Looking at the Hirakawa High delinquents kneeling in a row, pinching their ears in front of Beichuan Si, full of fear, Inuzuka Yukari couldn't hold it in any longer.

She turned her head back in horror, looking at Otomoto Ai next to her, and her voice started to stammer, "Ai, Sister Ai? Senior Beichuan is... is... the, the cold-faced Demon King of Tokyo?"

Now thinking back to Otomoto Ai's abnormal behavior from earlier, Inuzuka Yukari finally understood why Otomoto Ai had stopped her from continuing.

Wasn't this speaking ill of him right in front of the man himself?!

Scared!

Especially scared!

So terrifying!

Remembering the way Beichuan Si had knocked a group of people down with just two or three swings of his stick, Inuzuka Yukari's body started to shake subconsciously.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Shen Gu Mirai came over with a chuckle, comforting her, "Actually, Mr. Temple isn't the type of person you think, Yukari. He's actually very gentle with other people."

"Is... is that so?" Inuzuka Yukari asked with a trembling voice, and then she heard a wail.

It turned out that Beichuan Si was delivering additional blows to some of the particularly rebellious individuals.

The whooshing sound of the stick being swung made Inuzuka Yukari unable to hold back any longer. She revealed an expression almost ready to cry and looked at Shen Gu Mirai with trepidation:

"Sister Mirai... can you ask Senior Beichuan to go a bit easier when it's my turn to be hit?"

"..." Shen Gu Mirai.

Hiss...

She didn't know what to say.

She had wanted to say some good things about Beichuan Si… but now, the situation had become even more complicated.

"..." Watching Beichuan Si raising his stick for another blow, Inuzuka Yukari was about to cry.

She wouldn't be treated like this later, would she?

...

Beichuan Si stood there, idly playing with his stick.

In front of him, the delinquent students knelt quietly on the open ground, not daring to lift their heads.

As for their gang leader, Nakamashima...?

He turned out to be quite stubborn. Beichuan Si had beaten him three times before he was willing to kneel obediently on the ground, not daring to utter any words of opposition.

His bruised face and tear-streaked pitiful expression made the situation of the other delinquents, who were slightly better off, involuntarily shrink their necks even more.

This was the biggest gang leader of Hirakawa High.

But in front of the Kyubei North Demon King from Tokyo High School, he couldn't even jump to his feet...

On the other side, Beichuan Si didn't care about what these delinquents thought.

He just 'smack' released his stick, then turned his head to look at Nakazato Aya in front of him, full of fear.

This Nakazato Aya had a rather pleasing face, with a round face, quite delicate looking.

No wonder so many boys were involved with Nakazato Aya.

But no matter how good-looking this girl was, she had virtually nothing to do with Beichuan Si.

"Have you confirmed that it's Nakazato Aya herself?" Beichuan Si asked without looking back at Inuzuka Yukari.

"Ah... yes, it's her," Inuzuka Yukari hesitated for a moment, then nodded and spoke.

Upon Beichuan Si's inquiry, Nakazato Aya, who had been rigidly tensed up, turned her head around with a look of astonishment:

"Inu, Inuzuka Yukari?"

She never expected that the Kyubei North Demon King would be involved with her ex-boyfriend's sister.

Ah... I get it.

It must have been Inuzuka Yukari who called upon the Kyubei North Demon King.

It was because she didn't acknowledge her several times, so the other side thought of this method to take revenge on her!

You'll see what's coming to you later!

With that thought, a cold, malicious light flashed in Nakazato Aya's eyes.

Smack!!!

The shiny stick suddenly swung past her face, and the sharp sound of it made Nakazato Aya subconsciously sit down on the ground with a thud.

"Don't entertain any unnecessary thoughts. I'm still trying to reason with you... If I can avoid using force, I'd rather not."

Nakazato Aya's mouth fell open.

She wanted to say something.

But when she saw the baton in Beichuan Si's hand, she shrank back and didn't dare to think about retaliation anymore.

"I ask, you answer, can you do that?"

"I can... I can do that."

Beichuan Si's icy gaze kept Nakazato Ayane from daring to utter a single word of dissent.

"The first question, you should know about Inuzuka Yukari using the Disaster Box, right?"

"...Um..." Nakazato Ayane's expression blanked for a moment, but she quickly recovered under Beichuan Si's gaze. Not daring to conceal anything, she confessed, "...I... I know."

"Explain the details... After using the Disaster Box, did Inuzuka exhibit any unusual behavior... You must tell me everything."

"Tell... everything?"

Nakazato Ayane's scalp tingled.

The rift between her and Fukuda was certainly not something she felt comfortable discussing in such a setting.

And most importantly... she simply didn't want to recall what happened to Inuzuka before he died.

Whenever she remembered his strange behavior during those two days and the horrific manner of his death, Nakazato Ayane felt a wave of fear.

"Do you think your brother used the Disaster Box because of whom? You woman, got a new boyfriend immediately after your brother's death!"

Inuzuka Yukari could not accept Nakazato Ayane's expression.

If not for being held back by Shen Gu Mirai and Otomoto Ai, she would have charged at Nakazato Ayane and started a fight.

Ignoring Inuzuka Yukari, Nakazato Ayane hesitated, finally breaking down under Beichuan Si's intense pressure.

"...The reason was... Inuzuka saw Fukuda and me in an embrace... Without hesitation, Inuzuka rushed forward and tackled Fukuda, leading to a brawl... But Inuzuka, being a more reserved student, how could he possibly win against Fukuda?"

Naturally, the result was Inuzuka getting a beating from Fukuda and lying on the ground for a long time before he could get up.

"At first, I didn't care, thinking 'at worst, I'll just get another boyfriend.' I didn't think too much of it... but Inuzuka's look before he left... that look still makes my skin crawl."

It was a look filled with immense bitterness and disappointment.

Yes, just by glancing at Nakazato Ayane, Inuzuka had instilled fear that lingered with her.

"The next day, I went to class as usual, and then on the way I saw Inuzuka... He was pale, standing by the road muttering fragmented words, blankly staring at that mountain..."

"But if you listened, you'd realize he was uttering odd and peculiar syllables, and I had no idea what he was doing. He just stood there, so rigidly..."

Nakazato Ayane's eyes filled with terror: "Like a corpse."

Naturally, Inuzuka's bizarre and frightening demeanor scared Nakazato Ayane from approaching; she chose to take a different path to school.

"After I arrived at school, I heard about Fukuda's death."

Nakazato Ayane clutched her hair in fear: "It must have been Inuzuka who did something... he must have done something behind the scenes... Maybe he used that thing. I stayed at school, forcing myself not to think about it. But... Inuzuka left early that day. The next day, news of his death reached us."

Following that, as Inuzuka's girlfriend, Nakazato Ayane was naturally approached by the police for investigation and inquiry.

As a high school student, Nakazato Ayane had never encountered such a situation; she had nightmares for several days straight, living in fear while revealing everything to the police.

After that, she immediately found a new boyfriend in Nakamashima from Hirakawa Private High School, hoping for his protection.

"I should have never been Inuzuka's girlfriend!"

Nakazato Ayane covered her face and burst into tears:

"Why do I have to suffer like this? Why did I go to a haunted house in the summer... Why did I enter that cabin?"

Her voice was intermittent, sobbing uncontrollably.

But Beichuan Si had no intention of consoling Nakazato Ayane.

Shen Gu Mirai and Otomoto Ai also watched with cold indifference.

Ending up in this situation was entirely a consequence of Nakazato Ayane's own making.

Would things have turned out this way if she had been true to her relationship?

Even if she had changed her heart, a peaceful break-up with Inuzuka wouldn't have led to such a predicament.

Maintaining a relationship with Inuzuka while being too intimate with Fukuda...

Wasn't that simply toying with someone's feelings?

However...

A summer courage test...?

That cabin?

Beichuan Si keenly sensed something.

The context of the situation became gradually clearer through Nakazato Ayane's responses.
