chapter 10 - the fake world (pt. 2)

"If you want to change the world to how it was before, the method is simple. Yugi Amane and Mitsuba Sousuke. You need to kill those two boys."

Shijima's voice continues to ring through their ears.

Do they really need to kill Yugi Amane and Mitsuba Sousuke... Or is there another way out?

"...That's it... Yeah... I can't kill those two... And we can't return to the old world... That's it..."

"Senpai..." Kou wants to comfort his senpai. "It'll be fine! We don't even know if what she's saying is the truth."

It's not clear whether he has said that to reassure himself or Yashiro Nene. Maybe both.

"Even so, there has to be another way, and I'll find it!" The young exorcist stands up and reaches out his hand to the girl. "I promise!"

"I will too-" 

"What are you guys talking about?"

"UAAH!"

"EEEK!"

"AHH!" Amane joins in the shouts.

"W-what is it? It looks like you've seen a ghost..."

"Amane-kun..." Nene stares at the boy sorrowfully.

"Hm?"

'Of course I can't do it...

How could I kill Amane-kun?

We have to find another way!'

Soon enough, Mitsuba comes running in with a cardboard box full of telescopes. "Senpai~! The supplies to bring to the roof- Ah..."

"Mitsuba!", Kou shouts.

Mitsuba quickly turns around to face Amane, ignoring him.

"Senpai, are these right?"

"Ah, sure! You've done a good job. I'll go soon, too."

"Ok~! Well then, bye~!" He happily waltzes off as if trying to piss off Kou on purpose.

"HEY- YOU- MITSUBA! WAIT RIGHT THERE!" Kou screams while chasing Mitsuba down the field.

"Uh- Kou-kun?"

...

"He's gone..."

"Um... Amane-kun, what are you carrying?" Yashiro asks. 

"This? Isn't it obvious?! It's an astronomy telescope!" Amane's eyes light up with passion as he shows off the giant telescope. "We're doing an astronomy observation!"

"Eh..."

"There's going to be a meteor shower tonight! Everyone is going to watch."

"Meteor shower...?"

"Yeah!" He gives her the happiest, geekiest grin anyone could manage.

"It's the Perseids Meteor shower! Today is a new moon, so there isn't much light, so we'll be able to see it well... Of course winter would be preferable, but the night skies in summer are also not bad either."

- (Y/N) POV -

A bright light flashes past my eyes.

"A shooting star..." I whisper.

"A shooting star!"

"AMANE! Did you see it?!" Tsukasa and I both scream at the same time.
