Dinkuri tells a faulty member and the police is called, they rule it is as an unfortunate accident after failing to stop an allergic reaction in time. They order no further investigation and all the students are send home. My plan was successful, My Senpai will no longer be disrespected. 

Happy with the events of today, I head to meet up with Osana to walk home with her as usual. I continue feeling strangely happy until I see something truly AWFUL. Budo Masuta is looking dreamily at my Senpai.  I could of stabbed him through the heart right there and then, but I couldn't.. too many witnesses and the fact Budo (now my rival) is the leader of the martial arts club. His skill at physical fighting is second only to Raibaru, previously mentioned best friend of Osana. So any fatal methods of elimination are out of the question.

As I continue to ponder my plan and hatred of my rival, I feel a slightly forceful nudge and I turn to see Osana, nudging my arm in frustration. "Senpai, you dummy! Stop daydreaming! I don't want to be late home because of you!" 

"Sorry.. Osana.." I mutter almost automatically. She huffs and practically drags me out of the school grounds. 

The next few hours feel like a blur as my mind is transfixed on my rival. Before I know it, I'm walking upstairs to my bedroom. I get ready for bed almost as if I was a robot and slump down on my mattress. I hastily grab a notepad and pen and write down all I know about my dear Senpai Ayano~ and my rival. I can barely think, writing faster than my mind can comprehend thought. Because of this, the end result is more of a childish scribble than a fully thought-out note but it doesn't matter, I'm the only one meant to read it anyway. Just as I put my precious notepad and pen away, leaning back to dream about my Senpai, I hear a knock on my bedroom door.

"Taro? Dear?" It's my Mom. She opens the door and I turn onto my side pretending to be asleep. It's not like I don't like talking to my Mom  but at times like these, where my mind is elsewhere I'd prefer for her to leave me be. Unfortunately, Mom isn't fooled and sits beside me on my bed. "Sweetheart.. Is something bothering you? You've never been so quiet. I know that the death of that boy was sudden and unexpected. Are you scared at all?" Usually, when Mom asks me these questions I am more than happy to lie and answer with the typical response she'd expect but with this particular question it's more difficult. Because I'm not scared that he died, I'm glad he died. 

But nevertheless I bite my tongue, "No... just a little shocked" Mom looks at me, still worried about my "unusual" quietness. 

"Is anything else bothering you? Other than the incident today? Because I have been meaning to tell you and your sister something." Whatever Mom means by that, I am not interested in the slightest. All I'm interested in is my Senpai and rival~ Hanako on the other hand, would be more interested. But unfortunately, as the eldest child I'm always the first to be asked about things. 

Wanting Mom to leave I pretend to be intrigued, "What? What have you been meaning to tell us?" Mom pauses, clearly regretting bringing this mysterious subject up. 

"Never-mind, Taro.. We'll talk about it later, as a family" The phrase "as a family" probably means it's something serious, impacting all of us. But again, regardless of how cruel this may seem, I still don't care. Mom softly smiles leaving my room, "Have a nice rest, dear.. try not to oversleep again" I softly smile back, glad to be left alone. 

Most nights I just sit and daydream until I fall asleep, usually oversleeping per my habit. This night however I have important things to think about. Specifically  a non-fatal way to eliminate my  rival, Budo. The way I see it, there are 3 options: Matchmaking, expulsion or ruining his reputation. Immediately I decipher ruining his reputation would be too difficult, no-one cares for a "loner's" opinion. Matchmaking seems the best option, after all many people at Academi see Raibaru and Budo as the "ideal couple" however I know for a fact Raibaru doesn't care for Budo. She much prefers the company of Osana and not just in a platonic sense. So that leaves only one option, expulsion which in theory should be an easy task. Eliminating my rival, reluctantly without any bloodshed.
