After my meeting with Monica, the fortune teller, Jeanne called me, told me that she got new information about Maria the second.

It seems she is from a Russian organization, what they do, Jeanne still has not figured out.


The next day, i discovered that i could eat any kind of spicy dish without bothering about being spicy.

Also, my resistance rised up a lot, i don´t think even the me in Hysteria mode could have this level of resistance.

Reki is amazing.

And so my days were passing by...

Jeanne was getting more infomation about my enemy.

Now that i think about it, she´s helping me a lot, when this is over i´ll buy her a dress or clothes, well she said that girls like that kind of things after all.


Today was Friday, one day before weekend, after all my classes ended, Takamagahara-sensei called me.

"You really should rest..."

"I will do it, but why did you call me?"

Why is everyone saying that to me?

"The director wants to see you." Takamagahara-sensei said it with an agitated voice.

"All right."

I started to walk, but Takamagahara-sensei was not following me.

"..."

"He only wants to see you, only you alone, not even me know what he will discuss with you."

"I get it, thank you sensei."

After saying farewell to Takamagahara-sensei, i went to the place where i´ve the feeling i would come there again.


-Director´s office


...

"Tohyama-kun, the reason why i called you here, it is because i got a notification for you."

"Notification?"

"Read it and you will see."

W- what is this, someone died?

I didn´t want to read it, but i had to.

I openned the envelope.

Then i start to read what i´ve feared the most.

In every word that i read, the world around me was getting smaller, the time was stopping, everything was getting white, and when i read those words that i never wanted to hear or read, my heart seemed to stop beating.

...

...

...

...

Completely paralyzed, with a notification in my hand, i couldn´t hear nothing around me, coudn´t see anything around me, it´s like the time stopped...

No, the time really stopped...

...

...

"Tohyama-kun."

"a- ah..."

Right, now i was at the director´s office, the place where Reki was with me when we got expelled together that time but now...

Only i was there, only me and Midorimatsu the director were there.

"I am sorry for your loss."

This can´t be real...

You´re not dead right?

Reki...

...


-Outside Butei High


As soon as i left Butei High, i felt a drop of water in my eye.

...

Am i crying?

...

No, that´s not it, i looked at the sky.

"Rain..."

A sad smile appeared in my face.

A unwillingly one.

"What´s this..."

I´m losing my strengh, am i going to faint...?

My legs were not responding, i kneeled on the wet ground, no one was near, the rain was still falling.

I looked in front of me, and i saw a person all covered with a black coat, from the head to the feet.

Is this the so called Reaper?

But i couldn´t look at the figure anymore, because i fainted and fall on top of the wet ground.

This must be a dream right...

...


...

I oppened my eyes.

...

Although i didn´t need to look where i was, i looked.

"This place again..."

The place of my recent dream.

Right now that place was only plains covered with snow so white as paper.

And, as i expected in front of me, there she was, the girl who i´ve been trying to reach in these dreams.

But something now was different.

...

Well, that doesn´t matter.

I walked to where she was and stopped.

She looked at me.

"..."

Finally i could see her eye, the other was still covered by a black shadow.

I look at her eye and...

"Reki... ?"

But as soon as i said her name she turned her back on me.

"W- wait..." I reached my hand to her.

This time i´m going to reach you.

Or that was what i though until a gust of wind made a storm of snow that blocked my view.

Does this means, i must give up, because i´m never going to reach you?

Reki...

My last view from this dream was her eye that i saw thought the snow storm.

...


"Reki..."

I finally woke up, guess i´m not dead then.

I looked around me to see where i was, but the chances of me being in my apartment are low, in other words i´m sure i wasn´t there.

"Hello sleepy Kinji."

I looked at the voice´s direction, only to see a girl i didn´t recognize...

No, i know her, she is...

"Monica..."

The fortune teller, the transfer student from no one knows where...

"Mmmm."

I looked at her, right now she was not wearing her attire when i fisrt met her.

I could see her clearly, she is a beautiful girl with the probably the same height as Riko, her hair is as balck as the night.

But something is wrong here.

"You finally woke up." She came near me.

She was wearing a white t-shirt and sport short, i could say this burnette is dangerous for me but the HSS is gone.

Put this aside i looked at myself, only to see that i was only wearing my underwear.

"..."

"You wanted some skin to skin touch?" She said it with a joking smile.

I would normally reply to this kind of stupid question but right now i...

"Do what you want." I replied it with a sad voice.

"You were better the first time i met you."

Monica continued to talk to the lifeless me.

"Then yesterday you decided to fall down in front of me, on the wet ground, you got all wet because of that, that´s why i removed your clothes."

"I see..." I said it to her while looking down.

At least i will thank her.

"Thank y"

*PAF*

But before i could finish my line, Monica, with her two hands slapped my face.

With her hands still on both of my cheeks.

"Even a normal person would tell that your future will be only a wave of sadness if you stay like this."

Then she took out her hand off my face

"..."

"I want to..." At the same time i looked out the window on her apartment.

I could see it, 378 meters from here, Jeanne was running, the rain was still falling, i could see blood draining from her legs.

What?

She looked behind her when she was running.

I looked at the direction she was looking for, only to see four black suited man chasing after her.

Damn it.

I´ve a feeling she found out something that she shoudn´t, in other words, it´s my fault.

With that in mind i looked around Monica´s apartment, i saw an AWM near the wall.

"I´m going to borrow this." Without hearing any answer i picked up Monica´s AWM.

"What´re you doing?"

"Saving my friend."

"?" She looked at me with an amazement expression.

I ignored her and went to the window.

After making all the preparation needed to fire this sinper, i came near the scope with my right eye and.

*Bang**Bang**Bang**Bang*

"All right, thank you for the time being, i´m going now."

"E- eh, w- wait, w- what did you do?"

I went to get my clothes, i put them on, they were still wet but i´m fine.

Let´s go.

"Wait, i´m coming with you." Monica followed me.
