Late at night, Ino House.Passing through the hallway to the living room where the phone was, Ino glanced at the time displayed on it through the faint light of the phone.00：55。
Silently waiting for the time to come, when the time on the phone screen jumps to 01:00 at the moment.Ino picked up the phone and said into the microphone, "Keiko-san, Keiko-san, can you hear me?"
”In the microphone of "......", there was a constant beep.Just when Ino thought that all of this was just a strange rumor circulating at school."
I heard it~" On the other end of the microphone, there was a sudden burst of chuckles.......
"What is this?"
”The next day, Municipal Horikawa High School."
What are you looking at, Endo?"
After changing his shoes and looking at his friend who was still in a daze in front of the shoe cabinet, Shimada's face couldn't help but show a puzzled expression.Following the direction of Endo's daze, he noticed the envelope in the other party's shoe cabinet, and the expression on Shimada's face immediately became gossipy."
This can't be a love letter, right?""
It's really your endo, let's see what is written in it, whether it's a confession!"
Looking at the envelope that appeared in Endo's shoe cabinet, Shimada's expression was even more excited than his client, and he looked at the surrounding situation expectantly, Shimada said in a hurry: "Perhaps, the person who left the love letter is secretly watching you nearby, Endo." ”"You're exaggerating, Shimada."
In the babbling and shouting of Shimada on the side, Endo's face showed a helpless expression.Looking down at the envelope in the shoe cabinet, although he didn't care on the surface, the slightly upturned curvature of the corners of his mouth showed that Endo's inner emotions at the moment were far less calm than they seemed on the surface.After all, such a thing as a love letter, even for Endo, is the first time it has been received.He wasn't a very good student in school, neither as heterosexual and eye-catching as the First Army, nor was he unlucky enough to be the target of bullying like the Third Army, as an ordinary Second Army, everything seemed so ordinary, but the envelope that appeared in the shoe cabinet at the moment made Endo's high school career no longer ordinary.With this 'confession', perhaps the group of the First Army will look at him differently.Thinking of this, Endo took a deep breath and reached out to pick up the envelope in the shoe cabinet amid the expectant gaze of Shimada beside him.However, in the next second, when he read clearly what was written on the envelope, the expression on his face instantly froze.I saw that on one side of the envelope, the two big words 'suicide note' were clearly written."
What, it turned out to be a prank, I'm still looking forward to it."
On the side, reading the words written on the envelope, Shimada also cooperated with a disappointed expression.He looked at the words on the envelope, then at Endo, and then asked, "Endo, did you offend someone in school recently and got so bad?"
”Stuffing an envelope with a suicide note in the shoe closet looks like a nasty prank."
Nope."
Shaking his head, the huge gap from the love letter to the suicide note made Endo a little difficult to accept for a while.Looking at the suicide note in his hand, Endo hesitated for a moment before opening the envelope."
No, Endo, you're still going to watch something like this obvious mischief."
Seeing Endo take out the stationery in the envelope, Shimada couldn't help but say."
I want to see what's written in there."
The letter folded in half was opened, and the contents of the suicide note were surprisingly simple.'
I, Endo, will die in three days!
’There was a short sentence on the letterhead, leaving a message in Endo's name that he would die in three days."
I just said Endo, it's just a prank."
On the side, reading the contents of the letter, Shimada pouted and said with an expression that I knew."
Looks like you're right."
Crumple the letter paper in your hand together with the envelope and throw it into the trash can next to the shoe cabinet.Endo said with an unhappy expression, after all, no matter who received a suicide note written in his own name, he would not be too cold.I cleaned up my mood and left with Shimada.As he was about to leave the door, Endo turned his head to look in the direction of the shoe closet, which was empty and empty.…… Pass by the school clearing.Endo's gaze swept over the corner that was obviously different from the surrounding open space, and when he turned his head, he saw a police car parked in front of the school."
What's going on, why are the police coming to school?"
Looking at the students gathered around, Shimada stepped forward with a curious expression, patted a classmate who was watching, and asked."
I heard that several female students in a class died, and the police came to investigate the situation.""
What?!"
Hearing the death of a student from the same school, Shimada's face suddenly showed a surprised expression, and he glanced at Endo behind him, and both saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes.“…… It's the parents of those female students.,When I woke up in the morning, I found them dead at home.,It's said that the death of several of them at that time was very horrible.,Shriveled up as if they'd been dead for a long time.,The appearance is exactly the same as Keiko-san who dug up from the time capsule not long ago.,So some people speculate that someone called Keiko-san......
I heard that the dead students were bullies, and someone once saw them punching and kicking people in the toilet......
"The death of the school students, and the arrival of the police, apparently had a huge impact on the teaching of the municipal Horikawa High School that day.Therefore, after the emergency staff meeting, the school issued a notice to take a day off.......
"Important Notice, Important Notice ......"
"Pass by School......
It is decided that all classes after ten o'clock this morning will be cancelled, and all students will be ordered to ......
"Municipal Horikawa High School, art department."
Teacher, something seems to have happened at school, school is out early today?"
Sitting around a large number of plaster statues, Inoue heard the announcement on the radio and said to the art teacher on the side."
Something big must have happened, otherwise, the school would not have been able to give notice of temporary leave."
Looking up and listening to the content of the radio, Tanaka turned his head to look at Inoue, who was still trying to stir the plaster, and reached out to support the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "Otherwise, Inoue will go back first, and the rest of the teachers will be alone." ”"It's okay teacher, anyway, I don't have anything to do even if I go home now, so it's better to stay here and help you finish the rest of the works, after all, there is not much time left before the exhibition, and if you don't speed up the progress, it will really be too late......".
