Looking at her displeased young lady, Shinhisa Hisako sighed.
Since seeing those two being picked up by Senzaemon that morning, Erina had followed them all the way to the mountain.
She wanted to go inside to see what was happening, but the bodyguards at the door said that Senzaemon had given instructions in advance that no one was allowed to enter.
When the meeting ended, she ran to ask her grandfather what he wanted with those two, but her grandfather wouldn't say anything, and even told her not to concern herself with them, saying that they were now teachers at the school.
Erina felt that her grandfather might have been deceived. Totsuki Academy had always employed teachers who were at least world-renowned star chefs or outstanding educators. How could he suddenly appoint two people she had never even heard of before?
Moreover, those two didn't look much older than their students.
But no matter what Erina said, Senzaemon wouldn't listen, and even adopted a stern attitude to lecture her.
This made Nakiri Erina feel even more wronged; it was like directly empathizing with children whose elderly parents had been scammed into buying health products.
This rotten trend of health products actually originated in Japan. It was in the early 2000s that Japan began promoting things like negative ions and various health technologies, cleverly exploiting legal loopholes to heavily fleece the elderly of their money through magnetic therapy devices and health foods.
Because at that time, Japan's golden generation was just retiring. They were super beneficiaries of the seniority system, earning more pension money for every day they lived, and they had a strange trust in these peculiar technologies. Of course, the main reason was that their children were too busy with work to accompany them, so they were easily fooled.
Erina was in that kind of mood, wanting to pull the deceived elder to see reality, but instead getting reprimanded, and she had been standing there fuming for half an hour.
Seeing the two leave, she immediately frowned and called to Shazi.
"Let's go, Shazi, call a car. We're going to see what's going on.
If these two are the kind of people who abuse their positions in the school, we must stop them and make grandfather see clearly."
"Um… Erina, Miss, didn't the Headmaster instruct you to attend more activities these days? Perhaps you should go to bed early."
The secretary looked left and right, appearing a bit troubled.
"I told you, when no one else is around, don't call me 'Miss'! And Shazi, are you not listening to me anymore?"
Nakiri Erina turned and pinched the little secretary's chin. Shazi, in essence, was no different from the heavyweight Sadatsuka Nao. Seeing her great young lady's face staring directly at her, she instantly got spiral eyes.
"Y-yes, Erina… Master… I'll go do it right away."
... ...
On the other side, Keli and Kazuma rode their small mobility scooters all the way closer.
However, before arriving, the two noticed something unusual, because as soon as they got near that dormitory, they saw a figure frantically running into the dormitory.
"They even set up a sentry post."
Kazuma frowned, and the two rode their small scooters directly to the door.
Keli looked at the small sign in front of the dorm door, which read "Heshang Dorm."
Kazuma went up and knocked on the door.
"Coming, coming, what is it?"
A response came from inside the room, and soon an old woman opened the door a crack, looking at Keli and Kazuma somewhat warily.
"Students, may I ask if there's anything you need?"
If it weren't for the fact that both of them had just seen the figure frantically running into the dormitory, they would probably have truly believed this was a normal reaction to unexpected visitors.
The other party seemed to be the dorm manager. Although her words were polite, her tone carried a hint of questioning.
Keli pointed to his badge.
"Routine inspection to see if any dorms have prohibited items."
Keli didn't care if there was such a routine; he just blurted out "routine" first.
The old woman carefully looked at Keli's badge, then seemed to hesitate.
"Um, I haven't heard the school say anything about an inspection recently."
Hearing her words, Kazuma was displeased.
"If we notify in advance, can it still be called an inspection? Look at you, as our academy's dorm manager, how can you make such a formalistic mistake?
We are an elite school; what we want is for students to always maintain their best condition. Your attitude makes us very worried whether the students living here will also be affected by negative influences.
Even if such students graduate, can they lead the big picture in the kitchen?"
The dorm manager aunt never expected that at her age, she would be lectured like this by a kid who looked about the same age as a student. Her face immediately fell.
But a fallen face was useless. The other party was unlikely to be faking it, and she didn't know what they were doing. Totsuki Academy had always had a senior student or a senior female student in the dorms cooperating with the management aunt to supervise the interior; it was rare for a teacher to suddenly come for an inspection.
"Fine! Fine! Fine! If you want to inspect, then inspect. I think it's you two who are making a fuss, the dorms are perfectly fine, and you're still doing all this. Do you not trust us?"
The dorm manager aunt spoke slowly, as if intentionally letting the people inside hear her, and then a series of footsteps came from within.
Under Keli and Kazuma's gaze, the dorm manager slowly opened the door and led them inside.
"Come, this is our living room, we all are here… Wait, what are you doing?"
The aunt started rambling as she walked towards the living room, but Keli and Kazuma completely ignored her.
They immediately began rummaging through the cabinets at the entrance.
"Doing what? Inspecting, of course."
Kazuma didn't even lift his head, opening all the cabinets and scanning them one by one.
"Wait! This isn't how you inspect!"
"Shut up! Our school's authority is limitless!"
Keli and Kazuma left no corner untouched, searching everywhere for things.
Seeing this scene, like bandits entering a home, the dorm manager's eyebrows twitched constantly.
"No, no, how can you be like this? If you rummage through the private belongings of female students or mine, you will be held responsible!"
The dorm manager originally wanted to stop Keli and Kazuma with this sentence, but the two had no intention of listening to her.
Not to mention Keli, even Kazuma no longer considered himself a law-abiding citizen.
Seeing that there seemed to be nothing in the entrance, they didn't ask anyone, and knocked on the door of the first dorm room.
"You have 30 seconds. If there are any female students, put on your clothes and come out to stand in a line."
The dorm manager aunt looked at the two in a daze.
No, are you here to check the dorms or to search for wanted criminals?
