Chapter 6 - Let Me Help You

Kamiya Mirai rubbed her eyes and took a deep breath before fixing her eyes inward again.

The corpse in the muddy water mixed with blood was still lying in the same place. It did not disappear after Kamiya Mirai rubbed her eyes.

Kamiya Mirai withdrew her sight and took a deep breath.

She did not scream like a little girl. On the contrary, she felt that she should be as quiet as possible at this time so as to not draw attention from the murderer that might still be nearby.

She sorted out her thoughts first.

First of all, this was a very covert place to hide a corpse. Both the murderer and she knew this place.

From the current situation, that murderer probably did not know that this place had been exposed.

But who on earth was the murderer…?

Kamiya Mirai was not completely certain that it was Kitagawa Tera.

After all, there was no decisive evidence. She could only say that everything seemed to point toward Kitagawa Tera…

Kamiya Mirai thought about it for quite some time, and her beautiful eyes shined with interest.

Kitagawa Tera who came to his place alone, a female corpse that was fridged here… All of this gave Kamiya Mirai the excitement that she had not felt for a long time. Wasn't this the part in detective novels and games where she would investigate this incident alone?

The handsome protagonist with 'There is always only one truth!' catchphrase…

Right, all by herself… This was a great opportunity to stand out…

So Kamiya Mirai clapped her hands and nodded. Un, let's call the police.

Although it was a pity, she could only bring the detective game to this stage. Kamiya Mirai was not arrogant enough to feel that a little girl could solve this incident without help.

Speaking of which, where did Kitagawa Tera go? Him heading here alone doesn't look like a coincidence. Kamiya Mirai glanced around cautiously at her surroundings.

She would run away with her long, slender, and fair legs as soon as there was the slightest sign. She would not give Kitagawa Tera any chance.

As soon as there was the slightest sign…

Bang

Kamiya Mirai's moving head hit someone. She looked up, right into the indifferent eyes of Kitagawa Tera.

"He… hehehehe…" Kamiya Mirai laughed subconsciously.

She was clearly confident about her tracking skills.

Silence…

The Kitagawa Tera in front of her was covered with blood, and he held a transparent blue garbage bag with things in it.

If Kamiya Mirai did not see wrongly, they were pieces of meat glued together with quicklime.

They were densely packed pieces of meat from the arms of women.

But unexpectedly, Kamiya Mirai showed great interest instead of panic or shock. She hugged her arms and asked, "I want to ask Kitagawa-san a question."

"Ask." Kitagawa Tera's voice sounded icy cold as he spat out the single word without so much as a twitch in his eyebrows.

This classmate is too indifferent.

Kamiya Mirai would take off her stockings and stuff it into the mouth of the next person who told her that Kitagawa Tera was a cowardly perverted underwear thief.

You call him a perverted underwear thief?

He's more likely a cold-blooded murderer?!

Kamiya Mirai kept her smile under Kitagawa Tera's watchful gaze. "Um… Will you let me live if I take off my bra and panties and give them to you?"

Kitagawa Tera did not express any opinions about her bold remarks but continued to size up Kamiya Mirai.

She had a clean black hair cascading down her head and a brown plaid scarf covering half of her face. However, her big bright eyes revealed a rare beauty. Her white coat wrapped tightly around her body, and her navy blue short skirt swayed to reveal her thick black stockings beneath. She had a pair of hazel colored long boots on her slender, straight legs. She was beautifully dressed.

However, Kitagawa Tera did not care about this. He threw the arms to the side and clapped his hands. "You know me?"

"? Kitagawa-san, your question is a little intriguing." Kamiya Mirai's lips curled.

She did not think she could win against Kitagawa Tera. It seemed like he did not have any interest in her body either.

The situation was already so bad, so she just let herself go and said casually, "Kitagawa-san, your question should be… Is there anyone in Kyokuboku High School that doesn't know you? You are the infamous underwear thief after all."

"…" Kitagawa Tera. Underwear thief? The original did such a thing?

The silent Kitagawa Tera and the smiling Kamiya Mirai looked at each other.

He still had not figured out how Kitagawa Tera was at school. The girl in front of him might be his classmate.

Following the principle that he who talks much errs much, Kitagawa Tera did not say another word.

However, Kitagawa Tera did not expect her to suddenly say something.

"I'm very curious," Kamiya Mirai said. "I observed you from a distance previously, Kitagawa-san. You're behaving differently from when you were at school. The Kitagawa-san at school and the Kitagawa-san in front of me feel like two completely different people. If I have to say what…" Kamiya Mirai pointed at her eyes. "… the difference is in your eyes."

"The eyes are the windows to a person's soul. I could only see eyes that blamed everyone around you and resenting yourself previously, but the current Kitagawa-san…" Kamiya Mirai blinked.

"The current Kitagawa-san's eyes are really special. If you didn't have Kitagawa-san's face, I would have thought that you were someone else. Or perhaps you look like Kitagawa Tera from the outside, but inside… Are you really Kitagawa-san?" Kamiya Mirai blinked and placed a finger by her pink lips, looking very curious.

Confident and peaceful. He did not fight, grab, snatch, nor bestow.

He gave her a feeling like he was too mature for his age… The previous Kitagawa Tera certainly did not possess such an aura.

"…" Kitagawa Tera. I was exposed just like that?

"I'm regretting it now." Kitagawa Tera turned around and took out his phone.

"What are you regretting?" Kamiya Mirai's keen sense told her that he did not want to harm her, so her speech gradually became uninhibited.

"I regret not agreeing to your offer of giving me your underwear so that I could have stuffed your mouth with it," Kitagawa Tera casually replied to this 'Hundred Thousand Whys' girl. He found a name on his phone's address book and made a call.

"Eh?" Kamiya Mirai's curled up, her eyes frivolous. She replied seductively, "It's all right if you want me to take them off now~"

Kitagawa Tera raised his head and said seriously, "Then strip."

"…" Kamiya Mirai.

Eh…

Eh???

Kamiya Mirai's mouth twitched when she saw how Kitagawa Tera planned to strip her if she did not…

It was only then that she felt she should not have played with fire.
