Vol 4 Chapter 4 (2/2)
“Eh?”
I thought he'd just added a weird condition
“Wait, just wait a sec, Yuuji!”
I tried to stop hiame anyway
“‘astronaut’“
Astronaut…Ah, what? Great, I think I’ve heard it before This shouldn’t be a proble
I’, astronaut, astrout……asront……
(asphalt):The black material used to pave a road, main composition is carbohydrate
Should be so like this
“Akihisa, do you know the answer?”
There’s a smile on Yuuji’s face as he probably thinks that I don’t know Hmmph You are too naive, I’m not an idiot all the time
“Of course I do”
In order to contend with him, I let out a smile It’s my win this time
“Oh? Why don’t you say it then?”
I didn’t say the answer directly in order to rattle Yuuji
“It is ht?”
“I won”
Yuuji declared himself as the winner instantly as if I were an idiot – I, I still haven’t given the answer
“How can you make such conclusions when you haven’t heard ame ends!”
“Hehe, not giving up eh? Think about it, how can the term ‘astronaut’ be used for roads?”
“……”
(astronaut) : Asphalt? Nope, it’s astronaut
“……I made this mistake because I was careless……”
“Wait! I think this word is too simple to be mistaken carelessly!”
Such a sha uard down too soon
“I guess a loss is a loss……I’ll just admit defeat then, Yuuji”
If results can only be classified in circles and crosses, et a cross this tih to admit my mistake
“If you won’t admit your mistake no matter what, then you aren’t fit to be human……”
Yuuji looked at me with frustration What, what'?
Yuuji’s turn has ended, and now it’s mine –
“Now it’s Kirishi+ma-san’s turn to ask the question”
“……I’ll do my best”
Kirishi+ behind Yuuji, nodded She looks mature on the outside, so she looks cute when she does sohtly childish like this

“Ack! Sho, Shouko?! When did you……”
Yuuji panicked and turned his head hastily Huh? He really didn’t notice her?
“I thought……she was there all along e started this game”
“……I came over instantly when Yuuji said ‘the loser will heed the winner’s instruction without any questions’”
I see Kirishi+uess she’s not only s
“Ok, then it’s Kirishi+ma-san’s turn to ask and Yuuji’s turn to answer”
“……I understand”
“Wait, wait aus?”
“I don’t think it’s good to say this e’ve couy who uses those kind of excuses to escape, Yuuji”
That’s what Yuuji had said If I were to repeat his lines, I didn’t think he can do anything
“Oh…I I’m fine with that! I’ll answer it correctly no matter what the question is!”
Luckily, Yuuji’s easily manipulated in this situation; I don’t have to waste so much effort
“That’s more like it Kirishi+ma-san, you can start now”
“……Ok, let me think –“
Shouko was holding her jaw, as if thinking what she should ask
“……’betrothed’”
Ta! (Yuuji turned around and tried to run)
Ka! (I grabbed his shoulder)
“Yuuji, where do you think you’re going?”
Yuuji tried to escape the scene once Kirishi+ to run away because you can’t answer? Too naive, just too naive
Even so, it’s not that I couldn’t understand Yuuji’s feelings I did find it a little boring that he got the death penalty at the first question
“Kirishi+ma-san, I think it’s too cruel to just kill hie your question?”
“……Okay then”
Nodding silently, Kirishi+ood heart
“’prize’……it’s ‘prize’ right[3]?”
This time Yuuji answered rather fluently Shouko said “Correct” naively then proceeded to the next question
“……’as’”
“’as’”
“……’engage’”
“’engage’”
“……’get’”
“’get’”
“……’betrothed’”
Ta! (Yuuji turned around and tried to run again)
Ka! (I grabbed his shoulder again)
“As I was saying, where do you think you’re going, Yuuji?”
“Akihisa, let o quickly!”
Oh, trying to run away just because you can’t answer, that’s just too sly
“You bastard! After hearing those English words, you should kno scared I am by now”
Let ageuess a?
“Hahaha, Kirishi+ed, so how can we afford an engage……”
“……Ah”
A jewelry shop catalogue fell from Kirishi+ma-san’s hand accidentally
“……Just joking”
Afterthese words, Kirishi+ue from the floor embarrassedly
“……”
“Hahaha, Yuuji I feel worried because you keep whispering ‘I’’ into my ear”
I will never forget those blank eyes
“Alright, Yuuji, hurry up and answer”
“’betrothed’ ah……’betray’ is ‘betray’, so does ‘betrothed’ means ‘betrayed’?”
“Kirishi+ma-san, what is the correct answer?”
“……It’s Yuuji”
“Does it mean a death row convict?”
“……It means ‘fiance’”
I see, so “betrothed” meant a fiancé
“I guess Yuuji lost for saying the wrong answer As promised, you’ll have to follohatever Kirishi+ma-san says”
Yuuji’s expression is becoloomier It’s really rare to see such a blissful moment
“Shouko, you just said that……it’s a joke, right?”
“……Yeah, the engage was a joke”
To even prepare the catalogue just for a joke, Kirishi+ma-san is so mischievous
“Just say it, what do you want me to do?”
“……I want –“
Kirishi+ head and spoke softly,
“……I’m too shy, I can’t say this in front of others……”
“What? What do you really want me to do?”
A request too shah it seems unlikely, I still feel that this is related to what Muttsurini likes best
“……You actually wanted me to say it in front of everyone, Yuuji? You’re so perverted”
“GO TO hell, YUUJIIIII!!!!”
“Why are you attacking !”
“Shut up! Explain everything, including the “kissing Kirishi+!”
“Wait! I don’t re Actually it’s……”
“……Not just a kiss”
That line released the first seal in my body
“I’ll let you have a taste……of the ra my envy and hatred!”
“Uh oh! I can’t see Akihisa’s movements!”
“……After kissing, we even slept together”
Second seal released
“Ugh! Ho can it be…I’th……”
“……It was so comfortable”
Last seal released
“And there’s a clone of you – No, is it an afterie!? You are not human anymore!!”
“My heart that is ‘so envious that I want to kill you’ can do the impossible!”
“Consider yourself lucky! Since things have becoet serious too!”
The 3rd floor of the new school building was filled with a burnt smell caused by the friction of shoes soles at this point
“Haa, haa, haa……Nearly lost my life there……”
“Did, didn’t think that Ironman……would, would actually appear at that kind of place……”
We’re back in Class F Yuuji and I were having a life and death battle at the 3rd floor of the new school building We never expected Ironman to appear suddenly, and we barely escaped fro to our class
“But, our, our objective……can be considered……accomplished……”
“That’s, that’s right……the, the other students should’ve seen it……right……”
Before the long chase with theIronman, students from Class A to D came out to the corridor to see what all the ruckus was about Just like this, Yuuji’s goal is accomplished
“Hoo……I think asted a lot of tiht on schedule Is Muttsurini back?
“I’ll take a look……”
I looked around the classroom, and Muttsurini happened to return as his profile caht
“Oh, so you’re back How’s the mission of the false reports?”
“……Everything is going according to plan”
Not showing off deliberately, Muttsurini gave us a straight answer
How should I say though? He looks rather professional now
“……Just say what is needed to be done next”
“Good Let’s wait for Himeji to return, and then we’ll take the next step”
Himeji-san was nowhere in the class, so shethat jelly If I could help it, I really hope that Himeji-san will be merciful
“As I was saying, Yuuji, you actually thought through so much just to make her cook What do you actually want to do?”
You still want Himeji-san to cook in such a critical situation I don’t think it's just to get back at ot some trick up his sleeves
“Himeji’s food will be our assassination weapon”
If the person herself personally heard such an explanation, she’d be really hurt
“assassination weapon? On who?”
“That B class guy, of course”
“But, will Neive him? He will be suspicious of our movements”
Due to Nemoto-kun’s personality, it wouldn’t work, even if it’s someone else other than us I couldn’t think of any way to make him eat it easily
“No, our target isn’t Nemoto Even if we assassinate him, we can’t stop Class B’s operation”
I thought about the intel that Muttsurini brought Neave the order for war by that ti
“Our actual target is the er sent by Class B to Class D I think Class B is trying to form an alliance with Class D”
“Alliance?”
“Once the false reports Muttsurini spreads reaches their ears, Class B will commence their counter At that time they’ll really find Class D to start an alliance If just sending a , I think they’d do it”
I see Class B will try to negotiate secretly with Class D just to evade an upco war
“Eh? Wouldn’t it be worse this way? If the Class B er were to start an alliance with Class D, wouldn’t our false reports of ‘Class D i attack on Class B’ be found out?”
If they were to find out about the false reports that we spread, our plan to buy tiuys fro their points Won’t we be waiting for our deaths?
“That’s why I need Class B’s er is down for the count, Class B will acknowledge the hostility of Class D towards them If so, they can’t form an alliance, and it’ll also increase the suspicion towards each other”
How can this guy think of such treacherous ideas? From this day on, I’ll be careful not to become his enemy
“But, if you are to assassinate him, why not with a taser? I don’t think you have to trouble Himeji-san to cook just to poison him”
“If we use a taser, his cries will be heard, and we’ll be caught”
“Just cover his mouth then”
“Are you a moron? If we do it that e’d be electrocuted too”
“But……”
Even without using Himeji-san’s food, there should be other er
“Don’t think too much I chose Himeji’s food just to fulfill my personal interest”
Just when Yuuji’s saying this line that totally inhumane and lacks empathy for my life—
“Eh? Sakamoto-kun, you really like my food?”
Himeji-san accidentally overhears his words
“Hi,hihi……Himeji……”
screechscreechscreech, Yuuji turned his head slowly and clumsily like a robot to look at Himeji-san
“That’s good, to hear you say that, I feel really happy But if Kirishi+ry”
Himeji then smiled happily
“Ha,haha,ha……”
I silently put my hand on Yuuji’s shoulder to console him
“Welcome to my world (thumbs up)”
“You damn bastard, what's with that hearty smile of yours that pisses me off?!”
Just like this, I have someone to accompany me For this trip to hell, the more the merrier
“I've also prepared Sakauys don’t mind”
Hi
“So, so uh……thanks for the trouble, I’ll keep it until I’ry”
“Me, me too, thank you, Himeji-san”
“No proble deal”
Himeji-san is just so innocent, which is why I can’t bear to say ‘hope you’ll cook soood’ I wouldn’t ood, I just hope that she won’tfoods that make us stand on the line between life and death
“If so, Akihisa, Muttsurini, let’s go”
“Understood”
“……Sure”
We carried our weapons in our hands and headed to the new school building where Class A to D are
(Wow, he really comes)
(Seeht)
In order to stay unnoticed, we hid near the stairs to observe Class B Soon after, we finally saw a guy came out from Class B
(There’s only one enemy Did you predict that too?)
(Ya, Class B is still busy replenishi+ng their points, they don’t havethe situation they are in, I guessed that they’d just send one guy to start the alliance)
That’s e need to assassinate him
That’s right If the enemy is a crowd, they’ll be hard to assassinate
(Will the assassination be smooth?)
(If we dispatch Muttsurini, this assassination will be absolutely successful Just watch with your eyes)
I stared harder as I saw that Class B guy walked towards Class D
There weren’t many people, but there were still at least three orby him each moment Hoe co the crowd?
The er only needs to walk a short distance from Class B to Class D In less than 30 seconds, he’d be knocking on Class D’s et nervous because of this……Muttsurini, aren’t you intending to make your move?
The er is only 5 meters away from Class D
(Yuuji, are you sure there aren’t any problems?)
As I asked Yuuji, the er didn’t slon
There’s still 3 meters
(Don’t worry, just believe in Muttsurini)
Two
(But, the distance is……)
But, just before the er was 1passed by ht out of a sudden
Ke!
(Huh?)
A ‘ke!’ sound ca on? I stared harder, and saw a utility knife was stuck into the wall……No; it’s not just a utility knife There’s a photo stuck on the ith the knife Is this just a different version of an arroith a e?
“What is that?”
“So seems to be stuck on it”
“Isn’t it a photo?”
Everyone was focused on the photo and utility knife, and those students walking around the corridors gathered under the utility knife – Eventually, even the Class B er walked towards the crowd
“……(Sha! Sha!)”
Muttsurini silently approaches the athered at the utility knife and the photo No one’s noticing what’s going on behind
“……(Ke!)”
“—Ugh! Ack!”
Thedeath craned his neck to take a peek at the photo, and the next second, he was choked from behind by Muttsurini with both hands as his ed, clearly stunned by this sudden turn of events
Then, Muttsurini’s hand is holding the weapon – There’s no mistake, that is Himeji-san’s jelly
“……squeezes”
“—Ugh!—Ack! Ugh!”
Through the gaps between his fingers, Muttsurini squeezed out the jelly through theto stop Muttsurini
Just as everyone was looking at the photo stuck on the wall, they were oblivious of a fight between life and death that just took place behind them
Yuuji and I watched this scene while holding our breath as the fight between Muttsurini and theto an end
Glug, glug……
The lethal poison slowly entered the er’s throat, accompanied by cool sound effects
“Ha……Ha…You……You are……Muttsurini……”
“……(squeezes harder)”
Facing the vengeful glare of a dying person, Muttsurini emptied the contents of the packet into his mouth mercilessly
The er’s hand suddenly jerked – and he wasn't even able to move in the next moment
Showing noan enemy, an assassin is a synonym of ruthlessness
File:BTS vol 04 169jpg
(……assassination complete)
Muttsurini walked towards us while holding the guy's limp body
(Awesome, your nimble wrist amazes me, Muttsurini)
(……There’s no need to )
Muttsurini remained unmoved as Yuuji praised him, and then threw the body into Class B with his nimble arms into a corner B class can see, but Class D cannot
(……With this, Class B will immediately find this corpse)
(Very good There is nothing left to be done, let’s go back to class)
(Right, I’ about what to do next)
We pretended to know nothing of what just happened as we turned around and headed for our Class F
“The girl in the photo earing a sailor uniform looks rather cute”
“Agree But, don’t you think that she resembles a certain idiot from Class F?”
“So what? I think it isn’t too bad, being cute is enough”
What’s going on? I’m rather bothered by the conversation behind me!
