Twin Masterpiece (Shiba Tatsuya x COTE world)

Chapter 26: Time to settle the score

Ryuuen POV

Sakagami: "lecture is over. And this marks the start of your winter break. Enjoy yourself and don't do anything stupid. Goodbye."

With that, Sakagami left the classroom. I've been waiting for this moment. That old hag's lecture was boring as heck damn it.

Ryuuen: "Ishizaki, Albert, Ibuki, I'm going to confront X right now. Wanna come? kukuku"

Ishizaki&Albert: "of course Ryuuen san/Boss"

Ibuki: "fine. Its not like I have anything to do at all."

Ryuuen: "what about you Hiyori, Kaneda, Wanna come? kukuku"

Hiyori: "ahh, sorry Ryuuen kun. I just want to have some good sleep right now. Hehehe"

Kaneda: "same here."

Ryuuen: "kukuku, that's unfortunate. C'mon you three, get your asses moving right now."

With that, Ishizaki, Albert, And Ibuki followed me to the rooftop.

Time to settle the score.

Tatsuya POV

After majority of the class left, I begin speaking to Kiyotaka.

Tatsuya: "Karuizawa has been glancing at you for a while now."

Kiyo: "Today is the day."

Tatsuya: "Ryuuen huh. Do you want me to come with you?"

Kiyo: "No thanks. It would be an overkill."

Tatsuya: "you're really confident aren't you?"

Kiyo: "I just can't imagine anyone beside you that can defeat me."

Tatsuya: "not even Sakayanagi?"

Kiyo: "who knows?"

Tatsuya: "you're a confident one. But atleast you have the ability to back it up."

Kiyo: "how many minutes has been passed since Karuizawa left for the rooftop?"

Tatsuya: "I think its already 25 minutes since she left the class."

Kiyo: "I see Things already escalated huh."

Tatsuya: "what if she sells your name to Ryuuen?"

Kiyo: ".........."

Tatsuya: "that's not an outcome that even you can't predict huh?"

Kiyo: "If she sells out my name, then there is nothing I can do. I'll doubt you can even do something about it."

Tatsuya: "that's right.."

To be honest, if Karuizawa sells out Kiyotaka's name, it would be a disaster.

Kiyo: "Tatsuya."

Tatsuya: "what?"

Kiyo: "time to activate that thing."

Tatsuya: "of course. It's time."

Scene change, Rooftop

Kei POV

It chilled me down to my core.

The chill of the water dripping from my hair. They've dumped water on me four times now. Not only my uniform but even my underwear are soaking wet now. But it's not the fact that my body's trembling from the cold that terrifies me.

It's the cold that grips my heart.

A darkness deep and dark enough to make you resent the world reared its head.
