A Childhood Friend, Reunited After 10 Years Acts Deredere With Me - Chapter 27 - Idle Talk, Forestry Camp Incident

“Suya… suya…”

“Hey…you’re sleeping…right?”

Alice’s breathing in her sleep was like that of a cartoon world inhabitant. It didn’t change when I put my face close to hers.

If she was falling asleep, she would wake up with a snap and forcefully kiss me. It seemed she was really asleep.

“Well…whatever…”

If she was asleep, that was convenient. I actually had someplace to go today. I went out of the room so as not to wake Alice, and found my mother already cooking breakfast in the living room.

“Oh, Sora, what are you doing here so early in the morning?”

The clock read six o’clock. It was quite unusual for me to wake up this early in the morning.

“I have someplace to go, and when Alice wakes up, tell her I’ll be back around noon.”

“All right.”

With that, I washed my face, changed my clothes, ate my dinner, brushed my teeth, and opened the front door.

………

……

…

It takes about two hours by train to reach the place. The concrete walls are topped with barbed wire.

“Well… here we are.”

I’ve arrived at a reformatory. I didn’t commit any crime, but I heard from the school that three people had been detained here, so I came here to say hello.

After entering the building and going through the reception desk, I was taken to another room by a guard or something like that. I was taken to another room by a guard or something like that. I decided to ask a few questions.

“Do you have any fights among the young and wild people who gather here?”

“There are some fights among them. I heard that prisoner number 809, whom you are about to meet, is having a pretty bad time.”

“Is that him?”

I hit him once and he didn’t pass out, but he’s having a bad time…this seems to be a pretty awesome prison.

“Aah, you know what he’s guilty of, don’t you? He’s pretty much hated on that occasion.”

“What is it about criminals hating criminals? They’re both scum just the same.”

“You… you’re more talkative than I thought you’d be.”

It’s my value system, but I don’t think those who commit crimes have human rights, which is why I say these words.

“Excuse me…is that thing in your room?”

Changing the subject, I’m curious about that too. I wonder if he and I are going to talk behind that door.

“Yeah, he’s already waiting for you. You have 15 minutes to meet with him. Finish it in that time.”

“I understand.”

When the guard opens the door, I see a scene often seen in detective dramas. There is a chair in the room, separated by a sheet of glass, and we sit in it.

There is a guy whose face I have seen before, but where is that atmosphere? He used to fight with me before, but now he is scared like a small animal.

“Hey Saito, what’s going on? Your mood has changed a lot since you were thrown in this jail, hasn’t it?”

As an aside, I heard that Tanaka-sensei, who told Alice and I about these guys, and our homeroom teacher, Shoichi-sensei, came to apologize to my father when I was in the hospital.

They also said that he tried to submit his resignation at that time, but he forgave them because I was fine and there was nothing wrong with Alice’s mental condition.

I heard from Tanaka-sensei that Saito was actually in this prison.

“But the school did a good job, didn’t they? The school did a good job of throwing you guys in jail without telling the media at all.”

Normally, this would have been leaked, but my school is a decent school. If a sex offender came out of there, it would be a big case, so they tried hard to cover it up and put these guys in jail.

“I heard that you got 10 years and those two got 5 years, right? Well, your life is definitely over for now. Congratulations.”

“…! You…”

His bloodshot eyes glared at me, but I felt no fear at all, just as no one is afraid of a rat trapped in a cage when it glares at you.

“I honestly wish you were dead, but 10 years in prison for being a minor is good because your life is dead in a different way.”

Getting caught underage is a downfall in any guy’s life. And since he was forced to drop out of school…what? His final education is a junior high school graduate…and he has a criminal record…wow, that’s not good.

I honestly feel sorry for you when I think about the rest of your life. It’s hell in prison, and it’s going to be even more hell once you get out.”

I got up from my seat and turned my cold glare to Saito.

“That’s all I wanted to say today. Don’t ever show your face in front of us again. If you do, I won’t be the same guy who you had a taste of the forest camp.”

With these words, I left the room. The guard spoke to me as I left the room.

“Ah…you know that guy?”

“Well, of the two things he did, the attempted murder and the attempted rape, the former was me.”

“Well… that’s too bad…”

“I’m alive now, so it doesn’t matter.”

“…This is the director talking to himself…Saito’s room will be replaced next time. I hear there are yakuza who will kill you half to death if you don’t follow the rules of the room, and a homosexual who was caught raping a man…”

“Buhah…”

That’s another disaster, Saito. And it’s going to go on for 10 years, right? That’s a real hell. I definitely wouldn’t want that.
