Unexpected Friends
Chapters 27. Happy Ending's?

Tuesday, 14 July 2013, 14:05

The perpetrator with the initials Pureya who had terrorized Hokkaido High School 45 with the killing of 4 students during the final year, was caught.

This happy news was welcomed and relieved by everyone, even the families of the victims.

Everyone is finally allowed to find out the murder case that 'he said' has been investigated in secret. Or at least, it has been revealed by 5 students at the school itself.

This case became a global trend in 2 hours. "Murder By Student And Completed By Student." The title will be given to Headline News tomorrow in the morning.

After I was rescued by officers in a locked greenhouse, Anzu was immediately taken to the police station by car. While Haruka's brother was still unconscious so he was taken to the hospital in the car of one of the teachers.

I still remember looking from behind the apple tree, Anzu's handcuffed back and demanded to stand. He still seems unconscious from fainting.

A police officer found me hugging Diary Naoki's book behind a tree. Then I was taken out for safekeeping. There I met the others. There are Akbar, Enji, Elizabeth, and Fumika who have been waiting for me outside the greenhouse.

They approached and thanked me who had dared to face Anzu and still survived.

"Thank God. You survived Alice." Said Eliz holding my hand together with Fumika. "Good work Alice. We succeeded!" Fumika timpal made me think, this must be our happy ending.

Afterwards, we were invited by one of our teachers - Pak Tanaka - to the main courtyard of the school for an impromptu ceremony. There were many others waiting for our presence.

Everything consists of students, teachers, staff, and there are some parents of students who take the time to go to school. They voiced their gratitude to us.

"Wheel! It's Fu-Chan! He's my friend!" Yugi's loud screams made Fumika turn her gaze in embarrassment. "Good God there are so many people." Whisper Eliz to me. I nodded because I agreed.

Maybe because of this, like the freedom from the shackles of fear that for a year has haunted the school. Now we don't have to worry about serial killers lurking around anymore. All returned peacefully.

Me, Eliz, Fumika, Enji, and Akbar stood on the stage to ask chronologically how we caught Anzu in public with many people watching. Fumika as our representative spokesperson replied.

"Ah how is it? As we know, it takes investigation to unravel the mysteries one by one. Starting from the investigation of room number 21, asking some of the sources, until coincidentally the Killer himself became careless so that he showed his nose."

Fumika tried not to add any supralnatural spices in her speech in order to be trusted.

And that means the efforts of Naoki, Kaouri, Ayumi, and Kenji who have helped us are not told. It's sad and unfair. But will anyone believe it? Okaa-san just can't believe what I said about Mandora.

"He probably thinks we're just 'Ordinary kids' who can't be reckless like this. Pfft, misstep." Continued from Fumika's long explanation to everyone on the page.

Journalists and police also diligently record his words, not even infrequently there are reporters who desperate to use a voice recorder on his phone if he does not have time to write.

"But none of this would have happened without the help of my two friends who patiently faced me." This time Fumika pointed at me and Eliz so the camera was aimed specifically at us. His hands were stretched out as a code to get close. So Eliz and I approached her and faced the camera.

"Eliz, I'm very nervous."

"Me too."

This was the first time we were close to a reporter's camera to be interviewed so we just smiled groggyly. What about Fumika? She looks fine.

"Oh yeah, there's Enji and Akbar's brother helping us." Added. Then the person I called, got dragged to the camera voluntarily.

"After learning of Pureya-Anzu's rotten plan, we immediately parted ways to stop it." Continue Akbar in front of the camera until given 1 microphone so that the sound is clear enough.

"Fumika and Enji called the police at the security guard post until they were questioned by Mr. Tamura. Yeah, right?" They nodded simultaneously while smiling faintly.

"Senpai, what's the need to say that?"

"Enji, this is called Give Attention. Make our conversation interesting."

I don't know what Akbar and Enji are whispering until they embrace together. I think it looks private.

"Keep, Eliz and I called the teacher just in case. And thank you Ochari ma'am for listening to us." Akbar stopped talking for a moment to bow respectfully with Eliz to Ochari ma'am who was in front of them. "And lastly Alice, the bravest woman who faced the murderer alone. It must have been really stressful."

No, I'm not alone. "Yes of course, brother."

Click, Cracks. A lot of blitz light almost blinded my eyes. The camera is ready at any time to take pictures. Plus the cheers of the audience who glorified our name.

This color, this feeling. When was the last time I felt it? Very warm and pleasant. Gaining recognition and praise. But there are some others who should get attention as well.

"Please look at me in the hospital."

I remembered Naoki's last words. Maybe I will make a visit one day with the help of Mr. Akbar.

"Arigatou, Arigatougozaimasi ta for your hard work. The school will always remember your merits." The principal I remember named after is Mr. Hideyoshi coming forward to greet us. "Well, let the teachers, staff, and Guardians of the Disciple come up to the stage. We'll take a photo together."

Everyone in question Mr. Hideyoshi also advanced to the stage in an orderly manner. From there they greeted us with joy. There are some faces I remember, such as Mr. Atsushi, Mr. Osamu, Mr. Tanaka, bu Inawari, bu Usagi, and ma'am Youki!

Duh, how to deal with it. Last time we faced off I ran half-dead in front of him. Okay Alice, act normal!

Youki ma'am was in front of me. Suddenly he rubbed my shoulders gently, then bowed before me. Instantly his embrace approached me. I who was in shock retreated slowly without realizing it.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"Yes ma'am." I'm awkward.

"But it's not over yet."

"What?" Youki's mother's words confused me. Didn't Anzu end up in police hands? Isn't it The End?

"Listen." Youki ma'am approached and whispered in my ear. "Pak Tanaka was also involved. You have to pull it all the way to its roots so that this school can recover."

"Excuse me Youki ma'am, I want to congratulate Alice as well." Suddenly a female teacher with fat stature cut off our conversation. So youki ma'am stood back up and left in front of me.

"Thank you son, you're the most meritorious here." Mother's words are wrong. "I don't work alone, ma'am." My reply was to break his thinking.

"But you are dealing with the devil himself. It must be serem, yeah. I can't afford to shadow."

Again. I'm not facing it alone!

🚔🔥🚔

A car with a red-and-blue siren finally pulled over at a police station building after 2 hours of travel.

The front left door where the driver driving the car opens displays a tall figure. The skin is brown close to white. His full police uniform is adorned by badges proving his position as Inspector.

Ukana Hattori, the Inspector in charge of the case, is shocked to learn that her only daughter - Fumika Hattori - has uncovered a bizarre case that they have been researching for months without her knowledge.

Between pride and horror at imagining his sweet daughter turned out to be as level as above. "Well, I didn't get to meet him at school. Well, I miss." His complaint.

Then Akhira opened the back door of his car. "Get out." He spoke briefly to a young man in front of him.

Anzu complied and came out slowly. But another policeman who was beside him during the trip pushed forcefully until he almost fell. "Teme, hurry!" Said rudely.

Anzu could do nothing but bow and answer, "Yes." Slowly because it lost most of its power. The end led Anzu into the office for further interrogation.

Inside they saw a hallway with several rooms to serve as an office. In one of the places, Anzu was told to come in and sit in the reserved seat.

The room was filled with only 2 benches and 1 small table for introductions. The companion who accompanied Akira waited in the corner of the room while he himself sat opposite Anzu.

"Sumi mase n(Excuse me), this is the file you want Mr. Hattori-san." A female employee entered the room and gave the intended file to Akhira directly. "Thank you." Said Akira then the employee left the room leaving the three of them.

"So we start yes, Sakamoto Anzu, aka Pureya." Anzu was still bowed as Akhira spoke to her. "Dam! Answer!" Shouted his friend to corner Anzu. The end felt that there was no need to reply, "Calm Mr. Suzuki." So the tall, slightly hunchbacked man fell silent for a moment.

Akira took out some photos from the given file and lined it up against Anzu. "You remember them? Maori Kaouri, Samaki Ayumi, Okinawa Kenji, and Furugawa Naoki. The victim you killed."

Anzu suddenly shivered in fear. Her hair stood up and her gaze was uncertain. "Remove! Get rid! I have regretted it!"

Of course the answer was given a jolt by Suzuki. "This brat! If you're sorry why it was done?" The end did not stop him. He even wondered.

"Kare(She\=Male) told me. Otherwise my scholarship is cut off, my family's debts are not paid, and my uncle will be imprisoned." Both Akhira and Suzuki, they were equally surprised. Anzu's reaction was like that of a possessed person, wriggling nonstop.

So there's a second party, Inner Endowment.

Tok. A knock interrupts their introgation. Forced Suzuki to open the door and find his coworkers who gave him 2 thick envelopes. "It's a gift from someone to you." He said, pocketing his own envelope.

"You guys just shut up. The boy was a planning killer and was old enough. Tomorrow make a note he'll be put to death as soon as possible. Then close the case." Then went by leaving Suzuki who still holds 2 envelopes in his hand.

"Hoi old bangka!" Suzuki threw the two envelopes right in the face of his colleague who had just looked. He grimaced while cursing her. "Suckers! Holy hush! That's hypocritical!"

"Take your filthy money and eat it yourself!" Suzuki snapped and slammed the door.

Haha, haha. "Huh, I'm gonna die huh? Whatever, that's what she'll want." Anzu looked chaotic and had resigned herself to her fate while laughing miserably. He knew 'that guy' would definitely silence all the police to make Anzu's name dirty and make the media just focus on him. He has been scapegoated and will have a tragic ending.

I told you, didn't I if it was a hassle? Now I'm just sorry. Inner Anzu was desperate. Haruka, how are you? I hope you're no longer stupid to be friends with someone like me.

Anzu took a deep breath, then exhaled it. Then he said, "Have you received the money? Well, like he said. Just kill me."

With a look, Anzu showed her neck with the intention that they quickly cut her pulse. But instead was met with a hard blow from the back of his head by Suzuki, "Oi! We're not as low as**** who ate his own shit."

Then Suzuki pulled Anzu's hair so that his face could pay attention to Akhira well. "Listen boy, if you don't want to die, we better work together." Suzuki's words made Anzu widen in shock.

Not enough just that, suddenly Akira took out a second file that was actually placed in a suitcase that he often carried around and showed it to Anzu. "Since Maori Kaouri's death, all the police stations around Sapporo and outside the area have gotten envelopes with money to keep quiet about the case."

"Families of victims who belong to the underprivileged can not fight this injustice. So we as the remaining 'good cops' conduct secret investigations with other areas."

"It is difficult to find a truly 'original' until it takes 3 months to successfully collect them even with a small amount. The equipment we have is also limited. Until one of us gets into that school to collect evidence. Not just arresting you. But this is also."

After explaining at length, Akira submitted several photos and papers containing data to Anzu. Then he read it as he muttered, "Tax evasion, illegal transactions, counterfeiting of electronic company funds, smuggling of endangered animals, medical device fraud, KKN¹ practices in politics. Already, this is it?"

The latter laughed, then replied, "That's a crime that all his family has just committed. Besides the school problem we got evidence of another crime."

"Once paddled, two-three islands exceeded huh?" Timpal Suzuki is still behind Anzu.

"Well, so my case isn't the only one?" Anzu asked, "Yes." By Aktira. "But don't be proud, boy. The action is still worse." Sindir Suzuki's.

"All right, so can you tell me who told you?" Akira pulled out his phone and started clicking 'recording'. A few seconds after he turned on, Anzu began to speak. "Sometimes I thought 'he' was a good person for paying off my family's debts. But it turns out 'he' used me to be his errand boy."

"Even making threats to imprison my uncle on drug abuse charges belonging to his nephew. And just so you know, 'HE' himself asked that his murder look like a psychopath. I told you it was very difficult."

"Haiss, just imagine how troublesome I must be to tidy up their bodies and destroy them. Then tidy up his TKP again."

Boy, what do you really think of people's lives as? Inner Suzuki who wanted to hit Anzu again but was detained. While the End is only beating softly because shivering because of the words of Anzu. "O-okay, what's the goal for?" Said Akira trying to brave himself.

Oh come on, he's just a 17-year-old kid, who just killed 4 people. Can what the hell is he? The end tried to calm down. But make the fur stand up.

Anzu sighed softly, then replied, "Scholarship boy. He wanted them to be wiped out immediately so that his 'seat' could be sold." While recording, Akira also wrote on the note paper that he always carried.

The killer plans to practice bribery 'buy-seat' Hokkaido High School 45

That is the writing that I have written. "By the way, how are you guys going to fight him'? 'He' has bribed here and there." The question that Anzu threw frowned at Akhira and Suzuki.

"Boy, believe in the gods. Truth always wins." Suzuki replied to Anzu's question in a cool and badass style. But replied, "I'm Atheis² sir."

Stupid terribly. Batin Suzuki was upset to hear his reply. While Anzu seems to be able to enjoy Suzuki's rude attitude now because it reminds him of someone, Akbar. Yeah, 11-12.

"Okay, what's his name now?" Final question for Anzu. And he answered slowly, "....."
