My deskmate is actually my yandere reader.

While he was thinking about these miscellaneous things, Shiraishi Chizuru, who had her back to him and was looking down at the school buildings, slowly spoke:

"It's nothing, I just want to tell you a secret that I can't tell anyone else."

"A secret that can't be told to anyone?"

Now, Hirasawa Shinbu was even more puzzled, unable to understand why Shiraishi Chiren had shared a secret with him.

He and Shiraishi Chiren are not familiar with each other. At most, they are acquaintances, but they can't even be called friends.

"Hmm, a secret that can't be told..."

Shiraishi Chiren nodded, then suddenly turned around, her gaze cold and indifferent as she looked at Hirasawa Shinbu, and uttered the secret word by word:

"I am actually Fuyuko Kuchiki."

107. Killed Hirasawa Masamichi

"...?!"

Upon hearing this, Hirasawa Shinbu was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed shock and disbelief.

Shiraishi Chiren said... that she was Kuchiki Touko?

Ignoring the still-shocked Hirasawa Shinbu, Shiraishi Chiren spoke to herself, "I imprisoned Izumi, and I also rescued Izumi. It was all my own doing."

“I threatened Izumi, and I also protected him; I imprisoned Izumi, and I also took care of him; I was hated by Izumi, and I was also loved by him.”

“All of this is me. Shiraishi Chiren is me, and Kuchiki Touko is also me.”

When she said these words, Shiraishi Chiren's tone and expression were very calm.

There was neither the unease of being honest nor the anxiety of whether the matter would be kept secret.

There was only tranquility.

Because her arrogance told her that she could win the gamble.

Even if she didn't win the bet, she was confident she could forcefully shut Hirasawa Masato up.

Meanwhile, the incredulous Hirasawa Masato is struggling to process and digest the truth that Shiraishi Chiren is actually Kuchiki Touko.

After a long while, he finally swallowed hard, his voice hoarse, and asked, "...Why did you do this?"

"The reason..."

Chiharu Shiraishi suddenly smiled knowingly: "Did you know? Izumi is the author of 'The Abyss of Youth'."

Instead of the expected shock, Hirasawa Masato asked in a low voice, "...What does this have to do with 'The Abyss of Youth'?"

"Izumi is going to write a tragic ending. The male protagonist, Ryunosuke, is going to abandon his sister and the other female protagonists to commit suicide, so that they will all forget him."

"So—what does this have to do with 'The Abyss of Youth'?!" Hirasawa Mabu's voice suddenly rose, tinged with anger.

Of course, this feeling is not about Kurose Izumi being the author of "The Abyss of Youth," but about Shiraishi Chirei toying with Kurose Izumi.

“Of course I have.” Shiraishi Chiren said calmly. “Don’t you also not want a bad ending? I don’t want one either, so after I found out that Izumi was going to write a bad ending, I imprisoned him and made him change the ending.”

"you--"

Upon hearing this, Hirasawa Shinbu became completely enraged.

Doesn't this mean that everything Shiraishi Chiren did was just so that Kurose Izumi could rewrite the ending?

It's a shame that Kurose Izumi liked Shiraishi Chire so much, foolishly believing in her and acting on her behalf, only to end up being deceived.

"Didn't you want to stab 'Teacher Eternity' in the back? Now that you know, do you still want to?"

Shiraishi Chiren ignored Hirasawa Masato's anger, her smile growing even wider.

Even when confessing her wrongdoings, she was so proud and composed, as if she had everything under control.

"Hmph." Hirasawa Shinbu snorted coldly, his face darkening. "Do you think I don't know that Izumi is the author?"

As a company under the Hirazawa Foundation, wouldn't it be easy for f-Bunko to find out an author's true identity?

Hirasawa Masato knew that Kurose Izumi was the author of "Boy's Abyss" as early as when the novel started to become tragic.

When I told Kurose Izumi before that I wanted to stab the author, it was just a joking, indirect suggestion.

He wouldn't risk a lifelong falling out with a best friend over a novel.

"Can you accept that the male protagonist committed suicide by drowning himself in the lake, feeling relieved, and that everyone has forgotten his ending?" Shiraishi Chiren asked with a smile.

"Although I don't like this ending, I will support Izumi's idea."

"That phrase sounds so familiar..."

Shiraishi Chiren recalled how she had also deceived Kurose Izumi in the same way to gain his favor and trust.

She knew that what she was doing was despicable, and that Kurose Izumi would be in despair once the truth was revealed.

But wouldn't everything be fine as long as the truth is hidden in the darkness?

Lies are gentle and beautiful.

The truth is cruel and unacceptable.

Shiraishi Chiren believed that this was a white lie she had made for Kurose Izumi's sake.

Because she wanted Izumi Kurose to be happy.

The prerequisite for happiness is interaction.

Would Izumi Kurose ever consider dating Fuyuko Kuchiki?

Will not.

He is attracted to the perfect, special person who only shows affection to him, the "White Kikyo" Chire Shiraishi.

Therefore, Shiraishi Chiren has to impersonate "Shiraishi Chiren" to make Kurose Izumi fall in love with her.

Only in this way can she and Izumi Kurose find happiness together.

Looking at the smiling, remorseless Shiraishi Chiren, Hirasawa Masato gritted his teeth and roared, "Did you even consider Izumi's feelings when you did this?!"

"How could I not have considered Izumi's feelings?" Shiraishi Chiren's face suddenly turned cold again. "Isn't Izumi very happy and content? Every day, he looks forward to tomorrow with a smile. Why didn't I consider that?"

"This is just your own selfish thought, your own idea! You haven't considered Izumi at all! You're just indulging yourself!"

"I do!" A surge of anger rose within Shiraishi Chiren. "What do you know? How dare you say such a thing?"

Why didn't she consider Kurose Izumi?

While being imprisoned by "Kuchiki Touko", it was she who took care of Kurose Izumi with gentleness, consideration and meticulous care;

When threatened by "Kuchiki Touko", she sheltered Kurose Izumi, took him in, and tried her best to win his favor;

When he was driven to despair and felt guilty by being manipulated by "Kuchiki Touko", it was she who embraced Kurose Izumi and comforted him.

And when he was looked down upon by everyone in the class, she stood up for Kurose Izumi, and didn't hesitate to scold everyone for his sake...

Doesn't Shiraishi Chiren love Kurose Izumi?

Love.

It's just that my love was too clumsy and my approach too unique.

She can master inanimate objects—music, learning, computers, and other things that can be mastered simply by learning.

But he couldn't control living things—he couldn't make Kurose Izumi belong entirely to him.

That's why she orchestrated all of this, just to make Kurose Izumi fall in love with her.

...In the end, Shiraishi Chire was just a girl who lacked a sense of security.

Her seventeen years of dull and empty life were given color for the first time because of the appearance of Izumi Kurose.

It no longer feels like I've been under anesthesia and can't feel anything.

Since spending time with Kurose Izumi, Shiraishi Chiren has felt vividly alive, her emotions surging and her heart pounding.

He alone is special.

Because Izumi Kurose can understand her, understand the person named Chire Shiraishi.

The protagonist in his novels reminded Shiraishi Chiren of herself, which touched her and made her want to learn more about Kurose Izumi.

After getting to know her, his feelings for her became uncontrollable, and he couldn't take his eyes off Kurose Izumi.

Shiraishi Senren's love is obsessive, twisted, and misunderstood.

But she hoped that Izumi Kurose could understand, and even if she couldn't, she shouldn't find out.

Therefore, she was genuinely angry when Hirasawa Masato said that she hadn't considered Kurose Izumi and was only indulging in her own selfish desires.

"My love for Izumi is beyond doubt, and it doesn't matter if it's not understood."

Shiraishi Senren stared at Hirasawa Shinbu with a gloomy look in her eyes, and said, word by word, "But it cannot be questioned, nor can anyone other than him speak ill of it."

"You're insane, Shiraishi, you're really insane." These were the only words Hirasawa Shinbu could utter when facing Shiraishi Chiren, who radiated a chilling killing intent.

"I brought you here to listen to me say these things so that you would keep a secret, not to hear you gossip about me and Izumi. I'll just ask you one question: can you keep a secret?"

Shiraishi Senren asked in a cold voice, as if to say, "If you don't agree, I'll make sure you never have to speak again."

Hirasawa Shinbu shook his head and said firmly and uncompromisingly, "Please forgive me for refusing."

Kurose Izumi has the right to know the truth, and he cannot help Shiraishi Chiren conceal it.

Otherwise, Izumi Kurose would be too pitiful, and he would be unworthy of being Izumi Kurose's good friend.

"Heh heh, then I'll make sure you never have to speak again..."

Shiraishi Chiren sneered, her face suddenly turning icy cold.

At that moment, Hirasawa Mabu felt an immense sense of crisis, and his subconscious was telling him—he would be killed!

He turned to run away, but Shiraishi Chiren rushed up and delivered an elbow strike to his abdomen!

This time, Shiraishi Chiren didn't hold back; she made her move with the premise that Hirasawa Shinbu would die here!

Only by doing so could Hirasawa Masami keep the secret and prevent her from being exposed.

Chiharu Shiraishi was well aware of the consequences of being exposed, and she couldn't bear them.
