Episode 19: Hot Water Room
...... Come here a
moment, Onizuka-kun.
At lunchtime, as soon
as I left the men's room, Hosoya-san, who was waiting for me, grabbed my arm
and pulled me into the hot water room.
She's a level 6, which
makes her quite powerful.
She closed the curtains
after making sure there was no sign of anyone.
“You said you'd forgive
me for that chocolate this morning.”
“I did.”
“Then what's this?”
Hosoya-san thrust her
phone in front of my face.
On the screen of the
phone, there was a message that read, “I have something to tell you, so please
come to my house at eight o'clock this evening. The address is ......”.
“That's the message I
sent you.”
“I know you did. I'm
asking you what you mean.”
Hosoya-san lifted her
eyes and came closer to me.
With Hosoya-san's
beautiful face inches away from mine, I'm sure I would have gotten flustered.
But I'm not the same
person I was yesterday.
After all, this person
really tried to kill me. That's when my love of a long time wore off.
“I mentioned that we
need to talk.”
“Then we can text each
other. Why do I have to go to Onizuka-kun's house tonight?”
“I don't mind if we
meet at your house, but I don't have a car, so I thought it would be better if
we meet at my house.......”
“That's not what I'm
asking you!”
I don't know if this is
Hosoya-san's true form, but she was ranting hysterically.
“Hosoya-san, if you
speak too loud, someone will hear you.”
“I-I know.”
After taking a sip of
tea and regaining her composure, Hosoya-san asks me again.
“Can't you just text
......?”
“Yes. I want to talk to
you alone because it's quite important.”
“You're not trying to
trick me after saying that, are you? I don't trust you, you know.”
“I'm not going to do
anything.”
You're the one who
tried to kill me, so what are you even saying?
“... Okay, I will come.”
“Thank you. Then I'll
be waiting ... Oops.”
I opened the curtains
and was about to leave when I almost bumped into Saeki.
“Oh, I'm sorry, Yamato.
Oh, what, Hosoya-senpai was there too?”
“Eh, yeah. I'm thirsty…..”
“Me too. It's winter,
so it feels dry.”
Saeki walked into the
hot water room after me.
Yeah. It seems that the
conversation was not overheard.
does he really not get it? she's just afraid of an retaliatory strike from an supposedly more experienced killer, since single digit kills are rookie numbers on an 1 kill per week bases, it's human nature, but i guess someone with an natural coldblooded trait can't relate. and instant forgiveness on an murder plot isn't very believable.
