PHASE 39 - SCHRODINGER’S DOG CAN LEARN A LOT OF TRICKS

It’s been five minutes, and we haven’t even uttered a word. I saw Miss Awane (The Idol Club leader who dragged me here) getting something from the backstage. Tiara seemed to notice it too. Something’s off about that woman.

Tiara and my eyes widened in shock when the Idol Club leader revealed a baseball bat coated with rusty barbed wire. She glared at us with the smile of the devil! And there, she’s planning to go to our direction! She’s getting impatient!

No good! I have to start a conversation with her immediately!

“U...Ummm… The weather looks nice…” I looked up in the sky and forced a smile. I can’t believe I’m initiating a conversation with something stupid. It’s usually Tiara’s role to say that line.

“Y-Y-Yes, that’s right.” She said. I saw her sweat crawl on the side of her face as she looked at me with a sorry smile.

When Awane already saw us moving our lips, she hid the bat on her backpack. What a weird Idol we have on our school...

Seeing that war freak withdraw made both Tiara and I sigh. When we both realized that we did the same thing, both of us chuckled as if our mind is connected.

If I have to get away from this situation, we should continue talking like friends. Don’t get me wrong, I still hate her for interrupting my vengeance against her twin. I don’t mind for being called as plastic. I will just have to play nice until this stupid thing is over. All I need is that handcuff key.

“...I-I’m sorry… It’s all my fault.” Tiara was staring at the floor with her lifeless swollen eyes. “I’m an idiot for letting my twin brother get away... I should have at least restrained him.”

“Don’t push yourself too hard. I know that you didn’t have much time to think.”

“... But you didn’t get your revenge because of me… I feel bad for your friends too, but… please, Rikkun...you need to understand why I want my brother to keep on living… I still think that I can turn him back...”

I kept my mouth shut. There’s no way I could understand her. Not right now. Not when the memory of horrible deaths is still burned in my head. And that <Presage> of her, that she will become the Brightmore Witch and cut my head off without killing me and torture me until the end of time… I can’t fully trust her.

Tiara made a lifeless chuckle. “Ahahaha… I guess it’s impossible, huh…”

She stood up and reached my handcuffs. She gently removed the shackles off me with her bare hands and superior finger strength. Just before I could stand up and flee from this scene, Tiara blocked my path, and then groveled on the floor, facing at me. She looks like she’s worshipping me as a Buddha statue!

“...Accept my body as indemnity for my brother’s sins!” She cried with all her might.

The whole Idol Club focused their eyes on us for a moment, so I returned an embarrassed smile! Seriously, what is this witch trying to achieve!?

“W-What the heck do you mean, Tiara?...” I whispered. “Chill down a bit, will you…”

She continued to talk with her forehead sticking to the ground.

“I-I know you’ll never forgive me unless I pay for my brother’s sins!... So I’ll offer my body to you! I’ll become your slave! I’ll become your personal secretary! I’ll become your dog! I’ll become your toy! I will do everything you say!”

T-That… That might be a good idea. Maybe I can get her to do dirty things with me, or even better, ask her to kill her own brother. No, I guess it’s too much. But I’ll play with her for a while.
