"This is so depressing," I said as I watched them carry Pippi's body away. "If this keeps up, Akademi's reputation will drop down and soon this place will be haunted. The school will lose its students." I facepalmed.
"This happened 3 times in a week too. In a freaking row." Budo reminded me.
"Makes things worse."
"Who do you think it is?"
I sighed. "That's my problem. I think I know- wait, scratch that- I know who the killer is, and everyone seems to remember the name, but... they don't know where they heard it... you get me?"
"Sooo who is it?" Budo asked me again.
"Ayano Aishi, class 2-1."
He stared at me, blinked, then looked at the ground. "What club?"
I crinkled my nose. This is tough. It depends on the player as Ayano what club they want to join.
Wait.
She's wearing a mask the last time.
"Drama Club, I think. She wears a mask the last time I saw her." I replied slowly.
"That makes sense; this Ayano girl kills people, and we can't see her face because she wears a mask." Budo explained. "Not to mention the amount of times the police went here and they still haven't caught her. She must be a boss, huh?"
I rubbed my arm nervously. "Haha... yeah..."
His eyes lit up. "I have an idea."
I hummed in response.
"Why don't you ask Kizano about Ayano? He's the leader of her club, so why not talk to him about it? "He suggested. "We club presidents have some sort of records and profiles of our members, I'm sure he can tell you at least something about her."
"Good idea, but... isn't it confidential or something? You sure I'm allowed to see the records?"
He scratched his nape. "Uh, heh, not really... but Kizano is a big doof; he'll make things possible for you when you..." then he fake- coughed.
"When I what?"
Budo facepalmed. "When you use your charms on him."
I giggled.
"What? Why are you laughing? Was it something I said?" He asked me, raising his eyebrow.
I shaked my head. "Nothing."
But my damned brain...

Now I'm hungry.
What am I talking about, I'm always hungry.
"Will you go for it?" Budo's question snapped me back to reality.
"Uhm, I still don't know. Kizano and I aren't really..." I crossed my fingers (🤞) "...like this. I think we'll have a problem."
He rolled his eyes, then pushed my hand back down. "Please. Even if you're enemies, flirt with him and you can get what you want." Then he smiled. "Besides, boys will get jealous when they heard you flirting with Sunobu instead of them."
Although he's smiling, I can see something else in his eyes.
...jealousy?
I shook my head then trashed that thought.
"You really think this will work?"
"Promise. And if you succeed, I'll take you out." He let out a toothy grin.
My eyes widened. "E- excuse me?"
"Things have been messed up lately so I figured it's best if we take a short break." He explained. "Don't worry about the payment; it's on me."
