"What are you talking about?

"Yeah? Did I say something strange?

Shoulders shake up and down. The hand holding the pattern tightens so hard that blood seeps through it. I can't stop the tremors that boil all over my body at the rage that spills up.

"How far are you willing to make fun of me? I didn't know you wanted that bullshit this time of year. You still think I don't know anything?

"So, what are you talking about? I wonder what the hell Satoru knows?

"... fine. Then I'll tell you. I hear everything you've done to me, from the class and from my teacher, Isam! You're the one who invented the idea of sacrificing me as a target of abuse! You know the truth about my sister, who was murdered in the hands of the land, sea and air, and you're the one who tricked me into committing this crime! What do you say we still cut the white?"

"Yeah, you're right about that. Sure, I chose Satoru as my class sacrifice, and even after your sister was murdered, I let her cover up and make you guilty. But what's that? Is there a problem?

Satoru cannot hide his surprise at that Akechi attitude, which he describes as if it were another HR.

"What are you saying, you're here? Because of you! My family. My sister! Sacrificed! You messed up my life, too! That's all you have to do."

"Ha ha, that's huge. It's only funny to me, honestly, that you, who are nothing but a fool of an elephant, are avenged for such nonsense."

Akechi says it clearly so that it can be worded in Satoru's words. Besides, there's no precipitation whatsoever, just the way it is, even if that's the norm.

"Oh man..."

"Mostly, at least when it comes to you, it's gratitude, it's revenge. You don't remember being told what it is, do you? That's pretty much what I resent."

I couldn't believe the word. I honestly doubted my ears. This man claims to resent Satoru's actions while admitting to himself that he went to Satoru.

"Do you know what you're talking about?

"Naturally, a good human being named me, born to unite the fools, even if he knows he is a subordinate, behaves accordingly. And that's why I'm responsible for guiding the foolish people right. So, you've led the way, too, haven't you? Being kept alive, being flushed by the public without myself, without any help, without being in the gears of society, and only going to be dirt just scattering carbon dioxide and excrement, you helped your class in the form of sacrifices by being able to visit an excellent mentor named me."

Satoru could not see this man, smiling and saying things like that with all due respect, as the same person. It even makes me feel like I'm talking to something I'm not good at.

"You look like you don't understand. I don't have a choice." Always nobly chosen, Young, your modesty is too noble to be felt by the fools. "

"Don't be ridiculous! What's noble, meticulous! My family was sacrificed because of your nasty paranoia!

"You can't do that because you think of it as a sacrifice. Instead, you helped. Satoru, for example, with you sacrificing and continuing to be abused, that class was well tucked away. It would have been peaceful, wouldn't it? The three men in land, sea and air were particularly troubled children with predisposition, but they were also adults because you were there. And because there was a gateway called you, everyone in my class was relieved of the daily stress. With just one sacrifice, there is no crap dispute, and with only a few sacrifices, we can all be happy. Doing so made me a small, tiny space, a classroom, from dust mustard, which is boring and of no use to you, but a small gear to keep the activity going. This is incredible. You can be proud to evolve from useless garbage scraps to fine parts."

Satoru lost his word to that reciprocal narrative. Besides, this man is not talking about deluding his sins or anything else, he is talking about it from the bottom of his heart to tell it to be right.

"Even your family does. Sure, my sister may have had a bit of a hard time with it, but thanks to it, the feelings of endless craving bearers like Crow and Cicio sank. It would be such a pleasure to have one of the inferior lives of the people."

"Don't be ridiculous! Bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit.

But Satoru could not keep his mouth shut when he brought up his sister's story, raising his voice, revealing his anger, and staring at Akechi.

"You mean my sister can be sacrificed for such a nasty reason! Not to mention those three are not being tried, and they're pushing all their sins on me! Is that what you call pleasure!

"Of course not? You were chosen as a sacrifice, so you should be responsible for your family by yourself. That's the rule of my class. My credibility could be eroded if those three were brought to justice to the extent that I killed my sacrificial sister. That's why I talked to my father, the Inspector General, and he moved a lot."

"Responsibility, you say? Are you telling me that my sister was responsible for their murder?

"You're hungry, you walk into a lion's cage, you see a eaten rabbit, and you're gonna say the lion's responsible? You're not, are you? The bad news is you're a stupid rabbit who accidentally jumped in without even recognizing you're the bait?

Apparently, to this man, man is no different than an animal. I guess the time Satoru has spent with his family has absolutely nothing to do with how much he cared about his sister.

Especially since Akechi said Satoru was one of the elephants. Probably just a pawn to this man, such as a person other than himself. I guess it's just something that's useful or useless to me. I haven't seen it as a person in the first place.

"Lots of them already! If you don't admit your own sins, I'll engrave you directly into that body!

fiercely. And renewed determination. I can't let this man live, and I'm sorry if even death doesn't bring more suffering, more suffering than those in that class, land, sea and air, and dancing, those sattles have avenged.

"Haha, you make funny jokes. What the hell am I guilty of? You're a lot more guilty than I am."

"What, what? You think I'm guiltier?

Satoru inquires. The truth is that I want to stop talking right now and tear Akechi to pieces, but I hear it for some reason. I can't take my eyes off Akechi's words and actions.

"Yes, for example, how many people have you killed in the time you've been here? Not to mention the fact that you've killed all your school classmates."

"... what's wrong with that? You're not the only one who's avenged me, you just punished the people who kept hurting me."

"Is that why you killed him? You were just chosen for sacrifice? Do you think everyone you killed did enough to have to be killed?

"I did! All of them, they can't help but get killed! And I sanctioned myself!

"Sanctions, are you going to be a god?

"God? Ha, makes me laugh"

Satoru laughs with his nose. Naturally, God is something Satoru doesn't deserve to believe. Because no matter how much Satoru would hurt, no matter how much his family would sacrifice, God wouldn't have reached out to me or anything.

"... the devil, I sold my soul to the devil. Literally. That's why we do whatever ruthless thing we can."

"The more the devil becomes."

Phew, and Akechi's derisive grin was handicapped.

"But I guess I doubt it, yeah. Whatever the guys who have given up a hundred steps and directly abused you, what about the guys that were supposedly waiting groups? You killed Sole too, didn't you?

"... if you take it from me, even the people who pretended not to see it and laughed in the shadows are guilty of the same crime"

"Huh, you don't get bumpy. That'll be fine, but how's Megumi? Why did she need to be killed?

The face of the chairman of the committee I met just before I entered the labyrinth behind Satoru's brain. Tears in her eyes, her face trying to apologize.

"Surely she tried to protect you once, didn't she? And yet it's terrible to kill you."

"It doesn't matter. Because that happened about once. What? That woman then gave me back my palm and treated me like a stalker. That's what caused them to grow!

Yes, it was indeed Megmi who once appealed to stop abusing him, but his subsequent abuse of Satoru became worse and worse with the palm of his hand.

"Ha, is that true? She's guilty enough, no matter how much she (...) did for her own parents"

"... what?

Satoru's eyebrows jumped pickly. Watching how it goes, Akechi continues to look delightful.

"Oh? Didn't you know? Her father, he was a lawyer. He's a pretty good guy, and he's filled with a sense of justice as he takes on cases that everyone hates and stands in court himself. I've seen a father like that, so I guess Megmi also admired his father, and tried to be like him, and imitated him like that."

Such imitation, I somehow guessed, was probably referring to that time when I sheltered Satoru.

"But, poor thing. Shortly after Megmi went to stop abusing Satoru, my father got caught. Besides, the crime of rape is disgraceful. Strangely enough, my father had a solid alibi, but we talked about fingerprints coming out of the evidence, and jail time wouldn't be spared as it was. That's why I reached out to you a little bit because you look so cute. You said I'd prove your father's innocence. Look, my father's a police inspector, and my mother's a prosecutor. That's how easy it was, and instead, under that Nishijima seat, I made him write a pledge never to speak out about Satoru again, and, oh, finally, treat Satoru like a stalker and refuse."

Satoru was stunned for a moment. But now I know why Megmi has been apologizing to Satoru.

To listen to Akechi, I guess that behavior was unintentional to her.

But that doesn't change why I got off on Satoru.

But - still, Satoru had something to check on.

Because the circumstances of her visit to her father are very similar to what Satoru had for him.

"Whatever the reason, it doesn't make any difference what I've been hit with. But the fact that Megmi's father was captured, that's no way..."

"Yeah, you are. I spoke to my father, turned my hand, and he took my sin. He's guilty of a crime."

I knew it, and bite my lips.

"Why are you imitating that?

"Naturally, right? She didn't follow the rules I set. And for extremely selfish and foolish reasons. But I'm sweet, so I turned my back to give her a chance."

Hahaha, and he laughs innocently. How far did this guy go, he trembled in anger.

"But you're certainly right, silly women like Megumi can't help but be killed. You're right."

Akechi talks, laughing and laughing. What does this guy want at the same time as he keeps burning the flames of anger in his chest? And I doubt it.

But I can't take my ears or my eyes off Akechi right now.
