"You're planning to leave without saying goodbye, Sasoriza?"
Midori blenched, her hand still on the door handle. She turned back, gazing the person who surprised her. It was the middle of the night.
"Go back to sleep, Shiena-san. I have to go, don't try to stop me"
"Are you going to take your revenge against Kamikuro-sensei? Sorry but I can't let you hurt sensei, she's someone important to me and I need to have a talk with her. I understand that what she did to you was awful, but…"
The green haired girl suddenly approached from Shiena, interrupting her at the same time.
"You don't have to worry, I won't do anything against Kamikuro-san. I have other things to do first, more important. And it would be pretty stupid to throw myself into the lion's den, she's dangerous and stronger than me for the moment" said Midori.
Even if the brunette was relieved to hear that Midori hadn't the intension to attack Reiko, she was curious and a little bit worried about her ex-comprade's "other things to do".
"What do you plan to do next?" asked Shiena.
Midori hesitated to answer, obviously bothered by this question.
"This is why you should have stayed asleep" said the green haired girl.
The brunette suddenly became really worried about Midori's intentions.
"Dammit Sasoriza, what are you planning!?"
The green haired girl's gaze became deadly serious, worrying even more Shiena.
"I probably going to die in a young age" began to say Midori. "So I should hurry to do my mission"
Shiena remained quiet for a moment. The green haired girl said two important things, but only one seemed to disturb the brunette right now.
"You're going to die soon? Why? Are you sick or something like that?"
"No, my health is perfectly fine. Well, my physical health, dunno for my mental health though" began to answer Midori. "Dismissal Collective think that I'm dead, but immediately that they found out that I'm still alive, they'll send a lot of assassins to kill me. There also have the police who search me, they could kill me if they found me. After all the people I killed recently, there probably have plenty more people who want me dead…"
"Wait, if the police catch you, they aren't supposed to kill you. You'll you to jail…"
"Shiena-san, I've eighteen years old. If I go to jail for multiple murders, death penalty will be my fate" said Midori. "There have to much people who want me dead, this is almost sure that I'll die young, I'll be killed…"
The brunette didn't know how to react. Indeed, it seemed like Midori wasn't going to live old. Since she didn't know what to say about that, Shiena suddenly remembered the other thing Midori had told her.
"What's your mission?" asked Shiena.
Midori suddenly smiled in a disturbing way. Her smile seemed to be a mix of madness and determination.
"To kill them all!" shouted the green haired girl. "All those disgusting people who aren't in jail for some obscure reason. All those murderers, rapists, child abusers and other monsters like them, I'll kill them all! I'll free Japan from these trashes. Until my death, I'll kill the most monstruous people that I can! Ah, it would be wonderful if I could bring a lot of monster into my own death, it would be the perfect and most satisfying death I could never dream!"
When Midori said her ultimate goal, Shiena had recoiled a little bit, afraid of the green haired girl.
"You're insane! Is it sensei's tortures that transformed you into such a madwoman?"
"Maybe, after this incident the little voice into my head became more louder. This voice telling me kill them all, this voice is stronger now! This is the proof that my goal is right, this is true justice, I'm the justice itself!" said Midori. "I'm a real martyr, I won't die, I'll be a sacrifice for justice!"
Midori was definitely crazier than before. Her creepy smile suddenly disappeared when she gazed Shiena.
"Where's Otoya-san?"
"She's still sleeping. Me I couldn't sleep, because of all what's happen with Kamikuro-sensei…" answered Shiena.
Strangely, Midori seemed to be disappointed to not be able to see the serial killer before leaving.
"This is the last time we see each other, Shiena-san. Goodbye, take care of yourself. Oh, tell Otoya-san that I'm sorry for everything, and thanks for saving me. Without her, I won't be able to continue my mission. Farewell, Shiena-san!"
Midori opened the door and left the apartment. Shiena stayed a moment in front of the door, thoughtful.
"Sasoriza, is that possible that she love Ot…" began to thought Shiena, before laughing. "No, impossible! They hate each other! Though, she became really nuts…"
Shiena remembered something Midori said to her that could also applied to Otoya.
"Otoya is also eighteen right now…she could be executed if the police found her!"
Shiena stayed a moment in front of Reiko's office, hesitating to knock at the door. Suddenly, the door opened, while the brunette recoiled. She almost got hit by the door.
"Oh, Kenmochi-san!" said Reiko, surprised. "What's going on, you seem disturbed"
"Kamikuro-sensei, can I talk with you, alone?"
"Sure, come to my office"
The teacher let the brunette entered into her office and closed the door. She went to her chair and sat, while Shiena stood in front of Reiko.
"You can sit if you want" offered Reiko.
"No thanks, I'm fine"
"Then, what's the matter, Kenmochi-san? Did something happen? Do you have a problem?"
Shiena suddenly took out something that was into her jacket and pointed her teacher with it. Reiko stayed perfectly calm, even if she was at gunpoint by her student.
"You're my problem, sensei"
"Kenmochi-san, can I know the reason of this sudden threat?"
Reiko seemed to be too calm, that wasn't good sign. Shiena continued to hold her gun, fearing the worst.
"Someone was harassing me recently and even tried to kill me" began to say Shiena. "And unfortunately, I have a proof that it was you sensei"
The teacher suddenly rose up, forcing Shiena recoiled by fear.
"You think it was me? You really think that I try to kill you? How could you think such a thing, I don't understand…" said Reiko.
"The culprit used your laptop to hack my computer, I checked your IP address so there is no need to try to deny it" said Shiena. "Please, Kamikuro-sensei, prove that it wasn't you, that it was a setup, a misunderstanding! I don't want to suspect you, but dammit, it was your IP…"
Shiena suddenly began to cry, this was too much for her. She didn't want to suspect Reiko, even if the evidence seemed to prove that she was the culprit. She lowered her arm, still holding the gun, but she wasn't pointing her teacher anymore.
"Kenmochi-san, I swear, it wasn't me. This was a setup against you and me" said Reiko. "You're the one who freed Sasoriza Midori, don't you?"
"It was Otoya. How can I trust you, after what you did to Sasoriza? You tortured her, you can't be the kind and sweet teacher I thought you were, not after what you did…"
Reiko suddenly fell on her knees, surprising the brunette.
"You're right, I failed as a teacher. I'm so ashamed of myself, I didn't want to disappoint you. When Sasoriza-san tried to kill you, I was so mad at her, I wanted to make her suffer for what she did. I shouldn't do that, I'm sorry if I ruined your opinion of me, it wasn't my intention. Kenmochi-san, I really appreciate you, as a student and also as a fellow member from Dismissal Collective, you're someone important to me, I would never allow someone to hurt you!"
Even if Shiena was touched by her teacher's words, it didn't prove that she wasn't the culprit.
"Even if you say that to me, you can't prove to me that you aren't the culprit. The culprit used your laptop, prove me that it wasn't you!" shouted the brunette.
The teacher suddenly rose up and grabbed her student by her shoulders. Shiena blenched, she didn't know if Reiko was trying to attack her.
"If I understand, the culprit used my laptop" said Reiko. "How strange. Recently someone had stealed it from me. Some students told me that they saw two other students using a laptop that looked like mine. Supposedly, they were using it into the classroom when I wasn't there"
Shiena wiped her tears, hopeful. It seemed like those two students are the real culprits, they used Reiko's laptop to fool the brunette and to ruin her trust into her dear teacher.
"Who are those students?" asked Shiena, frustrated to have been fooled like that and for daring to suspect her teacher.
Reiko seemed to hesitate to tell their names.
"You know, maybe it wasn't my laptop, their have plenty of laptops that look alike. We should suspect them with such a poor proof…"
"Dammit sensei! If you don't tell me their names, I'll be force to suspect you!" shouted the brunette, restless.
Reiko took a deep breath, knowing that she couldn't change Shiena's mind. She told her their names, while Shiena was terribly shocked. She couldn't believe they were the culprits.
"The two students who were using a laptop similar to mines are Mikage Tatsuya and Mikage Hiyori"
What! The Mikage twins are the culprits? Why Shiena's new friends could do something so awful to her?
And Midori...yeah, if you hear a voice into your head telling you to kill all bad people, you're not crazy, it's the proof that you're the justice itself. Yeah, sure, Midori-chan isn't crazy at all.
I'll take a little break, I posted 3 chapters this week but now I have to get ready for school next week.
I posted a drawing of Reiko-sensei on my deviantart.
