"This concludes our homeroom session. A reminder to act appropriately as a student of this school over the winter vacation and to not go overboard. That will be all."

Sakagami's words are much appreciated no matter how meaningless they may be. I took out my phone. The day for me to attack has finally come.

Hoshimiya: Your student is very rude you sakagami sensei.

Sakagami: Not everyone is like ichinose.

Hoshimiya: hehe that's right.

Today's the closing ceremony for our second semester. All classes will end in the morning and we'll be free from that point onwards. There will be no club activities either and the school itself is encouraging students to head back early. In other words, there will barely be any students left inside the school building.

Kanzaki: What are you planning ryuen?

Ryuen: kuku what's wrong kanzaki?

Kanzaki: just answer the question.

Ryuen: kuku interesting thing will happen.

"I've ruled out those I can rule out but there's still around 10 possible candidates left over." There are a few I've never even heard of before mixed in there too but I suppose there's no helping that. Ideally I won't have to use Karuizawa but as expected, I wasn't able to track down X's trail.

"Well, I guess this just means I'll get to enjoy myself more on the contrary." To be honest I already have a mark in mind, but there's no point in narrowing it down at this point. Rather, it would be far more exciting to confront X with zero preconceptions.

Hirata: What are going do to karuizawa-san?

Ryuen: kuku just watch.

Kei messages to kiyotaka: {What should we do now kiyotaka}

Ayanokouji: {There is nothing can we do if something else happens I am here.}

Kei looks at kiyotaka.

I made a certain move after the Paper Shuffle. I utilized every last person in Class C that I could and gave them targets to keep an eye on. But it's not like I'll be able to figure out X's identity from just keeping a tail on them. Taking into account the risk of another massive problem occurring, I did not make them tail the more fragile boys and girls. The ones to keep an eye on should only be, at most, delinquent types like Sudou or Miyake. Or someone conservative like Hirata who fears the occurrence of a problem above all else. But that alone tipped those Class D folks off to the threat my actions posed.

Hirata: So someone was following me.

Ayanokouji grp: us too.

In Sudou's case though, he was stupider than I had imagined so I was forced into provoking him directly.

Sudo: what the hell did you say punk?

Ryuen: kuku shut up and wag your tail in front you master.

Sudo was going to hit ryuen.

Horikita: Quietly sit down there sudo-kun.

Sudo: but

Horikita: Sit down

Sudo stopped and sit down and punch near the wall to went his frustrations.

Ryuen: kuku good doggy.

Anyway, the point is to make them constantly aware that I'm 'after them'. That person is probably trembling in fear every day by now. From the fear of 'having their identity exposed'. So far, that person's hid behind Suzune and stubbornly kept hiding their identity. In other words, that person's terrified that the fact that they're Class D's shadow puppeteer will come to light. In that case, I'll keep hounding them and then I'll close in on them. There's no possible way they wouldn't feel fear at that. And one more thing, I even told them I'll be targeting Karuizawa yet they didn't make a move. That person should have been on edge for the past two weeks or so. About how exactly I'm going to make contact with Karuizawa. Or about how I'm going to interrogate her. They probably made Karuizawa report to them daily to check if any events out of the ordinary have occurred. They'd be wondering what actions I'd take in the process of uncovering their identity. That must be, beyond the shadow of a doubt, the only thought running through their mind. It's far more tiring that it sounds and invites nothing but confusion. They'd be left unable to draw a rational conclusion about how close I've gotten. That doubt would shake them up.
