they probably rely on them more?"
"The atmosphere when talking to us is a bit different. How should I put it… when talking to men, her gaze always feels like it doesn't quite meet ours…"
"Although she replies, she has never initiated a conversation with us."
"Huh?" Teacher Momo was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and decided not to mention how close Teacher Hida was with Iruma.
"!!! Oh no, the final boss has appeared!" Teacher Idra pointed at Kalego, who had appeared, and said.
"Level Three Alert!!!"
"No, no, if we talk directly to Kalego, we'll definitely faint!"
"Quick! We'll go first!" The three said, then rushed directly in front of Teacher Hida and started talking. After Kalego was tricked into the data room, the three finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then Teacher Machi quickly found Teacher Robin from outside and also put Teacher Robin into the data room.
"With Teacher Robin, it should be fine."
After seeing Teacher Hida collect all the Teachers' information, the three finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then they saw Teacher Hida looking a bit troubled by the collected documents. Several people asked if they should go up and help a little, and then they saw Teacher Miki walk over and start helping to process the documents.
