“Hah?”
Shizuku’s small mouth hung slightly open in disbelief as Cklares continued.
“You thought Sisel was just an ordinary, strong girl. But that’s not true.”
A misconception Shizuku held—one that Cklares had to correct.
“She wasn’t as strong as you believed. She suffered from the bullying. She was just forcing herself to act tough around you.”
“W-Wait a second!”
Shizuku raised her voice.
“Sisel… that’s…! Why are you telling me this now!? What’s your point!?”
“It means you’re a heartless, tearless, inhuman monster, Cram.”… Read more

Cklares watched as the past, woven from sound, unfolded before her.
They stood before the entrance of an apartment.
A girl in school uniform with orange hair spoke to the closed door.
“Hey… Tiana. Why won’t you come out? There’s no one else in the apartment… and your parents, they…”
A pause. A few seconds of silence.
“‘Go away’…? Why?”
Cklares wondered if Shizuku had said something from the other side.
In [Vision], the Unlaws were invisible.… Read more

Shizuku and Cklares’s parents. Their neighbors. Their acquaintances.
All of them were illusions conjured by 《Unlaw》’s ability.
But. Shizuku had no intention of holding back. Neither she nor Cklares harbored any hesitation about attacking illusions—no matter how much they resembled family or friends.
The two raised their gun and cane respectively.
“……!?”
They didn’t move. Couldn’t move.
Shizuku tried to initiate motion. But at that moment, she was assaulted by a strange sensation.
Hesitation—or perhaps aversion.… Read more
I Tell You Monster. Volume 2 Chapter 2 part 6
As Shizuku wandered aimlessly through the school building, she stopped in front of a certain door.
“It’s the music room. Something wrong?”
“……”
Ignoring Cklares’s words, she pushed open the heavy, soundproofed door and stepped inside.
The music room was eerily empty.
The first thing that caught her eye was the long student desks. A blackboard stood at the front, with a grand piano beside it. Portraits of past musicians hung on the walls, and shelves near the windows held various instrument cases.… Read more

“…You actually listen to what teachers say, don’t you?”
“Well, I am a student after all. At that point it was still just a single incident, so I never expected that the second case would involve two people collapsing together. There wasn’t even solid proof it was an 《Unlaw》 incident.”
“But the second one happened.”
“Yes. And precisely while I was resting.”
“Isn’t that… reading too much into it?”
“Norman-sensei would first consider the worst-case scenario.”… Read more

“Don’t you dare underestimate me…!”
Shizuku spat the words at Cklares but never stopped moving.
If you mock me, I’ll kill you. That was one of Shizuku’s principles.
So, she released her left hand from the swinging rod.
Extending her knee, she drove her left arm upward to intercept Cklares’s descending fist.
“Oh?”
And she didn’t stop there.
Kicking off the mat, she thrust the rod in her right hand between Cklares’s legs and—
“Hah! This is what I call rough…!”… Read more
I Tell You Monster. Volume 2 Chapter 2 part 3
Shizuku’s transfer had been decided the very day Rebecca visited the office.
Norman negotiated with the headmaster of Evergrace Academy, and the matter was settled. By the next day, Shizuku was enrolled. Though she’d made up her mind to return, even she was surprised by how quickly things moved. Whether it was because the headmaster took the situation seriously or because Norman was just that good at negotiations—
—to Shizuku, none of that mattered.
She’d come back to Evergrace to uncover the truth behind the ridiculous rumors about Sisel.… Read more

“So, what business does a student devoted to daily social contribution have in a place like this? Do you have some malicious stalker or something?”
“No, it’s not that kind of thing…”
She pressed her fist against her chest and looked down as if choosing her words.
That hand was tightly clenched and trembling.
Rather than being nervous, it was as if she was cowering from something.
Once, she cast her eyes down,
“…It was five days ago.”… Read more

The Bean Sidhe in Fairyland
“Hey, Tiana. Won’t you play the violin?”
In some classroom, [she] suddenly said such a thing.
The silver-haired girl who had been dozing with her head buried in her desk slowly raised her body and responded.
“I refuse.”
“An immediate answer, huh. Think about it a little.”
[She] smiled wryly, and the girl sighed once more.
“In the first place, I can’t even play the violin, so why would you suggest such a thing…”
“No, no, it’s not that you can’t do it—you just don’t want to because it’s troublesome.… Read more

“Suu────”
Lonzder relaxed all the strength from her body for an instant.
Even though she had been hardened, she had been engulfed in explosive flames multiple times, her left arm torn, and she had lost a lot of blood clinging to the hell hound. Even in [Deepened State], her physical body was near its limit.
So she lightly placed her uninjured right fist against the demon’s back.
Closing her eyes, concentrating her mind.… Read more
