Part 1

One of Takeya’s classmates opened his mouth It was Kishi+naer than Takeya, wearing his traderin

“There are two types of people Those who fight, and those who run Those who resist the e their situation, and those who submit to her and try to live out the rest of their lives as best as they can”

“So, Takeya, which of these are the ones running?”

Takeya understood what he was trying to say After all, they had been long-time friends, since before they even came to Sorakara Farm

Takeya grilared at him with his characteristic narrow eyes and continued

“Those who operate under the assuirl, those who keep chasing after unattainable hopes Those idiots are the ones running away Wouldn’t you find it hilarious if an ant thought it could defeat an elephant and started going to a boxing gym?”

Maintaining his s on the wall next to Takeya

“I didn’t think you were like that, Lilly I’ve given up on such fantasies”

She did not take it well

“You’re quite annoying, aren’t you, Zan? Call ical girl”

“Oh, so you’re just in it for his body? I ad able to find roo in this world Seriously!”

“I-I’m not in it for his bod-”

Lilly’s face went red

“You say that, Zan, but…”

Takeya jumped to Lilly’s defence

“Why you are you leading us to the student council room if you think it’s a fantasy?”

The student council rooic It is the only place on school grounds where ic can be used, and no one can enter unless they are accompanied by a student council member

Why does the student council rooement? It is because the student council is responsible for co White Noisette’s wishes to the rest of the students

Out of all the students, the student council are the closest to her They also have the strongest inclinations to obey her Soht pledged their loyalty to her

As a member of the student council, Zan is no exception

“Why a you there?”

Zan sighed

“I knohat you’re like You’re the kind of guy that’ll never go back on his decisions no matter how much evidence comes up to the contrary If I didn’t, you’d just find another student council ht I, as your old friend, would take on the duty so you don’t bother them

“I will also say that it is partly because I believe that even if you were to discover a way of defeating the irl, there is absolutely no way you would be able to actually pull it off”

“Ah, I see But thanks anyway”

Zan said nothing in response and remained silent as he took a step toward the door to the student council roo like the practically-ruined school It was dark red, almost like a toy

He grabbed his student council armband and raised it at the door That is how they open it

The insignia on the arht poured out of the door as it opened It was an intense light, the kind of which would never be seen in the natural world

The red door did not open Rather, it disappeared

What replaced it in front of Takeya’s eyes was not a rooical vortex It looked like ether

Takeya’s chest started pounding He gulped and tentatively put his hand in the vortex

The vortex had no feeling, no te up It felt absolutely horrible Like he was freezing, like there were needles coursing through his veins

“When I see so like this, I understand”

Lilly nodded

“She really is a monster”

As long as a e Her appearance is fixed anywhere between 10 to 16 years old

It is said that when transforer than humans and that even if any part of theenerate There’s even a story of one getting blown to pieces and returning to normal within a minute

They can only be daic Transfore There is no way for ic-less humans to kill them So does that mean they are impossible to kill?

Indeed, it is impossible Or at least, that is what Zan and Lilly say But Takeya was focusing on a certain attribute of theirs: even irls must eat

It seems like they simply cannot co-exist with humans, but that is not true In fact, it is the opposite They are essential food for a irl There is no way they would drive humans to extinction

That is why White Noisette caical girls also rounded up huh their methods differ

We will not give her food If we can do that, can we kill her…?

That which does not eat will die This is a law of nature There is no telling whether irls, who exist outside of nor But they definitely eat meals, so starvation

“So, that is your theory?”

The student council president, Onizaki Reki, said, then paused for a while

The student council rooyround seeoes on forever

Even where Takeya’s feet stood, he could not tell where the floor was It was like he was standing in the air or on the sea

There are no rules Concepts such as left and right, up and down, and front and back are all incomprehensible Deformed fish and birds happily swim and fly around They do not abide by their traditional practice of flying through the sky or swih the entire area

“Ah, what a fun atht say, but the reality was horrible

If I dared to stay in this room for any extended period of time, I’d lose my mind

The student council vice president, Rairen Leila, was standing next to Takeya and the rest, wearing four sabres on her body and her arms crossed

She hides her age froence and adult face are accentuated by her thin silver glasses The cold narrow eyes behind those glasses gave off a strong impression that she was ready to cut down Takeya at any ti on how the conversation went

And indeed, Takeya was fully prepared for that After all, they are student council et There were five of the Zan They had no interest in Takeya’s fantasizing of methods to defeat White Noisette and offered him suitably bored looks

In the deepest part of the room, there were desks and chairs scattered about chaotically The big heavy desk that the president seeht out of a fairy tale The japanese sword on top of it even more so It had a different feel froical girl would allow to exist in this space

And sitting behind that desk, stretched out in a majestic chair without a care in the world was the est human around, student council president Onizaki Reki His eyes were fixed on Takeya

“Let’s start hy Why are you telling us, the people loyal to White Noisette, your ideas on how to kill her?”

Reki asked Takeya, his entire body save hisstill

Reki is androgynous, with long hair you could easily roll fingers through without getting tangled, a truly beautiful youngthere like a work of art not evenan eyebrow, he looks like a lifeless mannequin

It’s hard to believe that at 16 years old, he’s younger than Takeya

Seriously… He has such a weird aura

There is a fitting story as to why he is called the strongest human

When he was first locked in Sorakara Farirl many ti his katana

The idea that he is able to go up against an eneer than any hulance

However, in a way it irls cannot die, but they can feel pain Even if they are not killed, even they ive in to an eneh there is no one except Onizuka Reki that can even hope to achieve this

He does not rebel against White Noisette even though he has this power On the contrary, he cuts down those who oppose her without so e of facial expression

Takeya had no idea what he is thinking If he’s that strong, why the hell does he obey her? Or perhaps it is because he is that strong that he understands the sheer difference in power between hiirl?

In any case, the only thing that is certain is that telling the student council, which serves White Noisette, his plans to kill their master is practically suicide If it is seen as rebellion, it would be entirely norht then and there by Reki or Leila

But he did it despite that, or indeed, because of that

“I fully intend to kill White Noisette In order to do that, everyone in Sorakara Farether Everyone”

“I see You’re thinking that if you don’t convince the student council first, nobody else will follow you And conversely, if the student council of all people rebel, the rest of the students ake up and follow, and she will have a total war on her hands”

“Exactly I want you to be absolutely dedicated to killing White Noisette as well”

One of the female council members couldn’t hold herself back anymore and shouted hysterically back at Takeya

“Stop screwing around! There is no ould kill White Noisette!”

“I’ around at all I intend to cooperate with you as well if possible”

“An insult! This is an insult!”

The girl unsheathed her sword and charged straight at Takeya

Takeya did not have time to react to such a sudden attack He had no chance to take any evasive manoeuvres

Clang

But Takeya remained unharmed

“Vice president… Why…?”

Leila had also drawn her sword and blocked the girl’s attack

“Aren’t you disgusted by the crap he’s spouting?!”

“My feelings are irrelevant As the president has yet to decide what should happen, your attacks are rash and need to stop That is all Please reflect on your actions”

The girl made a sour face and put her sword back in its sheath

She really was out of control, but nobody here thinks she did anything strange

Takeya’s surprise was like the kind one would find in a haunted house The fact she tried to kill hi What surprised him was the sheer suddenness of it

This world is filled with death Killing and being killed are co so such a grave conversation

Takeya took a moment to reassess the situation He could lose his life with one stupid , like a battle

Part 2

“Well then, let’s continue”

Not even the recent fight was enough to make Reki raise his eyebrows

“And how exactly do you intend to stop White Noisette fro?”

Takeya regained his bearings and started talking again

“We restrain her There is at least one case of it being done successfully before President, with someone as powerful as you and the support of the rest of the students, would it not be possible?”

“We will have to sacrifice a lot of people, but it may be possible”

“Then let’s do it!”

“That’s easy to say, isn’t? Those sacrifices are human lives Are you able to shoulder that kind of responsibility?”

Takeya was lost for words for a moment

“I certainly can’t puff ht to decide other people’s fates But if we just continue doing nothing, we’re just going to end up dead”

“Won’t we also die if we lose White Noisette’s divine protection?”

Divine protection?

Those words sent Takeya, who had initially been unsure of how Reki felt about White Noisette, flying into a rage

She’s keeping us as cattle but he’s talking like she’s some kind of saviour I can’t allow that!

“Divine protection?! Don’t stop thinking just because she see you’re no different from an animal! You must know that White Noisette will eat the student council members as well! There will be no exceptions There will be no special treatet killed one day What the hell are you doing? Do you want to fuck her or so?!”

“T-Takeya! You’re going too far! You’re going to get yourself killed!”

Lilly grabbed Takeya and held him back

“I-I apologize, President He’s panicking because soive hiive him!”

Lilly desperately petitioned for forgiveness

Reki’s eyebrows htly For someone whose eyebrows had not ed at, Takeya thought it was a truly rare sight And with that rare sight, Takeya finally calmed down

“Sorry Lilly Thanks”

“Never ize to the president!”

Takeya shouted “I apologize!” and bowed his head, but he realized…

I’et executed

There is no way out

The negotiations were going badly, but Takeya had just made it even worse There is no way that Reki, who treasures order over all else, would forgive such things being spoken of in front of the student council There is little chance that the rest of the council, who adore Reki, would let it slide either

Even Leila, who should be ave the signal, they would execute Takeya without a moment’s hesitation
