After school library. That day, Akei was in charge of the librarian.
"Saeko-san, did you buy a virtual phone after a while?
A senior woman in the librarian looks at the bracelet that Akiya is wearing and speaks up.
"Yeah, my parents bought it for my birthday present."
With a bracelet-shaped virtual phone, Ayake says proudly.
"Nice, dude. I wonder if the price is cheaper and the product thin will be eliminated...... what's wrong?
"Hey...... is that, seventy seven wonders?
While one of the senior librarians envies him, both senior grades who were visiting the library refer to the window with a pale face.
"Yikes!
"What the heck!?
"Kimo!
Seeing who was there, some scream.
That was a bored old man. He pulls out of the bookshelf and piles up the sparkling book, turning and knitting the book with thin hands that have grown dozens of them from all over his body. And even more so, I read all the books with dozens of thin twills that grew out of my body, and dozens of eyeballs on the tip of those twills.
Seventy-seven. It was a pretty creepy design among haunted people called strange but not yet actually reached the total of seventy-seven.
"Shut up. Can't you be quiet in the library?"
Staring at the students with eyes on their faces, the old man says in a calm voice.
(That's... that's Bookworm.)
Akei knew about the creepy monster. I had already seen it in a painting that was painted on Tugumi's sketchbook. As the name suggests, an old man who is a book bug. That body, too, specializes in reading many books at once, but it's late, Tsugumi explained.
"Well, I don't just want to read books, I want to know online knowledge efficiently."
When you squeal like that, Bookworm J-chan rises up and rushes out to those with the students.
"Yikes!? Hey!"
Numerous thin hands grab the body of the girl student who was closest to her and stick their hands in her skirt and chest pockets.
Bookworm Ji-chan immediately freed the students and now stuck her hand in her pocket as she slid through between the boys students who were behind her. Seems like you've decided you don't have to detain me.
At that rate, I stick my hands in the students' pockets one after the other, Bookworm Jr. I wasn't sure from the side what I was doing, but some of the pupils who had been wandered noticed what they had done.
"My fingertip phone is being stolen!
"I was stolen too"
Finally, they're stealing a student's cell phone in the library from one end.
(hey...... no way mine too......)
Aware of the bracelet on his arm, he hastily tries to escape the library.
But right behind it, Bookworm J-chan was imminent.
"I was bragging earlier. I'll use it."
When Bookworm said, he quickly pulled out Aya's bracelet.
"Oh yeah, the virtual phone you just bought..."
Stunning. It's not just expensive, it's hard to get, but my parents struggled to get it for Akaya's birthday present, pretty much everywhere, it's important. The shock of being deprived of it is immeasurable.
"That's... terrible... Not really."
Akia was kneeling on the floor and spilling tears as she watched Bookworm Ji-chan still chase the students around in the library.
after-school infirmary. True, Upper Mi, Ten Nights, and Shaking will gather, and each will report on the content of today's investigation and the suspicions encountered. Of course I have Junko.
"During the fifth hour of class, there was a fruit rhinoceros, and you told me to watch out for the undesirable."
"Oh, he came to our classroom too."
"In my class, too."
When True reported, Shaking and Uemi said.
"The undesirable - do we all know this word?
To Junko's inquiry, the four simultaneously shake their heads beside each other.
"It's a novel about people with twenty-four personalities, and that's how it was expressed. A generic term for defining a personality that exists within multiple personalities, that is usually restrained from going outside, that is difficult to control with the nature of committing a crime. Tsugumi must have read that novel and made that kind of category"
"That's the bad side of that kid, too, and you mean that went wild?
Junko explains, Uemami asks.
"It's early to be sure, but as it's likely, you should be on your guard."
and Junko.
"Oh, and just now, a guy like the warden came to say hello, so you're not ashamed to call him the warden now? When I said that, you were hurting something so bad... I still intend to use this as an expression software..."
"Oh... that warden would be delicate if he did. It's troublesome because when you use a little tight language or say something negative, it's depressing right away."
Upper Mi laughs bitterly when she hears a true report.
It was then. The door was opened without a knock, and the face of a group of wardens with injured defects came into the infirmary. Some of them are constitutional successors.
"Rumor has it..."
Ten nights squeals.
"Ah... Senior Aizawa. And to the back."
The warden, who is spitting blood out of his mouth, looks up.
"What did you do, it"?
Seeing the three obviously seriously injured defects, Uemmi asks.
"Let's just talk about it while we treat it -. Ultrasonic vibration-type therapeutic devices have also been brought from the laboratory. Carrying size, so it works a little worse."
That's what I'm gonna say. Junko starts taking care of the three of us.
"Shadow. Ah. I wonder if it's unfavorable."
I heard from the bad guys, and the shake shrugged.
"I've only ever hurt a student before, but with their emergence, you mean more and more students are being attacked?
Hearing the words of Upper Beauty spoken with a restless face, the defects that have just been attacked are breathtaking.
(No... You mean the cliff room is the cause, the school guys get hurt, and they die the worst?
The constitutional succession was particularly shocking. At first, he also witnessed a scene in which a vinyl demon had murdered a girl who was bullying a tugmire, so he thought there was a good chance that he would kill his students in the future.
"Hey......"
True summons Junko, Ten Nights, Shaking, Ueme, and takes him to a position away from the defects.
"Should I talk to him?
Verify truthfully in a low voice. At the end of his gaze, he had a close constitutional succession with Tugumi.
"You should stop now. It sounds pretty confusing, and hey. And you don't want to be asked that in front of the other kids."
and Junko.
"I knew it, but just to be sure. The shake may run wild and speak to you on your own."
"Hey, hey, senior, you don't trust me that much."
Shaking disappointed by true words.
"I'll take your vengeance, so you guys just be nice for the time being. When you do something that stands out as being gathered behind the gym, it gets better. If you don't spare your life, do it yourself."
Get out in front of the bad guys and the truth warns you. The bad guys round their eyes.
"No... no matter how many seniors Aizawa to such a monster..."
"I've been dealing with all kinds of monsters and monsters for five years, and this is how I still live."
Truly, the bad guys were so hot in their hearts that they remembered the sense of reliability and respect that no one had ever felt in their previous lives.
"Mother, scold me again?
As he arrived on his way home side by side with his shoulders, the seal muttered to the dialogue that Tugumi abruptly mouthed.
"Why are you saying that?
"'Cause I did something wrong again. I gave your mother a break from work and called her to school. The same thing happened before. That's when he scolded me."
"That's because you did something wrong. I guess not this time."
I'm talking, and I feel something's wrong with my daughter, Azami. I feel a little uncomfortable since yesterday. Especially when talking, I feel like I'm an adult because it feels strangely solid.
But it must be my fault.
"No. But... I need to know what caused it. Perhaps you should take a precision test."
"Seimitskensa?"
"Go to the big hospital and find out why you fell."
"Hospitals…"
The hospital is a tugmire I hate. But when I say I don't like it in front of my mother, I feel angry again and I can't say it.
"I know you don't like it, but what if there's a real anomaly and it's too late to leave me alone?
It's stronger to feel like you don't like what you don't like when you say that. My heart cannot listen. But out of fear of being scolded by his mother, the feeling of having to obey is working.
"But just now, I went to see Dr. Red in the infirmary."
"You mean you had a precision test at school?
Listening to Tugumi's report, the seal frowns. When I did the test, I remembered what the insurance doctor said.
"Yeah, no problem."
Tell him with a bright smile.
I think it would be better to have a thorough examination in a solid hospital than an insurance doctor at such a school, but I also think that the school may have equipment and want to see it properly.
Azami had two conflicting emotions at the same time: distrust and reassurance towards an insurer who didn't even use salutations, dressed weirdly and looked like only a mid-teenage girl. He said that while he was hard to trust because he was a strange person, he also felt solid in his appearance and back, and that it was words and deeds that gave him proper thought about his daughter.
(Mother, you haven't noticed. my change...... I'm nearest but haven't noticed)
I think so. Tsugumi didn't realize that her mother was aware of her changes.
(That my head, little by little, is clear. That my head is getting clearer and clearer. Now I may be able to be normal, which my mother wants me to be...)
After that, I couldn't think about it. The clear head gradually blurred. But that was convenient for Tsugumi. Tugumi herself, because she didn't want to think ahead.
