The Degree
The appearance of Leo

The sixth day has arrived. Tomorrow is the time when the break ends and coincides with the execution of Ray's plan. Now he is with Terumi to discuss some things.

The colleague Ray could share some very few things. Surely Mona and Arthur are not included because both are not people Ray is capable of believing.

“Omong by the way are you okay, Ray?” ask Terumi. “Lately there have been frequent murder cases at night.”

“Murder?” asked Ray in surprise. “I haven't gone anywhere lately so don't know anything.”

Terumi nodded her head, “Lately there has been a strange case where at night someone knocked on the door. No one knows who it is but every time someone's door opens it will die miserably.”

The story begins six days ago where suddenly there was a discovery of blood coming out of one of the rooms. The victims died miserably where their hands and feet were severed.

This is then related to the incident when Ray found a mutilated corpse.

“There is a saying that the remains of the Rebellion members are the masterminds of all this. But not a few also say that there is a crazy psychopath in this place.”

People who like to commit murder for no apparent reason. The existence of such a person is very dangerous.

“Then we don't need to open the door, right?” ask Ray.

Terumi nodded in agreement. If opening it means death then from the start it is better never to open it. That's the best choice I can make.

“I heard from some people that the door is not always knocked. Sometimes the voice of a woman calls out to him and gets the men excited. And, the women who he said heard a soft voice from the men.”

From the story it seems there are some people who heard it or were targeted for murder but failed because they did not open the door.

Even so the worry will not end even if it is not difficult to make preventive measures.

“Now people start living in the same room. If something happens they will win in.” amount Terumi looked seriously. “There is no way the number of perpetrators of this murder will be many.”

“The chances are only men and women, right. If that's the situation then there will be no braking.”

Ray was convinced that many thought so. The room provided by Secret to rest was large enough to house two to three people.

“Ya,” Terumi glanced at Ray a few times while writhing weirdly. “Speaking about that ... w-can you—” Terumi hesitate to deliver it and blush.

After a few seconds of waiting Ray got what this girl wanted.

“M-will you share a room with me?!”

Ray already had some possibilities in mind but he did not expect such a thing to be in demand. Women who fall in love sometimes don't make sense.

It's not a bad thing staying together because he'll get full protection from Terumi. It's just that the perpetrator of this murder was someone else.

Unfortunately Ray knew who did it so he didn't have to worry at all. Not a bit to worry about.

“It was good but I will reject it.”

Terumi looks disappointed because of Ray's answer, “Why?” terumi.

“Both me and you can take care of each other. You are strong because your degree is amazing. While I can take care of myself without difficulty.”

“In addition if this person will act, I'm sure they won't try to attack us. People are already aware that the importance of roommates so these assassins probably won't act rashly.”

“You have a point.”

Surely that's true. This is the last day they can enjoy because tomorrow is the end of the break.

“Yo! Long time no see you two!” A man came cheerfully towards the two.

It was a familiar voice to Ray and Terumi. Given this man was nowhere to be seen these two months.

“Leo!” Terumi greeted him cheerfully. “Where have you been lately?”

“Ah, I'm back to my old habit.” Leo chuckled and scratched his non-itchy head. “I'm a self-container. Maybe that's why I have a Sleeping Lion.”

Ray just looked at me and conveyed a faint smile on his lips to greet Leo.

‘This guy is obviously full of lies,’ thought Ray.

Ray had gone around the various blocks but had not seen this person at all. Even if Leo were to completely shut himself up, it would be impossible for two months not to go out.

In this place the game is not available, there are only tetris and the like. If there is a person who is two months locked up without going out and without getting bored, it's a strange thing that's amazing.

“So. Thank goodness you're okay, Leo.”

“I'm also happy,” said Ray gently.

Leo smiled wryly, “It seems that I have missed a lot of things during my confinement. What happened?”

Bailed himself two months. Leo will obviously miss things just because of that. I don't know what this guy's doing but Ray will be wary of him.

At least there's no sign that Leo will move to defect for now. Even if it doesn't mean Ray's gonna let go.

Terumi then nodded and began to convey information of everything that happened one by one. Although it does not convey it in detail, the outline is easy to draw.

Surely the events that happened in Ray's room will be a secret. Ray also changed the course of the conversation to avoid Terumi saying anything about Erina.

By giving a big pass like what is happening now will bring Leo's interest in this direction.

As they continued to speak, Ray heard a voice that he was familiar with from elsewhere.

“Listen to me first. You can't act like it!”

“I? Can't do? Fuck yourself! You yourself do things as you please. Why am I the only one locked up like this? I hate you!”

It looks like a normal pair of lovers quarrels in an unnatural place like this. Ray will initially ignore this because there is no benefit or advantage that he can get from meddling.

It's just that the guy found Ray and the others. He started walking towards Ray with a bitter face.

Terumi may have seen it once considering the two had been involved in a short time. While Leo who just came out of the cave certainly will not recognize him.

“It looks like you got into a fight with your lover,” said Ray.

“He is not my lover,” he said with a bitter face. “Can I ask for a little help?”
