p1
>Do you know the value of using the rich girls of Fuyou?

p2
>I-I
>would never...

>Shoplift? Then why don't we go straight to the police?
>Th-That's...

>That uniform's Fuyou, right? That rich kid school?
>If the police get involved, you may have to drop out, y'know?
>Why don't you become my friend?
>Do that, and I won't tell anyone about what happened just now.

>>Has sent you a stamp.

>I can't tell Fuuka...
>She'll get caught up in this...

p4
>She's going straight home today too.
>No arcades or karaoke or anything.
>Those are against school rules.

>White Rose-sama's the student council president, so she goes home late.
>Hirai Narue was part of the student council too, right? There's a connection.

p5
>You don't look so good. Wanna head straight home?
>The two of us can keep on tailing her.

>Ah, no, I'm fine.

>...
>...
>Ah!
>Hey, she's getting away!

>Wait for me~


p6
>!?

>White Rose seems kinda spacey...
>Could she really kill someone?

>She certainly doesn't seem like anyone suspicious.
>That's true, but still.

p8
>That's one swanky apartment building.

>I guess her parents must be loaded?
>I believe White Rose-sama lives by herself.
>Geh
>So she's living in a high-rise on her parents' money?

>I'm not so sure.
>It seems both of White Rose-sama's parents have passed away.
>Her house was engulfed in a fire, so she had to move here.
>Awkward...
>Oh, is that so?

>Sorry, I need to head to cram school now...
>Guess she's not gonna show herself that easily, huh?
>Let's just call it a day~
>Indeed... Well then, see you tomorrow.

p9
>Hey, we're here.

>Huh...?

>You accompanied me all the way to my house...?

>It's the least I can do. You've been looking pretty down these past few days, after all.

p10
>If anything happens, let me know.
>We're friends, right?

>That's right.

>Fuuka lost a friend to that website too...

p11
>Thank you.
>I'll do my best.

>Ah.
>Sure.

p12
>See you tomorrow~

>>Rina
>>Come straight away if I call for you~
>>Meet me in the café behind the station
>>Third floor
>>Open map

p13
>She's late~
>Ah~ There she is.

>Don't you know the meaning of "come straight away"~?

>What do you want from me?

p14
>Huuh?

>How scary~<3
>We've got a favor to ask~

>We're meeting up with someone in a bit,
>so lend us some cash.

>Simple, right?

>...I refuse.

p15
>Eh~? You think you're in any position to refuse? Don't you want the perks of being our friend~
>If it's about that photo, I didn't do it...

>Then why don't we go to the police?

>...I don't care.

>Hmm.

>Mm.
>?

p16
>Eh? Why do you...

>They're both rich kids from Fuyou too, right?

>That kid with the black hair seems like she'd be popular<3

p17
>M-
>My friends have nothing to do with this!

>I knew it... Your voice has the power to control people.

>Nothing to do with this? Friends have a wonderful connection.
>They help each other when they're in trouble.
>Your friends are the same too, right, Renna-chan?

p18
>If you're in trouble, they'll come save you, right?

>If anything happens, let me know.
>We're friends, right?

p20
>I won't let you put my friends in danger...

p21
>Danger? How rude~ We're not gonna do anything dangerous.
>We plan on being friends with you for a looong time, Renna-chan<3

>And with that voice of yours,

>we might be able to do all kinds of things.

>...My voice?
>Eh!? For real?

>Rina.
>It says Kayoko went and jumped off a roof.
>Eh~? Bit fast, isn't it?

>name: Kayo
>I can't take it anymore. Somebody please help me.

p22
>When did this happen!?
>Huh? Gross.

>Says it was about 5pm this afternoon.

>5pm...?

>That's when we were tailing White Rose-sama...

>I guess it's not her after all...
>I have to let the other two know.

p23
>I need to call them...

p24
>Renna-chan, let's continue our chat somewhere else.

>For your friends' sakes too.

p25
>!?
>It's a fire!
>What!?
>Lemme out of here!
>A fire!?

>Kyaah!

p26
>Hah Hah

>Hah
>Hah

p27
>That person is...

p28
>I sincerely apologise.
>It seems the emergency alarm in another building malfunctioned.
>Is that all?
>Don't scare me like that.

>Lame...

>Aw man~
>And we were about to finish things up today too.

>Whatever. I've got her friends and family in check.
>She's naive if she think she can get away~

p29
>Same goes for you.

>Huh?

p30
>Why... Who...?

>The request this time around wasn't "assisting" a suicide. It was "revenge".
>It read, "I can never forgive her, so make her suffer the same fate."

>It's not a site for requesting people be killed...
>but I accepted it anyway.
>Ah...

>I have to protect my students.

p31
>I am the student council president, after all.

>White Rose-sama.

p32
>White Rose-sama... No.
>Orihara-senpai. It's you, isn't it?

>...And just when
>I had come to your rescue.

>>Renna makes contact with White Rose-sama. Is she in danger...!?
