Chapter 29 - The Dark Dawn

'That afternoon I kept chatting with Alex and Shizu. I was still bothered by what I heard this morning, but those thoughts disappeared while chatting. I was just too absorbed.'

"He~y Kei, I know that you are kindhearted""Alex, say it. What do you want?""Oh~, it's just, you know, yesterday I was busy and...". Ok. He is officially making me lose my cool. To say it kindly, as this annoying friend of mine said. He definitely forgot his homework."A~ctually, I couldn't do my homework cough cough". He spoke too fast. Oooh. I get it. So now that Shizu-chan has arrived, you can't say it. Mmmh. "What's up with this weirdo?". Oh. Merciless as usual. "Nothing, right, Alex""Aah aah". Thank you, Shizu, you are letting me pay back a bit for ma~ny things. Truly my best friend. "Rii.ii.riiriing". W-wait. This isn't the usual bell. They did talk about another bell. But it was for emergencies, so what's happening now? There isn't fire, an earthquake, a tornado... Everything is just like usual. "Tchhhhs". I take back what I just said. There's a weirdo in black and red clothes running through the hallway. Wait, are those traps?! Why do I keep ending in abnormal places??! Not that I had any expectation whatsoever. "Woah. Kei, let's go. I'm curious". Noo. No no no no no. Alex, you nutcase. Don't go there~! And if it's so important for you to go there, at least don't drag me in! Eh?! Shizu is coming too?! Wh~y?!

'Alex dragged me around the building, with Shizu running at her best a little behind us (so little that I was surprised). The traps didn't activate for the students. How they made them is a mistery for me. At a certain point we noticed that the man had stopped, now inside a cell'

"Hey! You there! Who are you?" Alex, what in the world are you doing? Stop! I feel like one of the characters of a mistery film. But don't they often end up dieing? Noooo!

'Then I glared at him with all my might.'

"What's up? Are you feeling unwell?". Alex, seriously~?! Ok, I'll say it. "Alex, have you gone crazy?!". Ops. I wanted to ask why he did this, but instead I said that. "Why are you asking me that that way? You're not angry, but you are still raising your voice". Yes. I am angry. Why do you think I'm not? Humph. Ok, well, that man is trapped so we shouldn't be in danger, and I want to understand what's happening. Sigh. Fine. I'll stay.

'The man starred at me intently. Said "I got what you asked for. It seems that the rumors where true"'

Are we in a spies movie now? Cough cough. A smoke granade? He... he ran away. Hmm. What's that?

'On the wall appeared a projection of my big sister's face, looking like it was a video call.'

"Hi brother~. How are you? Sorry you had to see this. If you want to know who this guy is, I can tell you. He is from the criminal organisation 'Dark Dawn'. We don't know yet how he was able to infiltrate. Don't worry. It'll be over in a second!""Chiyo-nee, what's happening? That doesn't explain a thing. There's too much!""Sorry Kei~! I can't talk about these things on a video call. When we'll be in an appropriate place, I'll tell you everything!""Kishimoto-sama, it's ready""Ah, see you at home, brother~!". O~kay. I have a bad feeling. "Kei, why do you still see that snake? You should cut bridges with her!""She's my sister!""Exactly! She is bound to you only by blood ties, not by her will". Shizu, what are you saying? What happened to you?Ah. Come to think of it, she has been staring at sis almost this whole time with the face of a bulldog. It just twitched when that criminal organisation was named. I'm kind of worried. Oh, and how did sister know I was here?
