[39] Truth Revealed

S H I Z U T A K I

Hidou and Natsumi were pacing around the room for like an hour now. We didn't know what went wrong since Nari and Miyuna were still out there along with Katsu and Shin. The time had already passed by and they weren't coming back yet.

Nobody knew what actually happened but Shin returned in the room, panting, weak and full of scars on his face and arms. Katsu, on the other hand, was trying to help him walk before slowly letting him sit down on the floor.

Miyuna and Nari then came afterwards, the files on their hands. Their hair was a bit messy and they both had some injuries on the arms. They looked a bit stressed and tired as they both sat next to each other - trying to catch a breath from all the running or avoiding ghosts.

"What happened out there? Shin, are you alright?" Hidou asked as Shin looked down, suddenly falling unconscious. Hidou then sighed, knowing that he couldn't get any information from him. Looking at the two, he asked them.

"What happened, Nari? Can you tell me who Shin fought along the way?" he asked as Nari spoke up, answering his question.

"He challenged a girl with white hair and violet eyes. She didn't want to kill us though. She just tried to scare the hell out of us, chasing us outside when he had beaten Shin. Fortunately, Katsu was there. Thanks to him, we were able to get the files and got a little scratch from that girl. It's not really much. It's not bleeding anyway," she said as I gulped, knowing that it was only Jun and I left.

Natsumi then glanced around the room before she stopped her gaze towards me. I gulped as she mentioned me to come over. I then stood up, dusting my uniform before walking towards them. I swore that I saw Hidou's eyes glinted in anger before turning back to normal, giving me a serious look.

"Shizu, truth or dare?" he asked as I looked down to the ground, trying to decide what the best choice is. Knowing that dare is much more necessary in this situation, I quickly answered.

"Dare." Hidou then mentioned me over to the table. There lies the map that Miyuna and Nari used on their turn as he pointed over to the stairs and at the right side of a hallway.

"Get the headmaster's files, entries and the video camera on his desk inside his office. When you're outside, run to your right, down the stairs, and another right. You'll clearly see it since there is a sign on top," he explained before he continued.

"It could at least help us to know if he's the actual killer," Hidou again exclaimed as I gulped. I just can't believe that it was already my turn and I'm about to do this. I hope nothing bad ever happens after I go out of this room.

The headmaster's office wasn't really a nice place going into since Matsuko guards the outside and there are dead people buried underneath on the inside. Well, that's what I heard from Yuuki and Shin. I wasn't sure about it though. All about coffins and dead bodies just makes me a bit tense.

"It could be on the drawer but we're not exactly sure if it's there. All we can assure is that it's on his office," he continued as I nod, seeing Haru going inside the room while dragging his metal hammer.

When he saw me staring at him, he quickly glared at me. "What are you looking at, huh?"

I shook my head before walking outside. Natsumi then closed the door behind me as I looked at my left and right. I then saw a girl in a uniform walking right towards me. Her white hair flowed perfectly along her shoulders as a twisted grin was quickly plastered on her face - probably glad to see me alone. To her, I was an easy target. Scared, I didn't even hesitate to run towards my right - dashing down the stairs immediately.
