COTE: Reaction

Chapter 13: interlude 3 + Chabs-sensei's stuff

A/N

Sorry for this really late chapter. I was just super lazy lmao. 

Class C had gathered in a booked karaoke room to discuss stuff.

"Everyone, I will tell you all everything that Ayanokoji-kun has done behind the scenes that I know of. So if anything pops up about it, please do not ask any questions about it in case any more information leaks out. I don't know how that might happen, but who knows," Horikita announced.

There were nods of agreement.

Then, Horikita started explaining.

~Timeskip~

Walking back to my cabin after the meeting, I sighed.

After Horikita had been done explaining, no one was particularly surprised. After all, my past had been shown for all to see. They just nodded in awe and understanding. Then, some people stayed back in the karaoke room to hang out and sing, while others left.

I sighed once again.

Previously, I could have walked anywhere without anybody thinking too much about it. Now, however, I could feel stares everywhere. The 3rd years who had previously been staring at me due to Nagumo's instructions, were now staring at me out of their own curiousity and acknowledgement of my presence. 1st years who had not been involved in the sub-exam were now glancing at me from time to time. 2nd years who had not even known my name now stared at me with no shame.

The invisibility I had until now was gone. Any semblance of peace I had was disrupted - by Bob.

I reached my cabin and took a quick shower. I was pretty tired already, so I just headed out to buy a quick snack for dinner. 

Walking towards the nearest convenience store, I noticed a red-haired devil heading towards me at top speed. 

"Senpai~!" 

I sighed.

Amasawa stopped right in front  of me and stared up at me, a smile forming on her face. 

"Senpai, how are you doing with Karui-"

"Just get straight to the point," I cut her off. 

She must have registered how tired of life I was right now, because her smile disappeared and was replaced by a rare serious expression. 

"Things aren't looking good, are they? I don't know how Bob got all this information, but... It's dangerous. For you, for me, for everybody here."

I hummed in agreement. I didn't particularly care for anyone except myself, but I agreed that the situation was getting worse. Of course it was. Bob was still giving out information about my life freely, and everyone was absorbing the information like a sponge. There was a high chance that the White Room might be leaked to the outside world, given the high number of people present. 

And when it gets leaked, who knows what might happen?

"The only solutions to this problem is to either get rid of Bob before more info gets leaked, or... Get rid of everyone else." Her expression was still serious. 

"Hm. And what's the point in telling me this?"

"Help me. Help us get rid of Bob. Or, alternatively, we could get rid of all the students and staff, but that would be far too troublesome. Getting rid of Bob wouldn't help take away their memories, but... It would prevent any other info from getting out. This is the most we can do."

Getting rid of Bob, huh... 

I mulled this idea over, and the other one, for a few moments, before saying, "Well, do what you want."
