Chapter 4 - Whatever will happen, will happen

These seven tools were given to me by my parents, who were worried about my weak body due to my illness, and I was half-forced to wear them.

But I didn’t really want to wear them because it reminded me of the fact that my strict training and the skills I had acquired were completely wasted because of my illness.

However, right now, I am glad that I have these seven tools on me.

Because I know that these tools rarely activate by themselves out of the blue, and when they do, it’s only when they catch a very dangerous and life-threatening situation.

Smartphone, what the hell is going on?!

[A device believed to be an explosive was detected inside the main building]

A bomb in this place?!

If it’s activated and hasn’t detonated yet, it’s probably timed.

Where did you detect the reaction?

[Displaying on the eye lens.]

Oh my god…..The placement of the bombs look as if they were set up to bring this building down.

This is completely unprofessional!

Even if I know about it, there’s nothing I can do about it now.

My mother isn’t home right now, so I’ll have to contact the police through the smartphone for now.

[Certainly.]

At the moment, the eye lens is showing me this floor’s plan, the floor where the explosive detection occurred, and it is also showing me the human biological reaction.

By the way, if someone else looks into my eyes, they won’t be able to see any of these displays.

Well, I don’t know how much time there’s left, so every second counts.

The bomb won’t necessarily explode when the countdown ends, and if the culprit detonates the bomb, that’s it.

Is this the work of some terrorist organization?

“Unable to analyse it due to the lack of information.”

Right….

The closest bomb is near the vending machine on the lower floor?

Isn’t that right near the restroom where Otoha and the others were headed?!

I have to get there fast!

I tugged on my classmate’s hem as hard as I could.

“Whoa?! What’s wrong, Sakuya?”

“…..”

This is bad….I can’t talk.

I’m still too scared to talk to anyone but Otoha.

What should I do….

“Hmm? What’s wrong?”

“No, Sakuya is tugging on my hem. What do you think it is?”

“Hmm, ah! Sakuya-chan wants to play with the playground equipment that is there!”

“That’s not it! You just want to play! Don’t try to play with me!”

“I think that Sakuya is still hungry.”

“After she ate all that food!? And after she almost ate all of Otoha’s portion too!?”

“Hmm, I wonder…”

Hmm.

Hmmm.

I want to tell them that we all need to get out of here right away.

Umm, a word…..a word…..

“….get out.”

I managed to whisper out a voice.

“Eeeeeeh?! H, hey! Sakuya’s spoke! Sakuya just spoke!”

“R, really?! How is that possible?! No one has ever heard Sakuya’s voice before except for Otonoha?!”

“Oh no, tomorrow there’s going to be a big rainstorm, a big tornado, a big earthquake and Japan will fall, or a big cold wave will appear and the earth will be destroyed!”

No, excuse me!

The mere fact that I spoke made a parade of catastrophes.

“So, what did Sakuya say?”

“To leave!”

“”What?””

“….This is that, isn’t it?”

“Aah, if you eat that much….”

“It would be awful if a maiden leaks in such a place, don’t you think so!? Okay, I’ll give you a piggyback ride! You guys support me from behind! Sakuya, come on, get on!” 1

Woah…. I feel like I’m being grandly misunderstood, but oh well.

I can move faster if she gives me a piggyback.

I mean, aren’t you too fast?!

As expected of someone on the track team.

She’s also supporting me from behind, so I feel very stable.

However, three JKs coming in your direction with great speed, carrying one JK with blood in their hands, seemed to be quite powerful….. 2

I’m sorry for the inconvenience, everyone.

Thank you very much!

We’re already a few floors down.

It’s behind that vending machine.

Smartphone, can you scan with the eye lens at this distance?

[Scan complete. Time remaining: 24 minutes, 16 seconds. Displayed in the upper left corner of the lens.]

Less than 24 minutes left….There’s still time to escape.

Ah, this sign.

”Whoa?!”

“Woah?! I was so surprised. Why are you carrying Sakuya on your back? Huh? Are you touching Sakuya’s ass? Nee, you’re touching it, right?”

“W, wait, wait! Calm down, Otoha! You’re really scaring me with that face! Sakuya’s in trouble! She’s about to leak!” 3

"

"

“Hm? Sakuya, why are you so panicked?”

“No, she’s going to leak….”

“Nope. That’s not true. It’s more like…”

As if to interrupt Otoha’s words, an urgent announcement was made in the store.

“I’d like to inform our customers. A suspicious object has been found in our store. Please follow the attendant’s introductions and evacuate the store immediately. I repeat…”

“Wh, what did you say?!”

“This is bad, we have to get out of here!”

“Sakuya, is this really happening?

“….yes”

The police must have contacted the store, but if they broadcasted something like this, the whole store would panic.

As you can imagine, a lot of panicked people were rushing, and Otoha and I were pushed to the edge, stuck, and separated from the rest of our classmates.

“I, is everyone here?”

“I’m here!”

“I can’t do it anymore~!”

“Got it. There are four of us now.”

“Otoha, Sakuya, where are you?!”

“I’m safe and so is Sakuya! You guys go ahead and run!”

“All right! You guys get out of here too!”

Otoha is protecting herself from the rough waves of people who keep coming in one after another.

I just clung to Otoha’s body tightly, unable to do anything.

Hope you had a good time reading the chapter! If you would like to support me in getting out chapters faster, you could maybe buy me a kofi!

What a misunderstanding… JK = high school girl No.
