My deskmate is actually my yandere reader.

Hirasawa Masato scratched his head, walked up, and then asked, "Class monitor, why didn't Izumi come today?"

"I have a cold, so I'm taking the day off," Shiraishi Chiren said casually.

"Another cold?" Hirasawa Shinbu's face showed surprise. "He caught a cold last Friday and it's been four days. Could he have died at home?"

Upon hearing this, Shiraishi Chiren's expression noticeably darkened.

She said in a stern voice, "Please watch your words, Hirasawa-kun. Kurose-kun is your friend, right? Is it really appropriate for you to say that?"

"Ah... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it was my fault."

Hirasawa Mabu was taken aback for a moment, then apologized repeatedly, his attitude appearing very sincere.

'I never expected the class monitor to be such a serious and old-fashioned person...'

He was just saying it casually; he and Izumi Kurose usually joke around like this in a very carefree manner.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

After glancing at Hirasawa Shinbu, Shiraishi Chiren walked straight past him.

She had to rush back to cook for Kurose Izumi, so she didn't have time to chat.

"Squad leader, can you tell me Quan's home address?"

"I don't know, you should ask Mr. Komi about this."

Without turning back, Shiraishi Chiren left a message and disappeared around the corner from the classroom door.

"That's really strange..."

Hirasawa Masato watched her departing figure and scratched his head sheepishly.

He then left the classroom as well.

Since Shiraishi Chiren wouldn't say, he would go and ask Komi Megumi.

You can't say that if a friend is worried about another friend, they can't even go and visit them, right?

-

After leaving school and changing her clothes along the way, Shiraishi Chiren returned to Kurose Izumi's house.

Kurose Izumi was sitting in her bedroom reading a book and didn't notice her arrival.

Kurose Izumi is that kind of person.

When engrossed in reading or writing, one becomes completely absorbed and oblivious to the surroundings.

Seeing this, Shiraishi Chiren looked around the bedroom and, finding no signs of escape, quietly slipped out.

The bedroom security camera has been removed, so she can no longer monitor the situation there.

Lunch was, as always, a very lavish meal.

After all, this was the last meal prepared in the name of [Kushiki Touko].

"I feel a little bad that I always trouble you to cook for me..."

Kurose Izumi ate the food heartily, muttering something unpleasant under his breath.

He would never know that this was lunch before their parting.

"It's alright. After all, I insisted that you create something for me, so it's my duty."

Shiraishi Chiren shook her head slightly, and as she spoke, she refilled the empty soup bowl with thick, white miso soup.

"I'm going out this afternoon, and the fridge is empty. Is there anything you'd like to eat today?"

"How about some tempura? It's been a long time since I've had any."

"Okay, I understand..."

After finishing his meal, Kurose Izumi rested for a while while reading before starting to write.

Shiraishi Chiren returned to school, continued her classes, and waited for the end of the school term.

As the bell rang to signal the end of the last class, Komi Megumi put away her textbook and glanced at Shiraishi Chire:

"Squad leader, come to the office."

Upon hearing this, Shiraishi Chiren's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.

Everything is proceeding according to plan.

She anticipated that Hirasawa Masato would inquire about Kurose Izumi, and deliberately sent him to find his teacher.

The purpose—

On the desk piled high with textbooks, Komi Megumi turned her head to look at Shiraishi Chire and asked:

"Shiraishi-kun, are you free later?"

"Well, there's nothing to do."

Shiraishi Chiren nodded, already anticipating what Komi Megumi was about to say.

Sure enough, she said, "Could you please visit Kurose-kun? And bring him a copy of his homework and study materials from the past few days?"

This afternoon, Hirasawa Masato came to see her, asking for Kurose Izumi's address, saying he wanted to visit him.

Actually, she really wanted to agree, but Hirasawa Shinbu had club activities.

Moreover, in terms of his studies...

Therefore, Komi Megumi politely declined Hirasawa Shinbu's offer, telling him to focus on his club activities and that she would find someone else, if that person didn't want to ask him for help again.

And that person, first and foremost, was the class monitor—Shiraishi Chiren.

All of this was planned.

Perhaps there is an element of luck involved, but sometimes luck is also a symbol of strength.

"Hmm, if that's the case, then it's fine." Shiraishi Chiren nodded, her attitude neither warm nor cold.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you. His address and phone number are..."

After Komi Megumi gave her some instructions, Shiraishi Chiren left the office and returned to the classroom to pick up her schoolbag.

But when she got to the shoe cabinet, she saw Hirasawa Masato, who had changed into his gym clothes and was standing at the entrance of the teaching building.

'This is really troublesome...'

Shiraishi Chiren's eyes darkened slightly, a hint of displeasure in her heart.

After changing her shoes at the shoe cabinet, she walked past Hirasawa Masato, pretending she knew nothing.

"Class monitor."

Unfortunately, just as she walked past, Hirasawa Shinbu called out to her from behind.

Shiraishi Chiren stopped in her tracks, turned her head, and looked at him with a cold gaze.

"what happened?"

"Did Mr. Komi ask you to go visit the spring?"

"Well, it's me."

Seeing that Shiraishi Chiren had admitted it, Hirasawa Shinbu laughed, scratched his head, and said:

"Quan is a very good friend of mine. If he's free, please ask him to call me. I've been trying to call him but he hasn't answered."

Of course, you can't get through to Izumi Kurose by phone.

Because... his phone was in Shiraishi Chiren's bag.

"Well, I will."

Shiraishi Chiren nodded, turned around, and then took a step forward.

This time, Hirasawa Masatake didn't call her back, but simply watched her walk away.

'That Izumi kid seems to like people like Shiraishi. Could their relationship have improved after just one visit?'

As Shiraishi Chiren's figure disappeared from sight, this thought suddenly came to his mind again.

He knew a little about his friend's XP.

After all, we're friends, so we sometimes talk about these kinds of topics.

19. Rescue

This was the first time that Shiraishi Chiren had come to the Kurose Izumi residence without any disguise.

Her ultimate goal in imprisoning Izumi Kurose was to achieve this moment!

【Kuchiki Touko】is ultimately a yandere, cleaver-wielding landmine girl, not presentable in public.

In Kurose Izumi's memory, she was gentle, considerate, and intellectual, but also crazy, obsessive, and full of contradictions.

Perhaps if she reveals everything, they can reconcile, but that's just a possibility.

If they knew that [Kushiki Touko] was [Shiraishi Chire], they might have changed their minds or turned against her.

Therefore, she must rescue him under the identity of [Shiraishi Chiren].

This is the safest approach.

He knocked on the door pretending to knock, and then rang the doorbell.

As expected, there was no response.

Izumi Kurose is probably in her bedroom right now, which is covered with soundproofing material.

The door was locked, so I definitely couldn't open it with the key.

There is only one way—

Forced entry!

As for excuses, there are many.

Firstly, he used the excuse that he hadn't been to school for four days, had rang the doorbell for a long time, made many phone calls, and knocked on the door for a long time without receiving a response, and was therefore too worried.
