Information about Takatsuki was all over the Internet. According to Takatsuki’s own website, he has inherited his father’s political background and is now a member of the prefectural assembly.
He is now a prefectural assembly member, and he is planning to run for a national election next.
When I read Takatsuki’s homepage, I was really angry. Takatsuki is putting the most effort in the field of education. According to them, education for children is an investment in their future. For that reason, it is essential to create safe schools.
He also wrote that the suicide of a junior whom he loved and cared for in high school was the starting point that awakened his motivation to do something to the field of education.
I am sure that this junior was me. I could not help but feel annoyed at the scum who went to the trouble of blabbing in front of me about sex with Yui, and then used it as a political appeal after having triggered my suicide.
Takatsuki had a wife. She was a former announcer, and when I looked her up, I found that she was an incredibly beautiful woman.
And they were blessed with two daughters. After all, Yui was just one of the women in Takatsuki’s past.
Judging from what I could find out, Takatsuki seems to be leading a happy life, ahead of all my former acquaintances, with a picture of her on her homepage, and she still had her high school days with her ridiculous and hateful smile.
I didn’t like anything about Takatsuki. I want to destroy his life. That’s what I thought from the bottom of my heart. But I was just a high school student.
“What are you looking at?”
Sitting on the bed in my room, I looked at Takatsuki’s face on the display of my phone and Rin looked at me as if she was peeking into my face.
Rin, now a high school student, has become even more beautiful.
Although she seems to get many confessions from boys, Rin’s aversion to men is still alive and well. Even so, she is probably old enough to have at least one boyfriend.
“Do you know him?”
“I don’t know him. He’s just a prefectural assemblyman. I just happened to open his website.”
Rin remained silent for a while, and then she said, “I don’t like him.”
‘I don’t like him?’
I felt uncomfortable with the way she said it, but I thought it was crazy for a high school girl to have a liking for an old councilor.
I didn’t mind so much and searched for Yui Shiraishi, my former childhood friend, whom I wanted to know the most.
In contrast to Takatsuki, I couldn’t find any information on Yui Shiraishi. Perhaps this is because women often change their surnames when they get married.
Yui is also over 30 years old. It is not surprising that she is married. She might even have a child.
In the process of researching, an article from sixteen years ago suddenly came to my attention.
It was an article about a high school student’s suicide that occurred at that time.
It was probably about me, but unless there were special circumstances, a high school student’s suicide would not be reported in an article.
I read the article with interest and found out that 16 years ago, a series of suicides had occurred at the high school I attended.
It said,
“The Board of Education has launched an investigation after a high school boy (15) and a high school girl (15) committed suicide one after the other.”
Sweat trickled down my back. I was sure the high school boy was me. I didn’t think a high school girl my age could be me, but there were no further clues on the Internet.
As I continued to search for information on my phone, Rin looked at the display as if peering into it again and said,
“Why are you so curious about what happened sixteen years ago, Riku-chan?” she said.\n
