Part 1
The students and the residents of Sorakara City live their lives without a single thought about what's to come After all, they know the only future open to them is conflict with Red Sahne and her allies
Many, seeing the destruction around them, hesitated But it's no surprise that many of them were terrified
Nor such times The Family would coordinate the people, but with the death of its leader, Ijuuin Reika, it had beco to collect themselves, nevermind lead the city
But still, the city needed souide the to Onizaki Reki, who had already been leading the students of Sorakara Farm
Reki had, of his own volition, decided to continue Sorakara Farm and established its new base at the old Senridou University campus It had an abundance of real estate and facilities—both necessary to accomsapart around them minimal
Reki ordered a group of students to begin getting the University into a workable state while the rest continue cleaning up bodies around the city
Once the corpses were mostly cleaned up Reki told the student council functionaries to distribute a hout the city
'We will hold ato decide the future of Sorakara City'
Thiswas to be held in the University's courtyard
All seven hundred and five of the city's able-bodied residents were present Once upon a tiers frequently performed at the university, so it had a suitably spacious courtyard that could host all of the city's surviving residents
Under the grey skies, on the sie two actors were present Onizaki Reki, the representative of the people of Sorakara City, and Minazuki Takeya, the great criminal
Takeya, condemned to execution, was strapped to a s were chained and his ed
He was to be killed
The hell is this?
The crowd looked on Takeya with bloodshot eyes as they jeered and hurled insults at him Everyone hated him, despised him
It's exactly as I had thought I caused this, and with no other outlet, their frustrations have turned against me
”bastard! Hurry up and die!”
”My mother was taken away because of you! Accept your punishment!”
”Do you kno it feels as a parent to have your five year old daughter killed right in front of you? Do it yourself! Bite your tongue off!
”Atone with your death!”
But there's so seriously off here…!
Yet still, the anger and bloodlust of the crowd before hi numb
”Let's calm down for a moment”
Reki, the person responsible for putting him up there in the first place, stepped out in front
”There have been a great deal of ru Takeya Some of them are true, so as far to as to claiirl”
A trial without defence lawyers and a corrupt judge who has already decided on the guilt of the defendant Yet Reki spoke as if he represented the voice of the people
”I know everything We will stick to the absolute truth”
The crowd fell silent He had the them wrapped around his hand
”First ill cover how Red Sahne's subordinates broke White Noisette's 21 Confectionaries White Noisette, who uses hu This weakened herthem to enter”
That's different from what Usakoro said He said the cause of the break was Reki sneaking White Noisette'sin the classroom
”Why was White Noisette unable to eat? Because this man, Minazuki Takeya, had confined her and prevented her fro so”
How dare he say that! He's the one that caused this!
”The problem is!”
Reki continued without changing his tone
”The problem is that Takeya knew Red Sahne would strike when White Noisette's ic eakened”
A barefaced lie, but Takeya's gag prevented hi any objections
The city's residents didn't seem entirely satisfied either Hard as they may try to paint him as a traitor that sold everyone's souls off to Red Sahne it was hard to i with a human
But Reki seemed to expect that as well He continued with his usual unchanging facial expression
”Youlike that The answer lies in the sacrifice system His lover was chosen as the next sacrifice He wanted to protect her and her alone over everything else, even if he had to sacrifice everyone else to do it”
