Dear Saihara~

Letter Three

Time keeps going forward, look where we can turn backwards.

I would be lying if I said I wasn't stumped for a bit. Ouma turned out to be pretty good at riddles, he is a liar though so maybe I shouldn't be surprised.

I'm really curious as to what kind of secret he will tell me in his next letter, or if it's some kind of prank he is pulling. It wasn't out of character for him.

I thought of the riddle hard. Wait a second...

Every year our school district provides us with free yearbooks. Ms Yukizome has one for us for every year in the classroom...maybe Ouma left his letter in one of them?

Shouldn't someone have saw him put it there...I haven't seen Ouma in maybe two months...I looked at those yearbooks about a week ago.

Maybe my deduction is just wrong. Still I guess better safe than sorry.

"Oh Saihara you're here late did you need help with the homework?" Ms Yukizome asked and I shook my head.

"No...I just needed to pick something up from here" I told her. Technically not a lie. Ms Yukizome stared at me or what I thought was me till she saw the previous two letters clutched tightly in my hand.

"Oh, come on over you won't find it with the other yearbooks" she told me as she headed to the back room and pulled out a box.

"You're in on this?" I asked and she nodded, "well, I wouldn't say in. It was left on my desk one morning with clear instructions from the devil itself Ouma" she told me.

"Do...do you know where he is?" I asked my voice choking up, "yes, I do. I am his teacher" she said not really making eye contact as she grabbed books from the box checking them.

"Can you tell me?" I asked and she laughed, "don't you think he would've told me not to if he bothered to make all this just for you?" She asked.

I sighed, "I just want to see him" I admitted and Ms Yukizome gave me a sad smile.

"Even if he didn't tell me not too I still wouldn't have...it's Ouma's secret to tell Saihara, hear it as he intended" she advised me as she put the books back in the box and handed it over to me.

"Well you can read them in here for an hour or so ok?" She told me, "after that you have to go home it's getting late and I know you didn't do your homework" she teased.

I nodded and sat down in my desk, where it all started and saw Letter Three waiting. Just like letter two the drawings were less prominent. Still it was colored all over with a chess board design.

Dear Saihara~

Oh so Ms Yukizome didn't blab my secrets to the world! See Saihara I told you DICE had ten thousand members all loyal to their supreme leader!

Already huh? I couldn't help smile thinking about the imaginary organization he always claimed to have.

But you're here for the juicy and dirty stuff aren't you? Wanna find some skeletons in my closet eh? Fine.

Inside that box you'll find all my yearbooks up till now. Along with some other things that I kept.

The student body gave me a lot of presents over the years Saihara chan! I'm popular!
