At night, Ikei Keito, Kosuke’s class president, slipped out of his room in a depressed mood.
“Ah, shit ! Fucking annoying !”
He shouted as soon as he left his room and kicked the wall in the hallway.
Keito had tried to take advantage of Kosuke’s weakness to be in the same group with the three most beautiful girls in the class during the camp’s group assignment, but he was countered and placed in the least conspicuous group in the class to make up the numbers.
At night, after lights out, two of the boys in Keito’s group were still talking about which of the girls in the class they wanted to date.
Frustrated, Keito reached his limit and came out of his room.
(What a bunch of shady assholes talking about low-level love. And when I left the room, they looked at me with pitying eyes. I’m the handsome, genius, class president, remember? If it were up to me, Akane, Mio, and Reina would have been mine by now…..!)
He strode out of the lodging, dispersing his anger.
It was when he was walking around aimlessly. Keito witnessed the scene.
Two people were facing each other, and there seemed to be some kind of dispute.
One of them was Ogasawara Reina, one of the girls in his class whom Keito was targeting.
(The other one is an old lady whom I don’t know…….)
Of course, Keito has no way of knowing, but the person facing Reina is her mother…to be precise, her former mother, Ogasawara Machiko, the toxic parent who caused Reina so much trouble.
Machiko is currently a homeroom teacher at a school that has a camp at the same location as the facility where Reina and the others are staying.
Of course, Keito, who had no idea of such circumstances, saw this as an opportunity and decided to act.
(I don’t know what’s going on, but it looks like there’s some kind of trouble. So, if I save Reina in a pinch from that old hag,….I’ll get a good impression, won’t I? I mean, she’s going to fall in love with me, right?)
With such ulterior motives in his mind, Keito approaches them.
“Well, calm down, Auntie. I don’t know what happened, but–ugh !”
Keito tried to intervene first, but was immediately hit by a chair thrown by Machiko, knocking him out with a single blow.
Keito has no way of knowing, but the current Machiko is not the type of person who has common sense.
Her hair, which used to be neatly cut before Reina left home, has grown long and lazy, and her eyes, which used to be sharp, have turned even more vicious.
“Why……are you here…..?”
Reina was in a state of panic as she was confronted with the biggest trauma of her life.
About an hour ago, she left her room to try to cool her excitement because she had enjoyed spending the day with everyone and couldn’t sleep.
She bought a bottle of water from the vending machine and sat outside on a bench to take in the pleasant breeze. If it were her old self, she wouldn’t come this far.
(I’ve taken my time…..and if I stay up late, people might be worried.)
Just as she was thinking this, Machiko appeared in front of Rena.
◇
“Reina, what are you doing here at this hour? Didn’t I tell you not to go out late at night?”
Machiko approaches with a crazy, vacant look on her face. She no longer seems to be able to distinguish between the two. The relationship between the present and the past, which Reina has completely disconnected from.
“No, no, don’t come…..!”
(No, no, no, no… I was able to escape from this demonic woman…please help me, Kou—)
“Come on, let’s go home together.”
Machiko’s hand reaches out toward Reina. Reina tries to run away, but for some reason she can’t move her body. It is as if she is having a nightmare. It’s a scary dream where her body doesn’t move as she wants it to…..Reina is trapped…
“Rei !”
and just before Machiko’s hand touched Reina, she found herself being held in her arms.
When she opened her eyes, there was the person whom Reina had called for help just before. Arazaki Kosuke…..or Kiritani Kou.
“Kou…..you came to help me again.”
“You were hard to find, just like that time.”
The time Kosuke refers to, of course, is the time when Reina disappeared from the novel posting site.
“Huh? Reina……why do you look so happy? When you were with me,……you never once made that kind of face,…….”
Seeing the scene, Machiko mumbled like a mad woman. This must have been the most humiliating experience for her, who thought she had received a perfect education.
“Screw you, screw you, screw you…! ! ! !”
Machiko swung a nearby chair with both hands and swung it at Kosuke and Reina.
Akane and Mio, who had reached nearby, came closer to help them at the same time. But they cannot reach them in time. Just when it seemed like they were in desperate need of help…
“Uwoooooo !”
Ajima Yoshio, their homeroom teacher, suddenly intervened.
“Gaaaahhhh !”
“Ajima sensei……!”
Kosuke shouted. Ajima was hit by a chair that Machiko swung down on him, and he fell to the ground. Nevertheless, he got up his aching body and stood in front of Kosuke and Reina.
“Ajima sensei…..why?”
Reina asked. Of course, Kosuke was surprised, as were Akane and Mio. To them, Ajima turned and smiled.
“Well,…..at least it’s a clean slate. Haha, I know…..that I’m an unreliable and useless teacher. As a homeroom teacher… I need to protect my students. What’s the point of being a homeroom teacher if I can’t even do that…..!”
With that shout, Ajima jumped on the chair Machiko was using as a weapon.
