*Yua Ichika's POV*
//July 8, 2040//Sunday//
"Ichika, give up. You are the culprit."
Now, I am caught by these three people who are here with me. What I did to Megumin two weeks ago has come back to haunt me.
"WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST TELL YOU, SASAKI?! I'M NOT THE CULPRIT!! I'M NOT THE ONE WHO DID IT!!!"
I kept on denying it even though it is obvious that I am the one who did it. After all, this is a human's instinct.
Even if you get caught red-handed you will keep on insisting that you are not the one who did it hoping that the people around you will believe the things that you said.
"Ichika… Please stop thi-."
"I TOLD YOU SASAKI!!! I AM NOT THE ONE WHO DID IT!!!"
"Will you stop being in denial if I showed you another video that you are the culprit this whole time, Yua Ichika?"
Machida showed another video in front of us. A hidden camera inside the laboratory, and showed me getting a chemical inside while checking my surroundings, and left the room quickly earlier. Machida smirked at me leaving me here helpless without any reason
"Cyanide huh? The chemical that you have Ichika is more dangerous than the Arsenic that you got two weeks ago. Are you even aware of it?" Machida asked.
I am aware that Cyanide is a lethal poison that when ingested can kill someone instantly when I learned it two weeks ago from the library.
I have been caught, and there is no use denying the fact that I am the culprit.
"THE ONE YOU CAUGHT WAS NOT ME!!! IT WAS SOMEONE ELSE!!!"
Aaaah, stop being in denial, Yua Ichika. You are making a fool out of yourself. Why can't I just accept it? Am I that desperate for the money?
Am I this desperate to change my life?
"HAHAHAHAHA!!! LOOK AT THIS PIECE OF SHIT STILL DENYING EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE EVIDENCE TO PROVE THAT SHE IS THE CULPRIT!!!"
"Kei, stop it." Sasaki said.
My body won't stop trembling, and I am still holding this fruit juice that had cyanide poured into it.
If I drink this will my suffering stop? I have been caught anyway. Who knows what they are going to do with me. When everyone finds out that I am the culprit that poisoned Megumin, no one will dare approach me again, and I will be treated like shit just like in my past.
I think it is best to die in this situation that I am in.
"Are you doing this because of the reward that Ichi told us about?" Asahi asked.
"..."
I was left speechless in my place. I was exhausted from shouting nonsense at the three of them. I'm really stupid… I really am…
"Ichika. Sasaki and Machida told me that I was the one who helped Megumin cook our lunch two weeks before what happened to Megumin. That was you, am I right?"
"H-How did you-."
"It's a disguise. Asahi was clueless when we asked him if he helped Megumin with her cooking two weeks ago. It is obvious that someone impersonated him."
"Kei was right, Ichika. The only one who can impersonate someone else is you." Sasaki said.
"What are you talking about… How are you two so sure that I am the only one who can do it-."
"Ichika, you are one of the best Fashion Designers there is. Impersonating, and disguising someone is something you can do flawlessly."
Sasaki was right. It was stupid for me to think that my plan was perfect from the start.
If Sasaki and Machida found out that someone is disguising themself as Asahi, the only one they could figure out who it is was none other than me. After all, I'm a great fashion designer. My talent is the one that also gave me this misfortune.
This talent, the one that I loved, and drove me from making it this far, is also the one that ended me here right now.
"Ichika, do you want the reward because of your past? No, not your past, is it because of what you were dealing with before you came here at Saitei University?"
What Asahi asked me made me lose my composure. How did he know about my past? Did Sasaki, and Machida know what I am dealing with in the first place?
"DON'T BRING WHAT I AM DEALING WITH IN MY LIFE INTO THIS YOU PIECE OF SHIT!!!"
I kept on punching Asahi's chest with my fist, and he endured all of it until I lost the energy to hurt him. I'm tired… I just want to get out of this situation...
Just let me die…
