Chapter 45: The Other

At this time, all the students came in to the "Nasao" coffee house, and of course, K was among them. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

I quickly glanced at K, and unfortunately, I happened to meet the other party's eyes.

I hurriedly looked away, trying to pretend that nothing had happened... Unexpectedly... K actually walked towards me.

The classmates who didn't know the inside story didn't pay attention, and they were busy ordering something to drink from Yukihiko, and the other four people who knew about it all changed their faces and looked at K and me nervously from different directions.

"Ruriki-"

Somehow, Momoi couldn't help but call me, I turned my head sharply, and at this moment, I felt a small action being completed by K Lisuo without anyone else seeing.

- K shoved something into my pocket and passed me by.

I put my hand in my pocket—I felt like I had been struck with an iron cone.

"This is..."

All the nerves that could pull the shock and fear were stretched to the limit, and I heard the sound of my own heart beating like a mountain being exploded, and my hand clutched what K had put in my pocket.

"Rurishi, what's going on?"

Momoi strode over to me and asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, I was just accidentally bumped by a classmate..."

I swallowed my saliva and shook my head, my eyes moving undirectionally.

"It's okay."

Momoi told the other three people who were nervously following me with his eyes, "Don't worry, it's okay. These words reached them through eye contact, and I saw them relax and exhale.

Even though I say it's okay, in fact-

As soon as I returned to the city after the visit, I appeared in a bookstore called "Guyuan Cat" not far from the school. Because of the note - "When you go back, please meet at the 'Guyuan Cat' bookstore, please come alone, be sure to delay." ”

And that note is what K put in my pocket.

I didn't tell anyone to go to the meeting alone.

After entering the "Guyuan Cat", I didn't see any trace of K, I picked up a novel on the shelf and flipped through it, although my eyes moved around the book, but I was cautiously waiting for K to appear.

Suddenly, my phone rang -

It's a message.

"I'll answer the phone with a headset in a moment! Don't look back, pretend to listen to the song first. ”

I was very nervous when I saw the message because I knew the source of the number for this message.

It was sent by K.

I took out the headphone cable and connected it, pretended to be calm and listened to the song as much as possible, and then changed to another novel, and just after this series of actions was done, the call came in just right.

"Rurixi, you don't have to speak, listen to me first."

I whispered an "um" in response.

"Ruriki, I know you and Momoi already treat me like K, right? Because you look at the school register and see that I am the one who 'no' on the register, but I don't need to explain whether I am K or not, you can prove that you believe me, you know I am not, I am right."

He smiled a little and continued.

"K isn't me, it's someone else..."

"I see."

I whispered.

"Ahh

He was extremely surprised on the other end of the phone.

"How do you know?"

"Because of what you put in my pocket—"

I whispered to him with a book over my mouth.

"Shall we meet next?"

I proposed.

He didn't agree directly, and hesitated for a moment.

"Can you go to my house and wait for me? It's going to be safer there, because I think K might be stalking me, or maybe he's stalking you, and that's why I didn't come to the 'Guyuan Cat', so I can only call you to confirm, you know, fighting against K can only be 'foolproof'. ”

"Well, I see, then I'll wait for you at your house, and I'll follow the address in the class address book."

An hour later, I arrived at Takemori Shrine, the home of Norito Chiba.

The person who wasn't on the school admission register.,At that time, I checked with Momoi and the result was indeed Chiba Nori.,Because he's a descendant of a family of shrine maidens.,So it's a little hard to believe he's K.,But he's now cleared of suspicion.。

- K, that's actually the person.

I was flustered because the answer made me...

"Ruriki."

At this moment, Chiba's voice flew from behind me, and as soon as I turned my head, he made a "go this way" gesture at me.

Norito Chiba does not live in the shrine, but in a row of machiya next to the shrine.

It was the first time I had entered the shrine maiden's house, and I was curious about everything in the house.

I looked around—

"It's hard for you to accept, isn't it?"

Chiba Noria brought tea to me and said with a long sigh.

"Yes, there are some..."

I couldn't help but bow my head, that person was K... I really... It's hard to accept.

We were silent for a while.

"Why isn't you on the admission register?"

I looked up at him and asked.

"I'm afraid it was K who did it, and now K's target is me, if you all treat me as K, I will die next, and my death will naturally become your expectation, and you will think that the countermeasures of all people's 'reply' have taken effect."

"Why are you K's target?"

"Because after I found out who K was, I did something to interfere with K."

"Interference? How so? ”

I seem to be able to tell from his words that "reply" alone is not enough to repel K's feelings.

"Do you remember when Akiya died, pointing to the middle of everyone?"

"It was very panicked, as if at that time..."

I tried to remember what it was like.

"It's like... K was not present. ”

"Yes, it's true that the K you know is not there, because then K appeared in another form."

Norito Chiba said as she looked directly at me.

"That's..."

"The appearance of another person, and it is a stranger, do you still have an impression?"

"It's a bit of an impression, the scene was really chaotic at that time, I didn't notice it much, and I wouldn't care if there were unfamiliar faces."

"So, everyone who died before could see K before they died, why?"

I don't understand that very well.

"K is here to confirm death."

"Confirmed?"

"Yes, K can't move on to the next death until the last death is confirmed."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but stir up a wave of horror in my heart, and I had the illusion that "K killed his classmates one by one".

“... Well, you don't have to think that K killed his classmates, in fact, K just did these things for the 'lily of the valley puppet'. ”

Norito Chiba saw my look and explained to me with a wink.

"The window...? Anyway, did the 'Lily of the Valley Golem Window' appear in the school? ”

"You know that, too?"

Norito Chiba stared at me with wide eyes.

"-hmm!"

"Looks like you know more than I expected."

Chiba Noria grinned, but then he put on a smile and continued.

"You know why the 'Window of the Lily of the Valley Golem' is called the 'Lily of the Valley Golem', you shouldn't know this, right?"

I shook my head to meet his appetite for what he was going to say.

"Let's start from the very beginning... That place that communicates with death..."
