Jiyo Anami's POV

A joint memorial service for Furihara and Danuja was announced to be held at the end of the week. I, of course, didn't feel right in attending, but would go anyway.

I stood at my locker for a bit, waiting until I was alone. I pulled a folded piece of paper out of my locker and looked over it.

The list read as follows:

1. Jisou Furihara
2. Umemijito Akiara
3. Jun'ichi Jaresanen
4. Rio Miyashiun
5. Isanami Mao
6. Asinata Buko

I had no idea why these six were targets, but I would do anything for my mother. She left me this list before she left for America. Although she was currently traveling in America, she was the only immediate family I had, and she always knew what was best for me.

Unknown: Ooo, what's that you're holding? Better put it away and get to class before you're late.
Jiyo: Even though it's not your business, it's just a note from my mom.
Unknown: You're lying. No need to be so secretive if its just a note.
Jiyo: Maybe it's a family affair.
Unknown: The family that you don't have?

What does he know about my damn family?

Unknown: C'mon, Anami. You're an only child, your mother is on entirely different continent, and your father has been missing since you were three.
Jiyo: Whatever. I'm not showing you the note.
Unknown: That's fine, I already know what it says.

"Wh-what?? How...?" I muttered to myself.

Unknown: I have my ways.

I turned my phone off and put it into my bag. A frustrated huff escaped me as I hurried to class. He was starting to know too much. If I knew where his stupid perch was, I would've killed him after Furihara and Danuja. Sure, he was helping me, but I could deal with this on my own.

"Excuse me, do you have a minute?"

I looked up at the sound of the voice.

"Hi! My name is Kanase Minato, I'm a part of the newspaper club

"Hi! My name is Kanase Minato, I'm a part of the newspaper club. Technically, the president since Furihara has passed."

I bowed my head.

"That was really a tragedy."

Minato nodded. "Which is why I'd like to ask if you knew anything? About Furihara's murder or Danuja's?"

You've reached the end of published parts.
