My deskmate is actually my yandere reader.

She would rather take a risk than accept a predetermined, unbiased outcome!

When Shiraishi Senren struck Hirasawa Shinbu in the abdomen, Hirasawa Shinbu's eyes widened suddenly, his eyes becoming bloodshot.

"?!"

He opened his mouth wide, trying to make a sound, but felt his throat being choked, and a feeling of suffocation instantly invaded his brain.

"Keep the secret, and you'll live."

Shiraishi Senren gripped Hirasawa Shinbu's throat with her five fingers, her eyes filled with murderous intent: "If you don't defend, you die!"

With that, she suddenly tightened her fingers, causing Hirasawa Shinbu's vision to go black and his suffocation to intensify.

He couldn't understand why Shiraishi Chiren was so strong; she had defeated him with a single blow!

"Uh--"

Hirasawa Shinbu grabbed Shiraishi Chire's hands with both hands and tried to struggle, but she threw him to the ground like a chick.

"Cough, cough—!"

Hirasawa Shinbu, who had fallen to the ground, coughed incessantly while breathing heavily, greedily craving air.

Give me your answer.

Shiraishi Chiren looked down at Hirasawa Shinbu, her beautiful face appearing terrifying due to the murderous intent.

"I... cough cough, cough cough!"

At this moment, Hirasawa Shinbu was still unable to respond and had not yet caught his breath.

Seeing this, Shiraishi Chiren waited quietly, not in a hurry.

Originally, she never intended to actually kill Hirasawa Shinbu; she was just putting on an act.

If she were to actually kill him, she herself would be arrested, which would be a net loss.

After a while, Hirasawa Shinbu gradually calmed down. He lay on the ground, looked at the indifferent Shiraishi Chiren, and grinned:

"Come on, kill me."

108. I will definitely make you regret it.

On the vast, empty rooftop, the wind howled, caressing the girl's long hair and revealing half of her indifferent yet stunningly beautiful face.

Shiraishi Chiren looked down at Hirasawa Shinbu and suddenly smiled.

"Hmph, don't you even think about Izumi's feelings? Haven't you considered how he'll react if we tell him the truth?"

"Isn't that all your fault?" Hirasawa Shinbu gritted his teeth, glaring at her. "If you hadn't done this, things wouldn't have turned out this way."

“I have no interest in hearing accusations.” Shiraishi Chiren frowned, her tone full of impatience. “If you care about Izumi, think carefully about whether he can accept the truth.”

If Kurose Izumi knew that she was Kuchiki Touko, she would definitely fall into despair and might never recover!

The beautiful tapestry once woven has been shattered at this moment, revealing that everything was a lie.

That's unacceptable to anyone.

Faced with Shiraishi Chiren's words, Hirasawa Shinbu was speechless for a moment.

Admittedly, telling Kurose Izumi the truth would surely cause him pain and despair.

But if I don't tell him, maybe Shiraishi Chiren will give up and stay with him properly.

"My feelings for Quan are beyond doubt."

“If I were only trying to get him to change the ending, I wouldn’t have gone to all this trouble. You should understand that.”

"I will make up for what I did to Quan, even if it costs me everything I have."

After saying this, Shiraishi Chiren quietly waited for Hirasawa Shinbu's reply.

If she still couldn't convince him, she would have to resort to threats to force him to comply.

He's not afraid of death, so isn't he worried about Tsuda Yoshi?

Shiraishi Chiren could easily tie him up here, unlock his phone, send a message to Tsuda Yoshi, and trick her into coming here.

Of course, he would also leave some leverage over the two of them to force Hirasawa Mabu to comply, so that he would not turn around and confess everything to Kurose Izumi.

Even if this behavior is despicable, Shiraishi Chiren would do it without hesitation.

Fortunately, after remaining silent for a long time, Hirasawa Shinbu began to waver.

Shiraishi Chire's words are still somewhat credible.

If she only cared about the ending, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths to arrange what happened after her imprisonment.

Since she likes Kurose Izumi, wouldn't it be better to keep her past actions a secret?

'No... if you think like that, then Izumi is too pitiful.'

Hirasawa Mabu shook his head, rejecting the idea of ​​hiding it from Kurose Izumi.

"I'll give you three seconds to answer. If you refuse or don't answer, I'll use my methods to force you to compromise."

After saying that, Shiraishi Chiren stretched out her fingers and began to count.

Just as she uttered the number 'three', Hirasawa Shinbu said in a low voice, "...Please give me two days to consider."

Right now, his mind is in a mess and he needs some time to sort out his thoughts.

It will also take time to have someone investigate Shiraishi Chiren and see what she did to Kurose Izumi.

Now that we have a specific target, the investigation becomes much simpler and doesn't take too long.

The entanglements I heard about at the Kurose Izumi family were too one-sided and much of what I was told was concealed.

Therefore, he needs to know what Shiraishi Chire, who has transformed into "Kuchiki Touko," did to Kurose Izumi and whether she hurt him, in order to respond.

If Shiraishi Chiren truly wants to be with Kurose Izumi and has not harmed him, then Hirasawa Mabu has no choice but to compromise.

There's no other way; it's definitely better not to tell than to tell.

...even if it would make him feel guilty towards Kurose Izumi.

Shiraishi Chiren stared at Hirasawa Shinbu for a while before smiling and saying, "Fine. But I warn you, if you turn around and tell Izumi the truth, I'll make you regret it."

"And don't forget, this is what you owe me."

"The reason why Izumi saw Kurosaki Tetsuya meeting with other people that day was because I deliberately arranged it, and everything afterward was also done by me."

"Didn't you say you wanted to make it up to me? Fine, then please shut your mouth forever."

After saying that, she turned and left, leaving Hirasawa Shinbu lying on the ground, staring blankly at the sky.

After a long while, he sighed, stood up from the ground, and left the rooftop with heavy steps.

……

After leaving the rooftop, Shiraishi Chiren walked through the club's elevated corridor, arrived at the Animation Research Club, and pushed open the door to enter.

She looked at Kurose Izumi and Inari Yuki, who were sitting opposite each other at the birchwood table, each busy with their own tasks, and said softly, "Sorry I'm late."

"It's alright, please sit down." Kurose Izumi stopped typing, looked up and smiled.

"Ah."

And so, Shiraishi Chiren sat down next to Kurose Izumi as if nothing had happened, picked up the cup in front of her, and took a sip of the still warm black tea.

Sitting next to her, Izumi Kurose had no idea that her best friend had almost been killed by her not long ago!

They would never know that Shiraishi Chiren is actually "Kuchiki Touko".

This truth will be hidden in darkness, forever shrouded in dust.

"Quan, I promise I will protect you and never let you get hurt."

Chiren Shiraishi put down her teacup, her eyes softening as she gazed at Izumi Kurose, who was engrossed in typing, a smile playing on her lips.

The daily routine of the Animal Research Department should continue peacefully like this.

Once Izumi Kurose finishes writing the ending, they will also get busy creating their own galga.

If things continue to develop smoothly like this, the days to come will be full of anticipation and laughter, right?

Chire Shiraishi hopes that she can stay with Izumi Kurose forever in the future—year after year, day after day, moment after moment.

……

At 5:30 p.m., the club activity ended, and the three of them packed up their tea sets and left the club room.

On the way home, Kurose Izumi held Shiraishi Chire's hand and said with a smile, "That kid Shinbu has found his own happiness too. That's great, congratulations!"

"Yes, that's nice." Shiraishi Chiren nodded, a smile on her face.

Hirasawa Masato's happiness depends on keeping her secret.

If he reveals that secret, then Shiraishi Chiren will personally destroy this happiness.

If you don't want her to have a good time, then nobody else should have a good time either.

"I'll be able to finish writing the ending by next Monday. I'll create it for Qianlian then."

"Well, then I'll leave it to you, Izumi."

"Haha, isn't that what we should do?"

Kurose Izumi chuckled, turned her head to look at Shiraishi Chire's delicate profile, and couldn't help but stop in her tracks.

Shiraishi Chiren also stopped and looked at him, her eyes seemingly filled with doubt.

"Qianlian, please take care of me from now on."

"Huh? Why are you suddenly saying this out of the blue?"

"Because I wanted to say it."

"Fool……"

Under the gentle twilight, Kurose Izumi cupped Shiraishi Chire's soft, fair face and kissed her passionately.

This was the first time he had taken the initiative.
