Imagine the tragic death of Kiyogo Harano, imagine the reaction that Wanhua will have on the night, and imagine the reaction that everyone will have......

After various images appeared in his mind, Kazuya gradually calmed down.

………… Is it really going to be done?

That's murder.

Although I really hate Harano Kiyogo, I wish he didn't exist in this world, but I want to kill him myself......

The demonic expression slowly receded, and a tangled look appeared on the honor student's face.

I want to live, only to use that thing, so I'm not wrong, I'm being forced.

But...... Is Kiyogo Harano wrong?

His presence was an eyesore, an eyesore to all the boys in the class, but ...... That guy is a good guy!!

Even if they hate each other so much that they don't exist in the world, Oike and Tani have to admit that Kiyogo Harano is a good guy - a handsome, cheerful, and helpful classmate.

I think he's an eyesore because he's so good. When facing him, there will be a sense of inferiority, and jealousy will arise.

Kill him...... Is it really good?

And the conscience in the heart of the valley is questioning.

It's not a question of whether it's good or not! I have to! I want to live! What's wrong with killing the person I hate to keep myself alive!?

There is nothing wrong with that...... But......

No but!That's it!I'll kill Kiyogo Harano!I'll kill tomorrow!!

Wanhua is very sad at night......

It's good to make her sad!

It's true...... Is that okay?

What else could I do!??

Kazuya roared in his heart, surging with struggle.

……

Oike and Tani took a leave of absence.

It is said that I was caught in the rain yesterday and caught a cold.

It's really bad luck to catch a cold at this time, and I hope he can recover before Valentine's Day...... Harusa, who learned the news, thought so.

The proximity of this special holiday makes the atmosphere in the class a little delicate. The degree of stabbing from the male classmates has increased dramatically, making Harusa smile bitterly in his heart.

The only thing he can do is behave like usual.

It's raining again today. And according to the weather forecast, it is likely to be this kind of weather in the next few days.

Hopefully it will be sunny on Valentine's Day. Although the rainy Valentine's Day has a special charm, it is more pleasant to have a sunny day.

Wednesday.

Oike and Tani are still on leave.

I heard that several classmates who had a good relationship with this honor student wanted to visit, but they were politely refused, and it seemed that they had a good cold.

During the lunch break, Kaori is surrounded by girls who ask for tips and tricks on how to make chocolate, and Mika and Chiaki are also involved.

As a result, Harusa had a rare experience of eating lunch alone.

Later, I learned that the situation had developed into a handmade chocolate cooking class after school, and there were many participants, including some girls from other classes...... That's amazing, Kaori-sensei.

Thursday.

Oike and Tani came to school.

He wears a mask, has dark circles under his eyes, and doesn't look energetic.

When Harusa looked at Kazuya, the latter also looked over, and the two sides looked at each other.

Harusa's eyes were gloomy and complicated when he saw this honor student secretary.

In the next second, Kazuya withdrew his gaze.

Harusa was puzzled.

Recess.

When Harusa went to the bathroom, he saw Kazuya standing alone in front of the corridor window, watching the rain outside.

Oike-san...... How's your body?" he asked, leaning closer to the other.

"It's okay, thank you for your concern. The honorable student replied flatly, still looking out the window.

Harusa also looked out the window and was silent for a moment.

"Oike-san, do you have anything to say?" asked softly.

“…… Why do you ask?"

"Because I feel like you're trying to tell me something. ”

Kazuya: "............"

"I'm sorry if I thought about it too much. Harusa turned around and was about to walk away.

"Plain Field-san......" A deep voice sounded.

Harusa's footsteps paused.

"Tonight, can we talk about it alone?" and Gu said in a low voice.

“…… OK. Harusa's eyes flashed slightly, and he replied.

"Thank you. After expressing his gratitude, Kazuya said the time and place.

"Don't tell anyone about this. In the end, he left such a sentence, and the secretary of the honor student walked away.

Haruji glanced at his back, then turned and walked away as well.

That night, the rain stopped.

Harusa arrived on time at the agreed place, a small park.

I saw Oike and Gu squatting in the sand pool, piling up sand towers.

High school boy in jacket and trousers, mask and glasses, squatting in the sand pit for children to play with sand piles of sand...... It looks a little weird.

"Good evening, Oike-san. ”

“…… Good evening, Harano-san. ”

Kazuya clapped his hands to remove the sand from his hands, stood up, and turned to Harusa.

"Why did you come?" he asked, looking at the other man in a low voice.

"Because I agreed. Harusa replied.

"Why did you say yes? I'm not friends with you, isn't it strange to meet alone at night?"

"It's really strange, that's why I agreed. Harusa said calmly.

"Because you're curious? huh...... Curiosity kills. Kazuya sneered.

"Sometimes it does, but I believe in Oike-san. ”

"Trust me? huh...... Believe me what? Believe me can't do anything!" Kazuya's tone suddenly sharpened, "Believe that I can't win against you! I can't threaten you anyway!!?"

"It's not. Harusa looked at the other party, "I believe that Oike-san, not the one who will kill me." ”

He Gu was stunned for a moment.

Then, complex dark and deep emotions came to his heart, making him blurt out -

"Fart !!"

A roaring roar shook the night sky.

"I want to kill you! I want to kill you!!You super obnoxious bastard!!It's good to be dead!

The cursed words reveal deep negative feelings, and there is no doubt that they are sincere.

Harusa felt the malice, but his expression remained calm.

The scene fell silent.

The distance is within four meters, looking at each other for four seconds, and no one else sees...... The conditions have been met!

All that's left is to hold a clear killing intent and recite "kill" four times.

Kazuya wanted to do that.

But inexplicably, he couldn't make a sound, and his throat seemed to be choked by something.

"You want to kill me, but you won't really kill me. Harusa said softly, "Because by doing so, it is tantamount to denying Oike-san, yourself." ”

Kazuya was stunned.

"Oike-san, you've been working hard and you're proud of it. In this way, what you really want is to win over your opponents, not to destroy them. Harusa looked into the other's eyes.

"You think you can't win me, so you hate me and want me to disappear, but you will never really kill me, because this is to admit that you will never be able to win me, and completely give up your pride. ”

"Your efforts are not only worth this, your pride is not only this level, you should be able to see clearly...... Even if you are confused, in pain, and struggling for a while, you will eventually recognize and believe in yourself. ”

"That's what I believe. ”
