On the way towards the subway–

We were walking down a boardwalk with a hideously busy design when Kanon-cchi said, “When you see bright lights, you want to sneeze, right?”

“Yeah? What’s this all of a sudden?”

“Don’t worry about it, just, you do, right?! That’s not embarrassing or anything, is it?”

“Y-Yep. It’s a physiological phenomenon. No one’d really find it even a little embarrassing.”

“…Well then… wanting to go to the bathroom when you’re walking around the waterside…isn’t embarrassing either, right…?”

“It’s not really all that embarrassing?” I pointed out my agreement, but for some reason, Kanon-cchi stayed silent.

“…”

“It can’t be! You aren’t thinking about a way to get the hundred thousand yen back, are you?!”

“Not that…”

“Then what is it?! If you can’t give me an answer I can agree with, then you’re not gonna escape the Miser label!” I condemned her, nearly shouting, and Kanon-cchi’s cheeks flushed red.

“…I want to go to the bathroom! I mean, I can’t hold it in that much longer!”

“…Ah–”

Everything from the sneezing talk on had just been leading up to her asking for a bathroom break. Not sure why, but her being too embarrassed to ask to go to the bathroom was pretty cute.

Well, since that was the case, I went with her into a nearby residence. Kanon-cchi busted up the Monokuma inside the house with the hacking gun.

“Ah,” Kanon-cchi said in a small voice.

“Did you leak a little?”

“…Not that, I just ran out. Of bullets.”

“…”

Just like she refused to ask for a bathroom break until it was almost too late, it seems like Kanon-cchi wasn’t the type of girl to plan ahead.

“Well, you already defeated all the Monokuma in here, so there’s no problem. Hurry up and go do what you came here for.”

“Then, sorry, but hold this for me.” Kanon-cchi slid her bag off her shoulder and handed it over to me. I accepted it, watched Kanon-cchi go into the bathroom, and then, I was struck by a nice idea.

“…That’s right.”

Let’s take a look inside of her bag. As the daughter of the director of TAT TV, then just maybe! She might be hiding a wallet full of gold and silver in there! I’d temporarily borrow it, temporarily hand it over to abpawn shop, and then I wouldn’t have to take the chance of waiting on a reward I may or may not ever get, but I’d be able to pay off my 8 million yen debt right away!

“…I’m just borrowing it~ I’m juuuust borrowing it~” I muttered to myself in a sing-song tone, unzipping the bag.

There was a notebook, a wallet, and a cellphone inside. There wasn’t anything else but that in there.

“That ain’t like a high school girl…” I’d been imagining a disorganized jumble inside the bag, so it was kind of a let-down.

Well, whatever. Then let’s check inside the wallet.

“…Tch.”

I thought, in a worst case scenario, I’d at least scrape up 50 in there, but there wasn’t even that. There was just some petty change and some credit cards in Kanon-cchi’s wallet. I guess she wiped out all her cash in paying the hundred thousand yen divination fee to me. She’d blow almost all her money on hand to get a fortune from a guy she only just met? I know rich people have some leeway, but this was just her being a high school girl with poor planning again.

“…She’d be a dangerous type to have as a wife.”

I finished with the wallet, and opened the notebook without any real expectations.

“…Huh?” I let out a sound before I could stop myself.

‘Cuz I mean, what even WAS this…

I flipped through the page, goosebumps running down my back.

I flipped the page.

Wall of text.

Flip.

Wall.

Flip.

Wall wall wall.

Flip flip flip.

Wall wall wall wall.

Flip flip flip flip.

The Leon-oniichan hell continued across dozens of pages.

Wh-What is this…! Oi oi oi oi! This is way too creepyyyy! Hurry up and let me out of this hell.

With that as the only thought on my mind, I flipped through dozens of pages at once. The ink became less dense. Just as I was feeling relieved, I took another close look at the page.

“…Huh?” I let another noise slip. Since, what was written there was–

“Future Foundation? Yeah right, what kind of future is this supposed to be? I’ll fucking smash that group of hypocrites to pieces.”

Ain’t that a pretty disturbed outcry…
