It's been months since Tomoe's death and the cold winter starts creeping in. Although I didn't have much progress on finding the murderer, I befriended someone who's been really reliable to ask for advice and stuff.
"So you're saying that I might be looking for something that doesn't exist?" I asked as I passed the football to him.
"Conceptually, yes. Scarcity on gathered information hinders one's viable options of action." He said as he plays with the football with his dribbling skills.
"Should I stop looking for it then?"
"Your vision is narrow. When did I say that you stop looking for it?" He said as he passes the ball to me but it was too fast that I got hit on my head.
"That's the 34th time that you hit me on the face!" I said as I picked up the ball and stood up.
"Oiii~! Oh? You've been hit again on the face! Here."

"It's the 29th time you've offered me baby milk! I don't need that!" I said.
"This is good for the bones! Calcium!" She said.
"That's not how calcium works! And please don't flash your sideboobs!" I said as I averted my gaze.
"It's the 94th time you've gaze at my girlfriend's boobs. Should I hit you harder next time?" He said then bites of the sandwich that his girlfriend made for him.

"So you're really aiming for my head huh!" I said then left.
Having discussions with him and his girlfriend like this sort of created a refreshing sanctuary for me that I'm truly grateful for. Mai-san had continued her showbiz career, Futaba seldomly visited me, Kaede slowly reverts to her former self with the help of Shoko-chan, and Pekora-san skyrocketing her popularity to the entertainment industry. It was somewhat a blissful life but nothing is permanent.

"Go get Koenji for me, will you?" I asked Alyssa.
"Okay! Don't start anything weird now." Alyssa said as she sprinted towards the school.
