Ministry Action Records

After the host Hikigaya's opening remarks, the curtain opens and it's time for everyone to perform...it's time to speak.

"Well, let me start by telling you. My name is Hikigaya Hachiman. I used to be an ordinary person, but by chance... I traveled to a place called Nippori, where I met Van, who is my mentor. With his help, I became a hunter, killing monsters and leveling up to get equipment along the way, and finally came back here. Now I have established this service club with this classmate Yukinoshita. Occasionally, we do volunteer work together, like helping old ladies cross the street and sometimes we take a part-time job fighting crime. That's all for now." Hikigaya briefly introduced his life.

"You can call me Van. Like Xiao Ba said, I am his mentor. I asked him to summon me to this world for something." Van finished his speech.

"Hachi..." Hikigaya murmured. He had once fought for this title, but it was of no use.

"Hello everyone, I'm Yukinoshita Yukino, hello Van-san, Hikigaya often mentioned you to me." Yukinoshita didn't say much, just a simple greeting. She felt that what happened today had little to do with her, she just happened to be sitting here, but... she was also curious about how things would develop! Fortunately, I didn't go home early today, this wave is not a loss, not a loss. Yukinoshita, who appeared calm on the surface, did not show any joy in her heart.

Van looked at Yukinoshita with the eyes of an old mother, then gave her a thumbs up, but it was unclear whether it was for Yukinoshita or Hikigaya.

"Um, do you know about spacequake?" Shidao Gokawa spoke.

Hikigaya shuddered, remembering the speakers he had blown up, but he quickly calmed down, thinking that no one would notice.

"I know. It feels almost like an earthquake," Hikigaya said calmly.

"Actually, spacequakes are not natural disasters, but spirits that exist in neighboring worlds. When the real world appears in this world, it will cause violent shaking of space and a huge explosion that causes damage. Spacequake is the general term for this situation. Tohka is a spirit."

Except for Origami, everyone else looked at Tohka curiously.

Hearing Shidou mention her name and feeling everyone's gazes, Tohka nodded excitedly.

"There are two different opinions on how to deal with the threat posed by elves. One is to annihilate them by force, and the other is to seal their power and let them live in this world like ordinary people. I have the ability to seal the power of elves." Shidao continued to explain.

"I belong to the AST force, and I'm responsible for annihilating the elves by force." Tobiichi Origami said coldly.

"Oh, everyone's social background is a bit complicated..." Hikigaya complained appropriately.

"When we detected the spacequake, our organization discovered Van's arrival there, so I went to contact Van-san." Shidao said.

"Teacher, so you are an elf?" Hikigaya said to Van.

"I thought elves were the name you call outsiders here. Now that I'm called an elf, I'm probably not an elf," Van replied.

"Then why did you land crookedly when I summoned you..."

"How should I know? You didn't pay attention in class, Xiao Ba."

"So Van-san, you're not an elf?" Shidou asked.

"No, I can feel the power in this little girl's body. It's completely different from mine." Van shook his head and pointed at Tohka.

"Hachi, why do you think Shidou... is my son..." Van's voice became noticeably softer when he mentioned his son.

"Teacher, didn't you say you had an agreement? And then I saw you and Shidou together... quite a family." Hikigaya replied.

Hearing Van's words, Shidou seemed a little disappointed, and thought..., but being able to meet Van-san and get along with him was also worth being happy about. Thinking of this, Shidou cheered up.

"By the way, Shidou, how do you seal the spirits? Draw runes on your belly?" Hikigaya asked curiously.

"Should we extract the power of the elves and seal it in the rice cooker?" Yukinoshita said as she raised her hands and drew a semicircle.

Hearing the two people's questions, Shidou suddenly panicked, "Uh...there's nothing special...it's just a touch under some special circumstances." Shidou felt that this answer was perfect, and he didn't lie, right?

"So, mentor, what exactly is your agreement?" Hearing this, Hikigaya asked the key question.

"That was in the past. I was going to a place, Gunma Prefecture, Akina Mountain." Van said with some nostalgia.

"Gunma Prefecture? It's quite far, right? I'll take you there, Van-san. I have a way to get there faster." Shidou suggested to Van.

The ties with Van, past and present, have not ended yet.

22. Old Friend

"This airship is so old-fashioned." Hikigaya, who boarded the Fraxinus, now identified himself as a genuine countryman.

When Shidou learned that Van wanted to go to Akina Mountain, he proposed a method that could allow Van to reach Akina Mountain quickly. Therefore, except for the two parties involved, the other four people seemed unwilling to leave. Driven by curiosity, Yukinoshita and Hikigaya did not want to miss Van's business, while Tohka and Origami simply wanted to follow Shidou. Finally, the six members of the Servant Club boarded the airship 'Fraxinus'.

"Shidou, so what's going on now?" Looking at the extra people on the airship, Kotori Itsuka, who was sitting in the commander's seat, had no idea what had happened that would cause her brother to board 'Fraxinus' with several unrelated people. Although the matter of elves and airships was not a big secret, it didn't mean that she could tell anyone... Kotori, who couldn't figure it out, had to ask the person involved, her brother Shidou Itsuka.

Shidou felt a little embarrassed for not informing Kotori of his actions in advance, but he still patiently explained what happened to Kotori.

......

"So now you want me to take you to Akina Mountain on 'Fraxinus'?" After listening to Shidao's explanation, Kotori replied expressionlessly.

"Yes, thank you for your help, Kotori." Kotori didn't seem angry. Thinking of this, Shidou showed an innocent smile.

"Do you think 'Fraxinus' is some kind of transportation, you stupid Oni-chan?" Kotori angrily picked up the lollipop in her mouth and wanted to throw it at Shidou, but after thinking about it, she felt reluctant, so she strangely maintained the posture of wanting to throw the lollipop.

"It is essentially a means of transportation..." Shidou shifted his gaze, scratched his head, and smiled awkwardly.

Kotori tried hard to suppress the urge to throw the lollipop she had just put back into her mouth, but a "well" shape had already appeared on her forehead.

"I already understand the situation, so welcome everyone to the airship 'Fraxinus'. I am the commander of this airship, Kotori Itsuka, and also the sister of Shido Itsuka. We are committed to peacefully resolving the problems brought about by the elves." Kotori, who had calmed down, introduced herself and welcomed everyone.

"Pa. Pa. Pa." Seeing that the leader had finished his speech, Hikigaya applauded politely.

"What's wrong? Everyone look at me. Is there something wrong?" Although everyone was looking at him with strange eyes, Hikigaya remained calm.

"Nothing...nothing." Itsuka Kotori sat down with a blushing face. She didn't want to admit that Hikigaya's behavior just now made her feel the majesty of her commander for the first time in a long time...

The next step was for a few people to introduce themselves to other people in 'Fraxinus'. Everyone became familiar with each other and could call each other's names.

"Why are people from AST here too?" Kotori Itsuka glared at Origami, who also followed Shidou, with disdain.

"I'm here to protect Shidou. It's very dangerous to let a spirit follow Shidou." Origami retorted to Kotori coldly, and stared at Tohka at the same time.

"I won't hurt Shidou! You bastard!" Origami's words and gaze made Tohka furious.

"Please everyone get along well and don't quarrel, okay?" Shidou, who was sandwiched between the two, had a bitter expression on his face.

"Would you like some, Yukinoshita?" Hikigaya handed him a bag of potato chips.

"Where did you get these potato chips... and they're sakura flavored..." Yukinoshita took the potato chips and ate a piece. She thought the taste was a bit weird, so she looked at the taste on the potato chips package.

“I always carry a lot of snacks with me.”

"As for why it tastes like cherry blossoms, you know, Yukinoshita, there is a connection between cherry blossoms and Shura Field." Following Hikigaya's line of sight, Yukinoshita also looked in the direction of Origami and Tohka, and tasted the potato chips again. The thin potato chips were rolled into the mouth, filled with the fragrance of flowers, and when they were bitten, a hint of green sweetness could be felt... Indeed... the taste is different...

"Hmm..." Yukinoshita murmured.

"We've arrived at Akina Mountain, you guys are going there." Kotori Itsuka informed everyone.

"Where are you going, Van?" Hikigaya looked at his mentor.

"Can you open the door so I can look down?"

"Uh... okay..." Although Kotori was quite surprised by Van's request, she still did it.

"Let me see where it is. I remember that guy said he was going to open a tofu shop here in the future." Braving the strong wind that rushed in because the hatch was opened, Van overlooked the entire Akina Mountain from the airship, looking for his target.

"Fujiwara Tofu Shop, that should be the one. Xiaoba, it's at the foot of the mountain, do you see it?" Van's extraordinary eyesight allowed him to find his target at high altitude, and he also pointed out the direction to Hikigaya.

"Yeah, I see it." Following the direction Van pointed, Hikigaya also saw the location of the tofu shop.

"Found it? Then I'll find a deserted place and teleport you there." Although Kotori was quite surprised that the two could see the location of a store at such a distance, she didn't care too much. After dropping them off, she had nothing else to do.

"Thank you for your help, Kotori." Van thanked Kotori.

"Van-san, can I go too?" After this incident, Van-san will probably leave... With this thought in mind, Shidou called out to Van.

"Of course, Shidou, it's nothing special."

There were a lot of people below, and Hikigaya was afraid of causing unnecessary panic, so he had to reluctantly give up the idea of ​​jumping directly from 'Fraxinus' and getting close to nature. He honestly chose the normal way to get off the airship. Yukinoshita thought about it and followed Hikigaya. After all, he was not very familiar with the people in 'Fraxinus'.

"Tohka and Origami, just stay here and wait." Kotori looked at Shidou and Van with meaningful eyes.

——————————Dividing line——————————

"Excuse me, does Fujiwara Bunta live here?" Van asked the young man who was washing the car in front of the tofu shop. Looking at the familiar AE86, Van knew that he had come to the right place.

"Are you looking for my dad? I'm Fujiwara Takumi, and my dad is inside the store." Takumi, who was washing the car, turned around and saw Van and his group of four. After learning that they were looking for his father, he told them the location and briefly introduced himself.

"Okay, we can go in and find him ourselves. We won't bother you." Van looked at Mrs. Wen's son. The way this kid looked at 86 was the same as the way his father looked at him back then. You could tell at a glance that they were his biological son.

"Wun Tai!" Van shouted when he saw the uncle sitting on the ground smoking and watching TV.

Hearing the familiar voice, Wen Tai was a little bit unbelievable. He held the cigarette in his hand and turned around with his mouth open. It was actually that bastard Van. Over the years, he would think of the days of racing with him from time to time. Now he suddenly appeared and he didn't know what to say.

"You idiot...you really haven't changed at all..."

"You are so old and wrinkled, Bunta. Even your son is this old now."

The two people who hadn't seen each other for many years started to insult each other as soon as they met.

"Please sit down. I'll make you some tea. Pu'er or Tieguanyin."

"That's all, Wen Tai." Van replied, waving his hands.

Wen Tai stood up from the ground, got the tea set, and poured a cup of hot tea for all four of them.

"Your children?" Wen Tai glanced at Shidao and the other two and asked Van.

"No, no, just friends." Van smiled.

"Friend?! How old are you, boss? You're still making friends with high school students. Don't you think you're ugly?" Hearing Van's words, Wen Tai mocked him mercilessly.

“Haha, I think I’m still pretty young.”

"cut..."

“I didn’t have a choice before, now I want to be a good person.

Okay, tell the judge and see if he lets you be a good person.

That means I will die.

Sorry, I'm a police officer.

Who knows. ”

"Wenta, after you stop racing, are you going to film a movie?" Van asked while watching the movie on TV.

"No, I opened a tofu shop here, why would I want to film a movie here?" Wen Tai was confused by Van's words.

"Why does the guy who fell from the building into the car in the movie just now look so much like you..."
