Episode 17: Antidote Spell
I hold the phone close
to my ear.
“...... Hello?”
“Oh, hello,
Onizuka-kun? I'm
Hosoya, and I'm sorry for calling you at night.”
“Oh, no, it's totally
fine, how can I help you?”
It was the first call
from Hosoya-san since we exchanged numbers when I went out for drinks with
Hosoya-san and Saeki after work.
“You know, you haven't
eaten the chocolate I gave you yet, right?”
“Ah, yes. Not yet ...”
“I forgot to taste it
when I made it, so I'm not sure if it's done well.”
“Ah, is that so?”
Hosoya-san is a little
more outgoing than I thought. That's also very cute.
“So, you don't have to
force yourself to eat. If that's the case, you can throw it away.“
“No, no I wouldn't do
such a thing.”
It's Hosoya-san's
homemade chocolate. Who would throw it away?
“If you want, I can
take a bite right now.”
“Really?”
“Yes. I'll have a bite
now.”
I broke off a piece of
chocolate and put it in my mouth in such a way that Hosoya-san could hear me.
Then I chewed it
gratefully.
Nom-Nom
“Did you eat, Onizuka-kun?
What do you think?”
Hmm ... it's a bit
bitter.
To be honest, the taste
was a bit strange. But there was no way I could say that.
“I ate it. It's really
good.”
Compliment came out of
my mouth.
“……really”
“Yes. It's really very,
ugh......!?”
“......what's wrong?”
“N-No, no, it's just
that I'm suddenly ...... feeling, like, a lot of…. pain in my chest.......”
It was sudden.
I was hit with the
strongest nausea, headache and breathlessness I've ever felt.
What the hell is this?
It hurts.
I can't breathe.
“he..lp ......get an…
ambulance ...... plea..se.”
“Hey. Onizuka-kun.
You’re a murderer, right?”
“..!?”
What did you just say?
What did you just say,
Hosoya-san?
“You know, that poison
has a 100% fatality rate, so you won't survive. Bye bye, Onizuka-kun.”
“He..y...!”
What the fuck is going
on?
Hosoya-san poisoned me!?
Bullshit....... It is a
lie!
“Gof......!”
I coughed up blood as I
fell on the carpet.
My heart ached terribly
as if it was being squeezed tightly.
I'm not gonna make it,
am I?
Am I going to just sit
here wait for my death for no reason?
In my fading
consciousness - no, wait a minute!
She said "poison”
Hosoya-san did indeed say poison.
“... Gaha ... Ku,
Kudoge ...!”
I said the antidote
spell while my life was on the line.
Instantly, my body felt
light as if all of it was actually a lie.
In addition.
“Kufika! ......!”
I continued to cast a
recovery spell.
I was in a panic, so my
voice got louder, but it couldn't be helped.
I could apologize later
to the Shimizu family, who would understand my situation.
“... Hah.. hah.. hah.. It
was dangerous.”
I've got something very
important to do now.
“...... Kazumi Hosoya”
She is a murderer.
Damn. That was a nice plot twist.
