Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Kimura Kazuki suppressed the murderous intent that was burning within him.

He knew that he was not in the early stage of the recuperation of reiki, so Kimura Kazuki could not blatantly kill anyone as he pleased. Furthermore, his ability was nowhere near the point where he could flagrantly commit murder and still escape the clutches of Japan’s military and police force organizations.

Although he could not commit murder in broad daylight, it did not mean that he could not kill anyone. There were countless methods to kill someone discreetly.

As he was thinking, he scoffed, “That means you were the one who locked the back door of the gymnasium storeroom.”

“What back door?” Nishiyama Chiyoko went blank.

“Don’t you know?” Kimura Kazuki furrowed his brows, “Aren’t you curious about why Ito Shunji was able to burn everyone in class four of the sophomore year to death? Even if Ito Shunji had resolved to go down with them, it’s too odd that no one from class four managed to escape.”

The incident was strangely only discovered by the school after all of them were burned to death.

So many of them, yet no one screamed for help. It was as if they were collectively pursuing death in the storeroom of the gymnasium.

“I have no idea. As for the door to the gymnasium storeroom, I did not lock it.” Nishiyama Chiyoko snorted, “But you’re right, why didn’t I think of locking the door back then? Luckily, they all died.”

Kimura Kazuki stared at Nishiyama Chiyoko coldly. This freak… is out of her mind. In spite of that, he believed what Nishiyama Chiyoko said. She had confessed to almost everything, so it would be unlikely for her to keep this from him.

“I’m so relieved after confessing the whole incident,” Nishiyama Chiyoko was all smiles as she spoke, “In all these five years, I had always wanted to share this with someone. I never thought that I would meet that someone today.”

Kimura Kazuki had a cold look on his face. He eyed Nishiyama Chiyoko as she stood up and walked toward the toilet, but he did not stop her.

He did not even choose to lodge a police report… on the ground that it was a private conversation between him and Nishiyama Chiyoko. If the police came, Nishiyama Chiyoko could just deny everything. This was why she was so bold. Besides, he would not call the police. Not to mention that he was impersonating as a police officer… So what if Nishiyama Chiyoko was arrested? Would not that be too easy on her?

Just as Kimura Kazuki was about to leave, Sunny Yamamoto came into the living room. He seemed confused as he looked at Kimura Kazuki, “Mr. Kimura… What happened? You guys haven’t…?” He did not finish his sentence.

Kimura Kazuki lightly shook his head, not wanting to explain anything. This chap was a sad case too, he might have caught it as well. Nevertheless, a life is a life, he planned to tell Sunny Yamamoto the truth.

However, he did not have the chance to speak. He saw Sunny Yamamoto’s face distorted, and the latter screamed, “Reina, what are you doing?! Don’t be so reckless!”

Hearing that, Kimura Kazuki stood up and went to Sunny Yamamoto’s side. He followed Sunny Yamamoto’s gaze, and his pupils dilated. Nishiyama Chiyoko was sitting at the edge of the balcony wall as she stared up at the starry sky. She heard the commotion behind her and turned to look before breaking into an enchanting smile, “My body is starting to show symptoms of the disease. Though I have no regrets knowing I was able to cause you guys some troubles before I die. This is your punishment for lying to me.”

Nishiyama Chiyoko did not wait for the others to respond once she finished. Her body tilted forward, and she plunged right down from the 11th floor.

“Reina… No!!” Sunny Yamamoto turned pale, fear and anxiety devoured him. He came up to the balcony and looked down. However, even with the presence of lighting fixtures, he could not make out anything from the eleventh floor. Cold sweat appeared on his forehead, “How… How could this be…?”

Right… Right!

Sunny Yamamoto’s gaze fell on Kimura Kazuki, who was standing beside him.

Disturbed, he stuttered, “Kimura… You… You saw Reina commit suicide on her own, right? This has got nothing to do with me.”

“I’m not with the police.” Kimura Kazuki snorted silently. He did not expect Nishiyama Chiyoko to commit suicide so decisively. She likely had the intention of taking her own life from the start. It was only because of him that she was able to confess about the incident five years ago. Perhaps following that, she no longer longed for this world and decided to commit suicide in the end? What’s more… she was unsettled right up to the moment of her death.

Just like what Nishiyama Chiyoko had just said. It would spell trouble for him and Sunny Yamamoto if she died. Since both of them were present at the scene, they could not be each other’s eye witness.

How would they explain this when the police arrive?

Kimura Kazuki was filled with deep hatred. This freak still wanted to harm others right to her last breath.

When Sunny Yamamoto heard what Kimura Kazuki said, he was stunned, “You are not with the police? Then…” As he said this, he became furious, and his voice was piercing, “Why aren’t you an officer?” If Kimura Kazuki was not with the police, how would they explain themselves when the actual police arrive?

Furthermore… if Kimura Kazuki was not an officer, then why did he come here? Why was he looking for Reina?

In a blink of an eye, Sunny Yamamoto felt like he was caught in a bizarre incident. A horrendous thought formed in his mind as he broke out in a cold sweat, “You… You drove Reina into committing suicide, didn’t you…?”

“Calm down,” Kimura Kazuki exclaimed coldly, “She already jumped. The police should arrive any time now. Try to come up with a solution instead of freaking out.”

Yes, yes, yes… Think of a solution. Sunny Yamamoto regained himself as he glanced at Kimura Kazuki, who had kept his composure. His eyes lit up, “Right… I installed a pinhole camera in the living room. The conversation that you guys had should be recorded.”

Kimura Kazuki’s eyes brightened. He was still pondering about what they should do, but Sunny Yamamoto had unexpectedly installed a camera in the living room… He was too focused on Nishiyama Chiyoko, so he did not observe his surroundings.

Just that… why would this person install a pinhole camera in his own house?

Probably because he sensed the weird look that Kimura Kazuki gave. Yamamoto explained with embarrassment, “Besides Reina, I will call other women as well. I have a hobby. I like to record and appreciate it all by myself. However, those people would not let me record it, so I secretly installed pinhole cameras in my home.”

Kimura Kazuki was at a loss for words. He never thought that he could get off the hook because of such reasons.

“Delete the conversation that the two of us had just now.”

After all, when he was talking to Sunny Yamamoto, he admitted to having impersonated the police. The video must not reach the police.

Hearing that, Sunny Yamamoto was made aware of the situation. The guy standing in front of him was not a police officer but pretended to be one… But after a short pause, he nodded, “Fine!” Right now, he just wanted to get out of trouble. He still could not regain himself from the shock of Reina’s sudden suicide. Therefore, he just wanted to get this over with as soon as possible. As for Kimura Kazuki, he could no longer care about that guy.

They then proceeded into the bedroom. Sunny Yamamoto operated the computer and extracted the recording swiftly. After observing that Sunny Yamamoto had deleted all the conversations that they had previously, he was finally at ease.

Following that, Sunny Yamamoto watched the recordings of the conversation that Kimura Kazuki had with Nishiyama Chiyoko.

After finishing, he could not bring himself to speak. He was filled with anger as cold sweat appeared relentlessly on his forehead. He felt lucky as he said, “I wondered why this vile woman would always request me to not wear protection… That’s, that’s why… Fortunately… Fortunately…”

It looks like this person was not infected… Hearing that, Kimura Kazuki thought to himself. Nevertheless, he still reminded Sunny Yamamoto, “I suggest that you go for a medical check-up in the hospital after all of this is over.”

“For sure!” Finishing his words, Sunny Yamamoto saw that Kimura Kazuki was headed for the door and could not help but question, “Where are you going?” Kimura Kazuki was like his foreperson now. Besides, Reina just committed suicide, he could feel the chill creeping down his spine if he were to stay home alone.

Kimura Kazuki’s voice was icy, “Going down to check if she’s thoroughly dead.”

“I want to go too.”
