"Endo, where did you go yesterday?"
The next day, Horikawa High School.Shimada looked at Endo, who had come to school, and couldn't help but frown and look at his friend."
If you had any problems, you should have told me earlier.""
Your family called again, and I wanted to help you cover the past, but before I could pick up the phone, my dad picked it up, so I ......"
"It's okay."
Facing Shimada's explanation, Endo, who was in front of him, shook his head."
I've explained it to my family that yesterday I heard a new game hall open nearby on my way home, but I didn't resist the temptation to run late, I forgot the time, and I went back late.""
The newly opened game hall, why don't you talk to me."
Hearing the arcade mentioned by Endo, Shimada's attention was unsurprisingly drawn to the past."
I only found out yesterday."
Shrugging his shoulders, Endo said with an innocent expression."
Then next time we'll make an appointment and go have a look.""
No problem."
agreed to go to the newly opened game hall together next time, and the two walked into the teaching building one after the other.Coming to the shoe cabinet where the shoes were placed, Endo changed his shoes and put them in the empty cabinet, but turned his head to notice that the expression on Shimada's face next to him was a little strange."
What's wrong, Shimada?"
asked casually, and Shimada next to him stretched out his hand and pointed to his shoe cabinet under his gaze.I saw a letter lying there quietly in the cabinet."
Isn't it?!"
Seeing this letter, Endo's face showed a half-believing expression and he spoke."
Quite possibly."
Nodding, Shimada reached out his hand and picked up the envelope in the shoe cabinet and flipped it over.Sure enough, the two big words 'suicide note' on the front are clearly written on it.'
I, Shimada, will die in three days!
’Same envelope, same contents.However, the object of receiving the suicide note has changed from the previous Endo to himself.Shimada looked down at the suicide note in his hand, and in another situation, he was subjected to such a 'prank', and at this moment, Shimada understood Endo's feelings a few days ago."
This boring prank is not over yet."
Although there was some anger in his heart, Shimada didn't take the contents of this suicide note too seriously.After all, if what was said in the suicide note was true, then Endo, who was next to him, would have died a long time ago.Because according to the suicide note, the other party's last time ended yesterday.Even the envelope in his hand was crumpled into a ball of paper, Shimada stuffed it into his pocket casually, put on a nonchalant expression, looked at Endo on the side and said: "It seems that it should be that guy, watching pranks has no effect on you, so I replaced the object with me, but, obviously, he got the wrong target, so I won't take this kind of thing seriously." ”Nodding his head, looking at the 'suicide note' that Shimada stuffed into his pocket, Endo didn't say anything.When the other party changed his shoes, he grabbed the satchel in his hand and was about to turn around, as if he had pulled on a certain part of his body, grinning and gasping."
What's wrong, Endo?"
Noticing the expression on Endo's face, Shimada couldn't help but care."
It's nothing, it's just that I accidentally bumped my shoulder the day before yesterday."
Reaching out to cover his shoulder, facing Shimada's relationship, Endo shook his head and then opened his mouth to explain....... "......" carried his schoolbag and walked in the direction of the classroom.Along the way, Kojima noticed that the eyes of others looking at him were more or less strange, "Is it because yesterday I used a utility knife to cut the stitches, and everyone mistakenly thought that I was going to commit suicide." ”Sensing these gazes, Kojima's mind couldn't help but have such a thought.To be honest, although he was sad to break up with Mie, the red stitches that appeared on his body later had made Kojima not bother with the breakup for a long time.Compared with the sadness of the breakup, he is now more concerned about these red lines that appear on his body.Last night, he saw his grandmother, who had been dead for a long time, with a large group of people pricking needles on his body, thinking that there would be many, many stitches on his body, but he woke up in the morning and found that there was no problem with his body.Everything he saw yesterday seemed to be nothing more than a nightmare he had.If it's not grandma, then what are these red lines on your body?
With such doubts, I walked into the classroom.Not surprisingly, the classmates in the classroom looked at him with strange expressions.Ignoring everyone's gaze, Kojima sat down in his seat."
Kojima, didn't you look in the mirror in the morning?"
And at this time, a classmate who was usually familiar with Kojima finally spoke up and said a word to him."
Mirrors?""
What's wrong?!"
Hearing this question from his classmates, Kojima's heart felt a strong sense of unease for some reason.Ran out of the classroom and trotted all the way to the toilet."
What the hell is going on?!"
Looking at the red stitches on his face in the mirror, Kojima was even more shocked.It's really grandma who left a thousand needles on their faces."
Kojima, why don't you go to the infirmary......"
"I'm sorry, but your condition is not something that the infirmary can treat."
Because of the stitches on his face, Kojima suffered a lot of strange stares at school.Even the teacher sent him to the infirmary a few times, but apparently, even a regular dermatologist, let alone a teacher in the school infirmary, could not determine what was wrong with him.In this way, I got through the morning class in a daze.With such a look on his face, Kojima had no intention of eating at all.Of course, there will be no classmates to eat with him, because the situation on his face does not look like a normal appearance no matter how he looks.Alone, sitting on the stone chair at school, Kojima was full of resentment at this moment.If it weren't for grandma, if she hadn't taken those people to leave the so-called thousand needles on her face and body, she wouldn't have become what she is now.Around, many students passing by noticed the appearance of the island and moved away one after another.Some timid female students even let out screams unconsciously, obviously frightened by his appearance.And the reaction of these classmates only aggravated the resentment in Kojima's heart."
Kojima, you're really here!"
And just when the stone chair was on, Kojima felt sorry for himself.A familiar voice suddenly rang out in front of him.When I looked up, I saw that Mie was standing in front of her, looking at him with a disgusted expression.
