GreenThumbGrower is online.
MischiefHorn: Nyahaha~, what a day that was~.
GreenThumbGrower: I take it things have gone smoothly, MischiefHorn?
MischiefHorn: Nyahaha~, better than expected.
MischiefHorn: But, honestly, that was a really close call.
MischiefHorn: Even if we knew from the story how Sensei first met with Aris-chan, to see it almost happening with my own eyes was something else entirely.
MischiefHorn: If Harebin had failed to stop Sensei from overshooting himself and encountering Aris-chan… well, we knew what would've happened then.
GreenThumbGrower: Yet, it didn't happen. All thanks to your foresight.
MischiefHorn: Nyahaha~.
MischiefHorn: While I love getting all the praise…
MischiefHorn: All I did was put some extra work on Harebin's shoulders.
GreenThumbGrower: She accepted that responsibility.
MischiefHorn: I know… and thatit couldn't be helped that she was the one who had to do it.
MischiefHorn: She was the only one who could visit different schools without going through the bureaucratic process or using less-than-legal means to infiltrate the schools.
MischiefHorn: And I have no doubt that she wants to avert what happened to Aris-chan and Sensei as much as we do…
MischiefHorn: ….it's just…
GreenThumbGrower: Were you thinking about that day, Niya?
MischiefHorn: Well, it's hard not to think of it when it broke her that bad.
MischiefHorn: Also, what happened to the rules that we shouldn't use our real name as a security measure, A-chan?
GreenThumbGrower: Forgive me. It was unusual that you were taking things this seriously, so I just…
MischiefHorn: Are you saying I'm an unserious person usually? I'm taking offense to that.
GreenThumbGrower: I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to–
MischiefHorn: Nyahaha~, I was joking.
GreenThumbGrower: A joke, was it?
MischiefHorn: A word of advice. It would be good for you to broaden your interactions with other students while you still can.
MischiefHorn: It's not the time for that yet, right? Then you should have some freedom to go out of your confine.
MischiefHorn: Come up with some excuses with Ditzy Goddess. That should keep the suspicions away from you.
GreenThumbGrower: You think I'd be allowed?
MischiefHorn: What? Do you need me to send an invitation?
MischiefHorn: Wait, that's a good idea, actually.
MischiefHorn: We haven't had the chance to sit down and talk since we parted ways. And if it's an official invitation, then they wouldn't be able to act as audaciously as they would otherwise.
GreenThumbGrower: No, what I mean was–
GreenThumbGrower: Would I be forgiven if I were to enjoy a normal life, even if it was momentarily?
MischiefHorn: You're still worried about that, huh?
MischiefHorn: I don't know why you would, though? It hasn't happened yet, and there is still time to change it.
MischiefHorn: Besides, as Mucchan said, there is no better time to enjoy ourselves than now.
MischiefHorn: And we know hell is coming, so, again, better enjoy ourselves before things finally go south.
GreenThumbGrower: Is that why you paid a visit to Rio?
MischiefHorn: Partly.
MischiefHorn: I just want to get her attention off of Sensei.
MischiefHorn: Rather than have her wasting her time monitoring SCHALE 24/7, it's better to make her believe that an external enemy in the form of Hyakkiyakko exists.
MischiefHorn: At the very least, this way, I can somewhat steer her actions.
GreenThumbGrower: Should I dispose of her?
MischiefHorn: That is a terrifying proposition you've just laid out there.
GreenThumbGrower: It was a joke.
MischiefHorn: A terrible one.
GreenThumbGrower: Is it?
MischiefHorn: Yes
GreenThumbGrower: Oh.
MischiefHorn: Her misguided actions aside, she was useful to have around.
GreenThumbGrower: I know. Her Eridu was helpful back then.
MischiefHorn: Now, if only there is some way we can pull her out of her shell…
MischiefHorn: By the way, how did you know I went to meet Rio?
GreenThumbGrower: Golconde informed me.
MischiefHorn: What?
Harebin is online.
MischiefHorn: Oh? Look who's here~.
GreenThumbGrower: Welcome back, Harebin.
MischiefHorn: How was your trip home, Harebin-chan?
Harebin: Hieeee~😭
MischiefHorn: Do I even want to ask what happened?
GreenThumbGrower: What happened, Harebin?
Harebin: I-I got scolded for being MIA~!
GreenThumbGrower: Did you not submit your request for leave?
Harebin: I-I did. Bu-but, they said they didn't receive it, so maybe the paper was mistakenly dropped somewhere else after it was taken from the box…
MischiefHorn: So, what happens now?
Harebin: I-I have to fi-finish an assignment in a…week.
MischiefHorn: My condolences.
Harebin: It's fine…for trash like myself, this is a fitting punishment… I was lucky I wasn't being thrown out for this….
MischiefHorn: Now, now…how about this? How about I send someone to help you with your assignment?
Harebin: Eh? No, no, no, you shouldn't waste your time on me.
MischiefHorn: It's fine~.
MischiefHorn: Consider it a reward for your effort back then.
Harebin: Back then… MischiefHorn-san, how's Wakamo-san…doing?
MischiefHorn: Sleeping peacefully.
Harebin: I-is that…so? I-I'm glad…
MischiefHorn: On that note…Grower-chan, you've been silent for a while now.
MischiefHorn: You're thinking of something?
GreenThumbGrower: Nothing significant.
GreenThumbGrower: I was planning to ask Harebin to do something for me, but it's out of the question now.
Harebin: I-I'm sorry.
GreenThumbGrower: Please, don't be.
GreenThumbGrower: It's nothing significant, really.
MischiefHorn: You're making me curious. What is it, really?
GreenThumbGrower: I just wanted to ask Harebin's help to deliver Luce and Ombra directly to Sensei.
MischiefHorn: Why not send it to him yourself?
GreenThumbGrower: It's difficult and will take too much time to go around those prying eyes.
GreenThumbGrower: Besides, if the recollection is correct, in a few days, Sensei should be headed to that place.
GreenThumbGrower: If I suddenly left to visit that place, finding an excuse they could accept would be difficult.
MischiefHorn: That's true…
Harebin: I-I'm sorry.
GreenThumbGrower: It's fine, Harebin. You don't need to feel guilty. There will be other opportunities to return them to Sensei.
MischiefHorn: Yep, I think I can arrange it for you.
GreenThumbGrower: Arrange what?
MischiefHorn: An express delivery to Sensei.
MischiefHorn: You just need to find a way to give them to Ditzy Goddess, and I'll take care of it with her from there.
GreenThumbGrower: An express delivery…are you talking about utilizing those Problem Solvers?
MischiefHorn: Hmm…no.
MischiefHorn: But I do have a couple of swift hands in Hyakkiyako.
Harebin: S-swift…hands?
MischiefHorn: Ninja.
GreenThumbGrower: Oh, I see. You're talking about her, aren't you?
Harebin: U-umm…w-who are we talking a-about?
MischiefHorn: I'll PM you later.
Harebin: O-okay.
GreenThumbGrower: I leave it to you, then. I will speak to Ditzy Goddess.
MischiefHorn: Let's continue our discussion later.
GreenThumbGrower: Of course.
GreenThumbGrower is offline.
MischiefHorn: Right. Now, as for the preparations…maybe I should provide a sunscreen for her.
Harebin: W-what does she need….sunscreen…for?
MischiefHorn: Nyahahaha~!
MischiefHorn: Well, she's going to Abydos, after all. Who knows how she would fare in a desert like that?
Harebin: A-Abydos…is it?
MischiefHorn: Anyway, Harebin-chan, I will send a cute yet stiff fox to help you.
MischiefHorn: Don't worry, she might look scary, but she loves cute things. And since you're cute, she will definitely help you!
Harebin: C-cute? Me?
MischiefHorn: Nyahahaha~
MischiefHorn is offline.
Harebin: Ah. Uuu…
Harebin is offline.

A/N: Just noticed that someone put this fic in Blue Archive's trope FanficRecs page. The comment is interesting. I confess I didn't know that Technologically Blind Elder and Aging Would-be-Hipster were a thing. 😅
Next up is Volume 2 Chapter 1 (I). When we get back to Millennium, Volume 1 will be resumed.
