"Honestly, i surprised to hear that you want to go to the student council room".
"Ng, what makes you think like that ?".
"After you got an incident with student council bodyguard, i think you will never mention student council again".
Student council bodyguard? Okay, that was interesting. I didn't know that student council had bodyguard.
"Um, is it that bad? Can you tell me what i told you ?".
"You just said that you met him when he tried to attack one of our students. Then, your head nearly got crushed by his hand. But well, thanks to your luck, Mukuro accidentally being in there and saved you".
"When I told you that ?".
"About one month ago".
Okay, that's important information. Damn, is there any way to make me remember my school memories?
"Haha, no wonder you think like that. By the way, do you know the student that being attacked ?".
"I don't know but wait! You are the one who met that student".
"Um, well, I forget it. So, did I described something about her appearance ?".
"You didn't say anything beside that student is a girl".
"Oh okay".
"Ah, wait...if i recall it correctly, you just said that when you saw her, it's kinda makes you remember Enoshima".
Well, that was important. So, short story, i met someone that similar to Enoshima when her being chased by student council bodyguard and saved by Mukuro when I nearly got killed. Mukuro accidentally being there was suspicious, so I could assume that this student was comrade of ultimate despair or maybe mastermind from the tragedy itself. There was a chance that student I met back then was Enoshima, but if it was true then what was happened ?
"Oh, when that happened, did you know where is Enoshima ?".
"Enoshima didn't come to school because sick".
Okay, I thought...that was her. But still, what for? And why I didn't realize it? Did she disguise herself? Well, maybe. Remembering what Mukuro did when Killing game, I guessed Enoshima disguised herself was not impossible.
"Hm, now you said it. I just remembered that time she didn't come to school long enough. I should check on her when we back to class, she had just returned to school, so I must make sure she's okay".
"Wow, I thought you're only concerned with the rules".
"Don't look down on me, Naegi. Rule is important but my friends are more important".
I felt my regret became bigger. Regret because forgot the school memories and bond with my friends. I had lost something precious.
"...".
Then, we stopped at the front of door that sealed with police line.
"Okay, we arrived".
"Um, why this room sealed ?".
"After incident happened, polices decided this room may contained important evidence, so they restricted it for investigation purposes".
"Incident ?".
"Yes, murder between student council members" he answered sadly.
So it just started. Okay, at last I knew where my position right now.
"Are you okay ?".
"Well, I'm fine Naegi. But remembering about that, I feel like reading horror fiction story. Honestly, until now I'm still not believe it. I don't believe they can kill each other. They have high dedication, trust, and strong bond. To think they kill each other is…." he said desperately.
"I'm sure there is a reason".
"Yes, i'm sure there must be something that makes them kill each other. Someone might threaten them".
What he said is not wrong and maybe that's the truth. If that's the truth, i can guess who it is.
"See you upset like this, it looks like you're very close to them".
"Hm, i can't say i'm very close but i did know them well enough to know that something was wrong with that incident".
"So can we enter this room ?".
"Yes, I'm member of the disciplinary committee and happen to be trusted to hold the key to this room".
"Great, let's go then".
We entered the student council room. In there, i checked all of student council members notes and document that being left there. But, even searched and read the old document, no luck, i didn't find any clue. All of them are just document about school events.
"Naegi, may I know what exactly are you looking for ?".
"Um, well, i'm looking for document or notes about Izuru Kamukura".
"Izuru Kamukura ?!".
"Yes, what is it? It seems you know something".
"I don't know about him but i just know that Izuru Kamukura is one of the survivor from the incident beside student council president and he was suspected to become the mastermind behind that incident".
"Oh, so the student council president is alive? Then, where is he right now ?".
"Sorry, he's not here anymore. He reportedly committed suicide".
"Suicide ?".
"Yeah, even they said it like that, i don't believe it. Someone must have killed him" He said seriously.
"Why are you so sure ?".
"Soshun Murasame, he is Super High School Level Student Coucil President. Even after lost his friends, he is not the type that will decide to end his life like that. Even in trouble situation, he always find the best solution for it. To choose suicide is the impossible thing that i can think about him".
"Well, you may be right but who killed him ?".
"I don't know and the school seemed to want to hide the fact, this is same with the student council bodyguard that disappeared".
"What do you mean ?".
"Student council bodyguard that attacked you, the school said that he was expelled from school, but in reality he disappeared without a trace".
"Really? I don't know about that".
"Of course, the school want to hide that. And i must say that i really angry about this, they tried to cover up the bad events that happened. Moreover they seem to hide something" He said annoyed.
"It must be very hard for you, as you're members of the disciplinary committee".
"Yes, it was my duty to maintain order in the school life, although in the end I should fooled everyone even my friends by saying all will be fine".
My opinion about him increased. Kiyotaka Ishimaru, Super High School Level Moral Compass. He is righteous and values order above all else. Above all things, he does not tolerate anyone running around in the school. I don't expect that even he can be insensitive toward another at times, he really cares with his friends and not make them panic. I never got to know him during trapped in a killing game but i think he's a great guy and reliable.
"Ah, forgive me Naegi".
"Ng, why are you apologizing ?".
"The truth is what I said was secret and dangerous, now i think you also fall into danger".
"Haha believe it or not, if you had not told me this, I was really in danger. So, during this time you do the investigation alone huh ?".
"Yes".
"Ho...so, only you that know about this in class ?".
"Hm, other than me, I guess just Kirigiri and she seemed to know more".
"Well, as expected from her. By the way, why did not you tell with our friends in class? Would not it be nice if we all work together".
"I think so too but that's dangerous".
"Dangerous ?".
"I don't know why, but i feel that the mastermind is lurking in among students".
Okay, Ishimaru you da MVP. I didn't expect that you had good intuition.
"Why do you think that? Do not you believe in your friends ?".
"No, it's not like that, I just worried if they get in danger because of this and somehow I feel the culprit is very close to us, so i'm still not say anything".
Well, the mastermind sure in our class. If you suddenly said this in front of her, I could see yourself in the execution screen.
"Is this wrong? Should I discuss this with our friends ?".
"No, i think what you did during this time was not wrong. Thanks for making us feel comfortable Ishimaru, must be hard for you to take this burden alone".
"Naegi".
Ishimaru expression seemed happy and looked calm.
"But you don't alone right now, okay? I'm here. Just like you, I'm really care with our friends and I hope that we can stop and catch the mastermind. So, if you get some new information and want to discuss about it, you can talk to me".
"Yes, so from now on we're partners. I hope you can work hard Naegi!".
"Well, yeah".
I think from now on I can request help from Ishimaru if something happened. He know about gray condition of Hope's peak and I hope my other friends can join us immediately. But i must careful, wrong step and Enoshima will execute me.
"Naegi, time to go back to class.".
"Okay, let's go".
We went out of the student council room and go back to class. Well, i didn't find something but what Ishimaru said really useful. Short story, now I was in situation before Hope's peak despair parade. At that time, students from reserve course attacked all of main course students in hope's peak. Based on what I read, the result from that parade was the death of all main course students except 78th class, my class. After the parade ended, all reserve course student committed suicide.
"...".
Okay, so I think my mission right now is to stop that? But how?
"Naegi, stop!" Ishimaru said suddenly.
"Ng, what's wrong ?".
I look forward, and well, I know him. Long hair with red eyes, no doubt.
"Izuru Kamukura" I whispered.
Damn, This is bad.
-Omake-
I: "...".
N: "...".
K: "...".
I: "...".
N: "...".
K: "Right, long hair is uncomfortable".
N & I: nodded.
