"Yes... Actually, she didn’t know what to do at first, but later, she accidentally found an old photograph in the school’s library..."
According to Sasaki, the Literary Girl discovered a photo tucked inside an old book in the library. The photo was very old, showing school students from an unknown ti. These students had taken a picture in a strange underground space, and there seed to be so supernatural elents in the photo.
After seeing this photo, the Literary Girl beca very excited, so she planned to find the place where it was taken, take her own picture, and then enter it into a competition.
As for where that place was, the Literary Girl didn’t know, but Sasaki, who had been at this school for a long ti, did know. According to her, the school had dug an air raid shelter in the past, which many students were aware of. However, the shelter had not been opened for a long ti...
"Then why didn’t they go during the day? Or on a day off? Why insist on going at night?"
"We had gone there during the day before, the place was very eerie and terrifying. She took photos but found nothing. So she wanted to go again at night and try..."
"......"
The typical behavior of asking for trouble.
"So that night, I wanted to help them sneak out, after all, we’d been there during the day and knew the place wasn’t dangerous. I originally thought they’d return quickly after taking photos, but I kept waiting and they never ca back. I even thought the girl might be planning to spend the night there, imagining she’d return in the morning, but... the result..."
"Did you inform the police?"
"Of course not! How could I explain this? And later, I even went to the air raid shelter to search for them again, but they were nowhere to be found! I have no idea where they went! Logically, this shouldn’t be possible... Moreover, the police searched the air raid shelter afterward and found nothing..."
Duanmu Huai knew the police conducted a thorough search of the school, and clearly, Sasaki was always watching the situation, so she must have paid special attention to the air raid shelter. Since it was a school facility, the police certainly wouldn’t overlook it.
This wasn’t a detective novel with those incompetent idiots.
Actually, Duanmu Huai had already heard this from Sasaki’s Shadow, but he wanted to ask her again to ensure she wasn’t hiding anything and to give the impression he had interrogated her.
Not like asking a birthdate and then being able to calculate how many people live in your ho... That would be ridiculous.
After confirming she wasn’t lying, Duanmu Huai let the girl leave and called in the next person. At the sa ti, he contacted Yuko Shionji through his mobile, asking her to investigate the police files on the case to see if they had uncovered anything.
Since Sasaki said the police searched the air raid shelter, logically there should be so findings... perhaps?
After interrogating the last student, Duanmu Huai went to the waiting room, where he saw the Masked Girl Squad stiffly standing against the wall, motionless. Mianmu Zuoniao was resting her hands on her cheeks, grinning as she watched them.
"What are you doing?"
Duanmu Huai silently glanced at the group who seed to be standing as punishnt and asked.
"Didn’t I say they can go back after questioning?"
"That’s true..."
Mianmu Zuoniao turned her head to look at Duanmu Huai.
"But they made mistakes, and mistakes need punishnt... So, Satori has them standing as punishnt."
"... Well, it’s your problem."
Duanmu Huai shrugged and turned to leave. Just as he walked out of the counseling room, intending to visit the air raid shelter, he heard light footsteps behind him. Turning around, he saw Mianmu Zuoniao watching him with a smile, like a fledgling trailing behind.
"What does this an?"
"Hmm? Did the teacher find that Traitor?"
"This doesn’t seem like your problem."
"Satori just wants to ask."
As she spoke, Mianmu Zuoniao grinned again.
"So where is the teacher going now?"
"It’s not related to you, is it?"
"It isn’t, but Satori wants to go together..."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Duanmu Huai stopped and turned to look at her.
"Why?"
"Because it seems interesting, isn’t it? So Satori wants to see..."
Even when facing Duanmu Huai’s cold gaze, Mianmu Zuoniao remained innocent, even spinning around with outstretched arms. It seed Duanmu Huai’s stare and intimidation had no effect on her...
Not surprising; her SAN value has dropped to 0!
"What if I refuse?"
"Then... Satori will just have to punish those traitors, like stripping them naked and hanging them on the dormitory rooftop...?"
"......"
Had it been soone else, Duanmu Huai would have thought they were just threatening or joking.
But this person... A lunatic with a SAN value of 0 can do anything!
"Alright."
Duanmu Huai paused in thought and then nodded.
"Co with ."
Although he didn’t care about a madman, perhaps this madman could be useful... Might as well take her along for a look.
