two years ago there was a mother preparing a lunchbox with her trembling body and exhausted face she carefully decorated The Lunchbox the mother's name was nagger Mary and she was 35 years old at the time her hands now holding Chopsticks carefully placed pieces of seaweed on The Lunchbox as decoration she was startled when a young boy approached greeting her with a good morning this caused her to drop the seaweed from her Chopsticks the boy approached her and apologized saying he didn't mean to surprise her the boy also told his mother that she didn't need to
go through all the trouble of preparing his lunch so early in the morning his name was nager kirataka a second-year middle school student with a fearful expression his mother said that he would get teased if the lunch he brought was too plain kataka just chuckled softly telling his mother she was worrying too much he also said that the lunch boxes she made were the best in the world he asked her to have more confidence in that his mother who had been anxious gradually calmed down and smiled gently she watched herself preparing a drink for breakfast
there was a warehouse at sacred tear School inside kirataka was being tortured kicked in the stomach on his stomach was a Target surrounded by Point markers the person stomping on him aimed directly at the center the part marked with 100 points using a shoe fitted with small spikes kirataka was powerless while the one stomping on him felt Victorious the boy said to his friends that he would treat them later his friends included a large boy sitting on a climbing board a girl sitting beneath him and a boy who was eating the large boy was named
AI Kima the girl was shikimi kumuru and the one eating was koaz sabasa they were all in the same year as kiraka second year of Middle School kiraka lay weekly on the floor his hands tied to the legs of a table he groaned wetting himself and urine spilled onto kinoa shoes furious at the sight kigawa stomped hard on kir taka's body his friends watched without concern with some even recording kinoa was doing to kirataka a boy came over wrapping his arm around kinugawa and warning him that he had previously told him not to injure kirataka
space kinugawa froze upon hearing the boy's cold tone he immediately apologized realizing he had lost control the boy understood but warned that if kinoa ever did it again they would no longer be friends the boy's name was Oka nozomu also a second-year student kinoa broke out in a cold sweat terrified by oka's warning as they were about to leave Oka approached kirataka and kicked over The Lunchbox kirataka had brought spilling it everywhere he commented that character Bento were sticky and felt dirty kirataka froze watching his food now being trampled by Oka then Oka brought out
another lunch box filled with cockroaches and rice mixed together Oka explained that cockroaches lay about 20 eggs and reproduce around 19 times in a lifetime making about 180 per cockroach the newborn cockroaches would continue the cycle eventually filling kaka's stomach crawling out from every hole in his body Oka Brought The Lunchbox closer to kiraka telling him he could become the mother of those cockroaches which make kiraka clamp his mouth shut so hard that the target marker on his stomach fell off Oka grabbed a handful of the rice and cockroaches forcing it towards kaka's mouth his
friends simply recorded what was happening kirataka screamed for help but no one paid attention finally Oka managed to shove a spoonful of the mixture into kaka's mouth causing kirataka to Cry tears streaming down his face kiraka sobbed uncontrollably while looking at his scattered lunch on the floor he picked up a piece of sausage no longer intact and ate it while crying the five perpetrators walked down the school Corridor proudly they commented to Oka that nagger was almost tamed the only girl in the group remarked that Oka would be using nagger for the next 5 years
feeling glad that their middle school and high school were into integrated even if ner was alone she wouldn't pose a threat to aaya the girl then asked aaya a question that made him exhale slowly he recalled the time when they were playing with UDA UDA was sitting on a toilet with a rope around his neck connected to a board above the bathroom allowing kinoa to pull the Rope at any time choking UDA the five of them cheered UDA on even though his face had turned pale they said the one who got the closest score when
he gave up would win all the candy kenawa said he would kill UDA if he couldn't hold on for more than 10 seconds they also made sure to record everything that happened Oka told UDA not to make such a face because they were just playing Oka gave kinugawa a look signaling him to pull the Rope hard lifting UDA off the ground and choking him UDA cried out saying he gave up with a cold tone Oka told UDA that he didn't appreciate how UDA was wasting what they had prepared for their game he then ordered kinoa
to pull even harder suddenly Kaka rushed in grabbing uda's legs and Bing for everything to stop UDA was released and the five of them stepped back they told kiraka that he had ruined their game Oka told kiraka that he would replace UDA next time hearing this kirataka started crying the group left Yuda and kiraka behind aaya mentioned to his friends that he didn't like the way kiraka looked at him as he was about to open the door to his house kiraka felt anxious and tried to calm himself with enthusiasm he opened the door and said
I'm home he froze when a shower of confetti greeted him his mother also welcomed him with a birthday cake that read happy birthday with candles shaped as the number 14 marking his 14th birthday it turns out today is kirat taka's birthday his mother noticed a bruise under kaka's cheek and asked her son about it kaka's lips trembled as he tried to hold back his tears he lied to his mother saying it was from a falled School his mother looking panicked explained that it could be dangerous if it became infected she told him she would help
clean the wound and asked him to sit down kiraka tried to reassure her by saying he was fine but his mother firmly replied that it was not fine kirataka now listening to his mother sat down in the chair while treating kaka's bruise his mother told him that she once wanted to become a school nurse grimacing in pain kiraka asked why she wanted to become a school nurse his mother explained that she was bullied in school as an orphan she had no family to rely on the school nurse was the only one who allowed her to
stay providing her a place that felt like home that's why she was fully qualified to become a nursing teacher then kiraka asked why she gave up on her dream while putting a plaster on kaka's face she answered that she did so because she had gained a family she wanted to protect more than anything else kiraka smiled and thought to himself that he too would protect his mother's smile however his mother sensed that kirataka was hiding something in car park outside someone was talking to Mary kaka's Mother the person said that kirataka was now in middle
school and clearly needed his privacy Mary understood that but something was wrong she felt that kiraka was forcing himself to be a good child the person on the other end said that Mary was being too protective that person was Niger Tai chiru now 39 years old he was also accompanied by his assistant who suddenly mentioned that their target was on the Move Nar quickly said goodbye and hung up the phone abruptly Mary felt that what nager said was not the issue she was worried about meanwhile kitaka lay in his room playing with his phone he
muttered that his mother was very kind if she knew what he was going through she would storm into the school as he played a game app about a warrior killing demons he thought it would be worse if that happened he couldn't kill the real life demons suddenly kaaz sent him a file containing a video in the video his mother was recorded committing ancen Act kiraka was so shocked that he sat up immediately but he realized that the voice in the video wasn't his mother's voice ha also sent a message telling kiraka to meet him at
the observatory kiraka began to sweat when he read kaz's message he finally decided to leave his room and get ready to meet koaz before leaving he opened his mother's door to make sure she was asleep then quietly closed it Mary who heard the sound of footsteps and a door opening woke up and sensed that it was her son kiraka kiraka now stood in the snow facing five people who always harassed him Oka greeted him first kiraka remained standing by his bike Oka sitting on a guardrail was checking his phone and mentioned that he had seen
kaka's mother during class observation day he said that kaka's mother looked very shy and that he felt like he could sleep with her anytime another one of his friends added that although kaka's mother had an innocent face she could still be slept with even the only girl in the group said she was better than kaka's useless mother that made kiraka Furious and he screamed at them to shut up but his scream only made them laugh this left kirataka stunned and confused he looked at oay with a mix of confusion and fear Oka warned him not
to look at him like that with a cold stare Oka told kirataka who still hadn't realized his position kirataka hearing this was shocked and started to sweat kiraka immediately knelt his face still in shock Oka felt that kaka's current reaction was much better now he held his phone in front of kirataka showing the obscene video of his mother Oka said that kirataka should be the one to spread the video kirataka couldn't hold back his tears anymore and begged Oka not to do it kirataka was now crying uncontrollably Oka watching kaka's tear soaked face sighed in
exasperation Oka then said that if kiraka jumped off the cliff he would delete the video kiraka froze upon hearing that crying he said that he didn't want to die aaya calmly told him not to worry he would only suffer a few Broken Bones from that height they even made way for kiraka to jump off the cliff one of them was already recording the scene with a smile Oka invited kiraka to jump Oka also told kiraka to leave his shoes behind saying he wanted to walk down the mountain with him later Oka grew irritated with kaka's
expression and exhaled sharply the cold winter wind blew fiercely and the air stung the skin with steady steps Oka approached kirataka who was sitting beside inside his bike Oka then threatened kiraka again saying he would delete the video If kiraka jumped hearing this kaka's eyes widened wouldn't he die if he jumped from this Cliff hok's smirk was clear and he said that kiraka didn't need to worry this height wouldn't kill him just cause a few minor fractures the five of them set the path for kiraka to follow and kiraka heard their laughter kiru and sabasa
were even ready with their phones to record the scene Oka ordered k AKA to jump in a threatening tone as if there was a light task with an expression that showed no guilt kiraka was still fighting with his thoughts terrified of what lay ahead on one hand he didn't want to die but on the other he couldn't let the video of his mother spread fear and sadness overwhelmed kaka's body Oka then said something while crouching in front of kirataka aligning his face with kaka's ear still kirataka didn't move he remained seated Frozen Oka whispered something
to kiraka causing the teenage boy's body to tense even more Oka counted down the seconds by the third count kirataka immediately took off his shoes and ran jumping over the road barrier oka's smile widened as kirataka followed what he had said while the other four were shocked when kitaka began jumping over the road barrier kaka's body fell through the air the boy couldn't let his mother be humiliated he would do anything to protect her his body hit the asphalt below and his legs were immobile the pain was so intense it felt like numbness tears stram
down his face but his voice couldn't release the pain that coursed through his body Mary walked through the nighttime streets guided Only By the Light of the street lamps and a sliver of moonlight her eyes stayed on her phone which showed her child's location she was puzzled as to why katako was in the mountains in the middle of a cold winter night the coordinates Murray was following brought her closer to kirataka from a distance Mira saw a figure lying on the asphalt facing her the shape of the body was familiar to Mary step by step
she moved closer her eyes widened and her heart raced when she realized it was her child's body what had started as quick footsteps now turned into a frantic run Mary's tears uncontrollable her cries turned into hysterical whales as her Pace couldn't keep up with the speed of the container truck that struck her child's body Mary's cries became heart-wrenching screams she ran toward her son's lifeless body screaming so loudly that it echoed up the cliff oka's four friends ran when they heard Mary's screams and saw her holding kaka's body sooshi suggested they leave quickly urging the
others to flee but the only thing they found strange was oka's calm body the teenager still stared down at Mary who continued cradling her lifeless child Oka sighed softly his gaze turning somber and he muttered that he had allowed kirataka to win and Escape now Mary was crying her heart out now Mary lay curled up on her bed Hing a box Nur standing at her door also felt guilty seeing Mary in such a state Nur explained that they had found kir taka's note and shoes at the observatory leading them to believe he had committed suicide
Mary adamantly denied it insisting that they had killed him nage felt even guiltier apologizing for not being able to protect them either Mary curled up even more her tears flowing harder nage regretted not realizing it sooner they had compared the handwriting on the will found at the observatory to cure es it was written by the victim himself the recording clearly showed that he was hit by the truck while committing suicide NJ wondered to himself whether he had hurt kiraka by trying to love him but he also received reports that they had checked kaka's Tweets in
the days leading up to his death the posts expressed frustration with his life hatred toward his father and even Suicidal Thoughts NJ thought if a child can't find comfort from their parents aren't the parents just as guilty for failing to protect the child meanwhile Mary still overwhelmed by sadness cut strawberries without realizing it she cut her own finger seeing the blood she instinctively lifted the knife intending to wound herself further but everything stopped when she heard something fall it was kaka's bag spilling its contents Mary reached for it and found kaka's diary among the scattered
books as she opened one of the pages she froze upon reading that on June 5th hiraka had written about being hit by them again Mary flipped to another page on July 20th kiraka had written about how they had stripped off his swimming clothes and thrown them into the pool Mary was shocked her eyes wide again on November 3rd they had buried his pencil case in a flower pot then on December 3rd kirataka had written that he needed to report them because of bullying kirataka also wrote that he had kept all the evidence on a USB
drive hidden in his desk drawer and everything kiraka had written in his diary was true Mary was now watching the video recording dated December 3rd from the USB in the video one of them was holding a rabbit while kiraka beged saying he had written I'm sorry 50 times and pleading with them not to kill the rabbit kinugawa casually playing on his phone said that kiraka should have written I will kill myself a thousand times Mary was truly stunned this time she continued to watch all the videos stored on the USB there was a part where
they Tor nagger clothes a video of kinoa pinning kiraka to the ground and lifting his head and another where they forced kiraka to cry on camera Mary clicked the mouse hard kiraka had written that they were demons those demons were kinoa shikimi ajiki and KO in the USB folders with their names were visible but they were just Fanatics ohay nozomu was their leader kiraka had written that despite everything Oka was the only one left he had to gather evidence he hoped the the buling would stop soon he didn't want his mother to worry about him
anymore kiraka wrote this while crying his tears soaking the pages Mary reading it was equally devastated kiraka said he had to get revenge Mary saw footage of kiraka eating his lunch off the floor his hands tied behind his back but kirataka felt his revenge was too weak Mary also thought they deserved judgment 2 years later students were talking about a new school nurse they said the nurse was very beautiful and had recently returned from abroad they initially thought the nurse's appearance catered to male tastes and some considered it distasteful but when they heard stories about
her they couldn't imagine anything inappropriate involving her rumor had it that this nurse had even managed to convince a Truman student who had defied their home room teacher to come to the nurse's office they believed what she did was like a God's work that's why she had earned the nickname Maria of the nurse's office a student was surprised and told Maria that it was strange to still be a virgin in high school Maria was also surprised to hear this and tried to calm the student down asking what she meant by her statement she said that
she could only talk about it with Maria suddenly a student came in looking faint and said he felt unwell and had a slight fever Maria went to check on him she placed her right hand on the student's forehead while her other hand was on her own forehead trying to compare their temperatures Maria realized that the student had a rather high fever she asked him to lie down on the bed meanwhile the student who had been speaking with Maria insisted on getting an answered to her question Maria slightly sweating with anxiety asked the student not to
delve deeper into it another student arrived and asked Maria for a moment the student recognized him as Oka Maria greeted him with a sweet smile as Oka walked into the room the student felt she should excuse herself however Oka said it was fine as there was nothing important the fever student was already lying on the bed the student still chose to leave making Maria chuckle at her behavior Maria asked what brought Oka to her room Oka explained that the student council had made posters dedicated to anti- Boline week and hoped they could put one in
the infirmary as well the poster meant that there would be no bullying and the school would be full of love because everyone supports each other Maria smiled sweetly upon hearing this Maria pointed to the entrance and told Oka he could put it there so everyone could see it Oka hurried to place the poster where Maria had indicated while Oka was doing this Maria stood right behind him and praised him saying that Oka was amazing for being so enthusiastic about student council activities OA tried to downplay it saying he just did it because he enjoyed it
Maria continued to praise him she had heard that Oka aspired to be a psychiatrist like his father a job that saves people's hearts and that was an amazing profession Oka confirmed Maria's words adding that he wanted to follow in his Father's Footsteps because wounds to the heart are not visible Maria responded with with a vacant stare saying that Oka was very kind she then asked Oka if his actions were also influenced by his mother Oka glanced at Maria and instead threw the question back asking if Maria knew about his mother Maria replied that she used
to know his mother and had heard her call Oka nozomu Oka laughed finding it very embarrassing and admitted that Maria really knew him Maria responded that the nurses in the infirmary knew everything 2 years ago the first person Maria killed was nagar Mary she divorced her husband cut off contact with her workplace and friends and reverted to her maiden name eosi Maria in court she underwent full body plastic surgery to completely change her appearance infiltrating the school was the easiest step of all Maria was forced to serve an elderly man who would constantly remind her
of her former small family but now she was very different and the only remaining step was judgment from everyone on one side A man was cornering a bespectacled woman until she was pressed against the back wall with fear the woman apologized saying she couldn't be a part-time worker because she had to study at an intensive school she also added that she could only give Ka the man in front of her 20,000 yen this month Ka immediately stomped on the woman's stomach hard making her gasp in shock ha showed a video of gima the woman he
was currently stomping on shopping in the video Ka said that yima was very foolish because of the Theft video went viral she wouldn't be able to get into any University the man's full name was kaaz subasa now in his second year of high school he then stomped harder on Nima's stomach and told her that she had to pay 30,000 yen each month and demanded the money right away the woman even vomited from the intense pressure K applied kaaz did not forget to record the incident but suddenly Maria arrived and asked what they were doing in
this corner both yuima and kaaz seemed shocked by Maria's presence kaaz immediately began to pretend hugging Aima and telling Maria that yajima had vomited and he was trying to comfort her Maria looked anxious about what Ka said then Maria offered yajima to go to the infirmary before yajima could respond Ka threatened her that he would spread the video as she complained kaaz added that he was not just talking about the Theft video but that yima surely understood what other video he was referring to yima held back her tears and told Maria she was fine Maria
approached her trying to understand yima she held eug jima's hand which was covered in vomit without any disgust and told yuima that she could come to her if anything like this happened she also said that the infirmary was a place for kids like her Maria even looked at yima with a sincere and deep gaze Maria walked away from them kaaz watched her in hope that Maria did not discover what he was doing Maria then said she almost forgot she grabbed ka's phone and said she would return it after class kaaz panicked and was also shocked
to see his phone in Maria's hand seemingly out of nowhere Maria repeated that the school rules clearly stated that koaz was not allowed to use his phone at school Maria smiled softly in stark contrast to Kaw who stood fuming behind her now the five of them were gathered on a rooftop shikimi asked kaaz if he couldn't believe that Maria almost caught him and threatened yuima kinoa told shikimi to be quiet and threaten Ka saying he would kill him if they got involved in this matter auki also said he did not want to go to prison
over this haaz standing before his friends tried to calm them and asked them not to worry about it he also added that they didn't even know about nagar's death two years ago right behind him a man stood motionless his friends were shocked making Ka confused and he turned around to check who was behind him it turned out to be Oka Oka asked Ka about what he had just talked about Ka immediately started sweating from moka's cold stare Ka quickly apologized and tried to explained that he did not mean it that way Oka said that he
should be the one apologizing because he didn't want to hear his name he kept remembering oka's rebellious gaze kaaz became more anxious with oka's words he pulled out a 5,000 yen note and said he was fine lately which was why he wanted to give Oka that money as a gift for being his friend however the response koaz received was Oka leaving with a loud slam of the door aiki said koaz had just stepped on aa's landmine shikimi only made things worse worse kaaz trembled instantly even growling as his jaw clenched tightly with frustration kaaz is
now forcefully pushing nagar's head into a bucket of water he is also holding nagar's hands behind his back kinugawa feeling bored asks kaaz how he can tolerate the nonsense he is doing shikimi also adds that Kaw should just end everything today ha feeling satisfied doesn't want to stop and even wants to continue playing longer he grabs neer's hair and tells him that if he can't steal from his parents kaaz will seize his pocket money however kaaz thinks he can get 10 gcha with the 3,000 yen he got from nager in kaaz hopes Oka will be
pleased with what he gets this time nagar rising from his despair tells kaaz that he doesn't need to bother even if he offers tribute to aaya Oka wouldn't even care about him Nar adds that doesn't Ka know that better than anyone else Ka feels truly slapped by the remark he even throws the bucket of water in frustration his other friends seem calm indiff with a face full of annoyance Kaw silently curses [ __ ] for humiliating him even after he dies on the other hand Maria is dealing with her laptop she is reading a message
that came into her email containing complaints from her students Maria tries to respond and provide Solutions as best as she can she is now connecting kaz's phone to her laptop using a data cable she is checking the many folders on kaz's phone there is a photo of a girl who is now in her second year class C with with attendance number five standing in minimal clothing many minor infractions and voyerism actions have been confirmed a criminal who takes explicit sexual images of individuals to use as blackmail material ha targets quiet and docile female students who
seem unlikely to retaliate there is a video showing yuima lying weakly with her hands handcuffed while Ka is burning the lower part of Yu jima's stomach with a cigarette continuously torturing her everything is becoming clearer Maria considers kaaz to be a cruel and cowardly demon she remembers how Ka threatened yima that he would spread the Theft video the woman had done Maria vividly recalls the look yuima gave her she imagines that if kirataka her deceased son were in yu jima's position upon arriving home she removes her outer clothes and only keeps her underwear she is
in kaka's Shrine filled with all the photos and belongings of her son when he was alive she falls asleep hugging kaka's memory tightly though all this time she has only been hugging a photo of kiraka she promises kiraka that she will do her best as his mother kaaz is now counting the money he has in his room he feels that eima gives him more money every time he harasses her he dares to oppose her even though she is just a stupid woman in his view suddenly his phone beeps with a new message who could be
sending him a message at this hour when he opens his phone he finds a video of himself in a powerless State he is extremely shocked and Frozen upon seeing it kaaz walked quickly wondering who was behind this incident he saw some women taking photos of falling leaves and blooming flowers on the other side there were three students taking selfies to capture their moments meanwhile kaaz was overwhelmed with anger and fear he wondered who had taken the video of him two videos were sent to him yesterday the first video was taken by hacking his phone's camera
and the second was of nagir kiraka which should have been deleted 2 years ago there was an extortion message sent along with the videos If Kaz didn't want the videos uploaded he had to prepare 3 million yen he couldn't possibly pay 3 million yen he had already spent most of the money he had earned but if he didn't pay his life would be over kaaz was truly desperate the students behind him were enjoying spring and some planned to go to an amusement center after class there were also two female students happily photographing the beautiful blooming
cherry blossoms somehow Ka managed to photograph the lower part of those students as part of his collection kaaz thought the students were too noisy he said They begged him to take the photos while wearing short skirts then he uploaded the photos to a website someone quickly replied and asked Kaw to send photos of other Elementary School girls they even offered 30,000 yen for that Ka sitting on the steps was startled when someone standing next to him grabbed his phone the person was Oka he managed to take ka's phone while saying that coaz was not allowed
to use his phone at school HED Frozen place he felt he had been incredibly foolish this time as Oka checked his phone kaaz felt like everything was over Oka replied with a small smile and said you're really good at making money then Oka invited him to go out after school kaaz was terrified because he didn't want to become poor there was a woman watching their every move from behind a window that woman was Maria Maria managed to delete the hacking app she had installed when she seized kaz's phone remotely the 3 million yen extortion was
just a bluff Maria wanted him to feel the same pain as his victims many of the evidence left by ka could be selectively chosen if Maria wanted to give him a social punishment she could do it right now but it would only be revenge and Maria declared that the curse would begin now Maria was shocked to see kaaz walking dejectedly but in her eyes kirataka was happily hugging his friend kirataka and his friend seemed to be laughing together Maria's gaze became melancholic this time suddenly the door opened to reveal student with her hair tied in
two ponytails standing in the doorway with a Nave expression she asked if she was disturbing Maria Maria greeted her with a gentle smile and replied that she wasn't disturbing her at all the student was yuima yuima was now lying down while Maria checked and ensured Yu jima's Comfort Maria told yuima that children under perfect supervision seem to tend to push themselves too hard Aima was surprised that Maria knew such a thing Maria answered that nurses in the Care Room tend to know more than than people think that's why yima could talk about anything with her
yima hearing Maria's words buried her head even deeper into the blanket yuima began to talk she said there had been an attempted theft she once talked about a friend of hers however she was caught by a bad person and forced to do Terrible Things yet she endured because she thought she was only reaping what she had sown yima then asked Maria what she was thinking Maria replied that yima didn't need to give up yima was shocked to hear that while stroking aima's back Maria told her that if everything was too difficult yima could always ask
for her help she would protect her in any way she could yima cried upon hearing this she buried her head again and said that's what she wanted to tell Maria then she asked Maria to leave a message for her Maria agreed eima cried uncontrollably Maria watching her once again imagined that eima was kitaka her gaze was even more melancholic than before the clock now showed 5 in the evening time to go home from school while walking kaaz was still curious about who the perpetrator was his eyes caught a girl in front of him walking alone
the girl was yuima Ka smiled slightly at her he called out to yuima who was walking right behind him yuima froze immediately kaaz said he was now a little annoyed and asked yuima to come to him and comfort him Yu jima's body trembled hearing K's voice and she now lowered her head even more however she remembered Maria's words that she could run and asked for help from that woman Maria would also protect her Maria's words gave her the courage to run away from coaz koaz looked surprised to see this usually yima would only tremble and
freeze in place but this time she started to dare to escape yima kept running with all her strength and speed unfortunately kaaz managed to catch her and now threatened her with a cutter saying so you're the culprit yuima was immediately terrified here they were now at kaz's house house in the bathroom kaaz kept pushing Yu jima's head into the tub full of water with his anger reaching its peak he asked yuima why his videos weren't on Yu jima's phone that he was holding kaaz pulled yaj jima's hair lifting her head breathlessly yajima answered that she
had already told him she didn't know anything Ka squeezed aima's hair tightly and said that this girl was the only one who hated him so much he repeated his question about the video's whereabouts on y jima's phone yuima now brle screamed that she had already told him she didn't know anything kaaz was shocked by aima's bravery this time Ka threatened her again that he would spread not only the explicit videos but also the Theft video but yima wasn't backing down instead she challenged kaaz to upload the video she would also tell everyone what kaaz had
done to her in return kaaz was completely dumbfounded as yuima tried to expose herself and how foolish she was with Rising emotion Ka moved closer to yuima holding his phone shouting that aima's further studies her job everything would be lost just like that wasn't yuima afraid that would happen eima replied that she was afraid that's why she endured this however it was even more frightening to continue enduring ka's demands she shouted at Ka to get out of her life but the response she got was Ka now pushing her head even deeper into the tub filled
with water Ka screamed repeatedly telling the girl to be quiet he remembered ok words that if koaz went back to being like before he could also return to being like before he shouted at yuima to come back come back to how she used to be like the yima he knew yima cried inside even looking exhausted while groaning for help suddenly ha was lifted off the ground and found himself being choked by Maria at that moment Maria injected him right in the neck yima lifted her head and regulated her breath still gasping she looked towards the
door but all she saw was Darkness kaaz woke up from his fainting spell he thought he was dreaming because it was impossible for yuima to fight back like that and Maria would never make such a scary face in front of him was a meat cleaver lying there he was startled and woke up immediately his freed right hand clenched while his body trembled he froze upon scene kaka's hand locked and hanging above him he realized that he was now confined within iron bars across from him stood Maria who had just arrived saying welcome to the penitentiary
second year class see ka tubaki ka stammered calling Maria by her title suddenly water began pouring down on him forcefully the water came from above his head like a waterfall he yelled at Maria you got to be [ __ ] with me the beginning and the start of the curse Maria with her cold gaze said it was time to start her curse Ka wondered why Maria was doing this the water continued to flow soaking his prison meanwhile Maria stood motionless kaaz appeared frightened but tried to convince V himself that what Maria was doing was just
a joke he thought that Maria was doing all this because someone asked her to haaz also said that even if Maria did tell everyone she should not have accepted such a request Maria just stared at him with a cold expression her body not moving at all kaaz became even more frightened Maria the woman in front of him was serious kaaz asked again why Maria was doing all this Maria responded that it was a punishment it was a punishment Maria was giving because koaz had stolen something important from someone else the water began to rise around
kaz's feet Maria continued saying that was why she was going to steal kaz's oxygen at that moment the flow of water inside increased kaaz struggled to Freed his handcuffs but Maria warned him that it was useless kaaz tried to explain in fear that it was all a misunderstanding he said that ejima must have told her that the girl was bullying him but kaaz thought they were just joking kaaz defended himself saying he might have gone too far since yuima didn't resist much but if the girl really disliked it she would have made a bigger deal
out of it Maria remembered how pitiful kiraka was crying as he wrote that he didn't want to make his mother worry kaaz emphasized that if yuima hadn't resisted it was proof that it wasn't a big problem however all he received was a kick from Maria telling him to shut up kaaz tried to control himself and persuaded Maria that after all he was in prison now there must be a way to a ton for his sins Maria gave a hint to open the handcuffs on kaz's wrists the handcuffs needed to be opened by inserting a pin
Maria said that the greatest crime the man had committed represented by the numbers would set him free he could escape from the ceiling afterward but if he was too foolish to do that he should be ready to offer his blood as atonment for his sins the meat cleaver was ready to come down and slice kaz's wrist at that moment kaaz panicked immediately he struggled hard trying to manipulate the PIN to open the handcuffs he still tried to boast that Maria shouldn't mess with him he kept trying to solve the pin kaaz also thought that Maria
had no intention of letting him choose from the start he tried to remember his greatest sin was it extortion and what did the number represent but he had to try every combination until he understood he tried from one then two and so on his emotions were truly tested and in his frustration he hit the handcuffs hard because he was extremely desperate and had no time to crack the PIN in he realized that the water in his cell had risen to his hips then he shouted apologizing to Maria for what he had done Maria on the
other side only stared with a cold expression kaaz was already shaking and his tears were uncontrollable kaaz cried desperately he felt that everything he was facing was too terrifying and absurd he imagined his four friends Oka shikimi kinugawa and a jiki he tried to call for their help he remembered the time when they were five bullying Kaka he said he wanted to socialize more with others he also clearly remembered kaka's face when he poured water on him Ka suddenly realized and remembered someone's name nagar kirataka he looked back and saw Maria's eyes now wide open
he called out nagar's name more loudly trying to think and find a correlation between nager and the four-digit number he needed to solve he smiled at Maria realizing that the pin corresponded to the date of nagar's death Maria's eyes widened in Surprise kaaz became more panicked as the water level reached his chest and the large pipe above continued to pour water vigorously kaaz didn't know how Maria who he referred to as the old woman knew about nagar but he didn't care now the most important thing was to escape if he could Escape he would not
have trouble dealing with a single woman he smiled when he found a more logical clue however he unfortunately forgot when nagar's death anniversary was he was quite sure that the weather during nagar's death was somewhat cold he guessed the months to be January and February he cursed in frustration and shouted neer's name loudly he also shouted why neer's death wasn't on a holiday the water had reached his mouth making it difficult to speak but suddenly the water level started to recede slowly koaz looked at Maria but Maria gave a wide cunning smile this made koaz
panic and indeed his wrist was already under the meat cleaver above Ka screamed loudly feeling intense pain in his wrist unbeknownst to him his right hand was gripping the meat cleaver he screamed in disbelief unable to Fathom that he could be cutting his own hand he also did not know nagar's date of death Maria's cold gaze reappeared as she said that she felt Ka should die at that moment kaaz continued to be submerged in the Rushing Water saying that he did not want what happened to nagar had happened to him he tried to endure the
pain and kept looking at his wrist which was starting to be sliced he felt he would die soon and indeed his right hand moved to slice kaka's wrist even deeper this time kaz's face was a mess he continued to curse at what he was feeling he tried to convince himself while his hand kept slicing deeper he said in his moans that he was someone recognized by Oka he couldn't die here he would go to college and enjoy his life he would make a lot of money from his foolish [ __ ] he would become very
rich he felt destined for a very good life kaka's hand was already partially severed the slicing stopped when he felt it had reached the bone and the bone was very hard but suddenly the knife managed to break the bone causing more blood to flow than before he screamed while staring at Maria who was holding her phone and showing her pained expression at that moment kaaz lost Consciousness his eyes bleeding the prison Maria created was filled with blood and koaz was still hanging there Maria entered to unlock the pin on the handcuffs she said that the
greatest crime coise committed was not sending the child to his death but being born there for the PIN for the handcuffs was 630 which meant kaz's own birth date Maria burned kaz's body in a large barrel while sitting silently not far from the barrel behind her were still many bloodstained tools from the smoke created a clear image of the memory of her small family cooking together emerged this made Maria hug herself tightly with her eyes wide open she coughed occasionally imagining how beautiful her small family's memories were she even bit her own lip until it
bled she buried her head in her folded knees then she looked up again and said it was time to leave the female students were now discussing the hot issue of kaz's not attending school for over 2 weeks they were curious about where coaz had gone it turned out the police were also involved it even became an article on the internet Oka who was walking past the students continued to be busy with his phone he tried to contact coaz more than three times he was also quite confused about kaz's sudden disappearance oka's steps halted when a
man asked him a question the man introduced himself as nager teiru a detective from the public safety department he wanted to talk to Oka about kaz's disappearance Oka looked at him intently fate had brought them together when examining the student registration form for investigative purposes there was Ka whose full name was Ka subasa aged 17 interestingly in the comments section it was written that what he liked was Oka and what he disliked was shikimi when Mary had just given birth to her first son nager tried to approach Mary's bedside he saw the baby boy crying
loudly he told Mary that Mary would be exhausted if she continued to care for the baby ngir was happy that their baby boy was truly healthy but he had to protect Mary the baby boy was named kirataka ngar found Mary very sweet even though she had no parents and he hoped their child would learn from him ngir stared intensely at little kiraka and said it was time to sleep kiraka immediately cried his heart out upon seeing his father's gaze Mary immediately took kirataka into her arms December 12th became the birth date of nagar kirataka nage
said that the school also reported no unusual incidents involving Co Oka added that's why they don't know where he suddenly went Oka about 90° saying that detective n is their only hope he also asked nage to help him find Co n reassured him that it was his job Oka did this to hide his true feelings beneath the surface n marage said that they were classmates of his son that's why he couldn't view this as just a regular case Oka then asked what his son's name was n kirataka n answered this made Oka display a sad
expression n glanced at him observing the expression Oka showed Oka said it was a very unfortunate incident nage replied that Oka was very kind and he was pleased that the man still remembered his deceased son Ned held the ring on his ring finger saying that after he divorced his wife he never managed to talk about her again Oka looked closely at the ring shikimi kinukawa and aiki were now waiting for Oka at a restaurant that sold Burgers and Fries shikimi placed her phone on the table while playing with it out of boredom aiki was complaining
to the waiter that the fries were too salty kukawa was leaning on a long bench kinukawa asked his friends if they knew about kaz's disappearance shikimi lazily replied that she didn't care if kaaz was missing she instead asked kinukawa for his opinion on a good birthday gift for aaya angrily kinukawa responded that koaz was their friend shikimi nonchalant asked kinukawa not to be angry about it shikimi jumped in surprise when she got a notification on her phone she ran out causing kinukawa to yell asking where she was going shikin replied that she was going fishing
demonstrating a fishing motion at the door shikin was now at a hotel with a man the man said that it was the first time he was set up with a nice nice and beautiful girl that's why when he was first matched with Kumi he thought Kumi or shikimi were naughty and very mean shikimi responded that she was a good girl the man didn't need to order the most expensive items during kneels or fiddle with his phone while they were talking shikimi with emotion asked the man if there were really annoying women like that and that
he should just leave them alone the man smiled sweetly and said that Kumi was very nice shikimi gently caressed the man saying that she saw he always suffered in bad relationships and that she thought it was all over now Kumi said this while showing her gentle side it made the man cry suddenly the doorbell rang signaling someone was outside shikimi thought it was room service the man opened the door and found the thug with a disheveled appearance the thug immediately embraced the man saying he looked like he had just jumped out of water the man
asked who the thug was but quickly the thug covered his mouth and asked if he planned to commit indecent acts with high school student the man was confed confused as he knew shikimi was 22 years old shikimi standing not far from them apologized and said that ogi the man she was dating looked so easy that she lured him but since ogi could have fun with a beautiful girl a tring Yen wasn't too much right shikimi managed to extort oi at that moment ogi started sweating in place terrified shikimi was soaking in the bathtub playing with
her phone and singing cheerfully Meanwhile The Voice outside sounded like someone was asking to stop and was in pain she was looking at her phone seeing some very cute dresses and buying them online she was thrilled and couldn't wait for the dresses to arrive she closed her eyes and started daydreaming she imagined facing Oka who was hugging her while praising her cute dress the smile on shae's face didn't fade as she imagined it shikimi was completely Intoxicated by her own fantasy in stark contrast to the shouting of someone saying they would pay their money by
taking it from the company a male teacher was now sitting across from Maria in the nurs office the teacher mentioned that kaaz had not shared his secrets with him either and that was what he observed the teacher thought that Ka might have come to Maria for counseling if he had run away from home Maria turned her face away apologizing and saying that she truly regretted not being able to help the male teacher lowered his gaze further and said that Maria need not worry as it was his responsibility as kaz's Home Room teacher from the beginning
the teacher also thought that kaz's departure was due to his own failure to give ex attention to that particular student firmly and with a raised voice Maria said that everything would be all right and that Co would return the male teacher was surprised by Maria's reaction he assumed that Maria must be worried as well however Maria said that it Suki the male teacher must be feeling an even greater sense of worry Maria covered her face and then said that speaking of worry reminded her of one of atsuki students she wanted to inform atsuki that there
was something about shikimi a student in his class apparently the girl had some troubling rumors that Maria had heard about shikimi bit her lower lip tightly she approached kinukawa who was smoking a cigarette while aiki was eating his meal filled with anger shikimi kicked the wall next to kinukawa shikimi said that they were the culprits they were the ones who complained about the woman's side job kinukawa was confused by what shikimi was saying shikimi even accused them of pretending to be ignorant she began recounting the incident where she was called by atsuki her home room
teacher atsuki had said that someone saw shikimi walking with a man at love Street Hotel shikimi was shocked and immediately asked atsuki who spread such a lie atsuki tried to calm her saying that if the information was incorrect then it was no big deal shikimi was emotion asked atsuki about the culprit she suspected that kinukawa and aiki were the culprits because they were the only ones who knew about it kinoa blew cigarette smoke towards shikimi making her annoyed shikimi kicked the wall again kukawa was stunned and couldn't get angry ajiki commented that if someone had
just seen her it could have been anyone shikimi defended herself by saying that she had stayed at a hotel far away kinukawa held shim's foot which kept kicking the wall beside him he gripped her ankle tightly with a cold but sharp gaze kinukawa told shikimi to stop suspecting her own friends shikimi froze and then avoided kinukawa asking him not to touch her shaim walked away from them threatening that if they revealed what had happened to her they would no longer be her friends Maria who was hiding behind the wall could hear this clearly she smiled
faintly because everything was going well she had investigated the fact that shikin was playing the Badger game to get pocket money if she pressured and confronted shikimi with this fact through her home room teacher Sha's personality would make her suspect her friends as well thus creating a rift among them however this was a very SLE and cowardly way to do things and this was what shikimi had done to cure taka in the past seconde Class C shikimi karumi at that time shikimi was screaming that she couldn't find her gym clothes kinukawa sitting right behind her
desk said that her gym clothes might have been stolen shim's emotions flared as she asked who had dared to steal her clothes and it was truly disgusting kiraka was opening his bag and was surprised to find shim's gym clothes inside it he wondered how the clothes ended up there kirataka hugged his bag tightly as shikimi began to approach his desk shikimi glanced at kiraka kirataka then buried his head to avoid being noticed while looking down shikimi asked him why you have it [ __ ] kiraka froze at that moment kinoa restrained his hands while the
man continued to defend himself saying that he knew nothing and that the clothes were already in his bag when he saw them kinukawa then replied that the gym cloes couldn't move by themselves shim's face lit up with joy but in contrast to her words that it was was a bad and disgusting thing nagger was not to be outdone he shouted loudly that he really didn't know anything about it and that he didn't do it shikimi looked at him with a cold expression then she told her classmates to raise their hands if they believed nagger didn't
do it unfortunately none of her classmates raised their hands and seemed indifferent to what was happening shikimi approached nager and whispered that it seemed no one believed him nagger also wrote in his diary that surely someone knew he wasn't the culprit but no one believed him so there was no point in trying to help him that was the day he felt alone in this Maria was reading right in front of nar's display wearing only her underwear she said that kiraka didn't need to worry she looked at the cabinet beside her and opened it there were
many threads hanging photos and papers pinned with nails she said she understood the loneliness ner had experienced she also mentioned that someone in the photos she was looking it couldn't escape once they were caught and Maria would make him follow the same path and the photo she saw was of shimi
