I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Tears streamed down silently, and Kimiko didn't utter a sound.

This isn't right!

Naoe looked at the silent Kimiko and felt that things were going off track.

Shouldn't she be crying and making a scene at a time like this, and then run in and scold Bubble without even asking what happened?

No matter what, this shouldn't be the reaction.

Naoe had a bad feeling. Looking at Kimiko's profile, she felt a little scared for some reason.

Forget about the plan, Naoe tugged at Kimiko's hand: "Hey, are you alright? Say something!"

Kimiko stood up blankly. She looked through the crack in the door at the two people laughing and talking, and a sad smile appeared on her face.

Goodbye, my friend. I had a lot of fun spending time with you.

May you live a carefree and joyful life forever.

Kimiko left dejectedly, leaving Naoe standing there helplessly.

"Why is there no movement?" Yu Zi checked the time, somewhat displeased.

She had high hopes for Naoe's performance, but she never expected him to be unable to handle even such a small matter.

"Ikuko?"

Seeing that her roommate had suddenly stopped talking, Bubble looked at her with some confusion.

"Oh, where were we? Let's continue."

................................................................

Naoe lay in bed, feeling uneasy.

"Kimiko?"

There was no reply; Kimiko had been silent ever since she returned to her dormitory.

'This guy!' Naoe wasn't someone to be trifled with. She rolled out of bed and walked up to Kimiko: 'Are you stupid?'

"..."

Naoe flew into a rage and grabbed her hair, yelling, "Didn't you hear me talking to you?!"

"..."

"Damn it."

Naoe pushed her to the ground: "Say something! Say something!"

His unease grew stronger, and Naoe gritted his teeth: "You won't talk? I'll beat you until you do."

She straddled Kimiko and punched her face repeatedly.

"say!"

"Say one word and I'll stop!"

"Say something."

"Please, I'm begging you, just say something."

No matter how she was treated, Kimiko remained motionless, like a doll.

Finally, Naoe got tired of fighting.

She was breathing heavily, her eyes filled with fear.

"Whatever, do as you please, hmph."

She went back to bed indignantly, wanting to avoid seeing it altogether.

"Living with you is such bad luck."

"sorry."

"Hmm?" Naoe immediately perked up his ears.

Aside from a vague apology, Kimiko didn't say anything else.

'Damn it, if anyone's sorry, it's me who's sorry to you.'

After pulling the blanket over his head, Naoe decided to talk to Ikuko the next day.

After all, Kimiko's current appearance is very strange.

.................................................

That night, Kimiko committed suicide.

Chapter 57, Section 057: Officer, it's her!

Kimiko's body was not discovered until the morning by a passing employee, which completely shattered the apparent tranquility of Seisho Elementary School.

Due to Nakamura's lax management, the school reacted slowly and failed to isolate the body in a timely manner.

Unfortunately, Kimiko's tragic fall was witnessed by many children.

Among them were Ikuko and Naoe.

Both of them were deathly pale. No one wanted to see Kimiko die, including the two people directly responsible.

"How could he just die like that?" Sakakibara Ikuko's words were filled with disbelief.

No way, that can't be right. Why would you jump off a building? You're such a fragile person.

Even someone as lawless as Yuko knew the seriousness of the situation; someone had died!

"Didn't you go too far?" she asked Naoe in a low voice.

"I, I didn't, it wasn't me," Naoe couldn't even utter a complete sentence. Of all the people, she was probably the one who suffered the most.

"..."

Yu Zi glanced at her thoughtfully, and her heart gradually calmed down.

This matter is not entirely unrelated to me, but it's not that relevant either.

After all, I didn't do anything from beginning to end!

What? You're saying that I instructed Naoe, which led to the tragedy?

Evidence is essential; everything must be supported by evidence.

I'm innocent too.

"Naoe!" she suddenly shouted Naoe's name: "Was it you?!"

The whispering students around them were all drawn to Yuko's attention.

"Me? What?" Naoe hadn't even had time to react when Yuko gave her no time to process what she was saying and continued on her own.

"It must be you! I know you bully our class monitor every day in the dorm!"

"No, no," Naoe protested fearfully, "I didn't bully you."

"nonsense!"

Sakakibara Ikuko shouted angrily, "You didn't bully her? Where did Kimiko get those injuries! Heh heh, jumping off the dormitory building doesn't explain her bruises."

Everyone immediately erupted in panic. The braver ones examined Kimiko's body closely and shouted, "There are wounds!"

"Yes, it really exists."

"Naoe?"

Is that you?

"So pitiful."

Faced with the accusations, Akimoto Naoe retreated repeatedly, unable to even offer a defense.

Because she did hurt Kimiko yesterday.

"Can't speak? Poor Kimiko, she ran into someone like you."

Yuko spoke words of sympathy, but her face was smug.

What? Isn't this just a ready-made scapegoat? No, Akimoto Naoe is the sinner to begin with, she should take full responsibility!

"No, it was you!" At this moment, Naoe pointed at Sakakibara Ikuko: "It was all your doing, you ordered me to do it."

"Oh? You still want to argue even now!"

Yuko had completely calmed down. Seizing on the loophole in Naoe's words, she said calmly, "You just said you instructed him, right? So, you admit that you are involved in this matter?"

Naoe was completely panicked when Yuko struck him in a vital spot.

"It's all your fault! It's all because of your damned plan! You murderer, Kimiko was killed because of you!"

"Plan? What plan?"

Yuko glanced at Naoe with disdain in her eyes: "Even if I did have a plan, I wouldn't be asking you for it."

"Everyone knows perfectly well what our relationship is like."

"It's unlikely that Ikuko will go after Naoe."

One of the students in their class spoke up, but he didn't mean to favor Yuko.

But just recently, Naoe gathered a group of people to cause trouble for Ikuko... It's impossible for Ikuko to ask Naoe for help with any plans she has now.

"I know that the two of them have a very bad relationship."

"That, is it really Naoe?"

"That's outrageous!"

"murderer"

"It's you!"
