Episode 3 - Takuya High School Arc

“It seems like there’s a traitor.” “Hey you.”

“Y-Yes?”

“What’s your name again?”

“Hiromi.”

“I’ll spare you this time Hiromi.” “But if this happens again then you’ll never see daylight.”

“Now.” “It’s time to find that traitor.”

“You may leave now.” “Shoo.”

“Y-Yes.”

After the girl left another girl came in.

“Kaori!” “Its been a while!”

“Y-Yes it has Erika.”

“Did you hear what was going on?” “There’s a traitor!”

“O-Oh is that so..” Kaori said nervously.

“Yes..” “Perhaps, you know who it is?” Erika said staring at Kaori.

“I-I have no idea who it is.” Kaori answered.

“Hm…”

“Oh, by the way..”

“I’ve been meaning to ask you something Kaori.”

“What is it?” Kaori asked.

“When.. did you escape my mind control?” Erika said with an eerie expression.”

“W-What..?”

“Didn’t we agree that you won’t use mind control on me..?” Kaori asked nervously.

“We did.” “But you know.. I never keep promises.” “So I used mind control on you.” “But you know what’s weird?”

“Heh..” Erika laughed.

“I can’t control you even though I used mind control!” Erika said.

“E-Erika..”

“So.. don’t tell me your the traitor!”

“After all my dear friend. This was your idea, you can’t betray me now.”

“Now, tell me, my dear friend.”

“How did you escape it?”

......................

Once Riku and Akane went to where the scream came from they noticed that it was Maiyuu’s classroom.

A conversation between 2 people could be heard in the classroom.

“AHH HELP ME!” “PLEASE!”

“This is your punishment.” “I’m sorry Yuna.”

“NO! PLEASE SAVE ME!”

The girl continued to cry.

Both Riku and Akane have each other the look. They went inside the classroom and saw a girl on the ground crying with blood. The other girl was holding a knife dripping with blood.

Riku and Akane were shocked as well as the girl with the knife.

“W-What are you doing here?” The girl with the knife asked.

“What are you doing!?” Riku asked.

“I-I w-was t-t-told to-”

“SAVE ME!” The girl cried.

“What the hell is going on..” Riku said.

“H-HELP IM BEING CONTR-”

Before the girl could even finish her sentence she fainted.

“Y-Yuna!”

“Y-Yuna please I’m sorry!”

“Yuna!”

“Riku.” Akane whispered.

“Can you deal with them while I make a call.” Akane asked.

“Alright.” He said.

While Riku was dealing with the girls inside the classroom, Akane was making a call to Maiyuu.

“The number you have dialed-”

Akane sighed and sent a text to Maiyuu: “Where are you? Please come to class 3-C when you have the chance.”

“Any luck?” Riku asked.

Akane shook her head.

Riku sighed and said, “What’s she even doing?”

“What happened to that girl?” Akane asked.

“It looks like she just fainted and her friend is crying which is strange because she was the one who inflicted those injuries on her.” Riku answered.

“I’ve been trying to get her to answer my questions but all she does is cry.”

Akane walked over to the girl and her friend.

“Your friend is inured.” Akane said.

The girl ignored Akane and kept crying.

“Why don’t you take her to the nurse?” Riku asked.

The girl said, “There is no more nurse! No more nothing!”

“Huh?” “What are you talking about?” Riku asked. “Isn’t the nurse’s office just around the corner?”

“Like I said, there’s no more nurse.” The girl said while crying.

“I can help you.” Akane said.

“Akane-” Riku said.

“Don’t worry, I’m just gonna use bandages.” Akane said.

“Alright.” Riku said.

“Ah but I don’t have any.” Akane said.

“Huh?” Both Riku and the girl said.

“I’m going to the nurse’s office.” Akane said.

“B-Be careful.” The girl said.

“It’s just the nurse’s office.” Riku said.

“Riku stay here with them.” Akan said.

“Huh? Oh, alright.”

“Thank you.” The girl said.

As Akane left the classroom she checked her phone to see if Maiyuu answered her text. Unfortunately Maiyuu did not which made Akane worried.

As Akane walked to the Nurse’s office she noticed how silent the halls were and the empty classrooms, except for one—3B, Shou’s class.

“Eh? Akane, what are you doing here?”

It was a familiar voice. It was Maiyuu.

“Maiyuu?”

“Why didn’t you answer the phone?” Akane asked.

“Eh? Oh.. I had my phone turned off.” Maiyuu answered. “Heh..sorry..”

Akane sighed and said, “You scared me.”

“So where are you headed?” Maiyuu asked.

“The nurse’s office.” Akane answered.

“Eh? Why?” Maiyuu asked.

“I’ll explain along the way.” “Just follow me.” Akane said.

“So what’s up? You injured? Ah well you can just heal yourself using your power so..” Maiyuu said.

“My power is not intended for healing.” Akane said.

“While I’m not injured there is someone in your own class who is.”

“In my class?” Maiyuu asked.

“Well, I’m not sure if they are from your class but they were in your classroom.” Akane replied.

“How were they injured?” Maiyuu asked.

“It’s complicated. Once we get back I’m sure they will explain.” Akane said.

“They?” Maiyuu said.

“There’s two people. I’m not sure what was going on but once we get back we’ll figure things out.” Akane said.

“How do you think the others are doing?” Maiyuu asked.

“Riku is with the two people right now. Shou is still in class right now, I just passed by his class and Oda’s status is unknown.” Akane said.

“Help me find some bandages.” Akane said.

“Found them.” Maiyuu said.

“Let’s head back.” Akane said.

“Shouldn’t we bring Shou with us?” Maiyuu asked.

“I don’t think the teacher is in any of the classrooms.” Maiyuu said.

Akane’s thoughts: Thats right! I was supposed to find the teacher and I said I had to use the bathroom. I wonder if they’re looking for me.

Akane’s thoughts: What I have concluded so far is that the teachers are disappearing somewhere. And it looks like some of the students are also disappearing considering that there is no one in the halls. However, Shou is still in class. Oda also must be in class.

“We can get Shou.” Akane said.

“What should we do if he’s in the middle of class?” Maiyuu asked.

“I doubt it. You can hear the students fooling around.” Akane said.

“Here take the bandages and bring them to class 3-C, Riku will take care of the rest.” Akane said.

“I’ll get Shou and we’ll go to class 3-C and hopefully we’ll get an explanation.”

“After that we’ll look for Oda.”

“Gotcha Captian!” Maiyuu said.
