Ritsujiro began his search based on the information he had obtained from the infirmary teacher.
However, he didn't find anything even after noon.
There was no news from Shinkou either.
He didn't meet his companion even once during the mission … was this guy searching for him? Did he really do something that he shouldn't have? Ritsujiro was rather concerned.
He decided to contact Shinkou and have lunch together to discuss the situation.
He took out his cell phone and tried calling Shinkou, but the call didn't connect.
What was going on?
He tried calling again a while later, but the call still didn't connect.
Ritsujiro furrowed his eyebrows after the same thing happened several times.
Something was wrong …
An ominous premonition welled up in his heart. He stood there in a daze for a few moments as something flashed in his eyes.
Then, he called again.
"Excuse me, Grand Mistress, may I ask … do you know where Sentani-san is?"
"Why are you asking this question?" the voice on the other end spoke calmly. "Weren't you two together?"
"We split up, and I haven't seen him since. I can't get through to him now …" Ritsujiro explained the situation.
"I don't know what happened to him, nor am I interested in knowing. Go find him yourself." The voice on the other end had a cold attitude.
Ritsujiro had an ominous premonition when he heard this.
"Grand Mistress, please help …"
"I'm very busy. I don't have the time."
The call ended there.
Ritsujiro slowly put down his cell phone with a complex expression.
"This is troublesome …" he muttered to himself.
It would be fine if Shinkou Shinkou was lazing around and having fun, but it was highly likely that he wasn't.
That was because even though Shinkou had a bad personality, he was indeed someone with a high achievement rating. In other words, he was a Spiritual Ability user who would properly carry out a mission. It was impossible for him to go missing during a mission.
Ritsujiro wanted to believe that the annoying guy was just having fun, or that his cell phone was broken. However, logic told him that it was more likely that …
Shinkou Shinkou had been taken care of!
After they split up, he had angered Grand Mistress by "having fun," which resulted in him being taken care of.
The evidence was Grand Mistress's attitude just now.
She didn't seem to care at all when she learned that Shinkou had gone missing. She didn't care what he was doing at all, nor did she worry about whether he would ignore her warnings and attack ordinary teachers and students. This proved that Grand Mistress actually knew that Shinkou didn't do this — he couldn't do it anymore!
What a terrible situation … Although it was only a speculation, Ritsujiro felt that this should be the truth.
What should I do?
Was he trying to look around the school while holding onto a sliver of hope that nothing had happened to Shinkou? Or should he report to his family as soon as possible?
After standing in a daze for a while, Ritsujiro chose the latter.
…
Summer Night received a phone call from the Wanhua Family's second young master, Aoran of the Wanhua Family.
Mentally prepared, she picked up the call.
"Summer Night, do you want to have lunch together?" A magnetic male voice sounded from the other side.
"Sorry, I've already eaten."
"I think so too. Then I'll enjoy this top-notch sushi meal that I've reserved half a year in advance all by myself. "His tone was full of pride." Let's start with the tuna sushi … "
"Enjoy your meal. Good afternoon." Summer Night decisively hung up the phone.
Then the bell rang again.
"Don't be so cold, Younger Sister." Aoran picked up the phone again.
"I'm not interested in listening to your thoughts on food, Aoran."
"Sharing the joy of tasting delicious food together is a blissful thing."
"You're the only one who's blissful. Forgive me for not having the time to accompany you. Good afternoon."
"Wait! Don't hang up again. "
"I'm not going to hang up. I'm going to turn off my cell phone."
"Don't be like that! I'll just stop talking. "
Aoran coughed.
"Let's get down to business … Summer Night, where did Shinkou Shinkou go?"
"I don't know."
"Don't pretend to be such an obvious idiot. You definitely know."
"I don't understand what you're saying. Why must I know where he is?" Summer Night responded calmly. "He's not my subordinate, and he obviously looks down on me. I don't have the time to care about someone like him."
Aoran fell silent for a moment.
"It would seem that you're truly angry …"
"Angry? How strange. I'm only confused right now. "
"Stop pretending. I understand your emotions, but you went too far by killing someone …" Aoran sighed.
"I don't understand what you're saying!" Summer Night's tone became even more serious.
"I killed someone? Who did I kill? Shinkou Shinkou? "
"Don't randomly accuse me, Aoran! Even if you're my older brother, there are some things that you can't say! "
His indifferent words contained deep emotions.
Meanwhile, the Wanhua Family's second young master felt a headache coming on.
He didn't expect that his younger sister would have such an intense reaction … he had truly miscalculated.
He had originally expected that Shinkou would at most receive a vicious beating as a punishment for his excessive lust for women, as well as a way for Summer Night to vent her emotions and push forward with what was to come.
This plan wasn't wrong. According to Summer Night's style, she wouldn't go too far even if she disliked Shinkou. However …
Just what did that bastard Shinkou do? Did he just happen to violate someone that Summer Night was familiar with? Or did he simply provoke her right in front of her?
Shinkou was quite capable, but his lust for sex was terrible. Aoran wanted to teach him a lesson, but she didn't expect that he would be killed just like that.
Summer Night denied that she did such a thing … well, that was to be expected. Aoran himself wouldn't easily admit to such a thing either.
He didn't know exactly when Shinkou was killed. Perhaps his corpse had already been taken care of by now.
He had two choices: to pursue the matter, or not to pursue the matter.
Logically speaking, he should pursue the matter. After all, Shinkou was a subordinate that had performed many meritorious deeds.
But, ignoring whether or not he could find any evidence, Summer Night's negative emotions had already accumulated to the point where she could kill someone. If he pursued the matter any further, then perhaps …
Aoran didn't want that to happen. He was certain that his older brother and father didn't want that to happen either.
"I'm your second brother, and I'm on your side, Younger Sister." He sighed after thinking it over. "But, Shinkou's disappearance is far too serious a matter. Even if you insist that you didn't do it, it's impossible to get away with it so easily. I think that you understand this as well."
Summer Night fell silent for a moment.
"I'm not trying to get away with anything," she stated lightly. "I didn't kill anyone at all."
Hmm?
Aoran blinked in surprise.
She didn't kill anyone … could it be that Shinkou was still alive?
Aoran's eyes lit up slightly when he thought of this.
It seemed that he had misunderstood … Summer Night was indeed still that Summer Night. She wouldn't go so far as to kill anyone.
But, she was probably close to the edge. If he didn't deal with this properly, Shinkou would still be killed.
The Wanhua Second Young Master came to a decision after some quick consideration.
"Since you've said so, perhaps it really doesn't have anything to do with you.
I'll have Rokuhou Ritsujiro look around the area again. Perhaps he'll be able to find that person.
If he's found, no matter what, I'll apologize to you. "
What he meant was: as long as he let Shinkou go, he wouldn't pursue the matter no matter how badly Shinkou was beaten up.
Something flashed in Summer Night's eyes.
"I'm incredibly displeased to have Nobuhiro Shinkou … and Rokuhou Ritsujiro enter the school.
In their eyes, this is a hunting ground, and the students are the prey.
Normal hunting grounds have restrictions. The hunters can't kill everyone, but they have no restrictions at all … "
