Hello.

What's up, Isuke?

Sorry, Mama.

Are you busy right now?

No.

I've finished stuff up just a moment ago.

So what's up?

You're taking quite some time to return.

You've always been one to finish things quickly.

The job's easy; a piece of cake.

It's just that there's a bug.

A bug?

It's annoying!

I'm sure I have some poison, but it's either hidden or lost…

Well, it doesn't really matter.

What is it?

Uh, I just thought it was strange

that you're nervous.

It's not like I'm nervous.

Seems like the saying "if you love your children, send them out into the world" holds true.

But Papa was getting lonely lately.

Come back quickly.

Is it only Papa?

Mama is also lonely, of course.

I see.

Okay.

Wait.

I'll bring home lots of souvenirs.

Say Mama, would you prefer the Alps or the Caribbean as the location of a second house for when you get old?

The Black Class is providing us with lots of joy again, huh?

We have Nio-san to thank for this.

It's a pity there's only three people left.

Just so you know, I'm

Ah, right.

Sorry.

That's mean!

Hanabusa-san, considering the contents of her wish,

is probably not going to make a move before the very last moment,

so the next one will either be Inukai-san or Banba-san.

Inukai-san's wish is money.

And Banba-san's?

Nada!

Oh my.

That looks promising.

Howout Ichinose Haru and Azuma Tokaku?

Isn't it all right?

An Excellent Queen Bee candidate.

As of now.

As of… now?

Yes.

It wouldn't be strange if something happened tomorrow.

That's the Black Class for you, after all.

Nostalgic.

Reminds me of stuff from my time in the Black Class.

How many days did you take, Board Chairwoman?

Six days.

It looks like a storm is approaching.

It feels kind of lonely.

It became awfully quiet everywhere.

It feels like we're the only ones left here.

Thanks to that, you can take a bath anytime.

What's the problem?

Geez, Tokaku-san!

It's my time to appear!

What are ya so conscious of?

Ya can see my face, right?

It's strange to see ya here.

Ya don't come here so often, do ya?

What a drag.

It's such a nice bath.

Y-Yup.

Mahi— Shin'ya-chan, do you always come here?

Damn right.

Mahiru loves huge ones.

Come to think of it, ya can never spot Nio and Sumireko here.

Maybe they have them too.

Scars.

That Mahiru just can't shut up lately.

Even though I told her to stop it.

Stop what?

She locked herself up the entire time.

She's got no clue how to live a normal student life.

My view's that it is school, even if it's hard.

I wanted to get the feel of it a little.

Well, it'll be time soon.

See ya tomorrow.

Smell ya later!

Is she up next?

It's fate. s the sentence in seconds?}

But…

There's only three of them left.

Once they're overcome.

Isn't it your dream to graduate from the Black Class alive?

What about you?

What are you going to do once it all ends?

I'm going to bed now.

Don't look like that.

I'm by your side, and I only want to make you smile.

The longed-for… holy relic…

I got it… I already got it…

But it's still no good…

I want it quickly…

Quickly, quickly…

I'm… already…

I know.

You've been holding back all this time, huh?

It's fine.

I'll do it.

Like always, ok?

Shin'ya-san?

I brought tea.

Would you like some too, Shin'ya-san?

I'll have some.

Oh my, how unexpected.

You gave me the cold shoulder every time I invited you.

I'm in the mood for tea today.

It seems like the typhoon is approaching.

There may be a great storm on the morrow in the afternoon.

How nice!

It's most suitable for a party.

So today is the night before that, right?

Ya can join me if ya want.

The more the merrier.

I…

Yeah.

There'd be no point for ya, then.

But I'm not planning on yielding either.

Oh, sorry!

I'm so bad with delicate stuff.

I don't mind it.

Things break eventually.

A call this late?

Seems your home really does have much cohesion.

I guess — I'm loved.

I envy your parents.

You don't find a daughter with such devotion to her parents around every corner.

You'll have a villa built for them when they're old, right?

By the way, it seems a typhoon is coming.

I'm quite fond of them.

Don't you get excitedlike that is coming?

I'll take shelter and spectate.

You know what?

Hm?

Don't think everything will go as you planned.

Uh, creatures living in the wild maintain various kinds of relationships with each other, uniting in communities.

Simply said, they're territories.

For example, sweetfish.

In order to secure their food, they each occupy certain places in the river,

and if individuals intrude them, they inflict an attack.

Live decoy fishing makes use of this behavior.

What about you?

What are you going to do once it all ends?

Haru will graduate and return to her bright and sunny world.

ere will I go back to?

That's it for today.

There's a typhoon coming, so don't wander on your way back.

Go straight to the dorms.

Ha-ru!

Don't you wanna go for some ice cream on the way back?

There's 30% off on the typhoon's day!

But the teacher told us to go back quickly…

Honor student, eh?

Times like these are when you should play real hard!

It's time for that:

A test of courage.

Huh?!

It'll be fun!

You'll be wearing a raincoat in the storm, with a flashlight in your hand.

I know a nice place.

A former graveyard that has a shady history and is filled up now.

Try it on your own.

Tokaku-san!

Uh, do you need to act that formal, Tokaku-san?

This storm may be the tears of the guys you killed created by their resentment.

Are you part of an occult?

You can't trifle the occult.

It all actually exists without anyone knowing about it.

Vengeful ghosts, curses and the like.

Huh?!

Sorry, Nio.

I'll go for some ice cream next time.

Tokaku-san!

Boring!

Man… What's with those curses?

Doesn't she realize what kind of situation we're in?
