After school, wait Hojo.

Bought nutrition biscuits, vitamin drink convenience.
To shake Hojo.

『Here.』

Angel says, Hojo enters class.
Sees me, blinks.
Weird face prob.

“What’s up Sagara-kun?”

Silent, pull biscuits drink.
Say.

“Ebina… eat.”

Hojo shocks.
Not confusion.
Shame secret poked face.
Hidden busted—natural.

“How… know?”

Hojo whispers.
Can’t say status.
Bullshit reason.
Partial truth, momentum crush.
Observe Hojo.
Nails catch eye.
Spoon-shaped deform.

“Those nails. Malnutrition deform. White spots. Zinc lack.”

Hentai site zinc supp ref.

『Why not play cool full!』

Angel sighs, Hojo hides hands panic.
Face pale not red.
All fooled Hojo beauty.
Skinny idol norm, thought normal.
Me too till Malnutrition status.

“Hair falls too? Mineral lack.”

Hojo just downcast.
Shame sure.
Normally no say girl hair loss.
Club hair, should’ve noticed.
Truth out, Hojo real clear.

“Ebina, too skinny. All duped pretty, not me.”

Bluff.
Declare no lies stick.
Seal fibs.
Hate hitting girl weak—lowest.
But priority over ideals.

“Wh-why…?”

Hojo shakes.

“Taste gone long time… right?”

Mineral lack too.
Maybe stress.

“…Leave me!”

Hojo snaps raw.
Normal rage.
But quiet.

“Can’t recall real name. Right?”

“I Ebina…”

“No. You’re Misao Hojo. Ebina months unused too.”

Hojo quiets.

“Yoshimura! Random kid, Lida-sensei… Gouda-sensei. Get cops.”

“N-no peeking…”

Sorry. Use you now.

『…Calculated Yoshimura peek too…?』

Yup.
Sealed Hojo escape.
All out open.

School kidnap girl? Absurd.
Logic right, belief emotion.
Smash norms needs show.
Set detective “you’re guilty” stage.
Hojo dodges fail? Trick Yoshimura found 10k, drag cops plan B.
Keep detective play.

“Hojo, Rikako’s kidnapped daughter 10 years back.”

“St-stop! C-can’t recall! Dad mad… Mika dies if…”

Serious “life” drops, Yoshimura bolts.

Hojo soft voice.

“Cops now. Got it?”

“Why… no one noticed till…”
