Chapter 2 Shocking Morning, School Skewer Murder Case!!

Part 1

Waking up was refreshing.

This is thanks to the free black robe of dark spider silk I got last night. I admired the robe shining in the morning sun and headed to the academy a little earlier than usual.

I went to school alone for the first time in a long time.

Hyoro and Jaga are always on the verge of being late.

Sometimes it’s nice to get to school early.

The faces of the students passing by are also fresh, and when I pass through the school gate and soak up the morning sun, it’s the bes……

“…… It’s the worst.”

“Why is Pochi here?”

“Why is Alexia here?”

When I passed through the school gate, Alexia was there.

“You should be a little happy to see me in the morning.”

“Waah, I’m so happy.”

“It’s obvious.”

“Well then, later.”

“Don’t run away, wait.”

As soon as I started walking, Alexia immediately came alongside me.

“Why are you following me?”

“Because when you run away, it makes me want to chase you.”

“Are you a fierce beast?”

“It must be an honor to go to school with me.”

“……”

“Why are you quiet?”

“…… You have a happy head, I think.”

“Not as much as you.”

As we walked along, talking about such things, we saw a crowd of people in front of the school building.

I can hear the buzz of students.

“I-It’s dead……!”

“Who did such a terrible thing……”

“Oi, don’t come any closer! The Knights are coming. Until then……”

Alexia and I looked at each other.

“A dead body, they said!”

“Let’s go there.”

This is the first surprise event in a long time in the unchanged school life.

It is natural to be excited with anticipation.

I pushed my way through the crowd, my eyes sparkling with wonder at what kind of corpse I would find.

And —— I was astonished.

“Ah, they mean this one.”

Come to think of it, I remember last night I kicked him off the roof and left him where he was.

I had completely forgotten about it.

“It’s terrible……I can’t believe they skewered him on the sword of a statue. I wonder if it’s an execution.”

“I think it just happened to pierce him.”

“That can’t be true. There’s always a reason for such a particular way of killing.”

“Is that so.”

Alexia was looking at the corpse with a serious face.

“Who is he? He doesn’t look like he belongs to the academy.”

“I think he’s a thief.”

“It doesn’t look like he’s from the Knights. Probably an intruder……”

“I think he’s a thief.”


“Could he be from the cult, or……”

“I think he’s a thief~.”

“You’ve been so noisy since a while ago. There is no way he is a thief”

“Yes.”

Well, fine.

The students around me seem to be happy, and when I think about it, it can be said that it was as originally planned.

“I’m scared …… Don’t tell me, it was that organization.”

“And the missing student hasn’t been found yet.”

“There is also the matter of the magic power the other day. I think there’s something behind this case.”

They are happy.

The truth is that it’s a dog and cat fight and a thief falling to his death. If it’s as exciting as this, I’m very satisfied as the instigator.

What should I do, maybe I can dress up as Shadow tonight or so and make the event even more exciting.

“Why are you making a creepy smiling face?”

“Hmm? Ah, nothing.”

Alexia’s red eyes were looking at me curiously.

“You two, do you have a moment?”

At that time, there was a boy who was talking to us.

The handsome guy with the dark green hair, he is Isaac-kun.

“Yaa, Isaac-kun. Did you get a good rest yesterday?”

“Etto, if I am not wrong, you are Sid-kun, right. I had some business to attend to yesterday. Is there something wrong?”

“There was a quiz.”

“So there was a quiz. And?”

“No, nothing.”

“Then it’s fine. But more importantly, school’s closed for the day.”

“I see.”

“It’s a terrible incident. I’ve been instructed to leave the scene of the crime because the school officials and the Knights are going to investigate. Thugs may be lurking in the area, so be careful. Never leave the dormitory.”

“Fuhn Fuhn.”

“It’s dangerous, so be careful too, Pochi.”

“Okay——”

At that moment, with a clank, something stuck in my neck.

Is this a collar?

“I finally got you.”

When I turned around, there was nee-san with a big smile on her face.

“Y-Yaa, long time no see, nee-san.”

“It’s really been a long time. I think the last time we saw each other was before winter break.”

“R-Right.”

Shoot, I let my guard down.

It was troublesome, so I acted accordingly to avoid seeing nee-san.

“Nee, Claire. That collar……”

“What’s wrong with this collar?”

“Was that Claire’s collar?”

“Yes. It was supposed to be in my room, but for some reason the Knights kept it. It was very hard to get it back.”

“I-Is that so? What are you using it for?”

“What, you ask……Isn’t it obvious?”

Clank, nee-san laughs as she pulls the chain.

“Ah, unn, right…… I see, a dog needs collar?”

“Right right, a collar is needed.”

“Ano, I’m not a dog.”

“What are you talking about, you are Pochi, right?”

“Sid, you’re saying something funny. Let’s go, Pochi. No, I mean Sid.”

Nee-san pulled me by the chain and dragged me in front of the crowd.

Before I knew it, these two became friends.
