Ototsukai wa Shi to Odoru - Chapter 37

Chapter 37

After having dinner with Roll, I was in the boss’s room .

I stretch out my spine while standing in front of boss as he leans on his desk .

“Well … I wondered if it was something like that”

I told the boss about Mido .

The reaction of the boss was never a lot, but it seemed he was not too surprised .

I’m glad he wasn’t angry .

“… … . Yes, I am sorry I did not say it at once . ”

I still lower my head in my apology . I properly told him that I was wondering whether I should say it .

After all I thought that it would be better to tell the boss because I was alive now with the help of the boss .

If I did not tell firmly the information useful for Anonymous, it is also true that I do not know what will happen later .

No matter how close someone is to you, the enemy is your enemy .

I’m trying to protect myself until I can kill a lot of people . It is impossible to survive without a prepared mindset .

“You talked a lot, it’s fine though”

“… …!”

To the boss who told me, I was relieved .

“But you have to watch your back”

“What do you mean……?”

“That guy is pretty dangerous .

You can get killed right now . “

“……Yes”

That’s what the boss says . My “sound attack” did no damage . Able to withdraw even from Utado-san . Ability to escape even the boss … … .

Even monkeys understand that they will be crushed by larger foes .

“But I think I will leave him to be your rival Shion .

This might be stupid of me … .

But I’m guessing he might be able to encourage your growth . In other words, it’s an investment . “

“… … How will it help if I’m rivaling Mido?”

“Oh but do not get me wrong, the command I give is that he is “killed “to the last, regardless of whether it is your best friend or not .

…… Still I am leaving it to you because it is difficult to execute orders against your will .

Experience and skill are not enough for Shion, you need to be able to do hard things too . “

“I see……”

“If it is is your fate for you to kill each other, so be it, but it is your freedom to decide otherwise .

However, as long as Shion is in Anonymous, please remember that it is necessary to kill him, it is his only fate . “

“……I understand”

That is useless . I am thankful for him giving me time .

If I do not want to be hostile to Mido, I can go through Anonymous instead, and the boss may have suggested such an option .

“Once in a while, if you encounter it during the mission or if the situation changes …”

“I will be killing him, I am seriously aware . ”

“Oh”

I did not come to talk about getting myself killed .

Aside from whether or not I can kill him effectively if I encounter him during my duty, I will fight with murder in mind .

I could do it even today ‘s mission .

“Well, that’s about it .

“Thank you, Boss,”

I bowed and left the boss’s room .

ー ー ー ー

I came home . I entrusted my body to the bed and was closing my eyes .

I feel it was a very long day .

Destroy-san messing up, Rolls sleeping, being shaded by the boss, being aware that Mido is self-defense army … … .

But I will go to bed now . It will be school tomorrow .

The bath … …, it is already troublesome, will I wake up early in the morning tomorrow?

I somehow set the alarm clock, and dropped off into deep sleep .

The next morning . I woke up before the alarm went off, and took a shower after running in the morning .

School begins again today . Everyone may be surprised because I was sunburned during summer vacation .

I was thinking about such a thing while skillfully checking my uniform after a long absence .

If there are concerns, it is about Mido .

I wonder if I can get in contact with him as usual?

After finishing breakfast, I leave home with a bag .

It is around 15 minutes on foot to school . Because it is a distance that is prohibited to go to school by a bicycle, I sweat a lot .

Looking up at the sky, the floating ability person will fly towards our school .

Before when I saw that, I envied them but now it is not so .

My ability is not too bad … … .

“Hello, Kazato!”

A cheerful voice came out from behind, I turned around while making a dorky face .

“Good morning . ”

“Wow, Kazato is sunburned … I was somewhere in the summer vacation . Where did you end up going?”

“I went to the neighboring town . Stop listening because I am ashamed to admit I did not do such a big deal . ”

“Listen, please!”

“I hate it, I did pretty much nothing during summer vacation . ”

“I, I was basically playing, but, oh, I was confessed to by Hitomi’s sister”

“Seriously!?”

“Yeah, I refused it, but since I was confessed to in front of Hitomi, I was in a lot of sister fights . ”

“It was a disaster … … . ”

When I was younger Ohashi’s sister was truly an opposite in character from Ohashi, it was famous when I was junior high school .

It seems that next year she will come into our school . I do not want her to come over .

Or rather, I’m not talking to her as usual .

By the way, yesterday I could not hear the sounds from this guy, but what about now?

I suddenly felt I had to know and turned on my ability and listened to Mido’s sound .

Then, his eyes changed and he looked around all around .

I hurriedly turn off the ability .

Now … … . It was a bit of a strange look apparently yesterday .

“What are you doing, what are you doing?”

“No, I felt that someone is watching me …”

When I turned it on now I was able to hear Mido’s heatbeat . I did not listen yesterday .

That means that the ability of Mido is invoked all the time and is on-off?

No, if it seems that the current ability has detected that I switched mine on, it should not be turning on and off by his will .

The boss said it was probably Mido’s pass through ability .

The ability to Pass through, especially one that Boss’s doesn’t work on, has the possibility of being able to sense whether your ability was used or not .

In other words, he had realized that I was using the ability to hear his sound now .

But, he did not know where I was listening, so he looked around . Is it such a thing?

Well then what was he doing when I could not switch my ability on-off?

No, at that time I was wearing a control ring and I was never conscious of Mido .

So it may not have been a concern for Mido .

Anyway, it seems better not to do extra things .

“Kazuto, please be careful as it seems to be noisy these days . According to rumors, Anonymous movement seems to be active . ”

Mido had a serious face as he told me so .

“… It seems like”

“Here, we are non-ability users .

I think that you should add extra precautions as there is no way to protect yourself . “

“Sure . ”

Neither are non-ability users though … .

I felt guilty this time .

Although he does not know, he is worried about me as an enemy .

That’s why I cannot mix up the identity .

Better yet I should remember this is not a good friend, how easy it would be if he was just a nice guy in class .

“The story changes, but Kazuto, have you finished your homework?”

“It has been done for a while . ”

“I also ended it yesterday, I guess rather than saying it’s over, t I’m not finished yet . ”

While we were speaking, we arrived at the classroom .

A classmate has already come to the classroom pretty well, and I got a seat while greeting them, having met them for the first time in a month .

Roll has already come to school .

We still have time until the morning assembly, so the usual members gathered around my desk .

So school began .
