Our class gets excited temporarily by the fairy tale, but we are soon pulled back to reality.
After school, we continued the search for witnesses. I hung behind Kushida, Ike, and the others, trailing them like ghosts. I was impressed, surprised, and amazed by their natural conversation skills.
It was clear that I, someone who couldn't even communicate with my classmates, didn't fit into this task.
How can they talk to people they have never met and act like old friends? Monsters.
In this investigation, we are looking for not only names, but also contact information. Perhaps they felt compelled to give information to Kushida
because personality.
Excellent talent ...
Although Kushida and the others spent a lot of time going to the second classroom and talking to the upperclassmen, they did not find any good clues.
As time went on, the number of students who remained after class diminished. With a lack of new students to invite
speaking, we decided to stop our investigation for the day.
"It looks like we're not lucky today either."
Everyone went back to my room to reevaluate our strategy. Sudou came shortly afterwards
and join our discussion.
"What happened today? Are you making progress? "ask.
"Not at all. Sudou, are you sure there are witnesses? ”
I understand Ike's doubt. Even though the school says
that's the case, there's no new information.
"Huh? I never said there was someone there. I said it felt like there was someone there. ”
"Huh. Did she?"
"It's true that Sudou-kun didn't say he saw anyone. He said he felt there was
someone over there. ”
“Maybe Sudou is hallucinating? He must have taken some pretty potent medicine or something. ”
Dude, that's kind of outrageous. Sudou put Ike in the head.
“Gyahh! I give up, I give up! "Ike crying.
While the two of them were playing around, Kushida and Yamauchi damaged their brains. After discussing the matter for about 10 minutes, Kushida spoke up.
“We might like to slightly change our method. For example, let's find someone who may have found a witness. "
“Search for someone who finds a witness? I don't understand what you mean. "
"Are you going to look for the people who went to the special building on the day of the incident?"
"Yes. What are you thinking?"
That's not a bad idea. Not many students went to the special building, but the entrance was well within sight.
In other words, if someone testifies seeing someone else enter a special building, we'll be closer to finding a witness.
“That sounds good! Let's start asking right away. "
I noticed later that the attention-grabbing person, Sudou, was really engrossed in some sort of digital basketball game on his phone. It really drains the battery.
I thought the game was called Generation of Miracles or something, but I still don't understand. After he won the match, he posed for victory.
Although Sudou could not help, Ike and Yamauchi still looked dissatisfied upon seeing him.
However, they hide their dissatisfaction, perhaps because
they were afraid of Sudou's counterattack. They both chose to ignore it.
Tomorrow is Friday. Gathering information will not be easier when Saturday comes. That means we actually have less time than we thought.
Just then, my doorbell rang and a visitor showed up. Small groups of normal visitors are mostly
it's calculated.
While I consider who
this new visitor, he peeked through the door.
"Have you made any progress in finding witnesses?" Horikita asked, as if she already knew the answer.
"No. Not yet."
"I'm just saying this to you because of you, but I may have found something—"
As she spoke, Horikita noticed that there were several pairs of shoes lined up at my door. He stopped and turned around with a heel, seemingly ready to run.
Kushida peered at the entrance, probably worried Horikita would not return.
"Oh, Horikita-san!" Kushida.
Kushida smiled and waved to Horikita. Horikita, after noticing Kushida, naturally sighed.
"Looks like your only option is to get in, huh?"
"Look that way" Horikita grumbled.
Looking desperate, she entered my room.
"Oh, Horikita!"
Of course, Sudou was happiest to see it. He stopped his game and stood up.
“Did you decide to help? I'm so glad you're here. "
“I don't plan to help. You don't seem to have found any witnesses, do you? "
Kushida nodded sadly.
"If you didn't come here to help, then why did you come?"
"I wonder what plan you're making."
"Well, I'm glad if you just want to listen to us talk. I hope you can give me some advice. "
Kushida then conveys his plans to Horikita, whose expression remains neutral from start to finish.
"I wouldn't say it was a bad plan. As long as you have enough time, your energy may really bear fruit. "
Time is a problem here. Given we only have a few more days, it is doubtful we will see results.
"good. Now that I'm following the current situation, I'm leaving."
In the end, Horikita would leave without ever sitting down. He's not lingering.
“Did you come up with something? Like information about witnesses? ”Tanyaku.
When Horikita showed up at my door, it seemed like she wanted to say something. He was not the kind of friendly person, certainly not the type of person who came to my room for a casual chat.
"I'll give you just one suggestion, to help your miserable chances," he said.
“It's hard to see what's in front of you. If someone really witnessed Sudou's incident, then that person was close. "
Horikita's information is far more important than I imagined. He spoke as if he had found a hypothetical witness.
“What do you mean, Horikita? Are you seriously implying that you found this guy? "
Sudou looked more shocked and doubtful than happy. That's understandable. No one, including me, really believed him .. until we heard his next words.
"Sakura-san." Horikita spoke the most unexpected name.
"Sakura-san is? From our class? "
Yamauchi and Sudou exchanged looks. They don't seem to know who Sakura is. But that might have been expected. To be honest, I had to destroy my own memories for a moment.
"He was a witness. He saw the incident. "
"Why did you say that?"
"When Kushida-san said that she
while looking for a witness in the classroom, Sakura looked down. Many students were staring at Kushida-san. Sakura is the only one
doesn't seem interested. He would not have acted that way without having anything to do with the incident. "
I didn't notice that at all. I was really impressed by Horikita's great observation. He noticed the movements of a very small classmate.
"Because you're one of those people
the one who was also staring at Kushida-san, it's no wonder you didn't notice," Horikita said to me, her tone sarcastic.
"So, you're saying that there's a high probability that this is Sakura, or Kokura, or whoever the witness is?"
Ask Sudou. A keen observation, something that a fool cannot possibly say.
"No, Sakura-san is no doubt a witness. His actions justify that. Although he might not admit it, he was clearly the only one. ”
While we were paralyzed by uncertainty, Horikita had stepped up and taken control. That Horikita has done it for the sake of our class is heartwarming.
“Again, did you really do this for me?!” Sudou looked very touched.
"Don't misunderstand me. I just don't want to waste time looking for witnesses, and let the other classes see us in such a shameful way. That's all."
"Umm. But still, the point is that you saved us, right? "
"You are free to interpret things as you wish, but I tell you that you
wrong."
"Come on, don't lie! you're a Tsundere, Horikita! "
Ike went to hit Horikita's shoulder playfully, as if teasing her. Horikita grabbed his arm and threw him to the ground.
"Oww!" Exclaims.
"Don't touch me. It's the only one
your warning. Next time you try it, I'll hate you until graduation. "
"I-I'm not gonna touch you. Even if I want to .. ow, owww! "
He put her in a headlock. It's a pity for Ike, but you reap what you sow.
After all, it wasn't a normal girl's defensive move. Since I knew that her brother practiced karate and aikido, she might have learned something too?
"Oohs. My arm!"
"Ike-kun," Horikita said as Ike wriggled in pain on the floor.
I think he took it too far.
"Should I change my previous statement, and say 'I will continue to hate you even after our graduation'?"
"Ohh! So cruel!"
After conveying what seemed to be his last words on the matter, Ike's energy ran out.
Sakuea. Of all the people, the witnesses are from Class D. It's hard to know if this is good news or not.
“Isn't this good, Sudou? If it's a student from Class D, then we can definitely make him testify! "
"Yes. I'm glad there was a witness, but who is Sakura? You know him?"
Sudou seemed to have no idea. Yamauchi looked quite surprised.
"Are you serious? He's sitting behind you, Sudou! ”
"No, it's not that. He's sitting in front of you and on the left, I think? "
