Chapter 8: An evil at heart

Weekend later,

Monday.

The official announcement for the end of the rainy season hasn’t come yet, but the progression of moon had changed, and the sun is making appearances more frequently. From here on out, Summer is about to come in full swing. Well, according to the calendar, it’s already here.

Since each classroom is equipped with air conditioning thus classes don’t feel torturous with sweat-soaked faces, but going outside is becomes a hassle.

It’s terrifying to even think that people in the past attended classes in rooms without air conditioning. Even though it wasn’t as hot as it is now, it was certainly hot enough by the standards of the time. And, enduring that heat to copy down what’s written on the blackboard into your notes—it’s truly a reflection of what students should be. If it were me, I would have raised my hand early and fled to the infirmary. Then I’d quench my thirst with a cold Pocari Sweat a minute later.

[TL: Even the teachers were scary. So, you aren’t even allowed to get to infirmary without a perfect reason. :3]

To ensure even a bit more longevity of this planet, enlightening consciousness from person to person also becomes a lot more necessary. It’s not something that concerns only others… for the sake of the children coming in the future—Stop, global warming!

Well, even though saying such grandiose things while enjoying the comfort brought about by air conditioning, doesn’t make my argument even a little convincing.

Right now, solving the problems happening nearby takes precedence over global issues though.

After taking care of the outer influence, and having isolated Katase, Tachibana moved on to the next stage. From using indirect methods to direct ones.

Slandering on SNS, putting bugs or trash in lockers, hiding essential items like textbooks—every day, they engage in harassment that’s enough to make you sick of it just by hearing about it.

And what’s even more frightening is that they’re having their followers and members of Katase’s class do these things. Which makes it even more frightening.

Crush anyone who they don’t like. But also, not dirty their own hands. The cunningness was uncharacteristic from mere high school students… Tachibana is truly wicked to the core.

As long as Tachibana has an escape route, confronting her directly would be futile. Rather, there is a possibility on making things even worse.

What’s even more worrying is Katase’s mental state. There’s no way she could be okay after going through all of this.

It seems Hiiragi was getting worried and therefore has been meeting with Katase frequently to talk, but Katase insists on being fine. She probably doesn’t want to cause any worry by saying that, but the fact that she’s doing this makes us even more concerned.

People who aren’t okay tend to say they are more than anyone. And in reality, Katase, who I see at school every day, is getting gloomier day by day.

Just in case, I’m also exchanging messages with Katase on LINE, still it’s hard to convey much information through just text alone.

That’s why, I made plans to meet with Katase after school today.

Talking face-to-face with her won’t dramatically change the current situation. If anything, it won’t change a thing at all.

But still, I’ll meet her. Even if just by speaking with someone, her heart can be slightly eased, then that’s all that matter.

Moreover, it would be good to know how Katase is thinking things right now as well.

Both of these might not come true, but I’ll meet with Katase. Because there’s something I need to tell her—no matter what.
