19: 😢Dead Student 2

~Akademi High (School Grounds)~
~YS Life~

I ran out of the main building, looking for a black haired- girl with the ritual knife.

"Come on, come on, come on! Where are you?" I muttered. I looked around, then saw a glimpse of a person turned right in the corner.

I ran to catch up with the person, but when I made that turn, I bumped into someone, then fell on the ground.

"Sorry about that, Miss Y/N," a male voice said.

I immediatly looked up, then gasped. "Megamo!" I exclaimed, dusting my skirt.

He raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing out here? Osano told me you've been acting suspicious lately. Is something wrong?"

I panted. "Yes, yes! Something's wrong, okay? Definitely wrong!"

"Take a breather first, L/N. Then tell me what the problem is."

I breathed deeply, but I can't calm down. My heart's still pounding fast. "The... the killer!"

"What? The killer is what?"

"I may be overreacting a bit, but the ritual knife in the Occult Club is missing! There's a chance it's with the killer right now!" I exclaimed, and his eyes widened.

As if on cue, a scream rang through our ears.

Megamo and I glanced at each other, then he ran inside the building. I followed close behind.

♡♡♡

"Megamo! Y/N!" Ryuto shouted, panting. I can see the fresh trails of tears on his cheeks. "It's Pippi! Someone attacked her in the Computer Lab!" He then lead the way.

We gasped as we saw Pippi Osu's body's lifelessly floating in a pool of blood. Her blood.

Megamo turned to Ryuto. "Did you witness the murder or catch the killer by any chance?"

Ryuto nodded, then shaked his head slowly.

Megamo rolled his eyes. "We're serious here!"

"I am serious!" Ryuto protested. "I haven't witnessed anything, but I know the killer is a girl, and she ran outside in top speed."

I pursed my lips, then looked outside the window. I saw Ayano wearing a bloody mask and uniform, running to the incinerator area.

My earlier hunch was right; she used the ritual knife, and she's dumping it in the incinerator.

'I'll catch you one day, Ayano.' I thought. 'I can promise you that.'

Megamo kneeled beside Pippi's body. "Shoot. We lost one again. This is my fault... this is the fourth time!"

I looked back at him, then patted his shoulder. "It's not your fault, Megamo. We just need to catch that girl and we're good. Everyone's safe."

He sighed, then stared blankly at me. Can... can he please stop doing that... it's making me nervous. "Who do you think the killer is again?"

"Uh, Ayano Aishi. She's in class 2-1." I replied rather quickly.

Megamo looked down at the floor for a second, then turned to Ryuto. "Do you know who Ayano Aishi is?"

He scratched his head before replying. "Name rings a bell... but I think I heard that name in a movie or something, not in real life."

I sighed. Seriously, is Ayano a ghost, or what? Dafuq is going on?

Natsuki Anna slid the doors open quickly, then gasped. "No! it can't be..." she kneeled beside Pippi's corpse.

"This is a tragedy, why would anyone do this? I'll call the police immediatly." She brought her phone out. "There's been a death at Akademi Highschool. We need help right away!"

Megamo and I glanced at each other.

Anna- sensei shaked her head, then sighed. "This... this is the third time this week. Mr. Ippongo, do you know who the killer is? Do you witness the murder scene?"

He hung his head. "I haven't. I just heard Pippi's scream then saw a glimpse of a girl. She quickly made a sharp turn around the corridor, and didn't catch her."

Anna- sensei massaged her temples. "Mr. Saikou, investigate this matter, okay? We teachers expect a full report next week, clear?"

Megamo bowed. "Crystal. Yes, sensei."

She looked at me. "Miss L/N, thanks for helping out investigating. I knew I could count on you for events like this."

I smiled a little.

"As for you, Ryuto, you have to come with me to the faculty room to answer more questions."

"Understood, Miss Natsuki."
