June 2007 was coming to an end, the non-existent a, also Yuu Shimizu and Tomomi Shiraishi met in secret so that Kento would not find out, nor anyone from the countermeasures.

Rika: Anything new Shimizu-kun?

Yuu: I'm Sakai's assistant and also his friend, I feel bad about taking advantage of my friendship with him, but I understand what the consequences could be if we don't " topple" him.

Rika: Well, have others noticed anything that could help?

Ayane: In my opinion, we should have someone to keep watch.

Midori: Wouldn't it be suspicious?

Ayane: Countermeasures and the rest of the class are tasked with ignoring us.

In theory, nothing would happen even if they overheard us, however, it would be worse if they heard Shiraishi-san or Shimizu-kun.

Midori: I understand, that is, as if someone noticed our guard would have to pass by, as if he did not hear anything...

Yoshito: I would volunteer.

Isamu: In that case, so am I.

Hayashida-kun can run away because he doesn't care.

Rika: Takatsuki-kun… These meetings are not mandatory, Nae Hiiragi is not here today, and neither is Ogino-san.
If Hayashida-kun didn't want to attend, he wouldn't be with us.

Ayane: We are on the first floor, a second guard near the windows would also be useful...

Rika: In that case, Takatsuki-kun, are you still volunteering?

Isamu: Well okay, although it's pretty boring.

Rika: So it's settled.
Shimizu-kun, when you will tell Sakai that you have been contacting us?

Yuu: I think in a week's time, I hope no one in the beginning of July will die.

Ayane: Try it already, in my opinion you will succeed.

Yuu: Are you sure Kobayashi-san?

Ayane: I'm 100% precent sure.
If Sakai-kun has taken you on as an assistant then he trusts you.

Yuu: He also took Yanagi-san as an assistant.
I don't know if Suzuki-san would become the leader of countermeasures, we talked about it once.
Sakai-kun asked me if, if Yanagi-san and Miyake-kun died, would I want to take his place.
Then everyone questioned each other like this.

If Suzuki-san became the head of countermeasures, that would be the best option.

It wouldn't be too bad if Yanagi-san became her.

But even if Miyake-kun changed his mind it wouldn't be as bad as with Sakai and his methods.

Yuu: In that case, talk to Suzuki-san today, in my opinion you will be able to convince her.

Suzuki-san is very kind as well as polite, however, such a role as managing a class as the head of countermeasures may overwhelm her.

Ayane: Passing this on to Yanagi-san or Miyake-kun will be much easier than to Sakai

Rika: In that case, will you do it today Shimizu-kun?

Yuu: I don't know, I'm not sure.
Ayane used her eye ability on Yuu.

Ayane: I think Sakai-kun trusts you enough to pass this on to him without consequence to yourself.

Yuu: You're right, I even have an idea.

Rika: In that case, good luck Shimizu-kun!

The non-essentials came out of the old library, Tomomi and Yuu stayed inside and stayed for a while, then left one by one.
This did not raise any suspicions from anyone.
After this meeting, Rika, Ayane and Ai met on a rooftop to have lunch.

Rika: By the way Ai, is everything okay with Nae? She has not attended school for four days, I think.

Ai did not want to tell Rika and Ayane about Nae's dire mental health condition.

Nae couldn't sleep at night and also had a failed suicide attempt behind her.

Nae had destroyed all the mirrors in the house as a result of her psychosis attack.

Despite her current stay in a psychiatric hospital, her condition has not improved.

Ai: Nae is sick, I hope nothing will happen to her in July.

Rika: I wish for her health and return to school.

Ai, Rika, and Ayane continued to talk about Nae's,

when they finished, Ayane asked Rika for a moment.

Rika: Yes Ayane? Is there something to talk about?

Ayane: To tell you the truth, I have a better plan than the one that was set, but I don't know if you would agree.

Rika: You made me curious, continue.

Ayane: We would have to sacrifice Shimizu-kun.

Rika: W-what?

Ayane: He would have survived, but he would have had to be tortured by Sakai, someone would then have snuck in and recorded everything.

Sakai could be blackmailed to give up his function as head of countermeasures.

Rika: It is a good, yet immoral plan.

Ayane: What if Sakai decides that only Shimizu-kun has been in touch with us?
We may be risking Shimizu-kun's health, however, this plan would be a sure thing.

Rika: How?

Ayane: We would have to force Sakai to torture Shimizu-kun.

In that case, we must anticipate him.
We would have to force Sakai to torture Shimizu-kun.

In that case, we must anticipate him.

And encourage Shiraishi-san to report Shimizu-kun.

Rika: It's extremely difficult, but I don't think we have any other choice, there's no telling what will happen if Shimizu-kun fails.

Ayane: Would you speak with Shiraishi-san?

Rika: I don't know if he will agree to it, but I will try.

Ayane: We need to hurry.

An hour later, Rika met Tomomi behind the school.

Rika: Shiraishi-san listen, I know this will sound strange, but you have to report Shimizu-kun to Sakai.

Tomomi: What?

Rika: There is a possibility that Shimizu-kun may report to you, you must anticipate him.

Tomomi: I don't think so, although he has indeed been spending a lot of time with Sakai-kun lately.
By the way, where did Kobayashi go?

Rika: After all, we are non-existent, we can walk out of school just like that.

Tomomi: Anyway, fine, I will do it

Tomomi came to the countermeasures office before the end of class.

Shimizu-kun was not there, so Tomomi got right to the point.

Yui gasped , she was shocked by this fact.

Yui: What?

Kento: Shiraishi-san, continue

Tomomi: Shimizu-kun started going to the old library recently, and it seemed to me that he was talking to non-existent entities.
I've been following him since he started acting strangely.

Kento: You have done well Shiraishi-san, it is possible that he began to go out with me to pass the newest information from the countermeasures to them.

Kiyono: Suzuki-san could you leave for a while?

Yui: Why?

Kiyono: I need to show you something.

Yui: Okay, fine.

Kiyono and Yui left the office, Kento, Tomomi, Takuya and Kinya remained in the office.

Yuu: Wait! I can explain

Tomomi: Like how?

After all, I heard everything.

Kento: You'll explain it to me soon
Shiraishi-san, Pardon me but I need to ask you to leave.

Tomomi: Fine, I won't interfere with the investigation.

When Tomomi left she was escorted by Takuya and he closed the door behind her.
Yuu tried desperately to escape, however, Kinya intercepted him.
Kento gently approached Yuu, smiling slightly.

Yuu, on the other hand, was almost paralyzed by fear.

Kento: Can we reach an agreement Shimizu-kun?

Yuu: I didn't do anything!

It was Shiraishi-san who talked to those entities!

Kento: Let's put it this way: From now on you only tell the truth alright?

Yuu: But I really didn't do anything!

Kento: I like you Shimizu-kun, but I don't think I have a choice.

Kento gave the signal for Takuya and Kinya.
They overpowered and tied up Yuu.

Kento: You can still avoid this Shimizu-kun.

Yuu: Sakai-kun please come to your senses!

Kento: Too bad, Kento hit Yuu with all his strength with a baseball bat.

Kinya stood at the ready and Takuya leaned against the wall, and watched the torture.

The blow was so hard that it broke Yuu's cheekbone.
Yuu groaned in pain.

Kento: If you don't admit it, it will be worse.

Yuu: OK, I admit it, I was communicating with non-existent entities.

Kento: Anyone else besides you was doing this too?

Yuu: Shiraishi-san…

Kento: In that case, why did she report you?

Tell me, did Yamazaki-kun also do this?

Or Iwamoto-kun?
Or even maybe Suzuki-san?

Yuu: I swear to you that only me and Shiraishi-san did it!

Kento: You're lying, unfortunately I'm forced to get it out of you.

Kento and Kinya tortured Yuu, but did not notice that the door was ajar.

Ayane recorded everything, and after a while Kiyono and Yui heard the sound of beating.

Both were curious about it and walked toward the countermeasures office.
Ayane and Rika, however, pre-empted them and were the first to enter the office.

Rika saw a bloodied Yuu, and Kinya who was batting his knees.
Rika was horrified, the scale of the torture was much greater than, those on Yoshito Hayashida.

Ayane: Sakai-kun.

I don't care what role I have in the class.

You broke the law, I'm giving you an ultimatum, either you resign as countermeasures or I'll report you to the police.

Takuya and Kinya tried to hide their surprise and ignore Ayane's presence.

Kento, however, stopped torturing Yuu.

And after a moment's thought, he turned to Ayane and Rika

Kento: Do you dare to threaten me?

Ayane: You only have a special function in our class, you are still subject to the same laws as the rest of society.

Kento: I can kill you and Fuyutsuki-san and no one will prevent me from doing so.

Ayane: Are you sure?

Yoshito joined Ayane and Rika.

Yoshito: Wassup nerd.

Kento: Well, I guess I have no other choice.

I have a bright future, I can't waste it.

Yui and Kiyono came to the site, then Ayane and Rika took care of Yuu, and Kinya and Takuya left the spot.

Yui: SHIMIZU-KUN!

Kiyono: What the hell has happened here?

Kento: Yanagi-san, you have been promoted to full countermeasures officer, get along with Suzuki-san and Miyake-kun. And decide who will take my position.

Kiyono: No one, it makes no sense, the curse has already begun.
Shimizu-kun handed Suzuki-san his brother Asano-san's diary.

It doesn't make any sense anymore to ignore half the class.

Kento: Well, do as you like.
Just don't make you regret it later.
