Mystery 3 | Hanako-san

You let out a sigh of relief after stepping out from the library, glancing back at the door behind you, "I'm sure that guy would be death for me."Grumbling the sentence underneath your breath before leaving the area towards the girls' restroom, where you agreed to meet him in the evening.

But you didn't expect to see him sitting at the school garden with a girl instead.

You stopped walking through the hallway and leaning yourself over to the window behind them, hearing their conversation without their knowing. Not that you were interested in their conversation but just to make sure your ears were alright and not mistaking it.

A frown visible itself on your lips as your eyebrows furrowed.

No, you are not mistaking it.

This radish legs girl is now having a conversation with Amane. A supernatural. It looks like she managed to summon him but that would be impossible for a normal human being to do so unless for someone who born with a powerful sixth sense.

But she's not possible to be one because she couldn't see Tsukasa earlier.

Which means her death . . .——

"Tsu. Ba. Sa."Your train of thought went crashed when you sensed someone standing behind you with not so friendly aura around them, causing you to snap your head around, the color completely drained from your face barely right on time to dodge his exorcism blade from stabbing you on the face by tilting your head to the side but stabbing the wall next to you instead, obviously managed to catch the attention on the certain two.

"You've got a nerve to leave in the middle of the meeting. But thanks to it, you've got yourself a date with troublesome worksheets for the rest of the evening."He gives you a pure eyes-closed smile that would melt his fanatic fans' hearts and the radish legs was one of them as she has a heavy blush across her visage, heart-thumping rapidly with sparkles around her.

To her, he is an angel.

But to you, he is clearly the opposite. He is the demon himself. You could practically see those pair of horns on his head and his long tail behind him despite he is smiling.

God, I'll become a good supernatural if he spare me—

At the corner of your eyes, you saw how Hanako stared at the male in front of you with pure enraged as his face darkened, pulling something from behind him but you stopped him from doing so, signaling him by shaking your head softly. He noticed it, only nodded his head slowly and dismissing his weapon; a knife.

Taking a deep breath, you slowly look at the Minamoto Teru in the eyes, "As you wish, Kaichou."

But that's when your gaze softened, looking at the blade next to your face,

"B-But can y-you move that thing away, haha."You forced out a laugh, moving your face away from his exorcism blade, "You almost overdid it, you know. You are good at acting, Kaichou."

He glared at you for another second before his whole demeanor changed completely and wrapping his blade with black fabric, giving you a fake angelic smile, "Haha, my bad. Sorry."

Giving him a time to handle with his exorcism item, you glanced your eyes to the side to look at Hanako and soon at the girl you met earlier, giving her an apologetic smile, "Sorry to act like that around you . . . Yashiro Nene, right?"

"Eh? Ah- yes, ma'am!!"

"You don't have to say that 'ma'am' out loud."You said nervously, letting a small chuckle in the process before you felt someone tugging your wrist, signaling it was your cue to leave as the person didn't loosen their grip and continue dragging you away.

"See you again, radish ojō-san."You exclaimed in a playful you and seeing her turned into stone at her spot, letting yourself getting dragged by the Minamoto Teru and right when both of you make a sharp turn, he quickly released his grip with you snatched your hand away from him, walking next to him with their demeanor completely changed in a second.

"You shouldn't have done that in public, Minamoto."You are the one who breaks the silence first, obviously not wanting to have the whole journey to the student council room filled with an awkward and uncomfortable air, "We already bound a contract with each other and one of the deal is, don't you ever reveal my secret as a supernatural to others. So you better keep it firm."

"I know. And my apologize, No. 0."He muttered underneath his breath, to his surprise that he was feeling guilty for a supernatural like you that he has a contract with.

──────────────

Hey, hey, wanna know a secret?

Your fate is bound with his.

How? Well, we should keep that as a secret for now, shall we?

However . . .

There was a side of you that you kept bottled up and you are not going to let out for a meantime or anytime if it was unnecessary, knowing it would be troubling the whole school including the Seven Mysteries.

And he knew that. That's why you agreed to have a contract with him. If you ever went berserk, he would be there to exorcist you. But he knew, that wouldn't be easy even if he is the eldest among his Minamoto siblings with various strong skills and experience doing this exorcism.

If he ever makes a mistake, it means . . .

Game Over.

"That's weird, "Yashiro mumbled to herself which was heard by the spirit next to her as they watch your figure fading from their vision, tilting his head to the side in a nonchalant manner.

"And why is that?"He inquired as the female nervously turned her head to look at him.

"I didn't recall that I told her my name."

"Ohhhh!"Hanako, who is pretending to be surprised, averted his gaze momentarily away from her by lowering it on the ground before looking back at the radish-senpai, saying it with his usual optimistic self, "Maybe you forgot with that lovesick brain of yours."

"H-How can you say something that mean so casually . . . ?!"

He blinked his eyes twice and tilted his head to the side, "You little stupid. Is there should be any reason for all my action?"

"How mean . . ."Yashiro managed to mumble the words as her vision is getting blurry by her tears.
