When I Was Presumed Dead, They Became Unhinged Unknowingly - Chapter 3

“Satoru hasn’t come today either. What’s the matter? Where has he gone? I can’t even contact him.”

There was a girl in the student council room who was looking at her smartphone with an upset look on her face.

The other members had already gone home, and the lights in the student council room were not on, so it was pitch black.

What was displayed on the smartphone screen was the chat history with Satoru, the man in question.

“Do you have time now? ”21:12

“Hey, Satoru? ” 21:15

“You said you were going to call, right? Did you have something else to do? ”21:16

“Sorry. I must have done something bad. I’m really sorry. So, could you please just reply? ”21:59

“Please, reply. I’m going crazy with anxiety” 23:32

“Hey, Please. Please. At least mark it as read” 1:11

“Satoru, I miss you. Hey, Satoru? I feel like I’m going to died. When Satoru ignores me, it feels like everything becomes worthless to me. Satoru, help me. Satoru.” 3:01

After that, only the texts sent by Misuzu filled up the chat history, and there was no reply from Satoru at all, and almost a week had passed.

Misuzu knew that nothing would be solved by doing this, but there was nothing she could do.

She didn’t even know Satoru’s house, so she had no choice but to wait quietly at home.

“Satoru, where have you really gone? Did you start hating me? Or……”

I thought of the worst thing that could happen, that Satoru would get caught up in something and die, and I shook my head to get rid of that thought. 

Just thinking about it made my body feel cold and I felt like I was going to freeze and paralyze.

I gave up and turned off my smartphone screen, and when I left the student council room, I saw a familiar face.

“Hey, you.”

“What is it, Shiranui-san?”

Karen Shiranui.

She is a girl who is considered a delinquent by other students.

Her earlobes, which can be glimpsed through her black wolf-cut hair, have numerous piercing holes, giving her an atmosphere that makes it difficult for others to approach her.

Rumor has it that some students enthusiastically support her because of her good-looking face. Her body is lacking compared to Mizusu’s; her breasts being B than A.

She is known as the lone wolf because of her cold, unapproachable air.

“Hey you, do you know where Satoru is? He doesn’t come to school and hasn’t been returning my calls.” 

“No, I do not know. I have also tried to contact him, but he hasn’t replied to my calls either.” 

“……I see.”

Karen looked at Misuzu as if she was sizing her up.

“I thought you were keeping Satoru to yourself by locking him up or something, but it doesn’t look like it.”

“…you, I’m not doing anything to the likes of it!!”

“………Haa, I get it, so don’t yell so much. But, I just had my suspicions because you were the last one to see Satoru.” 

She covered her ears and looked deeply irritated. Misuzu, realizing that she had been more distraught than she had expected, took a deep breath and calmed down.

“If it’s not you, then it must be one of the other three; anyway, I have a feeling it’s not you.”

“……..”

Perhaps because she was filled with anxiety that Satoru might have disliked her because he had not contacted her at all, the idea that another woman might be keeping Satoru all to herself had completely slipped out of Misuzu’s mind.

Misuzu, like Karen, began to wonder who was keeping Satoru to himself.

An insidious girl named Mika comes to mind, who seems to be the easy-type.

“Is it possible that Mika is doing this?”

“I suspected that too and asked her about it, but I guess not, because she had gone mad to the point that she couldn’t speak properly.”

Misuzu wonders who it was, but thinks about the insects that were often around him, and since there is a high possibility that all of them are like that, she decided that she had no choice but to ask around.

“Then I will ask others. Do you happen to know where Satoru lives?”

“No, I don’t know.”

“…I see.”

“Yes, I didn’t exchange contact information with you guys because I didn’t think it was necessary, but now that things have come to this point, we might as well keep in touch temporarily.”

“You’re right.”

Thus, Misuzu finally began to look for Satoru, but she never expected to hear that he was dead.

SHINIGAMI-san: Next chapter is crazy. I’ll try to upload it in advance.
