Merry Christmas, dear readers! I hope that you will pass this day of celebration, but be careful not to overdo it or your stomach will claim! Now no more talk and move on to the chapter.
Chapter 2: The light is gone, and there is darkness everywhere.
Zuikaku aircraft carrier, 8:15 AM
The Angler Fish team had just arrived at the door of Miho's apartment.
"Damn you, Mako! Even on such an important day you made us damn to get you out of bed! "Hana said, annoyed.
"You know that at this time I'm sleepy ..." She replied, yawning.
"I'm starting to think you're a vampire ... By day you're tired, you're very active at night." Yukari said jokingly.
"Or maybe it's a super heroine!" Saori gave her strength.
"Come on, let's talk with the cries! The final will start in a few hours! And Miho, as our commander, cannot be absent! "
That said, Isuzu rang the bell, but nobody came to open it.
"Apparently, Mako is not the only sleeping beauty ... Saori, have you tried to write them?" She asked.
"Yes, but it does not display messages and does not answer calls."
"Very strange ... And what if something happened to her?"
"Now calm down, Yukari! Maybe it's just heavy sleep. "
Mako, understanding that chatting would not solve anything, she reached out and opened the door, and then entered.
"Hey, wait! It is not polite to enter the home of others without permission! "Saori exclaimed.
She ignored it, then reached Miho's room, finding her lying on the floor belly down; she was still wearing pajamas and had a pale colorful.
"How strange ..." She said.
"What?" Hana asked her.
"She is lying on the ground ..."
Alarmed by that answer, the girl entered the room, kneeling next to her friend / leader.
"Miho?"
She called her, but she did not answer.
"Miho, wake up!"
She gave her a pair of slaps on the cheeks, but that did not work either.
"What's up? Why do not her wake up? "
"Saori, I do not know ..."
She turned her into a supine position, and then the restlessness turned to terror: Miho was very pale, her eyes were glassy and her mouth gaped in a grimace of pure terror.
"She's dead!" She exclaimed.
At that sentence Mako reawakened from her torpor, assuming a shocked expression, Saori put her hands to her mouth to hold back a cry, while Yukari let out a chilling scream:
"MIHO! NOOOOOOO! "
"Now calm down! Saori, call the police! I warn the student council! "
With that, Hana put her hand to her cell phone.
"But how long do they put those?" Momo wondered, annoyed.
"I also ask for it ... Usually at this time Miho is already here." She gave her Yuzu.
Anzu, who was sitting at her desk, snorted.
"Yet I explained to her that the existence of our school is at stake here ... This is Day X, in which it will be decided whether it will be closed or will remain open!" She exclaimed, nervous.
"It is also true that there are four hours left to the final ..."
"Yuzu, we will have to face the Kuromorimine, the strongest of the Sensha-do teams! If Miho does not show up for that hour, how will we do it? We will finish crushed! She is our trump card, our last hope! If we have arrived here it is thanks to her, to her experience! She has turned beginners into expert carrists! She gave them courage, self-confidence! "
She stood up, going to the window.
"You have to put in your head that Miho is the Ooarai, and the Ooarai is Miho."
At that moment she received a message on FB.
Who will be now?
She asked himself, putting her hand to the phone.
As soon as she read the message, her eyes widened, bleaching suddenly. After a few seconds she fainted, collapsing to the ground. Immediately Momo and Yuzu were next to her, startled.
"President! What's up? "Asked the bespectacled, alarmed.
"Sorry, do not you see she's fainted?"
"I see she fainted, but what made her faint?"
Yuzu put her hand to the phone and as soon as she read the contents of the message she gasped.
"Explain to me what happens? Stop making cod! "Momo spurred her.
"... Our last hope has taken flight ..." answered the brunette.
"Eh?"
At the same time the girls from the hippo team were working hard on their tanks.
"I recommend, today we have to give our best! Remember that the future of the school depends on us! "Erwin exclaimed.
"Yes!" The others answered in chorus.
The blonde smiled, crossing her arms.
Suddenly someone hugged her from behind, then licked her ear sensually.
"I love your charisma."
"Thank you, Saemonza ... But I would rather avoid certain public effusions."
"Now do you shy? Yet tonight you screamed like an obsessive ... "
"Come on, get to work ... There are only a few hours left until the final! "She said, embarrassed.
"Ok ..."
At that moment a female voice coming from the speakers said:
"Attention, to all the students! Unfortunately I am in need of giving you a sad announcement! "
"What will happen?" Wondered Caesar, curious.
"Miho Nishizumi, leader of the anglerfish team, is dead!"
At that news the girls were horrified.
"Okay, who's the witty girl who enjoys playing some jokes?" Asked Erwin, refusing to believe what she had just heard.
"I do not think it's a joke ..." Oryou said, adjusting her glasses.
"I repeat, Miho Nishizumi is dead! For more details, please gather in the meeting room within one hour! "
"Miho ... Dead? How is it possible? "Noriko wondered.
"Do you ask me? Maybe she had an accident, "Akebi answered.
"Poor Miho ..." Ayumi said, her eyes shining.
"This did not take ... She was our backbone. Now the morale will fall apart. "Saki said darkly.
Similar reactions took place throughout the school: some people refused to believe it, some broke out in desperate weeping, some had a sickness, some suffered in silence. In any case, all the students, no one excluded, found themselves united in mourning: one of their friends, their mate, and their leader, who had led them to victory against the stronger schools of Sensha-do, was dead. That day the light disappeared from their lives, leaving room for darkness.
