Vol 3 Chapter 7 (1/2)
There is a reason for the bullied
And the bully creates results
1
What in the world is th? Similar to the basis of fortune and th and weakness is siu other than yourself is strength, and supporting everything other than yourself is weakness And if that is not the case, when you decide on so, then you require a basis and intervals
Is is sie existence? or perhaps physical durability, or perhaps mental durability? Those who stand at the top of the stairs disdaining others cannot be called the strongest Yet being able to perfor talented in every skill, sih end Perfecting a single ability beco what you want, nor the ability to eradicate all Undefeated and invincible alone does not point toward the strongest Honor and pride are both relational Then what exactly, what is similar and what is equal, such that one can deterest -- the more you think about it, the
Yet if you put forth these reasonings, she would probably flash a nihilistic smile as always, and answer like this--
I aest there needs be no reason
”You know”
Aikawa-san raised both arms, as if to show off her pure red outfit, and looked at Hime-chan and I at once Her face still had a cynical smile plastered
”I need this for the climax, y'know? When it's showti, it just doesn't feel right Nah nah, I left the academy for aup ht Sorry I'm late, Ii-tan”
Hi Why Aikawa-san was there, no, why she was in a different place than Aikawa-san, as if she could not comprehend
”I do nottime at the last ht, Aikawa-san?”
”I said don't call me by my surname the only ones that do are ene, as she fixed her gaze on Hi to call me?”
”Ah, uh--”
”What're you up to, hmm?”
” ah”
”I' what you're up to? Eh?”
”Is this--”
Hime-chan
”Is this the end, just like that?”
Hime-chan still shook
”Why--”
With her shaking voice But with all her ht
”-- why did it go bad?”
With a soft voice that threatened to disappear, she screamed in pain
”What rong? What?” Hiht I thought a lot, and it should have gone well, but Hi bad?”
” Hime-chan”
”Is that, why everything went so wrong?”
”Like that”The more you plan, the ht too round there Ahh, ahh, the hallway's covered with blood now Jeez -- do y'all have nothing better to do? Puh-lease, don't tell ic?”
Aikawa-san scratched her head, her body language expressing how much she considered this all a pain in the ass, and also how hed, a short sigh that lasted forever
”Logic only means one plus one is two Thesis just ic then go read ait to that elementary crap -- are you serious!?”
She shouted
She was no longer laughing -- she was angry
Extrery
”It's over or this is the end or stop howling and howling you pathetic loser! I'me even redder! Ahh? If you survive alone you'll call it everything ell? You start it and then end it and are you kidding me? This idiotic play never had a chance retard! Brats without any reasonable trauma need to shut up and put up! Don't make me punch you!”
” ah Auh”
Hi down her cheeks as she took a step back, pushed back by the ier had that disco In front of Aikawa Jun, she had no coes would only backfire against Aikawa-san Hime-chan must know that well That hy she wanted to keep Aikawa-san on her side
No -- that was not the reason
There was that, too, but Hime-chan just wanted, simply
”Not funny -- not funny at all, to h! Everyone and everyone looks away frootta do, and then theyaround like dirty scu a slob! It's simple, don't slack! Why don't you people stand up straight! Stop slouching!”
I said
I said, we cannot do that
Hime-chan, and myself
Yet still, Aikawa-san's fury did not end
”Stick out your chest, straighten your back, be proud of yourself, howl at the eneo and don't end it yourself! Do you brats want to be sy other people into your own narcissism, and if you want to brood then brood by yourself, no one knows or cares about how you freaks feel! Stop rejecting everything for beans and stop carelessly accepting! I don't care about other stuff, at least decide your own stuff!”
” shut up!”
Hiuts down and then stared -- at Aikawa-san The tears were no longer there Nowhere She no longer had the eyes of a young girl -- but rather the eyes of Zig Zag, cut apart so been cut apart
Everything was an act
Innocence and recklessness And action and fondness
If everything was an act -- she could still have been saved
”This is the end! Everything was found out I killed people -- I broke a promise and I betrayed--”
Betrayed and betrayed and betrayed
Deceiving allies before deceiving enemies
Just repeating that over and over again
Hime-chan was painful to look at It was hard to look at her Very, hard to just abandon her
”Just stop, Hime-chan--”
”Shut up shut the hell up and zip it! Stop calling me by that name! You act so intimate!”
Hilared at me With her eyes wide open Not a hint of innocence or cuteness Yet, , her expression invited pity
”Stop being kind! Stop acting up and trying to be friendly! That stuff -- is disgusting!”
” Hime-chan”
”What's with that face? Is it sad? Are you trying to syrateful story But -- the dean and Saijou-chan, Hagihara-san aren't the only ones”
And then she flashed eyes that were filled with hatred from the bottom of her soul, such a mismatch for her, and with a look of pity
”Why -- do you think faculty and security never showed up?”
They had no chance of showing up, because that had been taken care of before I snuck into the academy--
I iined
Faculty ward Faculty room
One floor beneath the dean's room -- in a closed location
The mountain of death and rivers of blood that sprawled over the closed area
Murderer, was not sufficient
Serial killer, was also not right
Restricted to this area
Restrained by walls on four sides, there was no chance of seeing that appearance The living -- nor the dead Until the collapse, there is no chance of seeing
And then --
When it collapses, it is too late
”This school is over, either way”
”You're right, that ht be true,” Aikawa-san answered ”But I won't let you end”
She pointed at Hime-chan
”I won't let it end”
” I said! It's enough, Aikawa-san! That's enough of an end!”
Hi out both of her arms
Fip fwip -- like the cries of children, the sound of air being sliced echoed through the hallway, and at the end of it was Aikawa Jun The size and the speed made it impossible to track them Yes, the moment one stepped foor inside this hallway, the indisputable fact was that one stepped into Hime-chan's spider nest In this visibility, even est, within this sealed, bus that attacked at full force frole
Yet, the contractor--
Did not even try to dodge
Invisible string wrapped around Aikawa-san's body Hime-chan did not expect this either, and she froze She looked at Aikawa-san in surprise, and Aikawa-san venomously answered
”What? Did you wantnow? Or is it so else, like, hahah, you wanted me to finish you?”
” uh, guh”
”Spot on was it? But too bad- I loooooooove you So I'o easy on you at the easiest of the easy levels Don't think I'll kill you that easily I'ain be able to get away froht, soet fixed”
”Stop, screwing, around-!”
Hime-chan shook tat-tat as she bit down hard on her bottoe -- at Aikawa-san Or perhaps a warrior's excitement -- as a berserker
”But you know, you've gotten better, I'll praise you there You didn't even need to put weights at the end of the strings to throw them this accuratelyyou have a nice career in circuses waiting for you What are you, Yamashi+ro Takuya? I can't believe you mastered this pain-in-the-ass skill Or what is it? Has Hiotten over that?”
She was obviously goading, laughing at Hi in an inordinately superior position -- despite being in her own territory, her face twisted at the hu insulted, and she yelled
”It's already checket it, Aikawa-san!”
”Fresh-made pawns shouldn't howl on their own Unfortunately for you, I was born a Queen -- including kings, checkmates on lesser pieces don't matter to me”
Hime-chan set her resolve -- and yet for onewith her resolve, she raised both arms at once--
”The end! Your line of thought--”
And then the end--
”Then first, despair I've been pissed, fucking brat”
And then--, it s, but in a kind way, Aikawa-san smiled-- and then--
”And don't worry You and I, there's no e can be cut apart”

The end -- right before it was brought down, Hime-chan herself, crumpled to the floor of the hall Or rather, she see down, as her upper body was tugged forth, knocking her off balance With an expression of bewilderment, onto the floor of the hall she clumsily fell, face down
” what? Huh?”
”What's wrong? Didja slip? Hmm?”
Aikawa-san -- of course, was not diced up With an attitude of complete dominance, she had a thin smile Hime-chan tried to quickly stand back up, but that failed, too, as if she was struggling with gravity, and once again fell face-first to the floor
As for Aikawa-san -- it did not seee, there was nothing that Aikawa-san could do Since she had no projectile weapons, unless she used so to trip Hime-chan--
No
Did she move a bit?
”It looks like you're using a lot of types of string touser attacks always are the sae The sauess Then there're twothat -- the first is to move slowly The other is to move quickly”
It was clearly paradoxical, what Aikawa-san said Hi to stand up, but every ti, she would trip and fall without being able to brace herself As if -- as if she were beingyou cannot see
”-- Ah”
”Get it? Ii-tan Yup, that's it As long as I'ht there -- it ardless of where else it loves Then it's siers or arth, and faster than her speed”
When I realized it -- again, Aikawa-san was standing in a different place And at the sa pulled, fell down again It was the sa However, Hiers, that was all the motion she needed In that sense, Hime-chan's s user The speed of the motion to raise and lower her are By co, but she also had to move her entire body Because of this, it was not as simple as it may possibly sound
”The vulnerability for strings as a tool of killing is that there's a ti is decisive againstis -- it's still one-hundred years too late for er wins -- it's the sa-of-war, Ichihith is necessary, eh? I don't knoas I , this is just an accessory Hah, I toldja this is just a circus act If all you can kill is so immobile, then you can't be a serial murderer, just the same”
”Sh- shut up-- shut up shut up--” Hilared at Aikawa-san, still sprawled on the floor ”Th- this--”
Of course This is i an entire body faster than she can ers is unbelievable As if Aikawa-san were not fast but rather than I a and that Hime-chan and I were simply observers, as if this instantaneous movement that was just like ESP were ordinary
There was no ti toat the same time It was not that her action was fast, but rather the action from the action to the action was fast
”Ahh, ahh I shoulda figured this is all there is to a brat,” Aikawa-san raised her jaw and with a dry, round ”I was right, a death , so I'm done”
”Done? Stoparound -- if that's the case, I can still work around it!” Hime-chan wailed ”And, even if you can block a direct attack, as long as you can't get inside this zone, Aikawa-san--”
