Chapter 6 Section VI

During lunch break the next day, I called Yoko to the school bench where she had been playing softball on the playground. I first told her the gist of the incident.Yoko was even more surprised than when I said to her two days ago, "Tatsu was killed too." "Kasai-san?" I nodded affirmatively. "How...why?" "This..." This time I shook my head again, feeling like a bobblehead. "I'm not so sure either." "You don't know...then why do you say Kasai-san is the murderer..." "This is the result of my investigation."

I told Yoko about Reiko Kijima's assistance in the investigation and Miyoko Kasai's suicide attempt.Yoko didn't seem to know about Miyoko Kasai's attempted suicide, and was hit hard. "Kijima's actions were made with great fanfare, and everyone who saw him said that this incident was related to that accident. Kasai felt a crisis from it, so he tried to commit suicide." This incident always makes me feel an unspeakable guilt.In fact, I don't want to push the murderer to this point. "But why is Kasai-san..." "Regarding this, Yoko, do you have any clues in your mind? You should be very clear about Tatsuya, right?"

"Even if it's about Ada, it's impossible for me to know everything." She shook her head slightly. We both fell silent for a while.One is a lover and the other is a close friend, but neither of us understand Tatsuya. After a long time, Yoko spoke slowly. "I'm going to meet Kasai-san and ask her for the truth. She will definitely tell the truth to me." "Yoko you?" "Ok." "Alright..." That might be fine too.Facing Yoko, maybe Kasai Miyoko will tell the truth. "I see. Then I will leave this matter to you." Other than that, there is no other way.

Three days later, on Sunday, I was called home by Yoko.The yard is quite wide, and it feels like the whole house is composed of white boxes.Yoko's room was on the second floor, and it was the first time I had been here since graduating from elementary school. "There is also Ada's reason." Yoko said while sipping the black tea brought by her mother. "Ada once let other people in the English dialogue group read the love letter. It seems that they rejected her through those people. Ada is like this. Maybe he thought it would be better to do this than to refuse directly, but in fact he I didn't realize that what he did was trampling on a girl's heart."

Yoko's tone seemed to be speaking for Miyoko Kasai, with a hint of anxiety in her voice. "So Kasai-san wanted to scare him in order to get revenge on him a little bit. Then she cried and said that she didn't expect such a thing to happen later." "..." "What happened after that was probably the same as what you speculated, Aliang. When she learned that someone was investigating who had been to the tailoring room, she completely gave up. Although she tried to commit suicide to atone for the crime, she failed. It made her very annoyed that she could die like this."

"...That's right." At a time like this, I don't know what to say, and I don't know who to blame.I think, maybe no one is to blame for this, and no one should be to blame. "Little prank." I said the words that came to mind suddenly.Yoko said nothing.
