(Chastity Reversed) The Legitimate Wife War: How I, a Harem-Hater, Ended Up Creating an Ultra-Eccentric Harem with a Villainess, a Sadistic Beauty Teacher, a Scheming Classmate... etc.

This reaction…

“So this finished matter isn’t an urgent issue… is it?”

“Yes, if it were finished. But if this isn’t finished, then it would be an urgent matter, wouldn’t it?”

“Hmm.”

“Tachibana Mizuri is being abused by someone, even very recently.”

“How do you know?”

“A school friend of Mizuri’s confirmed it, and I’ve also confirmed fresh wounds myself—ongoing fresh injuries.”

“How concerning.”

How shamelessly you say that.

You probably knew and ignored it.

“We at the NAZ organization guarantee that such things don’t happen externally.”

So you’re saying whoever was tormenting her wasn’t external.

That leaves only one person, necessarily. We have no relatives we’re connected to.

Only people whose ties have been severed.

“Even we at the NAZ organization can’t know about domestic matters. Moreover, since it’s a domestic issue, it could be called discipline.”

“What parent disciplines a high school student with violence?”

“Who knows? I don’t understand, but perhaps there are such circumstances? Unavoidable circumstances.”

From our conversation, I could tell.

This person has no intention of properly helping my sister.

“As expected of bureaucratic work. That’s why deranged groups like Eucharis infiltrate you. Oh, excuse me, that was unrelated… excuse me for continuing, but do you really intend to help? From your statements, it sounds like you’re tolerating it.”

“…How truly rude. I’m also dismayed about this matter. If such things are happening as you say, we’ll properly investigate and work toward resolution. However, since it’s a delicate matter, we’ll need to proceed carefully.”

Worthless excuses.

I almost clicked my tongue.

“Then I will…”

“Ah, you can’t solve anything yourself, you know? You can’t reveal your identity either. You discarded that, didn’t you?”

So you won’t let me do anything.

“We also handle various business matters. However, we promise that we at the NAZ organization can solve this problem without issue.”

So you’re saying you won’t immediately work toward resolution.

You’re implicitly telling me that it depends on my actions—otherwise you wouldn’t phrase it this way.

“…What do you want from me?”

“…Thank you for being quick to understand. Information and accompanying actions.”

“Information… about what?”

“As you know, Takeda Kyo himself, his weaknesses, and we also plan to have you help with certain actions.”

So this was also targeted at Kyo-sama. Or rather, this whole incident might have been orchestrated.

That would clarify the purpose and organization of the person behind the monitor.

“Even so, if it’s domestic matters, you should have some grasp through surveillance cameras, right?”

“That includes actions beyond that scope. There are many things we can’t see, right? Besides, Takeda Kyo trusts you, so it should be simple. What he’s trying to do, things like that.”

I see.

So…

“You want me to betray my master for my sister’s sake.”

“No, you should be pledging loyalty to the NAZ organization, not Takeda Kyo. So ‘betray’ isn’t the right word—you’d just be doing your job.”

Sophistry.

“If I do that, you’ll do something about my sister’s situation?”

“We might be able to make accommodations.”

Typical bureaucratic language.

“Ah, I think it would be best not to consider anything foolish. Only we can save your sister. If others try to help, the situation might worsen—we don’t know how the mother might react… ah, that’s what’s written in the investigation report.”

“…”

How brazenly you say that.

Using roundabout methods.

“So… what will you do? I’m fine either way, but I think it’s better to have less time to think—for your family’s sake.”

You’re trying not to let me think.

Fine, if that’s how you want to play it.

“…What should I do?”

“Really, thank you for being so quick to understand.”

Laughter echoed throughout the room.

“So what should I call you?”

After a moment of silence, she answered:

“Call me [Y].”
