Black Black Lotus ch7

p1
>>The unrest of an unexpected person...!

>I might have an idea of who this person is.
>It's White Rose-sama.

>Eh...? No way...
>White Rose? The one from our school?

>That day... I just so happened to be walking on the neighboring street.

>That's when I noticed White Rose-sama going into a rental room.
>I wondered what she was doing there and walked past it when...

p2
>>The beautiful white rose is stained with the color of blood...?

p3
>Eh? You mean...
>White Rose is ***...?

>Why would a rich girl from Fuyou...

>But Black Rose-sama was also...

>I don't blame you for not believing me.
>I only caught a glimpse of her myself.

>It may have just been someone else wearing the same clothes.

>Sorry for saying something unneccessary.
>You must think I'm suspicious...

p4
>I-I believe you!

>There you go again...

p5
>I believe you,
>so please investigate with us.

>...Kay.
>Wah

>I'm hungry, so let's eat some cake!
>Eh? Me too.
>...Alright, me too.

>What's that?

p6
>..I can't!
>Eep!
>Like I care~
>What's up, Rina~?

>There seems to be some serious comraderie going on over there~

p7
>Let me have a bite of your cake, Fuuka~
>Let's trade. What about you, Kasumi?
>I'm not giving you mine.
>Huh!?
>They look like rich kids~

>Think that voice would sell~?

p8
>White Rose-sama, huh...
>I have no idea what kind of person she is...
>But if it really was her,
>that would explain why Narue-san was covering for her...

>We never know everything about someone's true nature.

>Even Black Rose-sama had both a gentle side and a terrifying side.
>Maybe even more sides beyond those...

p9
>I wonder what the true Black Rose-sama was like.

>If I hadn't ran away back then,
>maybe I could've known...

>>About White Rose-sama

>This is...

p10
>Hah~
>That test was exhausting!

>Fufu
>That was the worst!
>The total worst!

>Do you two normally have discussions in this kind of place?

>It's fine, ain't it?
>We won't get eavesdropped on this way.
>Hehe

p11
>Going to the karaoke box in uniform is against school rules.
>Eh!?

>I had no idea...
>Did you not read your student handbook properly?

>Going to places of amusement in your uniform is against the rules.
>Our uniform stands out, after all.

>Eeh...?
>Like we were gonna read all of that!
>Right~?

>Please be careful, Renna-san.
>Fuuka-san is rather odd as far as Fuyou students go.
>Hah...
>What was that!?

p12
>So, how'd it go with White Rose-sama?
>Upon entering high school, she moved here from another prefecture by herself.
>I have a friend in that prefecture, so I asked her to look into what happened while she was in elementary and middle school...

>What are these...?

>>The Sixth One in OO City - Special - New Cat Corpse Found in Public Park
>>Latest in strange cases, police investigating under breach of animal protection law.
>>Elementary School Student Falls From Emergency Staircase
>>Male student fell from fourth floor.
>>Elementary School's Rabbit Killed
>>Was stabbed with a knife-like object.
>>Middle School Student Stabbed to Death
>>Body found on the riverbed.

p13
>These are all incidents that happened in White Rose-sama's vicinity.
>The culprit was never found.

>You saying these were all White Rose's doing?

>I don't know.
>All I can say at this point is that a lot of strange cases happened around her.
>But from what my friend looked into, White Rose-sama was apparently feared by some people.

>It seems that during elementary school, she would protect those who were bullied and quarrel with their bullies.
>That's a good thing, right?

>No, it isn't.

p14
>It was then that White Rose-sama
>allegedly used a sharp object without hesitation.

>The fact there was bullying involved never made it to the news back then.
>It was all about why White Rose-sama was carrying a knife around and what would make her cut someone just like that.
>It simply became "that girl is scary".
>There were rumors that she might have been the one who killed the school's rabbit too.

p15
>That gentle White Rose-sama did such a thing...?
>But if that is the case, then the one who pushed Fuuka's friend was...

>Looks like looking into her was worth it.
>If White Rose is ***, then she's committing serial murders.
>And she's supposed to be Fuyou's idol? Don't make me laugh.

p16
>Is she's assisting all of the suicides *** replies to,
>then she's already at serial killer level.
>If she's had that personality since childhood and became a serial killer...

>...then it won't be long until she can't control herself anymore.

p17
>It's gotten late...
>But I need to buy a notebook.

p18
>Ah!

>Sorry.

p19
>Good evening.

>Eh?
>Eh?

>I saw you~
>You were shoplifting<3

>Eh!?

p20
>Hey~
>We've got photographic evidence too.
>Whatcha gonna do?

>>Rina's got Renna in her sights. Now's not the time for that...!!
