Once we entered the agency, we saw Luna and Na-eun sitting there playing some kind of card game as we appear to have disturbed their match as now their attention was on us.
"So found anything?" Na-eun asked as I sat down.
"Well we've got his name." I said as I then asked.
"Hey Na-eun do you have a computer?" As she nodded enthusiastically. "Yes I do!"
"May I use it for a bit?" I asked as she nodded more.
"Oh right here," I Pulled out a teddy bear from the bag and then noticed.
"Huh?" There was another teddy bear...
I guess he gave it to me as a gift?
"I got these two for you girls." I said giving one to Na-eun and one to Luna.
They both seemed happy receiving gifts.
"Thanks Haruki! I'll treasure this!" Na-eun said as she quickly went to open her room's door.
She then opened the door and gestured for us to enter.
We entered her room and yep... It's definitely a girl's room.
"Here's my computer!" She pointed at it as I then sat on the chair.
Time to search...
As I began looking I found that similar cases of Harley Beck's death happened even before.
Every 3 months a woman would die and would you look at that... All the victims were born on the 23rd.
This Kazuhisa guy has some weird pattern.
I continued reading more.
"suspects of the murder." Once I've seen this my eyes widened.
Of course his name was familiar...
He was none other than my high school bully from back then. Kazuhisa Douji.
Why was he here...?
Why did he have to appear now?
I stood up and then walked to the couch ignoring everyone's words.
This guy... He hasn't changed has he?
Why is he here... Why... Why..... Why........
W H Y.
I suddenly felt memories surge... Memories of 5 years ago.
-------- 5 years ago. --------
I woke up from my sleep and then went to shower.
After showering I put on my school uniform, wore my glasses and then walked to Ai's room
"Ai, Wake up. It's time for school." I said as she then slowly woke up.
"Big brother...?" She said as I then smiled.
"Yeah It's me, Now wake up sleepyhead. You have school." I said as she then got up from the bed.
"Okay...." She said still feeling sleepy as I then left.
"I'm leaving for school now, you better wake up and not miss school again okay?" I shout as she replied.
"Okay." I then left to make my way to school.
On the way I accidentally bumped into a girl with black hair and purple eyes.
"Ow... Sorry! I didn't mean it!" I said as the girl seemed like she was nervous.
"O-Oh it's no problem...!" She stood up and then grabbed her bag that fell due to impact.
"Oh that emblem... You go to Chishiki high right?" I asked as she nodded.
"Well then It's that way In case you're lost." I said pointing north from where I was standing.
"T-Thank you sir!" She said as she then quickly walked to the direction I pointed to.
I then continued walking to school.
Once there I found him standing there in front of the gate. Brown hair which was short, green eyes and wears ear piercings.
"Yo, It's the loser." He said looking at me as he came up to me.
This guy was none other than Kazuhisa Douji. He's also the son of the principle.
I sighed as I then replied forcing a smile.
"Good Morning Kazuhisa." I said.
"Ahahaha! You are so funny Haruki! You're reactions are always the best!" He said as he then began acting all Buddy buddy with me.
This guy wasn't my friend don't get the wrong idea.
He was my bully.
The day goes by as now it's finally lunch break.
I made my way to the cafeteria as then Kazuhisa followed me.
"Where are you going buddy?" He asked as he then grabbed me and took me to the bathroom.
In the bathroom, his friends were waiting for us.
W H Y AM I REMEMBERING THIS?
"Finally, took you some time to get here." One of the boys in the bathroom said.
Kazuhisa then pushed me to the wall and they cornered me.
"Your wallet." Kazuhisa said as I gave them my wallet.
I was always being robbed by Kazuhisa and his goons.
And whenever i tried to fight back, Kazuhisa's dad had his back.
I wish he dies.. I wish he dies... I wish he dies...
He should have died that day.
After taking my money, they then began attacking me.
Being beaten by them really hurt me.
I wish they'd die.
After lunch break I went to the nurses office, the nurse knows what I go through. Everyone does, but no one can do a thing.
"I'm sorry Haruki... Please bare with this.. Just a few more weeks. I'm still trying..."
The nurse and I have always been trying to stop this cycle but it was always pointless.
"It's okay Miss Emi." I said as she then sighed.
"It's not okay! Those kids are your bullies. I will seek help and stop them." She said as I then smiled a bit.
Miss Emi has always been a kind nurse who cared for me.
She wanted to help me.
I was the one who refused her help.
She gave me a piece of candy as I then ate it.
"Thanks." I said smiling as I then got my bruises treated.
"Please just wait until next week Haruki... I'll stop them." She said as she then hugged me.
This was the first time I get a hug since #%$ died.
"I will." I said as I left and when I looked at the time.
It seems school ended today...
I started walking home as I then saw Kazuhisa again waiting for me.
He had a wicked smile..
I wanted to kill him...
I did kill him.
"Hey there Loser." He smiled as he then pulled out a scalpel.
"It's time huh..?" I asked as he nodded smiling and then took me to the back of the classroom.
He then began slashing my arm as my arm began to slowly turn red from blood.
"You're not crying... Why?" He asked seemingly angry at my reaction.
"Because I don't feel anything... Anymore." I said as I looked at him and he continued.
Afterwards he left leaving me like this.
As I was about to leave, I looked up.
There was a Camera looking at where I was. "Doing nothing..." I said as I then left to go to my part time job.
But While walking. My consciousness Began to fade as I passed out due to lack of blood.
When i woke up, I found myself in the hospital.
"Oh you're awake?!" It was Miss Emi who helped me when I passed out.
"Wh-What happened...?" I asked as she looked saddened.
"It was Him... He did that to you and you passed out due to blood loss." She said as the doctor then came.
"Oh he's awake? He can leave then if he feels okay." The doctor said coldly not paying much attention to me, as i then stood up.
"Miss Emi... I'm sorry you had to pay for me." I said as I then continued.
"I'll go now, I have to cook dinner for my sister." I said as she grabbed my hand.
"Ow!" I shouted as she then let go.
"I'm- I'm Sorry... Listen Haruki. I'll come with you and help you." She seemed insistent.
"Okay..." I said as we then left the hospital.
Miss Emi didn't own a car, she drove a motorbike.
"Hop on and hold tight." She said as I held her waist tight and she began driving.
Soon, we reached Home and then I entered and saw Ai there sleeping in the couch.
She was probably waiting for me.
I walked up to her and woke her up.
"Ai wake up." I said as I gently shook her body.
She slowly woke up and when she saw me, she hugged me.
"Where were you?!" She asked as I then told her.
"I was studying with some friends." I said as she then noticed Miss Emi standing behind me.
"Who is she?" She asked as I replied.
"Oh she's my school nurse, She offered to make dinner today since well... I planned on making us eat instant noodles. She was insistent." I said jokingly as she then sighed.
"Noodles..." Ai said as she then looked at Emi.
"I'll make you some dinner just wait for 20 minutes." Miss Emi said smiling confidently.
After eating dinner, Miss Emi went to sleep and I put Ai to bed.
Then I went to my own room and finally laid on bed.
I went to sleep wondering what would happen tomorrow.
I Wish Kazuhisa dies tomorrow.
Nothing could have prepared me to what would happen Tomorrow.
Because the next day... I....
