Volume 1 Epilogue

Epilogue

By the time the interrogation was over, it was already dawn.

The sun, almost risen above the horizon, became so bright that it irritated my eyes. It should probably be alright if I skip school today.

Right now, we are standing outside of the police station. All the parents that quickly called the police are still talking with the authorities inside. Hence, I have to wait.

No matter what, I still wanted to take a public transport and go home. People like us that wanted to breathe some fresh air have to come outside and sit down while waiting.

"I'm really sorry, Aramiya,"

"Hey, there's no need to think too much,"

I'm still feeling the pain throughout my entire body, but Ayame continued to console me. Moreover, once we have arrived at the police station, Ayame tied her hair back into a pair of twintails. Actually, a ponytail doesn't look that bad at all, right? Yup.

"I'm really sorry... Aramiya... and also Ayame-san too,"

Then Hatsushiba was released as well. She was at first thought to have been acting alongside Songou, but Ayama and I gave our objections to that claim. As a result, she received the right to move out freely with us.

Even Songou doesn't know what came over him, but it seemed like he also refused the claim that Hatsushiba was on his side.

Thanks to that, It became much easier for me to help out Hatsushiba..

"Even if Yuuka did something unforgivable..."

But, it seems that she still couldn't accept it.

She probably doesn't think of herself as pure and innocent..

"Yuuka was truly tolerating Cotton most of the time...! But, I couldn't believe the fact that Naosumi would be using sleeping pills, or be spreading such nasty rumors...I was only looking away from Cotton, and didn't think for even a bit of wanting to help her.... And, I still dragged Aramiya to face this kind of situation as well...!"

It was mostly true that Hatsushiba had been deceived into being his assistant. She was forced to spread the rumors that Songou made to make them look worse. Because her father's job was threatened, Hatsushiba had to follow the orders. The longer time had passed by, the more difficult it became to solve the problem. Also, the older rumors that are still going around were basically making new rumors appear. It seemed like Songou was additionally spreading other new rumors as well.

And once he was in the process of entering high school, Songou applied to the same school that Ayame was going to attend. On the other hand, Hatsushiba also had to follow the both of them.

However, Songou's application was rejected and turned into a problem for him. So, he had to use the method of ordering Hatsushiba to keep an eye on Ayame and stop anyone from approaching her. But, when it seemed that Ayame and I were starting to get into a relationship, Hatsushiba started trying to separate me from Ayame while reporting the progress of my relationship with Ayame to Songou as a spy...

Once Songou heard about everything, he became so hot-tempered that this incident finally occurred.

It seems that Songou, who just got arrested, still has many older criminal cases. Therefore, he definitely deserves to be punished now.

If Songou's father had been one of the evil people, it would have been difficult; however, it appears like he's actually a very good person.

The claims that "Whatever Hatsushiba's father does, he'll get that," or "He has supporters within the business circle, committing only this much of a crime is a piece of cake," seemed to be Songou totally making up stories on his own.
