『Chisato-chan』
「Oh, I'm sorry. Did I wake you up?」
Chihiro shakes his head and turns his
body toward them.
The visitor girl had a flowery
appearance.
She was about the same age as Chihiro
and the others. She was not wearing a school uniform, but was dressed in a
Lolita fashion that was cute but somewhat sinister――what is known as punk Lolita. The girl wears a very
unique outfit and exactly identifies herself with it.
She has small breasts and her height
is just under 160 centimeters (5,24 ft).
Her hair was in fluffy twin-tails,
and the overall atmosphere made people think that she was an inhabitant of some
other world, or that the costume she was wearing was a stage costume or
something like that, instead of casual clothes.
But Chihiro didn't recognize her.
So, she was probably a visitor who
was not a student of the school.
**a
「Are you two acquaintances?」
Anyhow, he asks them.
But then, the girl smiles at him. She
has a bright and impressive smile that attracts people irresistibly. It's
pretty cute smile.
「Yeah, that's right. We used to meet a
couple of time. But we haven't seen each other for some reasons recently」
Chihiro's eyes didn't meet the girls.
But he could observe her expression.
However, Chihiro saw something
terrible.
Her smile is soft, but her eyes are
different. Her eyes are glistening with a lecherous emotion, as if she is
licking her tongue in front of her prey.
If Yotsuba's S-ness is the dominance
of a queen, hers is that of a wild predator.
It is because of Chihiro that he was
able to detect such a thing in an instant, not from the front but from the
side. If he is not an expert in watching other people's facial expressions, he
would not notice it for a long time.
Usually, he would focus on her smile
and would not pay attention to her eyes.
「But...」
The girl's smile fades and she looks
down, then looks up again and smiles softly.
「I'm rather famous, so I guess
Marika-chan has been watching me a lot, haven't you?」
「...Famous?」
「Yes. Don't you recognize my face?」
Chihiro stares at her again.
But he can't think of anything.
All he knows is that the girl is
pretty.
『Kaname Ibusuki-chan. She's a popular
idol right now』
「An idol...?」
So, that's it
That would explain the impression he
got from her. She is a person who has been on stage many times and is
accustomed to being cheered by her fans and being subjected to their fervor and
enthusiasm.
Chihiro gazes at a girl, Kaname, who
smiles as she raises her right hand, fist thumb up, and moves it sideways in
front of her neck.
The image of a beheaded girl is
seasoned with cuteness.
「Kaname Ibusuki, a bizarre and brutal
idol who has risen from Sapporo to the national stage. Really, you've never
seen me?」
「I'm sorry, I hardly watch TV」
This is because Maria's apartment
does not have a TV.
If he wanted to, he could watch it on
his laptop or smartphone, but he doesn't feel the need to go that far.
In his parents' house, he used to
watch TV while eating, but he feels that he would not be bothered by the
absence of TV.
「I'm disappointed. I thought I had
become quite well-known among my generation」
「I'm so sorry」
Kaname's shoulders slumped, and Chihiro
felt somewhat sorry for her.
Sigh…
Kaname exhaled and straightened her
posture soon after.
「Well, it's okay. Today, right here
and now, you... "Chisato-chan" have learned my name. Now you are my
prisoner, my victim」
Wink!
This time, she winked and brought her
clenched fists up toward her back. For a moment, it seems as if he can see the
scythe of the Grim Reaper in her hands.
A truly terrifying idol.
Chihiro shudders at the sight of this
novel idol who combines the bizarre and the cute. What's most terrifying is
that it's scary and cute at the same time.
He wonders which feeling is
responsible for the goosebumps on his spine.
Her "victim" is probably
another name for her fans, but how exactly is they sacrificed?
There are too many things to mention,
but he gave up pointing them out for the time being.
「...But why is a friend of
Hazuki-Senpai's here?」
Why would an idol, a student from
another school, come all the way to Shibahou Academy's student council room?
From the conversation they had just
had, it seems that she is not here to see Marika, and if she has some trouble
related to the school festival, she should go to the executive committee.

「Oh, that's right, I'm looking for
someone...」
「Someone?」
「Yes. There should be a boy named
Izumi Chihiro in this student council」
「...huh?」
Shudder!
This time, an unmistakable chill ran
down his spine.
Why?
Why is his name mentioned here?
That's exactly what Chihiro doesn't understand.
For what purpose is she, Kaname
Ibusuki, looking for Chihiro?
And from her word earlier, the word 「victim」
has a heavy meaning.
He wonders if it would be right to
assume that he has not been found out.
Fortunately, Chihiro is now dressed
as a woman. And he is dressed as a maid. So, it is normal that she cannot guess
that she is a man unless she has some prior information.
Gulp...
Chihiro swallows his spit without
Kaname noticing, and glances at Marika.
She nodded her head and didn't say
much.
『Izumi-kun is a member of the student
council, but I don't know where he is right now. Right, Chisato-chan?』
「Yes. I'm sorry I can't help you」
「...I see」
Kaname looks disappointed.
She pondered for a while, then smiled
and nodded.
「Then, that's fine. I'm sorry for
causing you trouble」
『It's okay』
「I hope you don't mind. Um, by the
way...」
「Yes?」
「What exactly are you looking for when
you find Izumi kun?」
Maybe he shouldn't have asked.
Because as soon as he said it,
Chihiro regretted his action.
He saw in Kaname's eyes the same
lecherous color that he had first seen in her face.
「Who know? It's just a small business」
That was all the reply he got.
Kaname quickly turns herself around
and moves to the doorway of the student council room. She put her hand on the
door knob, opened it lightly, and turned around.
「Oh, right, Marika-chan」
『What is it?』
「I'm so sorry. You have lost your
voice. I can't believe you'll never sing again」
He doesn't know why.
When Kaname's eyes were downcast and
she sounded sad, it sounded to Chihiro like she was saying, "It sounds
good to me".
But Chihiro doesn't know if Marika
felt the same way as him.
