“Surprise attack? If you want, I can burn you to a crisp right now!”
“No, please!”
Farren stepped in between me and Dominic.
“I don’t have time for your bullshit.”
Dominic snorted and left.
As I stared at him, I asked Farren.
“Hey, Farren…… that miasma you were talking about earlier, was it that true?”
“That…”
He looked around to make sure no one was around, and then gave me an earful.
“Yes……. The miasma was thicker and clearer than before.”
“Is the miasma…… safe?”
I asked back in a low voice.
“No, it’s not okay! Because of that, that person is……. The miasma always harmspeople. You should never handle…… something like that. Never……”
“Farren…… what happened?”
She seemed to have extraordinary feelings about the miasma.
“No… it’s nothing. But I didn’t expect…… the miasma to become this thick in the past few days……”
That’s not…… a bad thing, is it?
“Hey……. Did you tell Chris-sensei about this?”
“I’ll have to tell him, of course.”
We hurried back to the classroom, and Chris-sensei was standing at the podium with a more serious expression than usual.
What is it?
I have a…… bad feeling about this.
After confirming that I and Farren had returned, Chris-sensei said.
“So then, Dominic. ……Do you know where he is?”
He asked us.
“I don’t know.”
When I answered, he muttered, “I see.”
“A middle school student has been found dead. The cause is unknown. Since there is a possibility that it is an incident, I’m going to investigate. That’s why I’m not going to have class this afternoon. Don’t take any detours and go home.”
