Halloweenish Project Time Lapse

Chapter 21 - Marika's Arc : Truth behind that smile.

In the girl's bathroom. Kurumi who act marika goes outside when she saw Ishida waiting at her in the entrance of the bathroom. She ignored him then goes outside she suddenly bumped him and look at him.

"Sorry. Ishida-kun.. what are you doing here?" She asked.

"Ishida-kun? You never call me that before. I thought that you're scared at me?" Ishida looks at her madly.

"What's wrong with you? We're friends already."

"You're not Marika. Who the hell are you? Where is she?"

"I'm Marika. Marika Ayasaki."

"Liar. I noticed it. By your movement and by your voice. Answer me. Who are you? Where is Marika?" Ishida said.

Tetsu and Kisara noticed them.

"...."

"What's wrong? Hanasaka? Do you have a problem with Marika?" Tetsu asked.

"She's not Ma-"

"Ishida-kun scared me.. But i will forgive him by that. I'll go back in the club. Yukina-chan is waiting for me." She ran away from them.

Tetsu and Ishida looks at her.

"Do you feel strange about her?" Ishida asked.

"A bit. Why?"

"She's not Marika. She's different person. Her attitude, voice, movement, and the way she acts. It's different from the real Marika. She'll be scared if she saw me, if she goes on bathroom she will asked Rin to come with her, when calling our name it must be in our last name not on our first name and the last, she knows about the Scarlet Dream. I feel that after she came back on this school. Do you notice that Marika have a short hair? Look. Marika's hair suddenly get long all of the sudden."

"You're right, That's strange." Tetsu response.

"Papa, I will look for Karatsu. See ya!" Kisara goes outside of the building.

"I heard her talking to someone. Her voice changed. I heard that her name is Kurumi not Marika. I need to tell this to everyone"

"Wait, we should gather information about her. Kurumi.. sounds familiar. I only know Tachibana Kurumi." Tetsu thinks deeply about the real identity of the fake Marika.

"Maybe she's that girl who acts Marika. What shall we do?"

"We need to go on her house. A spy job. If my prediction is true. Maybe the real Marika was there" Tetsu said while thinking about that mission he gave on Ishida.

At Tachibana Residence (Mansion) Marika's hair grown a little bit. She's looking on her phone. She cannot contact her friends because the place has no signal.

"Low... Battery.. You're useless!!!" Marika throws her phone. She get shocked and get her phone. She saw the phone's screen cracked and didn't open. It makes her more depressed and stressed.

"My.. Phone.." Marika suddenly looks on the floor and thinks she can't go out on that room.

Meanwhile, at St. Lucario Academy. Karatsu noticed Kurumi (who acts Marika) eating in the cafeteria.

"Marika. You're not with Yukina this time. Is there something happen?"

"Ahh.. I just want to be alone, that's all." She laughs a bit then smiles at him.

"Ka-chan!!!" Kisara put her arms on Karatsu's shoulder.

"What's wrong, Kisara?" Karatsu asked.

"I want you to accompany me on buying my new phone."
