One o'clock in the evening. Dragging my body, both physically and mentally, I went back to my bedroom and went to sleep.

Looking in from the doorway, Cyrus and Hibiki Kiri were lying face to face on the bed, breathing evenly and in a natural posture, as if they had been lying in bed for three hours and had never gone out.

On the surface, it seemed as if nothing had changed the next morning. Naeki Makoto and I got dressed and left first, and waited at the door for Hibiki Kiriki and Cyrus to get dressed before calling us in.

Can be ...... today Only Hibiki Kirikiri pushed the door out with a look of indifference without a tired face.

"Cyrus said she was a little tired today." Hibiki Kiriki explained lightly.

You don't have to explain. Naeki Makoto doesn't care about Cyrus's situation, me...... I probably don't really want to...... Think about that......

Speaking of which...... I kind of understand why everyone will always have only one way to dress. In my closet, the coats and robes are all the same black styles, just like the green hood in Naeki Seiichi's cabinet, and the purple high heels that Hibiki Kiriko has lost all over the shoe cabinet.

……

At this moment, there were five people gathered in the cafeteria: Naeki Makoto, Hibiko Kirikiri, me, Chihiro Fujisaki, and Enoshima Shield.

Well, there's one more Fujisaki Chihiro and Enoshima shield...... Wait, where is the great god Sakura?

With a soft knock on the kitchen door, Sakura Okami pushed the door open, still holding an apple in her hand.

"Is there only six people gathered today?" Seeing such a deserted cafeteria, Okami Sakura's expression gradually became serious, "Where did the others go?" ”

"Then let's wait a little longer!" Miao Chengqiang smiled, wanting to appear more optimistic, "Maybe...... Others were just late. ”

"Anyway...... Before anyone else comes...... Wait a minute. Sakura Okami said, clasping her hands around her and staring at the milk.

"Strange, where did Onikawa-san go?" Chihiro Fujisaki looked left and right in surprise for a while before smiling and beckoning to me, "Here!" ”

Almost all eyes were focused on the kitchen door at the moment. Although I am used to it, I am still ...... to be watched by a group of people like monkeys I'm not used to it.

"Don't look at me," I said, returning to my desk, "get a glass of milk...... That's all. ”

Speaking of which...... Ever since I read that student handbook last night, Hibiki Kirikiri has been looking at me a little strangely. I wish I had a lot of heart.

Hope...... I'm really too careful......

We sat there for half an hour. Chihiro Fujisaki couldn't help it at first, and went to the kitchen to get a few chocolate donuts. As if the dam had burst, others were no longer reserved and waiting for others, and they went to the kitchen to get food.

Watch them gobble up...... I quickly covered my mouth and almost burst out laughing.

Same as I thought. At eight o'clock, Fujisaki Chihiro looked at the clock directly above and exclaimed, "It's been an hour!" ”

Hearing the other party's announcement, Hibiki Kiri put down the fork with the ramen fork and shouted in a low voice like waking up from a dream: "Careless...... Caring too much about Alter Ego's safety overlooks the significance of the black and white bear's motives. All along, the motives given by black and white bears are often not good. ”

"I said earlier that both enemies and potential murderers will take advantage of Alter Ego," I deliberately looked in the direction of Naeki Makoto, with a hint of sarcasm between the lines, "I also said...... If possible, the number of people who know about the existence of Alter Ego should be kept to a minimum. ”

Some people are annoyed, but they are speechless for a while.

"All in all...... Hibiki Kiriki broke the awkward silence, "Let's go find the classmates who didn't come to the gathering, it's better." ”

"I agree." I held up a hand and replied with a bored look.

……

"Next, we'll split up."

"Then I'll be on the first floor."

"I, I'll go to the second floor!"

"I have to climb that high......"

"I'll stay in the dormitory."

"I'll go to the second floor too. Fujisaki-kun's physical condition...... It's worth paying attention to. ”

If you want me to say, you just want to read those student handbooks. I said to myself.

But you should have seen the matter of the blade corpse, right? Remove another thing...... Anything else that cares? Could it be that Hibiko Kikiri has the ability to never forget, and plans to memorize the resumes of previous students of Hope Peak?

No matter, just search for it anyway......

Before I left the first floor, I could hear Sakura Okami "Come on!" from a distance. Something happened! The roar brought us back together.

"Is it Okami-san?" Naemu Cheng, who had just entered a classroom in front of him, poked his head out of the classroom and asked me a question in the corridor.

"I don't know." I answer briefly.

Speaking of which...... Isn't this the classroom in the original work, when Naeki Makoto just entered the Killing Academy?

In the corridor, you can see the extraordinarily tall Great God Sakura from afar. She was hovering in the doorway, full of anxiety.

"What's going on?" I was the first to rush over and the first to ask questions.

"Is the door of your room closed?" Sakura Okami asked me. Miao Mu Cheng, who was outspoken in the back, immediately explained: "It must be closed!" ”

"That's bad!" Sakura's eyes widened in surprise, "I just saw it occasionally, your bedroom door is wide open, and it's ......"

Wait a minute...... Hibiki Kiriki's room......

"I'm just calling the rest of the people, so let's see!" Sakura left in a hurry. The speed was so fast that there was even a strong wind behind him.

What an impulsive guy......

This damn Miao Mu Cheng, where did I disappear now? Why am I the only one left?

I really...... Don't really want to go in......

But after thinking about it, the footsteps still didn't listen to my brain's command, and walked towards the bedroom of the Kiri Hibiki.

However...... The moment I pushed the door in, a small and warm and soft object burst into my arms with a sob......

Hey, hey, hey! What is this?

"Be careful......" Looking at Cyrus's sad expression, my whole person was not good.

"Uh-ghost, Onikawa......" Celes whispered in my arms, "I...... I was careless and was attacked...... Handicap ......"

She's only ...... Lie to me.

I must not be fooled.

See everything now......

It's all ...... It's just acting.

Although I have reminded myself, although this is an undeniable fact...... But that strange feeling in the body...... You can't fool anyone.

Right now...... Even if it's just for example, you should ask the other person what happened......

"What the hell is going on?"

"Someone attacked ......"

No...... You're just attacking yourself......

"Who did that?"

"Strange suspicious person."

After stabilizing my chaotic mind a little, I used the corner of my eye to see the hammer falling to the ground in the distance, and there was a hint of coldness in my eyes.

Thinking about it, a very wonderful feeling still made me hug the warm jade soft body in my arms.

You wait...... If I don't give you a little color, you're really going to die.
