"You… really hate that girl?" Oko stuttered.

"Yeah, I guess I do." Taeko sadly admitted. She took another bite out of her onigiri, but the fear of Oko being poisoned persisted for some reason. She gazed from the rooftop to the school's garden on the far side. The girls of that club were all sitting together on their benches next to the greenhouse; Yanagi included.

"Perhaps she's a druid, or a fairy spirit." Oko was suddenly writing down notes about Uekiya. He was nodding to himself while eating from a gas station bought package of sushi. Taeko knew he'd get sick from that, but hopefully not die from it.

Taeko forced herself to laugh at his notion. "Maybe. So why are we eating up here instead of in the clubroom like usual?"

He pointed a chopstick at two girls several meters away, the Basu sisters. They always wore heavy makeup and thick lip gloss, a little superficial but not enough to warrent Taeko's dislike for them. She shrugged. "Okay?"

After stuffing another sushi in his mouth and swallowing, he said, "Inkyu, pink haired girl. I'm… I'm almost definite that she is a vampire."

"Evidence?" Taeko asked, deciding to let herself question herself into a rabbit hole of Oko's silly and cute thoughts of superstition.

He flinched then sat himself up tall. "I-I've seen Inkyu bite another boy's neck."

"Kissing them probably." Taeko giggled with rolled eyes.

"Wh-what!? No, she also doesn't appear in photographs, she isn't in the school photo!"

"She was sick that day."

"And Sakyu is a succubus! She been with almost every boy in the school. I've seen them enter bathrooms and closets and come out frazzled. I asked about her family and she walked away. Succubi aren't born of flesh!"

"Did you ever have a crush on her?" He opened his mouth to object but then shut it and looked away. Taeko laughed again. "I'm sorry, Oko, if you think they're supernatural beings, then they probably are, I believe you." She smiled at him, but oddly enough saw his face begin to turn into a pleasant shade of pink. She tilted her head and grinned. "Do you think I'm a succubus?"

"N-No! Never!" She looked away. "You're not evil…"

Taeko tilted her head and smiled warmly. Then the bell rang directly below them and in surprise, Oko nearly dropped all of his sushi. "O-Oh! We got to get to class…" She nodded and stood up about to take his hand to walk to class, but he restrained. "W-Wait… Taeko, I have to tell you something."

"What is it?"

He then slowly stood up and took a deep breath. "I talked to … someone. He said that… n-nevermind. Um, you really don't like Uekiya do you?"

She shook her head. "Of course not. I-I mean, she's nice it's just that…" she sighed. "She sort of stole a friend of mine. I shouldn't dislike Uekiya… but I kind of find myself feeling that way."

Oko nodded firmly. "That's all the information I needed."

"Why do you ask? Do you think you can do something about her?" Taeko suddenly found herself wanting a partner in crime in her killing endeavors, she wanted to tell Oko about how she felt about Yanagi and perhaps he'd help her, but she held herself back. No one would help her out, especially for just a stupid crush.

If it's such a stupid crush, why are you murdering classmates for him?

"I'm going to class. I'll talk to you later."

Taeko turned around and went down the stairs, trying to avoid Oko's words in her mind. Why would he ask her if she really knew if she really hated Uekiya? Something was wrong, but Taeko knew she couldn't do anything about it.


This is it, I'm finally going to really summon a demon. Oko was holding the ritual knife tightly in his grip, watching Uekiya tend to her garden. She waved goodbye to Yanagi who held his hands in his pockets. But on his way out, he met eyes with Oko. Oko gasped in surprise and pressed himself closer to the hedge.

Yanagi stared at him with those scarily cold eyes. But then he smiled like a long lost friend. "So you found a target?"

"Y-Yeah…"

"Why her?" He asked curiously.

Oko swallowed hard, he honestly never would tell Yanagi of his intense crush on Taeko. He wouldn't tell him why he decided to kill two birds with one stone, pleasing Taeko and fulfilling his childhood dream. He forced a grin back, "She… she did something bad to Taeko." Idiot! Why would I say that to Yanagi? It's obvious that she cast a spell on him too…

Yanagi shrugged. "Good a reason as any." With that empty grin, he kept talking, "I support you, Oko-kun. I think you should summon your demon, and I'll help you."

"Y-You will?"

"Murder is… sort of a crime." He went on. "Lure her to your clubroom, I'll keep a lookout for other wandering students and teachers outside the room. I'll even help you clean up after it's all done."

Oko wanted to accept, but a tingling sensation in him told him to not listen to this grinning monster, but curiously poked him in the side. "Why? Why are you helping a coward like me? You were glaring at me with murder in your eyes a few days ago when I was hanging out with Taeko."

"I'm her only friend." Yanagi said sympathetically, "And I'm glad to see her finally making another friend. And now that you're helping her out as well…" those eyes stared into him, and Oko found a tinge of a blood red underneath the grey. Was he wearing contacts? "It makes me so happy. Who knows? Maybe after all this, she'll even ask you out." Before Oko could object, "Come on, I know you like her."

"I-I do…"

"Then kill two birds with one stone." Yanagi's gaze floated back to the happy Uekiya in her garden, it seemed like she was getting ready to go. "Act soon, Oko. I'll wait for you outside the occult room. If you two aren't there in twenty minutes, I'm leaving." Without another word, Yanagi turned and walked back toward the building.

Oko swallowed hard. He walked into the garden. "U-Uekiya?"

"Uhh… yeah!" She turned to him, dirt covering her uniform. She was working out here all day it seems. "What do you need me for?"

"Th… The flowers outside my clubroom… they're dying."

"Have you been watering them daily?"

"Y-Yeah… but… they're still dying… can you please come take a look? I-I can't bring the pot out either cause it's so heavy."

Uekiya chuckled and walked past Oko, "Sure thing, I'll take a look at it before I head home."

Oko followed after Uekiya walking into the building. Since the occult room was on the ground floor, it didn't take long to walk there to see Yanagi. Uekiya tilted her head in confusion. "Where are the flowers?"

Oko noticed that the flowers were gone as well. Yanagi stood where they used to be. Yanagi shrugged. "You're looking for the flowers? Did one of your members move them?" His eyes glinted toward Oko, causing a strange slithering cold feeling go down his spine.

Oko swallowed, "O-Oh yeah, I think… Supana-chan moved them to the inside. She said that some flowers would spruce up the dark room." He winked at Yanagi nervously.

Uekiya groaned and rolled her eyes. "No wonder they're dying! They're in that dark and stuffy room." She opened the door and went inside the occult room, Oko following after her and closing the door and locking it with an ominous click.


Yanagi chuckled to himself as the screams of Uekiya echoed. He flipped open his phone and proceeded to walk away from the room. He dialed "110" and the operator picked up. "Hello, Akademi police services what is your emergency?"

"I saw a boy and girl enter one of the classrooms and now I hear screaming from inside. I think it might be serious, you should come down as soon as possible."

The operator said calmly, "What is your address?"

"Akademi High School, everyone knows where it is."

"And your nam-"

Yanagi hung up and walked outside of the building, the cool summer evening breeze pressing on his skin. It was only a matter of hours at this point where Oko is taken to the police station. Sure, Uekiya had to die, and he nearly threw up at the suggestion of Oko being able to go out with Taeko. But it was worth it to lure the chunibyo idiot to his own grave, and now he's only digging it deeper.

After about five minutes of walking home, he heard ambulances and police cars rolling through, screaming their sirens. Yanagi felt his phone vibrate from his pocket. With precision, he opened it to the text messages. It was Taeko.

"Did you get home? I know you decided to stay after school with Uekiya! (๑´・△・`)"

"I'm fine," he texted, "But I think Oko is in trouble."
