It's already been a month since the case of the Deadly Sins was resolved, in short, It's already November. After the night when Master left, they didn't get any information on him after that.
It seems he really concealed his identity and has gone on a journey to find his lost Soul Seals. He's partially responsible for the incident of Deadly Sins, which is why he was motivated to collect his Soul Seals like Kazuya.
With that, Kazuya is now alone at the house. If a Soul Seal appears, he can't hear his Master's advice anymore. Instead, he needs to make a solution only by himself.
Kazuya prepared for a school like any other day and of course, he has gone to school. He closed the door, locked it then walked on his way to the school.
"It's only been one month since then but I wonder how much time it takes for us to resolve all of our problems?"
Kazuya already stayed here for 8 months, yet he only got 5 Soul Seals, he discovered another one but It's in the possession of someone else.
Thinking that he can't answer his own question, Kazuya continued to walk on his way. After a while of walking, Kazuya finally reached the school.
As usual, he changed from his outdoor shoes to his indoor one and continued to walk towards his own classroom.
"Good morning, Kazuya! Looking good?"
This is the everyday greeting his friend, Yuu, always use.
"Good morning too, Yuu, I'm good."
Kazuya replied to him usually. He took a seat and looked at the blackboard in front of him. With that, the class started and Kazuya's life came back to normal.
+++++
Life is so unfair, I didn't do anything wrong so why does it have to me?! Why? Why? Why? Why? Why!? I didn't do anything wrong!! Why won't someone believe me!? Please save me!
+++++
"Kazuya, want some hamburger?"
"Well, a bit won't hurt."
As usual, Yuu, Hajime, and Kazuya walked home together. This is their usual routine since coming to high school. Usually, they still have Hideko and Haruka, but they have something to do with their clubs, that's why they were left off for now.
While they're about to take the left side of the road to buy some hamburgers, a mysterious feeling came to Kazuya Satoru. This is a different feeling than the usual feeling of sensing a Soul Seal.
It's only a matter of seconds until he realized what feeling this is. This weird feeling that he feels right now, this is the feeling of... A Soul Seal coming back to him!
He didn't even check the Soul Seal and just ran towards the direction of where the Soul Seal came from. There are only two ways for a Soul Seal to be extracted:
One, releasing them from their depression and Second, killing them. Kazuya doesn't do the 2nd option, because he swore that he won't kill anyone in this world.
But if a Soul Seal came back to him itself, that only means... either the host solved his own problem or the host itself... died.
Kazuya rushed towards the direction where the Soul Seal came from. Seeing Kazuya running away like that, Hajime and Yuu followed suit. They took a little turn of the right and... finally found a middle school. The sign says it was Urinori Middle School.
Kazuya entered the school without any ID even though he's not from there. When Yuu and Hajime finally caught up to him... they didn't enter the school anymore because they know It's a violation.
After walking for a little bit, Kazuya saw the source where the Soul Seal came from. It was surrounded by students, police or ambulance... and even teachers. Kazuya approached it and since he's tall he was able to see it... without forcing himself in the crowd.
What Kazuya saw just now... is the dead body of a girl. There's blood gushing out and her head has a crack on it, indicating that she fell from a high place, heads first.
"Is this suicide?"
A new case arises... but can Kazuya do something in this kind of case?
END OF CHAPTER 24
So yeah, I decided to just continue the story because this is actually my best story in terms of plot and character development. I'm continuing this but the update is not the same as before because I'm planning a different story at the same time. Maybe I'll update this 2 to 3 times a day?
